Chapter 144: The Second F-117 Shot Down by the Second Plane
readx;
(Ask for a guaranteed monthly pass!) )
Oakes's plane was at the front of the formation, and behind him, the wingman had already discovered that the situation was not good, and Oaks's plane was shot down by an anti-aircraft missile below!
It's a total trap!
Wingman Michael immediately changed course, ending the bombing mission and flying into safe airspace, which was the most important thing. Pen&Fun&Pavilion www.biquge.info{{}}..
I thought that all the airspace could be used by them, but I didn't expect that just over Baghdad, they were actually shot down by a missile?
Michael didn't have time to think about all sorts of problems, and the most important thing was to terminate the bombing mission and return safely.
As a backup plane, the No. 3 aircraft was still far away, and after getting the news, it also immediately began to return home.
The people in the underground command hall are all looking at those two points of light, they have already achieved the record of shooting down one plane, but do you want to let the other two slip away?
The data analysis has come out, and it is a problem with the computer processing program of the meter-wave radar network, which has led to insufficient guidance, and the SAM-10 radar has detected the error, and they will improve it in the future, so that this kind of system can exert enough power, but now, they can no longer send shè anti-aircraft missiles to shoot down. {{}} fired ten missiles, only one hit.
"Take off the Mirage 4000 immediately, and under the command of the radar network, guide it to engage within visual range." Qusay personally gave the order.
In the dark, it was not easy to find the Nighthawk that was almost integrated with the night sky, but it was the only way they could use it.
Two Mirage 4000s, with afterburner turned on, carried out emergency take-off and lift-off operations.
Originally, the MiG-25 was more suitable for the task of carrying out interception operations, but the electronic equipment of the MiG-25 was backward, and although its radar was powerful, it was not afraid of electromagnetic interference, but it was "unable to see clearly", so it could not play a big role in dealing with stealth aircraft, and the missiles it carried were not as advanced as the Mirage 4000.
The Mirage 4000 in the current situation, can also not use the medium-range sky flash missile, can only use the close-range R-73 missile, this missile is the technology of the mid-eighties of the Soviet Union, more advanced, although the Mirage 4000 radar can not lock on to the target, however, you can use the infrared seeker to lock on to the target, or, at a closer distance, use the cannon to kill the opponent. {{}}
In the dark night sky, visibility was very low, and Omar was engrossed, carefully searching the airspace around him.
From time to time, the voice of the ground guide came from the earphones, and in Iraq, frequency-hopping radio stations have long been popularized, and they have a strong ability to resist electromagnetic interference. Everything that Qusay has laid out is aimed at future wars.
Everything, it seems, is back to the fifties and sixties, when the mode of air combat, although there were missiles, it was still necessary to rely on machine guns, and pilots needed to visually find targets and attack, both during the day and at night.
Accustomed to the non-contact pattern of using radar lock-ons and then firing shè missiles, Iraqi pilots maintained basic flight training, such as finding targets visually.
They already know that there is a certain error in the radar guidance on the ground, and this error is about 500 meters to 1,000 meters, and in this case, it is very difficult for them to rely on the guidance of the ground alone, because, under the current conditions, the distance of visual search will not exceed 500 meters!
The people on the ground were worried for a while, and they obviously saw that the two points of light representing their own side and the one point of light representing the enemy were almost overlapping, but why did their pilots still report that they had not found the target?
Another enemy plane has already slipped away, and if this one is let go again, it will be very imperfect. {{}}
President Qusay's expression says it all, a gesture that must be defeated.
Qusay is very concerned because he knows what it means to take down this stealth plane.
The Americans, with their own advanced technology, thought that they could fly freely in other people's skies, and here, they would be hit on the head!
In this way, the actions of the Americans will be restrained, and until they find out how Iraq discovered and shot down their planes, they will absolutely not dare to send any stealth planes to violate Iraq's airspace, and Iraq cannot be on guard at all times, and their system is actually not perfect, if the Americans' target this time is Basra, then they will certainly not be aware of it. {{}}
Shooting down one, so to speak, by coincidence, shooting down two, that is, there must be a secret weapon.
More importantly, the downed plane will definitely fall into Iraq's territory, and obtaining the wreckage of such a plane will also be of great help to Iraq.
In the new century, which is the century of stealth aircraft, no matter how many ways there are to counter stealth aircraft, they are not the ultimate solution, and having stealth aircraft is the king.
Iraq can get a lot of technical secrets from the wreckage of the American F-117.
It would have been nice to have a full F-117, but Cusai knew it was a dream.
Michael was very nervous, just now, he could almost see the two planes flying not far from him, fortunately, he was not spotted.
Nighthawk is a bandit who is completely in the dark, not only radar stealth, but also visual, because the surface skin can be integrated with the night sky, and it is not so easy to detect. On the contrary, if you fly during the day, it is an excellent target. {{}}
Under the cover of the night sky, it flew out of Iraq's airspace and it was safe.
Seeing that plane, about to leave the central area of the meter-wave radar, the further outward, the worse the jing, until the best, disappeared into the dark night sky.
Could it be that the robbers were allowed to slip away like this?
The people on the ground are in a hurry, and the pilots in the sky are still trying to figure out a way. Omar had searched for the third time, but still found nothing, and he knew that if he continued like this, he could only let the other party go.
Suddenly, he thought of another method, turned on the fire control system, and then, activated the seeker of an R-73 missile.
Radar stealth, optical stealth, infrared stealth, as the first stealth aircraft, F-117 does a better job in all aspects, for example, as the largest source of heat radiation on the aircraft, the engine, F-117 also uses additional cooling, it has an auxiliary intake valve in front, and part of the cold air bypasses the engine and mixes with the exhaust for cooling. The rear fuselage has a narrow slit engine vent in the shape of a "platypus" mouth, a long lower lip, a heat shield tile used by the space shuttle, and 11 vertical deflectors in the vent. The lower edge has an inclined plate that rises backward and upward, which weakens the radar anti-shè behind the tail and also has a shielding effect on infrared radiation.
By fully mixing with cold air, the exhaust temperature is very low, which greatly improves the infrared stealth effect.
However, this stealth method only reduces the infrared rays of the downward radiation, and there is still a large source of radiation.
The R-73 missile carried by the Mirage 4000 is an excellent close-range combat missile, and the seeker adopts an infrared homing guidance system equipped with a deep-chilled photodetector, which has high sensitivity and the distance to intercept the target, and ensures the all-round attack capability of the missile.
The R-73 has excellent head-on attack capabilities, and can feel the temperature of the nose of the aircraft due to the heat generated by friction with the air, not to mention the tail chase search for the infrared radiation source of the F-117, needless to say, it is now above the F-117.
In actual combat, this is a premise, that is, to guide one's own fighters to a relatively close distance from the F-117.
Now, all situations are satisfied.
Omar looked at the multifunction display in front of him, and finally, the graphic display that excited him showed that the R-73 seeker, after a week of nimbly spinning, intercepted the target!
The seeker of the R-73 missile is synchronized with the helmet sight, so after activating the missile, the missile's seeker is also searching synchronously as Omar searches the surrounding airspace.
Although Omar's eyes still didn't find a target, the R-73's eyes were brighter than his, and they had already found a target!
The rest, it's simple, send shè missiles!
Michael, like the hapless Oakes, was hit by a missile from behind without any consciousness.
When a violent explosion was heard from behind, Michael immediately realized that he had been hit.
Without any hesitation, Michael immediately pulled the bullet shè handle between his legs, and the top canopy was ejected, and then, the rocket on the seat ignited, and Michael successfully ejected the cockpit.
The F-117 is not the same bubble cockpit as other US fighters, so it is not a shè cover gun to hit four holes, and then the seat is opened on top, and the top is skin, so the cockpit cover must be thrown off before it can be played.
Watching his plane turn into a fireball, although Michael managed to escape, he was still very nervous, and from the moment he was about to land, he had to start running non-stop! He needed to travel through Iraq to Kuwait and be able to return to the United States with the help of agents from the American side.
Unbeknownst to Michael, he was lucky compared to Oakes.
Oakes was still trying to cāo make the plane.
It's not that Oakes doesn't want to escape, but because, his bullet seat, is out of order.
The flashing red lights on the front dashboard were shocking, but when Oakes pulled the flick handle and was about to get out of here, he realized that there was no reaction? (To be continued.)
