At Iraq's H-3 air base, two planes slowly slid onto the runway, each carrying two huge missiles under their white-spoon wings. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

These two aircraft are the MiG-25 fighters, which have gradually fallen out of favor in the Iraqi Air Force.

Although the MiG-25 has the advantage of double three, but, in practice, it is not much use, most of the battles, in fact, take place in the transonic range, the backward aerodynamic layout of the MiG-25, and the gradual aging of the weapon system, it seems that this fighter is the same as other Soviet aircraft, into the end of gradual retirement.

However, Iraq did not do this, and in the process of mass-eliminating MiG-21, MiG-23 and other fighters, they carried out a medium-term life extension and improvement program for such fighters.

The focus of the improvement is its fire control system.

Although the MiG-25 radar has high power, it is only a last resort, because the Soviet Union has backward electronic technology, and has to use the method of increasing power to obtain a larger range, but its performance has not been substantially improved.

With the gradual development of Iraq's electronic technology, Iraq has developed several advanced radars with flat slot radars, and key solid-state circuits can be produced independently.

Because the diameter of the nose of the MiG-25 is large, the radar line diameter that Iraq has equipped it with is also the largest, so that the radar of the improved MiG-25 fighter has the ability to detect targets 200 kilometers away and lock on to attack.

In this way, the MiG-25 was reborn in Iraq, and the performance part reached the performance of the Soviet Union's improved MiG-31, although the MiG-31 used phased array radar, but it was not much more advanced than the Iraqi radar, and the cost was quite high.

Moreover, Iraq purchased a batch of R-25 missiles for the MiG-33 through secret channels and at a very low price. This missile is a long-range air-to-air missile produced by the USSR specifically for the MiG-31, and when it entered service in 82, it had a range of 120 km, and during this decade, the USSR was also improving this missile, and now, its range has reached 200 km! It is simply tailor-made for high-value targets such as AWACS.

Although Qusai attaches more importance to the KS-172 missile with a range of more than 400 kilometers, but now, this missile is still in the research and development stage and is not equipped with troops, even if Qusai wants to get it, I am afraid there is nothing he can do, he can empty the Soviet arsenal, but it has not been developed, there is nothing that can be done, right?

However, the acquisition of this missile has already satisfied Qusay, which means that the Iraqi Air Force has the ability to attack enemy AWACS aircraft.

Last time, it was just a soft kill of their white spoon air defense system, and this time, it will be a hard kill!

In the face of the invasion of the Israeli Air Force, the war machine of the Iraqi state has been turned to the maximum, and their preparations for several years have been put on the stage tonight.

After takeoff, the MiG-25 did not fly directly in the direction of Israel, through Syrian airspace, they flew in the direction of the Mediterranean.

It's all outside the detection area of Israeli radar, so Israel won't find out that they've already taken off two heavy fighter jets.

The MiG-25 turned on the afterburner and flew to an altitude of 25,000 meters, leaving them with little time to make a white spoon, and the sooner they knocked out the opponent's AWACS aircraft, the sooner they would help their own air force win a complete victory.

Israel did not hesitate to steal itself under the airliner in order to get rid of Iraq's AWACS plane, and Iraq also flew over the Mediterranean Sea and entered another airliner route.

The altitude dropped to 12,000, and the speed was reduced below the speed of sound. This route leads to Tel Aviv.

The two MiG-25s also used dense formations, so that even if they were detected by the other side's radar, they would only be considered a large passenger aircraft.

When the Israeli E-3 AWACS aircraft spotted the airliner at a distance of exactly four hundred kilometers, it did not care at first.

Although the E-3 early warning aircraft can accommodate more operators due to its relatively large space, in this fierce air battle, they are all busy directing the battle of their own air force, and their work efficiency will directly affect the victory of the front-line air force fighters.

In order to avoid being attacked by the Iraqi Air Force, the E-3 AWACS aircraft flew over the western part of Israel, almost close to the Mediterranean Sea.

The air battle of guiding their own fighters has already consumed all the energy of the AWACS aircraft, and they do not pay much attention to their own backs. A passenger plane 400 kilometers away does not pose any threat to them, even if the other side flies within 200 kilometers of them, it is not too late to mobilize fighters to escort them to intercept them.

It wasn't until the airliner deviated from its course and flew in the direction of their white spoon that in the first two minutes, the AWACS aircraft still thought that the airliner had yawed.

But a little later, they found out that something unusual, the airliner, suddenly split into two!

At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than three hundred kilometers.

Iraq's two MiG-25 fighters, turning on the afterburner, at the same time quickly climbed high.

The power of the double three fighters was once again exerted, and the noses in front of them pierced the night sky, and they were climbing up at a rapid pace, preparing to reach the edge of the earth.

The speed is constantly increasing, and the altitude is constantly increasing.

The greater the speed of the carrier aircraft, then the greater the initial velocity of the missile, so that it can get a longer range, and the thin air at high altitude and the reduced drag can also allow the missile to reach a greater range.

Therefore, the R-33 missile is prepared for the MiG-31 interceptor at the design stage, climbing to an altitude of 28,000 meters and accelerating to three times the speed of sound, then this missile can be allowed to obtain a range of up to 200 kilometers!

Israel's AWACS aircraft had already predicted the danger, and those two flew Iraqi MiG-25 fighters! Because, only that kind of plane, capable of flying at such a fast speed and altitude, now, its speed, has exceeded Mach two!

The two F-15s escorting next to the AWACS aircraft immediately met them.

Although the MiG-25 looks imposing, the missiles it carries will not exceed 40 kilometers at most, and its maneuverability is not high, so the F-15 is fully capable of defeating them at a distance of 100 kilometers from AWACS.

It's just that they don't know that this time they miscalculated.

The two MiG-25 planes climbed to an altitude of 28,000 meters, and at the same time, their speed had accelerated to Mach 3, and at this time, the distance between them and the opponent's early warning plane had reached 200 kilometers, while the Israeli F-15 escort fighter plane was still 140 kilometers away from them.

The F-15 also turned on the afterburner and arrived quickly.

The weapon operator in the back seat had already begun to prepare, using the radar in front of him to lock on to the target of his attack.

Spanking from behind the other party's ass is just enjoyable! If it were from the front, I am afraid that it would be intercepted from a distance of 200 kilometers.

A series of launch steps was completed, and two missiles were launched one after the other from under the wings.

At a distance of one hundred and eighty kilometers, two Iraqi MiG-25s, firing four long-range air-to-air missiles, aimed at AWACS aircraft in the distance.

At the same time, Iraq has also made striking at Iraq's early warning aircraft a priority task.

Last time, it was a soft kill, and this time, it's a hard kill!

The R-33 missile is similar in appearance to the Immortal Bird missile, and it also uses four ordinary wings, but there are four more tail fins, which can provide a certain amount of lift when flying. An ordinary rocket engine was used, and the ramjet engine used in the Soviet Union was not used.

However, the United States could not use the same tactics, because their white-spooned aircraft could not accelerate to such high speeds. There is no such thing as a prominent indicator of a volley, the ability to quickly reach the airspace. After the four missiles flew out, the two MiG-25 fighters did not immediately return home, although this missile is an active radar seeker missile, but the range of action is only 40 kilometers, in the initial stage, they still need to use carrier aircraft to guide.

However, unlike other medium-range missiles, this missile flies by inertia for the first few seconds, and in the middle of the process, it is guided by radio commands.

Therefore, the MiG-25 only needs to aim the nose roughly at the target, so that the target of the opponent's AWACS aircraft will not disappear from its field of vision, and at the same time, the on-board computer will constantly solve and send target data to the flying missile.

After superimposing the speed of the carrier aircraft, the missile finally accelerated to Mach 6. It takes just over a minute for them to reach the range of active guidance.

For more than a minute, even if the F-15 has the speed of the MiG-23, it will not be within the range of their White Spoon Sparrow missile.

In an instant, Israel's early warning planes sensed this danger, and they kept unleashing thousands of disturbances, hoping to get rid of the missile.

But, as in Iraq's case, they simply did not have enough maneuverability to dodge the four incoming missiles.

They did not expect that Iraq would have missiles with a range of almost 200 kilometers!

In war, such mistakes mean death.

The pilot of the F-15 saw this, and one of them gave up the interception, but returned to the airspace where the AWACS aircraft were located, and then, its course, between the Iraqi fighters and the AWACS aircraft, he hoped that he could use his body to help the AWACS aircraft block the missiles, so that the incoming missiles would take themselves as AWACS.
