"Prepare to launch missiles." Reyer shouted over the radio.

On the radar screen, the two targets actually became level flight, without any maneuvering, just like two live targets.

Naturally, Reyer will not let go of this good opportunity, no matter what the reason, since the other party is honest, then beat the other party down!

Lock onto the target, launch the missile, and a second later, under the wing of the MiG-25, an R-40R semi-active radar-guided air-to-air missile, flew out.

Now the distance between the two sides is forty kilometers, head-on flight, the distance will be shortened quickly, Reyer has already adjusted the fire control to short-range air-to-air missiles, for a while, I am afraid that I will have to fight at close range.

Because, he didn't have much hope for this kind of Soviet-made air-to-air missile, and in several air battles, it was okay to hit the enemy's slow bombers, and to deal with the agile Tomcat, the hit rate was very low, and he always loved to malfunction.

Akbari and Jarad, two fighters, are passing through their most dangerous time.

If they make a big overload flight, they can dodge the incoming missiles, but the undead will lose their target due to the lack of radar irradiation, and the valuable undead will become dead birds.

Only at the stage of autonomous guidance of the final immortal bird, the AWG-9 radar, can it be freed.

Luckily, I only need to hold on for another two seconds.

In the initial stage, the Immortal Bird missile is to use a pre-programmed program to fly at high altitude to increase the range, and in the medium range, it needs a radar signal for semi-active guidance, and only after approaching the radar search range of the Immortal Bird missile itself can the remaining tasks be completely handed over to the Immortal Bird.

They're holding on.

Listening to the sound of the radar warning receiver and listening to the number of reports from the radar officer in the rear cabin requires a very strong psychological quality.

Still, Akbari can stand it.

Finally, after hearing the confirmation of the Radar Officer, the immortal bird had taken the initiative to guide, Akbari finally passed the most dangerous time.

Next, it's time to face the incoming missile.

It's very simple, all he needs is to dive!

The two Tomcat fighters, with the wing sweep angle adjusted to the maximum, began to dive down at high speed.

The huge overload pushed the pilots into their seats, unable to move, and they could only watch the altimeter in front of them spin rapidly, round and round.

The northern part of Iran is mountainous, and this complex geographical environment leads to the low altitude is the nemesis of the airborne radar, and the Soviet-made radar based on the electron tube cannot process a large number of echo data, so the low altitude is their blind spot.

This is also the reason why Iran introduced the Tomcat fighter jet, this powerful radar, using the pulse Doppler principle, can filter out the influence of ground clutter, distinguish low-altitude targets, and fast interception ability, is also the vast territory of Iran needs.

The Tu-22 bomber dropped all the bombs, and the pilot let out a sigh of relief and began to return home.

Suddenly, the pilot felt a loud tremor, and then the sound of an explosion reached his ears, followed by flames behind him.

There was no chance to escape, and before he could react, the plane exploded and disintegrated in the air.

The Immortal Bird missile's active radar in front of the high-altitude warhead was turned on, and after searching for the target, it plunged headlong.

The immortal bird that swooped down from an altitude of more than 20,000 meters already carried huge kinetic energy, coupled with the original high explosives of the warhead, and the power was huge, and it directly blew the Tu-22 bomber into pieces in the air.

Four Tu-22 bombers were wiped out, three bombers were hit in a volley, and only one, because the undead bird malfunctioned in the final attack, was not hit.

Moreover, there is another reason, that is, until they were hit, they did not find the missiles that flew in.

Otherwise, the plane that has already dropped the bomb, even if it is a bomber, still has a certain maneuver surname, and it is completely possible to maneuver and fly to evade the missile.

The Tu-22 bomber, which survived the catastrophe, immediately accelerated to return home, not daring to look back, and he could not see it.

Reyer heard the sound coming from the radio and knew that three bombers had been killed, and the other party must have done it with an undead bird with an ultra-long range. However, he was no longer in the mood to care about the bombers in the rear, because all the missiles they fired missed the target.

The missile launched by the MiG-25, when it approached the opponent five kilometers, the opponent began to accelerate and dive, and the missile followed the dive.

No matter how powerful the aircraft is, it is not as strong as the missile, and the aircraft has an overload of 9G, which is already the limit of modern fighters, but the missile can easily make an overload of 20G.

However, the R-40 missile is a typical blurred vision, especially when it follows the target to dive, its brain begins to be confused.

As soon as it dives, the missile's seeker follows downward, and the electromagnetic waves it receives are already less, but what is even more terrifying is that the echoes on the ground are increasing indefinitely.

After a few more seconds, the missile completely lost its target.

Not only did the missile lose its target and start the self-destruction program, but the radar screen of the MiG-25, the plane of the Iranians, had disappeared.

Reyes knew that the Iranians had gotten into the air, using the mountains, and playing hide and seek with them.

The Tomcat fighter is a maneuverable and flexible fighter that flies at low altitudes and can achieve a lot of lift thanks to its variable sweep wing, however, the MiG-25 is different.

At the beginning of the development of the MiG-25, it was aimed at the task of high altitude and high speed, with a huge rectangular air intake, and great resistance at low altitude.

Moreover, due to the backwardness of the radar, entering the low altitude with complex terrain, the MiG-25 will be tied hand and foot, and there will be no use at all.

Instead of ordering his plane to follow into a low altitude, Reyer circled at a high altitude.

At this time, a very embarrassing scene appeared in the air.

MiG-25: If you have a kind of you, come up, let's compete, what kind of hero is always hiding below!

F-14: You come down if you kind of it: Isn't it great to be tall?

MiG-25: I'm just tall, but you're coming up!

F-14: I just don't go up, you come down!

The MiG-25 does not want to rush into a low altitude, and the F-14 is not completely sure of defeating the MiG-25, any losses are not something they can bear, not to mention that the Immortal Bird missiles were consumed in the first wave of attacks, and they are waiting for an opportunity.

Reyer looked at his fuel consumption, and the fuel surplus was not optimistic, so he had to let the MiG-25 form and prepare to return.

This time, it was more cowardly, and the three bombers escorting the escort were shot down, but they did not even find the Iranians.

"Climb to twenty-three thousand and return at a high altitude." Reyes said.

The F-14 was waiting for the other party's opportunity to return, and when it found that the other party was returning, the two Tomcats came out of the low altitude again.

It's a pity that when I saw those fighters flying to an altitude of more than 20,000 meters, the weapons in the rear cabin were in action, and I was helpless when I looked at the radar screen.

Without immortal birds, sparrows will not beat each other down.

Although the course of the battle was intense, in reality, it took place for only twenty minutes.

The F-14 then climbed into the middle of the air, turned on its radar, and patrolled the airspace around Bakhtaran.

In the rear, their flying formations are also coming non-stop.

Bombing!

The Iraqis have been in the sky for so many days, and now, the feng shui is turning, and it is finally the turn of the Iranian Air Force!

Two F-14s, just a prelude, followed by other Iranian fighters!

After the intense repair of the ground crew, a total of ten Tomcats can resume normal flight, and the rest are still being repaired intensively, but the front-line war is tight and can no longer withstand it.

The Iraqis will advance eastward at any time, and if they take Bakhtalam, they will gain a stable foothold to move eastward, which Khomeini cannot tolerate.

So, the Iranian Air Force finally sorted.

The first two planes that succeeded in driving out the Iraqis over Bakhtalam, followed by F-4 and F-5 fighters laden with bombs, flew over.

Although there are ten F-14s, at least four must be left to guard the skies over Tehran, two are in reserve, and two are ready to deal with the situation in the south, so depending on the situation here, more fighters will be flown at any time.

And today, the intensity of the Iraqi Air Force is not very high, and the two F-14s used the first round of fierce attacks to kill the Iraqi bombers, which can temporarily deter them, and then, the planes on the bombing mission caught up, and their targets were the two bridges on the west side of Siis-Ranabad!

The Iraqi army set foot on the land of Bakhtalam, and the important combat goal was to control the communication artery to Bakhtaran and eventually to Tehran, but because it was in the mountains, this road was not as wide as the Iraqi highway in the desert area, and in many places, only one car could pass through. And the most dangerous place is to erect the bridge.

In Siys-Lanabad, there are two such bridges of the greatest importance.

The mountains were steep, and although other roads had been found, the conditions of passage were poor, and the troops already in West Islam Abad, relying mainly on the road already in their hands, were ready to take Bakhtalam, which had been bombed for many days, in one fell swoop.

These two bridges, which are very important to them, are also the targets of the Iranian Air Force's bombing, and by blowing up these two bridges, those Iraqis who have already set foot on Iranian soil will lose their supplies and become turtles in the urn.

Since the F-14 entered service with the Iranian Air Force, the F-4 has retired from the position of the main air superiority fighter, this heavy fighter is often hung with bombs, carrying out ground bombing missions, and, carrying two more Sparrow air-to-air missiles, after the bombing, can also take on the task of air supremacy.
