Changkong Fighter

Chapter 260 Liu Jun, who is lacking enthusiasm

Swish swish!
Missiles were launched one after another. After leaving their pods, their folded wings unfolded, and with the adjustment of the pulse rockets, they quickly flew toward the locked stealth targets.

After firing 30 missiles, the two Dark Sword drones charged into the formation, tactically infiltrating and cutting through the alien civilization's formation, providing cover for manned aircraft to join the battle later.

Unable to find the target in the visible spectrum, the missile seeker quickly switched its search mode to passive mode via AI, approaching the oncoming Type 2 missile to find the "intersection" between the two.

Several missiles flew in arcs toward their "destined" targets, with two Dark Swords following behind them.

As the missiles approached the stealth targets, the dozen or so Type 2 missiles, finding that their optical camouflage was no longer effective, quickly deactivated their stealth capabilities and opened fire on the incoming missiles with their onboard laser weapons. However, the small-diameter missiles had such small impact surfaces that the laser weapons were inefficient at intercepting them and failed to intercept all of them. In the face-to-face flight, the relative speed between the two sides had reached Mach 4, and the Type 2 missiles only had time to twist their bodies before being hit by the small-diameter missiles.

Boom! The missile exploded, the all-nitrogen anionic salt warhead converting into energy, damaging several Type 2 aircraft and shooting down two. Colorful debris flew in all directions, and two escape pods detached from the falling wreckage and flew away from the battlefield. They hadn't gone far when they were caught up and destroyed by the ghostly Dark Sword drones.

Ok?
Liu Jun observed that the first wave of Dark Sword's attack was not very effective, but it at least reduced the pressure to some extent. After the two Dark Sword drones destroyed the life pods, they made a small-radius turn in the air. Taking advantage of the missiles disrupting the Type 2 formation, they plunged in to cut and divide the enemy's formation, preparing for Liu Jun's next attack.

The black fighter jets cut into the enemy formation one after the other, maintaining high speed at all times. Then Liu Jun realized that the maneuvers of these two drones seemed somewhat familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.
The Dark Sword drone's EODAS system keeps a close eye on alien spacecraft within its field of vision. Once it detects a high heat source reaction from an alien spacecraft, the AI ​​immediately controls multiple control surfaces to perform evasive maneuvers, trying its best to avoid laser weapon attacks, and releases anti-beam decoy flares. Combined with the anti-beam layer, this increases its battlefield survivability.

Then, Liu Jun saw for the first time up close how drones could perform incredible maneuvers.

With the coordination of aerodynamic surfaces throughout its fuselage, the Dark Sword continuously adjusts itself, performing offensive barrel rolls while subtly adjusting its nose direction at each intersection window to fire its cannons at Type 2 targets!
Boom! Boom! Boom! A series of tracer rounds shot through the air in a straight trajectory, striking a Type 2 aircraft. The 30mm cannon, with its improved explosive charge, displayed power far exceeding its caliber. The armor-piercing grenades penetrated the outer shell of the alien spacecraft and exploded inside, damaging its structure.

After successfully eliminating the enemy in several exchanges, the two Dark Sword drones passed each other, performing a "scissor maneuver" in the air, exchanging positions, and like giant scissors, cutting through the enemy formation once again.

Liu Jun's J-15T did not rush into the battlefield from high altitude. Instead, it observed the battlefield through the EODAS system while also using stealth tactics to prevent Type 2 aircraft flying by from not actually rescuing the target but instead looking for an opportunity to ambush him.

The detection range of fighter jet lidar is only in the front hemisphere. The detection capability in the rear hemisphere is filled by the EODAS system. There is no good way to detect Type 2 radars that can shield infrared radiation.

After the first round of saturation attacks, Dark Sword exhausted all its missiles and, in the dogfight, relied solely on its machine guns to engage the alien spacecraft.

A quick scan of the battlefield reveals that there are not many Type 2 units remaining, and a third of them are still wounded.

Feeling that Dark Sword had consumed most of the enemy's "energy," Liu Jun flew over the battlefield, slightly retracted the throttle valve, rolled 180°, pulled up G, and dove down in the air.

The missile pods below the air intakes opened, and small-diameter missiles were assigned targets via the head-mounted targeting system. Two missiles were locked onto each Type 2 aircraft, and then the button was pulled. Half of the missiles in the pods were launched, including two PL-10 missiles that Liu Jun had cunningly concealed.

Almost instantly, missiles rained down like the Buddha's palm, two missiles at a time, each heading towards a Type 2 aircraft, delivering a barrage of fire from a single aircraft.

As fighter jets become more and more advanced, a single aircraft can inflict tremendous damage on the enemy, especially at such advantageous angles. High-energy missiles are launched at low-energy targets, and all Type 2 aircraft that are locked on simply do not have the energy to shake off the incoming missiles.

Powered by the J-15T, the missile reaches a speed of over Mach 3.5 upon launch, and its speed increases further as the rocket engine provides energy and Earth's gravity pulls on it.

For missiles, these enemies trying to outmaneuver the Dark Sword are practically no different from targets.

boom!
boom!
Liu Jun launched the missile without any emotion, while Type 2 also used its aircraft to intercept the missile.

Watching the fireworks rising below, he felt somewhat bored. It didn't evoke any feelings in him; it was like shooting at targets. He couldn't understand these Type 2 pilots—they lacked flying experience and didn't give him the same exhilarating feeling he had when fighting Rupa.

After this round of attacks, Liu Jun rushed to the center of the enemy formation and, together with two Dark Swords, annihilated an enemy force twice his size.

That's right, it's about annihilation. The two drones that used Liu Jun's data were like his clones, and their AI-driven autonomous tactical action capabilities were perfectly matched with his.

Looking at the remaining ammunition in the missile pod, Liu Jun saw that there were only 4 small-diameter missiles left, and 300 rounds left in the GSH-30-2 cannon.

After thinking it over, I decided to save the missiles and use the machine gun to solve the remaining problems, since the missiles have a longer range than the machine guns.

As the J-15T swooped down to bite a Type 2 fighter, Liu Jun noticed that the Type 2 was taking a horizontal evasive maneuver. He pulled back on the stick to reduce the throttle and climb, a climbing maneuver that allowed him to control the J-15T's speed effectively and maintain it in the optimal maneuvering range.

At the highest point of the climb, it rolls 180° and dives downwards, performing a high yo-yo maneuver in the air. At this moment, the Type 2, which is performing a horizontal plate maneuver, appears right inside Liu Jun's forward hemisphere interception envelope.

Ding!
With the cannon safety released, the two barrels of the GSH-30-2 roared, the alternating 30mm cannon fire washing over the enemy from head to toe. Liu Jun didn't even glance at the Type 2 that had been shot down by the cannon, his gaze sweeping over the other enemy aircraft.

Throughout the entire process, thanks to Dark Sword acting as a wingman, he wasn't even attacked by Type 2 lasers. However, both Dark Swords were in poor condition because they were drawing fire.
