Changkong Fighter

Chapter 278 Wipe the butt

Guided by the data link, Liu Jun flew towards 076. However, just as he reached an altitude of 17000 meters, he noticed a faint black dot in the sky out of the corner of his eye.

Looking up, he could see that the black dot was outside the EODAS system's field of vision, but his exceptional eyesight and the clear sky allowed him to recognize what it was.

It is a very large, double-delta wing type, which is the J-36, the sixth-generation fighter jet of Tokyo University. However, there was no sound on the RWR and the radar was not turned on. Like the F-22 that launched AIM-120 before, it monitors the battlefield through data link.

This is also one of the tactics of stealth fighters: the radar is not turned on throughout the entire process, and other friendly forces conduct reconnaissance and provide targets. They are only responsible for launching. Once the radar is turned on, it will not only alert the enemy, but also allow the enemy to intercept the radar frequency.

The next time they participate in combat, once the enemy discovers that the radar frequency matches the data frequency obtained from the database, they will know that a stealth fighter is coming. This is why stealth fighters rarely participate in interception or expulsion missions; such missions are usually left to 4-generation fighters.

Liu Jun didn't know when it arrived, but he was certain that the previous air battle had been under its surveillance.

The main reason why they haven't intervened yet is that the initiative on the battlefield is in the hands of Dongda University, and the Flying Shark formation has not fallen into a disadvantageous position.

This is a common practice among superiors; they always keep a trump card up their sleeve to deal with unexpected situations.

Liu Jun shook his wing as a greeting to the J-36 above, and then, after the J-15T picked up speed, he flew at cruising speed toward the sea area where the 076 was located, preparing to land for resupply and switch to another ready-to-go fighter jet to continue the battle.

After the J-15T landed on the deck, the maintenance crew immediately checked its status, and Liu Jun took off again for combat after a short rest.

This method of keeping the fighter jets and the crew constantly working can greatly improve his sortie rate. Of course, the wing commander was also worried about his condition, but after the medic confirmed that the guy was really full of energy, he stopped trying to stop him. Having an SSR with super endurance is so great for a commander!

"Huh? This kid spotted us? He's really cunning."

High in the air, the skinny man observing Liu Jun through the EODAS system said, "They are at an altitude of over 2 meters!"

"Two F-22s were shot down," Eagle said softly.

Memories involuntarily drifted back to more than twenty years ago, and he sighed inwardly. However, they were now extremely powerful, powerful enough to rival alien civilizations. With his thoughts back to the present, Eagle gazed at the sky gradually moving away from the mission airspace and asked, "When will Wuzhen-9 arrive?"

To be honest, even though the University of Tokyo had a contingency plan, they didn't expect the rebels to be able to produce two F-22s. Just those two F-22s were enough to wipe out the air force of a small country!

"They're already on their way, data link disconnected."

With a beep, the data links of the three drones were connected to the J36.

At an altitude of 25000 meters, three drones in a "20" shape, with their rotors spread wide, entered the mission airspace.

After the three WZ9s entered the mission airspace, their engines reduced output and they entered cruise flight mode.

Unlike twin-ducted turbofan engines, which are better suited for low-altitude environments, turbojet engines are more efficient at high altitudes. With an initial overhaul life of 300 hours and a total lifespan of 900 hours, the WP-13 engine emits high-temperature exhaust gases, and its long wings provide significant lift, making it ideal for extended loiter times, up to 35 hours!

As the three WZ9s cruised in the sky, the top satellite array antenna was connected to the data link, and the meter-wave radar in the side windows was turned on and began scanning the surrounding airspace.

Airborne lightweight meter-wave antenna—an active phased array radar existing in the form of a planar slotted array—is operational.

If there are still stealth fighters in the surrounding airspace, then under the search of meter-wave radar, these fifth-generation fighters will have nowhere to hide!
Within the resonant region, when the target size is roughly on the same order of magnitude as the wavelength, regardless of whether it is stealthy, it will become an antenna as a conductor, affecting electromagnetic waves.

The longer the wavelength, the less difference there is in the RCS after entering the resonant region; it is only related to the size. The WZ9 can capture these anomalies.

However, meter-wave radar cannot pinpoint the exact location, which is why three WZ-9 "Twenty" aircraft entered the mission area to search for any other fifth-generation aircraft in the surrounding airspace using triangulation.

The meter-wave radar, invisible to the naked eye, rapidly spreads outwards into the surrounding airspace. At an altitude of 25000 meters, these WZ9 radars are well outside the range of most ground-based air defense missiles, allowing them to safely scan their surroundings.

Suddenly, the radar wave emitted by WZ9 collided with something, causing an anomaly. Other WZ9s adjusted their radar search direction and emitted meter waves in that direction together, and triangulation quickly locked onto its location.

"Something's wrong, there's another one! He turned off his radar and is trying to keep up with Changlong."

The skinny guy, who connected with the three planes using the data, noticed something amiss, and smirked. Times have changed!

Although the opponent is a fifth-generation fighter jet, it has no supporting system behind it. In the face of the current Dongda Air Force, it is just a target!
"This kid's still too green. Let's help him clean up his mess," the eagle said coldly. "Shoot him down!"

The J36's bomb bay opens, revealing rows of PL-15 missiles inside. The three engines not only provide it with powerful thrust and range, but also increase its payload.

A PL-15 missile with a sky-blue paint scheme dropped from its missile bay. After the safety was released, the missile flew toward the stealthy F-22. At the same time, another PL-15A-2 with an infrared seeker also detached from its pylon and flew toward the F-22.

The rocket engines of the two missiles ignited one after the other, and they shot straight at the target like swords released from a bow.

Neither missile's seeker was activated; it was guided entirely by data link, flying towards its target outside the F-22's detection range, and then entering the inertial phase after the power phase.

At that moment, the F-22 pilot only knew that his aircraft had been scanned by radar waves, unaware that a deadly arrow was on its way and that he was determined to avenge his comrades.

Closer still, the pilot selected the AIM-120 in the bomb bay, preparing to deliver a powerful blow to the skies within the no-escape zone.

However, just as he was about to open the bomb bay, the RWR warning device suddenly sounded a piercing alarm. The PL15 had entered the active seeker activation range, and after the seeker was activated, it detected the F22's RCS reflection at close range.

Stealth flight doesn't mean there are no radar echoes at all. The closer the distance, the stronger the echo. In addition, through triangulation positioning, the data link constantly corrects its flight path, and the binary pulse engine ignites again to replenish energy, leaving this F-22 with nowhere to escape!
when!
Immediately, the F-22 pilots abandoned their attack mission, dropped chaff, moved to the 39th parallel, and lowered their altitude!
The goal is to deplete the energy of the incoming missile by accelerating in a dive!
