Chapter 4593 Cobra maneuver

"Fell into a trap!" Zhan Qixiong shouted loudly.

He had fallen into a trap! Originally, he thought that the opponent had no choice but to send out A-6E bombers, and wanted to use air-to-air missiles to counterattack. After all, in a sense, modern fighter air combat has transitioned to beyond visual range.

Long-range missile bombardment. War often ends out of sight. The A-6E bomber has air-to-air missiles and is qualified for air combat in a sense.

Therefore, Zhan Qixiong believed that the other party wanted to fight to the death. However, he did not expect that the other party was just a feint. After firing all the air-to-air missiles in one go to scare away his Su-33, he began to execute the A-

The essential job of the 6E bomber is ground bombing.

"No, return quickly!" the remaining Su-33 exclaimed.

But at this moment, they have been pushed far away by the opponent's air-to-air missiles. At this moment, it is too late to return to rescue them. Especially, the opponent has 6 F-18 escorts. If they want to intercept them in a short time, it is impossible.

possible.

what to do?

"You don't need to worry about us. Encircle Wei and rescue Zhao. If the other side wants to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, then we will go all out!" Zhan Qixiong made a decisive decision and immediately stopped the Su-33's return of aid. It was already too late to return aid at this moment, so he stopped returning aid. "You go and attack."

Their aircraft carrier, sink them!"

"But..."

"Don't worry about us. You have to believe that our anti-aircraft artillery, which comes from Russia, has always had the greatest firepower!" Zhan Qixiong comforted them and said, "I firmly believe that you can take the lead in breaking through their defenses before the other party breaks through our defenses."

Fight with your life! Zhan Qixiong is going to fight with his life. Let's see who has the last laugh. Is it the A-6E that blew up the Fengshen first, or the Su-33 that blew up the opponent first?

What about the two Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers?

"What! You want to compete with us for firepower! Okay, all aircraft carrier guns are aimed at the Su-33. I want these Su-33s to taste the power of our naval guns!" Christian shouted.

Buzz~~~~~~The alarm sounded.

The aircraft carriers on both sides have stopped firing at this moment, and are focusing entirely on the opponent's fighter planes that are about to be attacked by air. Compared with the exchange of gunfire from the aircraft carriers, there is no doubt that the bombing by the aircraft will be more violent, and

It is more difficult to defend. Judging from the current situation, 'G23' has the upper hand.

The A-6E is a standard bomber, while the Su-33 is a full-featured fighter. Compared with the F-18, the most obvious disadvantage of the Su-33 is the backwardness of the electronic monitoring system and radar system, which results in its

The bombing of ground targets was not accurate enough. Therefore, the Fengshen suffered a loss in this bombing.

Zhan Qixiong naturally knew that he was at a disadvantage. However, he had no choice. The current situation gave him no choice. Since the innate weapons and equipment were at a disadvantage, it was up to everyone to work together to make up for it.

"Aim all naval guns at the A-6E in the air! Prepare anti-aircraft missiles!" Zhan Qixiong ordered loudly, "Listen to my command and prepare. Release!"

"Whoosh~~" There were several sounds of anti-aircraft missiles being launched, and the sound of howling missiles piercing the air, heading straight towards the roaring A-6E in the distance.

"Emergency evasion!" - the A-6E commander shouted, facing the missile coming through the air, he made a 'U'-shaped movement for emergency evasion. Of course, this alone still cannot completely evade the missile.

In particular, the bomber itself is not maneuverable enough. It is impossible to avoid air-to-air missiles at close range. Therefore, the A-6E also needs to use jamming bombs to interfere with the missiles of the 'Aeolus'.

A large number of interference bombs were dropped!

Boom! More than ten flame balls flashed in the sky. Half of them were hit by interference bombs, but the other half were missiles that successfully hit the A-6E! After all, bombers like the A-6E are on full alert when facing

Aircraft carrier air defense capabilities. It is impossible to avoid damage. But they also have the consciousness of death. After all, this is war. As long as it is war, people will die.

Although they mercenaries will refuse meaningless sacrifices, it does not mean that they are necessarily afraid of death. If death is inevitable, they will also have the courage to fight with the enemy until the last moment.

In the first wave of attacks, 6 A-6Es were destroyed. There were still 26 A-6Es and 6 escorting F-18s, and at this moment they were close to the attack range.

On the other side, the Su-33 also received the first wave of anti-aircraft fire from the 'G23' Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

"Cobra Maneuver!" - The aircraft enters from a horizontal state, tilts the nose up, reaches an angle of attack of 120 degrees, and then maintains this attitude and altitude to continue horizontal movements. At this time, the speed of the aircraft drops rapidly, and the pilot quickly controls the thrust vector control system.

The canards and horizontal tail are controlled by fly-by-wire to make the aircraft lower its head and level until it exits.

However, the "Cobra Maneuver" is a highly controversial maneuver. It first appeared at the 38th Paris International Aerospace Exhibition in June 1989. The flight performance of the Soviet Su-27 fighter jet caused a stir as soon as it appeared.

The audience present were shocked: At that time, Viktor Bugachev took off and climbed at a large angle. Suddenly, the nose of the Su-27 lifted up and rose higher and higher. Finally, the tail of the plane was in front, and the plane was flying.

With its head behind it, it hovered over Paris with its head raised. After a few seconds, the nose of the plane dropped again and returned to level flight. Because the process was like a cobra raising its head when it is angry, it was vividly called "Cobra"

"Maneuver". Later, in order to commemorate Bugachev, a talented performer, this flying maneuver was also called "Bugachev Maneuver".

Of course, a derivative version of the Cobra maneuver was also developed - the Super Cobra maneuver. Different from the ordinary Cobra maneuver that tilts up 110°~120°, the Super Cobra maneuver uses the tail as the center of the circle, lifts the nose back, and

It spins a complete circle in the air and then enters level flight again. It is more difficult to maneuver than a Cobra. It also places higher demands on the pilot.

However, although the Cobra is very difficult to maneuver, it is extremely advantageous in the air. In air combat, especially in close-range air combat, whoever can bite the tail tightly (that is, follow the fighter in front) basically marks the victory, because

Tail biting means occupying the launch position. Once a fighter aircraft is bitten, it is difficult to get rid of it. Generally, it will use supersonic maneuvers, large-angle maneuvers, etc. to try to get rid of the enemy aircraft. For aircraft such as the Su-27, once its tail is bitten, a Cobra can be used

Maneuver to quickly re-establish the offensive and defensive relationship. Because the Cobra maneuver will significantly reduce the speed of the fighter plane, and the enemy plane cannot slow down quickly and naturally rushes in front of our plane, our plane can attack.

Of course, this set of ultra-difficult air combat maneuvers not only places high demands on pilots, but also on fighter aircraft. So far, in addition to the Su-27, Su-30, Su-35, and Su-35 in the Soviet fighter series,

37 and the MiG-29 of the MiG Design Bureau, only the American F22 can perform such difficult maneuvers. Of course, the Su-33 will also have no problem. Because the Su-33 is an enhanced version of the Su-27

, naturally you can perform the 'cobra maneuver' in the air more skillfully.

"Cobra maneuver!" Christian's eyes widened when he saw this scene from a distance.

Americans are naturally familiar with the 'Cobra maneuver'. Although it was invented by Russia, a fighting nation, air forces around the world are studying this maneuver. After all, although air combat has entered beyond visual range combat, it is beyond visual range.

In long-distance combat, if you encounter fighter aircraft with excellent performance and experienced pilots, it will be easy to avoid the opponent's anti-air missiles.

If one-on-one, the two people start from beyond visual range combat. If the aircraft performance is similar and the pilot experience is similar, then the final result is that the two people enter into a close-range aerial dogfight. This is a number of exercises conducted by the air forces of various countries.

Finally, a conclusion was drawn. Of course, countries are now also developing air-to-air missiles whose braking performance far exceeds that of aircraft. In this way, once the missile locks on the opponent's aircraft, the opponent's aircraft will have no way to avoid it.

"FUCK! How is that possible! Isn't this move only that fighting nation can use! And it's also a super cobra maneuver!" Christian roared in shock.

The Cobra maneuver was invented by the Russians. Although other countries have also learned from it, the final conclusion is that this is a combat maneuver that belongs to a fighting nation. Other nations only have the best talents and the best physical fitness.

, was able to learn and use it just now. But who would have expected that everyone on the 'Wind God' would use this 'Cobra Maneuver', and it is also a Super Cobra Maneuver.

FUCK! This is so perverted! It’s too exaggerated! Are the Chinese more of a fighting nation than the Russians! Christian can’t believe this.

"Whoosh~~~"

With a loud sound breaking through the air, 16 Su-33s escaped the first wave of attacks.

"Bastard, come again!" Christian ordered the attack again.

It was another missile attack. This time, the number of missiles was even greater, with a total of 48 missiles in the air. Each Su-33 faced the threat of three missiles.

"Hehe! Let's see how you dodge this time! One missile is easy to dodge, but there are three!" Christian smiled ferociously.

If it is a one-on-one air battle, the two sides will directly enter a close air battle. But this is different. This is a group battle. If you dodge it, others may not be able to dodge it. And the Su-33 of the 'Aeolus' only

There were 16 left. One fight and one less. He didn't believe it. They could still dodge every time.

"Continuous Cobra maneuver!"——This time, Christian was shocked again.
Chapter completed!
