Changkong Fighter

Chapter 277 The Raptor's Wings Are Broken
Whoosh! The raptor plunged into the clouds, followed closely by the flying shark.

By maneuvering the missile pod, the missile detached from the rack and began to fall downwards. Liu Jun slightly reduced the throttle to prevent it from overshooting due to the dive acceleration. At the same time, he glanced at the weaponry: GSH30-2 cannon, 300 rounds.

Small-diameter missiles are too vulnerable to jamming by flares. After all, they were designed to counter Type 1 missiles, which only have decoys and do not have flares that can autonomously release heat. The integrated seeker does not have a jamming mechanism against flares.

In the end, the problem still has to be solved with machine guns, and the F-22 also has machine guns, which is great. We'll have to compete in the field of machine guns and have a thrilling WVR battle.

Liu Jun remembered that Tom Cruise shot down a Su-57 with an F-14, and now he was going to use this Flying Shark to shoot down this Raptor in front of him.

The moment they entered the cloud layer, Liu Jun lost sight of the other party due to the cloud cover, and IRST was also unable to detect the heat source due to the cloud cover. However, Liu Jun's spatial perception ability was able to firmly lock onto the other party's position.

The pilot was cunning. After entering the cloud layer, he adjusted the aircraft's attitude and activated the speed brakes, preparing to let the unsuspecting Liu Jun take the lead so that he could catch up with the rear hemisphere. Even if he couldn't catch up with the rear hemisphere, he would still make up for some of the lost angle.

As the F-22 dove, it continuously slowed down under controlled speed. The moment it broke through the clouds, it immediately released the safety of its machine gun and searched for any J-15Ts that might be ahead of it. It then found no target in the front hemisphere and immediately turned its head to scan both sides, but still found no target.

where?

Where is the goal?

Immediately, the F-22 pilot felt a sense of panic. The most feared thing in air combat is visually losing the target, because once the target is lost, maneuverability will be put on the defensive.

The pilot immediately maneuvered the fighter jet into an S-shaped maneuver in the air, attempting to use this maneuver to locate the target that had lost visual contact.

Where is it? Where exactly is it?!
The pilot, wearing an oxygen mask, began to breathe heavily, his eyes constantly scanning the radar, but he couldn't find the target at all. As the first fifth-generation fighter jet, the F-22 had technological limitations; its avionics system used an integrated avionics architecture, which was a generation behind the advanced integrated avionics architecture.

However, it was thanks to the fact that it was a first-generation fifth-generation fighter jet that the conglomerate was able to acquire two without anyone noticing, thanks in large part to the help of some specialists.

However, as a fifth-generation fighter jet from 40 years ago, it could not provide the high bandwidth required for infrared and visible light image transmission. Therefore, it was not equipped with the EODAS system, the EOTS system, or a helmet-mounted display. The F-22 was relatively backward in terms of air situational awareness due to the lack of such systems and equipment.

Except for the front hemisphere where radar can be used for target acquisition, other directions can only be identified visually without RWR warning.

Stress! Nothing but stress!
He immediately realized that the other party had likely turned off their radar, which meant that the other party was in his absolute advantageous angle!

Did the other side launch a missile?
Various thoughts kept surfacing in the pilot's mind. He would occasionally release heat decoys behind him as a form of self-comfort, and his forehead gradually became covered with fine sweat.

Liu Jun, watching the F-22's maneuvers from the pilot's blind spot, could sense the F-22's panic and even the slight distortion of its maneuvers.

His current position is diagonally below the enemy's six o'clock position. Unless the enemy also has situational awareness or an EODAS system, it is impossible for them to detect him from this position. The pilot's view is blocked by the aircraft, and he only needs to change direction in accordance with the enemy's maneuvers.

1000
800
As the two sides closed in, Liu Jun waited for a window to shoot down the enemy. He also considered whether to deliberately expose himself and then engage in hand-to-hand combat. This idea was quickly dismissed, as it would be exciting but meaningless. Without knowing whether there were other fifth-generation fighters around, he had to shoot down the enemy as soon as possible.

*Ding!* The cannon safety disengaged. My finger rested on the trigger, my gaze fixed on the F-22, which almost filled the HUD. Its flight attitude was stable, perfect for firing. *Thump! Thump! Thump!*
The GSH30-2 cannon fired, and under the guidance of tracer rounds, a series of shots shot out a line, like a slightly curved whip, which snapped onto the wing of the F-22. The Raptor pilot did not even notice that he had fired.

Click!

The Raptor's wing broke off, and it continued to fly forward for a distance due to inertia. However, due to the imbalance of lift between the left and right wings, the fifth-generation fighter jet instantly plummeted from high altitude like a bird with a broken wing.

This is a machine gun. It doesn't even need to blow up the enemy aircraft. As long as it destroys the aerodynamics of the fighter jet, it will be pulled down by the Earth's gravity. The pilot of this F-22 has no hope of survival. If he tries to eject while the aircraft is constantly spinning, his neck will be broken due to the continuous rotation of the aircraft.

Liu Jun leveled his plane and circled above the crashing F-22, adjusting the bank angle to observe the raptor's descent. He watched it plummet until it finally crashed into the sea with a thud. Tiny water columns rose from the surface as the raptor disappeared beneath the water. Under the sunlight, some oil slicks appeared.

"This is Changkong. Calling Jinbi. Target quantity: 2. Shoot down."

After Liu Jun sent the message, there was silence on the communication channel.

Jinbi was initially worried that he might encounter danger if he went out alone, but while they were fighting against the ground air defense system, Changkong had already taken care of the person who caused the problem.

The entire operational plan took into account that the enemy might have human-made or alien aircraft. The J15T squad carried a standard two-medium-range and two-short-range weapon configuration, as well as precision ground-attack munitions mounted on heavy-load racks.

They were responsible for suppressing the ground forces and providing cover for the US military, while Chang Kong was responsible for dealing with any possible alien spacecraft. So far, no alien spacecraft have appeared, and Liu Jun has shot down two F-22s.

"Gold coins received."

At this moment, he did some mental calculations. This formidable man had already shot down 170 aircraft, including not only three types of alien aircraft, but also MiG-29s and F-22s. Tsk tsk. This is something I can't learn, something I can't learn.

"Out of ammunition, RTB."

Liu Jun glanced at the J15T's ammunition. The GSH30-2 cannon had less than 174 rounds left, and the fuel was almost half used up. It had lost the possibility of continuing to fight and needed to return to the Liaoning for resupply in preparation for the next sortie.

"Command Center received."

"clear."

Liu Jun turned his head to look at the defense line of the Kuril Islands, rolled the fuselage 90°, and gently pulled the stick to make a large-radius turn without losing energy, flying towards the direction of 076.

Looking back at the battle with the F-22, it has to be said that the University of Tokyo has really become stronger. The Raptor that overwhelmed the University of Tokyo 40 years ago is no longer a problem.
