Last time, Andrei went specifically to snipe and kill early warning aircraft, and the missiles he carried were also specially improved anti-radiation seekers, and at that time he also blamed the Americans for being careless, and actually ran under Andrei's nose and did not beat the Americans, then he was absolutely sorry for that opportunity. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

And this time, Andrei only found it by chance, at this time, he could only judge that the other party was an AWACS aircraft, but he didn't know that it was the latest treasure of the US Air Force, although it was not specially prepared, Andrei already had better equipment.

The MiG-31 interceptor, a powerful phased array radar, can find targets 200 kilometers away, and a large early warning aircraft like the current target can be searched at a distance of 300 kilometers if all the beams are mobilized to irradiate at once! If it was still the original Tornado radar, Andrei would definitely not have found anything!

At the same time, the MiG-31 interceptor also has an excellent missile system! The supporting R-33 missile, with a range of more than 100 kilometers, is fully equipped to attack AWACS aircraft! Moreover, at the beginning of this year, the Pennant Design Bureau, at Andrey's suggestion, made software improvements to this air-to-air missile, optimized the flight route, and without changing other conditions, when flying in a cruising taxiing profile, the range was further expanded, and it can already reach two hundred kilometers!

In later generations, Russia improved in this way, and a simple software improvement greatly increased the range of this missile.

Now, with this missile, surprise the Americans!

Andrei was so excited that he followed the instructions of the radar operator in the rear compartment, adjusted the operating stick, aimed it on the course, and then turned the afterburner of the engine to the maximum.

Climb, climb again! The carrier aircraft must have enough energy for the missiles!

The two high-thrust turbofan engines are working frantically, the fuel is constantly consumed, and the speed continues to increase as the body is lightened!

"Damn, they're definitely coming for us!" The commander of the E-3 AWACS aircraft exclaimed.

The other party has already aligned the course, the radar shows that it is still continuing to accelerate and climb, the situation is already obvious, the other party is definitely here to trouble his side!

"The last time we analyzed, the Soviets already had an anti-radiation seeker, our EC-121 AWACS aircraft was hit by an anti-radiation seeker, and their MiG-25, after launching the missile, returned!" One of the radar operators shouted, "As long as we turn off the radar when they launch the missiles, we can avoid being hit!" ”

Turn off the radar! The eyes of the E-3 AWACS aircraft are the radar, and if the radar is turned off, then the side will not know anything! I don't even know when the missile will hit me! The commander's face was a little pale and undecided.

"Two hundred kilometers, the target is only two hundred kilometers away from us!" The radar operator looked at the screen and shouted loudly.

At this time, the E-3 AWACS aircraft had increased to their maximum speed and flew southward, but their speed was not comparable to the MiG-2.8 at Mach 31! It's only a matter of time before you're caught up!

In these few battles, there have been examples of high-altitude and high-speed planes of the Soviets launching missiles from a distance of 60 kilometers, and if they are approached by the other side within 100 kilometers, it will be very dangerous!

Command more fighters to intercept? If someone flies high, they have no chance to intercept it at all!

"One hundred and fifty kilometers away!"

“****！ Four highlights, they launched missiles, four! The radar operator's voice was tinged with horror.

Although the range can reach 200 kilometers, in the case of this kind of tail chase attack, the target is also flying, and if it is launched at the maximum range, it will definitely be out of reach in the end, so Andrei carefully chose to shoot out all four missiles at an interval of one second at a time of one hundred and fifty kilometers!

Four, aiming at one target, be sure to shoot down the AWACS aircraft of the Americans! Andrei was keenly aware in his heart that this was an opportunity to let Americans know that it was not safe to fly over Honshu! Then the Americans will not have any confidence in an air war with their own side!

One hundred and fifty kilometers, sniper AWACS!

After launching the missiles, Andrei turned off the afterburner, and the huge MiG-31 interceptor began to slow down under the action of air resistance, and the radar operator in the rear cabin, who was highly nervous at this time, wanted to control the four missiles!

Last time, four missiles attacked four targets, and this time they only attacked one target, and they must not miss!

The large R-33 has four more deflector areas than the prototype, which maximizes lift, and after the first stage of the solid rocket engine burned and fell off, the second stage of the rocket engine did not ignite immediately, but continued to fly forward in a gliding attitude.

It had just accelerated to a speed of Mach 5 and an altitude of 30,000 meters, and now, the R-33 missile, which had lost power, glided forward in the thin atmosphere, relying on the lift provided by the deflector.

The distance from the target, getting closer, getting closer, and at the same time, the height is decreasing.

With this gliding method, the R-33 missile has already flown eighty kilometers! At the same time, the height has dropped to twenty thousand, and the speed has dropped to Mach three.

At this moment, the second stage of the rocket engine, ignited again! With the appearance of the tail flame, the huge missile began to accelerate again!

However, one missile did not succeed in ignition, and the altitude continued to decrease, and the speed decayed rapidly.

"Turn off the radar, turn off the radar, and immediately order the escorting fighters to intercept the missiles!" The commander of the E-3 AWACS aircraft recovered from his stunned expression and quickly gave the order.

One hundred and fifty kilometers! The Soviets launched missiles from a hundred and fifty kilometers away! This greatly exceeded their expectations, in the United States, the maximum range of the Immortal Bird missile is only 160 kilometers, and the actual launch did not exceed 100 kilometers! The Soviets, however, attacked from a hundred and fifty kilometers away!

They couldn't believe it anyway, just looking at the radar screen, those four bright spots were rapidly approaching!

It's already seventy kilometers, and those missiles are still flying! Moreover, there is a tendency to accelerate!

It seems that the Soviets are not bluffing, they really have the ability to do this! Although one of the missiles fell, there are still three!

So far, is it really an anti-radiation seeker? The AWACS commander was not calm and ordered the on-board radar to be turned off, hoping to escape.

The continuous radar beam, constantly illuminating the large target, the seeker of the R-33's semi-active radar, accurately received the echo, and they were making the final sprint towards the target! (To be continued.) )
