Chapter 142: Attack
There are many disadvantages of the tube, such as the large size, the high power consumption, and the limited function, however, the advantages of the tube are still there, for example, the power is high!
After the Yak-28's SPS-1 and SPS-2 wideband clutter jammers were activated, strong electromagnetic interference filled the entire airspace in an instant. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As electromagnetic interference filled the entire airspace, all of a sudden, the pilots of the four F-4 fighters of the 201st flight team at the Chitose base in front of them instantly discovered that the situation was not good.
"Owl, owl, Chitose call owl." Warrant Officer Yamada, the pilot of the F-4 fighter, the pilot of the island nation who survived the last air battle, and the captain of the team this time, shouted over the radio.
The owl is the code name of the AWACS aircraft in the rear.
Unfortunately, nothing can be heard in the headphones except for the sound of stabbing and stinging.
Damn electromagnetic interference! Warrant Officer Yamada looked at the sea below, he had already flown out of the land of Hokkaido, and came to the Sea of Okhotsk on the east side of the Soya Strait.
Those American pilots who fly F-15 fighters are fine, their fighters are too maneuverable and have advanced missiles, but what about their own side? You can't beat the Soviets on the other side at all, and your mission this time is still a bait!
Thinking of his mission, Warrant Officer Yamada's enthusiasm for fighting was not high, and last time his three wingmen had been shot down, and his superiors said that he wanted revenge, so he was sent up again.
There are also American F-15 formations behind, I hope the American fighters will arrive soon! Warrant Officer Yamada knew that he was unwilling. You have to face the scalp too.
"The fox calls the owl, and the fox calls the owl." F-15 fighter formations in the rear. is also calling the early warning aircraft in the rear, and the same interference sound in the headset. Their contact with AWACS was broken.
The strong electromagnetic interference completely cut off the communication between the US side, that is, the entire 14 Flying Group, and the communication between each other had to be shouted at the top of their voices.
At this moment, the AWACS aircraft in the rear could not be counted on, and they would lose control of the airspace situation in front of them, but Nathaniel did not have too much to worry about. Although the other party is releasing electromagnetic interference, the APG-63 radar in front of him can still work normally!
The radar of the flat slot antenna, the beam of the radar wave radiated out is very concentrated, the side lobes are small, the degree of interference is very light, coupled with the digital processing system, there is not a single snowflake on the radar screen.
From here, some echoes of the radar can be seen. The other side has already dispatched two waves of fighters to intercept it.
The planes in front of them quickly climbed to 20,000 meters in height, which was obviously the MiG-25.
Although the AIM-7F Sparrow missile of its own side is advanced. But it could not reach the height of the MiG-25, and Captain Nathaniel shouted over the radio: "Fox hunting calls tomcats, fox hunting calls tomcats." ”
The MiG-25 was reserved for Tomcat fighters. Only the Tomcat fighter's Immortal Bird missile can reach such a high airspace.
But. The stabbing sound from the headphones announced the failure of contact. It is temporarily impossible to contact the carrier-based aircraft of the Navy!
"Attention, be wary of the MiG-25 at high altitude!" Nathaniel can only put his eyes back on the battlefield, air battles are measured in seconds, and his side must fight quickly!
"Attention, prepare to attack!" 23,000 meters in the air, the captain of a large group, Major Arshavin, the pilot of the No. 015 fighter, shouted over the radio.
Prepare to attack!
In the era of World War II, the higher the altitude of the aircraft, the more advantageous it was in air combat, because the potential energy was converted into kinetic energy when diving down from a high altitude, which greatly improved the maneuverability of the fighter.
Moreover, if you miss a hit, then go back to the sky, and the other party can't catch up!
Now, the MiG-25 fleet plans to adopt this high-altitude tactic to fight at the most advantageous altitude of its own, and if it goes down to maneuver with the F-15, it will be comparing its own shortcomings with the strengths of the other side.
Now, these improved MiG-25PD interceptors, using the RP-25 radar, have turned on the TP-26-SH1 forward-looking infrared search/tracking system (IRST) to search for F-15 fighters in the lower front.
This system works well on a sunny day, and at this time, according to the prompts of the rear AWACS aircraft, the IRST quickly intercepted the target.
The F-15 fleet on the opposite side was also wondering at this time.
As the radar continues to refresh the signal, it can be found that those MiG-25 fighters flying high in the air did not engage the F-4 fighters in front, they crossed the sky above the F-4 fighters, and continued to fly forward.
However, if the opponent wants to fight with you, then you should come down from the sky. Could it be that the other party is waiting for him to go up? Or is the opponent planning to cross their own lines and attack backwards?
What's behind? 200 kilometers away, there is its own AWACS aircraft, is it possible that the other side's target is the AWACS aircraft? It's just that with such a violent, eight planes came over, just to hit an early warning aircraft behind their own side, and some of them were too excited, right?
As the distance between the two sides gradually approaches, the APG-63 radar needs to tilt its head more and more to radiate the radar beam upward, and it will not be long before the angle limit of the gimbal of the radar is exceeded, and the target will be lost.
Unwillingly, it's all because of your own ceiling! Now, our F-15 fleet has risen to 18,000 kilometers, and there is still an altitude difference of five kilometers from the other side! Nathaniel was depressed when he heard a voice on the radio: "They're down!" ”
It's down! When the relative distance was close to 15 kilometers, the MiG-25 at an altitude of 23,000 meters began to dive downward, and at high altitude, the huge rudder surface of the MiG-25 pryed the nose of the aircraft to complete this dashing dive.
Attack, attack! Every pilot, at this time, has a thought in his heart, he must shoot down the F-15!
The IRST intercepted the target, locked on, and, at the same time, transmitted the target information to the R-60 missiles mounted under the wing.
Yes, during this take-off, the MiG-25 fighter did not carry medium-range R-40 missiles at all, and all R-60 combat missiles were used!
The huge size of the R-40 missile, poor maneuverability, it is okay to fight a bomber, and it is easy to miss the target when it hits the flexible F-15, so since it is an air battle with the F-15, at Andrei's suggestion, the R-40 missile is not mounted. (To be continued.) )
