Chapter 989: Super Seven Helps
readx;
The main weapon of the J-6, except for the Sidewinder missile, is the cannon. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info{{}}
In this era, although air-to-air missiles have been widely used, machine guns are still a common way of air combat, and the training of the Pakistan Air Force in this regard is also very good.
Hasmi quickly switched the fire control to the cannon, and by this time, the distance between the two sides was close to five hundred meters, and he used his sight to move the aura and began to try to trap the opposing plane.
But it didn't work, the pilot of the MiG-23, knowing that there was an aircraft behind, was maneuvering with a large load, and the opponent's turning angle was very fast, and the J-6's backward fire control method couldn't catch the plane at all, and the halo had been thrown aside. Hasmi immediately made a decision, immediately switched to a fixed aura, and corrected the advance amount according to the target projection according to the large angle of entry, and what he aimed at was only the front of the opponent's possible position, which was completely an anti-air shè.
The three 30-mm guns began to spit out tongues of fire, and at this time, the plane happened to appear in the place covered by tongues of fire, and suddenly, the pilot felt the plane tremble, and then, countless holes appeared in the fuselage. The MiG-23 was hit and exploded in the air.
Major Pokitaukin's eyes almost erupted with anger, they had already recognized that it was a backward J-6 fighter in the Pakistan Air Force, but it was this modification of the MiG-19 that had long been eliminated in the Soviet Air Force that actually knocked them down with a white spoon of MiG-23! Moreover, it is still an aerial gun!
He and the wingman behind him didn't dare to send a shè missile just now, for fear of accidentally injuring their friendly plane, and now, the plane was shot down by the other side, and they themselves had no scruples, and each fired an R-60 missile. {{}}
Seeing that the plane turned into a fireball, Major Poqitaugin breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect that a backward Jian-6 fighter actually knocked out a MiG-23 of them, fortunately, shot down the other party, if they let the Jian-6 run away, they would not have the face to go back.
At this moment, the sound of the radar warning receiver came from the headphones, and they had been locked by the radar!
Just when the Jian-6 was fighting bravely, the four Super 7 fighters that took off from the rear base finally rushed to the airspace, and they all carried Sparrow air-to-air missiles and Sidewinder combat missiles.
The 18th Fighter Squadron, which was reequipped with Super 7 fighters from last year, was also the fifth time that they took off to carry out combat missions. {{}}
Jamal Soleimani, the pilot of the long plane, calmly ordered his fighters to follow the instructions of the guide inside, enter the war zone, and at the time of 80 kilometers, they turned on their fire control radar.
The Pakistan Air Force's Super Seven fighter is equipped with the same fire control system as Iraq's F-20, which uses the AN/APG67 radar as the main equipment of the fire control system, which is more advanced than the F-16, and it has the ability to guide medium-range Sparrow missiles, and, with its relationship with the United States, the Pakistan Air Force is equipped with AIM-7F Sparrow missiles, which are more advanced than those of the Iraqi Air Force.
"Attention, prepare to send shè sparrow missiles." Jamal shouted over the radio.
At this time, the Soviet air force on the opposite side only cared about besieging the J-6 fighter and shot down their white-spoon companions with cannons, which already made them angry, they didn't know that they had been targeted by missiles.
When he heard the sound of the radar in the headset and the receiver, Major Pokitaugin knew that his side had been attacked, and he immediately ordered the formation to dive.
At this distance, the opponent must have used medium-range bombs, and medium-range bombs of this era generally lack the ability to look down and shè, so as long as you take advantage of the terrain of the complex mountainous area below, you can let the opponent's missiles unlock. {{}}
Just when the MiG-23 formation began to dive, the Super 7 formation had already fired a Sparrow missile each, and then, it discovered the dive of the opponent's formation.
The radar of the super seven has a very powerful ability, which can detect the opponent's low-flying fighter from the complex echo on the ground, but it does not necessarily send the AIM-7F missile, which has low resistance to the radar signal from the ground, especially when the downward view is carried out at low altitude. It was not until the AIM-7M, equipped with a new reverse single-pulse seeker, that the low-altitude combat capability was significantly increased, and this seeker was the result of the American plagiarism of the empty flash.
Therefore, the short-range air-to-air flash missiles introduced by Iraq stand in the forefront of medium-range air-to-air missiles, and the soon-to-be-launched active short-range flashes have Iraq's combat capability equivalent to that of the AIM-120.
The air battle proceeded quickly, and the sweep angle of the three MiG-23 fighters was adjusted to the maximum, which gave them excellent low-altitude star energy, which is also the advantage of the variable sweep wing.
The four Sparrow missiles that flew in were all unlocked, and at this time the MiG-23 fighters had already dived into the mountains, and they were flying at an ultra-low altitude in the mountains. {{}}
Jamal was not discouraged, and on the radar screen in front of him, he had already seen that all the missiles had lost their targets, while the opposing planes had gone into the mountains.
Can't let them slip away! Their two Jian-6 were all shot down by them, and they must take revenge!
Super Seven was divided into two two-plane formations, and they also descended in height.
"Let Pakistan come in and see the real level of our Soviet pilots." Major Pochitaugin shouted over the radio that they were all excellent pilots, and their flying skills were far higher than those of the Afghan Air Force.
And this time it was intercepted by the opponent's medium-range missile, and they knew that it must be the kind of super seven fighter newly equipped by the other side, this kind of fighter is improved from the MiG-21, and the MiG-21 is developed based on the experience of jet fighters in air combat in the Korean War, which requires lightness, flexibility, fast climbing, good transonic and supersonic speed, and strong firepower. High-altitude and high-speed xing energy is put in the first place, and ultra-low-altitude xing energy is not out of sè. {{}}
So, in the USSR, the MiG-21 was only partially equipped, and the MiG-23 was heavily equipped.
In the mountains west of Basstan, a low-altitude battle was staged in the airspace that was common in the era of propeller aircraft cannon attacks, but now moved to fast jets.
After entering the low altitude, the MiG-23 was quickly divided into single aircraft, because it is not fun to keep up with the long plane in the mountains, and if you are not careful, you will risk hitting the mountain.
The four super sevens, divided into two two-plane formations, flew towards the interior of the mountainous area.
At an altitude of more than a thousand meters, after visually spotting a MiG-23 flying below in front, Jamal and Nawaz flew over.
The prototype of the Super Seven, the low-altitude Xing energy of the MiG-21, is indeed not very outstanding, however, after becoming the Super Seven, the low-altitude Xing energy has been greatly improved, because it uses a double delta wing structure, which is optimized for close combat.
They were head-on, none other than Major Pochitaugin's MiG-23.
Major Pochitaugin also saw the two Super Sevens, and the planes that appeared in his sight were completely different from the MiG-21, was that really the Super Seven modified from the MiG-21? Or is it another kind of aircraft?
Whatever it is, knock him down!
Major Pochitaugin turned on the afterburner, and the MiG-23 made a sè climb towards the two planes, flying over.
As he flew, Major Pochitaugin turned on the fire control system, and Cāo made an R-60 missile under his wing, which was the latest modification of the R-60 missile, which was only equipped with the Air Force in the late 70s, and had a head-on attack capability.
The super seven is now mounted, is AIM-9P1 missile, which is a kind of air-to-air missile invested and developed by the US Air Force mainly for export, and is also equipped with a large number of Pakistan Air Force, however, this missile is not like the AIM-9L mounted on the F-16, with omnidirectional attack capability, only when it is improved to the AIM-9P4 type, some of the technology of AIM-9L is adopted, and it has the same all-round target finder as the L type, and has the ability to attack in all directions.
So, in the process of this head-on attack, Major Pokitaugin had the advantage, he kept the nose of the plane rushing at the opponent, let the seeker of the R-60M missile, lock on to the infrared radiation shè source, and then, shè missile.
"Pay attention, the other side sent a missile, released an infrared decoy bomb, and maneuvered to avoid flying." Jamal said.
The missile was headed for Nawaz.
Nawaz felt the blood rushing up all over his body, he was a new pilot, although in the aviation school and field troops, his skills were very good, but this was the first real battle, there was only one chance, and it was the difference between life and death.
"Bang, bang, bang." Infrared decoy bombs were released from the tail of the aircraft and scattered in the sky, like fireworks.
Then, he pressed the slope and dived sharply in the direction of forty-five degrees to the right.
One way to evade infrared-guided air-to-air missiles is to release infrared decoy bombs and high-speed dives when the opponent is approaching.
Different from the tail chase attack, in the head-on attack, the speed difference between the two sides is very large, and at the same time, due to the limitation of the seeker, the field of view is not very large, so release the infrared decoy bomb and let it lure the opponent's missile there, and then, as long as the speed of the dive is fast enough, it can disappear from the opponent's field of view, that is, let the opponent lose the target.
Nawaz was overloaded, he felt the muscles in his face about to be torn off, and the high mountain below was rushing towards him, and he was making a dive, and here, the altitude was very low, and he was in danger of hitting the mountain at any time.
However, he was confident in his fighter.
It was only when the height dropped sharply to 400 meters that he pulled the cāo pole backwards and pulled it up when he was almost touching the tip of the mountain.
Major Pochitaugin did not have time to fire the second missile, and the two sides passed by.
