Because the "KK-6F" did not perform well, the "War-10" pilots did not like the medium-range air-to-air missiles.
As a result, eight "War-10B"s did not carry medium-range air-to-air missiles and each carried four combat missiles.
According to the tactics arranged by Li Tianling, the task of these eight fighters was to engage in dogfighting with the invading enemy aircraft, specifically to deal with the ones that slipped through the net.
Of course, the initial interceptions at long distance were made by the "War-11B" patrolling high in the sky using "KK-12A" and "KK-6F".
However, the real main force was not the 16 fighters deployed forward.
About 150 kilometers behind the fighters, a "Zhi-8C" was using radar to scan the northern airspace and sent the information to the nearby fighters via a data link.
The key was that the battlefield information mainly relied on data link transmission.
