Chapter 169: Blindness in the Light (49/100)
The two planes gradually approached, and this process was a bit long.
Although they are all at Mach 3 speeds, they are flying in the same direction, and the planes below are walking an upward throwing curve, and the relative speed of the two sides will become smaller and smaller.
During this time, Graham had been watching the enemy.
Repeatedly adjusting his lens, the target in the field of vision is also constantly magnifying and magnifying, first of all, he found something special at the root of the opponent's wing.
Two cannon barrels, sticking outward, sure enough, it was the cannon that was hung later!
The MiG-25 that Belenko defected from did not have a cannon, and according to Belenko, the MiG-25, a high-altitude interceptor, uses missiles as its main weapon.
Therefore, Nathan's suggestion that the MiG-25 will switch to a cannon after the missile fails to work makes Olmsted disagree is also for this reason.
And now, he has seen it clearly, it is the machine gun!
"Click, click." Graham manually pressed the linked shutter to take two shots, then zoomed in on the camera.
Due to the reflection of the cockpit canopy, he could not clearly see the pilot in the cockpit, but he still saw the helmet that the other party was wearing.
Well, it's true that there are no black goggles, and in this case, if you wear them, you can wear sunglasses in the dark, unless you are blind.
Everything is ready, now, just wait for that last moment.
At first, it is easy to see the blackbird overhead at a distance, but as the distance gets closer, it is not easy.
Andrei was in a calm mood at this time, and at such a time, he could still maintain a pulse of only about 70, which was enough for the standard of an astronaut.
"The target speed is Mach 3, there is no acceleration, it flies according to the original course, continues to climb, and is expected to encounter it in two minutes." The CGI sound coming from inside the headphones made Andre feel a little surprised.
The MiG-25 uses a turbojet engine, and the maximum speed is Mach 3, and if you don't want to die, it can soar out Mach 3.2, which is definitely the rhythm of a scrapped engine.
However, when the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft was Mach 3, it still retained a certain margin, after all, its engine had begun to enter a similar ram mode, and if necessary, it could even fly at Mach 3.5.
Now, the other party actually doesn't accelerate?
Andrei was a little strange, but now, he didn't have time to think about anything more.
It's almost exactly the same as the last interception,
Andrey's fighter is still 500 meters away from the opponent's altitude, and it needs to continue to climb in altitude, and the routes of the two sides will converge at the first 60 kilometers, where Andrey's fighter will also have a shooting opportunity!
"032 Roger." Andrei shouted over the radio, pulling the lever back between his legs as he began to adjust the sights in front of him one last time.
After the last use, he had a more accurate estimate of the amount of advance, last time he just shot in front of the opponent's route, and then the Blackbird reconnaissance plane collided, and this time, he could directly shoot the bullet into the opponent's fuselage!
Yankees, let you know how powerful the Soviets are!
Andrei was fully prepared, his huge steel fighter plane was climbing in surprise, he tried to raise his head and look at the top of himself, as long as the calculation was correct, then, above his head, the blackbird should be about to appear!
One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds, five seconds, and sure enough, above my head, that huge target suddenly appeared!
The most suitable time for interception has been reached, and the time left for Andrei is measured in seconds.
At this moment, Andre held his breath, his eyes were fixed on the target, his hand easily pushed the lever forward, and then, intending to press the red button on the lever.
Now, Andrei has reached the point of integration between man and machine, to put it simply, how he wants to fly, how his hands will control, how the plane will move, during this time, his brain does not even need to react, it is completely instinctive action, as if the simplest nerve reflex.
However, Andrei didn't know that the other party was ready to him.
Andrei's field of vision is small, and the closer he flies, the smaller his field of view becomes, since he can only see the front hemisphere.
However, Graham is different, relying on the panoramic observation equipment, Graham has been keeping an eye on Andre's movements.
As the distance between the two sides approached, he constantly adjusted his observation device, the sunlight no longer reflected, and he could clearly see the inside of the other party's cockpit and see the pilot's operation.
It's like cheating!
So, Graham wasn't in a hurry.
The distance between the two sides was gradually getting closer, and they were getting closer, until they were five hundred meters away, when suddenly, the other party moved the operating stick to adjust the position of the nose, and almost at the same time, Graham pressed the red button on his side fiercely.
Fuck you!
With the push of the button, the circuit is turned on, and in an instant, through the high-performance storage power device, the powerful current inside passes through the thick wire and enters the matrix headlight below.
In a matter of milliseconds, the halogen bulb is lit up, and the strong light emitted by the tungsten filament shines through the glass lens in front of it!
Each light bulb emits tens of thousands of lumens of light, which is the most receptive to the human eye at 555 nanometers!
Society is advancing, technology is developing, the oldest incandescent lamp, belongs to the first generation of lights, and this halogen lamp, already belongs to the second generation, under the same power, the light is stronger.
It can be said that each of these 500-watt headlights is equivalent to a searchlight in the past!
And now, there are 16 such searchlights, and with different angles, these strong lights suddenly fill the space in the lower hemisphere of the blackbird.
In the dark space, a small sun suddenly appeared, although there were 16 of them, but when the human eye saw them, these 16 almost became one.
Because he can't tell anymore.
For Andrei, it was a matter of moments.
Raising the nose of the plane and preparing to fire, Andrei's eyes looked through the transparent goggles in front of him, and all he saw in his eyes was blue, which was the color of the blackbird's high-speed flight.
His hand was on the button, but at this moment, suddenly, there was a light in front of him, a yellow-green light, filling his eyes, one by one, through his open pupils, accurately smashed on the retina behind him, the number of these photons, too many to count. Then, his world suddenly became dark.
