Chapter 20 chaff interference
"Are Americans crazy?" When he heard the tail gunner's call, Victor finally became angry.
He can ignore the alarm of the radar warning receiver, but he must not ignore the flying missile, since there is a radar warning receiver, it must be a radar-guided missile.
"Attention, release the chaff interference. Tail gunner, count me down, the count is accurate! ”
Many missiles hit the target, but the target did not react, and they did not know that they were being targeted, and once they were discovered, there was still great hope for dodging the missiles of this era, even if it was a bomber dodging the missile.
Airliners can dodge, let alone bombers?
Counting down, of course, is counting the time when the other party has flown in, the tail gunner's heart trembled, barely suppressed his emotions, and began to count down.
"Ten, nine, eight..."
"Ten seconds to go." Here, Steve is also calculating.
The time of the missile's flight is related to many factors, the engine at the tail of the missile will burn out in a few seconds, and then the missile will fly by inertia, and the speed will become slower and slower.
These ten seconds are testing everyone.
Are you really going to kill it? If it is a passenger plane, then it will be hit by mistake, if it is a bomber, then the more terrible consequences are still waiting for them, maybe this is the fuse of World War III!
Steve was under a lot of mental pressure, but Nathan didn't have much of it.
Afraid of what.
Nathan didn't plan to really attack the other party at all, there are too many restrictions on the launch of missiles in this era, for example, now, his plane can't have any maneuvering action, as long as the direction of the nose is slightly changed, the radar can't catch the target.
Even at the last moment, as long as he presses the operating stick, the missile will pass by the opponent's plane, scaring the Soviets fiercely, and there is a kind of you don't move!
At this time, Steve had counted down to three, and at this moment, on the radar screen, a snowflake.
"Release chaff interference." When the tail gunner counted down to five, Victor shouted loudly.
On both sides of the tail, there was a thumping sound, and with the sound, one after another chaff jamming bombs were launched, forming a spectacular white light on both sides of the fuselage.
The chaff came out in the form of a shell, it was originally a large piece of chaff, and when it came out, it immediately broke and turned into a large number of wires, which covered the airspace where the bomber was located in about two seconds.
This scene, just like the scene of the goddess scattering flowers, is magnificent.
The principle of radar detection is to emit radio waves, and then the radio waves are reflected back when they encounter obstacles, and now, the chaotic wires in the sky have produced a large number of reflections, not only in the F-4's airborne radar, but even on the screen of the ground radar, it is also a snowflake.
(There are more precise principles that are explained this way; The essence of metal chaff interference is that under the action of alternating electromagnetic field, alternating current is induced on the chaff, and according to the theory of electromagnetic radiation, this alternating current should radiate electromagnetic waves, that is, produce secondary radiation, so as to passively interfere with radar.)
"They unleashed chaff interference!" The radarman shouted loudly.
Seeing that the bright spot representing the missile, constantly approaching the target, and there was no echo from the Eagle on the radio, General Richard was angry, and he even wanted to order the F-4 fighter that was preparing to engage in an aerial confrontation with the Eagle to shoot down the Eagle Eagle.
And at this moment, he received this report from the radarman, and he understood in an instant.
If you want to be a pilot, you must be the most outstanding person, not only with skilled flying skills, but also with a calm brain.
The Eagle is definitely a very calm person, he must have spotted the suspicion of the target, and then used the missile to force the opponent to show his original form.
No passenger plane can have chaff interference, some can only be military aircraft, under the threat of missiles, the other side no longer pretends to be a passenger plane!
At this time, Victor was in a time of high mental tension, and while he gave the order to release the chaff interference, he pushed the lever violently in the countdown of the tail gunner.
The huge Tu-95 bomber, like a fighter, began to dive downward!
This is also a way to evade radar-guided missiles, and without a pulse-Doppler system and a high-performance computer, chaff can already play a very effective role in jamming radar.
At the same time, due to the effect of gravity, the chaff is constantly falling downward, so before the opponent's missile flies, dive downward, and you can drill into the wire airspace composed of your own chaff, so that the opponent's missile will definitely not hit.
However, this is also dangerous, and if the engine sucks in the chaff, it may cause a stop in the air.
At the critical moment, there is no need to care about so much, the Americans actually dared to fire at themselves, which greatly exceeded their expectations, and now, first dodge the opponent's missiles!
There was a snowflake on the radar screen, and Nathan could see clearly with the naked eye at a distance of several kilometers, and he suddenly felt like a spring breeze was proud.
Think about it when you just crossed over, you were chased by someone else's missile, and you tried your best, plus your luck was good enough, so you can be regarded as dodging.
Who would have thought that after only a few days of work, it would become a self-launched missile chasing others, or a Tu-95!
Nathan from later generations, in memory, the Tu-95 is definitely at the overlord level, appearing in the Cold War confrontation many times, and that huge figure embodies the unique violent aesthetics of Lao Maozi.
And now, this bomber, which the Soviets are proud of, is fleeing in a hurry under the pursuit of its own missiles.
At this time, Nathan didn't have to do any other actions, under the strong electromagnetic echo, the Sparrow missile that was launched was not very reliable, lost the target, continued to fly along the trajectory, and after dozens of seconds, it chose to self-detonate at the end of the flight.
Soviets, stop pretending to be garlic, get out of here!
Nathan pushed the lever around the area of the chaff, and then, cautiously, leaned in.
When flying side by side again, Nathan suddenly saw clearly that those portholes were actually painted with paint!
"Bear bomber, this is US airspace, please return immediately!" Nathan shouted at each other on the radio and on the public channel, and at the same time, in the cockpit, waved his fist.
