Chapter 1118 Attack on AWACS
readx;
However, Sartre knows that this kind of multi-target attack capability seems to be very per second, so that one Israeli fighter can engage two of its own fighters at the same time, and because they have a longer range of white spoons, it means that they will attack first, but its disadvantages are also very obvious......
Its radar, Bi Jing is not an electrically swept phased array radar, the flat slot radar still needs to be rotated, and in the initial stage of the missile's flight, the radar is needed to provide it with electromagnetic signals. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
If the target is only an airplane, then it can always be launched in the direction of the target by changing the direction of the line and turning the fuselage at the same time. However, if missiles are fired at two targets at the same time, then the two targets will be able to break away from the field of view of the other party's radar as long as they are separated from two different directions at a large angle, so that the opponent can only abandon one target and track only one target, or both targets will miss the target.
Sartre's improvisation verifies such a truth, in air combat, early warning aircraft are very important, excellent commanders, even more important, if Sartre does not have this knowledge, then, very likely, they white spoon early warning aircraft, will suffer losses.
As soon as the two Mirage 4000 planes flew in both directions, Jon immediately recognized the risks involved, and he had to make a choice, whether to abandon one of them, track only the other, or both?
He immediately made his choice and gave up two goals!
Because, now his course is in the direction of the AWACS aircraft, in such a tight time, he must shoot down the opponent's AWACS aircraft, although he did not shoot down the two escort fighters, but they were dispersed by himself, flying in a direction away from himself, which gave himself a good opportunity.
The F15 fighter turned on the afterburner and continued to accelerate forward.
The two targets were moving rapidly towards the edge of the radar screen, and large red letters appeared on the screen, indicating that the opponent was about to miss the target.
Jon didn't pay attention to it, he only noticed that the bright spot in the center of his radar screen, the distance was gradually shrinking, and under the wings, the other two missiles were ready for launch.
Eighty kilometers, seventy kilometers, sixty kilometers, in the process of tail chasing, there are fifty kilometers, and it can fully play a role.
At this time, the other two missiles have been unlocked.
However, the target you need most is already within your range!
Two missiles in a salvo, be sure to knock down the opponent's AWACS aircraft!
Sartre realized the serious mistake he had made, although he commanded two escort fighters to get rid of the other party's missile attack, but their original task was not completed on the 1st, because their white spoon mission was to escort their own early warning aircraft!
The AWACS aircraft is modified from a transport aircraft, and its maneuverability is already low, but it has been modified and equipped with large plates and other equipment, and its aerodynamic performance is even worse, so as long as it is targeted by a missile, there is basically no possibility of escape.
Although AWACS aircraft are also equipped with infrared decoy bombs, platinum strips and other things, they can play a very small role against modern high-performance radars. The two Mirage 4000s have already flown more than a dozen kilometers to both sides, and when they turn around, before they reach the range of the missile, the AWACS aircraft has been tracked by the opponent's missile, and when they launch the missile, the AWACS aircraft has been shot down by the missile!
The captain in front had increased the engines of the aircraft to the maximum, but the aircraft was in a very dangerous situation according to the 1st.
A smile welled up in Jon's eyes, and he put his finger on the button on the lever and pressed it.
However, in the next second, his face had already changed, and the missiles under the wings did not react!
AIM120 is an advanced medium-range air-to-air missile, and some of its launch procedures are not the same as those of AIM7, and although Israel has obtained this missile, they have not been trained to use it, but they have been exposed to the manual of this missile during these two years.
So, Jon didn't know that he had made a mistake, he had just used a multi-target attack method, and now it was two salvos to hit one target, so a switch in the weapon control gate needed to be flipped up, but, in such an urgent situation, Jon forgot the essentials of this operation.
As a result, for the missile, it is still thought that they are going to attack two targets at the same time, and the second target has not yet completed the lock, so although there is a locked screen on the interface, the missile will not be launched.
Jon made such a mistake and lost the best chance to launch a missile, and in the current air combat, a few seconds can make the difference between life and death.
The Itodu in the AWACS aircraft seemed to sense that death was approaching them, and the Israeli plane had already flown fifty kilometers away from them, and he would definitely launch missiles! And, just after hearing the sound of locking, it almost means that the death knell is sounded.
However, after waiting for a few seconds, they did not find a bright spot representing the missile on the radar screen, the plane continued to approach them, and their two escort fighters had reached a position where they could launch medium-range bombs.
Jon was depressed, and for him, he only thought of one word, mechanical failure!
Although Israel's ground crew members are very dedicated and excellent, they have never maintained this kind of missile, so the mounting of these missiles, as well as the help of the United States, however, compared to Israel, the attitude of the United States may not be serious enough, resulting in the mechanical failure of these two missiles, which is the most fatal thing. Of course, Jon didn't know, he was actually completely to blame for this, the United States knew the current situation in Israel, these missiles, but they were completely tested, and there was no problem.
However, whether it was a mechanical failure or an operational error, Jon will never know.
Even if the missile could not be launched, Jon did not give up, he wanted to continue to get closer, close enough to use the Sidewinder missile, he could use the short-range missile he carried, and the AWACS aircraft was destroyed.
As long as he can launch the missile, his task, even if it is completed, the Sidewinder missile will definitely not need radar to provide beam guidance.
As for the possibility of being knocked out by the two escort fighters who had already turned back, Jon didn't care.
At this time, the first Edley's fighter plane that went out had been sniped, he shot down a Mirage 4000, and the remaining Mirage 4000 fighter was also coming quickly, and they all needed to protect their AWACS aircraft.
Jon didn't have any ideas, he just wanted to use the two Sidewinder missiles he was carrying to complete his mission this time.
……… Two Israeli F16 fighter jets, passing through the southern region of Israel, entered Saudi airspace in the Gulf of Aqab, and under the wings, two laser-guided bombs were aimed at a Saudi long-range radar station deployed here.
In a flash of fire, the radar station was destroyed.
Subsequently, Israeli warplanes have begun to make large-scale sorties into Saudi airspace, and their white spoon target is the air base on the Heisma Plain.
Since Iraq's AWACS aircraft were in the northernmost part of Jordan at this time, although they could also monitor the area, the effect was not the best.
After the radar station was blown up, Israeli fighters flying at ultra-low altitudes would hide their tracks and then wipe out the air base.
The Iraqi and Saudi air forces, from which they could directly support the Sinai Peninsula and the Gaza Strip, had to blow up the base.
However, they did not know that the actions of the Saudi Air Force were also very rapid. An E3 AWACS aircraft of the Saudi Air Force that took off from the Khail area is rushing here, and they have taken over the command of the Ericsson Divine Eye AWACS aircraft and are responsible for directing the air battle in the south.
Iraq's ongoing C3I system integration work has played a huge role at this time, because of the data link, so the Saudi Air Force's AWACS aircraft can directly command the battle of Iraq's aircraft fleet.
At the same time, an AWACS aircraft from southern Israel also took off, taking charge of the combat of the Israeli Air Force.
Another air battle between the two sides under the command of AWACS aircraft officially began to be staged, and the battlefield was in the skies over Saudi Arabia.
At the same time, on the Jordanian border, the Israeli air force also began to invade.
This time, Israel almost searched for money and dispatched nearly 150 warplanes, which is also the principle of their white spoon operation, as long as it is dispatched, it must act more thoroughly!
Destroy the Arab air power into it!
At 10 o'clock in the evening of July 5, large-scale air battles broke out in various regions, and the Israel, which had been humiliated several times in a row, broke out again, and they dispatched all their warplanes to engage in a desperate struggle with the Arabs.
This time, they will not be attacked by hackers again, the two sides are fighting on a completely equal degree, and Israel is fully confident that even if the other side has AWACS aircraft, it will take air supremacy!
They are working hard because the situation in Israel is so critical that they have to resort to this way to save their fate.
Even if you die, you have to shoot down one more plane of the other party!
Jon still didn't finish his mission in the end, and just as he had reached the launch position, there was already an explosion from the tail, and a flash missile hit his cockpit accurately, and he had no chance to parachute.
He didn't know that, in fact, as long as he flicked that little switch, he had successfully completed the task and was able to get out of the way.
The AWACS aircraft returned to safe airspace and continued to direct the battle of its own fighters. Israeli planes have entered Jordanian airspace.
