Chapter 299: Cannibalism (3)
I don't know why the Soviets were so crazy, but the most important thing now is to get rid of the P-60 missiles in the back, because the early infrared-guided air-to-air missiles will indeed have the weakness of chasing the sun. But today's weather conditions, with the thickness of the clouds, make it too unlikely that this missile will chase the sun.
You have to choose other methods, the infrared heat source is not only the sun in the sky, the infrared heat source on the ground is also a lot, flying to the ground is a good choice, only really flying at ultra-low altitude on the ground, it is possible to find the opportunity to get rid of it.
Of course, the current situation is that you must first fly to a low altitude, and the flight speed of the missile is much faster than the flight speed of the aircraft, and not all aircraft are SR71, which can fly at a high speed of Mach 3 and directly rely on their own speed to get rid of the missile pursuit.
At this moment, Anwar made a decision: turn on the afterburner, continue to dive towards the ground, and directly lower the plane to an ultra-low altitude. The ultra-low altitude allows the aircraft to hide in the infrared radiation source on the ground, and the chances of avoiding this missile are much greater.
As for the question of saying that the afterburner will greatly increase the amount of infrared radiation now, Anwar has long been indifferent, anyway, the plane is locked by the missile, and whether the afterburner is turned on or not is like that, just that the lock of the missile will be more stable after the afterburner is opened.
But these are not problems, and now there is no plan to start maneuvering to get rid of this missile, only when it reaches an ultra-low altitude to talk about other things, and then turn off the afterburner at an ultra-low altitude, the probability of success will be even greater.
At the same time as the afterburner, it is necessary to carry out a dive, and the overload must definitely reach the limit of this aircraft. Of course, the overload that Anwar has to bear will not be small, and will he be able to change his dive at ultra-low altitude when the time comes. It will depend on whether Anwar's physical fitness can survive to that time.
Of course, the overload of manned aerial vehicles cannot be compared with unmanned aerial vehicles such as air-to-air missiles, no matter how large the overload maneuver Anwar makes. The P-60 missile can be easily faced, isn't it just a dive?
The seeker of the P-60 noticed that the infrared heat source of the target plane had suddenly increased, which was a good thing, and then found that the plane was diving downward.
It must not be allowed to escape, the rudder surface is slightly deflected, and with the assistance of the gas rudder, it easily follows Anwar's footsteps and flies towards the ultra-low altitude airspace on the ground.
Not to mention Anwar's situation, Belenkov in the air is also uncomfortable. In the next second that Belenkov launched the missile, Kamal also pressed the missile launch button without hesitation, and the Sidewinder air-to-air missiles under the wings flew out.
The rattlesnake is an endemic snake from North America, and it is extremely venomous, and the cuticle left over from the molting of its tail during action will emit a loud "hiss" sound to warn the other party, which is somewhat similar to the sirens in the Belenkov cockpit.
Rattlesnakes are snakes that can even attack after death because their heads have special organs that use infrared light to sense nearby heat-generating animals. and launch an attack.
Now, the AIM9 air-to-air missile, also named after the Sidewinder, has launched a fatal blow following the infrared heat source of the MiG-23.
Belenkov is well aware of the power of the Sidewinder missile. The P-60 began to maneuver as soon as it was launched, but it was still stared at by the rattlesnake and attacked.
In the face of AIM9 attacks. Belenkov made the opposite of Anwar's, seemingly climbing into the air. It seems that he wants to take advantage of his high-altitude advantage, so what method does Belenkov plan to use. How about getting rid of this deadly rattlesnake?
As Belenkov continued to climb, the plane flew quickly to an altitude of 18,000 meters, where the clouds were no longer there, and even the whole picture of the blue planet could be seen. She is so magnificent and beautiful, at an altitude of 20,000 meters, human beings rely on their own strength to see clearly the planet that gave birth to them.
However, now Belenkov is not in such a good mood, the rattlesnake behind him is getting closer and closer, the most critical moment has finally arrived, and Belenkov's plan has finally surfaced.
Above the clouds, the normal weather was no longer in the radar, and in this bright airspace, the blazing sun shone on the canopy of the MiG-23 piloted by Belenkov.
Belenkov didn't feel dazzling at all when he saw the sun, on the contrary, Belenkov knew that the scorching sun was a well-deserved lifesaver for himself.
Aiming at the sun, Belenkov knew that he had now reached the maximum flight altitude of the MiG-23: 18,500 meters.
Decisively turned off the engine, the R29 engine, which was still working at a high temperature of more than 1,000 degrees, suddenly stopped running, and the original huge infrared heat radiation source disappeared inexplicably, and the rattlesnake said that he was very puzzled.
However, due to the predetermined flight trajectory, it continued to fly towards the MiG-23, and at this critical moment, the unpowered MiG-23 piloted by Belenkov began to fall, and because it was planned in advance, it did not enter a dangerous tailspin.
Instead, it began to slide in a controlled manner, and Belenkov knew that the most exciting moment was coming, and he turned his head and saw the rattlesnake gliding past at high speed from the side, but there was no explosion.
Seeing the rattlesnake continue to fly to the side, Belenkov smiled, followed the rattlesnake's flight trajectory, and the dazzling sunlight hit his eyes, Belenkov understood that this stupid rattlesnake was chasing the sun
When the danger was lifted, the nervous heart finally let go, returned to the normal level, steadily pulled the control stick back, and the landline descended with the nose facing up, and as the plane gradually descended, the time came for the aircraft to increase its thrust.
Due to the poor quality of the engine of the Soviet aircraft, coupled with the violent operation of the Soviet pilots, the engine needs to be restarted many times, and in many cases, after the engine is turned off, it is difficult to meet the conditions for starting the engine again, so the Soviet aircraft designers have a special starting device.
With the flip of the switch and the back-up starter, the engine burst into power again, accelerating to about 500 kilometers and changing to level flight, and now Belenkov can proudly say that he has perfectly avoided the fatal blow of the rattlesnake.
The action of avoiding this fatal blow is called a tail rush, which uses the tail rush action to aim at the sun during the climb. When the engine is turned off in the tail rush, it completes the stealing day, and by the way, it also makes a beautiful tail rush action.
"Alyushin, I've successfully asked the Rattlesnake to get ready, come with me to take out that unruly Pakistani pilot, now that we've shot down one, let's do it simply."
Belenkov is already outraged, and the rules between international pilots must be upheld, and this tacit agreement must not be broken. At this moment, however, he ignores the fact that they are in Pakistani airspace.
At that time, Belenkov had already taken it for granted that the low-altitude plane had been shot down by a missile launched by himself, after all, not everyone had such good technology and luck.
However, was Anwar on the ground really shot down? This is not necessarily, in the face of the pursuers in the rear, Anwar's actions are crude and simple. It seems that this should be more in the style of Soviet pilots, and today this is a change in the style of both sides?
Piloting the plane, Anwar struggled to resist the huge overload, staring at the altimeter, gathering all the strength of his body, ready to react quickly when the critical moment came.
Gradually, the altitude became lower and lower, and finally reached the limit threshold, Anwar used all his strength, the tie rod was leveled, and the overload at this moment was the largest, not only Anwar was about to faint, but the plane was also the largest overload since leaving the factory.
Fortunately, this is a brand-new aircraft, the structure is quite intact, there is no fatigue damage cracks, and it has resisted through this ghost gate and successfully leveled with Anwar. (To be continued......)
