Chapter 337: Playing with You to Death
"South of Karachi, a hundred kilometers of sea, forty targets found!" The E-2 AWACS aircraft monitored the air battle in Teda over the east of Karachi, and at the same time had to guide their own A-7 fleet, the three of them were in a hurry, ignoring the threat from the south, until Rick came with the news that the Indians had a trick, they began to notice other airspace, and when the radar beam scanned the sea south of Karachi, they immediately searched for these flying fighters!
"Azazel receives." Rick's calm words on the radio calmed the mood of the AWACS personnel, and then, the bright spots on the screen representing his own side, flew quickly towards the sea.
The Tomcat's wings received the last of its best, and when the engine was turned on, the fighter quickly exceeded the speed of sound, accelerating to a maximum speed of more than Mach 2.
"Three squadrons, take off immediately and go to Karachi." Rick shouted over the radio, and the ten Tomcat fighters in reserve also began to take off rapidly.
Rick led his ten Tomcats and flew quickly towards the war zone, at this time, their immortal bird missiles had all been exhausted, and there were still two Sparrow missiles left in the middle range.
Their advantage, which is that the current Mirage 2000 fleet, has not been discovered at all.
The AWACS aircraft kept sending information that those Mirage 2000 fighters had approached a distance of 20 kilometers from Karachi and were about to start bombing, and the Tomcat fighters finally came to the range of the Sparrow missiles at a distance of 40 kilometers.
"Launch the Sparrow missile." Rick commanded, his radar officer, had quickly locked on to a Mirage 2000 with radar, and within a second, the Sparrow missile had flown out of the belly.
The Mirage 2000 is equipped with an omnidirectional warning receiver when receiving a signal from a radar warning machine. The Mirage 2000 fleet reacted instantly and was locked!
Twenty kilometers away from Karachi, and the city in the distance could be seen visually, Salim, the commander of the Mirage 2000 fleet, immediately gave an order: "Three squadrons, turn to intercept." Second squadron, keep bombing! All fighters, throw the auxiliary fuel tank! ”
Two large auxiliary fuel tanks were thrown away from the lower end of the wing, and the bulky auxiliary fuel tanks were discarded, and the Mirage 2000 fighters suddenly felt relaxed, and twenty Mirage 2000 fighters pounced in the direction of the Tomcat fleet.
Even if they are shot down, protect the bomber fleet in front of them!
Almost at the same time. Rick also continued to give orders: "A small team, entangle this group of fighters, and the rest, attack their bombers!" ”
The ones who pounced on them were definitely fighters, and the ones who continued to fly were definitely bombers with bombs, and they posed the greatest threat to Karachi.
The Sparrow missiles continue to fly. Among the missiles that have just been launched, there are six Sparrow missiles. They were all aimed at those bombers, and the remaining four locked on to the fighters behind.
The Sparrow missiles continued to fly, and the Mirage 2000 fighters were loaded with bombs, and their maneuverability dropped considerably when the missiles arrived. Four of the Mirage 2000s were shot down, two dropped their bombs, made a big maneuver to get rid of, one managed to get out, and the other was shot down.
The remaining fourteen Mirage fighters. Still flying in the direction of Karachi.
If they use the latest Mirage 2000H fighters, they can carry a large number of ground attack weapons, and even nuclear bombs, but this batch is only the initial model of the Mirage 2000, which cannot carry precision-guided weapons, only ordinary bombs, which allows them to only fly over the target before they can drop bombs.
Of the four Sparrow missiles that flew towards the Mirage fighters mounted on the battle, three were shot down, and one was maneuvered to get rid of.
Having received Rick's order, a small squad of two Tomcat fighters, without hesitation, approached the Indians' Phantom fighters and engaged them in an air battle, although they had only two, while the other side had seventeen, and they were not afraid.
Rick had no choice, even if the two Tomcats were shot down, he would go and take out the bombers first.
When the fleet of Tomcat fighters separated, the Mirage 2000 fighters wanted to launch missiles at them, but complex electromagnetic interference followed, and their on-board radars were jammed, so they could only use the Magic 2 missiles at close range after getting closer.
Ten kilometers away, the Tomcat fleet roared by, and without exchanging fire with them, Salim immediately ordered ten Mirage 2000 fighters to turn around and intercept the Tomcat fighters, and the remaining seven planes pounced on the two Tomcat fighters who came to intercept them.
"The Indians have turned and chased after them!" The radar officer in the back shouted to Rick.
"Leave them alone, keep firing Sparrow missiles!" Rick ordered.
Now, the two sides are twenty kilometers apart, and they can still shoot the last medium-range Sparrow missile.
The Mirage 2000 has a high instantaneous rotation rate of 30 degrees per second, which allows it to steer rapidly, but as it turns, it begins to lose speed rapidly. When the steering was complete, the Mirage 2000 turned on the afterburner and began a slow acceleration.
Yes, it is to accelerate slowly, because the engine thrust of this fighter is small, and its horizontal acceleration performance and climb performance are at the bottom of the third-generation aircraft. For example, at an altitude of 5,000 meters, it takes 50 seconds to increase from Mach 0.7 to Mach 1.3, and at an altitude of 10,000 meters, it takes 184 seconds to increase from Mach 1 to Mach 2. It is at an altitude of 500 meters and has a climb rate of 180 meters per second.
The Tomcat fighter only takes 75 seconds to accelerate from a standstill to Mach 1.8.
Therefore, when these Mirage 2000 fighters turned around and chased after them, they did not chase closer and closer, but chased farther and farther.
At this time, the Tomcat fighters had already launched the second batch of Sparrow missiles, eight Sparrow missiles, and flew towards the fourteen fighters that continued to prepare for bombing, and at this time, they had entered the final bombing route.
Several failures have made the Indian Air Force resentful, and at such a dangerous time, they are still calmly aiming at their targets despite the sound of the radar warning receiver in the headset.
The most conspicuous target is the aircraft carrier that is being renovated in the slipway! The large deck that goes through is their goal!
Closer, keep getting closer, and just as they were about to press the bomb drop button, a huge explosion was heard behind the fuselage.
The Sparrow missiles flew over, just like target fighters, eight missiles, killed eight Mirage 2000 fighters, and the remaining six dropped bombs.
The anti-aircraft weapons of the Karachi naval base were constantly firing at the air, and the barrage of bullets flew in the sky, affecting the sight of the Indian pilots, and even so, they were still firmly dropping bombs.
Two Mirage 2000 fighters were shot down by ground artillery fire, while four Mirage 2000 fighters dropped their own bombs on the warship in the port of Karachi, and then climbed away.
They didn't have a chance, Rick red-eyed, and with Sidewinder missiles, he took out the Mirage 2000 fighter that climbed out of the anti-aircraft fire.
The Indians bombed so recklessly and recklessly that the fighting on the Dart side delayed the Pakistan Air Force's operations, and as a result, four Mirage 2000 fighters were captured.
The bombed Mirage 2000 fighters were all shot down, and at this time, the other ten on-call Tomcat fighters had all arrived, and their task now was to kill all the fighters that the Indians came out this time!
When Rick's fleet began to turn, it met the ten Mirage 2000 fighters behind him.
The Tomcat fighter has shot all the Sparrow missiles, and only two Sidewinder missiles are left, and Rick is still full of confidence, even if he uses a cannon, he will beat the Indians down!
Complex electromagnetic interference put the Mirage 2000's radar in a state of strike, so the only chance for the Mirage 2000 fighter is to launch its own Magic 2 missile.
The long-awaited hand-to-hand combat of the Indians has finally begun.
Magic 2 performs well in all aspects, the only downside is its power range!
At a distance of ten kilometers, that is, almost after the Tomcat fighter turned, it locked onto the Mirage 2000 fighter flying on the opposite side and launched the Sidewinder missile.
Head on the attack! The Magic 2 missile is still waiting for the carrier aircraft to send it into the effective range, and the Sidewinder missile on the opposite side has already flown in.
With a gap of only four kilometers, the Mirage 2000 was forced to give up the opportunity to attack, and all they needed now was how to dodge the missiles flying from the opposite side!
This round of Sidewinder missiles once again caused the Mirage 2000 to lose five units, and the remaining five finally pounced!
A Mirage 2000 bites Rick's fighter and attacks from the tail chase, which is the best!
Rick flies with ease, the other party is behind him, even if he launches a missile, he can shine the xenon lamp on him, and now, without the xenon lamp, Rick can play him to death.
With the wings wide open, Rick began to hover at a wide angle.
Hovering with the Mirage 2000? The Indian pilot behind secretly laughed at his opponent in his heart, and at the same time began to follow into the circle, kicking the rudder, pressing the control stick, the nose of the fighter, pointing steadily at the opponent, and the seeker of the Magic 2 missile was immediately facing the engine nozzle in the tail of the opponent's plane.
The other party had no intention of stopping at all, and continued to hover, just beyond the off-axis angle of Magic 2, and the Mirage 2000 behind it had to keep hovering if it wanted to launch a missile.
As it continued to circle, the Mirage 2000 gradually slowed down. When following the Tomcat fighter in front of him for two laps, the speed of the Mirage 2000 had dropped to the point that it could barely provide enough lift.
Play to death! Rick listened to the report of the radar operator behind him, and the Mirage 2000 behind him could no longer catch up, and Rick calmly turned on the afterburner. (To be continued......)
