Chapter 79: The Great War (Part II)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The cockpit of the F14 fighter has been resounded, and there is an endless stream of various prompts, such as the alarm sound of the flight altitude, the alarm sound of being scanned by radar, the prompt sound of the current hostile target, and the sound of the AIM-7 Sparrow missile trying to lock onto the target...... If you don't have professional training, just listening to the sound can make people go crazy.
"Dong Liang, the AG-9 radar switches to mobile air combat mode, I am responsible for the cannon and the fighting Sidewinder missile, and you are responsible for the firing and guidance of the Sparrow missile. Ning Lei's tone was unusually steady.
The AIM-7 Sparrow air-to-air missile is semi-active radar guidance, and it must rely on the on-board radar of the F14 fighter to irradiate hostile targets during the attack.
Countless examples have proved that the efficiency and effect of manned semi-automatic equipment in completing complex operations are far greater than that of unmanned fully automatic equipment, otherwise intelligent machinery will fly all over the sky.
Take the simplest household automatic vacuum cleaner as an example, even in the second decade of the new century when the IC industry is extremely high, the kind of intelligent vacuum disc that runs around the ground and climbs stairs and is unmanaged is not as clean as humans holding the vacuum handle for 1o minutes after all.
The AG-9 radar can automatically intercept targets at close range in maneuvering air combat mode, and when maneuvering with large overloads, the radar can also ensure that the intercepted targets are not lost within a certain sector pointed by the nose.
After the maneuver mode is activated, the central processing unit of the F14 fighter will analyze and process the degree, distance, angle and altitude of the hostile target intercepted by the AG-9 radar, and finally give a simple enemy situation map and threat map on the flat display in front of the pilot, for the reference and decision of the fighter pilot, it can be said that this set of things is the most critical use of the F14 fighter plane display.
The perception of the air situation has always been the decisive factor in air combat, otherwise only the pointer display of the instrument will be turned into a digital display on the flat display, and the head-up display will not be hailed as a revolutionary change in air combat and become one of the prominent labels of the third-generation aircraft.
In the design of the F14 fighter, the pilot in the front seat in addition to flying the aircraft. It can be said that in the fight, Ning Lei is only responsible for the tactical part, piloting the plane well, and staring at the most threatening target, Haibian, while the strategic part - the air situation perception of the entire battlefield. The radar officer in the back seat is in charge.
"Cave. Azimuth 165, enemy aircraft pointing 33o, degree Mach 1.1, altitude 48oo. 37 km away and this guy is the closest to us. Qiao Pengfei synthesized the news fed back by the AG-9 radar in front of him to provide Ning Lei with a judgment of the situation in the airspace.
"Roger, let's have a little somersault first. Ning Lei pushed the steering stick and leaned towards the MiG-23 closest to him.
"Turn right. I'll give you pointing, turn right 4o degrees. ”
"Dong Yu, that guy is flat, he's doing a dodge maneuver, beautiful, he's getting farther away from the original formation, I'm trying to lock on to him, keep turning right, let's continue to turn right. ”
The distance of more than 3o kilometers is completely outside the line of sight. The cockpit of the F14 tandem layout allows Ning Lei to rely on the radar officer in the back seat to get the latest information on the enemy's aircraft, and he can concentrate on controlling the fighters.
"Steady, steady, steady. I've locked him up, I've locked him up, go die. As the short dripping and dripping sound in the cockpit finally became a long tone, Qiao Pengfei pressed the firing button of the AIM-7 Sparrow missile.
The F14 fighter shuddered slightly. A round white line shot straight out from under the belly of the plane, and the AIMA-7 Sparrow missile flew out of a distance of nearly 100 meters. One swooped headlong into the low altitude, leaving behind a winding white track, and at the degree of Mach 4 of the Sparrow missile, the distance of 2o kilometers between the two aircraft only took 15 seconds.
The radar siren in the cockpit of the F14 fighter suddenly sharpened, indicating that the pilot had been locked onto the enemy's fire control radar.
"Hole two, the right side of the 7o degree azimuth azimuth maneuver, I am increasing the frequency of interference. ”
"Roger, right side slew maneuver. Ning Lei opened the afterburner valve on the steering stick to the maximum position, and the two TF-3O-P-414 engines let out a high-pitched howling sound, and the F14 fighter first slammed it lightly, and then rushed forward like a sharp arrow off the string.
When Ning Lei was training in the United States, he was told that after feeling that he was locked by the enemy in a line-of-sight air battle, he must first turn on the afterburner to maximize his degree, and then start to do evasive maneuvers.
The US Navy and Air Force put forward this method of evasion when firing air-to-air missiles head-on, which is completely a copy of the theory of energy maneuvering, and the maneuvering action is done relatively late, and it seems that the risk of being hit is very great, but after the degree is increased, in the subsequent maneuvering action, the degree gradually decreases, and the maneuverability gradually increases, and it is easier to ensure that in the first few seconds of the missile's hit, it makes its own maneuverability past the missile or allows the plane to leave the radar perspective of the missile, so as to play an evasive role.
Seven or eight seconds later, the F14 fighter jet with afterburner began to make a large-angle rotation and circle, and at the same time, the burning infrared jamming chaff was like a blooming firework, throwing down from the plane's route in clusters.
In the eyes of the reef guards on the ground, the three white trails of the air-to-air missiles fired by the three MiG-23 fighters were like three poisonous snakes with their heads raised, meandering from a low altitude to the F14 fighters at a high altitude.
A dull explosion came into the ears of 6 Yonghua, who was holding the handle of the anti-aircraft machine gun and looking up at the sky intently.
6 Yonghua followed the sound and saw that the westernmost MiG-23 fighter had already blossomed in the sky, and the whole plane had split into seven or eight large parts, billowing down from the sky with black smoke and spitting flames.
There was no applause, no cheers, the reef guards on the ground just glanced at the rain of fire pouring down from the sky, and immediately focused their attention on the convergence of the three viper-like white lines.
Suddenly, a white line looked like a drunken man who had drunk too much, and the original straight track suddenly became chaotic, and the white line first drew a few strange zigzags in the sky, and then drew a beautiful figure-8, and finally turned sharply and went straight to the sea level.
As if infected by the air-to-air missile that rushed to the sea level, the track of the other white line also became chaotic, and after a few strange Z-shaped swings, the whole missile suddenly turned into a large two-kicker. The course of the missile changed from a certain inclination angle to flying straight up and down, headless towards the depths of the clear blue sky.
There is another one, although 6 Yonghua can't understand why the trajectory of the two air-to-air missiles suddenly became so weird, but for his own plane that is maneuvering at a large angle at high altitude. It must have been a wonderful thing. Bend, bend, 6 Yonghua looked at the last straight white line and shouted silently in his heart.
Unfortunately, the last remaining missile was unheard. Still pulling the tail smoke straight and crashing into the F14 fighter that evaded in the air.
For a moment, 6 Yonghua thought he had fallen into hell.
When he saw the white line in the sky with teeth and claws overlapping with the F14 fighter being evaded, 6 Yonghua was like falling into a glacier, the blood of the whole person seemed to be coagulated, and the world in front of him seemed to be broken down into a picture. Freeze, freeze, slowly and firmly flip.
The next second will it be a repetition of the picture he just saw, freeze, freeze, and then a cloud of orange-red light suddenly exploded, and countless burning steel fell in the sky, 6 Yonghua felt that he had suffocated.
Time flowed steadily and slowly, and a little white trail emerged from above the tail of the F14. And then quickly moved away, farther and farther away, farther and farther away.
"Long live the Motherland!!" cheers suddenly exploded in the sky above the stilt house, and the soldiers watching the battle on the ground stamped their feet vigorously and waved their submachine guns in their hands. The steel pillars connected to the reef trembled slightly, and a circle of imperceptible ripples spread slowly outward from the roots of the pillars.
"Cave, well done. Qiao Pengfei's voice revealed a hint of joy and relaxation.
The F14 fighter is equipped with A1Q-1OO electronic jamming device and infrared chaff. After successfully jamming the R23 (Note 1) air-to-air missiles fired by two MiG-23 fighters, the remaining one was finally thrown off by Ning Lei using the maneuverability of the F14 fighters.
"Holes. Sit tight, we're going to make a big move. Ning Lei's voice was still calm.
Just now, a MiG-23 fighter was blown up by a sparrow missile launched by Qiao Peng, and the remaining three MiG-23s all started a dodge maneuver after shooting the R23 air-to-air missile. When Ning Lei dodged the air-to-air missiles fired by three MiG-23 fighters, the planes of both sides had already crossed their shoulders.
Following the next step in classic aerial combat, the two sides begin to spin and circle, trying to bite each other's tails and enter a close-quarters combat within visual range.
Ning Lei pulled the control stick in front of him into his arms, and at the same time retracted the throttle of the small engine, the nose of the F14 fighter was raised high, and the flight resistance increased suddenly.
When the nose elevation angle exceeded 7o degrees, Ning Lei pushed the flight control stick back to its original position, and the nose of the fighter plane that was originally flying forward with the nose held high was slapped down, and when the angle of attack was restored to more than 3o degrees, Ning Lei pushed the two tall tails of the F14 fighter, and the fighter began to roll to the right and turn quickly.
If Liang Yuan was also watching the battle on Fiery Cross Reef, he would definitely see that the maneuver that Ning Lei did was very similar to the cobra maneuver that was famous in the world in later generations.
Although the MiG-23 also adopts the layout of the variable swept wing, due to the Soviet Union's electronic industry base, the variable swept wing of the MiG-23 is only available in three angles: 72, 45 and 16.
Generally speaking, there is no problem with using a straight wing during take-off and landing, but the wing is fixed at an angle of about 45 degrees during air combat, resulting in a very mediocre performance of the MiG-23, without flight control capabilities at high angles of attack, large turning radius, and poor maneuverability at medium and low altitudes.
Of course, the pilot can also manually set the sweep angle of the wing according to the situation during the flight, but this will involve a level of complex operation, and the pilots who can complete such complex maneuvers in air combat are only a handful in the entire Soviet Union, and the MiG-23 can only swing the formidable performance in the hands of such pilots.
Thanks to the stepless variable sweep wing, the F14 fighter's low-altitude maneuverability is very prominent, and the F14 fighter beat the F15 to the ground, which is basically the F14 pilot lured the F15 into this airspace.
When Ning Lei steered the F14 fighter to turn course, the MiG-23 was still slowly turning in circles in an attempt to bite the tail of the F14.
Looking at the MiG-23 fighter jet spraying orange flames five kilometers away, just after 1/3 of a turn, Ning Lei turned on the afterburner of the TF-3O-P-414 engine, and after the F14 fighter added more than 1O seconds forward, listening to the long sound of the drop of locking the enemy plane in the cockpit, Ning Lei pressed the firing button continuously, and the two AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles rowed a beautiful track and rushed towards the tail of the MiG-23 fighter with afterburner flames not far away.
6 Yonghua's face was flushed with excitement, watching his fighter not only avoid the three air-to-air missiles, but also used an extremely elegant action to change course in just over 2o seconds, watching two straight white lines leave under the belly of his fighter and fly towards the tail of the MiG-23 not far ahead, even the air combat idiot saw that victory was in front of him.
Must hit, must hit, 6 Yonghua's muttered whispers finally worked, and in less than 1o seconds, two blinding lights emerged from the tail of the two MiG-23s one after another, and two not too dull explosions followed.
The charge of the AIM-9 Sidewinder missile was obviously not enough to disintegrate the MiG-23 fighter in the air, and the two planes emitted thick black smoke and plunged towards the sea level.
The fire flashed near the falling MiG-23 cockpit, and two voices were faintly heard, and two white umbrella flowers quietly bloomed under the blue sky.
"Hole, there's one left ahead, let's not take the bomb home. Ning Lei's voice revealed a rare trace of joy and excitement.
"The hole two received it and are locking on to the target. Qiao Pengfei's voice was also full of ease.
With a long beeping sound, another white line left the belly of the F14 fighter.
6 Yonghua looked at the only remaining MiG-23, and was running in a straight line like crazy, because the afterburner throttle was opened to the extreme, more than half a meter of orange flames came out of the tail nozzle of the MiG-23, and as the distance between the white line and the plane got closer and closer, the wings of the MiG-23 that were originally swept back suddenly stretched, and it became straight in just a few seconds.
At the moment when the White Line and the MiG-23 were about to meet, the MiG plane made an unbelievable move, as if it had suddenly lost power, and plunged headlong into the sea level, and the AIM-7 missile did not hit the MiG's body, but exploded in the air nearby.
After a dazzling fire, a trace of black smoke came out of the tail of the dive-in MiG, and when the smoking MiG dived to a height of less than 100 meters above sea level, it was actually leveled by the pilot.
Ning Lei turned his head to look at the MiG that was emitting black smoke and flying crookedly to the southwest, and shook his head with some regret, the remaining fuel of the F14 was too dangerous, and there were still more than 1ooo kilometers of return waiting for two people in front of him.
"It's a pity. Qiao Pengfei said with some regret.
"Dong Liang, he has to have the life to fly back to Vietnam, otherwise it will still be our record. Ning Lei's voice was full of laughter.
"The fuel is insufficient, and I can't go down to meet my comrades guarding the reef, so I can only say hello like this. Ning Lei said with great regret.
Holding the flight control stick in front of him, Ning Lei pressed the button of the cannon, and after a series of toms, the angle of the F14 fighter's swept wing gradually increased, and in the blink of an eye, it jumped into the clouds in the north.
Note 1: Maozi made this thing very disgusting, radar plus infrared composite guidance, Israel was bitter by this thing back then.
