At the final moment, Sun Cheng seemed to see the unlucky American fighter jet, with the seat ejected out.
Unfortunately, that guy was too unlucky. The power of four AIM-120 missiles was really impressive. The energy radiation circle formed by almost simultaneous detonation blew Sun Cheng, who had fallen several hundred meters, into a frenzy. It can be imagined how slim his chances of survival were.
However, he quickly lost interest in the other guy. The action of approaching the formation of the US fighter squadron to avoid the four AIM-120 missiles had temporarily saved him, but it put Sun Cheng in a new crisis.
"Whoosh…"
Without Core's reminder, he could clearly capture more than a dozen combat missiles attacking him from all directions through his auditory system.
The AIM-9 Sidewinder combat missile used by the US military is a short-range air-to-air missile that uses infrared guidance. It has greatly improved detection distance and sensitivity, and uses laser fuses to improve the accuracy of the detonation point. It has the ability to engage in close-range combat and can operate in all directions, all heights, and all weather conditions. It is a very formidable missile.
Especially at this moment, the distance between Sun Cheng and the closest US fighter jet that launched the Sidewinder missile was not more than one kilometer. The speed of the Sidewinder missile exceeded 2.5 mach, so once it was launched, it had already flown to a distance of less than 200 meters from him.
Knowing that he was already in a very dangerous situation, Sun Cheng was not too panicked. Compared with the AIM-120 series of air-to-air missiles that could seriously injure him with just two missiles, the explosion unit of the Sidewinder missile was much smaller. His mechanical body's armor strength was much stronger than that of a human fighter jet, so he could withstand two or three missiles at most and only be injured.
Moreover, the Sidewinder missile, which uses infrared guidance, is easily interfered with.
Although he did not equip the infrared interference bomb, Core could also simulate the infrared interference function!
At this moment, Sun Cheng stretched out his left arm and emitted a group after group of infrared radiation waves towards the missiles that were attacking him. After briefly interfering with the flight path of the Sidewinder missile, he immediately summoned the Vulcan Cannon and raised his right arm to aim and madly shoot.
"Boom…"
"Boom…"
The consecutive explosions in the air made Sun Cheng in mid-air like a sailboat in a huge wave, swaying left and right under the angry force of nature.
Just as he was about to fall to the ground, he transformed back into the form of a Grim Reaper drone, suddenly accelerating and rising from the ground. He aimed at an F-16 fighter jet that was chasing him the most fiercely.
After the adjustment by the All Spark, the speed machine gun in Sun Cheng's body had been disassembled back into metal atoms and fused into his mechanical body. The other speed machine gun that was originally on the wing of the drone had been adjusted to the front of the drone according to his idea, making it easier for him to engage in close-range dogfights.
Sun Cheng suddenly made an adjustment when he was less than a hundred meters from the ground, which obviously caught the pilot of the F-16 fighter jet that was chasing him off guard. Although he had sent a cover signal to the nearby wingman and raised the altitude to shoot Sun Cheng with the aircraft cannon, trying to keep a distance from him, he did not expect Sun Cheng's move.
The F-16 fighter jet had good close-range shaking performance in its early years, although it was not as good as the F-15 and F-14, it had few opponents in the world.
But with the development of the times, mid-range and above-range air combat has become one of the development strategies of various air forces, which has led to the increasingly reliance of the new F-16 fighter jets on various air-to-air missiles. Once it is engaged in close range, it will be difficult to handle.
Since the ambush of the US military base by Baricade and Onslaught, Sun Cheng had considered the possibility of fighting against the US military again in the future. Therefore, he had seriously studied relevant countermeasures and had searched a large amount of data from various military experts online, which also gave him a deep understanding of the US military's air power.
"Dadadada…"
The efficiency of close-range dogfighting with the speed machine gun within a distance of less than 100 meters was obviously higher than that of the large-caliber Vulcan Cannon, especially as the weapon had been strengthened by the All Spark. With just one round of close-range shots, it easily penetrated the cockpit glass made of advanced synthetic resin material of the F-16, directly killing the pilot.
"Ooo…"
After the single-seater F-16 fighter jet was shot down, it lost control and crashed directly into a nearby wingman tens of meters away. The violent explosion blew Sun Cheng's mechanical body into a frenzy, but he quickly stabilized it. He then accelerated again, took another round of aircraft cannon shots, and forced another F-16 fighter jet into a close-range dogfight with him.
This was undoubtedly a very good restraint method. He was afraid of the US military's air-to-air missiles being unable to fire, as the probability of accidental injury was very high. At the same time, he could also exert the flexibility of his mechanical body to the extreme.
The bulletproof performance of modern fighter cockpit glass is very poor. Most of them are made of special resin glass that can resist attacks, but when facing human aircraft cannons, they are very helpless, especially Sun Cheng, who is very cunning and specializes in approaching and sniping the driver in the cockpit.
After eliminating four or five F-16 fighters in this way, the US Air Force aviation squadron has completely reacted. They adjusted their flight formation and completely dispersed the original three pairs of planes. No matter how Sun Cheng tried to approach the F-16 fighter, he would be exposed to the barrage of other planes.
In addition, there were actually two clearly the latest models of F-16. When Sun Cheng almost approached them, they suddenly increased their speed to supersonic. It is worth noting that most fighters require a preparation process to accelerate.
Although not as good as the newly equipped F-22, the new model F-16 only maintains a brief supersonic cruise. But relying on the absolute suppression of speed, Sun Cheng's mechanical body was tilted by thousands of bullets in a short time, and more than half of them came from those two latest model F-16 fighters.
Fortunately, the damage caused by human bullets below 40mm caliber to Sun Cheng's mechanical body was minimal. Although relying on the quantity, countless small cracks were left on his mechanical body, he did not suffer a big loss.
Just when they were deadlocked and unable to achieve further results, suddenly, the four F-16s that were besieging him suddenly accelerated and prepared to open the distance between them.
"Are you out of bullets?"
Sun Cheng's eyes lit up. The M61 Vulcan cannon equipped on the US F-16 is the same as the one he is equipped with. However, unlike his Vulcan cannon, which was transformed by the All Spark and can directly absorb energy from his Spark to shoot, the ammunition of the F-16 fighter's Vulcan cannon is only four to five hundred rounds when fully loaded.
He had been waiting for this moment since just now. Now that he saw that the ammunition of the US fighter's Vulcan cannon was exhausted, they tried to pull away and use air-to-air missiles to deal with him again. How could Sun Cheng let them do as they wished.
The Decepticon's mechanical body is far superior in materials to the F-16. Although his fastest speed is not as good as the F-16, he can maintain supersonic cruising state for a long time relying on the strength of his mechanical body.
This means that once the F-16 is close to him, except for the two new models of fighters that can conduct supersonic cruising for a short time, the other old models of F-16 cannot shake him off in a short time.
And during this time, it was enough for Sun Cheng to complete the counterattack.
"Da Da Da..."
Once again, in the form of an unmanned drone, a group of infrared interference rays were emitted to prevent them from approaching and launching several Sidewinder missiles. After accelerating to approach two fighters again, Sun Cheng cruelly revealed the Vulcan cannon under his abdomen and directly swept the two F-16s to explode in mid-air.
Soon, he quickly approached another F-16 nearby and used the rapid-fire machine gun on the nose to directly kill the pilot.
Seeing that they were unable to pose a threat to him, and now being chased by him, the few remaining F-16 fighters quickly reached a consensus and shot all their combat missiles at him, forcing Sun Cheng to stop and deal with them.
After the interference exploded, when Sun Cheng looked over, there were only a few small dots in the sky in the far distance.
