"Attention Hunter Squad, the other side has fired a missile!" Just after the Tomcat fighter fired its own missile, a warning from the E-2 AWACS aircraft also came from the headset.

The Soviets also fired medium-range shells at this distance! Almost both sides were launched at the same time, and due to the number of missiles, they fired twice as many missiles as the Tomcat fleet.

"Instant, real-time, full-band interference." With the order, the accompanying EC-130H electronic jammer began to operate at full power, and due to the backwardness of the electronic systems of the Soviets, they could calmly interfere with each other.

The old R-23 missiles of the Soviets, with a maximum power range of only 30 kilometers, actually began to be launched only within 15 kilometers, and now, the other side has launched missiles at the same distance of 30 kilometers, and it must be a new missile of the Soviets!

"The R-27 missile, the model that the Soviets just developed last year." Mhammad was in the ground control tower, listening to the report of the AWACS aircraft, and couldn't help but say.

This is a new type of medium- and long-range air-to-air missile successfully developed by the Soviet Union, which belongs to the third generation, with four large inverted trapezoidal wings in the middle of the missile body constituting the main control surface, four trapezoidal stable wings in the head section and four fixed double triangular tail fins in the middle section of the missile body. The aerodynamic drag is somewhat large, but the missile performance is still very good. In later generations, this kind of missile was exported to China along with the Su-27 fighter, which also gave the eastern countries a medium-range interception capability for the first time.

The statements about this missile are also completely different, some say that it entered service in 87, some say that it was in service in 82, and Mhammad knows that it entered service in 87 and is the new R-27T and R-27R and other models, and in 82. The basic version has already come out, after all, this is an air-to-air missile that the USSR began to develop in the 70s.

The performance of this missile, which is comparable to that of the AIM-7F Sparrow missile, belongs to semi-active radar guidance, so, after launch. You need to keep the nose pointing at the target.

It was a battle of courage, with both sides firing medium-range shells almost simultaneously, and it was necessary to maintain a steady flight while facing the attack of the opposing missiles.

"Keep your flight steady." Kimofee, the leader of the MiG-29 four-plane formation, said. They had four missiles flying over, and only two missiles flew by the opponent, hitting at most two of their fighters, but the missiles flying past were able to make both fighters on the opposite side explode in the air.

They are still dominant.

The No-193 "Black Slit" pulse-Doppler radar at the front is constantly scanning, with an inverted Cassegrain antenna. Constantly emitting electromagnetic waves and flying to the opposite sky, this kind of antenna, similar to an inverted pot lid, its performance is similar to that of the American APG-65 radar. It is a pulse-Doppler radar with the ability to look down and fire downward, and at the same time, it is also able to track and lock the target together with the on-board Shchel-3um helmet sight and the OEPS29 optoelectronic system. The MiG-29 is the brainchild of all the engineers of the Mikoyan company. is the toughest fighter.

Unfortunately, its electronic system is still outdated. The upside-down lid of the pot is not at all comparable to the flat slit radar, especially the ability to resist electromagnetic interference. In later generations, when the Su-27 of the Eastern countries performed tasks in territorial waters, it would be jammed by the United States, and the radar would not work properly. The backward J-8 uses a new type of domestic radar, which is not easy to be interfered with.

Now, when the EC-130H jammer began to jam in all directions, suddenly. The No-193 radar is blind.

The clear bright spots that appeared on the radar screen suddenly disappeared, and the OEPS29 optoelectronic system took over the work very agilely, wanting to continue to provide guidance for the R-27 missile, the middle section of the R-27 missile can continue to guide by several chains, and only the last section must be a semi-active radar guidance mode.

It is a pity that the OEPS29 optoelectronic system has a maximum tracking range of only fifteen kilometers, and it does not find its target in front of it.

The four jammed missiles, turned into four uncontrolled rockets, flew towards Hussein and his wingman.

The radar operator in the aft compartment was constantly counting down: "Five, four, three, two, one." ”

In the distance, a ball of fire appeared, a MiG-29, hit by an AIM-7F Sparrow missile.

The other narrowly escaped.

Hussein jerked the lever back, and by this time, the distance between the two sides had reached nearly twenty kilometers, and they were about to enter a close-quarters fight, in which case it was necessary to seize the height advantage in order to have enough energy.

The four incoming missiles, flying past his plane, blew themselves up a few hundred meters behind the fuselage.

The other side is using a new MiG-29 aircraft! Especially with helmet sights, it's easier to lock yourself! So, if you want not to be locked by the opponent, then try not to appear in the opponent's front hemisphere!

Medium-range air combat is over, and both sides can spot each other in sight.

Kimo Fiyi had anger in his eyes, just now, one of his wingmen was hit by the opponent's missile, and his own side had already used the latest missile, but it was still jammed! It's all that abominable jammer!

However, although they did not bargain in medium-range air combat, in close combat, it was not a problem for this fighter with excellent maneuverability to be piloted by himself, with new missiles and helmet sights, to completely abuse them!

He looked at the pylons on the wings behind him, and there was one medium-range R-27 missile left, as well as four R-73 missiles, which definitely surpassed the performance of the American Sidewinder!

This missile is also a close-range air combat missile successfully developed by the "Pennant" missile design bureau last year. It adopts a "duck" aerodynamic layout with the rudder surface in front of the wing, which makes it highly maneuverable, with stable dìng ailerons on the wings, front lift winglets in front of the wings, and an X-shaped symmetrical structure between the wings and the rudder surface.

What makes Kimofii most satisfied with this missile is the off-axis launch capability, which has reached forty degrees! It means that as long as the target appears in the sphere 40 degrees in front of it, the missile can be launched, and at the time of launch, the carrier aircraft can also do no more than 8G maneuvering. That is, in the fierce fighting, you can launch at any time!

Seeing the two tomcats in front of him climbing rapidly, Kimofi turned on the afterburner, and the tail of the engine was emitting thick smoke and climbed together.

"They're climbing with us and they're about to appear in our second hemisphere." Hussein's fighter plane. The radar officer in the aft compartment shouted.

In medium and long-range attacks, the radar operator's main task is to operate the radar and guide the missile, while in close-range combat, the radar officer is equivalent to an extra pair of eyes, allowing the pilot to better grasp the surrounding situation.

Follow the climb? Then climb up! Hussein made up his mind that the climb, the heavy fighter has an innate advantage, which is ultimately determined by the thrust-to-weight ratio of the engine. When the fighter with insufficient engine thrust climbs, it will definitely stall first and have to fall, Hussein is sure that the opponent will fall first, so that he can easily kill the opponent with Sidewinder missiles if he flips down again, just chasing the opponent's ass.

Pity. Hussein miscalculated.

If it was a Soviet fighter in the past, it really was. None of them can climb like the Tomcat, the turbojet engines of the Soviets, with amazing fuel consumption and insufficient power.

However, this time it was the MiG-29, although the MiG-29 was light. However, two RD33 engines are also used, which are full of power, especially the fuel carrying coefficient of the fuselage is not high, and the fuselage is light, in the current state of air combat. The thrust-to-weight ratio of the MiG-29 is more than one.

Hussein's Tomcat fighter plane was climbing upwards at a rapid pace, and as it climbed, it did a scissor maneuver at the same time, spiraling.

In the back, the MiG-29 kept following.

Kimo Fei looked at the Tomcat fighter in front of him, and as long as the opponent leveled, he had a chance to fire a close-range combat projectile.

Two TF30 engines, spraying heat streams, propelled the Tomcat fighter to fly high into the air, and in the huge overload, Hussein was still paying attention to the surrounding air situation.

"It's still following." The radar officer in the aft compartment continued to report.

Still following! It has climbed from an altitude of 8,000 meters to 18,000 meters! It's almost time to reach the ceiling! Hussein had to push the lever and fly up again, and it was time to stall.

At the moment of leveling, Hussein suddenly felt a tremor in his tail, and then, the dashboard in front of him flashed a red light.

Oops, double failure!

TF30 engine is not mature, when it was just equipped with the United States Navy, because of the problem of the engine, there have been many accidents, and now, after several years of development, although it has gradually matured, the failure rate is still very high, which completely depends on the careful maintenance of ground staff.

Unexpectedly, at this most critical time, the engine fell off the chain.

The MiG-29 below had already rushed up, and when the opponent climbed vertically and flew over Hussein's plane, Hussein clearly saw that the helmet of the opponent's head was attached to a special attachment, which must be the so-called helmet sight!

Quick, reboot! Watching the opponent fly above him, and then dash and fall from above, Hussein knew that the opponent was about to strike a fatal blow to him.

At this time, the tomcat, which had lost its power, was like a big stone, falling rapidly downward.

Restart the engine, restart the engine! The only thing Hussein was glad for was that the plane didn't get into the dreaded stall tailspin, and at the same time, the emergency power supply was still working, and as long as the engine was restarted, he still had a chance.

Finally, after falling to a height of three thousand meters, there was a roar from the tail and the engine finally restarted.

Turn on afterburner, flatten, roll!

At this moment, Kimofii still aimed at the Tomcat fighter with his helmet sight, and then, with ease, pressed the button.

An R-73 missile, flying out from under the wing, flew towards the newly regained power of the fighter.

In fact, Kimofi already had a chance to lock on just now, he was just waiting, waiting for the Tomcat fighter engine to start now, and the huge flame in the tail would make it even more impossible to hide in front of the R-73's seeker. (To be continued......)
