Chapter XVII

Over the years, there have been too many grudges between the Egyptian Air Force and the Israeli Air Force, and even Mustafa, after hearing that he recognized it as a ghost, immediately had fire in his eyes.

"003 reports Beni Suef, 003 reports Beni Suef, target found, F-4 fighter, request to use radar lock, request to use radar lock." Mustafa reported to the tower in the rear on the radio.

In air combat, locking means imminent fire, which is the most serious warning, and in the past, they often did this.

And for Qin Feng, all this is still new, because the fighters of the Han Air Force don't even have a radar, where did they come from.

The MiG-21MF he is operating now also has a radar, even if it is a simple radar rangefinder, but he will not operate it.

These are all things that need to be trained.

Mustafa reported to the tower, nine times out of ten, he should be able to get a positive answer, right? Who knows, the sound that came from inside the headphones later disappointed him.

"003, please come closer, please come closer."

From the radar station on the ground, they can also see the distance between each other, maybe the ground thinks that it is not necessarily an F-4 fighter, or maybe the ground thinks that at this time, it is not appropriate to intensify the contradictions between them, and they must refrain from it.

Damn it!

Mustafa's eyes were on fire, remembering how many of his comrades-in-arms had died at the hands of the other side in several Middle East wars, and now, when the other party came to investigate, he didn't even agree to lock it up!

He told himself to be calm, in the air, danger can happen at any time, and only a calm brain can give him an advantage in the next interception.

"024, keep up." He greeted on the radio, and the two silver-white fighters continued to fly forward, and soon, the field of vision became clearer and clearer, and when he saw the outline of the other party, Mustafa continued to shout: "Visually confirmed that it is an RF-4 reconnaissance aircraft, now switch channels." ”

Then, with the flick of his finger, he adjusted his radio to the public channel, and shouted to the opposite side: "The RF-4 reconnaissance plane on the other side, you have flown into Egyptian airspace, you have flown into Egyptian airspace, please leave immediately, please leave immediately!" ”

Mustafa shouted as he shook his wings so that the other party could see clearly.

However, the plane did not turn around and continued to fly smoothly.

At this time, the height of the two sides is the same, almost all of a sudden, and the two sides just pass by.

Mustafa switched back to the channel, and then he pulled the lever, pedaled the rudder, and with his right hand nimbly fixed the angle of the wing in the unfolded state.

The MiG-23 is a fighter with a variable sweep wing, but its variable sweep wing needs to be manually controlled, just like now, in the fierce air battle, you also need to pay attention to the sweep angle of the wing at all times, which is a big burden for the pilot.

After spreading all the wings, the turning performance of the fighter was quite good, and in the midst of the large overload, Mustafa felt some redness in front of his eyes, and then he saw the RF-4 reconnaissance plane again.

By this time, he had completed a 180-degree turn.

Qin Feng behind him was also turning, but his plane couldn't turn so fast no matter what, so he could only watch the MiG-23 plane disappear into his front hemisphere.

The variable swept wing gives the fighter a wide flight envelope for optimal performance in all situations.

At high speeds, the wings are retracted to the end, reducing air resistance, increasing maximum speed, increasing range, and when turning, the wings are deployed, and the cornering performance is quite good.

Aside from the fact that the weight of the structure has increased too much, it is almost always an advantage.

Mustafa looked at the RF-4 reconnaissance plane, which was approaching his own land, and the two engines in the tail were still spewing flames, and his former comrades flashed in front of his eyes.

"Beni Suef, 003 Request Radar Lock." Mustafa continued to shout over the radio.

"003, please exercise restraint and drive the other party away."

The sound from the ground made Mustafa's heart extremely annoyed, but you should exercise restraint and try to drive the other party away? You have the ability, you come up!

His heart was on fire.

In this case, the Egyptian Air Force has not encountered much.

It is said that as an air force pilot, a very common task is to intercept some aircraft that intrude into one's own airspace, drive the opponent away, what maneuvers to do, and how to squeeze the opponent's flight space, all of which have a set of common tactics.

It is as if in later generations, when US reconnaissance planes came to infringe on the territorial airspace of the motherland, heroic pilots often intercepted them.

But now, the Egyptian Air Force is like a schoolboy, they really have no experience in this area, and it is more in line with their style to do it if they don't agree with it.

Near Egypt, several other countries are weak, similar to Libya and the like, the air force is playing soy sauce, and if it can violate their airspace, then only Israel.

In the past, when I encountered Israeli fighters, it was good to just kill them, and never say a word.

But now, Egypt does not want to fight, as the big brother of the Arab world, Egypt has retreated, they want peace talks, and they want to return to their Sinai Peninsula by peaceful means.

In this case, it is not appropriate to start a dispute with Israel again, because if the other side flies a reconnaissance plane, it is better to drive it away, and if the other side's reconnaissance plane is shot down, it may lead to an escalation of the conflict.

The Israelis will not tolerate the fact that the plane was lost, that it had strayed into the airspace, and that it had been attacked by their own side, and that they would send warplanes to provoke it, and that President Sadat's long-awaited peace would be bankrupt.

Mustafa operated his fighter plane and continued to fly forward, flying to the side of the opponent.

From here, he could already see the reconnaissance plane, which was still flying smoothly, and the two pilots in it were turning their heads to look at Mustafa.

"Hey, fuck off!" Mustafa was in the cockpit, waving his arms and shouting angrily at the other party.

However, the other party ignored it and continued to fly smoothly.

At this moment, Mustafa really wanted to push his lever and crash into the other party! However, he held back.

A voice came from the headset: "003, 024 call, 024 has a way, you can drive the other party away." ”

The Egyptian Air Force has not been specially trained in how to deal with these nasty reconnaissance planes, but it is very experienced, and it has fought against Soviet and American planes on the border line.

Qin Feng had already turned from behind and caught up.
