2102 Infrared Combat Missile

At this time, at 4:30 p.m. on May 5, the anti-aircraft artillery positions of hundreds of small islands around the port of Helsinki had been basically blown up, and Lin Yuan immediately ordered Meng Tingkai, commander of the 3rd Air Division, to dispatch bombers to bomb the British fleet in the port of Helsinki!

As soon as the order was given, the H-1 fighters of the 3rd Air Force Division immediately roared into the air, and the air force field airfield in Tartu, Estonia, had 20 runways, which was much larger than the temporary airfield at Wan'an Beach, and enough for many H-1 fighters to take off at the same time.

At the same time as the bomb took off into the air, the air Yuyi also roared into the air, their task was to protect the bombardment, although the airport in Helsinki was destroyed, but Lin Yuan did not let down his vigilance, and still let the air Yuyi escort.

Estonia's air force airfield is located in Tartu in the south, Tartu is the second largest city in Estonia, 300 kilometers away from Helsinki, Lin Yuan did not dare to put the airport in Tallinn, which is only more than 100 kilometers away from the port of Helsinki, because it is too close to the enemy, in case the British army sends planes to sneak attack, the radar unit may not even have time to warn.

Flying 300 kilometers is a matter of minutes for the Chinese Air Force aircraft, so the group of H-1 and Air You-1 soon came to the sky over the Baltic Sea, and on top of the H-1 and Air Yu-1 group, four J-25s were scanning the battlefield airspace with radar.

At this moment, the J-25, who served as the air commander, suddenly found that a group of high-speed targets were rapidly approaching the H-1 group, because the distance between the high-speed targets was not far, so there was an overlap in the radar echo, and the number of targets could not be directly observed from the radar screen, and could only be estimated by experience.

Zhao Lei, the commander of the J-25, ordered with a communicator: "Air superiority, immediately fly due north to meet unknown high-speed targets, the number of enemy targets is about eight to sixteen." ”

The commander of the air superiority one is the pilot Luo Wen, he immediately ordered eight air superiority one to fly towards the enemy plane, according to the direction indicated by the J-25, Rowan quickly found twelve black dots in the distance, these twelve black dots are lined up in a diamond shape every four, and the three diamonds form a triangular formation.

Rowan smiled secretly in his heart, the British pilots learned smartly and knew the formation of discharge, these twelve planes discharged three diamond formations, in the diamond formation, the planes in front would block the planes behind and hide themselves in front of the radar.

Rowan laughed and also keenly felt that the British plane was different from the original, the most obvious difference was the speed, this time the British plane was obviously faster than the Charizard that he met last time, it can be determined that this British aircraft must have used a new power plant.

Rowan picked up the binoculars and looked at the British plane carefully, and was suddenly surprised to find that there was no propeller at the front of the nose of the British plane, only a big black hole, Rowan thought in his heart: "Could it be that this British plane is a jet?" That big black hole is the airplane's air intake? ”

Although Rowan thought that the British plane was a jet aircraft, he was not surprised, let alone panicked, because at this time, the air superiority was equipped with a more powerful air combat weapon - air-to-air combat missiles!

The military designation of this type of air-to-air combat missile is "KKD-99," where "KKD" stands for "air-to-air missile," and "99" represents the year when the design of this type of missile was finalized -- 1899.

This type of missile uses an infrared seeker, and the key material -- "indium antimonide" -- is refined from China's rare earth ore, which is not available in other countries.

Rowan picked up the communicator and said loudly: "Turn on the infrared sight and search for the target." ”

Before the KKD-99 missile is launched, it needs to be roughly aimed at the target with an infrared sight, so that the missile can fly to the approximate position of the target, and the infrared seeker can only find the target when the missile is close to the target.

What the British didn't expect was that their latest jet fighter made them a target instead, it turned out that they were using a propeller aircraft, the speed of the propeller aircraft was slow, and the heating range of the air to the fuselage was not high, but the jet aircraft flew fast, and under the action of the air, the temperature of the fuselage was not low, which made it easy for the air to target the jet.

Whether it is a propeller plane or a jet aircraft, the temperature at the tail of the aircraft is the highest, and Air Youichi was supposed to go around the tail of the British fighter to launch missiles, but Rowan did not want to miss the opportunity to attack the opponent, so he ordered the use of missiles in the direction of the opponent.

Rowan's fighter was the first to lock on to a British fighter, because the British army lacked a long-range early warning aircraft to command the battle, so they had not yet discovered the air superiority of the Chinese Air Force at this time, so they did not evacuate the formation, did not accelerate, and maintained the original constant speed.

The constant speed of the British planes gave great convenience to the fire control system on the Air Superiority One, which could easily calculate the position of the British aircraft at a certain moment in the future, so as to launch the missile to that position.

Rowan's fighter was the first to lock on to a British plane, on the infrared sight, the crosshair turned red, and at the same time, the missile launch prompt sounded, which was different from the fault alarm sound, which was a sharp whistling, and the missile launch prompt sound was pleasant, similar to the wind chime.

Rowan gently pressed the missile launch button on the steering stick, and Rowan saw an orange-yellow light flash from the lower right of his body, which was the missile's tail flame, which quickly turned into a bright spot in the air and flew towards the British fighter.

The speed of the missile was very fast, and it reached the vicinity of the British fighter in the blink of an eye, and the infrared seeker instantly captured a British fighter, and then adjusted the steering gear, and controlled the missile to fly towards the British fighter, and when it was only more than 30 meters away from the British fighter, the fuse on the missile was activated, detonating the explosives in the warhead of the warhead.

The KKD-99 uses a continuous rod warhead, which is exploded by explosives and forms a large ring in the air, which flies at high speed, like a sharp blade flying in the sky.

The continuous rod ring directly hit the right wing of a British fighter, directly cutting off the wing from one-third of the wing root, the gravity of the aircraft is all balanced by the lift provided by the wing, as soon as the wing is broken, the plane immediately falls downward, in the process of falling, the moment generated by the lift of the left wing can not be balanced, and the whole aircraft rotates under the action of the torque.

The British fighter plane spun and landed into the sea below, leaving the entire British aircraft formation stunned, and the British pilots had no idea what was happening, because it happened so fast.
