Chapter 828: Nuclear Winter

The pointed head of the MiG-23 broke through the huge sound barrier, the wings were adjusted to the maximum sweep angle, like a shuttle, and a lilac flame shot out of the thick tail nozzle, which was the result of the afterburner working, and soon, it accelerated to extreme speed.

Theoretically, the afterburner can support up to three minutes, and no matter how long the time is, the engine is at risk of being burned out.

Arslan doesn't care so much, if he can succeed, he is a hero who can escape from the panda within ten kilometers.

Being chased and killed, escaping, is also a hero, because, until now, none of the Iraqi planes that came into contact with the panda at such a distance have been spared.

If it is a comparative race, I am afraid that the MiG-23 will not be able to outrun the F14, but the Iranian pilots are not interested in competing with him to see who can run faster.

In their eyes, this MiG that sneaked up on them was already certain to die.

They didn't turn on the afterburner, and although the distance was getting wider, the weapons operator in their aft compartment had enough time to launch the missile.

"Radar TWS mode, prepare the immortal birds." Abbas said.

TWS mode, refers to tracking while scanning, in this case, the radar works in a pulse-Doppler search mode, while tracking the target, while scanning the surrounding airspace, to prevent other situations, is a common way to go deep into the enemy's combat conditions, it can track 24 targets at the same time, using AIM-54 to attack 6 of the targets, that is, in an ideal situation, a Panda, can deal with one squadron of the opponent.

Although in the TWS working state, the working distance of the radar is usually less than the maximum search distance, for example, the maximum search distance of your own radar for the reflection area of 5 square meters is 213 kilometers, but in the TWS state, its operating distance is 167 kilometers, however, for the MiG aircraft that only flew 20 kilometers away, this distance is nothing at all.

Since the mechanical radar needs to rotate, in this mode, it rotates once in two seconds, so the radar display updates the target position once every two seconds.

Due to the lack of Immortal Bird missiles, each plane carried only one Immortal Bird, three Sparrows, and two Sidewinders on this mission, although at this distance, the use of Sparrows was enough, however, Abbas decided to teach the other side a profound lesson and use the most powerful Undead Bird to kill the other side.

The weapon operator in the rear compartment immediately skillfully operated the radar, locked on to the target that was detaching in front, provided guidance data for the AIM54 Immortal Bird missile, and quickly completed the launch preparations.

"The target has been locked." The weapons operations officer in the aft compartment reported.

"Launch!" Without hesitation, Abbas pressed the launch button.

An immortal bird dragging a tongue of fire flew away from the panda's belly and swooped towards the point of light in the distance.

In another panda, Akbari also launched an immortal bird.

The AIM-54 Immortal Bird air-to-air missile is a heavy long-range air-to-air missile system developed by the US Navy, which has a long range, high power, and the ability to attack multiple targets at the same time. Due to its huge size, each missile reaches a staggering 440 kilograms, which weighs nearly half a ton, and can only be equipped for use on the Panda.

The Immortal Bird uses a large conical projectile body; The missile body is equipped with 4 large ****** to provide lift and stability for the missile; The springtail part is equipped with 4 cruciform fins to control the direction of flight; The missile is installed with a conventional warhead, a 60-kilogram continuous rod of high-energy explosives.

After the missile is launched, it will automatically climb to an altitude of 24,000-30,000m and fly at a speed of Mach 5, the initial stage adopts a pre-programmed flight, and the middle stage is guided by the Panda's AWG-9 radar in a semi-active way, when the missile enters the final guidance stage and starts the missile radar system to search / track the target, the missile will automatically dive downward, at this time the missile will pounce on the target at a very high speed, Even if the missile warhead does not explode, such a high kinetic energy is enough to directly knock out an enemy aircraft.

Therefore, as long as you are hit by an immortal bird, there is almost no chance of survival.

Although the AIM-54 Immortal Bird is the standard configuration of the US Navy Panda, it is probably the Iranian Air Force that has the most opportunities to be used in actual combat.

The two immortal birds had already flown to a high altitude, and at this time, the distance between the two sides was 23 kilometers, and at this distance, the immortal birds only needed to fly for more than ten seconds.

The weapon operator in the rear cabin began to control the radar in an unsteady manner, and the 25.4-centimeter-diameter cathode ray tube tactical information display in front of him kept flashing light spots. 2 seconds of scanning time per week, can be refreshed six or seven times, next to the 12.7cm multi-working state storage tube, in the display of detailed information.

Fortunately, the driver was an improved model, equipped with the "Siren" 3 radar warning system, and Arslan heard a frightening siren sound from the headset and knew that he had been locked by the other party.

Arslan knew that the time had come to finally test himself.

How to get out of the shadows of the immortal birds? After a careful study of the battles, Arslan found that two of the examples of escapes were from a high altitude with a rapid dive.

This shows that although the other party's radar is strong, it also has weaknesses, and of course, whether this weakness is a weakness or not remains to be confirmed by oneself.

Arslan guessed that the other side's radar, in some cases, will also lose the target, and this lost target will only have the best effect when the Immortal Bird missile is launched, and when the Immortal Bird missile is about to enter the inescapable zone.

So, he was counting down in his heart, "five, four, three, two, one...", he pushed down the lever, and the MiG-23 began to fall at a near-vertical speed.

This is a dangerous maneuver, and the slightest mistake can lead to a deadly stall tailspin.

However, only by diving downwards will it be possible to maneuver to the maximum extent possible, and in the shortest possible time, to fly over the longest distance, so that it is possible to cause the opponent's radar to release and lock.

The flogger began to tremble, and the airspeed gauge in front of him, which began to approach the red zone, had exceeded the top speed of Mach 2.4, and if it flew down, it was possible that the fighter would disintegrate in the air.

After decades of hard work, the Baath Party's goal of controlling both the army and the government was finally achieved.

By this time, Hassan was already old, his health had deteriorated rapidly, and a few years later, power had fallen into the hands of Saddam.
