Chapter 332: Gasp
Side-turning is a common method in the face of pulse-Doppler radar, when it turns to the direction of the radar beam radial, it will be filtered out by the opponent's radar as clutter, and the opponent's radar will naturally be unlocked.
When evading the Immortal Bird just now, it did not use this method, because the Immortal Bird missile flew by inertia at the initial stage, and climbed to an altitude of 30,000 meters, and it continued to be guided by the carrier aircraft in the middle and late stages.
In addition to the perverted immortal bird, other medium-range missiles all need the radar irradiation of the carrier aircraft throughout the whole process, after all, the semi-active seeker is like this, its own carrier aircraft emits a radar beam, illuminates the target aircraft, and returns to the missile's seeker to provide guidance for several times.
Turn sideways!
Six Mirage 4000 fighters turned in unison, unbeknownst to them, their every move was being monitored by Pakistan's AWACS aircraft.
After receiving the instructions of the AWACS aircraft, the Tomcat fleet immediately turned sideways, in short, not letting the direction of the opponent be perpendicular to its own beam, and the target was still successfully locked on the radar screen.
After two side turns in a row, the sound of the locked in the headset was still ringing, and Naya knew that the Pakistani fighter on the opposite side was too cunning! If you can't get out of the lock, you can only use the tactics you just used and fly to the opposite side!
Naya really wants to transplant the Soviet Union's R-27 missiles, if the Mirage 4000 can launch R-27 missiles, they don't have to be so passive, they can launch their own medium-range missiles at the same distance, forming a counter-fire, the performance of the R-27 missile, is definitely not worse than the Sparrow.
And now, Naya can only curse the advanced fighter with the pit daddy's missiles. While pushing the nose of the aircraft, it is like flying in a position.
The distance is rapidly approaching, and as long as you dodge this round of blows, your side will enter a sufficient distance, whether it is firing medium-range or close-range rounds. It's all certain.
The Sparrow missiles are constantly flying, and the sound of the radar warning receiver in the headset is getting sharper and sharper, and when the sound inside begins to count down, it is the decisive time.
In later generations, the technology of missiles was more mature, and it was almost impossible to dodge the incoming missiles, as long as they were locked, they almost meant being shot down. And now. Dodge missiles, there is still a chance!
Naya took a deep breath, and as the missile flew in, he chose to push the lever and send the fighter into a dive.
The blood in the whole body is pouring towards the head, just now, and now. The blood thought about it, and the feet began to tingle. And the head, because of the excessive congestion, is swollen uncomfortably, and the eyeballs are about to bulge out.
"Boom!" Explosions can be heard in the distance, and Naya knows that one of her fighters has been shot down.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
With all their might, the Indian pilots did not have the good luck of last time. Three missiles hit the Mirage 4000 fighter, one was shot down and the other two were damaged.
The wounded fighter withdrew from the battle, and the remaining three Mirage 4000s finally approached within twenty kilometers!
It's time for the Pakistan Air Force to taste its own awesomeness! The remaining Mirage 4000 fighters. In the process of continuing level flight, the launch of the Matra Super 530F missile began.
Radar beams illuminate each other! Doppler mode, locked! Just as they were methodically preparing, on the radar screen, there was a snowflake.
The EC-130H electronic jammer implements enhanced jamming in the corresponding band!
The Saudi Air Force was also equipped with the same Mirage 4000, and when the first Mirage 4000 entered service, Pakistani technicians began to study this type of fighter, especially the advanced airborne radar claimed by the French, and measured the number in various modes. This radar, which the French are very proud of, is still the same as the fighters of the Soviets, using an inverted Cassegrain antenna, this kind of radar is too easy to jam!
When all the power of the jammer is used to jam the Mirage 4000's radar, no matter what anti-jamming measures they take, they are ineffective.
Modern air warfare is a confrontation of systems!
The Indian Air Force was so depressed that it vomited blood, and paid the price of more than half of the casualties to get close to the distance where it could launch medium-range missiles, and now, they are unable to guide their own missiles!
That's not afraid, although the other side has six fighters, there are only 3 left on your side, and you are not afraid!
Because, the Mirage 4000 fighter carries the latest French Magic 2 missile! This missile, which has just completed the matching with the Mirage 4000, was exported to India along with the fighter plane.
The Indian Navy's Sea Harrier fighters are not yet able to launch this missile, and can only be the old Magic 1 missile.
It also has omnidirectional attack capabilities and can be fired head-on! The Magic 2 missile is not at all worse than the American Sidewinder missile! Apart from... Handicap on the maximum range.
The maximum range is mainly the technology of rocket engines, and in this regard, the United States is still advanced.
Naya's eyes were fixed on the fighter plane flying opposite.
At this moment, the six Tomcat fighters on the opposite side actually turned at a very small angle and flew towards the rear!
Pakistanis are fleeing?
Faced with this situation, Naya was very depressed, and when the two sides were close enough to fire their own fighting bullets, the other party actually fled in fear!
There is no other way, chase!
The Tomcat's wings swept back to the maximum, and the engine thrust was fully open, pushing the fighter, quickly breaking through the sound barrier, climbing high and accelerating at the same time.
The Mirage 4000 in the back is also a twin engine with strong thrust, but the M53 engine is a single rotor, and it takes a process of adaptation from cruising to afterburner.
In this process of adaptation, the Mirage 4000 fell behind, although the delta wing was originally suitable for high-altitude and high-speed flight, but its engine dragged down the acceleration of the fighter.
The tomcat fleet on the opposite side was divided into three twin aircraft formations, fleeing in three directions, and Naya seemed to smell the smell of conspiracy.
The other side clearly wants to separate its three fighters and fight separately, if they chase separately, then they can only chase two of them, and if they only chase two of them, the other four fighters will converge in a certain airspace and then fly over to attack their own side.
What to do?
One chases two, and that's not afraid of him! As long as you are at this distance, you can launch your own magic missile, and the opponent also gives your ass to yourself, which is simply the best opportunity to shoot!
Naya gave the order, and three Mirage 4000s, each chasing a target.
Afterburner flight can't last, Naya looked at the Tomcat fighter in the distance, and his speed suddenly slowed down, knowing that his opportunity had arrived.
Chase, keep chasing, and launch the magic missile!
The range of the Magic 2 missile of 10 meters is a head-on attack, and this kind of tail pursuit attack will not exceed 5 kilometers, so he has to get closer!
The engine of the Mirage 4000 fighter continued to drive the afterburner, and the strong thrust of the M53 engine made the Mirage 4000 closer and closer to the other party.
Ten kilometers, eight kilometers, six kilometers... Just as he was about to launch the missile, the Tomcat fighters in front suddenly separated, one flying into the sky and the other down.
Chase the one below! Naya pushed the nose of the plane, and the Mirage 4000 followed downward, and the potential energy turned into kinetic energy, and in the howl of the nose piercing the air, the fighter caught up with the opponent.
Launch the missile!
The performance of the Magic 2 air-to-air missile is excellent, and it can still launch missiles when the carrier aircraft is doing a large overload maneuver!
The seeker of the Magic 2 missile, accurately tracking the flame of the tail nozzle of the fighter in front, this is a good heat source, against the background of the sea surface, this heat source is even more obvious, it will definitely not miss the target!
The Magic 2 missile was confident that it could shoot down Pakistani fighters, but alas, it did not complete its mission, and at the next moment, it went blind.
The powerful xenon lamp shone on the seeker of the Magic 2, and the Magic 2 missile lost its target in an instant, and its eyes were pitch black.
Naya didn't look at the results of this missile, and when the Magic 2 was fired, he immediately pulled the head, turned on the afterburner, and began to climb upward.
And a second Tomcat fighter! Just flew high into the air!
Sure enough, after pulling it up, the Mirage 4000 fighter, seeing the target, had actually climbed to an altitude of more than 20,000 meters!
With its powerful engine, the Mirage 4000 has a thrust-to-weight ratio of more than 1 after burning half a tank of fuel, and can climb effortlessly.
Wait, Tomcat fighter! Naya piloted the Mirage 4000, constantly climbing.
Wait, why isn't there an explosion coming from below?
Through the wide bubble seat, Naya turned her head back, only to see that it was the Tomcat fighter following him!
Damn it! Didn't the French preach how powerful their Magic 2 missiles were? How did you miss the target? Naya took one last look at the Tomcat fighter in the sky and decided to get rid of the fighter behind him first.
Swoop! The nose pointing ability of the Mirage 4000 is very good, and the instantaneous hovering ability is very strong, and he is sure that he can throw off the opponent in a rapid dive, and even get the opportunity to launch missiles.
At this moment, there was a sudden violent shaking in the tail of the fighter, and then, on the front panel, the red warning light flashed.
The engine is off!
The flames in the tail are gone, and the two M53 engines can't stand Naya's high-intensity pulling and diving, and there is a severe surge.
Looking at the dispowered fighter, Rick's eyes were full of murderous energy, and he used his last Sidewinder missile to easily lock onto the other party. This is a tactic that was practiced with the Saudi Air Force, and it was specially designed to dig traps for the Mirage 4000!
Surge, the weak point of the M53 engine of the Mirage 4000!
Rattlesnake, launch! (To be continued......)
