Chapter 32: The Fight Between the Hind and the Cobra (3)
The Hinds have two TV3-117 turboshaft engines with a maximum power of 1,640 kilowatts each, each of which normally produces only 1,200 kilowatts of power, and if damaged in battle, the other will operate at maximum power to allow the aircraft to continue flying.
In battle, damage to one engine is not uncommon, but it is not so common for both engines to be damaged at the same time.
This time it can't be said to be damaged, it's just that the engine has inhaled too much smoke, causing it to stop, as long as it starts again.
However, starting in the air is definitely not like a car ignition, just twist the key.
Wind speed, wind direction, various external conditions, and important reference conditions for the restart of the engine. And at this moment, even if these conditions are met, Mehad will not be in time, because, the violent roll just now caused the plane to lose energy, and now, it is only a dozen meters above the ground.
The height of more than ten meters is an embarrassment for all helicopter pilots.
If the altitude is high enough, then the aircraft can continue to rotate under the action of the air flow during the landing process, and this rotation will weaken the strength of the aircraft's descent, and the rotors will provide tension to allow the aircraft to gradually slow down the fall and save the lives of the occupants.
If it is lower, relying on the helicopter's anti-crash ability, the landing gear, and the seat can cushion part of the force, and finally escape from death.
As a helicopter pilot, the greatest sorrow is that there is no parachute. If you eject and escape, the overhead rotors will unceremoniously slice the pilot to a pulp.
The hind was falling rapidly, and the childish smiling face of his daughter appeared in front of Mehard's eyes.
"Poof!" There was no loud explosion, and Morsant was surprised to find that the plane had crashed into a cloud of mud, miraculously surviving, and there was no explosion.
Allah bless the warriors of Iraq! Mehad opened his eyes, and for the rest of his life, he thanked Allah Almighty.
Rasul and Shamsdin watched the huge body of the hind fall straight down, and knew that they had finally achieved a downing result, although the helicopter was not shot down by themselves with missiles, but with the smoke of missiles, they also felt satisfied, even if they could not survive, it was enough!
Now, they are immediately facing a desperate situation.
Seeing a small cobra recklessly attacking the helicopters of his formation, Hariri was already furious, and he took the formation and immediately turned to the three directions of the cobra.
Be sure to get rid of this cobra!
At the tail of the Cobra was Shaheed's No. 4, which was the most advantageous position, so he took the lead in attacking.
An AT-2 anti-tank missile, dragging a long tongue of fire, broke away from the short wings of the hind and, with a vengeful fury, flew towards the lone cobra.
Revenge for machine three! Shaheed let the front weapon crew launch the missile, but he was not satisfied, this kind of missile attack tank with poor mobility effect is good, for helicopters that can maneuver quickly, especially can go straight up and down, there is a danger of missing the target at any time.
If you miss the target, then come to a powerful onet, fight bayonet in the air!
Rasul and Shamsdin knew that the two were in big trouble, and it could be that in the next second, the two would disappear from this world.
However, as long as there is hope, we must do our best!
Rasul was doing a serpentine maneuver crookedly, trying in vain to get rid of the attack of the enemy's missiles, although he knew that it was in vain, the other side had three helicopters, and he could get rid of the first and second by luck, but could he still get rid of the third and fourth?
"Release the distraction!" Rasul said.
Shamsteen pressed the button, and suddenly, on the side of the fuselage, several infrared jamming bombs were fired.
(The Soviet Mi-24 Hind helicopter gunship was not equipped with an L-006 Birch radar warning device and four ASO-2V02 infrared jamming bomb launchers, each loaded with 32 tracer rounds, until the latter part of the war in Afghanistan, when it was constantly facing Stinger missile attacks.) Therefore, Iraq's Hind does not have jamming bombs, while Iran's Cobra is equipped with infrared jamming bombs where it is equipped, because the US military has always attached importance to electronic warfare capabilities, and the helicopters exported to Iran, which is still in the honeymoon period, are almost all models that do not shrink. )
The AT-2 anti-tank missile is also guided by infrared, and in this era, the accuracy of infrared-guided missiles is still not high, and even the situation of chasing the sun often occurs, where the heat source is large, it will be chased.
So, as soon as the jamming bomb was released, the missile immediately tracked the trajectory of a jamming bomb and was led away from the back of the Cobra.
Rasuldun's confidence has greatly increased, and there are a total of 64 jamming bombs, and if he saves a little use, he may be able to use the opponent's missiles. When the time comes, there will still be a chance to escape.
That missile was meant to amuse you, but now it's the real thing. Shaheed had already closed the distance to the Cobra by this time, close enough to shoot with a cannon!
The purpose of launching the missile just now is to make the opponent keep making serpentine maneuvers, so that the opponent's speed will slow down and he can catch up with the opponent.
Missiles are not reliable in the first place, but machine guns are not.
Under the big mouth of the hind, it is equipped with a 12.7mm four-barreled "Catlin" machine gun, with 700 rounds of ammunition, this machine gun fires, the sound is all day long, between every four bullets, there is an armor-piercing bullet, an incendiary bullet, hitting the opponent's soft underbelly, it can definitely hit the opponent into a volley.
"Suddenly, suddenly", the stag's mouth finally spat out a tongue of fire, and poured bullets at the cobra in front of her.
"Bang, bang." Suddenly, the back of the cobra was pierced through several holes, but fortunately, it was a non-vital part.
Accelerate, dive! Rasul knew that if he was constantly hit by bullets, even if the key parts were already covered with armor, he would not be able to withstand the opponent's fire, and now, only accelerated dive could reduce the probability of being hit by the opponent.
Rasul pressed down the pole hard.
I knew you were going to do this! Shahid followed and dived, and this time, the bullet hit the opponent's propeller with a thud.
"Aim for the rotor reducer and torque conversion below." Shahid said to the weapon cutter in front of him. The rotors are protected by armor and are not easily damaged, but the mechanical devices under the rotors are more fragile.
At this time, the 01 and 02 machines on both sides, and the two hinds also approached the Cobra, and the turrets below could rotate left and right, and they flew side by side and shot at the same time. The bullets from the three helicopters all hit the Cobra together.
Three to one, still can't beat down?
Rasul was anxious, he couldn't escape, so let's kill another one! He kicked the rudder hard and slammed into the hind next to him.
Even if the two helicopters are close to a distance of 50 meters, they are already quite dangerous, and as long as the rotors overhead collide, it will be a tragedy of plane destruction and death.
Now, Rasul just wants to collide with the other party, and if he collides with the next one, then he will die worthily!
At this moment, with a "boom", the Cobra's fuel tank was the first to be hit by the 02 machine on the right.
Rasul only felt a burst of fire coming from behind him, and then, he was entangled in the fiery sensation, and lost consciousness for a moment.
Killed this cobra that suddenly came out, haha is very strange, the other party is drilling here, what are you going to do?
Maybe there is a mystery hidden in this swamp. However, now that it has just rained heavily, the opponent's armored group, even if it has great ability, cannot fly.
Half of the fuel has been depleted, and Hahari decides to return.
Today's battle, on the surface, is one-to-one, but everyone knows that in this air battle between helicopters, they have failed, their own four helicopters, the opponent's one, Leng was attacked by the other side, killed one, lost two pilots, plus two additional rescuers.
Flying to the place where the plane crashed just now, Jaber first saw that the crashed hind did not explode, but plunged headlong into the swamp, and on top of the huge rotors, a person was standing on it and waving at him.
They didn't die!
People who have experienced the war will care about the surnames of their comrades-in-arms, and now, how can they not be happy to see their comrades-in-arms alive.
