This mode is almost ineffective if it is not cheating, when the radar antenna scans the predetermined airspace by moving only at a small angle, which increases the data refresh rate and greatly reduces the amount of data processed by the on-board computer.

At this time, Gus's heart was beating rapidly, his pulse was as high as one hundred and ten beats per minute, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the screen in front of him, and then, six targets, appeared in the center of the screen.

Lock on to your target and get ready to attack!

Gus operated quickly, and at this time, the computer was faster than him, and the fire control was solved.

The 8086 computer chip from Intel Corporation, although it is quite primitive and backward, but in this era, it is an anti-heaven level existence, it worked at full strength at this time, and it took two seconds to finally complete the calculation.

Looking at the red circles on the screen lit up one by one, Gus shouted loudly: "The fire control system is ready to be launched!" ”

At this time, the distance between the target and the target aircraft had been reduced to 130 kilometers.

"Fire!" This was Nathan's most exciting moment.

As Nathan pressed the operation button, the Tomcat fighter's flat belly, a half-ton Immortal Bird missile, ignited.

The shape of the immortal bird looks a little stout, cylindrical, with a sharp cone in the front, and four large shrapnel in the back, at this time, in its tail, a blazing fire light came out, and white smoke rose, enveloping the entire fighter in an instant, dragging a thick puff of white smoke, and the huge immortal bird missile, facing the sea breeze, broke out, like a sharp sword out of the sheath.

The first missile was mounted in front of the belly, and five seconds after the first missile flew out, the second missile also flew out with the ignition, followed by the pylons on the wing box, the third missile on the left, the fourth missile on the right, and finally, two missiles behind the belly.

In thirty seconds, six huge immortal bird missiles were all launched! The body of the Tomcat fighter was suddenly light, its wings swept back, the nose of the aircraft stared steadily ahead, and the electromagnetic waves in the radome were still working at peak power.

The six missiles in the air, dragging billowing white smoke, drew six trajectories in the air, which looked extremely spectacular.

On the screen of the radar, there are just six bright spots.

On the moss AWACS aircraft, several Soviet officers were also nervously staring at the screen.

The E-2C is a carrier-based AWACS aircraft, because it has to enter the hangar of the aircraft carrier and catapult to take off, it is doomed that its volume cannot be too large, and a large amount of equipment is piled up in the small space, leaving only room for three people to operate.

In contrast, the Moss AWACS aircraft is much larger, as a land AWACS aircraft, it directly uses the Tu-114 passenger aircraft as a platform, and the internal space is sufficient, but the backward electronic technology of the Soviet Union makes its detection performance at the same level as the E-2C.

Now, the radar officer on the AWACS plane, looking at the target on the screen, immediately exclaimed: "God, they actually launched missiles at a distance of more than 100 kilometers!" ”

At this time, he was shocked, this is definitely beyond his imagination, and it is beyond everyone's imagination, is this missile the same as the Americans claim, with a terrible range?

For example, the power range of a missile, the rocket engine will burn out in tens of seconds, and after that, it is an unpowered inertial flight, the speed is getting slower and slower, and how much does it slow down, which is considered to be the completion of the flight process of the missile?

This is still secondary, the main thing is the difference between head and tail chasing.

If you attack head-on, if the opponent is fast, then you can launch at a greater distance, even more than the missile's own flight distance, because the target will also fly over, and the faster the target, the longer the range.

However, the tail chase is different, when the tail chase, the two sides are flying in the same direction, when the speed is not enough, the farther and farther the pursuit, if the head can be 50 kilometers, the tail chase may not even be 10 kilometers.

And the immortal bird, this missile is the existence of the sky in this era, and it is recorded in many sources that its range is as high as 203 kilometers.

And this maximum range, of course, is of a performative nature.

In order to cooperate with the performance of the Immortal Bird missile, the setting of target parameters is naturally idealistic, and the target aircraft is in a positive and head-on approach with the F-14, that is, with the Immortal Bird, so that on the one hand, the "Immortal Bird" can easily fly along the optimized high-throw trajectory and fly its best results, and on the other hand, the target aircraft itself is also "pounced on the Grim Reaper" and flies over the 200-kilometer distance together with the "Immortal Bird."

The key to this, of course, is the target aircraft.

If the target aircraft is replaced by a Blackbird, then it is not necessary to say that the range of 200 kilometers and 300 kilometers can be reached, but there is no real combat significance, as long as the target is slightly maneuvered and flying, the missile will not be able to reach.

And now, the Tomcat fighter launches the Immortal Bird missile from a hundred kilometers away, of course, there is an element of showing off, be careful, I can snipe you at a hundred kilometers away!

Moreover, it is even more shocking that six missiles are flying together.

Even if it is cheating, the United States has the capital, and in the equipment of the Soviet Aerospace Forces, there are almost none of them with a maximum range of more than 40 km!

At this time, the Soviets were shocked, the Americans' Tomcat fighters, accompanied by the movie Top Gun, became popular all over the world, and the Soviet Union couldn't wait to know the detailed parameters of this aircraft, especially the missiles on it.

The Immortal Bird missile is flying at high speed, and in order to fly more than 100 kilometers, it is different from ordinary missiles.

After the ordinary missile flew out, it flew directly towards the target, but the immortal bird missile climbed into the air first.

If you want the missile to fly farther, it is necessary to make it have less resistance, in addition to the shape of the missile greatly reducing the resistance, but also by using the optimized high-throw trajectory to fly, first jump into the high air, and use the characteristics of thin air at high altitude to make the missile fly more smoothly.

The six missiles are flying smoothly in the sky, at this time, they are all in the initial inertial flight stage, and the most important thing is still the AWG-9 radar in the back, which has to accurately capture the target, calculate various data, and provide various information to the missile.

This is not difficult, because those flying target planes are all equipped with signal amplifiers, and when it receives the radar signal of the AWG-9, it will magnify it and go back to make its target more obvious, otherwise, how can a small target aircraft be stronger than the signal of a bomber, so that the AWG-9 can be found more than a hundred kilometers away?
