Chapter 299

~6 min read 1,120 words

Soon, the Israeli Air Force pilots discovered that the brains of those politicians at the top were idiotic.

These people actually let them, the air force, assemble and then go to surround others.

Preparing to engage in a "dogfight," that is, close-quarters combat to defeat the opponent's F-22 fighter jet.

However, the pig brains of these high-level officials seemed to still be stuck in the impression of air combat modes from decades ago.

At that time, close-quarters combat between fighter jets was indeed an important combat indicator.

So the maneuverability of the aircraft was particularly important,

and the aircraft at that time were basically equipped with machine guns for close combat.

But with the advancement of technology,

"dogfighting" has increasingly become less of a standard for measuring whether a fighter jet is excellent.

Even, in recent years, Dragon Nation air force instructors asked trainees:

"Why do fighter jets need to dogfight?"

Trainee: "Because I have super-maneuverability."

As a result, the instructor would say: "Wrong! Because you are stupid."

Although this statement is a joke, it to some extent points out the essence of modern air combat.

Air combat will become more and more boring.

Why? Because when the missile range reaches hundreds of kilometers,

as long as the aircraft detected in advance hasn't even seen the enemy aircraft, it will be directly shot down by air-to-air missiles.

Future air combat will focus on

three aspects: reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance, stealth and anti-stealth, and beyond-visual-range combat.

Specifically involving three concrete manifestations: radar, stealth capability, and missile performance.

Therefore, "dogfighting" plays an increasingly smaller role in modern air combat.

Because in the future, no one will let you engage in close-quarters combat.

Either you will be destroyed by others from a long distance, or you will destroy others.

This is also the reason why the Dragon Nation's latest J-20 fighter jet is not equipped with a machine gun.

Because besides affecting stealth capability, it is purely an accumulation.

And the current Israeli Air Force seems to be suffering from attacks by a future air force.

There is simply no ability to fight back at all.

They can only be frequently attacked by missile rain.

However, no matter how they fly, they cannot get close to the opponent.

The opponent seems to be forever outside your line of sight and radar.

And the Israeli fighter jets, whether F-16 or F-15, were blown up like fireworks.

At this moment, they experienced the despair of those Ugly Nation pilots being hunted down over Syria.

In a short time, nearly half of the Israeli army's hundreds of fighter jets had disappeared.

Unable to attack others, and not even knowing where the enemy was,

while they themselves needed to be locked on by missiles, with that hypnotic alarm sound of "di-di-di."

Facing this kind of despair, even if some Israeli pilots held the determination to die before coming.

Finally, there were still some pilots who couldn't take it anymore.

They turned their noses one after another and headed toward the distance at high speed.

Some even didn't want their planes anymore and ejected directly.

After all, in such a chaotic moment, no one would pay attention to whether his plane had a problem.

As long as he could survive, that was better than anything.

These people didn't want to be blown into a pile of powder by missiles.

And more than a hundred kilometers away, Lin Yi looked at the planes fleeing on the F-22 radar display,

and without a word, he accelerated directly.

He chased forward at a speed of Mach 2 or higher.

His code of conduct is: since you want to deal with me, then I cannot let you leave unscathed.

Besides, as long as he keeps this batch of Israel's most elite air force here,

then basically the Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of Middle Eastern countries will be completely gone.

After all, the Israeli army was able to roam the Middle East by relying on its air force.

An Israeli army without an air force is like a toothless tiger.

Although its lingering power might still be there,

but Israel wanting to restore its status as a small hegemon in the Middle East in a short time,

might be out of the question.

In addition, whether Iran, Syria, the Lebanese Hezbollah, or even the neighboring Jordan

will launch a Sixth Middle East War against Israel is unknown.

Consequently, soon, a classic scene of a remake of the air battle over Syria, with one aircraft hunting down a fleet, happened again.

Only this time, the location was the land of Palestine.

However, just as Lin Yi was turning Israeli aircraft into fireworks one after another,

suddenly the alarm of his aircraft rang.

Lin Yi was very surprised that there were still fighter jets threatening him over Palestine.

But soon he discovered two missiles were heading toward him,

moving very fast, and the distance was getting closer and closer.

Since Lin Yi was using the system's "combat simulation" function at this time, even if this fighter jet was destroyed,

he, as the consciousness controller, would not suffer any harm.

However, if that were the case,

this F-22 that cost him millions of dollars to purchase would be completely destroyed, and if he wanted to fight next time, he would have to buy a new one.

Of course, this was a small matter.

For the DWS platform that makes money every day, a mere 5 million dollars is nothing.

But the problem is, if that were really the case,

the image of invincibility in air combat created by the DWS platform would be gone.

After all, if an enemy aircraft really destroyed the platform's fighter jet, it would definitely be widely publicized.

At that time, it would not only boost the morale of the Ugly army and Israel but might also cause a chain reaction.

Therefore, Lin Yi absolutely could not be hit.

Consequently, besides releasing the few decoys equipped on the F-22,

his more than 5,000 hours of air combat experience made him immediately think of a way.

He directly made the aircraft perform a barrel roll,

narrowly avoiding the first missile, which was then interfered with by the decoys and exploded.

However, when facing the second missile, he directly pulled up the nose, and the entire fuselage presented a 90-degree climb.

The missile first missed Lin Yi's aircraft, and then actually made a large arc and chased upward directly.

It was fortunate that the F-22 was prepared with a vector engine, which could make rapid turns at large angles in the air,

and because the opponent's missile was faster, even if it used the same vector technology, its turning angle was larger.
