In the air battle here, the MiG-29 fighters have begun to break away, obviously, they are all decoys, and the attack of the MiG-31 is the real attack.

Watching the two missiles fly closer and closer, the personnel on the AWACS aircraft and the jammer aircraft are also full of nervousness, what's going on? What's going on? How is it that the missiles that could have been easily jammed last time have not been affected in any way this time?

In Mhammad's mind, he reacted instantly for a second or two, and immediately realized that the Soviets had changed the seeker! This time, the missile that flew in was no longer a semi-active radar guidance, but an anti-radiation seeker!

Your own early warning aircraft and jammers are all strong sources of electromagnetic radiation, and the other side discovers your own based on this!

"Turn off all sources of radiation at once, turn off the radar, stop the jammer!" "It's anti-radiation missiles flying!" Mhammad said. ”

Anti-radiation missiles, missiles designed to hunt AWACS and jammers!

Hearing Mhammad's words, the personnel in the air immediately reacted, the radar was turned off, the jammer turned off, and then, the captain made a large maneuver and flew towards a low altitude.

Both aircraft are propeller aircraft with decent performance at low altitudes.

The two missiles in the high altitude were still flying forward, and they didn't seem to notice anything wrong, so they continued to fly for more than ten seconds, and then exploded in the sky.

Sure enough, it's an anti-radiation missile!

The battle is over, two MiG-29s were shot down, and the Tomcat fighter also lost one, this ratio, is already amazing, you know, since the Tomcat fighter equipped the Pakistan Air Force, almost all of them were one-sided victories.

Colonel Glitter, who had parachuted to the ground, and his radar officer were rescued and stood in the conference room again, their faces gloomy.

"This time, we encountered a new fighter plane from the Soviets." "This is the third generation fighter of the Soviets," Mhammad said. It is no longer the kind of aircraft with backward electronic equipment and insufficient maneuverability as before, and in today's air combat, we have suffered some losses, and at the same time, we must also find shortcomings. Come up with ways to overcome the odds and defeat them in the next battle. ”

"The first problem we have to solve is how to get out of lockdown by the other side." "We have the advantage of long-range missiles, but in this battle, they were freed from our pulse-Doppler radar, so we couldn't lock onto them, and the four immortal bird missiles fired in front of us were all flying," Hussain said. ”

Radar warning receiver for the MiG-29. It was impossible to detect the radar signal of the AWG-9, which was tracking the variable scanning state, and the reason why they found the Tomcat fighter on the opposite side of the aircraft launching the Immortal Bird missile was because the phased array radars of the two MiG-31 aircraft behind them found echoes.

Moreover, with the command of the MiG-31, they can easily go in the lateral direction, get rid of the lock, let them temporarily disappear on the radar screen.

"I have a solution." Rick said, "Next time, when we lock down again." They're definitely going to continue to steer out of lockdown, and we immediately followed suit. As long as the angle is not 90 degrees, it will not be filtered out by radar as clutter. ”

Follow the steering? Hearing Rick's words, Glitter couldn't help but shake his head: "What kind of tactic is this?" We, the US Navy, have never used it. ”

"We haven't used it either, but as long as we are under the command of AWACS, we can follow the steering in time. It should be possible to avoid the missile from unlocking. Rick said, "Colonel Glitter, do you have a better way?" ”

In addition to phased array radar, any pulse-Doppler radar has this shortcoming, which is determined by the principle of pulse-Doppler radar. It can't be avoided.

Colonel Glitter had no other way, and he could only bow his head in the face of Rick's questioning.

"The second problem is the MiG-29's helmet sight and large off-axis combat bullets, which put us in danger in combat." Hussein continued, remembering that in the air battle, he was almost shot down, it was really a thread, the maneuverability of the opponent's fighter was not inferior to the Tomcat fighter he piloted, it did not fall behind in vertical maneuvering, it circled horizontally, and it was only a little worse than his own fighter, and the Soviets have made great progress in fighter aircraft in recent years.

Hearing Hussein's words, Glitter was also gloomy, he was also hit by the opponent's big off-axis fighting bullet, and the performance of the AIM-9L was worse than that of the opponent in close combat.

"We try to use the tactics of medium-range air combat and not get caught up in close combat." Rick said, saying this, it seems that he has lost his ambition a little, and if he doesn't fight in close combat, is it still called a fighter? But the threat is real.

"We can outrun them in horizontal circles, our steady dìng circling radius is smaller than theirs, we can cut the radius to chase them and kill them!" Glitter said suddenly.

"We need better performance grappling bullets." "Right now, we are facing the most advanced fighter jets of the Soviet Union that outpace us in technology, and we need the help of our American allies," Mhammad said. ”

Mhammad was acutely aware that this was a good opportunity, and that the aggressive posture of the Soviets was both a challenge and an opportunity.

In particular, the US Navy Colonels in front of them have all been shot down, and the Americans will certainly not be resigned to such a defeat, this is an opportunity for the Americans to be convinced that their weapons are more advanced than those of the Soviets.

"We have just been equipped with AIM-9M missiles, and I will apply to my superiors to transfer this kind of missile." Glitter said.

The AIM-9M missile is improved on the basis of the AIM-9L missile, for example, it has an infrared search system with a closed slot cooling system, so that there is no need for the carrier aircraft's cryogen, mounting, launching, it is very convenient, at the same time, the seeker's anti-jamming ability is stronger, although the off-axis launch ability is still not as good as the R-73, but it is the latest combat missile in the United States, the powerful AIM-9X in later generations, and has not yet begun pre-research.

"Thank you very much for the support of our allies." "With this missile, we can better meet the Soviets," Mhammad said. ”

These missiles, Mhammad immediately regarded as the support of the Americans, and it was impossible to get Pakistan to pay, and now in this situation, the Americans will definitely be willing to test the performance of the AIM-9M missiles in actual combat.

"Now, I have a new tactic in mind." "The next time we meet the MiG-29 fleet of the Soviets, we can use new tactics to eliminate them," Mhammad said. ”

Destroy them? Is there such a god? Glitter listened to Mhammad's words, and gradually, his eyes widened.

Although two MiG-29s were lost, a Tomcat was shot down, which was already a victory for the Soviet side, they broke the myth of the invincibility of the Tomcat fighters, got rid of the shooting of the undead birds, and moreover, took out the opponent's fighters in close combat!

Had it not been for one of the low-altitude dives that escaped the R-73's shot, they would have had two wins.

The MiG-29 is a successfully designed fighter that can fully compete with the main fighters of the Americans' aircraft carrier formations!

Three days later, another air raid began.

Two MiG-29 four-plane formations, still lined up in dense formations, fifty kilometers behind them, MiG-31s act as AWACS aircraft, as well as the force of long-range killing, in addition to these formations, behind them, there is a Tu-16 electronic jammer.

It's not just the Americans who have jammers, they also have them! This time, they have new preparations, so that those medium-range missiles of the other side will also be ineffective in the interference!

Faced with the Soviets' crossing of the border, the fighters at Peshawar Air Base immediately took off, and a four-plane formation flew towards the Soviets' plane formation.

The Tu-16 jammer is ready to aim exclusively at the radar signal of the AWG-9 and will begin jamming at maximum power as soon as the opponent's radar is turned on.

At the same time, the MiG-29 formation also began to accelerate, leaning up, as long as they used lateral maneuvers to get rid of the opponent's lock and enter close combat, they did not fall behind at all.

Turning on the afterburner R33 engine, black smoke was emitting from the tail, and the MiG-29 broke through the sound barrier and continued to accelerate.

One hundred and fifty kilometers, one hundred and twenty kilometers, one hundred kilometers, eighty kilometers ... Just when the MiG-29 was about to attack with its own R-27 missiles, the four fighters on the opposite side suddenly turned, accelerated, and actually fled backwards!

What's going on? The radar operator in the MiG-31 aircraft was suddenly surprised, isn't the Pakistan Air Force very capable of fighting? When did they begin to learn to run away before engaging in battle?

There must be a problem, there must be a problem!

The radar operator stared closely at his radar screen, and the phased array radar in front of it, which could detect targets at a distance of 200 kilometers, also had the ability to look down, which was the most advanced airborne radar in the Soviet Union.

Sure enough, he found that one hundred and eighty kilometers north of the formation, there was a four-plane formation at a low altitude, which was rapidly approaching!

Nine o'clock direction, one hundred and fifteen at a distance, four goals! He immediately passed the information to the MiG-29 fleet in front.

The Pakistanis wanted to carry out a sneak attack, but unfortunately they did not cooperate very tacitly! The pilot of the MiG-29 thought that in order to quickly pull the opponent out, he continued to turn on the afterburner and quickly meet the enemy with the formation, and he also had to do this, quickly closing the distance to close combat, so that they could have a chance to fight with the Tomcat fighter.

The MiG-29 fleet, which was dragging black smoke, quickly flew to the target, and at a distance of eighty kilometers, the other side turned in unison and flew away.

What's going on? The pilots of the MiG-29 began to smell some conspiracy. (To be continued......)
