Chapter 209: Cannon Hotline (89/100)
What to do if you get into the inescapable zone of the missile?
Although compared to the overload capacity, the fighter can never compare to the missile, but it is still possible to dodge, among them, luck is the most important, yes, luck, what if after the missile flies over, there is a mechanical failure?
In addition to luck, it is to use external heat sources, such as flying against the sun, flying at the fire on the ground, and so on.
Flying head-on is the most courageous act, but it is also the most dangerous, such as now.
Suddenly pulled up when they were about to meet, if it was the kind of fighter similar to F22 in later generations, with a super-first-class air combat thrust-to-weight ratio, then it could also be a try, but for the Su-15, it was too reluctant to do so.
In particular, the current Sidewinder missile, which is the latest model in service, has an advanced proximity fuse, and its explosion is just right.
At this time, the Su-15 has already been pulled up, and there will be no inhalation of foreign objects in the front air intake, but the engine in the back is inevitably exposed to the metal rain formed by these terrible titanium rods!
Different weapons, the warhead is different, and the warhead of the armor-piercing projectile is a piece of hard metal, at the level of a naval gun, which will stuff explosives in the middle and explode after penetrating it, otherwise it is useless to open only a hole. And all filled with explosives, that is, grenades, use the terrible shock wave and shrapnel formed by the explosion to hurt people, and the air pressure formed is enough to shoot people to death.
And missiles for air combat, none of these are suitable, it cannot rely on the shock wave of the explosion, nor on solid shells, but on fragments.
As long as there is a large area of debris scattered, it can be used for the best damage, and there is no need for other elements such as speed.
Because the plane is already fast, it is quite dangerous for the plane to hit a bird, if it hits a waste screw in the airspace in front, it can definitely hit from the front to the back, and the blades of the engine are all broken.
The fragmentation warhead of an air-to-air missile, is just that.
It is a group of metal rods connected together to form a metal ring in the form of end to end, which is usually compressed together, and the shock wave generated by the explosives during the explosion is instantaneous, and the metal ring is instantly stretched to the maximum. This type of warhead is very powerful when it explodes, much more effective than the previous fragmentation warheads, and the mechanical force generated when the metal ring is opened can even cut off the waist of a neighboring enemy aircraft.
And now, the flying titanium rods are heading towards the tail of the Su-15 fighter.
The P-13ะค-300 turbojet engine was turning on the afterburner at this time, pushing the fighter to climb up with maximum power, and then, a fluttering titanium rod penetrated the aluminum alloy skin on the outside and smashed into the receiver, and then, a fuel pipe was pierced.
The dark red fuel bubbled outward, and when it came into contact with the shell of the engine, a burst of flames erupted.
The engine is on fire!
The fire raged and enveloped the entire rear fuselage.
If Osipovich was piloting a fighter with a canard layout, he might have been able to escape, because the canard layout is positive lift, and as long as the rod is pulled, the fighter raises its head and climbs directly.
And the aircraft with an ordinary layout, the elevator is in the back, and when the lever is pulled, the fighter does not rise directly, but the butt falls first, and when the butt sinks, the nose naturally rises.
It was because of this delay in the sinking of the ass that the opponent's warhead swept to its buttocks, and now, it is blazing.
Seeing the fire alarm in the cockpit, Osipovich's face turned pale, and he had no choice but to pull his ejection handle.
"Bang!" As the cap gun broke the cockpit canopy, his seat ignited, pushing him away from the fighter, the ejection seat of this era, the success rate is quite low, he can successfully eject it, it is already extremely lucky, in the huge overload, his eyes are staring at the airspace in front of him, the Tomcat fighter, is firing at his wingman, he actually uses a cannon!
In this kind of airspace, the Tomcat fighter is the king, as long as you don't worry about the engine, even if the F-15 comes over, it will definitely be killed! Only the F-22 with vector propulsion can have an advantage.
The generation gap is quite terrifying, and a fighter without vector propulsion ability, and a fighter with vector propulsion, will only be beaten.
Now, Nathan just caught the other side off guard.
When Osipovich's fighter plane was hit, his wingman was dumbfounded, and a fluttering missile flew in and set Osipovich's ass on fire.
And at the same time, as a wingman, when he climbed Osipovich, he also climbed, and just like that, he just exposed his belly, not realizing the hurricaneous Tomcat that was killing the missile in the second place!
Nathan's eyes, through the cockpit bulkhead, were firmly fixed on the cannon hotline in front of him.
Compared to Osipovich's slow aiming process, Nathan's cannon aiming is much simpler, just staring at the green windshield in front of him, this is the advantage of advanced technology!
The performance of the cannon itself has not developed much, but there is a lot of room for improvement in the aiming of the cannon, which is the comprehensive application of radar, head-up display, and electronic computer, which has made a revolutionary breakthrough in its aiming method.
Ten years ago, American pilots were still using active halo sights, but they couldn't bear it anymore, and at the suggestion of front-line personnel, sights of new technology began to be developed.
To put it simply, leave everything to the computer, the so-called shooting, isn't it accurate calculation?
We already have an electronic computer, the fighter in various states, including: altitude, speed, angle of attack, side slip angle, pitch, slope, warhead muzzle velocity, ballistic coefficient and other conditions, these factors are taken into account, the computer is used to calculate the impact point of each shell fired relative to the position of the machine, at this time, the cannon has not fired, but after the cannon is shot, where it hits, it is determined.
These impact points are connected into a dynamic curve that is displayed on the heads-up display, which is the hotline of the cannon.
The starting point of the hot line is a cross, which represents the muzzle, while the farthest point corresponds to the maximum range in the design of the sight.
The biggest feature of this method is to aim quickly, like now!
Nathan operates his own fighter, and as the fighter plane constantly changes its position, the hotline is also moving, and at the same time, the target has clearly appeared in front of his own heads-up.
That Su-15, with its belly unfolded, is about to coincide with the point on its own hotline!
Fire!
