Chapter 613 On the Combat Power of the F Series

Southwestern Canada.

Fourteen sleek F-15s, arranged in a formation of three in front and eleven in the rear, continued their dogfight under the azure sky.

Although they are all F-15s, all produced by McDonnell Douglas (which was acquired by Boeing in 97), and even equipped with the same IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) system.

However, the three aircraft belonging to the Confederate Republic and the eleven belonging to the Union all showed visible differences, both in their tail radars and the missiles they carried.

The main reason for this is the influence of the three systems.

In 03, Sanyuan Heavy Industry launched the J-14 and announced that it would no longer develop and manufacture traditional fighter jets, which subsequently sparked a wave of 'system building' in the aerospace and military industry.

Before a system is established, fighter jets need to compete on radar, stealth, speed, range, ceiling, and missile performance.

With a system in place, fighter jets can cooperate with ground, sea, space, and early warning aircraft to conduct reconnaissance, guide missiles, and strike. Or, my fighter jet can simply be a missile courier. Finding the enemy, locking onto the enemy, guiding missiles, and interfering with the enemy are the tasks of other teams within the system.

In this way, even the cheap 3.5-generation fighters can use the system to take down the expensive 4.5-generation fighters, or even the 5th generation fighters, beyond visual range.

After two years of practical experience.

For example, the 21st West African nation easily defeated the Rafale fighter jet with its first-generation J-11.

For example, the South Seas Joint Fleet, relying on the J-11 series, completely overwhelmed F-15 and F-16 aircraft in Mexico.

Therefore, the Northern Republic, led by the Morgan Group, used arms contractors such as General Dynamics, General Electric, Raytheon, and Grumman, as well as the AI ​​industry that cooperated with the Third Series and the high-precision equipment imported from the Third Series, to carry out a major overhaul of the F-15.

Meanwhile, the Confederate States of America, led by the Brooks family, also modified the F-15 and rebuilt the Maverick and Standard missiles by using arms contractors such as Boeing, Cirrus, Sikorsky, and Lockheed Martin, as well as energy storage devices developed in cooperation with the Third Series and advanced materials imported from the Third Series.

Even now, if we talk about unique features...

The Northern Republic's F-15s have a more advanced AI-assisted system, enabling them to lock onto enemy aircraft faster and more accurately.

The Confederate F-15s possessed greater range, firepower, and anti-jamming capabilities.

This is also the main reason why Southern F-15s were immediately locked onto by Northern F-15s when they entered the northwest region of Canada.

However, locking on is one thing; whether you can attack and whether you can hit the target are two different things.

At least under the current circumstances, neither side dares to fire first.

All we can do is reason with them.

Northern fighter jets: "This is not a place for you. Turn back immediately!"

Southern fighter jets: "Are you crazy? There's an enemy invasion here!"

"Enemies? What a joke! You are the enemies! You must understand that this is the air defense identification zone of the northern air force bases such as Manott, Malmstrom, FE Warren, and Fairchild. You are outsiders. You have violated the NORAD-North American Air Defense Reorganization Agreement and the Cross-Border Management Regulations for Military Aircraft... You are now required to return to base immediately and be subject to investigation by a military court!"

The southern fighter jets did not respond. Instead, they used the high performance brought by the three advanced materials to quickly climb and accelerate, leaving the northern fighter jets that had locked onto them far behind.

Although the northern fighter jets have a more advanced AI-assisted system that can lock onto targets faster and more accurately, they can only intercept and not fire during this standoff. In addition, their own power systems are relatively outdated, which is why 11 northern F-15s failed to stop 3 southern F-15s.

"Interception failed. Initiate attack?"

"Interception failed. Initiate attack?"

Massachusetts.

The Northern Republic's headquarters.

Morgan's representative, Stephen, sat side by side with Massachusetts Governor Romney, watching the intercept footage on a monitor, recorded via satellite and processed through an information enhancement system.

Long ago, the Republican faction was not divided into North and South; their only rivals were the Democratic faction.

After World War II, some capitalists in the Northern Republic took their factories to the South.

Because the South is a stronghold for democratic factions, in order to adapt to the local climate, they have absorbed democratic factions, social conservatism, and religious evangelical conservatism. On issues such as abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, religious freedom, and coercive power, they are more traditional and even directly oppose them.

They strongly advocated for small government, low taxes, free markets, and conservative fiscal policy in order to gain more support from lower and middle-class white people.

Therefore, over the past two decades, Bush has been continuously transferring industries such as manufacturing, aerospace, technology, and energy to Texas, creating a 'small government,' and fighting for more rights for Texas's poor farmers—the rednecks—in order to gain more votes.

As a result, Texas and the surrounding states became strongholds for the Southern Republicans, forcing the Democratic faction to shift westward and rely on finance, services, and media to survive.

The Northern Republican Party, on the other hand, tends to favor a 'moderate commercialization policy and a moderately diverse society' in order to gain more support from business owners, financiers, and swing voters.

Therefore, the Morgan financial group could allow Old Smith to have complete control over finance.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Northern Republicans, the so-called Southern Republicans are actually the new democratic faction created by Nixon, Reagan, and Bush.

The current democratic factions are becoming more and more like republics, or at least subordinate to the Northern Republic (Smith Sr. and Morgan Sr. were subordinate to each other).

Therefore, as the new century began, the contradictions between the Northern and Southern republics gradually intensified.

The reason the two sides haven't directly engaged in combat is simply because the successive wars and the related interests have bound them together.

For example, the invasion of Grenada, the invasion of Panama, the Gulf War, the Somali campaign, the Kosovo campaign, the Afghan campaign, the Iraqi campaign, the Libyan campaign, the Syrian campaign…

Another example is the series of conflicts arising from the competition among the three beauties.

After the three Americans cooperated, and with most battles already over, the Federal Capital, or rather the Republican faction, without external enemies, naturally fell into internal strife once again.

The Southern Republicans, led by George H.W. Bush, hoped to concentrate all of America's resources in Texas, creating a Southern economic belt centered on Texas, radiating across Latin America, and connecting millions of square kilometers of land in the Southern Hemisphere, in order to counter Yu Sanyuan of Shili Camp.

Led by the Morgan financial group, the Northern Republic hoped for global economic and monetary integration, promoted global industrial chains, and expanded the US dollar market. They believed that Bush's "let the South get rich first" ideology seriously infringed upon the rights of the vast majority of North Americans.

Against this backdrop.

When George H.W. Bush withdrew from the next round of the North American governorship election and handed it over to the Democratic Party, which in turn gradually broke away from the control of the Northern Republicans.

Mitt Romney, a leading figure in the Northern Republic, initially sided with the oil tycoon in an attempt to undermine the Southern Republic's energy sector. After the oil tycoon's death, he returned to the Morgan financial group to help the Northern Republic secure the next round of control over North America.

It is against this backdrop.

The Mexican campaign broke out suddenly.

From the perspective of the Northern Republic, this large-scale conflict with the Combined Fleet was actually a result of the Southern Republic, led by Brooks, going so far as to collude with the United States to remove the Northern Republic's control of the army from the South.

It was both a nibbling away at the military strength of the Northern Republic and an expansion of the Southern Republic.

If we trace it back to Morgan Sr. and Welch, both of whom were attacked and remain in comas to this day…

Add to that the airspace dispute in the north that happened today…

The Northern Republic believed that its conflict with the Southern Republic had escalated to a life-or-death struggle.

"Your southerners control Latin America, and we northerners control Canada. Wouldn't it be better if we could live in peace?"

"Why travel thousands of kilometers to the north to stir up trouble?"

Stephen, who tends to be conservative, suddenly felt that he was too conservative, to the point that Old Brooks was taking advantage of him.

Even the very conservative Romney was extremely angry at Brooks's behavior of "eating what he has and eyeing what he doesn't."

Stephen gritted his teeth and said, "Perhaps we can shoot down a few to warn those barbarians in the south."

“Yes, they destroyed billions of dollars worth of our military equipment in Mexico, now it’s time to make them feel the pain.” Romney nodded.

"Related reports were prepared in advance."

"I will contact the democratic faction to publish the news of the F-15 spontaneously combusting, and incidentally push forward the project for the new fighter jet."

···
Northwest Canada. Although the Northern F-15s cannot keep up with the Southern F-15s, there are too many air force bases controlled by the Republican Union or joint US-Canada bases in the Great Lakes region and within Canada.

Therefore, upon receiving the attack order, multiple F-15s from the north were scrambled in succession to the air defense identification zone corresponding to the southern F-15s.

As for the F-16...
In a system war with equal strength, that thing is practically cannon fodder for long-range combat, only there to deplete the enemy's ammunition.

Even stealthy aircraft like the F-117 and the F-22 struggle to participate in system-of-systems warfare.

After all, as long as the radar power is high, there is no such thing as 'stealth'.

Without stealth, these single-engine small machines are like lightweights facing a fully armored, heavy machine in front of a mobile ammunition depot – what can they do?
October 26, 8:28 am.

The seven F-15Cs controlled by the Southern Republic, with the help of the "Hunter System" developed by General Dynamics and Raytheon, and relying on the "Zeus's Word" AI fire control system, supported by millimeter-level data interaction from the NORAD satellite constellation, guided the AIM-120D at a distance of 190 kilometers using radar-communication integration technology, towards the three F-15MAXs controlled by the Northern Republic.

The latter activated the 'Bastion System' developed by Lockheed Martin and Sikorsky as soon as it was locked down. With the help of the three-series graphene energy storage device and Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-234 engine, the F-15MAX increased its continuous overload capacity by 47%.

Then, towing the Mach 3.5 AIM-120D, flying at hypersonic speeds above the clouds, the Republic of the South launched a new Maverick missile made with a three-phase phase change material skin to intercept the AIM-120D.

Almost simultaneously, in retaliation, the southern F-15MAX launched a total of seven Standard-ER air-to-air missiles containing tri-stage explosive particles and tri-stage plastic propellant at the northern F-15C.

next moment.

A Southern F-15MAX suffered an engine failure and stalled in mid-air, and was immediately hit by a Northern AIM-120D missile, resulting in a mid-air explosion.

Followed by.

Seven F-15Cs from the north were hit by hypersonic Standard-ER air-to-air missiles from the south and exploded in mid-air.

The Northern Republic suffered a major loss on its own territory, especially over Canada, and it will not let this go easily.

soon.

More F-15Cs from the north have taken to the skies.

Seeing that things were going badly, the remaining two Southern F-15MAXs hurriedly called for F-22s and F-117s that had followed from the south to provide cover.

Unexpectedly, the latter two were no match for the system. They were hit by the Northern F-15C as soon as they emerged, which allowed the Northern Republic to vent its anger.

With no way out, the two Southern F-15MAXs immediately unleashed their trump card – the EMP developed by Carlyle Group using advanced materials from three systems, mimicking the three systems of graphite electromagnetic bombs, and then changed course to escape to Alaska.

15 seconds later.

The catching-up Northern F-15C squadron was suddenly engulfed in a large burst of blue light.

Then the fighter jet's engine suddenly roared and spewed out a large amount of flames.

Immediately, the fighter jets' instrument panels crackled and popped, and multiple aircraft went out of control on the spot…

"catapult!"

This battle.

The Confederate States of America lost one F-15 Max, which cost $120 million.

The Northern Republic lost nine F-15Cs costing $68 million each, and another six were forced to land in the snow after being hit by EMPs and are awaiting recovery.

After the incident occurred.

Although it is difficult for the general public to obtain relevant information.

However, countries that own Starlink or lease dedicated frequency bands from the Tri-Network were able to witness the live broadcast thanks to the emergency intelligence pushed by the Tri-Network.

Less than five minutes.

Italy first announced that, in order to cope with the increasingly complex international situation, it has decided to increase its military budget for 07 and to purchase 120 J-11 series aircraft.

Old Bu was still in a state of shock, thinking, "Fuck, how dare those barbarians from the north attack me?"

'My God, my F-15MAX is awesome!'

'Should we contact Stephen later and give him a piece of our mind?'

Upon hearing about Italy's military purchase order, Old Bush was even more bewildered.

The Southern F-15MAX demonstrated its formidable power with a kill ratio of 1:9+6.

Shouldn't you buy an F-15MAX?
Italy did not provide an explanation, but instead released a set of images on its official website.

In the South China Sea, a high-performance J-11 fighter jet is positioned close to the USS Ronald Reagan.

In the Strait of Malacca, a high-performance J-11B fighter jet was positioned close to the USS Ronald Reagan.

In the Bering Sea, the high-performance J11B Pro is right up against the ROG missile.

In the Philippine Sea, the J-11B series outmaneuvered the F-14 Tomcat carrier-based aircraft, forcing the F-14 to retire.

In the Gulf of Alaska, the J-11B series outmaneuvered the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, forcing the aircraft to upgrade.

In the African theater, the 21 West African nations used the J-11B to completely suppress forces equipped with F-series fighter jets.

In Aynak…

In Syria…

In Iraq (after the Battle of Iraq ended, someone stole J-11 series fighters to use in the war),

In Mexico…

Referring to the Mexican-American War, the J-11 series could easily defeat three F-15MAX fighters.
The F-15MAX can now easily defeat 10 F-15Cs.

The F-15C has also publicly stated that it can shoot down 20 F-15As.

This means that the J-11 series, in theory, can easily defeat 600 F-15As, or even F-15Bs, which are the main aircraft in service with various countries around the world.

Of course, considering the payload capacity, let's be conservative and say it can easily take down 60 F-15As, right?

In short, the J-11 series is awesome.

If you don't buy now, are you going to wait to fall behind?!
Old Bu: "."

At this time, the news of Japan's entry into Canada was exposed, the three factions condemned Japan for cracking the Chukchi agricultural settlement, and North America dispatched F-15 series fighter jets to patrol Canada.

Countries around the world have confirmed that the Japanese islands have indeed entered Canada.

The news was shocking, but what did it have to do with us?

Especially in Europe, led by Falde, which was first exploited by North America, then by the three major groups, then threatened by the Tijuana Group, and now being exploited by the three major American groups, there was no one who couldn't help but gloat and almost burst out laughing.

The French general manager believed that it would be difficult for North America to extricate itself from the Americas, let alone sow discord between Europe and the United States, and immediately gave Italy a thumbs up.

The German official followed closely behind.

Italy's statement quickly gained the approval of the vast majority of countries around the world.

In a fit of anger, Old Bu decided to give up.

After all, the invasion of Japan into Canada would pose a greater threat to the Northern Republic.

His Southern Republic hasn't even won over Latin America yet, how can he have time to help his rivals?
