Semi-active guidance, the warhead of the missile, only the receiving device, can not emit radar waves, so the whole process needs to be carried out by the carrier aircraft for radar irradiation, and the active radar, the seeker itself can both receive radar waves and emit radar waves, which means that the missile can fly autonomously at least at the end of the attack and no longer need the help of the carrier aircraft.

Therefore, it is quite a loss to engage active radar.

The Americans' Immortal Bird missile is such a weapon, which can enter the active mode at the end of the flight, otherwise, there will absolutely be no dashing combat example of attacking six targets at the same time.

Now, Ostrov has already retreated, and if he rushes forward like this, he will be sent to death.

Originally, the plan was good, the four fighters lined up in a formation, all fired medium-range bombs, and knocked down the target, but the other side suddenly used the magic weapon of multi-target attack, and as a result, the formation of the MiG-23 formation was disrupted, and they were forced to disperse.

The two fighters in the middle, although they were still flying forward, but the long plane was already timid, and after continuing to fly for a few seconds, he gave an order on the radio: "Attention, 090, turn sideways to get out." ”

As an old man, Ostrov is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that death is worthless, and he originally planned to rush up and shoot at each other, but thinking that the other party is taking the initiative to bomb, he has no ability to kill the other party, but the other party can put himself to death.

Therefore, Ostrov finally decided to dodge, and the opponent used this multi-target locking method, which must be easier to get rid of.

With that, Ostrov pushed the lever, kicked the rudder, and began to steer to the left.

And his wingman, too, turned to the left, as long as he turned to the direction of the perpendicular direction of the opponent's radar beam, he could get rid of the lock.

Sure enough, in his headphones, the locked sound was gone.

Got out of lockdown perfectly!

At this time, he is already perpendicular to the direction of flight just now, which means that the distance from the opponent will be farther and farther, and now, if you want to continue to intercept the opponent, you need to continue to make a reverse side turn!

"090, keep up." Ostrov shouted over the radio, and he continued to push the lever, pedaling the rudder, and his own fighter drew a graceful S-shaped curve in the sky.

"The other party gets out of lockdown." Here, Gus stared at his screen: "They did a serpentine maneuver. ”

Generally speaking, as long as the other side gets rid of the lock, these two missiles, even if they are fought in vain, but, of course, Gus will not give up.

As the other side continued to turn sideways, in a brief gap, Gus quickly operated the radar and locked onto the target again.

Locked again!

Gus was quite excited, at this time, the first Sparrow missile had disappeared, but the second Sparrow missile accurately received the reflected echo.

In the No. 090 fighter, the pilot followed his long plane and carried out maneuvers one by one.

The MiG-23 is equipped with the "Siren"-3 radar warning system, which is not an omnidirectional radar warning receiver, and in some special cases, its detection will be blocked.

When the radar is in the scanning state, the beam is dispersed into the airspace, and the radar wave energy illuminated on the aircraft is less, and when it is locked, it will concentrate on continuous wave irradiation, which is also the basic condition for the guidance of semi-active missiles.

In this way, as long as the warning antenna receives continuous strong radar wave irradiation. The alarm system will give an alarm. Prompt: The aircraft is locked.

Whether it can give a comprehensive early warning depends on whether the distribution of this antenna can be covered in place, and at the same time, it also has a lot to do with the post-processing of the warning system. After the United States had moved into a digital, low-cost and programmable new radar warning system, the Soviets were still tube-based.

Therefore, the pilots of the 090 fighter, who did not find a single Sparrow missile, had already flown from the sky in the distance!

Since the engine has burned out and entered the phase of unpowered inertial flight, it is difficult to detect that a missile is flying towards you unless you get the news in advance.

The ground radar could see it, but the ground radar had already detected that the first sparrow bomb had already flown over the two-plane formation, so they didn't pay attention to the second missile, thinking that it was also an uncontrolled rocket.

In the fierce air battle, in the midst of this encirclement, everyone was nervous, and the ground ignored the attention to this missile, and as a result, it made a big mistake.

"Boom!" The 40-kilogram continuous rod warhead exploded in the right position, and countless broken rods were scattered all over the airspace, and then the MiG-23 crashed into it.

In the air, a fireball flashed, and Ostrov shouted on the radio: "Makov, Makov!" He didn't care about calling the code number anymore, and called 090's name directly. ”

However, there was no echo from the radio, and the large fireball was slowly descending in the sky.

The third!

This one, which has nothing to do with Nathan, is entirely the credit of Lieutenant Gus, however, the two-seater fighter and the two crew members are the closest friends, regardless of each other, except for the wife who can't share it, the others are friendships, and the results of the battle are also counted on the heads of the two people.

"Killed one!" Gus was very excited in his heart, he suppressed his excitement and shouted to Nathan: "Attention, fifteen kilometers, one MiG-23 in front, and two more, will come from our side." ”

Although the echo of the two separate fighters has been lost on the radar, there is no doubt that the other party will definitely kill from both sides, but because they took the arc, it must be later than this fighter that came directly, and this time difference is the opportunity for Nathan to kill the enemy!

The time of air combat is calculated in seconds, and now, Nathan still has three Sidewinder missiles, and he is glad that he didn't hold it up this time, hanging two Sparrows and four Sidewinders, and now, finally using them!

Attack head-on again and lock on to your target!

Your own rattlesnake can be locked head-on, which gives you the best chance to kill the opponent in a head-on engagement.

However, at this moment, Nathan frowned: "Damn, the other party is so cunning!" ”

The opponent performed another S-maneuver, and when this time it was done, the sun was behind it!

Unless it is a seeker with a focal plane with infrared imaging capabilities, it can clearly distinguish the sun from the fighter, otherwise, all infrared missiles in this era will chase after them as long as they see the sun.

The latest rattlesnake is no exception.

What to do?
