Chapter 650 - Offense and Defense

In an air battle, both the enemy and ourselves are in high-speed maneuvers, and hitting the opponent with only aerial cannons is only a probability.

Before machine guns were officially loaded onto aircraft, there were even soldiers mounted under the wings, holding rifles to attack opponents.

In the sky, in order to maintain enough lightness and more flexible maneuverability, a fighter jet cannot be covered with thick and heavy armor like a tank on the ground. Although its attack power is very fierce and it is the nemesis of most combat weapons on the ground, But it is an extreme type of weapon with extremely weak defense. Even just loading a few bullets into key parts will often cause fatal consequences.

But it is not an easy task to hit these bullets.

Before the advent of guided missiles, in order to improve the hit probability, fighter jet manufacturers worked hard to increase the number of machine guns to obtain greater coverage and use large-caliber bullets to increase destructive power.

All in all, it's all about using more ferocious and lethal firepower to kill the opponent with a higher probability.

Although he was skeptical about the words of "No. 13" at first, the pilot "Yuri" from Australia thought about it again. In the first two battles, this "No. 13" did show very fierce and precise aviation. Cannon attack capability.

This opponent doesn't look like a guy from the entry-level rookie group at all.

"My hit rate is about 30%."

"Yuri" also reported his data.

Ordinary fighter pilots are usually only one out of ten. "Yuri's" data is already very good. In the modern missile-winning air combat mode, there are almost not many pilots with extremely excellent aircraft gun attack skills.

If this was not just a friendly match and no live ammunition would be used, the two would not reveal such important combat effectiveness data to each other.

"You go east, I go west, each fly twenty kilometers and then turn around."

After retracting the landing gear, the x-1's aerodynamic force reached a perfect state, and Lin Mo activated the Liubo Tianhua Array.

When he was in the Royal Dragoons of the Slan Empire. The most senior dragon knights warned these new dragon knights that even if it is a weak maggot, they must kill it with all their strength, otherwise it will take advantage of you when you are not paying attention. Get into your ears and eat your brain.

"no problem!"

"Yuri" agreed with this attack distance. Under normal circumstances, the human visual distance in an air battle is ten kilometers. The two fighter jets turned and flew in two different directions.

In the cockpit, the optical mirror array has been firmly locked on "Yuri"'s fighter jet, which uses a high-mounted trapezoidal wing aerodynamic layout. A twin-engine fighter with a binary vector spray tail. Judging from its performance, the combat effectiveness of this fighter, which is similar to the F-22, should be between the fourth-generation and fifth-generation American aircraft.

This "Yuri" may have a military background.

The participants in "Abyss Nirvana" are not as pure as the previous ones. Originally they were all military fighter pilots, but now they are a mixed bag.

Mainly due to the development of the world economy, the originally very high technical level has spread to the civilian class, and some important components are no longer banned. Some well-fed wealthy people or sponsored enthusiasts.

The distance of 20 kilometers is approaching in the blink of an eye. The performance of the X-1 forward-swept wing fighter in the four elements of air combat (height, speed, maneuverability, and firepower) is almost as good as that of the fifth-generation fighter, with the assistance of the golden dragon. The performance has been directly upgraded to the high-end of the fifth-generation machine, firmly surpassing "Yuri"'s car.

What's more, Lin Mo also owns a J-18 "Red Eagle" that is very similar in appearance to the F-22 "Raptor" and also has actual combat experience with the F-22 "Raptor".

The "Yuri" model hit Lin Mo's hand. I don't know if he was lucky or unlucky.

The x-1 forward-swept wing fighter unexpectedly quickly performed a Herbst reversal maneuver, turned its nose and flew back. The two reconnaissance aircraft specially arranged by the organizer of "Abyss Nirvana" turned back to the screen, x-1 His extremely flexible posture made the spectators burst into warm applause involuntarily.

It was so nimble, as if it had been given life by the pilot, like an extremely nimble swallow, turning around with incomparable agility.

If there is a fighter jet at this time using the most common tail pursuit tactics. Maybe you will have to suffer a big loss.

Seeing this scene, combined with the previous broadcast video of the forward-swept wing fighter X-1, many fighter manufacturers are once again enthusiastic about the forward-swept wing technology that has been unable to overcome.

Yes, as long as they overcome fatal flaws such as structural divergence, they can fully utilize the advantages of forward-swept wing technology.

Lin Mo didn't know how much attention he had attracted with this forward-swept wing fighter with "evil" pedigree, even though he was still accumulating points in the lowest level of the junior rookie group. However, the outside world's attention to him is no less important than the attention of those guys in the high-level pilot group.

"Radar?! Why is there no response? Where did this guy go?"

"Yuri", who also turned the nose of the aircraft, was shocked to find that there was no response on his radar. Looking at the sky again, the opponent did not appear within the visual distance of his naked eyes.

Anyone who can fly an airplane would have extraordinary eyesight, but the forward-swept wing fighter seemed to have disappeared into the sky.

"No matter what, it won't do to reveal the trump card in advance. Let's see how my optical synthetic aperture reconnaissance system does."

The other party's stealth technology exceeded his imagination. "Yuri" gritted his teeth and pressed a few times on the large touch LCD screen on the operation panel, and manually entered the parameters. Then he heard a long-spaced beeping sound in the cockpit. .

Although this reconnaissance mode has high accuracy and strong anti-interference ability, it has the disadvantages of high energy consumption and huge computational workload. There is no good core, which means that the number can only be used to pile up.

The military client "Yuri" from Australia and the sponsors behind it were not able to obtain the high-performance "central" CPU customized by Motorola for the US Air Force.

Although it is possible to scan fighter jets that use stealth aerodynamic layout and stealth paint, the search efficiency is extremely low. "Yuri" raised his ears and listened carefully, as if it was beeping like a sonar. As long as it made a rapid sound, It means the target has been found.

Just as "Yuri" was struggling to search for the X-1 forward-swept wing fighter.

Lin Mo, however, had already entered an attack stance, flying a scissor line with a large radius.

The scissor-like large spiral flight trajectory has extremely high tactical significance in combat. It is one of the best air combat techniques for defensive counterattacks and one of the most frequently used air combat techniques.

No one knew that Lin Mo's cockpit was filled with the incredible existence of light mirror technology.

The gold-plated cockpit cover effectively blocked outside eyes, and even the reconnaissance plane of the organizer of "Abyss Nirvana" could not discover the mystery in the X-1 cockpit.

"Show up quickly, show up quickly!"

"Yuri" muttered in a low voice, eyes widened, like a humanoid phased array controlled radar, trying his best to look into the distance, not completely relying on the airborne reconnaissance system, hoping to find the opponent's location as soon as possible.

He had seen Lin Mo's first two battles, and they all had a common feature. Before the opponent discovered Lin Mo, Lin Mo's X-1 forward-swept wing fighter took the lead in launching tactical maneuvers, and always seized the most advantageous position. s position.

"Yuri" didn't dare to be too careless, although he, like the organizer, didn't know what kind of magical equipment the X-1 forward-swept wing fighter had that could detect such a long distance. If a rookie-level opponent is defeated, I'm afraid the Australian military will also doubt its ability.

That would be a huge loss of face.

Suddenly, an alarm sound threatening the warning system sounded in the cabin.

"Locked? How is that possible?"

The piercing chirping of the buzzer made "Yuri" suddenly widen his eyes. It was almost a conditioned reflex to push the stick. The fighter immediately deviated from the original route, rolled all the way to evade maneuvers, and avoided the opponent's lock.

"so close!"

"Yuri" can only use the word "frightened" to describe his mood now. He did not express too much emotion at how the other party quietly touched his side, but continued to make various evasive maneuvers.

This "No. 13" is like an insidious assassin. You must not give him a chance, otherwise he will be doomed.

This guy must be a loner.

Although it was his first time fighting against this "No. 13", "Yuri" for some reason directly made such a conclusion in his mind.

"You want to run away?! That's not possible!" Lin Mo still maintained the communication channel link with "Yuri" and didn't mind at all that his voice appeared in the other party's cockpit.

"Where is it? Six o'clock? Damn it, you cunning guy, you have the ability to hide in the blind spot of my vision and come out to duel with me."

"Yuri"'s eyes turned red. He was completely different from the gentle and polite boy next door on the ground. He had devoted himself wholeheartedly to this battle.

"No, this is the Sky Knight's battle, that's it."

Lin Mo, who struck first, followed closely behind "Yuri". It was not easy to see him with the naked eye.

That's right! He can grasp the position of "Yuri" at the first time through the light mirror technique, and constantly maneuver around to avoid the 120-degree angle in front of the opponent's nose and go around the opponent's tail. This one has the advantage of striking first. The tactics really caught the opponent off guard and made him panic on the spot.

"In that case! Then come!"

"Yuri" suddenly pulled the stick back and opened the speed brake at the same time. The fighter's speed slowed down instantly. In the blink of an eye, a huge black forward-swept wing fighter rushed past his cockpit like a dark cloud.

A perfectly timed Cobra maneuver.

Offensive and defensive shifts!
