Chapter 1257 Intercept the ground effect aircraft
When the afterburner was turned on, the fighter jet roared and soon broke through the sound barrier. When it reached Mach 1.4, Christopher turned off the afterburner of his fighter jet. With the surging thrust, the fighter jet could maintain supersonic cruise at this speed!
The second stealth aircraft-22 patrolled by the Americans was killed almost in the same time. Now, they left behind a cross-escorted Su-37, and the rest of the fighter planes took the initiative to face the enemy!
Area 51 is mainly responsible for developing various advanced spacecraft, so all kinds of terrible aircraft appearing, and they need to shoot down the other party's aircraft in advance, and it is best to kill them on the runway!
Stealth aircraft is very difficult to detect. Even if you use phased array radar, you will find that the distance of the -22 in the United States will not exceed 50 kilometers. When your sword is not long enough, take another step forward!
The smooth appearance of the Su-37 fighter jet pierced the shock wave formed by sound barriers in the air and flew quickly towards the direction of the US air force base. At the same time, the fighter jets in the US air force base were taking off quickly!
Large target! What is that? Ten is the Soviets' ground-effect aircraft!
After receiving the warning, the base here was already in a state of high alert. Now it is the time to test their dispatch efficiency!
On the main runway, four-15s took off directly in formation!
Among them, the leading long aircraft had just left the runway and climbed upwards, and a laser beam flew over! The leading -15 was beaten to explode in the air!
However, the fighter planes behind them were fearless, and they continued to climb, climb!
There was more than one runway, and on the auxiliary runway next to it, one after another, the -16 also started to increase force and took off quickly! They all had only one goal, protecting their own airspace and guarding the safety of Area 51!
The troops stationed here are the most brainwashed troops. They know how big the secret they are guarding, so they have been prepared for sacrifice long ago!
"Boom!" Another -16 was beaten into a fireball, but the number of fighter planes taking off continued to increase!
Airborne laser weapons are much easier to use than missiles. This is reflected in the concept of discovery, destruction. As long as the target is discovered, the laser weapons can be killed almost without time. The opponent has no chance to respond, and all kinds of maneuvering actions are useless!
However, laser weapons are also limited. After all, the energy consumed by each laser emission is measured in megajoules! Such huge energy can only be stored in the supercapacitor in advance. It is impossible to recharge the capacitor after each discharge. It takes a period of time. For example, even on the Su-37, it takes more than 30 seconds, and if it is used continuously, it takes one minute!
Therefore, when the US Air Force fighter jets took off in large numbers, there were still not enough fleets that came to take off! A group of fighter jets successfully took off and rushed towards the direction of the huge ground-effect aircraft!
Why not send more fighter planes? This is also helpless. After all, stealth aircraft cannot be equipped with thousands of equipment like the MiG-15 before, and the number of ejected and taken off the aircraft carrier is even more limited! The Soviet Union has set up a large game of chess in the United States, and it needs the assistance of stealth aircraft everywhere. But now, it is enough to have Christoph's wing!
Looking at the dashboard in front of him, the laser weapon entered a ready state again. Christopher began to operate the radar and was ready to guide the next target. At this time, the faint echo attracted his attention, which was-22!
"Note that at nine o'clock, there is a fleet of -22, kill them first!" Christoph shouted in the radio, using radar to lock the target and pressed the launch button in front.
A bright laser beam emerged from the weapon bomb bay on the belly of the aircraft and shot directly to the gray low-visual painted-22. In an instant, the plane was blown up!
The other fighter pilots immediately dispersed, avoiding the attack of laser weapons, while stubbornly continuing toward the formation of Soviet ground-effect aircraft.
"Soviets, go to die!" A -15 fighter jet crossed the defense line in a casual manner and fired an Aim-120 missile.
Although the United States is already at a disadvantage, the United States' weapon system is still constantly developing and improving. For example, advanced air-to-air missiles that have been launched after completion have been completed! Five years have passed since this missile was officially launched in 1981. As the Soviets are under increasing pressure, they have finally deployed this missile in advance!
Why don’t you care after launching? Because the US Air Force has realized that if the United States’ own laser weapons are unable to break through for a long time, if their carrier aircraft still launches the Sparrow missile, they will definitely not be able to wait for the continued guidance of the missile until they hit the target, and they will be ruthlessly shot down by the other party in advance!
Therefore, in this case, the US Air Force can only step up research and development. For emergency response, they plan to get the Immortal Bird to -15 and add the radar to the Immortal Bird missile to the radar to guide this huge missile.
Now, the ground-effect aircraft that can approach the Soviets has been sacrificed by countless comrades! The pilot of this -15 fighter jet seized the opportunity and fired out the six Aim-120 missiles he carried in Mad Dog mode in one second!
The ground-effect aircraft is such a huge target, so there is no need for any initial guidance or medium-range guidance, just use the mad dog mode!
Unfortunately, the fight was not finished. When the fight reached the fifth, a dazzling laser beam penetrated the cockpit directly! A charred smell of the body came out, and the plane exploded in the air!
And the missiles fired were flying quickly towards the formation of ground-effect aircraft!
"The target has been locked and launched!" On this side, on the huge ground-effect aircraft, the laser weapon quickly turned, and then, two laser beams were shot out from the nose and fuselage, and the two flying missiles exploded in the air!
The huge size and huge carrying capacity of the ground-effect aircraft make it easier to carry laser weapons! Moreover, it does not carry airborne laser weapons, but directly ship-based ones!
