Chapter 185: The Real Target, AWACS!
"Close-range missiles, coming at us, are expected to arrive in fifteen seconds." The radar officer in the aft compartment reported nervously.
Damn it! What kind of perversion should the opponent's missiles be! Hussein looked at the nose of the other party's plane, and the angle between him and his own plane was definitely more than 30 degrees!
At such an angle, even the best Sidewinder missiles cannot be reliably locked, how did the other side do it?
These questions will be considered later, and now, when such a perverted missile flies towards Hussein, the first thing Hussein has to think about is how to dodge it.
Compared with the maneuverability of the close-range combat missile, it is simply looking for death, the fighter pulls up to an overload of 9 G, and the person is almost in a coma, and the combat missile can easily reach an overload of more than 20 G, and now this flying R-73 can reach an overload of 40 G.
Hussein looked down and was surprised to see piles of bonfires being lit in the mountains below, and when spring arrived, farmers were burning straw left over from the previous year.
Piles of bonfires will form a large heat source, Hussein did not hesitate, turned on the afterburner, the Tomcat's wings swept back, and continued to dive rapidly towards the ground.
At an altitude of three thousand meters, it was almost there, and the missile was still closely tracking behind.
When he was about to hit the ground, Hussein pulled the lever back, almost in his arms, and the agile Tomcat fighter changed from the dive state, almost grazing the ground and rising from the ground.
The R-73 missile that followed behind, although it had an overload of up to 40G, its seeker was confused by these infrared rays in front, and there were large areas of infrared influence everywhere, where was the target that it had previously locked?
Didn't react. It hit the ground straight into the ground, and the proximity fuse exploded, blasting a large crater out of the ground.
Damn the Soviets! Dodging the short-range missile, Hussein pulled up the fighter again and saw the Soviets on his side, flying almost in the same direction as him. Hussein pushes the lever to the right. At the same time, push the rudder on the right. The tom turned nimbly to the right.
Kimofi didn't expect this fighter to be able to pull up, he thought that the other party would touch the ground and explode, and now, watching this fighter plane appear on his side, he realized that the battle was not over.
Rolling to the right, Kimofii could only roll to the left, and as long as he turned to the direction of the off-axis launch angle of his missile, he could calmly launch the R-73 missile, and he was confident in himself.
The wings of the Tomcat are straight. The sweep angle is adjusted to the minimum, and this variable sweep wing fighter has comprehensive maneuverability at high, medium and low altitudes, which is more than rolling compared with the Tomcat, which can not be done by any kind of fighter.
When the MiG-29 had not yet turned, the Tomcat had already completed its turn, with the nose facing him, an AIM-9L missile. Launched past.
The Tomcat fighter's excellent roll rate was something Kimofiyi did not expect. By the time he found out that the other party was spinning faster than himself, it was too late.
Facing the Sidewinder missile, Kimofiyi did not hesitate, but flew towards the missile, dodging this short-range high-performance combat missile, the only chance. It is to fly head-on, and at the moment of imminent contact, turn sideways to get rid of it.
This kind of chance is not big, when the pupils of his eyes are full of this missile. Pulling the lever, I heard a violent explosion under the belly of the aircraft.
Kimofiyi immediately pulled the ejection handle, and with a bang, the cap-breaker pierced the canopy, and the rocket of the ejection seat ignited, driving him out of the cockpit, at this time, his body was almost flat.
The ejection seat equipped with the MiG-29 is very good, watching this guy fly out sideways, and it bounces off correctly, and the parachute opens, Hussein is also admired.
The air battle was going on intensely.
Glitter piloted the Tomcat fighter, as an excellent naval pilot, he flew more than 500 hours on the Tomcat fighter, and he was familiar with the Tomcat fighter just like his girlfriend's body.
Just when the Sparrow missiles were launched, the other side threw off all the Sparrow missiles, and Glitter knew that he was facing a first-class pilot of the Soviets. Those who can fly such state-of-the-art fighters must be the elite of the elite.
Although it was two against four, Glitter was not afraid, and he gave full play to the maneuverability advantage of the Tomcat fighter according to the tactics he had trained before.
Definitely not in the front hemisphere of the opponent! The opponent has an excellent fighting bullet and helmet scope! When he passed by, he saw the extra thing on the other person's head, and Glitter knew that what Mhammad said at that time was correct, so Glitter was more cautious.
Finally turned to the other party's back! Glitter made three side turns in a row and came to the back of a MiG-29, at this time, the pilot of the MiG-29, who was fighting with him, had already been stunned and did not know where he had arrived.
Coming down is to launch missiles! Glitter's hand was on the red button, and before it could be fired, he heard the radar officer in the rear cabin shouting: "At nine o'clock, there is a MiG!" ”
Glitter's hand pressed the button, and a Sidewinder missile shot out from under the wing, and then, he pulled the lever, and the Tomcat began to leap upwards.
"They fired missiles! Expected to arrive in five seconds! The radar operator in the aft compartment shouted.
Damn it! Glitter scolded, in just five seconds, can he get rid of it?
Countless infrared decoy bombs were released from the side of the Tomcat fighter, forming an infrared barrage, and at the same time, the Tomcat fighter began to roll to the side while jumping sharply.
"Boom!" The missile launched by Glitter shot down a MiG-29, and at the same time, his fighter plane was also hit with an explosion.
"Bang" Glitter ejected out of the cockpit, watched the radar officer behind him also eject out, and then watched the Tomcat fighter fall, Glitter's heart was very uncomfortable, he set two firsts for the Tomcat fighter, the first time he shot down the Soviet fighter piloted by the Soviets, and the first time he was shot down by the Soviets.
The battle was still going on, and in the rear, another four-plane formation of Tomcat fighters was rapidly approaching the airspace of the battlefield.
With the increasing speed of fighter jets and the rapid development of electronic equipment, the scene of fighter planes flying all over the sky in World War II will no longer appear, and if too many fighters are concentrated in one airspace, the first thing pilots need to face is not how to shoot down enemy planes, but how to ensure that they will not hit, and at the same time, it will become very difficult to distinguish friend or foe.
The engagement of more than a dozen warplanes is already a large-scale air battle.
Mhammad was in the command tower, continuing to listen to the battle situation ahead, and at the same time, he was also guessing the tactics of the Soviets, at this time, every second is precious, and at the same time, Mhammad was thinking quickly.
The two MiG-31s in the back are used as small early warning command aircraft, directing the MiG-29 in front of them to fight, what other conspiracy do they have?
Now, all the people are focused on the aircraft groups of the two warring sides, but ignore the two MiG-31s, and Mhammad's eyelids suddenly jumped, and he said: "Order the early warning aircraft and electronic jamming aircraft to fly 50 kilometers to the east." ”
Now, they're too close.
Hearing Mahmad's order, the AWACS aircraft in the air saw those two bright spots before they could respond, and they were speeding up rapidly.
The attack of the MiG-31 has begun again!
At the beginning of the air battle in front, it was almost at the same time determined that the two behind were MiG-31, due to the lack of maneuverability, they only acted as early warning aircraft in the back, and in the process of fighting between the two sides, these two MiG-31s gradually climbed to a high altitude, and then, turned on the afterburner, and quickly sprinted.
The distance is rapidly approaching, and the real purpose of their attack this time is not to engage Tomcat fighters, but to kill AWACS aircraft!
The MiG-31, which was high in the air, accelerated to Mach 2.5 and continued to fly, getting closer and closer.
The two Tomcat fighters escorting the escort immediately rushed forward, and the last battle has proved that the missiles equipped by the two sides are not much different, even if they are shot down, they must kill the two MiG-31s!
Rick listened to the air battle in front of him, and his heart was already itching, and now when he saw these two flying MiG-31s, he couldn't wait to fight.
The distance between the two sides is rapidly narrowing, and the radar officer in the rear cabin has begun to enter the countdown to the launch of the immortal bird.
Fifteen, one hundred and fourteen, and when the distance reached a hundred kilometers, the two sides fired missiles almost simultaneously.
Relying on active guidance in the last 20 kilometers, you can easily kill the opponent! With the experience of the last time, Rick was completely free of psychological pressure.
The immortal bird dragged the tongue of fire and disappeared into the sky, only the radar screen, still showing the point of light.
Interference! Full power interference! Based on the experience of the last time, the electronic jammer turned up the power to the maximum, hoping to jam the two incoming long-range missiles.
The AWACS aircraft was also constantly scanning, watching the point of light gradually get closer.
The two MiG-31s, drawing a huge arc in the air, flew outside.
The missile was launched, but the carrier aircraft flew away, because they were all missiles launched at a distance of about 100 kilometers, when the MiG-31 wanted to accelerate and escape, the two immortal bird missiles really couldn't catch up, and when they caught up, it was already the maximum range, and there was no meaning.
The carrier plane flew away, and the missiles are still flying! Although the jammer desperately released the interference, looking at the current situation, the other party was not disturbed at all!
At Peshawar Air Base, everyone held their breath and nervously watched the situation in the air. (To be continued......)
