Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Fuse Is Not Glorious
After shooting all six undead birds, Nathan's fighter plane was left with only four missiles, two Sparrows and two Rattlesnakes, and some fuel was consumed, so that the body was quite light and accelerated even faster.
It would be boring to return now, it would be better to tease the AWACS aircraft of the Soviets.
Soviets, in the future, go farther away from aircraft carriers!
The Tomcat's wings swept back, like a shuttle dart, and soon soared to a speed of Mach 2.3, like a swift flying eagle, swooping towards the target!
What are the Americans going to do? At this time, the personnel inside the AWACS aircraft were already panicking.
"Quick, return immediately, return immediately!"
There is a division of labor in the command of the AWACS aircraft, and during the take-off and landing phase, the captain is in charge of the overall responsibility and has the greatest authority, and when the normal cruise is completed, it is decided by the commander behind.
Now, having spotted an American plane coming over, the commander immediately gave the order to turn back!
This reconnaissance is too dangerous, is this American crazy?
You must know that you are still 300 kilometers away from the opponent's aircraft carrier formation, which is already a default safe distance, and it is absolutely public airspace.
However, at this time, it is obviously unreasonable, what if the guy on the opposite side does not play his cards according to the routine and shoots missiles when he comes up?
"Gus, PDSTT mode, lock it." Nathan said.
At this time, Guss in the rear cabin was still immersed in the action of locking on the target plane just now, and this time it achieved good results, four of the six hits, and the fourth and fifth unfortunately missed the target.
But fortunately, Nathan's arrangement was quite clever, and just as his fourth missile flew over, he happened to turn on electromagnetic interference, and in this way, he successfully disguised two misses.
In the eyes of the Soviets, they must have hit all six of them, and the two target planes that were not hit were all detonated by remote control, and the explosion scene was quite spectacular.
Now, Nathan is not satisfied, and he wants to let the Soviets know that his own fighter is quite perverted.
"Understood." "PDSTT mode. ”
When he adjusted the radar, he suddenly realized that he was originally a professional radar officer, but he didn't expect that Nathan was more skilled than himself and could choose the appropriate radar state according to the specific situation! Is he better than he can master?
When the adjustment passed, the specific information of the target appeared on the radar screen, and at this time, it was 200 kilometers away from the target.
Lock it up!
How far the radar can see is also related to the mode of the radar, in the AWG-9 radar, the most powerful is the PDS mode, pulse Doppler search.
This is the most common pulse method of Doppler radar, which is only used for searching, because it can only obtain target bearing information and no other parameters.
That is, it can only be used to see if there are targets in the airspace 65 degrees ahead, nothing more; Even if a target is found, it is impossible to launch an attack.
But correspondingly, this mode has the farthest detection range.
How far exactly? If the target is a large target such as the Tu-95 and Tu-160, the detection range is 315 kilometers, is it bullish or not? It's simply an AWACS!
In layman's terms, the PDS mode is mainly used to "light the way", and it is also a mode often used by Tomcats when fighting cruises.
If you want to track, you have to switch the mode, and if you want to launch an attack, you need more data about the target, which is the PDSTT mode: pulse Doppler single-target tracking.
The first two modes, as already mentioned, are both used to "light the way" and cannot attack; For AWG-9, the farthest away from the attack is PDSTT.
As the name suggests, it also works in pulsed Doppler mode, but the AWG-9 will change the scanning mode at this time.
When the radar operator selects one of the intercepted targets, it enters a continuous tracking, and at this time, all the radar waves are firing at the target.
If it used to be a flashlight, it illuminated the road ahead, but now, it is a condenser in front of the flashlight, and all the light is concentrated on a target.
To put it bluntly, keep an eye on the target and prepare to fire!
As the radar fully switched to tracking the target, all the parameters of the target were immediately intercepted and supplied to the fire control system to launch the missile.
That is, it is now possible to enter the engagement distance.
Generally speaking, when dealing with a fighter target, it is about 160 kilometers, and when dealing with a target the size of a bomber, it is definitely about 200 kilometers.
It can be said that the AWG-9 radar and the Immortal Bird missile are definitely a pair of good friends, and the two sides cooperate closely, and the performance is against the sky. Long-range sniping, no one can match.
With the switch to single-target tracking mode, the radar waves of a single pulse all flew towards the moss AWACS aircraft of the target.
As a special early warning aircraft, the electronic equipment is complete, with an omnidirectional radar warning receiver, at this time, with the irradiation of a single pulse radar wave, the radar warning receiver is immediately triggered.
"Meow, meow." The sound emitted by the radar warning receiver is different depending on the radar irradiated, and at this time, this sound is like a tomcat in heat, which makes people shudder.
"Damn, the Americans dare to lock on us, run!" The example of six missiles hitting six targets just now was in front of him, which made the commander extremely frightened, and he didn't even think about it, the immortal bird could only carry six of them, and although the other party locked on his own side two hundred kilometers away, he did not have the ability to attack.
They are already extremely afraid, the AWACS aircraft is modified according to the passenger plane, once attacked, there is no other choice but to make a forced landing, even if they finally make a forced landing on the sea, it will be more than lucky.
As for whether it will trigger a third world war, that is all for later, and they will not feel any glory as the fuse.
Run!
Four NK-12MV turboprop engines, which have been fully opened, burst out with 14,795 shaft horsepower, driving a coaxial reversal propeller with a diameter of 5.6 meters, constantly pushing the air backwards and accelerating forward.
In addition to driving the propellers, the engine is also jetted backwards to add extra thrust, and as the speed increases, the efficiency of the propellers begins to decrease, and at the end of the day, it almost always becomes a propeller state, relying on the tail jet to fly.
Its speed has also soared to 850 kilometers per hour, which is almost impossible for a propeller aircraft, but the Tu-126 can do it completely, and there is no ambiguity when escaping.
"And what about our MiG-25?" At this time, the voice inside the radar warning receiver was still remembering, and the commander shouted in despair.
At this time, only the MiG-25 can be relied on to save the car.
"The MiG-25 is preparing for refueling in the air."
"Call them, we can't stand it!"
