Chapter 456: Generation Gap!
Maupassant is an active ace pilot in Gaul and is at the peak of his life.
This time, it also took on the mission of attacking Umbrella's stealth bomber.
Stealth bomber!
What an iconic prey!
Can only be discovered through special means.
In order to deal with such opponents, the Rafales they fly are equipped with Mica air-to-air missiles, whose range is far inferior to that of Meteor, but whose infrared guidance can be used after the opponent's coating is heated.
This time, their goal was to get close to the enemy and then shoot it down.
But the distance is still far, they are using cruising speed, and when...
Suddenly, their fighter planes all issued warnings one after another that they were being illuminated by radar!
Not long after, they received a call from the command center.
"You've been spotted by Umbrella's radar, damn it! They've even converted an early warning aircraft into a transport plane! It's still more than 900 kilometers away!"
Hearing this, Maupassant was also shocked.
"What? AWACS? Just discovered it?"
In fact, modern air combat is all about seeing who detects the target first, and then whose air-to-air missile has a longer range!
When most top-level air-to-air missiles can reach speeds of over Mach 4, the difficulty of operating fighter jet shows is becoming increasingly greater.
Today's top-level air-to-air missiles can still hit the target even if an aircraft suddenly performs a 9G maneuver.
Now he was discovered while he was still at cruising speed, damn it!
"Damn it, we brought the wrong one! The enemy is actively conducting a radar search, our early warning aircraft should be able to lock on to it..., uh..."
Maupassant sighed as soon as he finished speaking. The distance was so different, there was no point in locking it!
"Now get ready immediately! They have launched ten missiles! I don't know how long their live broadcast has been delayed, but it is likely to arrive soon!"
These words made the Rafale pilots in this formation feel a chill in their hearts and quite angry.
In an air combat where every second counts, you tell me live that you're going to fight me?
Yes, you were delayed, but we didn’t even know that the missile had been launched, and we were able to prepare in advance!
However, at this point, Maupassant immediately and calmly ordered:
"Everyone, spread out, be ready with jammers at all times, change course, fly sideways, and speed up. Launching missiles at this distance is a sign of contempt for us. Everyone, cheer up!"
Many times, if , there is usually not much hope, because the speed of an air-to-air missile far exceeds that of a fighter jet.
The only way to fight back is to rely on the fighter pilot's excellent operation and the use of jamming bombs.
But knowing that the missile was coming so far in advance still provided some room for maneuver.
"Don't treat our Zhenfeng as a soft persimmon!"
Almost as soon as Maupassant gave the order and started flying sideways, they vaguely saw black spots and the tail flames of missiles in the direction of attack.
So fast!
But why do their air-to-air missiles feel a bit big...
However, just as this thought flashed through his mind, Maupassant saw ten missiles that were attacking from the side explode one after another!
No, it should be said disintegration!
Then, a dense swarm of small missiles, like a swarm of bees, came towards us at an even faster speed!
right!
It’s a siege!
What kind of jammers and what a cool operation.
Try to perform some cool moves against this missile that has occupied all the surrounding airspace!!
"Eject jump!"
He used his last bit of strength to say this and ejected from the plane.
The pilot is more important than the plane itself. If this position falls...
But before he could have any idea, he looked at the missile with dilated pupils that turned towards the catapult device!
Kill them all!
Shit!
Boom~Boom~Boom~
A series of brilliant sparks exploded in the air in an instant.
A full-strength Gust Squad was destroyed in an instant...
…
In the cockpit of the Umbrella 747, as the screen went black, the co-pilot shrugged and said to the live broadcast:
"It seems that Hengsan should consider buying aircraft from another company. It is obvious that the Rafale is not very durable and cannot even defeat a cargo plane like ours."
Such words left the audience watching the live broadcast dumbfounded.
Shentemo's cargo plane!
Lock onto enemy aircraft from nearly a thousand kilometers away, and then directly launch air-to-air missiles to shoot them down!
Ten missiles, twelve planes shot down.
120% hit!
"Okay, now, we should enter the main battlefield to support our teammates."
As he spoke, he seemed to be able to feel that their plane was gradually slowing down, and then the other nine 747s appeared in the camera!
The entire aircraft is black, and even a bulky model like the 747 looks quite majestic.
After the formation began, there was a heart-pounding sense of oppression!
If the load capacity of ten "transport planes" is based on the original 747, it would be 230 tons!
Now it depends on how much of Umbrella's modification level can be retained.
This aircraft has the function of an early warning aircraft and can launch ten missiles. I'm afraid it would be good if their bomb load does not increase!
As for interception?
I can kill you from nine hundred kilometers away, there’s no point in intercepting you!
Doesn’t Rafale cost money?
And the most terrifying thing is that after they have used up their ammunition, they can retreat calmly from this reconnaissance distance and will not give the remaining enemy planes any chance to approach.
Its inherent stealth property eliminates the threat of long-range air defense missiles.
Now the reconnaissance range and attack range are still so far, I am the only one who can hit you!
How to play?
How to break it?
In particular, some domestic netizens of a certain age and experience felt a sense of strangeness in their hearts after seeing this phenomenon.
"I have some impression of this feeling..."
"When the F22 came out, our main aircraft was still the Eighth Master..."
"Yes! That's the feeling..."
"The only way to crack it was to use Mr. Bay as a human scout to consume the F22's missiles, and then rely on mobility to fight with machine guns."
"Heh~, now I feel that Zhenfeng is not even as good as Master Eight in front of Umbrella."
“This is the generation gap…”
"Gaul is already very impressive. He found a way to crack the stealth bomber so quickly. I just didn't expect him to have a knife."
"More than 200 tons of ammunition, I wonder if the Gauls can handle it."
"I don't think they've ever fought a battle without air superiority..."
Compared to the sudden sense of joy on the Internet.
The feeling in Gaul was extremely uncomfortable.
Twelve Rafales alone would be a huge loss!
There are less than a hundred of them in total!
And the key is what to do after showing off your skills like this?
Are you really going to risk your life?
impossible!
By analyzing the small shots of Umbrella's live broadcast frame by frame, it can be clearly seen that even the ejection seat was knocked off!
Even the pilots were wiped out!
This loss is even greater than the gust itself!
The training of an excellent pilot is too difficult and takes too long!
The navy is a service that relies on its existing strength, so isn’t the air force the same?
The special recruitment, screening and assessment of pilots can be said to require the mobilization of the entire country.
Even when exchanging prisoners, pilots are the most expensive!
Judging from their live broadcast, ten missiles shot down twelve fighter planes, and that was obviously not the limit.
Now they have ten 747s, and it is impossible to tell how many they have.
I don’t even dare to try!
If we really go there, it will be just like what they said. The worst that can happen is that they will use up all their ammunition and leave, right?
The long-range air defense missiles can't reach it, there is nothing we can do.
"They're live streaming! They've even turned on the radar! Is there no way to lock on to them?"
"It's meaningless. Their radar range is too far. If there is an emergency, they will temporarily disconnect it. Relying on stealth is still useless."
Five thousand foreign soldiers were surrounded and strangled by two hundred people from the opposite side!
Kill them all!
The air superiority, which they thought was their greatest advantage, was given up in the face of ten missiles!
Now heading straight for the main battlefield with unknown ammunition.
what to do?
How to fight...
For a moment, Gaul's front-line commander was at a loss and vaguely felt what Iraq felt during the Gulf War.
With such a generation gap, the blow to morale alone is fatal.
All we have to do is break up the troops...
We must make a decision as soon as possible...
