Chapter 233

which was far beyond the performance of most similar products in the world today.

Therefore, its detection distance should be 30% farther than the F-22, reaching a detection distance of 400 kilometers for aerial targets.

This was why Lin Yi took action against the enemy from 200 kilometers away.

That was definitely not done randomly.

It was precisely because of being tempered a hundred times that he knew that at this distance, radar systems including the F-22's had become blind,

and simply couldn't discover the Jian-20, which also possessed stealth capabilities.

And just now, Lin Yi hit an F/A-18E fighter jet using the long-range air-to-air missile PL-21 developed by the Dragon Nation,

also known as the Pili-21 missile, which was equivalent to the Bear Nation's R-77 and the Ugly Nation's AIM-120,

both of which carried active radar seekers.

This PL-21 missile was a long-range air-to-air missile independently developed by the Dragon Nation,

designed specifically for the Air Force's 5th-generation fighter jets, used for sniping. Just this point alone had surpassed other military powers in the world except for Russia and the United States, greatly improving our country's aerial defense capability.

The maximum range was 400KM, enough to snipe all targets from a long distance and conduct beyond-visual-range combat.

Additionally, the Jian-20's original main weapon bay only possessed six pylons, capable of carrying 6 missiles,

and besides the weapon bay, there were 4 heavy-duty weapon hardpoints on the wings,

but in actual combat, to ensure stealth capability, they generally wouldn't be loaded.

This meant that in actual situations, the Jian-20 could conduct 6 attacks.

However, the fighter jet Lin Yi was in could automatically replenish ammunition through the system's weapon catalog after being exhausted.

Unless his money ran out, otherwise he possessed the ability for infinite combat.

At this moment, although the Ugly Nation lost an F/A-18E fighter jet, the battlefield was so chaotic.

Many people also thought this fighter jet had been hit by the Syrian side's air defense missiles.

After all, during this period, the Syrian side's air defense system had indeed hit many F/A-18E fighter jets.

This wasn't too surprising.

But soon, the Ugly Nation's aircraft carrier combat command center in the Red Sea discovered the problem.

Their combat units were rapidly decreasing.

"My God, I've been locked onto by a missile, I've been..."

The communication cut off abruptly.

"There is an unidentified aircraft attacking us with air-to-air missiles..."

A pilot shouted in terror.

Hearing this, the Ugly Nation's aircraft carrier didn't believe it at all.

Because their E-8 early warning aircraft hadn't discovered any targets.

"I've been locked onto, I've also been locked onto, jamming flares... no!"

Following a burst of noisy static on the communication, the military personnel on the Ugly Nation's aircraft carrier looked at each other, their faces turning pale.

Because they all knew this pilot had likely followed in the footsteps of the pilot just before.

"What exactly is going on?" the aircraft carrier brigadier general roared.

He watched as the images representing carrier-based aircraft on the display screen in the aircraft carrier control center turned red,

and then disappeared.

Although he understood that something must be sniping their aircraft,

he couldn't figure out what it was for a moment.

Even the Ugly Nation's latest model of early warning aircraft couldn't discover the opponent.

However, soon he, like the others, had a guess:

an enemy stealth fighter jet had joined the battlefield, and the opponent possessed beyond-visual-range combat capability.

They could precisely lock onto the Ugly Nation's fighter jets from far away from the battlefield.

Although the aircraft carrier brigadier general actually had this thought in his heart long ago, he didn't want to think that way,

because this meant that a superpower had joined the battle.

After all, there were only a few countries in this world that possessed stealth fighter jets.

Those allies in Europe couldn't possibly help Syria, and besides, with the performance of the F-35 provided by the Ugly Nation, it couldn't be done.

Then, the only ones left were two countries that possessed self-developed and self-manufactured stealth fighter jets.

One of them was the Bear Nation; although in the brigadier general's eyes, the Bear Nation's Su-57 had various flaws,

it was undeniable that this was one of the world's only three stealth fighter jets.

Regardless of performance, if purely confronting F/A-18E fighter jets, there was simply no chance of winning.

Besides this, the only other country that possessed a self-developed and self-manufactured stealth fighter jet was the Dragon Nation.

And the Dragon Nation rarely announced the performance of its weapons.

Until now, the Ugly Nation's intelligence department hadn't been able to fully understand the true performance of this fighter jet.

Although there were various guesses on the internet, some said it surpassed the F-22, and some said it was still a distance away from the F-22.

But because they couldn't get real data, even the Ugly Nation's military couldn't determine how strong this fighter jet was.

For this reason, the military even specially manufactured a model with the exact same appearance as the Jian-20 to conduct research.

Consequently, in the hearts of this Ugly Nation brigadier general and others, they were guessing which country this aircraft that suddenly appeared on the battlefield belonged to!

The Bear Nation? Or the Dragon Nation?
