Chapter 269: F-15 is abused

If this kind of failure occurs during training, there is a standard process: turn off the engine, let the engine spin, and start the ignition immediately when the turbine temperature drops below the red line. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Moreover, the F-15 is twin-engine, and there is a titanium firewall between the two engines, and if one engine stalls, even if it catches fire, it will not cause the plane to be destroyed and killed, and it can be driven back.

However, now it is a fierce air battle! If you stall at this time, you will be digging your own grave.

Although it was only a failure of the left engine, the F-15 showed insufficient thrust in an instant, so Ikeda could only watch the MiG-23 fighter in front of him, and after passing behind him, the wings suddenly quickly stretched forward, reduced the sweep angle, and followed, with incredible agility, turned around!

Damn, the MiG-23 of the Soviets, has turned into an automatic swept wing! Yuji Ikeda had fought the MiG-23 before, and although the aircraft had a variable sweep wing, in the heat of battle, the Soviet pilots rarely changed the sweep angle, and they were still flying like ordinary fighters.

But now, their swept wings have shrunk freely! When the swept wings are fully extended, the MiG-23's maneuverability will be quite good, and that small angle of hovering makes Yuji Ikeda feel that it is difficult to do it, no wonder the other party has been following him all the time and has not been thrown off by himself!

MiG-23, it will be a big trouble in the future!

Yuji Ikeda pondered as he waited in a flat flight, and now he had no choice but to wait for the turbine of the left engine to cool down before he could restart it.

But now. The other party will not give Yuji Ikeda a chance!

When he found that the opponent was cunningly slowing down and allowing himself to fly in front of the opponent, Kovacevic immediately operated the fighter to steer, and completed a 180-degree turn in the smallest and fastest way. Although the altitude is slightly reduced, it still allows the opponent to appear in the field of vision of his front hemisphere.

That plane is not as agile as it was just now, and it is a good opportunity to fly flat like this!

Visually aimed at the enemy aircraft, Kovacevich quickly fired a second R-60 missile.

The other party was crooked, trying to dodge, and at the same time released a large number of heat flares, but alas. Still useless, the second R-60 missile, which exploded precisely in the nose of the opponent's nose, flew sideways with countless fragments, followed the air intake, and entered the engine.

In the blazing booster rocket, Yuji Ikeda ejected and fired out with the right shot. There was no way for him to escape.

The battle in the air continues. Kovacevic received an order in his headset: "At three o'clock, at a distance of ten, at a height of six thousand." ā€

The grappling just now kept him away from the airspace of other comrades, and now, he received the order. He immediately visually captured the target that was fighting in the hollow, turned on the afterburner, and chased after it.

High in the sky, two MiG-31s are circling, powerful phased array radar. Illuminates the entire airspace of the warring and provides guidance to your own fighters. It's a pity that the data link system is not perfect, and it can only be warned by voice, otherwise, it will not be a problem to command two squadrons with a MiG-31!

With the early warning of the MiG-31, which can command air combat, and can also be alert to more enemy aircraft coming to sneak attack, Andrei listened to the voice of the radar operator in the rear compartment and knew that the battle was going to end soon.

This time, you can play against the F-15! The most powerful third-generation aircraft for the Americans! In later generations, this kind of fighter has always been the main force in the confrontation in China. It's a pity that now it is being abused by the MiG-23 of the second-generation fuselage!

Eight F-15s, at a long distance, were shot down by the R-33 missiles launched by the MiG-31, and in close combat, three more were shot down, and two F-15s fled in confusion, and here, only one MiG-31 was damaged and returned home with injuries!

The tactics of the MiG-31 plus the MiG-23 have proved to be completely feasible in practice!

The MiG-31 has a powerful radar and long-range missiles, but the ability to fight at close range is a shortcoming, only in Andrey's hands, can he entangle with the enemy in close combat, and the average pilot still takes long-range interception as the main task.

And the MiG-23, after this modernization, the close-range combat ability has undergone a radical change, but the medium and long-range engagement is still a short board, and the R-23 missile can only be said to be better than nothing!

And the combination of the two, just complementary advantages, MiG-31 command MiG-23 engagement, and at the same time can launch R-33 missiles at a long distance, to give the enemy the first wave of fierce attacks, just like today, F-15 fighters were originally intended to launch Sparrow missiles at a long distance, but first under the attack of R-33, had to protect themselves, their attack was disrupted, only to give the MiG-23 fleet a chance, MiG-23 fleet almost at the same time as the R-33 missiles arrived, followed the kill, Hit the Americans by surprise.

It is a pity that the R-73 missiles have not yet entered service, and only alternative R-60 missiles can be used, and on the four pylons of the MiG-23, eight R-60 missiles can be mounted, and the firepower has been greatly strengthened, giving full play to the advantages of maneuverability in close combat and helmet sights.

The combination of the two, this time the F-15 fighter, although it is only piloted by the plaster flag, also has a great significance! Before the MiG-29 and Su-27 are put into service, they no longer have to be afraid of the threat of the F-15, even if the F-14 comes, they can compete in it!

Although the air battle had only lasted for a few minutes, the two sides returned home, and the sky in the eastern sea area was once again quiet.

And the island country has already exploded.

How has there been no good news! Every piece of news is so frustrating!

In the Yokota base, even Lieutenant General Paul has a black face, and this defeat is even more intolerable to him!

"The technological development of the Soviets has exceeded our imagination, and we can now confirm that the MiG-25 of the Soviets, which may also be an improved version of the MiG-25, is equipped with newer long-range missiles, and the effective range of this missile can reach 100 kilometers." Colonel Lasfield, chief of intelligence at PACOM, who had just returned from the Chitose base, analyzed the entire operation and reported to Lieutenant General Paul: "The Soviets' MiG-23s have also undergone massive improvements, their swept wings have been able to control automatically, and we also suspect that they have a new way of aiming combat shells, and their rate of fire is much faster than ours."
