.Liu Wengang, commander of the Volunteer Air Force, announced with a high profile that he shot down a US F-22a fighter jet in the air battle, and the first result of the entry into North Korea was immediately the number one news of the day, making almost all news media forget that in this air battle, the Volunteer Army lost ten fighters and failed to complete the bombing mission.

The US-South Korea coalition first denied it, and then admitted that it lost an F-22a, but did not admit that it was an air combat loss.

The propaganda war initiated by Huang Zhibo did not end there.

A few hours later, the Aid Korea Operations Command announced the detailed process of air combat, and emphasized that the one who shot down f-22a was J-11b developed by China.

Now, Russia quits.

Before the Russian official came forward, Sukhoi Company took the lead in claiming that China's j-11b was actually a su-27sk produced by Russia authorized by China.

Regarding Sukhoi's statement, the leader of Shen Fei expressed disdain for the interview.

Is j-11b su-27sk?

Russia's official statement is still objective and fair. After emphasizing the relationship between j-11b and su-27sk, it pointed out the particularity of j-11b, that is, the internal structure, engine, fire control system, and missiles used in air combat have nothing to do with Russia. They are all the achievements accumulated by China's military technology development. However, in terms of aerodynamic appearance, j-11b and su-27sk are exactly the same.

When China and Russia were in a turmoil, AFP also came to join in the fun.

After the US military admitted to losing an F-22a, AFP reported that the US military not only lost an F-22a, but also an F-22a suffered a heavy blow. It did not fly back to Kadena Air Force Base, but instead landed at a South Korean Air Force Base near Daejeon and was immediately scrapped.

This report has both accurate and inaccurate sides.

Captain Robert's F-22a was indeed shot and did not fly back to Okinawa, but flew to Daejeon and landed at the South Korean Air Force Base. However, the F-22a was not scrapped, but had to replace the molded left wing. Because Lockheed Martin had already closed the F-22a production line, it took time to reopen the production line, and the US military did not have the necessary equipment to repair the F-22a, so the US military had to dismantle the fighter and transport it back to the local area with a C-17.

AFP reported this simply to prove that the F-22a is not as powerful as the US military boasts, and to promote Dassault's Rafale fighter.

You should know that the ef2000 jointly developed by Europe has received foreign trade orders, and the F-35 has sold as many as thousands of aircraft. Even the old fighter jets in Russia are in full swing, while the "Ravel" created by France has not yet had an overseas user.

Only by taking advantage of this can the Gaul rooster have the capital to boast about the advanced nature of "gusts".

Without much effort, Huang Zhibo's propaganda war had an effect.

Although the US-South Korea coalition forces were not greatly affected, they still firmly grasped air supremacy, bombing continued, and ground troops were also advancing north, but the number of fighter jets patrolling in the air increased sharply, and the f-22a changed from a dual-aircraft formation to a four-aircraft formation, and the air patrol range shrank by fifty kilometers southward.

The tactical adjustments of the US-South Korea coalition forces have created opportunities for the Volunteer Air Force.

On the morning of the same day, the Volunteer Air Force took the initiative to intercept two batches of South Korean fighter jets crossing the 39th North latitude. Although there was no air combat, the South Korean fighter jets hurriedly threw away their ammunition and gave up the bombing mission, which greatly increased the morale of the Volunteer Air Force and the People's Army.

In the afternoon, the Volunteer Air Force intercepted a US F-15e formation near the 39th North latitude line.

This time, both sides were not ruthless. After f-15e dropped the ground attack ammunition, they used the Aim-120c to fight against the J-10a of the Volunteer Air Force. In the short over-visual air battle, both sides suffered losses. Three F-15e were shot down by j-10a with SD-10, and two J-10a were shot down by aim-120c. Because F-22a was reinforcing quickly, the Volunteer Air Force took the initiative to evacuate the battlefield and did not fight with the US military.

This air battle once again pushed the air power of both sides to the forefront of public opinion.

However, this time the protagonist is j-10a, not j-11b.

Although China has not disclosed detailed performance data of j-10a, in official news, the 52nd batch and the 56th batch f-16c/d and j-10a are often compared with the 56th batch, claiming that some of the performance of j-10a exceeds that of this most representative third-generation light fighter, according to external estimates, because of the large number of weight reduction measures in the design stage, the air combat maneuverability of j-10a exceeds j-11b.

Some semi-public data indicators also prove that the maneuverability of j-10a is not only not worse than j-11b, but also much better vertical maneuverability. For example, the air combat weight of j-10a is only 45% of j-11b, which is equivalent to an increase of thrust-weight ratio by 10%. In addition, j-10a adopts a near-coupled canard and triangular wing layout, focusing on transsonic maneuverability, while the aerodynamic appearance of j-11b focuses more on subsonic maneuverability.

To talk about the disadvantages, j-10a is a light fighter, and its combat radius and multi-mission capabilities are obviously inferior to j-11b.

These two issues are not prominent when they rely on their local challenges to the US and South Korea's coalition forces, and they focus on air control missions.

The results of the battle with f-15e prove that j-10a is an excellent high-mobility fighter. Unfortunately, j-10a failed to match f-22a.

j-11b can shoot down f-22a in air combat. Even if there is such a little luck, can j-10a do it?

For a time, the performance comparison between j-10a and f-22a, as well as the resulting air combat exchange ratio, were flooded with military and international current affairs channels of major news media.

Huang Zhibo attaches importance to publicity, but will not be influenced by publicity.

His order was very clear: Volunteer fighter jets must not take the initiative to cross the 39th direction of the north latitude, and the main task is to intercept and attack the US-South Korea coalition combat aircraft that attack northern North Korea.

This order cannot eliminate the threats to the northern region of North Korea, but it can minimize the air superiority of the US-South Korea coalition forces.

Although the US and South Korean coalition forces have equipped a large number of off-domain ammunition with a range of more than 100 kilometers, and the range of the US air-launched cruise missiles is as high as 2,500 kilometers, during large-scale bombing, the main ammunition used by the US and South Korean coalition forces are gliding bombs and short-range missiles with a range of only a few dozen kilometers.

Relying on the SD-10 with a maximum range of 80 kilometers, Volunteer Fighters are enough to form an air defense line at the 39th-degree north latitude. Although the hit rate of the SD-10 has been greatly reduced after the range exceeds 40 kilometers, and the attacked fighter can easily get rid of the missile, for fighters carrying a large amount of ground-to-ground ammunition, they must immediately throw away the ammunition after being attacked by the missile, either fight with the opponent in air or turn to escape.

Even heavy fighter jets like the F-15e cannot be able to ward off the missiles with a few tons of bombs.

The problem returns to the US-South Korea Allied Forces.

Under the blockade of the Volunteer Air Force, the bombing operations against northern North Korea were greatly affected. The success rate of the bombing on that day dropped to less than 40%. After being threatened, a large number of fighter jets had to throw away expensive ammunition. Because the main forces responsible for the bombing mission were the US F-15e and the South Korean F-15k, and the air combat performance of these two fighters was not as good as that of the F-15c, so they fled the battlefield most of the time to avoid fighting with the Volunteer Army.

There is only one solution: expand the air patrol area northward.

The US military does not lack air-optimal fighter jets. In addition to dozens of F-22a deployed in Okinawa, there are also dozens of F-15c deployed in South Korea. It only goes deep into North Korean airspace and must face the People's Army's air defense missiles, and even consider the long-range air defense system deployed by the Volunteer Army near the China-North Korea border. The f-15c is not a stealth fighter and is easily discovered. The probability of survival in front of long-range air defense missiles is very low. Only F-22a can perform forward air combat missions, but the US military also has doubts about the survivability of such fighter jets.

The root cause lies in the downed f-22a and the battle report submitted by Captain Robert.

Before the fire exchange, J-11b felt the existence of F-22a and used tangential maneuver to avoid the first batch of Aim-120d missiles fired by F-22a. Then J-11b used fire-controlled radar to detect F-22a forty kilometers away and launched SD-10 thirty kilometers away, causing the F-22a driven by Ensign Jerry to be shot down.

By comparing the front and back, you can find that the key is not j-11b, but the early warning aircraft of the Chinese Air Force.

If the early warning aircraft does not detect f-22a, it will not be able to notify j-11b in time. The first batch of aim-120d launched by f-22a can shoot down four j-11bs, and the air combat will not enter the fighting stage.

Does the Chinese Air Force master the technical means of detecting stealth fighter jets?

This doubt made General Aron very worried.

If the F-22a loses its stealth ability and penetrates into North Korea's hinterland, the number one threat is not the fighter jet in the sky, but the air defense missile on the ground.

Losing one F-22a can shake the idea that the US military will win. If a few more aircraft are lost, it would be great.

When General Aron hesitated whether to expand the air-control patrol area, the US and South Korean coalition took a compromise: providing cover for the attack aircraft group.

What changed was the bombing tactics of the US-South Korea coalition forces.

The attack aircraft are not only f-15c and other escort fighters, but also air defense suppression fighters headed by EA-18g "Roarer". The bombing focus of the US-South Korea coalition forces has also shifted to the People's Army's air defense system and air force base, striving to minimize the People's Army's air defense firepower.

In this way, Huang Zhibo's goal was achieved.

When the US and South Korean coalition sent a large number of fighter jets to bomb the People's Army's air defense systems and air bases, the number of fighter jets attacking the People's Army's ground forces and defense facilities was greatly reduced.

This is definitely not good news for the ground forces of the US-South Korea Allied Forces that are advancing.

If the US and South Korean coalition forces plan to capture Pyongyang within seven days, they will have to pay a greater price.

In order to speed up the offensive, the US and South Korean coalition had no choice but to temporarily put down the Fourth Corps, focus on Haizhou, and concentrate on attacking the First Corps guarding Huangzhouchuan.

The result is that a large number of combat troops, heavy equipment and combat supplies, need to be transported to the front line by sea.

Huang Zhibo's prediction is very accurate, and the combat plan he proposed is also more meaningful: to prevent the US and South Korean coalition forces from capturing Pyongyang, it is necessary to cut off the sea supply line of the US and South Korean coalition forces.

The question is, is it too much to use a submarine?

Submarines are not fighter jets, and there is no sign before launching an attack. Using submarines to attack ships is easily regarded as a landmark event of a large-scale war.

A hundred years ago, the United States joined the Allies, which was related to Germany's unlimited submarine warfare.

Restricting the attack methods of submarines will make the submarine lose its concealment and become insignificant.

Before approving the submarine to join the war, Fu Xiubo gave Huang Zhibo another force: Naval Aviation.

Bombing ships carrying combat troops and equipment with fighter jets is much brighter than using submarines, so there is no need to worry about being criticized by the other party.

It’s just that air supremacy is not in the hands of the volunteers, and the naval aviation force’s participation in the war is not very meaningful.
