The second round of medium-range air battles ended quickly, due to the dodging of the Pirate Flag squadron, none of the Sparrow missiles fired over hit, but the missiles fired by the opponent hit four Tomcat fighters! Two were shot down, the pilot parachuted, two were damaged, and the pilot struggled to operate the plane, wanting to leave the airspace of the war. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This result shocked Hughes very much, this kind of medium-range battle, whoever gives up first, will be passively beaten, but the Iraqi Air Force uses Soviet-made weapons, and the performance of medium-range air-to-air missiles is scum, how can there be such a strong combat effectiveness?

"Damn, the Soviets used infrared and radar-guided missiles together!" A voice on the radio cursed, if it weren't for the quick eye, he himself was shot down, and the wingman was angry.

The missiles of the United States use radar seeker, while the Soviet missiles, due to their poor performance, radar and infrared seeker are used at the same time, and the evasion of these two missiles is different.

At this time, the two sides were equal, they were all eight fighters, and four were scrapped in the mid-range dogfight, which made Xiuus extremely annoyed, and the two sides were still approaching each other rapidly, and soon, they were able to visually detect each other.

When he clearly saw that the two points had turned into outlines, Xiusi was stunned, damn it, wasn't that the Panda fighter flying?

He could already see the wide body, the dashing appearance, exactly the same as his own fighter plane!

How is this possible? Iraqi Air Force, when was it equipped with Tomcat fighters? And in the flash of light, Hughes understood, damn it, this is the Iranian fighter!

In the world, apart from the US Navy, only the Iranian Air Force is equipped with Tomcat fighters! If the Soviet Union got the Tomcat fighter and then copied it, and killed Xius, I don't believe it, the Soviets don't need to do that.

The Tomcats of the Iranians, except for the difference in the identification of friend or foe, the rest are exactly the same as those of the US Navy, without the slightest shrinkage! And now, these planes have become a big problem for the US Navy!

It's just that, after all these years of embargo, can the Iranians still maintain the combat effectiveness of these fighters? Moreover, aren't Iranians and Iraqis mortal enemies?

These problems are left to be solved later, and Theseus knows that the problem he faces now is how to defeat them!

"Two-plane formation, ready for fighting!" Hughes shouted over the radio.

Due to the high speed of jets, the airspace required for combat is large, and the two-plane formation is already the most suitable choice. Head-on, Hughes quickly switched the fire control to the Sidewinder missile while controlling the flight.

Although there is no gap between long-range and medium-range, however, in close-range combat, the Tomcat of the US Navy has an advantage, and this is the Sidewinder missile!

The Iranian Air Force operates the AIM-9J missile, which only has a certain omnidirectional attack capability, and when it is used, it is more of an attack in the rear hemisphere, while the US Navy's missile, which has been updated to AIM-9L, is fully equipped with omnidirectional attack capability, and the head-on attack capability is also very strong!

Therefore, this time the opposing fighters will definitely not have an advantage!

The distance between both sides was rapidly decreasing, and it was clear that they had turned on the afterburner, ready to accumulate more energy, looking at a Persian cat opposite, and Hughes pushed the nose of the plane, steadily tracking the other side, waiting for the signal of the Sidewinder missile's lock.

His finger has been pressed on the launch button, and as long as he locks on, he will be able to shoot his own missile!

At this time, the seeker of the AIM-9L missile is working hard, it only has a 30-degree viewing angle, so it needs the carrier aircraft to change its orientation in order to be able to provide guidance signals for its own seeker, and at this time, due to the difference in altitude and azimuth between the two sides, the seeker is working in the limit state, and it is difficult to track stably.

And at this moment, under the pylons of the wing box opposite, the fire flashed, and a missile flew over without warning!

How is this possible? In this case, the launch envelope of AIM-9J has long been exceeded, so isn't it possible that the other party has not locked it and launched it?

Amusing! Despite his extreme contempt in his heart, Theseus unleashed a heat flare, and then pulled his head out of it, and in air combat, to despise his opponent was not to take his own life seriously.

Pull up the nose of the plane, the wide belly blocks the heat flow, and the heat flare is enough to deflect the missile away!

But later, Hughes sensed that something was wrong, the missile was not deflected away by the flare at all, it was still flying in its own direction!

How is this possible! Flying from the opposite side, it was definitely not the AIM-9J missile!

At this moment, Hughes pushed the nose of the plane, and as he climbed and rotated, the standard poke roll, and the radar operator in the rear compartment, acting as an observer at this time, kept shouting, warning the missiles to fly closer and closer!

Barrel rolling can consume the energy of the opponent's missile, and the missile will consume more energy if it keeps correcting its direction, which is also a tactic to get rid of.

And the sharp overload made Xiusi feel that his body was at its limit, and at the moment of life and death, he exploded to his maximum potential.

The missile was still flying closer and closer, there was no sound in the rear compartment, and the radar officer might have fainted!

Leveling the plane again, Hughes continued to release a set of decoy bombs, at which point his plane's energy decayed sharply and its speed was reduced to a minimum.

The incoming missile, which finally lost its target, followed up with a decoy bomb and then blew itself up a few kilometers away.

Xius felt drenched all over, and there had never been such a situation in the previous confrontation drills.

Turning on the afterburner and continuing to let the fighter gain energy, Hughes looked at the flying Tomcat fighter with the symbol of the Iranian People's Air Force, which was flying from his left side, at this time, the opposite angle of the two sides had reached 40 degrees. The other party's eyes were always on Xiuth, and above the helmet, an additional device was constantly working, and then, on the pylons under the wing box, the fire flickered, and another missile was fired!

How is this possible! The off-axis launch angle reached forty degrees, what kind of perverted missile is this? Definitely not your own rattlesnake! Just after seeing the other party continue to launch missile attacks at an incredible angle, Theseus's heart was full of surprise and fear, his fighter plane had lost energy because of the maneuver just now, and now, can he dodge this infrared missile? It's all damn engines!

Pushing the nose, Hughes's Tomcat fighter, the wings swept back, dived down quickly, and now, it can only rely on altitude to exchange energy! (To be continued.) )
