Chapter 2122: Dense formation

In air combat confrontation, flying dense formations is the most common. This dense formation is just a bright spot on the radar screen and can deceive the opponent.
When it comes to flying dense formations, the current Xiong State flying brigade is the most adept, because one of their usual tasks is to perform air demonstrations. The dense formations they fly are denser and more difficult to identify by radar.
If it is an ordinary dense formation, it is difficult to resist phased array radars. Increase the output power and aim at them with more electromagnetic waves. From the response of the echoes, you can analyze how many of the opponents there are.
But now, after adjusting the power, they found that they still couldn't distinguish it. It was a big target. The target's echo reflection was so strong that there must be more than one aircraft, but it just couldn't distinguish!
The operator on the early warning aircraft was also very annoyed: "Continue to add radiation units!"
"No, if we continue to increase, we will have no extra units to monitor other airspace."
"Their radiation echoes of this size must have caused all the aircraft to fly in a dense formation. Their MiG 31 early warning aircraft should be behind. Therefore, we don’t need to worry for the time being. We must provide the ghost with the clearest data."
Now that the commander insists on this, the radar operators below have also begun to adjust. All the energy radiated by the T/R unit is aimed at the target there. Finally, it can be separated out vaguely. There should be more than one. Shelves, but what about, it’s not clear yet?
"Keep approaching," the radar commander said.
"If you continue to approach, it may be dangerous."
"Don't worry, the ghost is blocking in front, besides, we still have two escorting aircraft." The commander on the early warning aircraft said.
The radar search distance is still limited. If they want to find the MiG 31 behind the opponent, they must continue to fly forward. At the same time, as they approach, the radar beam increases, and the opponent's dense formation can be completely destroyed. Divided into one, our own most advanced early warning aircraft, if you can't even separate the opponent's formation, it would be too funny.
The voice communication method has long been outdated. The data is directly transmitted to the front formation through the data link. At this time, from the side of Chen Rui, Wang Hongwei said: "Ghost, this time the target is a bit strange. Our early warning aircraft are all strange. Inseparable from their dense formation, how close did they fly?"
"They have performed many flight demonstrations." Chen Rui said on the radio: "They can fly up and down one meter, one meter on the left, right and one meter before and after. In this case, our early warning aircraft really cannot distinguish."
Under this kind of spacing, their side projections overlap. Therefore, the radar is really indistinguishable. Chen Rui knows it clearly. However, as long as the opponent can fly over, then I don’t have to worry. Do it hard.
When the distance was 100 kilometers, our side immediately turned on our own radar, and then launched Phoenix missiles, striving to kill them in the first round of long-range firefights. In this way, the battle ended neatly.
"Attention, according to the original plan, it will be divided into two formations." Now, the distance between the two sides has been reduced to 200 kilometers. At this distance, the opponent's radar will definitely not be able to find one's own. At the same time, the opponent's rear The MiG-31 early warning aircraft could not find its own side, so it can fight according to the original plan.
It is nothing to kill the MiG-29 in front. The important thing is to kill the AWACS in the back. This requires that your own formation be separated. Although you only have four fighters, it doesn't matter if you are divided into two dual-aircraft formations.
Wang Hongwei pushed the joystick. He took a wingman and separated. The airspace was actually completely transparent to them. They knew where the other party was, but the other party didn't know where they were.
Go around, go behind the opponent!
"Turn on the electronic pod." Chen Rui continued to shout.
Although there is no special electronic jammer to accompany them, they have an electronic pod under the air inlet pylon. This is enough. After the pod is opened, the other party’s radar will be interfered. In this way, the other party knows about it. It's here, but without knowing the number of one's side, you can cover Wang Hongwei's side attack.
Annihilate them!
Chen Rui watched the two fighter planes separate their formation. Then, there were two fighter planes left on his side. Using two F-11 fighter planes to deal with the opponent's six MiG-29s, it seemed to be a little too big, but Chen Rui didn't care. At the long distance, knock out two with Phoenix, and at the middle distance, use the Pili-11 to kill two more, so that in the final close combat, there are only two left. What's more worried?
"A hundred kilometers away!"
"Turn on the radar!" Chen Rui said to the radar officer in the rear cabin: "Prepare, Phoenix missile!"
In fact, after the Phoenix missile was introduced, a series of imitations have begun in China. However, the starting point for imitation is very high. This kind of missile is outdated. According to Qin Guan’s vision, a range of 100 kilometers is basically Not enough. It needs to reach 200 kilometers or even 300 kilometers. This requires advanced ramjet engines. Therefore, the development of research and development is not fast. Now the Phoenix missile is still used for personal use, and it has not been replaced in China. The missile number is also to fool foreign countries, so that foreign countries think that they are not interested in this kind of long-range missiles, and they will fall down when they run out.
It's a hundred kilometers, and it's time to act with real swords.
The radar officer in the rear compartment skillfully turned on the radar, but at this moment, he discovered something: "Their formation is separated, and a fighter plane is accelerating!"
Is one speeding up? Chen Rui asked: "Is the acceleration fast?"
"Yes, it speeds up very fast, it's still climbing, it, it's not a MiG 29, it's a MiG 31!"
From the very beginning, they determined that this MiG 31 interceptor was used by its powerful radar as an early warning aircraft to command the MiG 29 fighter jet in front of it. However, none of them thought that the MiG 31 was actually It was mixed in the MiG 29 fleet and attacked together. Now, this MiG 31 suddenly came out of the fleet, quickly climbing and accelerating!
It is precisely because of the MiG 31 joining their formation that the radar of one's own early warning aircraft cannot be scanned. Other aircraft can hide next to the MiG 31 to form a large formation!
What is this MiG 31 for? It must be aimed at killing its own early warning aircraft. This is also one of the most important functions of the MiG 31. However, it has its own arrangement behind it. It also has two F-11 fighters to prevent the opponent’s killer moves. .
"Attention, the tactics change, the at the rear intercepts the MiG 31!" Chen Rui shouted.
