Chapter 572: Modified Sparrow Bullet

In this era, the biggest threat to the Western world is still the high-altitude and high-speed MiG-25! Because they want to hit people, they can't reach it, and they are either flying at high altitude leisurely, or suddenly come down and beat other planes, this kind of situation of only being beaten and not fighting back makes the US Air Force very speechless, although the Tomcat fighter's immortal bird missile can snipe, but after all, it is the navy!

Faced with this situation, the US Air Force, of course, will not remain indifferent, they searched their arsenal and found that it was the most suitable option to improve on the basis of the Sparrow missile!

As a result, they improved their Sparrow missiles, especially by increasing the reaction speed of the internal electronic circuits, and hunting down aircraft with a speed of three Machs, it was necessary to shorten the reaction time! Therefore, this missile is equipped with a new reverse single-pulse seeker, radio proximity fuse, digital control circuit, in addition, the missile body has also been streamlined to reduce air resistance, at the same time, the area of the rudder surface is increased to expand the operating torque at high altitude, and, most importantly, a section of the engine is added behind the missile!

The Americans have to face the fact that if they want to hit the MiG-25, then they have to attack from the back!

F-15 can fly to an altitude of 2,000 meters, it is not easy, generally when there is no plug-in, will try to fly so high, and under the air combat load, it is good to fly to an altitude of 18,000, and MiG-25, but can easily fly to an altitude of 25,000, or even 30,000 meters!

What to do? The solid rocket engine used in the missile burned out after a few seconds, and most of the time after that, it was inertial flight, and the speed was getting slower and slower! Therefore, even if you hit a target at the same height, there is a certain chance, let alone attack from the back. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info let the missile jump to a height of several hundred meters by itself, and the speed just now will be gone!

As a result, the Americans knew that behind the Sparrow missile, a section of engine would be attached, and this engine would have a role in pushing the missile to a higher altitude!

The modified Sparrow missile is a major weapon of the US Air Force, and now, on the Saudi F-15 fighter, it has played a preemptive role! As escort fighters, they are going to intercept these Iraqi MiG-25s!

At this time, they did not know that the early warning aircraft behind them had been shot down, after all, turning off the radar and the early warning aircraft with communication devices was equivalent to cutting off contact with the outside world.

Launch missiles and let the Iraqis know that the MiG-25 is not just coming and going when you want, this is Saudi airspace!

Faced with the missiles launched by the F-15 fighters, Reyer gave the order: "Speed up and continue to fly straight!" ”

Hasten! After turning on the afterburner, the MiG-25 began a new acceleration under the vigorous thrust, and at the same time, the course remained unchanged, flying towards the sky above the Saudi fighters!

A distance of thirty kilometers is a few tens of seconds for the MiG-25, and this altitude difference will still become a talisman for your side!

The active seeker of medium-range missiles is still an unattainable product in this era, and air-to-air missiles guided by semi-active radars are inseparable from the radar guidance of carrier aircraft!

And as the two sides are rapidly approaching, the F-15 fighter wants to radiate the radar beam, and the elevation angle of the antenna has to continue to increase! And with a mechanically rotating radar antenna, the elevation angle is limited!

Shaid watched the radar signal in front of him, getting closer and closer, but the radar alarm began to turn red, and then, the radar unlocked!

The AN/APG63 radar antenna has reached its maximum elevation angle and can no longer capture the target! And at this time, those MiG-25 fighters are still flying arrogantly at high altitude!

The unlocked Sparrow missile, like a firework in the sky, detonated itself in the final stage.

"Turn, prepare to attack!" Reyer, who was high in the air, gave an order to his squadron, and yesterday's fight with the F-15 made him lose his landline, but he did not lose confidence! He is more familiar with the characteristics of the F-15, and today, let's take these fighters!

The MiG-25 squadron that swooped down from a high altitude rushed to the F-15 group, lacking the guidance of AWACS aircraft, and the Blue Shark squadron of Shaid at this time was trying to find the target, and they did not see the fighters diving down from the sky!

……

The news of the downing of the AWACS plane reached the Prince Sultan Air Base, and the atmosphere at the base instantly became highly tense.

"Damn! The Soviets went too far and exported all their advanced weapons to Iraq! "The ground radar station witnessed this process, and its own AWACS aircraft was actually shot down by a missile launched by the other side at a distance of 250 kilometers! This couldn't help but make William Jr. extremely angry.

"Commander, we must release early warning aircraft as soon as possible, our attack aircraft group cannot be without the guidance of early warning aircraft!" Powell said.

Now, the sky is just dawning, and a new day of fighting is about to begin, and at this time, the news that the AWACS aircraft has been shot down is definitely not a good sign, and today's day's actions require the full cooperation of the AWACS aircraft.

"The AWACS plane's route should be far away from the Persian Gulf, and the Iraqis must not be allowed to succeed in their sneak attack again." William Jr. said.

On the runway, the formation of A-10 attack planes, which had planned to take off in advance, also had to get out of the way of the runway, and an early warning plane transferred from the hangar was making preparations before takeoff.

Now, AWACS aircraft are not safe, the weapons of the Soviets have repeatedly targeted AWACS, but they have no choice! Today's huge air operations must be commanded by AWACS aircraft! Especially the ground vehicles that exterminated the Iraqis!

Two hundred kilometers north of Riyadh, deep in the Dehna Desert.

The huge offensive group was ordered to suspend the attack, and now the tanks were being refueled by the tanks of the divisions, while at the same time, there were also some huge multi-wheel drive vehicles that were making final preparations.

This four-axle MAZ-543LTM vehicle is perfectly adapted to the operation in the desert, and they have been following the formation to assault, and now, they have arrived at the predetermined position!

At the top, a missile is slowly erecting, this kind of missile is the scud that Iraq is heavily equipped with!

When your sword isn't long enough, you have to take a step! And now, the range of the Scud missile is only 300 kilometers, so it is necessary to follow the offensive group in order to reach the US military base! At the same time, these offensive troops of their own side are also the guarantee of Scud missiles!

After a night of traveling, it was finally time for the final launch!

On the desert, one missile after another is constantly erected, facing the morning sun, there are hundreds of them! (To be continued.) )
