In this climbing phase of the race, neither side had the upper hand at the beginning, Anwar's Jianjiao 7A engine was underpowered, and Belenkov's variable sweep wing angle was still in the most unfavorable stage for climbing.

The MiG-23 adopts a variable sweep design, and the mechanism is complex, but the full-height adaptability brought by it is quite strong, and the advantages of the old bird are vividly reflected at this moment.

The MiG-23 is not as advanced as the F14, the F14 can be automatically controlled by the computer, and the sweep angle is automatically controlled in real time according to the flight altitude, so that the sweep angle of the aircraft is always in the most suitable state for flight.

But Belenkov has skillful technology, he can effectively make up for the weakness of the backward technology of the MiG-23, his eyes are fixed on the front and never move, but the work in his hands does not stop.

Quickly toggle each switch, more than 10 buttons pressed in turn, the active mechanism in the wing finally moved, the wing magically began to change the sweep angle, from the beginning of the 18°40′ sweep angle, to 47°40′ sweep angle still did not stop, continued to increase the sweep angle, until the maximum 74°40′, finally reached the maximum sweep angle.

There is no doubt that the cross-section of the aircraft suddenly became smaller and became the standard delta wing layout, which has always had the upper hand in the race for speed. When the sweep angle changed to 74°40′, Belenkov finally smiled, and the war between the aircraft with a delta wing layout was about to begin.

Belenkov's height began to increase, but Anwar's height began to lack stamina because of the lack of strength of the engine.

Oops, the rate of climb began to decrease. If you continue to climb, you will definitely stall, and you must stop climbing now. Recover from scratch.

Although it is not known what is happening to the MiGs on the opposite side, there is a critical moment of friction in the air. It is absolutely impossible to stall into a tailspin state, which will be the situation that delta wing aircraft is most afraid of encountering.

Decisively putting, the climb stopped, the plane finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the moment after changing to level flight, the pointer of the aircraft's speedometer began to stop falling to the left, and began to continue to recover speed.

The afterburner of an aero engine does not work for a long time, and it is time to turn off the afterburner and give the engine a break. It can be expected that the follow-up fierce battle will definitely continue, so that the afterburner can calm down, and maybe save his life later.

The most important thing is that turning off the afterburner can effectively reduce the infrared radiation source of the engine, and it will not be so easy for the P-60 infrared-guided air-to-air missile mounted on the MiG-23 to lock on to Anwar.

After switching to level flight, Anwar turned his head to observe the situation in the rear, and the worst case scenario was naturally the MiG-23 trailing behind his buttocks, of course. If you are lucky, the MiG-23 should still be in progress and turn, which is a maneuver that the MiG-23 must go through if it wants to gain an advantage.

Fortunately, Anwar didn't see the MiG-23 behind him, which was really a big relief, and he turned his head and began to think about the next move. Now that the MiG-23 is not tailgating, it does not mean that this difficult guy will not appear behind the next moment.

Maybe you need to be prepared to avoid it in advance, after all, you are now in a disadvantageous stage

Anwar's calculations were accurate. Belenkov was maneuvering the MiG-23 and preparing to take the nose of the aircraft at the old plane, which looked a lot like the MiG-21. The reason why an old bird is an old bird is that when he does things, he will always consider the next step or even the next step.

opponent a new aircraft. I don't know the specific situation yet, now that I have the advantage, I should fight steadily, and I must not take the risk to pursue a quick move to defeat the enemy, and the instantaneous disk that loses height and speed is too fierce is absolutely impossible to use in Belenkov's opinion, and a relatively conservative stable disk is a good choice.

Although the pointing speed of the head of the stabilized disc is not as fast as that of the instantaneous disk, this is not a problem, just take your time, and the altitude and speed must not be abandoned, but in this way, Belenkov's nose radar cannot be pointed at Anwar quickly.

When Belenkov turned around steadily, at this time he finally found Anwar in the radar, and he was relieved, looking at the appearance of this plane, it should seem like it was flying to a low altitude, what is the situation?

In any case, now the plane is in a catastrophe, and such a close distance is enough for the fire control radar to lock on to him, directly lock the plane, and then everything is over.

Without too much movement, it flew smoothly, and now it is necessary to provide the best environment for the radar, continuously and stably illuminate Anwar, measure Anwar's distance, azimuth and data update information.

Now it's like in a simulation, it's time to prepare for the next step. When the infrared cooling device of the P-60 missile is turned on, after the seeker is cooled, it is the time for the missile's infrared guidance seeker to work.

According to the azimuth and distance data provided by the radar, the seeker finally found the infrared source below, although it was very weak, but it was enough, and the infrared guidance seeker could complete the lock after another 1.5 seconds.

The missile can be launched, and after launch, regardless of the biggest advantage of the infrared guidance seeker, perhaps success is just around the corner, this is really a pleasant battle, this unknown model of aircraft, will soon be defeated by itself, it will be a proud record.

Finally, the sound of the lock was completed, but Belenkov was dead at this moment, the sharp sound was indeed the sound of the missile locking, but the locked plane was not the Pakistani plane that the radar showed.

Belenkov was locked at this critical moment, and the sharp prompt just now was to remind Belenkov that he had been locked, and as for what plane he was locked on, Belenkov thought about where the enemy came from after a little thought.

I didn't expect that when I was fighting the most intense, Pakistani support planes arrived, and what was even more odious was that now this plane actually joined the battle group, which was really unbearable.

Now that he is locked, and the Pakistani plane that fought fiercely with himself just now is also locked by himself, he has to choose at this time. Belenkov will not let go of such a good opportunity, in this friction, Pakistan fouled first, two to one, then you can't blame yourself for not following the rules.

Belenkov, with a fierce face, was like an enraged polar bear, regardless of the harsh warning in the cockpit, he focused on aiming at Anwar who was flying low, and when the familiar aiming completion prompt sounded, he decisively pressed the launch button.

The fire at the root of the wing flickered, and a P-60 missile flew straight towards Anwar, but it had not completely lowered its altitude to an ultra-low altitude, and the infrared heat source of the Super Annihilation Sect 7 was quite obvious, and the diameter of the P-60 flew towards Anwar without any pressure.

Anwar's cockpit had already sounded a shrill siren and was locked, the result that Anwar had expected a long time ago, but with years of experience, Anwar knew that this kind of friction would not move in earnest, and it was impossible to launch missiles.

At the moment of being locked, it means that Anwar has lost, so he had to give up resisting decadently, this time he failed, because this engine was not powerful enough, and how did he think of climbing with the MiG-23 at that time? What a major mistake.

Under normal circumstances, the battle would have ended, but now the situation is different, and the 535 machine that came to support has discovered the situation.

"534, the MiG has already launched a missile, immediately evade it, this is not a simulated air battle, this is not a simulated air battle!"

Hearing the news from Kamal, Anwar immediately went on the highest alert, the MiGs had fired missiles, and he had to take action or be destroyed. (To be continued......)
