Chapter 214: Turn Off the Engine (94/100)
It is different to deal with radar bombs and infrared bombs, radar bombs are mainly sideways, get rid of locks, plus decoy bombs or something, the higher the maneuverability, the better, and the afterburner must be turned on.
And the infrared bomb, the afterburner is looking for death, because the infrared bomb is staring at the target's chrysanthemum, once the afterburner is turned on, the infrared signature is more obvious, and it is easier to be bitten by death.
However, circling consumes energy, and when it comes back after half a circle, the speed of Ostrov's fighter plane drops a lot, and the speed is low, so it is not easy to maneuver and dodge.
So, Ostrov had to turn on the afterburner, and with the roar of the engine in the tail, his fighter began to pick up speed, he flew towards the sun for two or three seconds, and then, suddenly, turned off his engine.
Not bad, Ostrov didn't just turn off the afterburner, but turned off his own engine!
He did it quite firmly, it is said that the missiles of the Americans, the seeker are quite good, what if they did not chase the sun, but their own fighters?
You can't risk it, even if you turn off the afterburner, the heat of the tail vent is much higher than the sun, at least in the eyes of the missile.
So, Ostrov simply turned off the engine.
The roar of the tail disappeared instantly, Ostrov pushed the lever, and his own fighter began to dive down.
In this Sidewinder missile, in the seeker, the clear heat source suddenly disappeared, and there was only a huge heat source left in front of it, so it did not hesitate to re-lock the target and fly towards the sun.
"This pilot is a veteran." Nathan said, "Gotta kill him!" Be fast! ”
Just when the other party turned off the engine, he must be a veteran, if he doesn't eliminate him, then he will definitely catch up with him, and when the time comes, he will definitely not be able to get rid of it, after all, he is not driving an F-22.
Ordinary fighters must turn on the afterburner to enter supersonic cruise, but the F-22 relies on the perverted engine and does not need to turn on the afterburner at all to enter the supersonic state, so as long as the F-22 flies away at supersonic speed, it means that it will not play and the confrontation will end.
The current Tomcat fighter, if it is replaced with a new generation of F110 fighters, using its own variable sweep wing, can also cruise at supersonic speed, but now it is not possible.
So, Nathan still has to fight, and besides, he has to be fast!
The other side turned off the engine and let the Sidewinder missile chase the sun, and the reliability is 100 percent, but at the same time, it also means that the other side has lost power.
And yourself, full of power, can completely catch up and solve it with a cannon!
So, Nathan shifted his weapon to the cannon position again, pushing the lever towards the opponent's cutting radius.
It is very dangerous for the engine to stall in the air, especially for a single-engine fighter, if the engine stalls in the air, there is a high probability that it will crash, but Ostrov is not afraid.
He is familiar with his own aircraft.
R-35-300 turbojet engine, weighing about 1,800 kg; The maximum thrust is about 8,550 kg, the afterburner thrust is about 13,000 kg, and the thrust-to-weight ratio is 7.2.
At the same time, this engine also has a feature, that is, it can start itself under certain conditions!
On the ground, the jet engine is driven by the ground power supply vehicle, so that the engine can be started only when it rotates, while in the air, there is no strong power supply, and the aircraft's own emergency power supply is not enough to start the engine.
However, in the air, the plane is moving, and as long as the plane is still flying, there will be air flow blowing into the air intake, entering the engine, and it will blow the engine up.
As long as the altitude and speed meet certain conditions, the engine can be successfully restarted.
Now, after turning off the engine in the air, Ostrov pushes the lever and the fighter goes into a dive.
On the one hand, from the climb to the dive, the missile that can be chased by the tail can not find itself, which belongs to a big maneuver to get rid of, and on the other hand, when the dive, the speed of the fighter will still increase, as long as the speed reaches a certain value, the engine can be successfully started!
Of course, in order to avoid entering a terrible tailspin state, Ostrov's fighter plane did not dive vertically, it was about a sixty-degree angle, and the speed of the fighter began to get faster and faster.
At the same time, as the power disappears, the oil pressure of the hydraulic operating system will also get lower and lower, and every time he moves the lever, it will consume precious pressure, he can't adjust it too much, as long as he waits for a few seconds, the roar of the engine comes from the tail, and he can pull it up again.
However, an unpowered dive is no longer as good as a powered tomcat.
Nathan's fighter plane, with blazing gas in the tail, and two TF41 engines roared, pushing the fighter to accelerate, accelerate, and in a few seconds, it caught up.
"Tom, tom!" Pressing the electric door, the M61 cannon let out a deathly roar and rained down on the MiG-23.
The opponent almost flew in a straight line and at a steep slope, and he didn't turn much, so Nathan's attack was almost nine out of ten.
However, at the critical moment, the other party actually turned.
Yes, Ostrov this time, as if he had a sixth sense, at the moment when the cannon fired, he ajeptically avoided it, and operated the fighter to glide to the left, and those flying shells fell on his right.
Damn it!
Nathan didn't dare to press the electric door, otherwise the shells would run out quickly, and he could only shoot briefly, and even then, the cannonballs could only allow him to shoot five or six times.
He adjusted the nose and fired again.
This time, the MiG-23 turned again!
"Their wingman is coming!" Gus, who was in the back seat, had been observing the airspace, and he saw that in the sky on both sides, two fighters were swooping down from these two directions, and they must be providing early warning to this plane, so that he could avoid it in time!
The altimeter in front of the cockpit was turning rapidly, getting lower and lower.
The MiG-23, swinging from side to side, avoided two attacks, but the lever was already extremely heavy, so heavy that it was difficult to push with your hands.
The pressure is almost exhausted.
Start ah, why don't you start it yet? Ostrov was also in a hurry.
"Pull up, pull up!" 088's voice came from the headphones.
The sea is just around the corner! The battle just now has been fought from a height of 3,000 meters to the sea!
Ostrov wanted to pull it up, but his lever was too heavy, and with all his strength with both hands, the lever moved back a little bit, too late, too late!
