Chapter 156: Close Combat is Simple

readx;

When formulating their policy toward the Middle East, no one mentioned the issue of freezing large sums of money in the United States from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait and other countries, because they all had a hunch that if their struggle also extended to the financial field, the harm caused would probably not even the United States be able to bear it. Pen, fun, pavilion www.biquge.info{{}}" The domain name of this site is the full spelling, please remember the domain name of this site! ”

Oil, if there is no oil there, why should the United States make a big fuss there! The resources there, only if they are mastered by the United States, are the best!

"So, now, we're watching our fighter plane get shot down, and then, just quit?" Secretary of Defense Cheney asked unwillingly, no matter how well he said it, in short, the time is not now, and they still need to be patient.

As the most powerful country in the world, when has the United States endured?

While the US top leadership was still formulating a strategy, the air battle on the front line had come to an end for the time being.

Two Tomcat fighters soared in the sky, and in front of them, there were four Mirage 4000 fighters, but they did not have any fear, because they were the masters of the sky!

The weapon operator in the rear cabin is mainly responsible for operating the fire control radar to launch powerful immortal bird missiles, and is responsible for guiding Sparrow missiles in medium-range air combat, however, in close air combat, he does not need to operate weapons, all of which are controlled by the pilot in the front cabin, and the personnel in the rear cabin mainly use their own visual vision to perceive the surrounding situation and help the pilot search the surrounding airspace. {{}}

When dodging the first round of medium-range bomb strikes, the weapon operator in the rear compartment pressed a button in time, and several immortal bird missiles in the abdomen had been discarded. Since the Immortal Bird is too heavy, throwing away this missile during close-quarters combat can reduce the weight of the aircraft and facilitate combat.

According to the news from the AWACS aircraft, they soon spotted a rapidly approaching enemy plane in the distance in the direction of seven o'clock, and it was the Iraqi fighter!

It's time to come, it's finally here!

Under the wings of the Tomcat fighter, two AIM-9M missiles are mounted, which are more advanced than the AIM-9L missiles exported by the United States and have omnidirectional attack capabilities, so as long as you change the angle of your own nose so that the opponent's target is within a 30-degree angle of your missile seeker, you can launch it. {{}}

Alex was well prepared, and during the flight, he had already made the carrier power supply power supply to power the missile through the launcher, and activated the cooling switch in the cockpit to continuously cool the infrared detector in the optimal temperature range. The thermal battery pack on the starter bomb is ready at any time, and the missile can be launched as long as the voltage of the thermal battery pack is added to the rocket engine igniter and the fuse circuit is turned on.

Through the data of the fire control radar, the calculation of the computer, the seeker can carry out the attack after waiting for the angle of the nose of the carrier aircraft to change. It only takes a second or two.

However, at this moment, white smoke was already coming from the distance, and the other side had already launched a missile!

This is the second time today that Alex has felt so surprised, Iraq's equipment performance has far surpassed that of the United States?

At this time, the two sides are flying in opposite directions, and it is futile to try to make various maneuvers to get rid of them, and the most appropriate way is to fly towards the opponent's missile, and then, at the moment when they are about to collide, change the course of the aircraft. {{}}

This is more exciting and thrilling than dodging the medium-range missile just now. However, he had no choice.

Alex was engrossed, he operated the huge Tomcat fighter, and flew towards the missile, like a moth to a fire, yes, the Tomcat is a moth, and that missile is fire!

In his mind, there were no other thoughts, just to dodge the missile!

This kind of action is very dangerous, if you dodge early, the missile will follow, and if you just expose your biggest side to the other party, you will be hit, and if you dodge it late, you will go straight up.

In the field of vision, the missile was getting bigger and bigger, and Alex seemed to be able to feel that the infrared seeker of the missile was aiming at him, and finally, when it was about to make close contact, Alex slammed down on the lever and kicked the side rudder at the same time.

The tom turned nimbly and brushed past the oncoming missile.

Alex is no longer as calm as the first time, in such a short period of time, he was targeted by two missiles, and both got rid of it, I don't know if he was lucky or unlucky. {{}}

After the breath of death flew by, Alex finally began to fight back, and he made a high-overload flip move, ready to point the nose of the plane at the opponent and launch his own melee missile.

Unbeknownst to him, the pilot opposite, Omar, did not give him any chance.

In terms of development ideas, the F-14, F-15, and F-16 are all products of the energy surplus theory, and in air combat, fighters with high energy always have greater activity and better maneuverability than fighters with low energy. This is because any maneuver in air combat consumes energy, and the more energy you have left, the more complex maneuvers you can make.

The Mirage 4000, J-10 and other fighters are the products of instantaneous pointing ability, and now that missile technology is gradually advancing, the most important thing is to point the nose of the aircraft at the other side as soon as possible and launch missiles.

With its delta wing and front canard, the Mirage 4000 can directly obtain positive lift, so the cornering ability is excellent.

Moreover, he does not need to make many turns, as long as he makes the opponent's plane within 60 degrees in front of him, he can launch missiles. {{}}

Omar raised his head, the sights on his helmet had already locked onto the target, and then, with a flash of fire under the wings, another R-73 missile flew out.

Alex watched his fighter plane fall from his side, but he still didn't understand how he was shot down.

Just now, Alex skillfully made a large overload maneuver, ready to bring the other party into the seeker guidance range of an AIM-9M Sidewinder missile mounted under his wing, but, at this time, the other party had already launched the missile.

At the same time, he was also surprised, not only the weapon operator in the back seat, he also saw that when launching just now, the angle between the opponent's missile and his own plane was also about 50 degrees, in this case, it was absolutely not enough to meet the launch conditions.

However, time will not go back again, and he will not be able to repeat the process just now, in short, the F-14 Tomcat fighter, which has the best maneuverability, has not achieved any advantage in close combat with the opponent!

The umbrella flower of the weapon operator in the rear compartment slowly fell from his distance, and both of them parachuted safely, which was also considered a blessing.

Baghdad, in the command hall in the rear, has already received the results.

The data collected from all sides show that there is a lot of optimism that Iraq has taken control of the situation, turned its reactive into proactive, and resolved the crisis.

The situation in Saudi Arabia has been temporarily controlled, and the 35th Armored Division is temporarily stationed outside Riyadh, with such a powerful armored force, any conspiracy and rebellion will be nipped in the bud.

If the Iraqi troops had been there from the beginning, the Saudi royal family would not have been ravaged, and Qusay expressed sympathy for the plight of the Saudi royal family, and many innocent people were poisoned in this rebellion.

Of course, Prince Sultan showed no mercy to this rebellion, and all the militants who participated in the rebellion in the city were killed or imprisoned, and they were waiting for them, if not the death penalty, to spend their lives in prison.

The armored division outside the city of Riyadh was also thoroughly investigated, and the middle-level officers were almost replaced, although Prince Sultan usually smiled, but he was absolutely unambiguous when he controlled the army.

Although Qusay is deeply sympathetic to what happened to the Saudi royal family, he also knows that after this incident, Saudi Arabia finally gave up illusions about the United States and began to form a complete alliance with Iraq.

For Iraq, this still seems to be a good thing.

took care of the situation in Riyadh, and at the same time, the exchange of fire with the Americans at the front also made Qusay even more worried.

Sooner or later, Iraq will confront the Americans head-on, but Qusay did not expect that the Americans would come so early, and the Americans would arrive before he was ready.

Iraq cannot retreat, it can only rush forward bravely.

So far, everything has been favorable to Iraq, especially after the Americans fired first and fired the Immortal Bird missile, the Iraqi Air Force returned fire, which can be described as wonderful.

First, the Americans were given a dismount by using active sky flash missiles, and then, using helmet-mounted sights and large off-axis combat missiles, the Americans' Tomcat fighters actually ended up completely annihilated, and only one plane on the Iraqi side was damaged.

There are many reasons for this, and one of the important aspects is that Iraq has thoroughly understood the performance of such fighters of the US Navy.

In the Iran-Iraq war, the Tomcat was invincible, however, the Iraqis still found a way to deal with it. Since the Iranian Tomcat and the American Tomcat are all the same, except for the difference in the friend or foe identifier, this powerful fighter, in the eyes of the Iraqis, has been stripped of its clothes, and all the advantages and disadvantages can be seen directly. Iraqis are as familiar with this aircraft as if they were with a fighter in their own Air Force sequence.
