Chapter 69: Roll Sideways!
The P-23T missile has a three-wing aerodynamic layout. The main wing has a trapezoidal wing with a large sweep angle, with 4 canard rudders before the main wing and 4 auxiliary control tail rudders after the main wing. Some of them look like girls in skirts, because the control surface is in a suitable position and large, so that the missile can maneuver better, but due to the limitations of the Soviet Union's solid rocket technology, the missile's range is not far.
A missile, in fact, is equivalent to a rocket with guidance ability, ignition, solid fuel engine, in a dozen seconds, all the fuel is burned out, and then, relying on the habitual surname, unpowered flight.
Moreover, the P-23T uses radio command correction plus habitual guidance and passive infrared terminal guidance, and the front end of the infrared seeker is a glass ram, which has a large resistance, which is not as good as the tip of the radar type, and the range of the radar type is much higher under the same solid engine.
Therefore, for various reasons, the range of the P-23T is only fifteen kilometers, which is the maximum range, and the opponent will not be able to reach it as long as he maneuvers a little, so it is a more correct choice to launch the P-23 at twelve kilometers.
In this era, no medium-range missile can be launched and left alone, even if the AIM-120 can be advanced in later generations, it can only be at the end of 20 kilometers, the carrier aircraft can let go, and in the first half, the carrier aircraft has to provide data.
The P-23T is even more so, when the missile is launched, Arslan does not dare to make a big maneuver at all, and has to constantly illuminate the target with radar, provide various data on the target, and provide the necessary data to the missile through radio commands, and correct it in a timely manner.
These tens of seconds are the most dangerous time for him, and after the missile flies close to the opponent and the infrared seeker is activated, he can retreat at full speed.
When the missile enters the stage of autonomous guidance, it basically means that it has entered the inescapable zone of the missile, no matter how strong the maneuverability of the fighter can be, it is absolutely not as good as the maneuverability of the missile, and the fighter can fly out of an overload of 9 g, which is already the limit, and the missile can easily fly out of an overload of 20 g.
Looking at the smoke from the two missiles, Arslan silently thought in his heart, Allah willing, you must achieve a shot down result!
The panda, which is on guard duty at high altitude, is closely searching for suspicious signals around it.
The Panda is a heavy air supremacy fighter with two crew members, the pilot in front and the weapon officer in the back. The two-person pilot system can share a lot of work, for example, building various complex electronic countermeasures equipment, and launching two missiles at the same time to attack two different targets, which are all advantages over a one-man aircraft.
At the end of the four-plane formation, there was an aircraft piloted by Ahami with the number 472.
Ranawad, the weapon officer in the rear cabin, suddenly noticed that the light of the radar alarm began to flash, and at the same time, a voice that was very familiar from the training came from the headphones.
"There are MiGs in the back, which are radaring us." Ranawardad immediately informed the pilots in the front cabin.
Suddenly, the sound changed to a short, high-pitched whistling.
"The other side has locked on us and launched missiles." Ranawardad said eagerly.
At this moment, the voice of the commander of the formation came from the headset: "There are MiGs in the rear, immediately roll away from the side." ”
The high-altitude lark radar used by the MiG aircraft, the radar antenna diameter is 750 mm, the working frequency is 15MHz, the single-pulse system has a continuous wave irradiation function, the peak power is 100 kilowatts, the scanning range is +-45 degrees in direction, +-30 degrees in elevation, and the dual-reflection Cassegrain antenna is used, but it has Doppler detection capabilities, and can look up at air targets in the clutter background, for targets of RCS 16 square meters, its search / tracking distance is 85 kilometers and 54 kilometers respectively, and the guidance semi-active P-23/ 24 missiles at a maximum distance of 30 kilometers.
This kind of radar, surnamed Neng is actually very backward, compared to the F14 radar, it is simply a toy. Exports to Iraq, in particular, have shrunk even more. Therefore, after being locked by the MiG, as long as it turns to a position perpendicular to the speed direction and the beam of the fighter's radar, it will be filtered out by the radar as clutter.
According to the prior training, the four pilots of the formation pressed the four-way electric valve on the throttle stick together, pressed the lever and pedaled the rudder, and the fighters rolled 90 degrees sideways and separated at the same time.
The rudder surface of F14 comprises a spoiler, a full-motion flat tail and a rudder, wherein the spoiler is mainly involved in rolling and longitudinal, and the full-motion flat tail can be used for pitching and longitudinal in the same direction, and the differential can be used for rolling and longitudinal, and the rudder is used for yaw and longitudinal at small angles of attack, and large angles of attack are also used for rolling and longitudinal. As a result, the F14 rolls very fast, up to 50 degrees per second.
As long as the radar wave is turned perpendicular to the direction of flight, the radar of the locked interceptor will miss the target, causing the guided missile to fail.
Although he was locked by the MiG, Ahami did not panic, he rolled with the entire formation, and the next thing he heard was the sound of the weapon crew unlocking.
Just know you're going to roll! Arslan knew that this classic move of the panda had left so many pilots speechless, and he also knew that he only had one chance.
Roll with each other! And it's rolling in the same direction with each other!
The MiG-23 is not as agile as the Panda, so the speed at which it rolls is much slower, however, here, it is not a disadvantage.
If you have the same roll rate as the other party, it means that after completing this action, you and the Iranian plane will fly in parallel, and the radar will not be able to see the plane parallel to you, so you will not be able to lock on to the target.
Due to the slower rolling, the nose of the MiG-23 is also rotating, but the Panda is always in the 150-degree sector area of its nose, so that it can ensure that the radar will always illuminate the target, and at the same time, because it moves with the other side, then, the tactical action that the opponent originally wanted to run in a direction perpendicular to himself will be in vain.
As long as it's not vertical, the radar can then lock onto the target!
Arslan is not a brute force, these days, he has been studying the tactical movements of Iranian aircraft, thinking about how to crack the opponent's tricks, and then, practice it himself!
He's holding on, and the light spots on the radar screen are still there!
When rolling on the side just now, it was subjected to an overload of 5 g, and for a pilot who has undergone strict training, there is an anti-load suit, and this overload is simply within the range of bearing.
Lanavad kept staring at the dashboard, and he noticed that the radar alarm was still on, and the sound of being locked in his ears was still there!
"We didn't get rid of the lock, the other side must have used a new type of radar!" Lanawad shouted.
Ahami bit his lip, just now when he was rolling, he had already looked up and saw those two missiles, it was so ruthless, he actually used missiles to attack himself!
The other party's target must be himself, because the other three pandas have already flown in other directions.
Oops, didn't get rid of the other party's attack!
