The air combat beyond visual range, which had been touted by the air forces of countries around the world for decades, finally bore fruit.
However, there were also significant problems.
In this battle report directly submitted by the Wing Captain, the performance of two types of medium-range air-to-air missiles was highlighted, and there was a request to replace the "KK-6" with the "KK-12" as soon as possible.
The reason is, out of 49 victories, the "KK-12" accounted for 42!
The "KK-12" achieved a victory count six times higher than that of the "KK-6"!
More importantly, 12 heavy fighters had only fired 56 "KK-12A" missiles, and the hit rate for a single missile had reached an astonishing 75%.
As for the "KK-6F"?
40 missiles were launched, but only 7 enemy aircraft were shot down, resulting in a hit rate of less than 17%.
The gap between the two types of missiles was so obvious it could be seen at a glance.
