Chapter 469 Yun-8 Maritime Patrol Aircraft with Twice a Year
Many years ago, the military industry department used the Y-8 as a platform to change its long-range maritime patrol aircraft. With a maximum range of 4,000 kilometers, the Y-8 maritime patrol aircraft can cover the South China Sea waters, but its technology is quite backward. It only solves the problem or not, and there is only meaning in tactics.
The high-tech series of aircraft are developing rapidly, constantly introducing new products and new models are equipped with troops one after another, but the old aircraft that are still in service have been in service and are even more convenient to use after long-term running-in.
The Hi-Tech No. 33 maritime patrol aircraft is one of the main models responsible for the South China Sea airspace patrol, and is an old face of the HNA troops. Moreover, the old flying people who drive the Hi-Tech No. 33 aircraft often dare to tease the Blue Army's special mixed fleet, which is very skilled and brave. This time the captain was Gao Feiyou, who is a typical pilot.
Gao Feiyou is almost forty years old. He turned out to be a fighter. After being injured in a dangerous situation, he modified the Y-8 maritime patrol aircraft. His flight style still maintained the style of the fighter aircraft when he was running.
As soon as they entered the No. 13 airspace, they received an order to prepare for a confrontation exercise with the Air Force. They cooperated with several ships that simulated the Blue Army, one of which simulated a large surface aircraft ship. The background of the confrontation exercise was no different from the past, but this time Gao Feiyou felt like he was playing it.
It's not about fighting in real life, it means it's closer to actual combat.
To put it bluntly, I used to raise my feet and gesture, but this time I really came in a straightforward way. According to the previous routine, Hi-Tech No. 33 was going to simulate being surrounded by the Blue Army. In fact, there is no need for surface ships to really come out to simulate the Blue Army. Setting up such a pre-engine situation is enough, and the focus is on supporting friendly forces.
But this time it's amazing.
The ships of the Third Fleet that had just completed long-distance combat training happened to be in the No. 13 waters, so they simply joined the confrontation exercise as a simulated Blue Army special mixed fleet. Among them, the large surface-mounted aircraft ship of the simulated Blue Army really took off two batches of four simulated Hornet fighters to encircle the High-Tech 33!
Gaofeiyou dropped altitude to hundreds of meters at the first time, but the low-altitude and low-speed performance of the simulated Hornet fighter is not bad. To be precise, the carrier-based fighter should be a fighter attack aircraft. After adding the edge bar, it achieved excellent low-altitude performance. Four simulated Hornet fighters suppressed the Gaoxin No. 33, forcing Gaofeiyou to continue to lower the altitude and slow down the airspeed to avoid collision accidents.
Unexpectedly, the simulated Blue Army special-mix fleet was so serious. After a brief panic, Gao Feiyou crew fought back and tried all their best to launch a thrilling battle of wits and courage at a low altitude. The bottom line of Hi-Tech No. 33 is that it is absolutely not allowed to enter the 12 nautical miles of our island and reef, but the situation is very critical. You should know that Hi-Tech No. 33 is facing the entire simulated Blue Army special-mix fleet.
High-tech No. 33 is just an old medium-sized turboprop aircraft without any air combat capabilities, the kind that is inspected twice a year.
Since the Blue Army's special mixed fleet is really coming, the Gaofeiyou crew will certainly not be polite to them. When a Blue Army destroyer was about to enter the 12-nautical mile line, Gaofeiyou dived towards the destroyer, like a seabird rushing down, with speed still unchanged. When the distance was five kilometers, the destroyer could not withstand the pressure and hurriedly turned to avoid it. Gaoxin No. 33 flew over the mast of the destroyer.
This move scared the simulated Blues special mixed fleet very much. They did not dare to go beyond the line, but it did not mean that they would let go of Hi-Tech No. 33. They did not dare to fire the first shot, nor could they fire a shot, so they took off four simulated Hornet fighters using non-contact pinch tactics to force the flight altitude and airspeed of Hi-Tech No. 33 to drop to a very dangerous level.
This is an air flight contest with a huge difference in power. From the perspective of flight alone, it is even higher than the requirements of air combat. Air combat seems complicated but is actually simple - you will win if you hit the target. However, such a non-contact confrontation requires the pilots of both sides to defeat the other side without using weapons.
If a real air battle is a boxing competition, then such a non-contact confrontation is a street dance. You obviously want to chop off your opponent with one knife, but you can't contact. You can only vent your anger on yourself and show your movement skills in hopes of scaring your opponent away.
High-tech No. 33 has been pressed to an altitude of fifty meters above the sea surface. This is an extremely dangerous flight altitude. If you are not careful, you will fall into the sea. High-tech No. 33 is like a large truck driving on the edge of a cliff, and the situation is very critical.
If the Hi-Tech No. 33 falls into the sea, then the simulated Blue Army special mixed fleet will say that it is because your skills are not professional enough, and then send a search and rescue team to rescue the pilot, it will be embarrassing.
Gao Feiyou couldn't move. Above him was a simulated Hornet fighter, pressing tightly, with one on both the left and the rear, which looked like guarding the High-Tech 33, but was actually hostage. The space where the Y-8 maritime patrol aircraft, which was much more bulky than the fighter, was slowly compressed. Gao Feiyou could of course squeeze the simulated Hornet fighter away with the big guy of the High-Tech 33, but in the No. 13 airspace without wingman and far away from the mainland, you must be very cautious in using such tactics!
Whoever is afraid of death is that they are all flying planes? They are afraid of embarrassment, and they are even more afraid of not being able to complete the mission.
What did Gao Feiyou crew come out to do? Isn’t it just to protect the sovereign airspace from being violated? If the simulated Blue Army special mixed fleet is allowed to enter the 12 nautical miles of the island and reef, this simulated confrontation drill will be a failure.
"Captain! Here comes!" The co-pilot suddenly pointed at the sky ahead and shouted.
Gao Feiyou suddenly looked up and saw a light gray low-visual eagle fighter jet diving towards him. No, when he saw clearly the position of the air inlet, he realized that it was a friendly force - the air force's su-30mkk!
He still guessed wrongly, and the J-16 came.
"Testing for 16, is it you? I saw you, I will identify the enemy and I will be finished!" Gao Feiyou's confidence increased immediately, and the arrival of his friendly troops in time allowed him to get rid of the situation of fighting alone.
Li Zhan quickly confirmed the enemy and me identification signal and said, "High-tech San San, it's me. I have identified it. You keep your heading high. I will solve the others, and it's over!"
"Haoxin Sansan understands, it's over!" Gao Feiyou breathed a sigh of relief. It was tiring to fight wits and courage with someone else's sports car in a "truck".
Li Zhan had long seen Hi-Tech No. 33. The four turboprop engines, the straight upper single wing and the windshield of the head navigator cabin are so outstanding. The radar signals of the four simulated Hornet fighter jets sandwiched with Hi-Tech No. 33 also appeared on the display screen, and the four small red dots were bright enough.
