Chapter 244: The Best Crew

Andrey's Super MiG-25, which is accelerating, gives the best conditions for the launch of the R-33.

Any aircraft, when launching a missile, needs to accelerate, after all, it can give the missile an additional initial launch speed, the greater this speed, the farther the missile will fly.

In this regard, the MiG-25 is the most advantageous, since it is the fastest.

Don't worry about the problem of thermal barriers, the flight speed of missiles is more than Mach 3, the missile has long solved the problem of thermal barriers, what needs to be solved is the launch mechanism, and this special MiG-25 adopts a half-buried mounting method, which further reduces the friction and heat generation at high speed.

Ordinary missiles are mounted on the wings, but in later generations, stealth aircraft are mounted in the bomb bay in the aircraft, and the method of semi-buried pylons is rarely used.

To put it simply, the semi-buried pylon, that is, to dig a few pits in the belly of the aircraft, this pit is very particular, and it must be the size of the missile, so as to reduce the impact of turbulence and prevent resonance.

Therefore, it is dedicated, once it is designed, it can only mount one weapon, and if you change it, the shape does not match, and it will not work.

This kind of MiG-25 is specially designed to mount R-33 missiles, and R-33 missiles, almost only it can be mounted, which is equivalent to a special aircraft.

Now, with the two turbofan engines in the tail, starting the afterburner regardless of consumption, the fighter continues to increase speed, 2.6, 2.7, until Mach 2.8, finally, no longer accelerating.

This is already the maximum speed of such an aircraft.

The turbojet engine is naturally suitable for high-altitude and high-speed, but it costs fuel, the turbofan is fuel-efficient, and the performance of high-altitude and high-speed is worse.

If it was the original MiG-25, it would be more than enough to fly to Mach 3, but now the MiG-25 can only fly to 2.8.

"The lockdown has been completed." At this time, for Andrey, his task was not difficult, he just had to fly the plane smoothly and wait.

This is the advantage of the two-seater, those cumbersome and complicated operation radars, guiding missiles, will be handed over to the special radar officer in the rear cabin to do.

Colonel Fedotov looked at the screen in front of him, that huge bright spot, he couldn't run away, but now, the distance is still a little far, a hundred kilometers away.

The range of the missile, that is an imaginary number, and the specific changes in actual combat are quite large, especially now, this is a rear-end attack, which is more serious than a head-on attack.

For the sake of safety, it is best not to launch at a hundred kilometers, and then fly a little further.

"Meow, meow." At this moment, in their headphones, the sound of a radar warning receiver came, and it was actually locked by a tomcat?

"We're locked in." Colonel Fedotov said.

"Leave him alone." Andrei said: "Launch the missile!" ”

If you want to compare the permissions of the two people on the two-seater fighter, the radar officer is cooperating with the pilot, and now, being locked means being attacked, but Andrei is not afraid, he wants to complete his own attack before the other party attacks.

Are tomcats scary? But until now, there has been no record of a Tomcat shooting down a MiG-25, or rather, a shot down at 3 times the speed of sound. Andrei will not be afraid!

Even if there is, don't be afraid!

has already flown here, the enemy is in front of you, where is there a reason to retreat!

"Understood, launch now." At this time, Fedotov could not delay any longer, and at a distance of ninety, he launched his own missile.

Under the belly, the first R-33 missile, under the action of the ejection mechanism, easily ejected.

When the bullet is played, its warhead is downward, the projectile body is tilted, flying towards the front and bottom, the thick projectile body is exposed, and at the same time, the projectile body is still under the action of the projectile wings, and it begins to rotate.

A second later, the missile, which was five or six meters away from the carrier aircraft, suddenly erupted a rich tongue of fire from its tail, and it was successfully ignited!

The blazing tail flame surrounded the entire rear of the fuselage, and in the thick flames, the missile began to continue to accelerate.

In the white smoke, the second missile was ejected, and then ignited!

One after another, four huge R-33 missiles, all successfully ignited!

They were spaced a second apart, lunging forward.

At this time, they are still in free flight.

If it is an immortal bird missile, in order to achieve a high range, after taking off, it will quickly climb to an altitude of 24,000 meters, and the modified version will even climb to an altitude of 30,000 meters to reduce drag and reach a high range, while the R33 missile does not need to climb upwards, it just needs to fly forward.

The reason is very simple, people's carrier aircraft are awesome, and now the carrier aircraft has flown to an altitude of 28,000 meters, and at the same time the speed has reached Mach 2.8, so there is no need to climb at all.

No matter how hard you work the day after tomorrow, it's not as good as having a good background, it's like having a broken house at home, but it can be demolished.

Although it looks like an immortal bird, its flight process is different.

Although both use composite guidance, the initial and middle stages of the R-33 missile use inertial guidance and radio command guidance, and at the end, the on-board radar provides a continuous wave guidance signal to guide the missile to hit the target.

As for the Immortal Bird, the last section was actively guided, and even if the USSR obtained the Immortal Bird missile, it could not be copied, because it was impossible to process the flat slit radar antenna.

Now, in the early days, it relied on inertial guidance, and at such times, the carrier aircraft could maneuver.

Andrei is ready to push the lever, kick the rudder, turn to the vertical direction of the opponent's radar beam, get rid of the lock, and then come back to guide the R-33 again.

However, at this moment, the locked sound inside the headphones disappeared.

Cast a mist before somebody's eyes!

He didn't know that it wasn't the other party who was playing tricks, but the other party also attacked!

The AG-9 radar, the first to lock on is the MiG-25, and at the same time, in the lock, the Immortal Bird missile has already hit out.

Then, when four small targets were divided in the vicinity of the MiG-25, Lieutenant Gus immediately quickly shifted the target and locked on to those missiles!

It was difficult, the echoes of the missiles were relatively small, but, under the operation of Lieutenant Gus, the task was completed, and a powerful pulse beam was fired at those missiles!

"Aim for the first one." Nathan shouted.

They only have one immortal bird left, so they can only hit one target, the first one, of course! When attacking this target, countless fragments will be formed in the surrounding airspace, and those missiles, as long as they come across, will definitely be killed!

"Understood," these days, the cooperation between the two has been intimate, Gus has guessed Nathan's intentions, and the two are the best crew.
