Fight in the airspace you're good at! This is the most basic common sense, relying on the variable sweep wing, except for the high-speed racing can not defeat the opponent, other aspects of performance, are all in all aspects.

It can be said that when the Su-15 interceptor intends to dive down to intercept the ultra-low-flying Nathan, the end is already doomed.

Osipovich was in a hurry, and after diving down, he began to prepare to launch his own missile, but before that, he had to make a turn.

Yes, although it is now in a state of head-on interception, however, now the other party is flying at an ultra-low altitude, he cannot use a radar-guided R-98 missile, although he also has an infrared-guided R-98, which can be intercepted head-on, however, the maneuverability of this missile is very poor, it is designed to intercept targets such as bombers, if it is fired at this ultra-low-altitude Tomcat, it will definitely be dodged by the other party.

Only the highly maneuverable R-60 missile can guarantee sufficient lethality, however, the R-60 of this era can only tail chase the attack.

As the third-generation air-to-air missile designed by the Pennant Design Bureau, the R-60 is the first real combat missile, its aerodynamic layout is special, the infrared seeker is equipped with 4 rectangular fixed stabilizing wings behind the radar, and the trapezoidal tail together to ensure the flight stability of the missile, and the front section of the missile body is also equipped with 4 triangular wings to control the flight direction of the missile.

This is similar to the movable canard wings of a fighter, which directly obtains positive lift, giving the missile an excellent overload capacity, which is enough to keep up with the aircraft that intends to evade the missile by maneuvering with a large overload.

However, its seeker performance is still limited, only has the ability to tail chase attack, and the target is the fighter's largest heat source, the tail nozzle, which is also the most common way of infrared bombs in this era.

Only later, the modified R-60M missile was fitted with a "Komar-M" (OGS-75) search probe. Due to the use of the infrared search probe system, the search radius was increased by 17 °, which allowed the missile to hit the front hemisphere of the target.

Now, he has to rub shoulders with the opponent and then turn in the airspace and go around the opponent's back hemisphere to attack the opponent.

This is also the tactic that Osipovich intends to adopt, at this time, the target aircraft must be in a hurry to return home, and will definitely not entangle with himself, that is his own opportunity.

Unfortunately, he was wrong.

The distance between the two sides was rapidly approaching, and Nathan watched as the target got closer and closer, and then, he turned on the afterburner, and in the blazing tailfire, the fighter began to climb!

The opponent dived, Nathan climbed, and just like that, the two sides really entered the state of head-on-head, and in the overload, Nathan toggled the switches one by one.

On the launch frame of the wing box, the seeker of the Sidewinder missile began to rotate, and through the initial orientation provided to it by the airborne radar, it was opening its eyes wide, looking hard, watching, watching, 35MPa pressure nitrogen cylinder, continuously delivering cold air in, cooling the seeker, so that it could more clearly distinguish the difference in temperature.

Finally, in the background of the sky, the clear hot target was seen!

"Tick...", a locking sound came from the headphones.

Nathan pressed the button on the lever, and in an instant, the fire burned under the wing box.

Shoot!

This Sidewinder missile, launched from the pylon, flew forward.

The R-60 doesn't have a head-on attack, but the Rattlesnake can!

It is inappropriate to simply mention the Sidewinder missile, because there are many models of this missile, and even some models are not much related to each other, but they are still called Sidewinder missiles.

Nathan's fighter is equipped with the latest Sidewinder missile.

AIM-9L, the third generation of missiles in the Sidewinder family, equipped in 1978, is an improvement on the basis of 9J. It has a true omnidirectional attack capability, which improves the power and speed of the warhead, and has strong maneuverability.

It can be said that the performance of this missile is excellent, and in later generations, it will be used for another twenty or thirty years, and it will still not be outdated.

Compared with the smoke of the Soviet Union's missile launch, the AIM-9L missile uses a smokeless engine, and the smoke trajectory cannot be seen.

When he saw the Tomcat climb up, Osipovich knew that something was wrong, but he couldn't dodge, and at this time, he had to fight bravely!

He swooped down to intercept this enemy plane and leave the other party in his own territory, and now, the other party actually flew up to meet it, which was also his own heart!

The R-60 still couldn't be locked, and his hand quickly flicked the switch and shifted to the cannon!

The Su-15 interceptor is also a machine gun, and when intercepting the target, using the machine gun to expel it is a way, but unfortunately because there is no tracer bullet, it eventually caused the tragedy of the last time.

Osipovich has no regrets, that was his task.

Now, he was still completing his mission, fulfilling his mission, and as he activated the cannon system, he began to enter into methodical preparations.

Yes, in the tens of seconds that the two sides are about to make contact, he still has a lot to do.

If you just want to expel the opponent's planes, you can just fire shells, but if you want to hit the target, you have to do a lot of work.

Shooting in the sky is not so easy, and it is somewhat similar to the previous tank crews.

Osipovich adjusts his knob, the wingspan knob, and selects the wingspan scale, so that he can use the enemy's wingspan as a benchmark for ranging (if the opponent changes the wingspan, it will be confusing, but that's exactly what happened with the Tomcat). ）

This is only the first step of the long march, and then, he has to pull the ring selector lever to the active halo position, and press the ring stabilization button to make the ring follow the motion state of the machine; The next step is to turn the ranging handle and enlarge the aura; Estimate the elevation angle and advance angle, place the halo above the front of the target, release the ring stabilization button, and reduce the aura, so that the aura moves backwards and downwards, and the center point of light slowly falls on the target.

This series of steps is far from over, but now, Osipovich has just done this, and he can't do it anymore.

"467, 467, pay attention, the other side has launched a missile!" The sound of ground guidance came from the headphones.

Although it is difficult for the eyes to see the missile, the missile is still invisible in front of the radar.

Osipovich only cared about his own series of actions, firing the cannon was very cumbersome, he had to concentrate all his strength, and the opponent's missiles were launched without smoke, so it was difficult to notice.

When he heard this, Osipovich immediately ended his artillery work, he must not be able to fire, as long as he did not do it at all, it would be impossible to hit at all.

He looked up ahead, and sure enough, a missile was flying towards him, which could be caught with the naked eye, all because of Osipovich's luck.
