Above the sky, eight ‘Super Tucano’ fighters are flying from Mexico to Cuba in broad daylight. Lieutenant Colonel Yi Xiu stared at the navigation information displayed on the airborne avionics in silence. Although there was no satellite navigation, inertial navigation was still awesome.
Lieutenant Colonel Yi Xi served in the US military and has more than ten years of experience in driving F-16 fighters. Now in his fifties, he retired for many years before the cataclysm and opened an aviation club in his hometown. He is still an air combat master.
After Enclave decided to interfere with the expansion of Aurora Legion, Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu, who once again joined the army, joined the military system of the Mexican Django regime as an air force consultant. He is responsible for rebuilding and training Mexican pilots how to fight.
The Air Force is a very expensive service. Modern fighters consume several tons of fuel last day. All the military forces in the world have disappeared. The Mexican army is already weak and there are fewer civil aviation talents. After the catastrophe, no qualified pilots can be found.
In order to consume as few resources as possible, the air forces of all forces now only fly propeller fighters. Because whether it is fuel consumption or ground handling, propeller planes are much simpler than jet planes. To this end, Enclave even presented a batch of propellers ‘Super Tucano’ to President Django.
The last night air raid on Havana was the masterpiece of Lieutenant Colonel Yi Xiu. It was proved afterwards that the air raid successfully destroyed more than half of the production capacity of the Havana oil refinery.
However, after repeated air strikes, Lieutenant Colonel Yi Xi ’s fleet lost a lot. Five of the twelve Super Tucanos were lost in the first night raid. Such a high battle loss rate almost completely canceled the entire air raid plan, and caused a lot of damage to the Mexican pilots who were finally trained.
In order to continue the air raid, Lieutenant Colonel Yi Xiu had to replace the Mexican rookie with the veteran of Enclave. The improvement in technical and tactical levels has only contained the high battle damage rate.
And with the increase in the number of battles, Lieutenant Colonel Yi Xiu also figured out some ways-the large number of pilots on the Aurora Legion side are actually rookie, and the pilots with such a fighter are particularly veteran. The losses on Yixiu's side are almost entirely caused by it.
Lieutenant Colonel Yi Xi decisively canceled the night raid with limited vision, because for the "Super Tucano" where the radar is not powerful enough, visual combat can sometimes take advantage of their numbers and skills.
This has also been verified in the subsequent battles. The powerful pilots of the Aurora Legion team are also limited by the performance of the fighters. They cannot play the tricky and tactical advantages in the one-to-many battle during the day. Do.
In recent days, Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu has led a team to visit Havana every day. His goal today is very clear, "We must blow up the airport in Havana, which should be the Aurora Legion air defense command center. Destroying it should be very helpful for our future operations."
Based on the results of the previous actions, Lieutenant Colonel Yi Xiu was very confident in his action. Aurora Legion has many pilots and many aircraft. But their airspace is full of loopholes, the Air Force is weak, and the most equipped is actually an old-fashioned biplane transport aircraft.
“Aurora Legion should have no effective airborne early warning force. We have to be intercepted five minutes before reaching Havana each time. Their air defense network is estimated to be unable to cover the entire city.
The enemy has too few pilots to stop us. There should be only one group of instructors, and the others are very poor. We need not worry at all. "Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu repeatedly instilled his own tactics into his fleet members before the mission began.
In a simple sentence, staring at the perverted opponent is easy to handle.
Just fly like this, the Iraqi repair fleet flew from Cancun Airport to Havana, and flew to Batano Bay and just entered the land. It stands to reason that the air defense network of Aurora Legion will almost be disturbed at this time, after a few minutes ...
No need to wait a few minutes.
Suddenly a blaze of flames flew from the horizon, striking at three times the speed of sound, and reached Lieutenant Colonel Yi Xiu in the blink of an eye. The lieutenant colonel had not yet figured out what was going on, and his fleet suddenly exploded countless fragments, as if a black cloud exploded, as if shocked by the thunder of the day.
With a loud bang, Lieutenant Colonel Yi Xiu ’s wingman was blown up and down, and the body collapsed, falling down sharply. The two pilots in the fighter had no chance of escaping, and they were finished without humming.
The sudden death scared the experienced Lieutenant Colonel Yi Xiu. He quickly lowered the flying height of the fighter, recalling the scene just before shouting on the radio: "There are anti-aircraft missiles, avoid." /
The entire fleet suddenly looked like a swarm of bees. ‘Super Tucano’ was designed to deal with low-intensity combat. The enemies it usually faces are drug dealers, guerrillas, anti-government armed forces, but it does not include regular troops with professional anti-aircraft missiles.
'Super Tucano' is easier to avoid individual air defense missiles with a narrow attack window by speed, but the missile that was just attacked is thick and large. It is properly a radar-guided medium-range air defense missile. This is not Propeller fighters can deal with it.
"What the hell!" Lieutenant Colonel Yixi regretted that he didn't bring an electronic warfare pod for Mao, and at least could interfere with the opponent's radar-well, it's not that he didn't want to bring it. It is because the propeller fighter's power generation capacity is not enough to bring the electronic warfare pod with large power consumption.
What now? Escape!
The anxious lieutenant colonel Yi Xiu can only let the fleet turn around and flee. He really couldn't figure out where the Aurora Legion came from the air defense missiles-this must have air defense missiles, you brought it out early! The oil refineries were blown up before they were arranged, which in turn was equivalent to pitting Lieutenant Colonel Yi Xiu.
Lieutenant Colonel Yi Xiu did not know that in order to prepare for his fleet, Zhou Qingfeng spent a lot of money to improve the ‘Red Flag-2’ air defense missiles he had obtained.
In order to solve the defect that "Hongqi-2" cannot attack low-altitude targets, Rabbit ’s military industry deliberately upgraded the cm-wave radar of the missile battalion guidance station and hung it on the large UAV in a pod. Use data link for radio command guidance.
In the face of UAV flying at an altitude of 8,000 kilometers, the Iraqi repair fleet flying from the sea was found 200 kilometers away. The people at the UAV remote control station on the ground waited for their opponents to throw themselves in the net and saw that the enemy aircraft entered the 35-kilometer anti-aircraft circle of ‘Red Flag-2’ and immediately launched missiles.
Jiang meritorious service, followed by another.
Liu Meng ’s missile brigade training camp is still not very skilled in equipment, and can only control one missile to fly in the sky at a time. But firing missiles into the sky like this one after another was enough to make the fighter pilots of the Iraqi repair fleet collapse.
I ca n’t beat it. I ca n’t escape. The rumbling missiles appear again in the sky. Pilots who consciously ca n’t escape simply parachuting. This large anti-aircraft missile ca n’t keep up to a dozen or twenty Gs. Can't fly beyond its killing range!
When the sky continued to see downed fighter planes and floating umbrella flowers, Lieutenant Colonel Yi Xiu, who was still fleeing, did not look back and fled desperately. He was puzzled, "How can Aurora Legion have a medium-range air defense missile?"
