Chapter 605: Second Volley

"The radar signal disappeared, and the MiG-25 had flown away...... The major said: "They can't ...... us"
This time, in such a close confrontation with the MiG-25, the SR-71, a reconnaissance aircraft, without any weapons, relied on its superiority in high altitude and high speed to throw off the MiG-25. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧
Heard that the MiG-25 had flown away...... The major pulled the throttle stick of his left hand back, just now, unconsciously, he piloted the SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft, once again creating a new speed, for the first time in his driving career, he drove the Blackbird to 3.5 times the speed of sound, the two engines are very powerful, the Blackbird is the most powerful fighter!
The reconnaissance plane began to slow down, and the engine, which had been working at full speed, finally began to slow down.
"Adjust the course to 1-3-Chapter 605 Second Volley 1, the speed has dropped to Mach 2.2, the altitude is twenty-two, it's time for us to do our work...... The major said that in normal reconnaissance, the speed and altitude are fine, but this time, in addition to using synthetic aperture radar to survey the local landscape and find the exact location of a possible nuclear explosion, they also need to monitor whether there are trace amounts of radiation from underground nuclear explosions exposed in the stratosphere, so the altitude and speed need to be slightly lower. ≦≧
By this time, they had already flown into the central part of Yazd, and in these areas, it was simply impossible for Iraqi planes to appear.
"We are radar again, or are we AWACS aircraft from Iraq...... The major said.
Iraq's AWACS aircraft, because they were already far away from them, after the failure of the volley, they were also flying north. In addition, the radar scanning distance of the early warning aircraft is relatively long, so the blackbird has not yet flown out of the radar scanning range of the hunting fan.
"Leave it alone, we have ten minutes to get rid of the damned AWACS...... The major said that no matter how powerful the radar of the AWACS aircraft is, it will not be loaded with anti-aircraft missiles, and their flight speed will not exceed the speed of sound. The Blackbird will soon leave the AWACS far behind......
They didn't know that ahead, there was a huge Chapter 605 Second Volley Trap waiting for them.
Blackbirds glow blue all over their bodies and fly in Iranian airspace with impunity. ≦≧
Kadham and his wingman had lowered their altitude to fifteen thousand meters, and they had been flying non-stop afterburner just now, and the fuel was consumed very quickly, and he had the rest of the fuel. Just enough to return to base.
Kadem was very depressed, what the hell was that guy with blue light all over his body? At the same time, he hoped that his companions, the two MiG-25s in the Bakhtalan area, would succeed in shooting down the flying object.
Pilot Kazai was in a relaxed mood at this time, he used to be Reyer's wingman, and he saw Reyer's bold and pungent style, and he flew an advanced fighter that could fly up to Mach 3 to intercept this UFO flying from high altitude and high speed. Just the right fit!
He already knew that Squadron Leader Kadham had failed, and in the process of their head-on volley, because the speed of both sides was too fast to successfully lock on to each other, they had to volley each other from the side!
At this point, the newly equipped C3i system comes into play again, with information transmitted via the Link4 data link in contrast to voice guidance. ≦≧ contains more content, the speed of information transmission is faster, and the distance between their own side and the other party is refreshed at any time, so that their volleys are more confident.
In order not to expose themselves, the two MiG-25s did not turn on the radar, they just kept adjusting their positions.
"Climb to 25,000 meters." Kazai said to his wingman. Then, he pulled his stick back, and the fighter began to ascend.
Although the MiG-25 was after entering service. The ceiling was limited to 24,400 meters, but during the test flight, it flew to an altitude of more than 30,000 meters (the highest record was 39,000 kilometers), and the speed repeatedly exceeded Mach 3......
Now, they have risen to 23,000 meters, and in order to intercept them, they need to continue to climb high, because missiles are mounted under the wings, and at high altitude, the planes are already beginning to show signs of instability.
Kazai is fearless, this is the first time he has driven the MiG-25 to such heights, on the battlefield, all forbidden areas can be broken!
Finally, the AWACS aircraft could not detect the traces of the Blackbird, and the rest of the work was handed over to a long-range radar station in eastern Iraq, which had also been connected to Iraq's C3I system, and the handover of command was very smooth. ≦≧
On that monitor in the lobby of the Ministry of Defense, which represents the trajectories of the two planes, is getting closer.
"Irradiated by Iraqi ground-based radar...... The major said: "It is a long-range early warning radar, not a fire control radar for surface-to-air missiles, and the other side should not have deployed anti-aircraft missiles here, according to the original plan...... The Major lowered the altitude to 21,000 meters, which was already a dangerous altitude, but it was at this altitude that it was possible to better detect possible leaks of radiation from the ground and provide the most favorable evidence for his side.
Their mission was very important because they needed to determine the exact center of the earthquake in Bakhtaran, draw a detailed map with the synthetic aperture radar they carried, and use high-precision cameras to quickly take the photos below, all of which were state-of-the-art technology from the Blackbird, and with the speed of the Blackbird, it only took 6 minutes to take high-resolution photos covering the whole of Italy. ≦≧ order to avoid errors caused by the forward flight of the aircraft, the reconnaissance camera is mounted on a guide rail, and it moves backwards when taking pictures, so that the camera is stationary relative to the ground.
Although reconnaissance satellites are now widely used, there are times when early warning aircraft such as Blackbirds are still needed, for example, to collect radioactive residues in the atmosphere, and reconnaissance satellites cannot do it under any circumstances.
The two are very confident in the blackbird under the crotch...... The major is fully prepared, they are about to enter the sky over the Bakhtaran area, all the reconnaissance equipment, will immediately start to work, their thrilling flight, is about to enter the most critical moment.
Although it was still being scanned by that radar signal...... The major didn't pay much attention, they were now flying at an altitude of 21,000 meters at a speed of Mach 2.2, and if there were missiles on the ground, they would have enough time to get rid of the other party's missiles.
Blackbirds have been shot at countless missiles, but never touched their side!
Moreover, the failure of the interception of the MiG-25 fighters of the Iraqis just now gave them greater confidence in their aircraft, and they did not know that the record that the Blackbird had always held, would be broken with them.
The other party actually slowed down! What a great opportunity, at this time, the MiG-25 in the sky, already approaching from the west of Bakhtalan, about sixty kilometers from the Blackbird, also accelerated to Mach 2.
Moreover, at this time, the MiG-25 was to the southeast, and the Blackbird was to the north, and the two sides became almost a hundred degrees at an angle.
Under the wings of the MiG-25, two missiles, have already been activated.
R-40 missiles, was the USSR by Matus? In February 1962, the 4th Experimental Design Bureau, later known as the Lightning, began to develop a new air-to-air missile. At the beginning of the design, it was equipped with the MiG-25 to intercept the new generation of long-range strategic bombers and SR-71 high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft of the United States B-70 (not in active service).
Therefore, the appearance of this missile is not different from that of other air-to-air missiles, but rather somewhat like the shape of the Immortal Bird missile. Although there is a canard aerodynamic layout, the main control surface is not a canard wing but a rear bomb wing. The trailing edge of the trapezoidal wing with a large sweep angle is equipped with four rudder surfaces to control the flight of the missile.
This missile has two types of seeker, the infrared-guided version, which is thicker and more rounded and blunt, and the semi-active radar-guided warhead is thinner and sharper. Aerodynamic overheating in the case of high Mach is very severe, so this missile is designed with many new means, for example, it uses high-energy metal fuel, adds an insulation layer to the titanium shell, a special freon cooling system, high-temperature ceramics are used in the head of the missile, and the infrared seeker is a high-temperature resistant optical heat-insulating ceramic.
Because Iraq will face an air threat at any time, Iraq's warplanes will take off with live ammunition on their loads at any time and will be thrown into battle at any time, which is absolutely different from the pursuit of security in peacetime.
The Iran-Iraq war has forged Iraq's powerful war machine.
Iraqi pilots have also trained themselves into a powerful air force in the war, even if they fly the old MiG-21, they dare to fight bayonets in the air with any enemy who invades the airspace!
What's more, it is an opponent in chess, and use the high-altitude and high-speed MiG-25 to intercept the same high-altitude and high-speed SR-71!
The Soviet Union did not intercept successfully, because it did not know where the opponent's destination was, and could not complete the air ambush, and Iraq was different, Qusay had prejudged the final destination of the other party, and it happened that at this time there were Iraqi MiG-25 fighters, everything was very coincidental, although the first volley failed, but they were definitely not discouraged!
"Turn on the radar and prepare to launch the missile." Qaddai said.
The powerful Echo A radar has finally begun to show its presence, and at an altitude of more than 20,000 meters, strong electromagnetic waves are flooding the calm sky, and here, the place guarded by the Iraqi Air Force...... On the panel of the defense system in front of the major, a signal suddenly appeared, and sixty kilometers away from himself, two MiG-25s suddenly appeared! Moreover, the other party flew from the side!
