Now, although there is still some distance from the carrier aircraft, under the explosion, I saw that the F-4 fighter, like a kite with a broken line in the wind, the whole body shook a little, and a cloud of black smoke came out of the tail, followed by a loud bang, and the whole plane turned into a fireball!

In order to increase the power, the warheads of air-to-air missiles are all fragmented, and when they explode, the flying fragments will become powerful weapons, and the fighter will crash when it hits a bird, let alone be scratched by sharp fragments.

And the F-4 fighter just now, because the infrared jamming bomb was released too late, caused the decoy R-40 missile to explode in the tail, too close to the tail, the huge warhead still brought death to the F-4 fighter, and the result became a failed operation to avoid the missile attack.

The two members didn't have time to eject, and they turned into fireballs along with the fighter, and at this time, Major Dick had no time to mourn his wingman, and with the sound of being locked by radar in the headset, the MiG-25 fighter on the opposite side launched another missile and flew towards him!

The other party is so fast!

Before departure, Andrey's fighter had four missiles on board, two R-60 and two R-40, of which these two R-40s, one each of the infrared seeker and the semi-active radar seeker, respectively.

In real combat, due to the backwardness of the Soviet Union's electronic technology, the performance of the semi-active seeker was limited, so in the later period, the R-40 of the semi-active radar seeker was eliminated.

Now, after Andrei finished firing the infrared-guided R-40, he used radar and launched the radar-guided R-40R, not expecting this missile to kill the other party, just hoping to force the other party to escape and keep the chrysanthemum for himself.

After discovering the flying missile, Major Dick did not panic, and fired head-on, and the radar warning receiver was also sounding, it seems that this is a semi-active radar type missile, and under the backward electronic technology of the Soviets, the hit rate of this interception method is very low.

With the example just now, Major Dick keeps releasing platinum strips while turning sideways, which will bring a large number of radar reflections, so that the opponent's radar cannot process a large amount of data and cause the missile to delock, and the sideways rotation is an effective way to get rid of pulsed Doppler radar.

What the? The Tornado-A radar equipped on the MiG-25 fighter does not have pulse Doppler function? In the case of strict secrecy and the unsuccessful defection of Belenko, the United States did not know much about the MiG-25 fighter, and always thought that the Soviet Union had caught up with and surpassed the United States in many technical aspects, and of course the pulse Doppler difficulty had been overcome, and perhaps there was a flat slot radar antenna.

And Major Dick was lucky, he faced Andrei's MiG-25PD, which was really a pulsed Doppler radar.

With Major Dick's sideways turn, coupled with the release of a large number of platinum bars, in front of Andre's radar screen, there were snowflakes, and the target, had disappeared.

I didn't expect this radar-guided R-40R to work at all, and now seeing the other party turning sideways, Andrei pushed the operating stick without hesitation and followed behind the other party.

Steady! Let the R-60 missile lock onto the target and get closer! Andrei followed behind the opposing side, creating an opportunity for the missile to lock onto the target.

The F-4 fighter in front, as if aware of being bitten by the tail, did not turn on the afterburner, the nose of the aircraft turned down, constantly descending in altitude.

If it was an R-73 missile with a large off-axis launch capability, Andrei could easily press a button, launch the missile, and then retreat, but now the infrared seeker of the R-60 missile has a reconnaissance angle limit of 5 °, and only after locking on the target, the seeker tracks the target with a search balance ring of 30 to 35 degrees.

Andrei must put the opponent within five degrees of the axis of his fuselage and hold it for more than two seconds before the missile can lock onto the target!

Although the F-4 fighter is also designed to pay attention to high altitude and high speed, but the low-altitude performance is also quite good, far better than his own MiG-25, the air at low altitude is dense, resulting in the MiG-25 at any time There is a problem of excessive aerodynamic torque, and the operation must be more careful.

So, after cautiously following for twenty seconds, seeing that the altitude had dropped below seven thousand meters, Andrei gave up the pursuit, turned on the afterburner, and resumed the accelerated climb.

It's time to go home!

The MiG-25, like a ranger in the sky, seeks defeat alone.

As long as the MiG-25 wants to go, no one can stop it!

Andrei retreated at the right time, at the US Air Force base in the rear, four F-4 fighters had already rushed towards this side of the sea, ready to surround and annihilate the lonely Andrei's plane, and when Andrei rushed to an altitude of more than 20,000 meters, they stopped the pursuit.

When the AWACS aircraft told him that the MiG-25 he was pursuing behind had flown to a high altitude and returned, he returned to level flight, untied his oxygen mask, and gasped for air.

The other party has been flying with him, no matter what, he can't get rid of it, and several times Major Dick has a premonition that the other party is going to launch a missile, but this is the sea, even if he escapes by ejection, he is afraid that it will be difficult to be rescued.

Now, the other side finally flew away, and all this is over, that MiG-25, that Soviet pilot, it's terrible!

In the midst of the breath, four F-4 fighters had already flown in, accompanying Major Dick, who pulled the control stick and followed these fighters, this time the greeting operation failed!

Originally, it was planned that on this MiG-25 defection, they would uncover the mystery of the MiG-25, but who would have thought that the Soviets would actually catch up and shoot down the defected fighter plane by launching missiles!

Again without an advantage! The current US military stationed in Japan has experienced defeat after failure!

The news reached Yokota, and in the face of the outcome of the failure, Lieutenant General Paul was furious.

"What is Major Dick doing? Why didn't you rush to meet the defected plane early? And the E-2 AWACS aircraft, why not take off in advance and monitor the airspace? Lieutenant General Paul shouted, "Who made such a bad plan?" ”

The angry Lieutenant General Paul is very terrible, and the subordinates don't dare to breathe one by one, and no one will say that it was Lieutenant General Paul's idea in the first place, and the Soviets defected, what if it was a trap? The E-2 AWACS aircraft lifted off to monitor, maybe there will be danger, just like last time, it is enough to send only two F-4s!

Now, the plan has failed, and Lieutenant General Paul has forgotten what had happened.

"Actually, we haven't failed yet." A voice came from around the corner.
