Chapter 590: Tomcat vs. Tomcat (1)
When the fighter planes fly in a dense formation, it is a bright spot on the radar screen opposite, which is also an action that the pilot must master, but the fact that the Iraqi pilots dare to fly in a dense formation shows that their combat skills are also good. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, no matter how powerful they are, the gap in performance is irreparable. It can be said that as long as the other side does not come from the MiG-25, there will be no pressure on the other side!
The Tomcat fighter continued to fly, and the radar operator in the rear cabin continued to be curious: "They are also turning on the afterburner climb, the same as our tactics!" ”
This is more strange, the explanation can only be one, the other party has installed an omnidirectional warning receiver, and their current radar, although it has not yet turned from scanning to locking, has been discovered by the other party, so the other party found that it encountered a threat, and it adopted the method of climbing high to deal with it.
No matter what era it is, energy is the most important factor when a fighter is fighting, and climbing high in advance is a process of accumulating energy.
Regardless of the other party's response, you will defeat the immortal bird first! Even if the other party discovers their attack and throws off the immortal bird, they have no choice, after all, it is impossible to enter the combat state with the heavy immortal bird missile!
Therefore, at the time of this sortie, because the strength of the Iraqi Air Force was already very weak, the Tomcat fighter only carried two undead birds, which was not a long-distance interception mission, two were enough.
"The target has been locked." The distance between the two sides gradually approached, and at the time of one hundred and twenty kilometers, the radar operator in the rear turned the radar into a locked state, ready to launch the missile, and almost at the same time, his own radar warning receiver also sounded a screeching sound, and was locked by the other party!
Locked by the other party? At this moment, Xius had an ominous premonition, at a distance of more than 100 kilometers, the other party could also lock on to himself, could it be that something like the MiG-25 came?
However, no matter what the case may be, let's beat the immortal birds you are carrying first! Otherwise, if your fighter wants to maneuver, you have to throw away the immortal bird.
"Fire!" Under the order of Xius, the radar operator in the rear cabin pressed the button, and there was a shaking under the belly of the plane, and the two undead birds dragged the tongue of fire and flew out!
The radar operator in the rear compartment is nervously staring at the radar screen, he needs to guide the Immortal Bird missile, and at the same time, he has to watch the incoming missiles of the opposing side! Because almost at the same time, missiles were launched from the opposite side!
At this time, the pilots of the Pirate Flag squadron were all wondering, they could launch missiles at a distance of 100 kilometers, it seems that Iraq only has MiG-25 fighters, but if it is a MiG-25, then why doesn't the other side fly higher and faster? That would give the missile more initial energy!
The time of air combat is very short, and just when your own missiles have just flown to the self-leading lead to start capturing the target, the missiles on the opposite side also fly! Xius operated his fighter and greeted it, and the Tomcat fighter with the swept wings looked extremely beautiful, and at this moment, Xius felt that he was integrated with this fighter.
When the missile appeared in his field of vision, Hughes pressed his head and kicked the rudder, and the huge overload made him black-eyed, but he was confident.
There was no accident on the fighter, the missile passed by the Tomcat fighter, and the radar operator in the rear compartment saw the appearance of the missile in front of the black vision for a moment.
It seems, how is it the same as your own immortal bird missile? It is no wonder that the R33 of the Soviets was ridiculed by their own side as immortal.
"Pirate Flag 2 is normal."
"Pirate Flag 3 is normal."
As the sound of air contact sounded, Xius was very satisfied, and he dodged this round of bullets from the other party! The Pirate Flag squadron has a total of 14 Tomcat fighters, except for two fighters that are under maintenance and did not fight, this time they came with a total of 12 fighters, all of which dodged the missiles fired by the eight fighters on the opposite side!
"The goals are there." The radar officer in the aft compartment continued to report.
Hearing this, Xiusi's heart was stunned, shouldn't it? There is an advantage in the number of fighters on the one side, so the number of missiles launched is also large, and the opponent's fighters may face three or even four immortal birds in one plane, how did the opponent dodge it? Not even a single one was destroyed?
"Attention, we are facing the elite air power of Iraq, cheer up, the Pirate Flag squadron is invincible!" Hughes shouted over the radio, "Prepare the sparrows!" ”
Although the dodge just lost energy, but the two sides are constantly getting closer, so they will soon be able to reach the distance of launching the Sparrow missile, and if they have not improved, they can only defeat the opponent through close combat.
Prepare for Sparrow Missiles! The two-person piloting system greatly reduces the burden on the pilot, and the Sparrow missile is still operated by the radar operator in the rear cabin, and the front cabin is responsible for flight and close-range combat.
At the same time, the plane on the opposite side was also rapidly approaching.
Although the Immortal Bird missile has a long range, it has a small overload and is easy to be thrown off by the opponent's large overload maneuver, while the Sparrow missile, the use of overload is much larger, with the most advanced electronic technology of the United States as a support, and now the AIM-7F missile they use has a much stronger performance than that of the Vietnam War, and it is no longer an uncontrolled rocket!
At a distance of 30 kilometers, the two sides fired a second round of missiles at each other, and sure enough, the tactics of the other side were the same as their own! At this moment, Xiusi was a little contradictory, unlike the active guidance at the end of the immortal bird missile, the Sparrow missile needs the radar guidance of the carrier aircraft throughout the whole process, and if you want to maneuver with a high overload, the missile fired will lose the target! At such a time, should you continue to fly smoothly as a target aircraft, or should you quickly maneuver to get rid of the missile?
"Maneuver out!" After a short hesitation, Hughes finally made his choice, throwing away one or two missiles was worthless, the fighter he piloted was precious, and his own life was more precious.
A good pilot must have the courage to face death! Being targeted by missiles is very common in air combat! Head-on, Hughes continued to use this seemingly risky, but actually most practical way, to shake off the missiles fired from the opposite side.
"Boom!" Just then, an explosion came from his headphones. Damn, one of your own fighters was hit! Huston's heart sank. How is this possible? (To be continued.) )
