Chapter 81 Air Defense Interception

.

The first thing that made the adjustment was not Yang Yufang, but the coalition air defense combat commander.

After losing one F-22a in the first air battle, the US military is also exploring tactics against J-11b and J-10a. Although there are as many as sixty F-22a participating in the battle, equivalent to one-third of the total aircraft fleet, F-22a is extremely expensive and the unit price is three times that of f-15c.

In order to reduce losses, the US military allowed the F-15c to undertake more air control tasks.

Because the advantageous airspace is expanded to the 39th degree north latitude, air-optimal fighters can provide cover for the attack aircraft group and no longer arrange escort fighters, so there are enough air-control fighters to strengthen the air defense line and ensure the absolute air supremacy of the coalition forces in the area south of the 39th degree north latitude.

The j-10a machine group faces not only f-22a, but also f-15c.

After learning from the lessons and concerns about the stealth energy of the F-22a, the US military adjusted its air control tactics, patrolling the F-15c near the 39th-degree north latitude to form the first intercept line. The F-22a aircraft group with a relatively large scale acts as a mobile force at 40 to 60 kilometers south of the F-15c aircraft group.

This tactical arrangement truly reflects the value of f-22a.

F-15c forward deployment can fully utilize the residual heat of this fighter. Relying on the support of e-3d and e-2d, f-15c has no obvious disadvantage when fighting j-11b and j-10a. Because the defense party has no initiative, it is very likely to encounter the enemy's superior forces on local battlefields, so the f-22a aircraft group behind the "Eagle Wall" plays a supporting role and can provide strong support for the f-15c aircraft group.

This tactic can also minimize the possibility of group violence in the F-22a aircraft.

The first air battle has proved that J-11b's active phased array radar, or optical radar, can detect f-22a at a distance of about 40 kilometers, and use pl-12, that is, sd-10 to launch an attack. F-15c advances forty to sixty kilometers, just offsetting this distance.

The deployment method of fighter jets is very important, but in the US military's air control tactics, the real main force is a combat system with early warning aircraft as the core.

As the dominant airspace extends northward, the patrol airspace of early warning aircraft has also been moved from south of Seoul to near the 38th parallel.

Because the aircraft carrier battle group is in the Sea of ​​Japan, the deployment method of coalition early warning aircraft is a bit unique. On the Western Front battlefield, the early warning aircraft group consists of the US e-3D and the Korean air e-2C. The e-3D patrols over Kaesong to Banmén, and the e-2C is deployed over the Wengjin Peninsula. On the Eastern Front battlefield, the early warning aircraft group consists of the US e-3D and e-2D. The e-3D patrol area is in the south of Gangwon Dock in North Korea, and the e-2D advances to the East Korea Bay.

In order to enhance electronic warfare capabilities, the two early warning aircraft groups each have several ec-135 electronic warfare aircraft, and usually at least one accompanying early warning aircraft patrols and alerts.

Although the coalition's command system is very complete, the two early warning aircraft groups are independent of each other.

However, when distributing combat forces, the air combat command center of the coalition forces will be uniformly allocated.

The j-10a aircraft group was discovered by the coalition early warning aircraft before it crossed the Yalu River.

Because of the preparations, the coalition forces remained unmoved. It was not until the J-10a fleet crossed the Yalu River and was near the dominant airspace that the coalition forces organized an interception operation.

The first thing that came on the stage was the f-15c that was deployed from the front.

Opposite the battlefield, the kj-2000 and the kj-200 have been trying hard to search for the f-22a, and have long discovered the f-15c fighter that has turned to the fight.

There are not many or many, and there are also twelve aircraft.

The coalition must have learned lessons and when fighting j-11b and j-10a alone, f-15c has no obvious advantage, and quantity determines everything.

The j-10a did not face the f-15c and suddenly turned when it was about to enter the effective range of the medium-range air-to-air missile.

The intentions of the Volunteer Army cannot be more obvious.

The mission of j-10a is not to seize air supremacy, but to divert the coalition's air defense fighter jets and open a channel for subsequent attack aircraft groups.

What we want to lead is not f-15c, but f-22a.

If there is only F-15c in the air, the volunteer army should adopt the forward escort tactic, and the escort fighter jets entangle the F-15c, and the attack aircraft group will take the opportunity to launch an attack.

However, this batch of j-10a must not be let go.

Because the airspace of the combat aircraft will not exceed 500 kilometers from the air base where the J-10a is deployed, and it can also make an emergency landing at the North Korean airport in an emergency, the combat performance of the Volunteer Fighter jets is very fierce, and they often will not return without a single bullet. The twelve fighter jets are a threat that cannot be seen.

If air defense fighters are attacked by these J-10a when intercepting attack aircraft groups, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The coalition air defense commander immediately made adjustments, and transferred four F-22a from the second line to circle the front of the J-10a aircraft group at a faster speed to intercept the fighter jets.

At this time, the second batch of fighter jets following J-had had entered North Korean airspace.

The early warning aircraft determines that it is a twelve j-11b, but it is impossible to determine whether these fighters are performing attack missions or air combat missions.

Because the flight altitude of the j-11b aircraft group is less than 500 meters, the commanders on the early warning aircraft judged it as the attack aircraft group.

Is it an attack aircraft group?

The US air defense commander doesn't think so.

Although j-11b developed from Su-27sk and is a typical air superiority fighter, compared with j-11 and j-11a, j-11b has more obvious improvements, and its ground strike capability is very strong, no worse than su-30mk2. After j-11b was put into service, it was first provided to the naval aviation, which is enough to prove that this is a multi-purpose fighter similar to the f-15e and focuses on ground/sea strike capability.

In the previous battles, the coalition forces were deceived.

In an air battle on the morning of July 31, eight low-flying j-11bs cleverly ambushed the f-15c group that came to intercept, and shot down five f-15cs in less than five minutes. If the f-22a had not arrived in time, the remaining three f-15cs would have been doomed.

This air battle made the coalition realize that the attack aircraft that fly low is not necessarily the ones that fly low.

Is there any difference this time?

There is a clear intelligence to prove that the volunteers will bomb the transport fleet entering Yongxing Bay, delaying the coalition's offensive operations in Pyongyang and Shuncheon.

Are the second batch of air superiority fighters that seize air supremacy?

After a moment of hesitation, the coalition air defense commander invested the second batch of air defense fighter jets.

The eight f-15cs that had just arrived took the lead and four f-22a behind the hall, facing the twelve j-11bs with air bullets.

At this point, the coalition forces have deployed twenty f-15cs and eight f-22a.

Although I was prepared for a long time, due to the restrictions on the deployment site, the coalition's air combat aircraft were not many. Because the F-22a was deployed in Japan's air force base, it could only invest at most twenty aircraft, and eight cover early warning aircraft groups had to be left behind. The F-15c was deployed in South Korea, so it could use about sixty aircraft to eliminate the twelve aircraft on the western front and forty-eight aircraft on the eastern front. However, half of these fighters were on the ground.

In other words, there are only four f-22a and four f-15c in the air.

The coalition forces have urgently dispatched twelve F-15cs, and more than a dozen F-15cs can take off within fifteen minutes, but these fighters can only arrive after half a time.

It is not that the fighter planes fly slowly, but that it is the deployment of the coalition forces.

The f-15c is a typical air-optimal fighter, which almost does not undertake ground strike missions. When carrying four Aim-120c, four Aim-9x and three large secondary fuel tanks, it can patrol four and a half xiǎo from 500 kilometers away. Compared with the fighter aircraft that perform strike missions, especially the F-16 and F-15c, the range is large enough, so the coalition forces deployed the F-15c in southern South Korea and tried to stay away from the front line as much as possible.

A lot of things can happen half a day.

j-The third group of aircraft entered North Korean airspace.

This time it is not an air-optimal fighter, but more than twenty FBC-1 fighter bombers.

Because these fighter jets flew from the Liaodong Peninsula, the US air commander immediately concluded that they were FBC-1c of the Navy Aviation Corps.

HNA's FBC-1c is basically no different from the Air Force's FBC-1c, but it only enhances its ability to strike against the sea.

The target of the Volunteer Army is the transport fleet in Yongxing Bay, and HNA's fighter jets are more suitable.

The coalition air defense commander immediately sounded the red alarm, allowing the last eight air defense fighters to enter the battle and intercept the fighter bombers approaching Yuanshan.

This time, f-22a is the first.

Although the FBC-1c is called "fighterbomber" and has certain air combat capabilities, during combat use, no one will regard this maximum take-off weight of more than 28 tons, and only equipped with two maximum thrust less than 9,000 kilograms. The aerodynamic layout is completely unsuitable for air combat aircraft as fighters.

The air combat capability of fbc-1c is not very good, and even a second-generation aircraft like the f-4 "Ghost".

What cannot be ignored is its powerful ground/sea strike capability.

Without considering the combat radius, the FBC-1C can carry four C-803 anti-ship missiles with a range of more than 300 kilometers and two fighting missiles for self-defense.

More than twenty FBC-1cs can launch more than eighty anti-ship missiles at a time.

Not to mention the transport fleet, even the aircraft carrier battle group is difficult to resist.

Including the C-803's strike ability, this fleet will definitely make the fleet that has just entered Yongxing Bay bury it in the sea.

Compared with the previous generation of c-802, c-803 not only more than doubled its range, but also could penetrate supersonically at the end of the flight.

Even if you fly at a low altitude and fly at a super low altitude, the range of C-803 is more than 150 kilometers.

In other words, the FBC-1c aircraft group does not need to enter the coalition's advantageous airspace, and can launch anti-ship missiles near Longlin on the south side of the river border.

Intercepting missiles is definitely much more difficult than intercepting fighter jets.

To intercept anti-ship missiles, twice the number of air defense missiles is required. The two sets of thaads have only more than 100 missiles. If all air defense missiles are used up at this time and the second attack is encountered, the theater air defense system will become a decoration. The Volunteer Army already knows that the coalition forces have deployed thaads in Yuanshan and will definitely carry out air defense suppression.

Unless otherwise absolutely, you cannot put the burden on the air defense system.

F-22a doesn't have so many concerns when dealing with fighter bombers.

Under normal circumstances, the FBC-1c will not carry medium-range air-to-air missiles. The close-range fighting ability is very bad. Moreover, it cannot maneuver violently when loading anti-ship missiles, so it cannot avoid the medium-range air-to-air missiles launched by air defense fighters. Even if these FBC-1cs carry medium-range air-to-air missiles, the pulse Doppler radar with backward energy is difficult to detect the F-22a, let alone fight the F-22a.

The four f-22a have twenty-four aim-120d, which is enough to intercept twelve fbc-1cs.

Including the sixteen aim-120d on four f-15cs, it can intercept twenty fbc-1cs. The remaining few can be dealt with by f-15c with aim-9x.

There is another crucial reason for letting f-22a take the lead: f-22a's acceleration xing can be much better than f-15c.

The purpose of intercepting FBC-1c is not to shoot it down, but to prevent it from launching anti-ship missiles.

The key is whether the FBC-1c can shoot down before it launches an anti-ship guide.

At this time, the speed of air defense fighter jets becomes crucial.

When fighting against the first two batches of fighter jets, the f-22a was already ahead and the distance from the f-15c was shortened to twenty kilometers. With its excellent acceleration energy, the f-22a quickly surpassed the f-15c.
