Chapter 146: Shoot down EC-121
Andrey seized on a loophole in the Americans, and in the American mindset, the conflict is now on Sakhalin, and the fighting will be confined to the skies over Sakhalin. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Naive, you provoked the war, how to fight, how to fight, where to fight, and you can still be completely in charge? Do you think you're sitting on the bank?
Of course, Andrei will not follow the Americans' train of thought, and chose Iturupu Island, an island with an area of more than 3,000 square kilometers, because it is located on the coast of the Pacific Ocean and has no strategic depth, so the Soviet Union only symbolically stationed troops, and did not really mobilize the main forces such as the Pacific Fleet, and the tragedy of the Americans' Pearl Harbor during World War II has not yet gone away, and Iturrupu Island is not suitable for large-scale garrisoning.
Moreover, the front line of the confrontation between the Soviet Union and the West was in the European part, where the equipment and personnel were not first-class. Even so, the Soviet Union invested a certain amount of money in the repair of military bases such as deep-water ports and airfields on the island of Iturupu, so that in the event of war, troops could be mobilized at any time.
In terms of defense division, the islands here are all under the jurisdiction of the Sakhalin Defense Zone.
The Tu-22 bombers that took off from Sakhalin successfully contained the strength of the US Navy, and relied on new tactics to beat the Americans' ass with urine, and now, Andrey's mission is the most arduous and tempting task in the entire mission, to kill the Americans' AWACS aircraft!
With the support of their own AWACS aircraft and electronic warfare aircraft, it was not difficult to find the Americans' AWACS aircraft, the main difficulty was how to get close to the opponent's AWACS aircraft, so Andrei and his wingman first flew at an altitude of 15,000 meters. Imitate the flight characteristics of other fighters, let the opponent let down their vigilance, and then, when they find that the opponent has sent an interceptor, climb quickly to let the opponent's interception fly into the air.
Who said high-altitude high-speed is outdated? Just use it properly. It's still possible to work miracles!
Andrey, the man who created miracles!
At this time, the AWACS aircraft is desperately flying south, and at the same time, the Yokota base is rapidly taking off the second wave of fighters, although it is an old F-4 fighter, but even if it is to block the AWACS aircraft with its body, it is necessary to save the precious AWACS aircraft!
Pity. It's still too late, the EC-121 is just a propeller plane, with a limited maximum speed, and at high altitude, the two MiG-25s, which don't care that their engines will burn out this time, are flying at maximum speed, and the distance between the two sides is rapidly approaching.
One hundred kilometers. Eighty kilometers, sixty kilometers......
The only one that poses a threat to the MiG-25. It's the Tomcat fighter, but unfortunately, now the Tomcat fighters are confronting the Tu-22 at sea!
The Tu-22 does not have escort fighters, but do the Americans dare to really attack the bomber fleet? Give them a dare not dare, if the bomber is shot down. That's when the war really began! It just so happened that the Americans gave the opportunity to let the troops of the Far Eastern Military District land on the island country and completely pacify the island country!
The Americans are in the Far East, and the main forces are the Air Force and Navy. And the strength of the self-defense forces on the road of the islanders is not half a point worse.
At this time, the F-4 fighters that took off from the Yokota base were flying quickly in the direction of Andrei's MiG-25 attack, but unfortunately, it was still too late!
The two MiG-25s in the air, like killers, released their own powerful blows from an altitude of 30,000 meters!
Under the wings, the flames flickered, and the two missiles on the inside left the pylons one after another, and this kind of scene was pleasing to the eye.
The other side has already launched a missile! At this time, the crew of the EC-121 AWACS aircraft were already crying, and they were holding on tightly to the things next to them, feeling the propeller aircraft rapidly reducing altitude.
Go low and get their radar unlocked!
At the same time, the radar antenna on the top continues to release electromagnetic waves, tracking the information of those missiles that are flying.
Four points of light, four missiles!
These missiles are approaching at a rapid pace, what's going on?
In terms of Soviet technology, it is quite difficult to filter the radar waves reflected from the ground, in fact, even the current EC121 early warning aircraft does not have the ability to filter out complex ground echoes, and can only be used on the sea or flat land. This is also the reason why the Americans are in a hurry to develop the E-3.
"The MiG-25 has returned!" An early warning officer shouted: "What they shot was not a radar-guided missile, it was an infrared seeker!" ”
The Soviets had poor electronic technology and poor performance of radar-guided missiles, so the seekers of their missiles were interchangeable with infrared and radar. Now, since the other side has finished launching the missile and left, it must be the infrared seeker.
Active radar seeker? No kidding, the electronics of the Soviets will never make this thing out!
"Quick, release infrared decoy bombs!" The AWACS commander continued to shout.
He didn't know, all the people didn't, they made a big mistake, and this mistake, sent them to hell!
Infrared decoy bombs are constantly being released from the rear fuselage of the AWACS aircraft, like a salute blooming in the sky, which is extremely beautiful.
None of those missiles that flew off the target were still chasing them quickly!
"Boom!" The first missile, catching up with the AWACS, exploded violently at the position of that radar raised at the top.
"Boom!" The second missile, which flew up with it, almost caught up with the location of the explosion of the first missile, continued to explode, and during the attack of this second missile, the EC-121 broke from the middle of the fuselage, and in the air, like a kite with a broken string, tumbled and fell!
The two missiles that followed, did not find their target, and self-detonated not far away, and now, they are no longer needed.
The Americans absolutely do not know that these missiles, which could not be interfered with just now, are not radar seekers at all, nor infrared seekers, but anti-radiation missiles!
What Andrei wants the rear to provide is this kind of specially made missile, which is specially designed to chase the source of electromagnetic radiation! If the Americans turn off the radar, then these missiles will lose their guidance and become uncontrolled rockets, alas, the Americans want to closely track these flying missiles, and the radar is always working!
It is a pity that limited by the technology of solid rocket engines in the Soviet Union at this time, the range of this missile is not high, and the tail chase is less than 40 kilometers, if there are missiles with a range of more than 200 kilometers in later generations, Andrei does not have to risk breaking through, and he can snipe early warning aircraft from a distance.
One hit! (To be continued.) )
