Chapter 845: Dhahran Space Base

With the afterburner turned on, aviation fuel began to be consumed at an alarming rate, and Iftachi, looking at the F-15 formation that was close at hand, turned off the afterburner. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Report, Chisel No. 4 is not enough oil, Chisel No. 4 is not enough oil." Iftachi glanced at the instrument on the dashboard, and calculated that if he didn't return to Israel, he would have to fall in Saudi Arabia or Jordan.

Bahari heard Iftachi's voice in the headphones, the Chisel No. 4 was his landline, although he was the commander of the formation, but the rank of Iftachi was higher than his own, and besides, he was the only one left of the eight F-16s on the expedition, and Bahari didn't want to crash again due to lack of fuel.

Anyway, these F-15s are just to protect the bombing formation, and now there is only one left, and they have to bring it back if they say anything, and now they have flown to Karbala Province, where the air defense is very weak, and if they fly for more than ten minutes, they will go out of the borders of Iraq. And those planes that had just taken off and were ready to intercept were probably still 100 kilometers away at the moment, and by the time they caught up, they had already flown out of Iraq.

Bahari made up his mind, "Attention to the formation, the height is ten thousand, the speed is 400, and the direction is 270." ”

Iftachi watched the F-15 in front of him fly out of his sight, and he immediately pulled the joystick back, lifted the nose of the plane and began to climb upwards.

As soon as he entered the low altitude, the red light of the radar warning receiver flashed on the dashboard of Iftachi, and the eager voice of the on-board computer came from the headset: "You have been locked, you have been locked." ”

Bahari's voice came from the headset: "The radar jamming pod is immediately turned on, and the formation as a whole turns right, and the release is locked." ”

The four MiG-25s were the praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finches were behind, and they were already following behind the formation, and the long plane was Iraq's genius pilot, "Sky Falcon" Reyer.

The MiG-25 was imported from the Soviet Union in the spring of 1980 and was an important interceptor for the territorial air defense of the Soviet Union. It is a high-altitude and high-speed interceptor fighter developed by the Mikoyan Design Bureau of the Soviet Union. It was the first fighter in the world to reach speeds of more than Mach 3. The nickname given by NATO is "Flying Bat".

In order to overcome the thermal effects due to the enormous speed, the MiG-25 did not use the usual aluminum alloy structure, but used a lot of stainless steel. With the advantage of speed, the MiG-25 had a very good advantage when conducting volley operations, and at this time, the MiG-21 and MiG-23 were still coming slowly behind.

However, the avionics system of the MiG-25 is very backward, the large-scale use of electron tubes, but the effect is very poor, the most obvious, is the lack of high-power radar and the ability to look down and shoot down, the power of the MiG-25 is so large, it is said that a rabbit can be roasted 300 meters away, and the search distance is also 100 kilometers, however, the resolution is not very high, especially if the other party is at a low altitude, and the echo on the ground will turn the radar screen into snowflakes, but the target cannot be found.

Therefore, Reyer has been following the other side, and due to the lack of AWACS support, Bahari did not notice, and in just a few minutes, a group of uninvited guests followed.

When Reyer saw the other party pulled up from a low altitude, he was immediately overjoyed, and ordered the formation: "The radar is turned on, lock it immediately." ”

The MiG-25 carried 2 R-40R semi-active radar-guided medium-range air-to-air missiles and 2 R-40T infrared-guided medium-range air-to-air missiles and 2 R-60 process infrared air-to-air missiles.

At this time, Bahari is facing a very troublesome situation, the opponent's plane appears behind him, and he has locked his own formation, then, the next moment, there will definitely be missiles shooting, if his own formation turns to fight, then, regardless of whether these planes can be repulsed, his formation will be bombarded to pieces by other fighters who rushed in, if there is no fighting, then, his own formation will be beaten, only beaten, not fought back, but it is not the style of the Israeli Air Force.

Suddenly, there was a rapid alarm sound in the headset, and the other party had already launched a missile!

"The radar jamming pod was immediately opened, and the formation as a whole turned to the right and was released from locking." Bahari didn't have time to say anything else, get rid of this attack first.

The formation immediately changed direction and at the same time released electromagnetic interference, especially the two two-seater F-15s, with an additional weapon operator, and immediately activated the jamming pods mounted under the wings.

As long as the course of the aircraft is consistent with the direction of the opponent's radar beam, the opponent's radar will lose its target, and the missile that has already been launched will not find the target because it is unlocked, and finally self-destruct.

It's useless, the missiles are still approaching at a rapid pace.

The jamming pod mounted under the wing had less than half the power of the MiG-25 radar, and it could not interfere with the opponent's radar at all, and the steering just now was not successful.

In an emergency, Bahari had a whim, and it seemed that he could only return to the low altitude.

"All formations, dive at once."

The electronic technology of the USSR is not good, it is famous, otherwise, when it was at a low altitude just now, why didn't the other side lock its own formation? As soon as it was pulled up, it was attacked, and now, it can only return to the low altitude.

This is also very dangerous, if this trick does not work, fly to a low altitude, lose the altitude advantage, and the MiG aircraft that came after it are very disadvantaged in low-altitude fighting, especially the MiG-21, low-altitude dogfight is very good.

The point of light on the radar screen disappeared, and he couldn't wait to smash the radar screen with his gloved hands, this kind of radar is really too powerful, and if you hold on for two more seconds, the missile will enter the autonomous flight process, and you will not need the help of the airborne radar.

Medium-range air-to-air missiles are not left alone after launch, they have to use the radar of the carrier aircraft to illuminate the target and provide the missile with data on the other side in two-thirds of the distance.

The first salvo was fired, and no results were taken down.

The other party must have entered a low altitude, the MiG-25 is an excellent high-altitude high-speed interceptor, and it is not suitable for a low-altitude grappling with the opponent, Reyer had to order the formation to slow down and wait for the other party to appear again, otherwise, it can only be solved by those slow MiG-21 and MiG-23.

By the time Zhang Feng returned to the Osirak nuclear reactor, everything was over. A fire had already broken out in the nearby building, but the nearby nuclear reactor was unharmed, and several fire engines were extinguishing the fire. (To be continued.) )
