Chapter 19: Prepare a Sparrow

"Di, Di......" Inside the headphones, there was a sharp alarm sound.

In later generations, the radar alarm receiver can carry out sound reminders, there will be a woman's nervous voice, and the reminder is locked, but the current electronic equipment is still very backward, and this alarm sound is enough to remind everyone.

"We're locked, that American fighter jet is locking us down!" The Kabasf was about to exclaim: "No, we have to turn, or we will be shot down!" ”

The performance of the current missile is not very stable, and when fighting with fighters, the missile is easy to miss the target, but for the slow bomber, the missile is a big killer, and it is too difficult for the bomber to dodge the missile.

Nathan flew a Boeing 707 to dodge missiles that day, also because it was a Soviet missile, and the technology was backward, and if it was a Sparrow missile, he would not be able to dodge it at all.

"Panic what, let's keep flying." Victor is not afraid.

In the air confrontation, it is already a customary habit to lock the opponent with radar, once you lock it with radar, you are telling the other party, I can kill you, you go quickly!

Americans do this a lot, and Lao Maozi prefers to use impacts.

Now, locked by the radar, Habasf is already panicking, but Victor doesn't care, lock on, you fire!

It's just to scare people, in the world, there is very little news of shooting down a passenger plane, and this is a great danger, and now, you can be a passenger plane!

If the opponent locks on, the side will quickly turn, doesn't it just expose the fact that the side is a bomber?

Airliners do not have radar warning receivers.

Keep flying!

As the captain, Victor has absolute authority, and he orders to move on, so you have to keep going!

The "airliner" in front of it, facing the radar lock, did not react at all, and now it was Nathan's turn to wonder. Is it really an ordinary airliner? Otherwise, in the face of radar locking, can you remain indifferent?

"Nathan, is it really a passenger plane?" Steve in the back couldn't help but ask, he was really confused.

"Airliners? Have you ever seen an airliner with a tail turret? "I saw the tail of the plane, and there was a guy who just looked at me," Nathan said. ”

In World War II, bombers played a great role, and at the same time, they were also vulnerable to attack, so bombers armed themselves as hedgehogs, with machine guns, backs, tails, and even bellies in all directions.

After World War II, missiles played an increasing role, but bombers like the Tu-95 in the 50s still had a certain number of self-defense cannons, for example, it had a twin 23mm turret at the tail, although it was controlled by radar, but the tail was still the cabin of the organic gunner, and when it took off, the gunner stayed alone in the pressurized cabin at the tail until landing.

Although the bomber looked huge, in the air, the speed of both sides was very fast, and in the case of a turn, it was not clear at all, and now, the F-4 slowly caught up in the tail, and Nathan finally saw clearly.

Behind that, there is also a gunner, how can this be a civil airliner?

"Since the radar lock can't shake it, let's just give it a try." Nathan said, "Steve, prepare a sparrow." ”

Ready for a sparrow? Hearing Nathan's words, Steve suddenly paused: "Nathan, we are training now, not actual combat, although there are sparrows hanging on our plane, we can't launch them casually, one is hundreds of thousands of dollars!" ”

According to the current currency value, a sparrow missile is still hundreds of thousands, on the battlefield, air combat is to burn money, many times four sparrows are launched together, but that is actual combat, now it is training, they do not have a live ammunition target project.

Steve knows Nathan, and Nathan is most afraid of mentioning money, and now as long as he says that these missiles are expensive, in general, Nathan will not do it.

However, this time is different.

"We're intercepting Soviet bombers right now, and it's a real fight." Nathan said: "What if this bomber has a nuclear warhead in it? We're saving the whole country, we have every reason to fire, don't worry, anyway, it's the air force's account, we're the navy, it's a big deal if we get off the plane and slip away, they will send the bill to our boss at most. ”

What are you afraid of, the consumption of the Air Force's missiles, maybe the head will be happy, and besides, it is an emergency now.

"Okay." Steve agreed: "Prepare a sparrow." ”

Activate the seeker, the data is provided by the on-board computer, and in a few seconds, the missile is ready.

β€œfire!” As Nathan shouted, his fingers moved to the launch button.

Under the wings, the flames were gathering, and a sparrow missile dragged the tongue of fire and flew out towards the front, and the white smoke behind enveloped half of the wing.

The scene of the missile launch is also very spectacular, and at this time, it is almost a foolproof situation of hitting a target with live ammunition, the target is directly in front of you, and it is simply too easy to fly smoothly.

When the missile flies out, it almost means that it will hit.

And at this time, just behind this Tu-95, the tail gunner's eyes were full of fear, his pupils were dilated, and his words were almost unclear: "Missiles, they launched missiles!" ”

The minimum range of the Sparrow missile is only 1,500 meters, and in the clear sky, it is no problem to see dozens of kilometers, and the gunner looked at the fighter that followed behind, and his heart was already uneasy, and now, seeing the other side launch the missile at a position of about a few kilometers, made his heart even more full of fear.

Missile!

The Sparrow missile dragged its tongue of fire towards the Tu-95, and watching it come and kill itself was the most terrifying thing to be.

At the same time, on the radar screen on the ground, there was suddenly a small bright spot.

"Oh, the Eagle fired a missile!" The radar soldier is also incredible: "The Eagle fired a missile at the airliner!" ”

"Eagle, eaglet, who allowed you to fire?" General Richard grabbed the microphone and shouted roaring inside.

In fact, the US Air Force has a relatively free management method for pilots, and pilots have a lot of autonomy, but this definitely does not include firing at passenger planes, and without the permission of the ground, they actually fire at passenger planes, which can go to court-martial!

In particular, it was a Soviet airliner, in case it caused a military conflict, or even a world war... Thinking of this, General Richard shuddered, who came up with this damn exchange life plan, let these naval aviation come to the Air Force to harm people!

There is no echo in the air, and the missiles are still heading towards the "airliner"!
