Chapter 0680 - Soaring to the Sky (2)

The F-14 Tomcat is the world's first third-generation heavy fighter to enter service. As an opponent, the Su-27 entered service more than ten years later than it, and its technical level is far inferior.

Even compared to the F-15, the F-14 has a unique skill when it appears. Its AN/AWG-9 radar is a well-crafted masterpiece of Hughes, which can simultaneously track twenty targets at different distances and lock on six of them for strikes.

Coupled with the 'Immortal's ultra-long range of 150 kilometers, this heavy fighter can be called invincible until it is retired - the F-15 will have to be developed to the C model, and the AIM-120D model will be able to match it.

As for the Su-27 series, this is more head-scratching. When it really has combat effectiveness, the F-22 will be born, and everyone will be scum.

At the moment, the turbofan engine of the 'Super Tomcat' is turning on the afterburner to close the distance between the two F-15Cs. As long as the distance is closer, the larger the non-escape zone and the higher the missile hit rate.

Zhou Qingfeng's mental power was integrated with Arcie, and the extremely fast control radar locked the target, and the airborne fire control system quickly loaded the target parameters into the mounted missile.

The Immortal's active radar homing head began to power up, and after a few seconds it popped out of the belly pylon with a loud noise. The missile fell to a certain height, and the rocket engine ignited, spewing out a long white tail flame.

It will soon be accelerated to Mach 5 and hit an F-15C about fifty kilometers away.

The Eagle Sauce pilot was really careless, so he didn't expect to be beaten. At the moment of the launch of the missile, its fate was decided.

After one missile was launched, the second and third missiles broke away from the pylons one after another, and white tail flames appeared one after another, pushing the missile body to rush forward. They lock onto their respective targets in turn until they hit.

On the radar screen, the two F-15Cs were originally unflinching reverse-locking 'Super Tomcats'. However, the range of the medium-range bomb AIM-120A they carried was far inferior to that of the 'immortal bird', and the inescapable zone was also pitiful.

Three missiles were fired, and Zhou Qingfeng's spirit moved. The 'Super Tomcat''s variable sweep wings are gently extended, and the 20-ton fuselage turns from high speed to low speed, and turns nimbly, turns around and runs.

The 'Immortal Bird' is an active radar projectile that can be fired and left alone. The carrier aircraft only needs to provide the initial position of the target, and it can lock on the tracking itself.

It was only at this moment that the two F-15Cs woke up from a dream and were surprised to find that they had become the target of the attack. They hurriedly turned, and drove as hard as they could, trying to get out of the 'inescapable zone'.

The E-3, which was one hundred and fifty kilometers away, was also stunned, because the third missile was coming towards it - someone dared to launch a missile at Eagle Sauce's AWACS aircraft.

"Turn!"

In the cabin, the officer on duty saw a small dot of Mach five rushing towards him on the radar screen and rushed into the cockpit in a heart-rending tone.

"Turn around, you should be able to escape."

"Inform the base that we are under attack."

"Strong electromagnetic interference against the active radar of the 'Immortal Bird' makes it lose its target."

The cabin of the E-3 was a hectic affair, and neither the pilot nor the radar operator had ever encountered such an incident. They can only train according to their daily routines and do some targeted evasion and defense.

It's just that......

The E-3 is a modification of the 707 airliner, and its huge fuselage of more than 100 tons is a big target, don't talk about any maneuverability.

The four TF33 engines are also not in afterburner, so don't even think about speeding up when you use your strength to eat.

After accelerating to Mach 5, Immortal ran out of fuel and went into gliding. But by this time it was already as fast as lightning, and its speed was close to 6,000 kilometers per hour. One hundred and fifty kilometers can be reached in just two minutes.

A two-minute countdown to death!

The E-3 has a cruising speed of Mach 0.6 and a cruising altitude of 9,000 meters. The incoming 'immortal birds' are descending from a height of 15,000 meters.

The officer on duty only had to do mental arithmetic to know that he could not count on the speed of the E-3. He could only turn around and stare at the AWACS aircraft's own electronic countermeasures system, hoping to deceive the 'immortal bird'.

However, the active radar bomb is not easy to deceive!

The E-3 is the size of the aircraft and has a high-power radar turned on, which is the most eye-catching target in the sky. The 'immortal bird' that rushed to it had also been fine-tuned by Alcee, and its anti-jamming ability was enhanced, and the signal source was locked.

Seeing that the incoming missiles were getting closer and closer, the people in the cabin of the E-3 gradually became hysterical. No one wants to die, but death is near.

At this juncture, it is difficult for ordinary people to play at the level of ordinary training.

"Sir, the two signals for 'Whiplash' Six are gone." The face of one of the radar controllers was as pale as dirt. He stood up from his console, hoping that the officer on duty would say something.

Without much thought, those two escort F-15Cs were taken out. They were too close to the Super Tomcat to break away from the Inescapable Zone and were torn to shreds by the Immortal's sixty-kilogram warhead.

But who can care about others now? The officer on duty stared only at the display console of electronic countermeasures. The airborne countermeasure system has been tuned to the radar band of the 'Immortal Bird' to carry out reverse jamming.

It takes a while for electronic jamming, but the high-speed bright spot on the radar screen doesn't change in the slightest.

Another group of F-15Cs escorting the escort was hurrying in from the other direction, but it was useless for them to come. The officers on duty in E-3 had to calm themselves and comfort themselves and their subordinates.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the maximum range of the 'Immortal Bird' is only one hundred and fifty kilometers. We're quickly disengaging from the edge of range, and we might run out of power when it comes. ”

For the E-3, the maximum range of the missile is the 'non-escape zone'. This time, he was killed by the 'Super Tomcat' to a distance of 150 kilometers, and he could only gamble his life and death.

Half of the two minutes had passed, but the 'immortal bird' was still flying straight over. Its speed slowed somewhat, but it showed no signs of offset.

The Eagle Sauce ground commander in Qatar had already learned about the situation on the radio and was hurriedly asking what was going on?

But the officer on duty in the cabin was already stunned, and he and his subordinates did all they could to save the E-3. Now that time is ticking, there is less and less room for him to make decisions.

"Prepare the umbrella bag." The flight commander in the cockpit rushed over and shouted at the stupid crowd in the cabin: "Open the hatch quickly, and if you can't escape, you can parachute." ”

The people in the cabin were busy again, looking for their respective parachute bags.

However, the last time ran out, and the 'Immortal Bird' shot from a distance of 150 kilometers showed no signs of running out of kinetic energy, and hit the 'E-3' directly.

The high-speed projectile grazed the back of the AWACS aircraft, and the proximity fuse detonated a 60-kilogram warhead. Thousands of explosive fragments formed a ring-shaped cutting blade that broke through E-3's body.

The AWACS plane, which was more than 100 tons, immediately emitted black smoke, and the two engines on the right side caught fire in an instant, and the nose of the plane fell downward. The pilot in the cockpit struggled to control the flight attitude, but this was to no avail.

"Skydive!" The pilot could only make the final decision, but when he turned around and entered the cabin. The skylight in the cabin has been opened, a large number of instruments and equipment have been torn apart, and the occupants have suffered heavy casualties.

At noon that day, the news spread, and the world was once again captivated by the latest Gulf situation.

Saddam Hussein, who was staying in Baghdad, received one message after another.

"The Persian 'Tomcats' fired missiles at our enemies."

"Ha....., those cowards actually dared to do it."

"The evil enemy lost two F-15s and one E-3."

"Ha ......, brilliant results. Hats off to the pilots who have achieved such an achievement! ”

"Fighters that inflicted heavy damage on the enemy landed on our airfield in Baghdad."

"What......? What kind of person is this so lacking in virtue? At this time, they have to pull us into the water. ”
