Chapter 180: Long-range missile fire

What to do? The other party has completed the lock, and launched the missile, and the other side, there is no radar warning, that means that the other party is using a new type of radar!

At this point, it's too late to find out what kind of fighter is coming, and Rick needs to face a new problem, should he dodge, or continue to intercept?

The other side has the ability to attack multiple targets, and the three missiles are obviously aimed at their own three aircraft, one of which is aimed at themselves, if they don't dodge, then they will definitely be hit by one of the missiles, but if they dodge, they can't guarantee that they can dodge, and the EC-130H electronic jammer that they want to protect may not have the ability to dodge this missile.

There is no escaping! Rick made his choice in an instant, and said calmly, "Launch the Immortal Bird!" ”

"Phoenix Launch!" The radar officer in the rear compartment shouted, he had just made all the preparations, and now, listening to Rick's order, he immediately pressed the launch button.

An immortal bird missile, flying out from under the belly of the plane, dragged the flames, quickly advanced, and jumped into the air.

In terms of timing, Rick's missile was five seconds later than the other party, Mach 5, and these five seconds would be a distance of several kilometers, so if the speed of the missiles on both sides is comparable, Rick has not shot down the other party, and has already been shot down by the opponent's missile.

However, Rick had no choice, he had to do it, because the electronic jammer was further behind, and when he was hit by a flying missile, his immortal bird had already entered the final active flight phase, so he could save the jammer at the expense of himself.

Moreover, Rick doesn't have to die. He is Rick the Eagle, the best of the young pilots. He is an eagle in the sky!

After the semi-actively guided missile is launched, the carrier aircraft cannot make a large overload maneuver, but must fly smoothly, aim its radar at the opponent, and constantly provide guidance signals to the missile.

"They fired missiles! An immortal bird is flying towards us. "Inside the cockpit of the MiG-31. When Radar Officer Anatoly spotted the echo on the screen, he immediately reported it to the pilot in front of him.

It was said that the Pakistani pilots were crazy, and they didn't believe it before, but now, Anatoly finally believed it, knowing that his own side had already launched missiles, but the other side actually launched missiles at his own side instead of maneuvering and flying to dodge.

"The Pakistanis are looking for death for our missiles. Will shoot down their plane first. Gerhardt said: "Leave that missile alone, continue to guide our three missiles." ”

The radio was turned off because the electromagnetic interference over the battlefield was so strong that if the radio was turned on, the headphones would be full of noise.

Gotta knock that electronic jammer down! Gerhart didn't have the slightest worry, the one who launched first had the advantage, and his own missile would knock down the opponent's carrier aircraft first!

Phased array radar is different from mechanical radar in that its antenna does not have to be rotated. The phase shifter of each unit works through guò in this way. Various indicators such as refresh rate and intact rate are far more than ordinary airborne PD radars, but this kind of radar is relatively cumbersome, and was originally only used for long-range radar early warning, but now. This passive phased array radar on the MiG-31 was the only aspect in which the Soviet Union surpassed the United States, and the price was high.

The radar has 3,000 ferrite phase shifters, a frequency frequency band of 9 to 9.5 GHz, and frequency hopping immunity. When a source of interference is found. Automatically jumps to another frequency band.

The EC-130H jammed inside the aircraft.

"Fast, the interference power is the largest, the other side's radar band." The jammer commander shouted.

The SPASM jamming system is mainly used to interfere with the enemy's communication and navigation systems, and now, to interfere with the enemy's radar, it is necessary to adjust the frequency of the interference to the frequency of the opponent's radar.

The jammer is running at full power, and the jamming signal is concentrated in the radar band.

No matter how long the range of the opponent's missiles is, the initial stage must definitely be semi-active radar guidance, and interfering with their radar is the most appropriate way.

It's a pity that the performance of the phased array radar is too good, and although the jammer is running at full power, those missiles are still flying.

Another F-14 fighter has been flying on the side of the jammer, and at a critical time, this Tomcat will use its own body to block missiles for the jammer, which is their mission.

The early warning planes in the distance were nervously looking at those points of light and the missiles launched by both sides, almost passing by, and then the three missiles continued to fly towards their own planes.

"MiG-31, R-33 long-range missiles." At Peshawar Air Base, listening to the report of the radar soldiers, Mhammad had a calm expression on his face.

This kind of interceptor is the latest interceptor of the Soviets, that is, it has just finished its development, and now it has been sent to the battlefield in Afghanistan, which shows that its appearance has already changed history, and the Tomcat fighter is equipped with the Pakistan Air Force, which sternly stimulates the Soviets.

The two sides engaged in the first-ever long-range volley confrontation.

The air battle was very fast, even if it was long-range, it was only less than two minutes, and Rick the Eagle was the last to launch the missile, and his situation was the most dangerous.

Arslan is also paying attention to the situation on the battlefield, Arslan is more accepting of Western air combat thinking, giving the pilot the greatest autonomy, Rick is completely right to do this, however, he will face the most dangerous situation, watching his son experience danger in the air, although Arslan is very calm, but also full of concern in his heart.

"Continue full-band interference with maximum power." "The other side's missiles are guided by radio commands. ”

There was a mistake in the jammer, and it was very difficult to interfere with the phased array radar, even if it was not a phased array radar, which mainly used electronic tubes, and the Soviet radar with super power was difficult to be jammed, it was better to interfere with its radio commands.

Hearing Mhammad's order, the jammer immediately adjusted the jamming method.

Those missiles have already flown very close, and the first one, from Rick's Tomcat fighter, is only twenty kilometers away, more than ten seconds.

Rick's Tomcat fighter is still holding on, as long as it lasts for two more seconds, the immortal bird has already switched to the active radar guidance stage, and he can maneuver to get rid of it.

Rick was ready, as soon as the radar officer in the rear compartment gave a signal, Rick began to turn on the afterburner and fly towards the missile, and when the last two seconds were about to collide, Rick would immediately pull up and climb.

The radar officer in the aft compartment was highly nervous, and in order to allow the immortal bird to hit the target more accurately, he set a distance of fifteen kilometers before switching to the active radar stage.

"Three, two, one." The radar officer counts down: "OK, done!" ”

Hearing the radar officer's signal, Rick immediately turned on the afterburner and flew forward, this flight, he was fearless.

The wings swept back, accelerating, a rendezvous with death.

The AWG-9 radar was still running, picking up the signal of the missile flying from the opposite side.

Suddenly, the light flashed, followed, and fell.

"The incoming missile fell automatically, and the judgment was out of control." Said the radar officer.

Dropped? Rick with his back pressed against the seat under the tremendous acceleration, he turned off the afterburner, a thrilling maneuver to dodge the missile, and that was the end of it?

"The missile is out of control." In the cockpit of the MiG-31, Anatoly shouted: "Radio commands cannot be transmitted, strongly interfered with, immediately switch to passive radar mode." ”

The initial and middle stages of the R-33 missile adopt inertial guidance and radio command guidance, and at the end, the airborne radar provides a continuous wave guidance signal to guide the missile to hit the target. Now, when he found out that the missile had fallen, Anatoly knew that it had been interfered with by Yan Zhanng, and he had already known that he had adjusted the missile to enter the passive guidance mode earlier, and his advanced radar would not be interfered with.

Just as he flicked the knob, his eyes snapped into another bright spot on the radar screen.

Another missile flew over the other side! What's going on? The carrier aircraft has already made a maneuver flight, and this missile is unaffected! Is it active guidance?

There was no time to think about anything else, he shouted: "The missile is coming, it will arrive in three seconds!" ”

Without him having to count down, Gerhardt, who was in the front cabin, jerked the lever to the right.

Just when the missile was launched, he accelerated to its maximum speed, and after launching, turning off the afterburner, the speed of the fighter had already decreased.

Dodge that missile!

The Americans' fighters have long entered the era of pulse Doppler radar, dodging the opponent's missiles, mainly dodging the pulse Doppler radar, turning to the opponent's lateral flight, so that the other side will use its own fighters as clutter to filter out, this set of tactics, when Gelhart was still flying the MiG-25, has mastered the tactics skillfully.

Although this will lead the other two missiles to lose their targets, now he has no other choice, he must give it a try!

Unfortunately, he acted too late.

The weight of the MiG-31 exceeded that of the MiG-25, and the thrust of the engine was the key to this high-maneuver maneuver, and when he turned on the afterburner and turned quickly, he forgot that his position was high.

When the fighter turns left quickly, the airflow at the front end of the engine intake on the left side is blocked, which is an inevitable shortcoming of the fighter on both sides, the low-altitude air is dense, and there can be enough air to supply the engine, and at this high altitude, too little oxygen is inhaled, and the afterburner is turned on, more oxygen is needed, and in an instant, the engine exceeds the allowable limit, and a surge occurs.

Loss of left-engine power! The Immortal Bird missiles have flown in! (To be continued......)
