Two Mi-8 helicopters, flying on the ground, are transporting ammunition to the front line as the fighting on the front line is tight.

After the Cuban Air Force entered Angola, in addition to the MiG-21 fighters, there were also a large number of Mi-8 and Mi-17 helicopters, and the use of helicopters to transport supplies was a very normal tactic of the Cuban army.

After seeing the Mi-8 flying close to the ground on the ground, the Mirage fleet immediately dived down, and the squadron leader, Major Rankin, prepared a Magic 550 air-to-air missile, ready to take out one of the helicopters.

At this moment, on the ground, on a tracked launcher, a triple load of missiles, aimed at the sky, and then ignited, two salvos, and pounced on Major Rankin.

Seeing the flames on the ground, Major Rankin was shocked, and he immediately rolled sideways, trying to dodge the attack from the ground, but unfortunately, his maneuver was useless, and the missile flew into the sky, blowing his plane to pieces.

The remaining three Mirages immediately prepared to retreat, and just after leaving the range of the opponent's anti-aircraft missile positions, several MiG-23 fighters of the Cuban Air Force appeared in the sky.

The Cuban Air Force, there will be no defeat! They flew MiG-23 fighters and rushed up to engage the Mirage fleet.

Two Mirage 3s were shot down, only one escaped, while the MiG-23 fighters, unscathed.

The sky, will once again fall back into the hands of the Cuban Air Force!

The news of the defeat of the Air Force reached South Africa, and Rick knew that the time had come for him to make a sortie!

After learning that the ship had sunk, the Soviet Union urgently mobilized transport planes to transport Sam-6 anti-aircraft missiles to Angola, while the Cuban missilemen used Mi-8 helicopters as bait to set up an ambush and take out the South African Air Force fighters.

MiG-23. This kind of fighter, in Afghanistan, Rick often fights with them, although it seems to be very advanced, but it is still only a second-generation aircraft!

Something to be guarded against. It should be the Sam-6 missile on the ground!

Rick immediately made a good allocation, two Tomcat fighters, and two A-7 attack planes, to form an attack detachment to completely strangle the Cuban missile troops on the ground!

Is the SAM-6 missile advanced? In front of the Mozu missile, there is only the share of eating!

If the MiG-23s of the Cuban Air Force come to sneak attack, then use Tomcat fighters against them!

With Rick's order, five groups of hunting formations, took off. Entered the Angolan battlefield.

On the ground, UNITA forces are still on the offensive, north of Lubango, attacking the coastal city of Benguela in an attempt to take it down.

In the air, the battle also resumed.

Just as Rick's hunting squadron flew to the northern region of Angola, the SAM-6 missiles on the ground, the radar had been turned on. Get ready to capture the warplanes in the sky.

And the radar of the Tomcat fighter, using the ground mode. Having accurately identified the missile positions of the opposing side, two A-7 attack aircraft, lowered the altitude and broke through from a low altitude.

A standard SAM-6 missile battery, the smallest independent combat unit, is equipped with 1 command vehicle, 1 1S91 guidance irradiation radar on a tracked chassis, 4 triple tracked missile launchers, and four ZIL6 trucks driven by 6X131. Each vehicle carries three spare missiles, and the truck has a crane arm at the rear to re-hoist the missiles after launch, as well as one power supply truck and one fuel supply truck.

Such a missile position is also huge. The radar with the synthetic aperture function has clearly displayed the situation on the ground on the radar screen.

As long as they are not within the opponent's kill radius, they will not be threatened, and the two Tomcat fighters are spinning in the sky, thirty kilometers away from the Sam-6 missile position.

"Damn, why can't these South African Air Force come." On the ground, the Cuban missile crew couldn't help but curse.

"It seems that we have to rely on the Mi-8 to lure them."

"Well, report to the top, please come over to the Mi-8." The commander of the missile company shouted.

As he spoke, the missilemen noticed the echo on the screen.

"Not good, there are anti-radiation missiles!"

"Quick, shut down, maneuver!" said the commander of the missile company.

Whether it is a missile car or a radar car, it is mounted on the TELAR universal chassis, with six pairs of load-bearing wheels, the driving wheels in the rear, no load-bearing wheels, an all-welded body, the crew compartment in the front, and the engine compartment in the rear. There are air filtration equipment, overpressure nuclear, biochemical protection, infrared night vision equipment. This chassis is tracked and has good maneuverability.

Although their ability to maneuver is affected when the antenna is deployed, they must move quickly when it is a matter of life and death.

A puff of black smoke came out of the rear, and the tracks began to push rapidly, and the hull moved around the position.

Unless it is an improved SAM 11, each launcher has a search and irradiation radar, which can pose a threat to the attacking aircraft, otherwise, as long as they use anti-radiation missiles to kill their radar, they will have no means to fight back.

However, the performance of the Mozu missile is relatively backward, and it must be aimed at the opponent's radar, that is, within the main beam of the radar beam, which limits the attack of the missile, and is easy to be detected by the opponent's echo, so the attack on the experienced Cuban missile troops, the Mozu missile is often ineffective.

Although it didn't work, the attack of the Mozu missiles still made them turn off the radar, and this is a good opportunity!

If the radar is turned off, it means that the entire missile battery is useless, and the Maverick ground missiles carried by the A-7 can calmly attack!

The weather was clear, and the TV-guided Maverick missile followed the radar car closely.

"Boom!" The Maverick of the top attack, even the head of the T-72 can easily penetrate it, not to mention this radar car, from the top of above, all the way into the hull, before an explosion occurred, and in the explosion, this welded armored car, turned into fragments and ignited a fire.

Then, one calf after another, towards other missile launchers, command vehicles, trucks... The attacks were launched without stopping, and as the missiles fell, one armored car after another, exploded and burst into flames.

Finally, in the face of the tanker, the pilot of the A-7 attack aircraft skillfully depressed the nose of the aircraft and used the cannon to beat the tanker into an explosion and fire.

A missile battery, just like that, was easily wiped out on the ground, and the A-7 pilots, having completed their task, immediately slipped away at low altitudes, and at medium altitudes, air battles began.

Four MiG-23 fighters in formation rushed up and launched an attack on the two Tomcat fighters escorting in the air.

Under the wings of the MiG-23, the R-23 missile is mounted, although the range is somewhat short, this is already a medium-range missile, compared to the Tomcat fighter, it is also a variable sweep wing, and the Cuban Air Force, which flies it, has a fearless spirit.

It's just that the MiG-23 fighter with a manually controlled sweep wing needs to be skillfully operated, and changing the wing sweep angle once requires seven or eight actions.

And the Cuban Air Force, equipped with such fighters for a short time.

After scanning this fighter with radar, the Tomcat fighter immediately pushed the nose of the aircraft and entered the low altitude, the mountains below, so that they were well hidden, and the radar scanned the high altitude and could easily search for the target.

As for the MiG-23, its radar cannot be ground at all, it is a clutter, and it is impossible to search for useful signals.

After entering the low altitude, the Tomcat fighter immediately launched the AIM-7M missile, although the low altitude made the range closer, they were launched at a distance of 20 kilometers, but the medium-altitude MiG-23 was already only beaten and could not fight back.

Moreover, the way of tracking and scanning made the MiG-23's Siren 3 radar warning receiver not meet the trigger conditions at all, and the MiG-23 fleet did not know that the Tomcat fighters had launched missiles, and they began to look down and twist those buttons, change the wing sweep angle, and prepare to enter the low altitude.

"Boom!" A MiG-23 was hit, turning into a fireball in the sky, and only then did they find themselves attacked!

Before there was time to react, another MiG-23 was also hit, and the pilot operated the rickety fighter and flew back.

The remaining two MiG-23s swooped down from the mid-altitude and adjusted the sweep angle of the wings, and at low altitudes, they will have excellent fighting ability!

However, when they rushed to the low altitude, they found that the situation was not good, and the two Tomcat fighters, the wings of which received the back, were called a chic, and then began to climb rapidly, and actually began to go to the high altitude again!

The MiG-23 fleet, which had lost two of its teammates, saw that the Tomcat fighter was about to escape, and immediately changed the sweep angle again and also sprinted upward.

If you want to escape, it's not that easy!

They had a hard time changing the sweep angle, keeping in mind the order of the buttons, and they completed the action of changing the sweep angle without looking at it with their eyes.

Climb, climb! Relying on the powerful performance of the turbojet engine, they caught up with the Tomcat fighter, and at this time, the altitude had exceeded fifteen thousand.

Just when they wanted to lock on with R-60 missiles, they found that the two Tomcat fighters in front of them began to dive down again.

Dive, even less afraid, at this time they followed the push of the nose, under the huge overload, followed the downward dive, as if there was a thousand pounds on their arms, they no longer had the strength to change the sweep angle of the wing.

When the dive reached a height of 1,000 meters, Rick skillfully pulled the joystick, and the fighter plane was flattened, and the swept wings on both sides turned forward like a trick, becoming the smallest sweep angle most suitable for low-altitude combat.

With a skillful roll, he completed a counter-attack on the two MiG-23 fighters behind him in an incredibly small turning radius.

The MiG-23 also began to rotate, however, the wing sweep angle was at its maximum, and to turn a corner, they needed a radius of several kilometers.

In this way, they looked at the Tomcat fighter in front of them, and disappeared from view in a flash, and had already run to their back hemisphere.

Sidewinder missiles, also skillfully locked, launched! (To be continued......)
