Chapter 136: J-6 VS MiG-23ML

In the mountains in the distance, four MiG-23MLs suddenly appeared, and the lead long plane, Captain Pilot Belosvich skillfully operated the panel in front of him, using the Sapphire-23ML radar in front to lock on to the opposite Pakistani fighter.

The three Su-22s of the Afghan Air Force in front were used as the first wave of bombing forces, and the four MiG-23s followed closely behind were to escort them.

It's just that after taking off, the MiG-23 fighter formation behind deliberately distanced itself from the front, so that when the two J-6s began to attack the Su-22, the MiG-23 group suddenly appeared from the mountains and entered a favorable attack position at the same time.

MiG-23, the leader of the second generation of Soviet fighters, is specially developed for air combat, variable sweep wing to adapt to various situations of air combat, two high-power turbojet engines, so that the top speed reached Mach 2.35, at the same time, it is also conducive to low-altitude and large speed penetration, however, its bulky body, so that its maneuverability has become very poor, rather than as a fighter, it is better to become an attack aircraft more suitable.

Now, after discovering the Jian-6, these four fighters immediately began to attack, the sapphire-23ML radar of the long plane, the Western code name high-altitude lark, the guò magnetron, and the single-pulse radar beam constantly hit the opposite fighter, and at the same time, the on-board computer kept calculating, and set the number of launches for the R-23 missiles under the wing.

Due to the use of bulky tubes, the electronic equipment of the MiG-23 is very backward and slow to calculate.

At the same time, the two J-6s began to turn into a dive state.

Finally, after flipping a few more switches, the R-23 missile gained enough launches. Then, a flash of fire flickered under the wings, and in the midst of the green smoke, a missile flew out.

The R-23, codenamed AA-7 Spire in the West, is a Soviet medium-range air-to-air missile. Due to the backwardness of the power system, the so-called medium-range missiles only have a range of more than 30 kilometers, and in order to effectively hit the target, the missiles will generally be launched within 15 kilometers of the carrier aircraft.

The four triangular wings in the middle and the four smaller rudder surfaces at the tail are similar in shape to the Immortal Bird. It's just much smaller.

With a pointed head, this is a medium-range missile guided by radio command and guided by semi-active radar terminals, and now, during the first half of the flight, the target is intercepted entirely by the radar of the carrier aircraft, and then the command is transmitted to the missile by radio guò.

The R-23P missile flies smoothly, and for it hits the target in just a few tens of seconds.

Meanwhile. A fighter to the right of the long plane also fired an R-23P missile. flew to another J-6 aircraft.

In order to effectively guide the missile, the MiG-23 fighter was also unable to maneuver with a large overload, so it flew smoothly all the time. However, Belosvich sensed that something was wrong.

The two Jian-6 are still diving, looking at their posture. Before their missiles could fly, they were already in the mountains.

As the target continues to fall, the Sapphire-23ML radar antenna is also constantly turning downward, turning a single pulse of the radar beam. Constantly illuminating the past.

Soon it will enter the guidance process of the semi-active radar, the warhead of the R-23P missile, also equipped with a radar antenna, but this radar only has the function of receiving, the radar of the carrier aircraft, after the reflection back, is received by the radar antenna of the R-23P missile, and the guidance can be continued, no longer need radio commands, this is the guidance of the terminal stage, the target is locked, and it is almost impossible to get rid of the attack of the missile.

But now, the other side is diving, and when the radar of the carrier aircraft keeps turning downward, the echo suddenly becomes extremely chaotic and disruptive.

The radar beam had already hit the ground, and the undulating peaks kept reflecting the echoes, so the airborne radar immediately discovered that there were no more echoes, and it was not known which echo was the target.

Theoretically, the Sapphire-23ML radar has the ability to shoot downward, and it has a pulsed Doppler system. Pulse Doppler means that the target and the jammer have different radial velocities relative to the radar, and the echo signal also has different Doppler frequencies. In this way, the Doppler frequency spectral line of the target is selected by the frequency domain filtering method, and the spectral line of the interference clutter is filtered, so that the radar can separate and detect the target signal from the strong clutter. Such capabilities require high-performance computers to achieve, and the computers of the MiG-23 fighters cannot be effectively calculated.

The two targets disappeared from the radar screen, and the two R-23P missiles that had just been fired were even more unable to distinguish the targets from the clutter, so they both lost their targets and exploded in the air after flying for more than ten seconds.

If the R-23T missile has just been launched, the terminal guidance is using an infrared seeker, which may also hit the target, and now, because of the wrong missile selection, the MiG-23 fleet misses out on fighters.

The earth kept getting closer and closer, and even the little trees in the valley could be seen clearly, and Hussein held on, overcoming his fear, and continued to descend for two seconds before he jerked the lever back.

He pulls back with both hands, and due to the tremendous speed, the rudder surface is subjected to a lot of resistance, and the overload during the descent makes it difficult for him to exert his strength.

Pull up, pull up! Hussein shouted in his heart, while holding the operating lever in his arms, panting, watching the ground finally disappear in front of his eyes, and it was a blue sky again!

The smoke from two explosions in the distance, the two flying missiles exploded on their own.

Damn the Soviets, how dare you sneak attack yourself! Hussein, after pulling up the fighter, quickly turned on the afterburner. Pull the rod, kick the rudder, and rush towards the other party!

Later, Bashar also used all his strength to pull his plane up, followed Hussein, and did the same action.

At this time, the four MiG-23ML fighters were also rapidly approaching, and the distance between the two sides was gradually getting closer and closer.

Now it has reached the close range of fire, and the R-23 missiles carried by the MiG-60ML for close combat only have the ability to chase and attack, until the late 70s, when the Soviet Union introduced the R-60M modification, equipped with an optoelectronic fuse and an improved homing head, it has a quasi-omnidirectional attack capability. This missile, which has not yet been mounted on the MiG-23ML.

At the same time, the AIM-9P missile carried by the J-6 also did not have an omnidirectional attack capability, and it was not until the AIM-9L that arrived with the F-16 that it had this capability.

Thereupon. In this kind of head-on battle, the only weapons that the two sides can use are machine guns, and at this time, the speed of the two sides is extremely fast, and they are constantly maneuvering, and the movable ring of the sight cannot be caught at all.

Suddenly, Hussein pulled the lever back, and the MiG-23 raised the nose. Rushing towards the sky.

Seeing the silver-white belly exposed to his sight, Belosvich pressed the red button on the operating stick without hesitation, but when the bullet was fired, he was surprised to find that the Jian-6 had already disappeared from his sight.

J-6 is too flexible.

Belosvich did not hesitate to pull the lever back the same way, in a huge overload. He laboriously flicked button after button to turn the wing sweep to the maximum.

Adjust the swept wing once. He needs to make seven movements, and in a large overload, it is as if several people are pressing on his body, and it is too difficult to make such movements. Only the most well-trained Soviet pilots were able to do it.

When the wings swept back, the whole fuselage suddenly relaxed. Continuing to climb upwards and looking at the J-6 that reappeared in the field of vision, Belosvich turned on the afterburner and began to put on his sight activity ring.

At this moment, the other party suddenly disappeared from Beloswich's field of vision. Looking through the hateful metal frame of the MiG-23's front windshield and looking at the tumbling J-6, Belosvich knew that he had encountered the most terrible opponent.

The combination of climbing, rolling, and scissors is the combination of the three scissors, that is, the rising rolling scissors, commonly known as "rising scissors". This kind of struggle is fought for the mobility of the fighters on both sides.

Although the engine thrust of the MiG-23 is very large, however, the MiG-23 is more bulky, although it is the latest Tumansky R-35F-300 engine, the thrust-to-weight ratio is only 0.93, and the J-6 fighter, the thrust-to-weight ratio has reached an astonishing 0.988!

In the climb, it was the engine that was fighting, and Belosvich knew that he had hit the trick.

I can't chase anymore, when the fighter can't continue to climb because of the lack of thrust of the engine and has to dive, that's the end of my own! Belosvich pushed the lever forward, trying to disengage and dived down.

Just when Belosvich's MiG-23 was just about to dive down, the J-6 fighter overhead also swooped down flexibly.

This is the opportunity to wait! In a medium-range firefight, the J-6 is completely at a disadvantage, and at close range, the J-6 fights with the MiG-23 and does not fall behind at all!

To turn a corner, the MiG-23 requires a turning radius of 2200 meters, while the J-6 is less than a thousand meters.

When the J-6 had already swooped down, the MiG-23 had just leveled the plane, and the nose of the J-6 was facing the fuselage of the MiG-23, and the huge target was the best target!

The movable ring didn't have time to be put on, so Hussein quickly converted to the fixed ring and pressed the button.

"Tom tom." The fuselage of the J-6 shook as three 30mm cannons opened fire together.

The wings of the MiG-23 suddenly appeared with several holes, Hussein pushed the operating stick to the right, and the cannon swept over the side of the wing, and then, half of the wing broke off.

"Bang." At this moment, the cockpit canopy on top of the MiG-23 suddenly shattered, and then, in the blazing flames, the ejection seat roof broke through the canopy and flew out of the cockpit.

Belosvich was quick-eyed, and after half of the wing was broken, he knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to fly the fighter back, there were mountains below, and a second later would be the end of the plane being destroyed and killed, so he did not hesitate to pull the ejection handle under the seat.
