.The assault launched by the Chinese Navy Air Force on the night of May 29 rewrites the basic tactics of modern air combat.

Although the Volunteer Army used electromagnetic weapons in air combat in the Second Korean War and achieved very significant results, due to technical conditions, especially the types of electromagnetic weapons, in most air combat, fighter jets are still victims of electromagnetic weapons, rather than users of electromagnetic weapons.

At that time, some people realized that electromagnetic weapons would inevitably completely change the appearance of air combat.

Some technological advances made after the war, such as the emergence of electromagnetic confrontation systems, made many people believe that air combat will still follow existing tactics.

In the battle in the early morning of the 29th, the warring sides also proved with their actions that line-of-sight outer space warfare is still the mainstream.

However, technological progress will inevitably affect tactics and even completely change tactics.

More importantly, for the party who has mastered the technological advantages, if the existing tactics are still effective, they will not be in a hurry to seek new tactics. Especially in actual combat, mature tactics will definitely be more popular with commanders. Only when there is no choice will the commander adopt new tactics.

This phenomenon is very common and has not been uncommon from ancient times to the present.

For example, after the machine gun appeared, the doomsday of the cavalry came, but during World War I, both sides used large-scale cavalry. After the emergence of tanks, trench warfare became history, but before World War II, many countries still placed security on a solid strategic defense line. After the aviation dominated the battlefield, ground forces became secondary combat forces. However, during the entire Cold War, the NATO Group and the Warsaw Pact Group retained a large-scale ground force, and devoted a lot of effort and financial resources to it.

It can be seen that the large-scale use of electromagnetic weapons by the Chinese naval aviation force in air combat was also forced to do so.

If the technology of the j-20 is mature and the output is huge, the naval aviation will definitely not use electromagnetic weapons, but will use the j-20 to launch sneak attacks.

However, the significance of this air battle in the history of modern warfare must not be underestimated.

After crossing the East China Sea Fleet, two J-11 squadrons took the lead. Fighters in the formation took turns to launch electromagnetic rockets detonated by pre-programmed programs in front of the route, opening up an electromagnetic suppression corridor. After traveling more than 100 kilometers, the three J-10 squadrons also did the same.

The assault kicked off.

Although the -767 detected the invading fighter fleet and issued a timely alarm, the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force also took immediate action to allow the twelve F-22s to take off urgently. After all, when preparing to attack the East China Sea Fleet, the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force left room for action. Without affecting the normal takeoff of the attacking fleet, up to twenty-four fighters can be dispatched to perform air defense missions. If necessary, fighters used to perform escort missions can also be drawn. However, when the electromagnetic rockets are detonated every minute, the -767 cannot continuously track the invading fighter jets, and cannot provide accurate guidance information for air defense fighters that take off.

It was not until 8:45, fifteen minutes after the assault operation began, that the air defense combat guide on the -767 suddenly realized that the assault target of the Chinese fighter jet was nothing else, but an early warning aircraft!

Now, the commander of the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force dared not be careless.

Not to mention anything else, even Taro Arakawa was shocked and rushed to the air defense combat command center as soon as possible.

Regardless of whether the f-22 can deal with the invading enemy aircraft, the -767 has no reason to stay. The best choice is to transfer and avoid it quickly.

Now, the heavy responsibility of air defense fell on two -2d.

The problem has also been exposed, that is, the air combat guidance capability of -2d is very limited, and it is impossible to guide the twenty f-22s that have been launched at the same time.

Although air defense fighter jets can be guided to fight through the air defense command center, no one can guarantee unimpeded communication as invading enemy aircraft approaches.

If the communication system is paralyzed, -2d becomes a decoration.

It can be said that the situation was extremely urgent at that time.

Taro Arakawa did not dare to neglect and immediately ordered twelve F-15js to be launched urgently to enhance their air defense capabilities.

However, this decision is not wise, because f-15j does not have electromagnetic confrontation capabilities and will fall when it enters the strike range of the electromagnetic weapon.

He was in a hurry to seek medical treatment, and Taro Arakawa couldn't take care of that much.

In his opinion, electromagnetic weapons will also have an impact on Chinese fighter jets, so after the war, Chinese fighter jets will not use electromagnetic weapons.

Obviously, this judgment is very wrong.

At that time, the only correct decision made by the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force was to immediately evade the -767 to the east. Because Chinese fighter jets were still more than 200 kilometers away, and neither j-11 nor j-10 had supersonic cruise capabilities, as long as the -767 evades in time, they could leave the attack range of Chinese fighter jets.

As a result, this air battle turned into a showdown between fighter jets on both sides.

Just after nine o'clock, eight f-22s who had covered-767 had first encountered a j-11 squadron.

Although these eight F-22s will not crash even if they are installed with strikes, in a harsh electromagnetic environment, the F-22 cannot lock the j-11 with radar, and can only use the optoelectronic system to fight after entering the visual range.

When fighting and air combat, the stealth advantage of the f-22 is gone.

After the battle started, a J-10 squadron immediately stepped forward and entered the battle, and HNA gained a three-to-one advantage.

The fighter jets of the other three squadrons were not affected and continued to approach -767 as originally planned.

However, the situation at this time is not ideal for HNA.

At that time, the strategic electronic reconnaissance aircraft dispatched by HNA could only confirm that the -767 turned to escape at around 8:45, and lost its target before the fighter jets on both sides caught fire.

The reason is that in order to avoid damage to electronic equipment, the -767 turned off the radar.

Although -767 is still in contact with the air defense command center when evading, to grasp the battlefield situation and determine when to return to the battlefield, most of the time it is to receive battlefield information sent by the air defense command center and only occasionally send inquiry signals.

After hundreds of kilometers and being affected by electromagnetic weapons, the electronic reconnaissance plane failed to intercept the short-wave signal sent by -767.

In other words, the assault aircraft group only knows that the -767 is flying eastward, but does not know whether it turns when evading.

In order to increase the chance of catching the -767, the fighter jets of the three squadrons were deployed in parallel and expanded the range of horizontal assault.

Obviously, this won't help in chasing -767.

If three squadrons are formed into columns, they may catch up with -767.

After nine o'clock, the second J-11 squadron encountered the F-22 squadron that took off urgently. After discovering that the opponent had twelve fighter jets, the commander of the J-11 squadron immediately adjusted his tactics and called the J-10 squadron on the left to come for support, and jointly encircled and suppressed Japanese fighter jets.

Now, only one j-10 squadron is still chasing eastward.

At 9:15, the J-10 squadron encountered the F-15j squadron that took off urgently.

Although the battle ended before the battle, the twelve F-15js were shot down by electromagnetic rockets without exception. J-10 did not use combat missiles at all, but due to this, the j-10 aircraft group had to re-form and continued to assault eastward until 9:22.

By this time, the twelve J-10s had run out of electromagnetic rockets.

At that time, the batch of j-10s had arrived over Okinawa and entered Japanese airspace. The -767, which was urgently avoided, was about 100 kilometers east of it.

It can be said that if j-10 carries pl-12d, -767 will be doomed.

Unfortunately, twelve j-10s only carry pl-11 for fighting.

More importantly, after using up all electromagnetic rockets, the j-10 was unable to continue to suppress Japan's air defense system, so it had to evacuate urgently.

Staying over Okinawa will only be shot down by air defense missiles.

At that time, Teng Yaohui had made clear orders that Japanese fighters were not allowed to fight in Japanese airspace, mainly because of the concern that the fighter was shot down and crashed on Japanese territory, which became a proof of Japan's accusation of the invasion of China. Although the pilots would not deliberately care about this order in the fierce battle, when there was no battle, the rational pilot knew why the commander had to restrict the combat areas.

As a result, the twelve j-10s turned to evacuate before firing the last electromagnetic rocket.

Of course, the battle was not over, and the twelve fighters did not return, but participated in the fighting air battle to encircle and suppress the twelve F-22s.

For a moment, the twenty F-22s of the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force must face more than three times the enemy planes.

More importantly, you have to fight with enemy planes.

Although the electromagnetic suppression was over at that time, the F-22 could use fire-controlled radar and -120d, without the advantage of speed, it was impossible to get rid of the entangled Chinese fighter jets, and it was impossible to distance themselves, allowing medium-range air-to-air missiles to exert their power.

The air battle lasted until around 9:40, until the last batch of J-11s had only the return fuel left.

Although the f-22 showed outstanding fighting ability in combat. After all, the f-22 obtained by Japan did not reduce the power system, and when the electromagnetic confrontation system was installed, the optoelectronic equipment was improved, which greatly improved its combat capability at night and under harsh climate conditions. According to the Japanese side, it also admitted that it lost eleven fighters in this battle. However, with less fighting more, the f-22 cannot take advantage of it. According to the battle report released by the Chinese side, accurate information was obtained through the inside line of the US Department of Defense, proving that the Chinese side did not falsely report the results. The Japanese Air Self-Defense Force did lose 18 F-22s, and at least 16 were shot down by Chinese fighters during the battle.

This air combat exchange ratio obviously overshadows the f-22.

You should know that no matter how J-11 is improved, it is only a third-generation fighter. It may be close to the fourth-generation fighter in some performance, but its overall performance is definitely far inferior to that of the fourth-generation fighter. If the F-22's air control capability is not even comparable to that of the third-generation fighter, how can it win the favor of users?

From the perspective of cost-effectiveness, it can better explain the problem.
