An umbrella flower, blooming in the air, Belosvich was very frustrated, just now, pull the catapult handle, the cap gun pierced through the cockpit cover, the rocket on the seat ignited, the cockpit cover flew out of the top open, until the seat fell off, the parachute opened, a series of actions, so that he had no time to react at all, until he watched his plane crash and turn into a fireball, he became the first pilot to parachute in the battle with the Pakistan Air Force.

The battle in the air continued, in addition to Belosvich and his wingman climbing high, the other two MiG-23s, in horizontal circles, two fighters biting Bashar's Jian-6, trying to shoot him down.

Bashar is one against two, not afraid at all, the main tactic of J-6 is fighting, unless it is a competition for extreme speed, J-6 only breaks through the speed of sound, and does not have twice the speed of sound, but, compared with the low-altitude fighting, J-6 is not inferior.

A MiG-23 went around the tail of the J-6 and immediately guided its own R-60 missile, and as long as it kept up with it for two or three seconds, it could launch the R-60 missile.

When he found himself being followed, Bashar nimbly pushed the lever to the right, and at the same time pedaled the rudder, and the J-6 made a deft turn and moved his blazing tail out of the nose range of the MiG-23.

The pilot of the MiG-23 followed the push rod and pedaled the rudder, wanting to steer with him, but the MiG-23 needed a radius of more than 2,000 meters, and he could not keep up with the rotation of the J-6, so he could only watch the J-6 disappear into his field of vision in the front hemisphere.

"Danger, pull up!" The voice of another pilot came from the headset, and the MiG-23 had been bitten by the tail of the J-6.

After being bitten, he could only get rid of it by pulling up, because of the maneuver in the horizontal direction, he was completely downwind, but. The encounter with the captain of their squadron just now also shows that in terms of vertical maneuvering, they do not have an advantage.

When Bashar saw the other party pull up, he did not hesitate to follow the pull-up, following a curved course, and kept following.

In the back of Bashar. The other MiG-23, which was following Bashar at the same time, also began to spin and rise.

Despite the presence of enemy planes behind him, Bashar remained undaunted, his eyes were firmly fixed on the MiG-23 above, and at the same time he began to lassothe opponent with the movable ring of the sight.

You can't escape, damn the Soviets! Bashar followed him for two seconds before pressing the fire button.

"Tom tom." In the process of vertical climbing, Bashar opened fire. Three 30-mm cannons, dragging tracers, fired shells, flew straight to the MiG-23 above.

"045, get rid of it immediately, the enemy plane behind launched a missile!" Hussein was fighting another MiG-23 while observing the situation on the battlefield with the rest of his eyes, when he spotted Bashar shooting at the same time. When the MiG-23 in the back also fired missiles, Hussein immediately reminded.

In such maneuvers with large overloads. The Soviets were also able to launch missiles? It seems that the performance of their missiles is not as bad as it was said in training.

When Bashar wants to shoot, he must stabilize the plane, and his action also gives the MiG-23 behind him a chance.

If Bashar pulls the rod out of the way, then. His shells would not be able to shoot down the plane above, and at the same time, after disengagement, he would soon be in a situation where he was being pursued by these two MiG-23s. It's hard to turn defeat into victory.

So, Bashar gritted his teeth and continued to push the nose of the plane, watching the shells fall on the opponent's fuselage, making holes one by one, and he continued to shoot.

"Boom!" Bashar hit for three seconds in a row, and the MiG-23 in front turned into a fireball, which was brutally exploded by Bashar.

Bashar jerked his lever back, trying to dodge the fireball in front of him and avoid the missile attack from behind, when an explosion was heard from his tail.

The R-60 launched by the MiG-23 in the back accurately hit the tail of the Jian-6, and after the missile was launched, the MiG-23 in the back flew to the side to prevent accidental damage by the fragments of the enemy aircraft.

At this time, the distance between the two sides is only a few hundred meters, and the infrared-guided R-60 has no possibility of missing the target.

Bashar felt the tail of the plane tremble violently with the explosion, and he used all his strength to level the plane, and at the same time, he felt that the plane could still be controlled.

The MiG-23 continued to rush up, wanting to launch a second R-60 missile, and the pilots were not satisfied with this record.

In previous air battles, pilots found that the missiles they were equipped with were not easy to use, because they had to visually confirm the type of target and judge whether it was an enemy aircraft or a friendly aircraft, the use of medium-range missiles was not very frequent, and for short-range missiles, the process of locking the target by the early missile infrared search system was very time-consuming, and the angle at which the target could be locked was very small. This requires the pilot to be able to lock on to the target and keep track of it, and at the same time, the pilot is in extreme danger. So, coincidentally, in the late 60s, the United States and the USSR simultaneously conceived a new missile of small volume designed specifically for close air combat. It does not have a large range, but it has a small weight and volume. Launching them is capable of striking a large number of enemy aircraft entering the airspace, and at the same time is very flexible, and this kind of missile, specifically called combat missiles.

The R-60 missile is a product of this concept, it belongs to the third generation of air-to-air missiles, the front is a hemispherical seeker, the back has four rectangular fixed and stable wings, and the trapezoidal tail behind to ensure the stability of the missile's flight, and the front section of the missile body is also equipped with four triangular wings to control the flight direction of the missile. This special structure gives this missile outstanding maneuverability.

However, in order to maintain a slim size and improve mobility, it is equipped with only a high-explosive fragmentation warhead weighing 6 kg, which is 53% of the warhead of the K-13 of the previous generation and 67% of the warhead of the Sidewinder missile. The attack power of such a warhead is insufficient. Although this missile successfully hit the Jian-6, it only damaged one of the Jian-6's engines, and the other turbojet-6 engine was still running, pushing the Jian-6 fighter and flying leisurely.

"The Pakistan Air Force is rapidly flying towards airspace No. 6 and immediately withdrawing to Afghan airspace." The voice of the guide at the Bagram base was heard in the headphones.

Retreat immediately? Watching the J-6 swaying and trying to return home, Konstantinich, the pilot of the MiG-23, skillfully turned the fire control to another R-60 missile, preparing to attack again.

"045, hold on!" Hussein shouted over the radio as he let go of the MiG-23 he was fighting with as the other side sped back into Afghan airspace, turning the nose of the plane and flying in this direction.

Bashar's J-6 has already been damaged, it is very difficult to maintain a flight attitude, and it will definitely not be able to withstand the next attack, and Hussein has to save his wingman.

The opponent was flying steadily, preparing to launch the missiles under the wings, and, not noticing Hussein in the slightest, gave Hussein the opportunity to fly over quickly, while firmly lasing the movable ring of the sight to the opponent, and then pressed the firing button.

There was no vibration from the fuselage, only the hissing of the AC motor was heard, and Hussein's heart suddenly tightened.

I was still in too much of a hurry just now, and I ran out of shells!

The Jian-6 is equipped with three 30-mm guns, which are so powerful that as long as the enemy plane is hit by one shot, it will be damaged, but the shortcomings of this kind of artillery are also obvious, and there are too few ammunition in reserve.

Each of the 70 shells, three guns a total of 210 shells, if you keep firing, you can use all the shells in five seconds, just in order to kill the enemy plane, Hussein pressed the firing button, has already shot all the shells.

What to do?

At this moment, Konstantinich poked his head out of the small cockpit and saw the J-6 flying from the side, and was immediately shocked, the other party occupied the best attack position, but why not attack? He was just about to pull the lever to get rid of it, but he stopped abruptly.

If the other party could attack, it would have attacked a long time ago, is it that there are no shells? Seeing that it only takes another second to launch missiles under the wing, Konstantin gritted his teeth and insisted on this second to beat the other party down!

What to do? Two Sidewinder missiles have been launched, the shells have run out, and I have no weapons and no time! Seeing that the opponent was about to launch a missile, Hussein slammed on the afterburner, pushed the operating lever, and the nose of the aircraft was aimed at the opponent's fuselage and crashed into it!

A distance of a few hundred meters, in a blink of an eye! In order to save his comrades-in-arms, he would rather sacrifice himself!

Konstantinich pressed the launch button, and the seeker of the R-60 had successfully locked on to the wounded fighter, and it was absolutely impossible for the other side to get rid of it.

At this moment, he suddenly found his side, and the other Jian-6 was crashing towards him quickly!

Damn, are Pakistanis crazy?

Konstantinich had no choice but to press down on the lever to dodge the impact.

The R-60 missile under the wing, which had already successfully locked onto the J-6 in front, emitted green smoke from the tail and was about to break away from the pylon. At this moment, it suddenly felt its head bow and its body downward. It tried to quickly keep up with its target, but its seeker couldn't rotate at a large angle, and the target escaped from its line of sight.

The rocket engine in the tail section continued to ignite, pushing the missile out of the pylon, however, it had already lost its target.

Konstantin's MiG-23, in a rapid downward dive, skillfully maneuvered the fighter plane, and burrowed into the gap in the mountains ahead.

Seeing that the fuel gauge began to rush to the point, Hussein gave up his intention to pursue, the J-6's voyage was very short, and it was time to return.

Four Mirage 3 fighters appeared in Hussein's field of vision, formed a prismatic formation, quickly disappeared from Hussein's eyes, and burrowed into the mountains to find the plane that had stolen the fleeing Soviets. (To be continued......)
