Major Kamenev's voice resounded through the headphones, and the pilots' fingers paused for a moment on the buttons.

With the force of the thumb, the circuit was instantly connected, and the speeding fighter plane shook up and down in bursts of bumps and trembles, and the gray-white R-27EP missiles with a length of more than four meters and a weight of 350 kilograms were thrown away and ignited one by one, and the sky was suddenly covered with dense traces of missile launch smoke.

One after another, the R-27EP missiles that were thrown away from the fuselage accelerated away with smoke and fire, and the passive homing head began to intermittently scan the predetermined airspace to identify and track any trace of radiation signal.

Eight Su-27S in a full state, this missile salvo is completely a big deal: in just a dozen seconds, the weapon pylons originally used to mount R-27R/T missiles have all become empty, except for a few missiles that have failed to launch, there are as many as 46 R-27ERs in the sky that are scattered in a fan shape.

Thanks to the technical improvements brought by the traverser, these R-27EPs that break through the air can automatically fly in the direction of the target without the supervision of the carrier aircraft.

Although the R-27EP was only set in the approximate target direction by the carrier aircraft, the homing head had been powered on and the intermittent monitoring work in the initial stage of launch had begun. Despite the fact that at a distance of tens of kilometers, even a specially designed anti-radiation seeker cannot accurately determine the orientation of the target, it is quite enough for the course planning of the missile.

One after another, like firefighters following the light in the night sky, anti-radiation missiles dragging a long track flew in the shadowless electromagnetic radiation signal guidance; However, it is not the same as the self-destruction of a moth to a fire. Everywhere these huge throwing guns, weighing three hundred and fifty kilograms, went. But it will burst into an unprecedented burst of death fireworks. It will also turn the sky into the end of the life of those fighters who emit radiation signals.

Seize the opportunity and open fire decisively; After completing a dense BVR salvo, the Sukhoi fighters of the 237th Regiment quickly entered the side turn and turned around to disengage the radar contact with the American fighters.

As the commander of the fighter group, Major Kamenev, who has undergone many simulated trainings, is also the first time to conduct such an over-the-horizon operation, the so-called "missile launches immediately after disengagement", which is completely impossible for the semi-active radar-guided R-27R, even the legendary R-77 that is about to be put into actual combat cannot do it. But recalling the previous secret training sessions again and again. Thinking of the working principle of the anti-radiation seeker explained by Victor, the major still confidently led his comrades to circle the north, and at the same time reported to the ground command station that "the missile is launched, and contact is expected to occur in one minute."

Any advanced weapon requires appropriate tactics to function; In the face of the ignorant US fighters in the southern sky, the lethality of the R-27P/EP can be maximized.

After secret training, Kamenev has a very clear understanding of the mechanism of anti-radiation air-to-air missiles, and he knows that the biggest advantage of this missile is that it is "without warning": unless the pilot of the target aircraft can detect the incoming missile with the naked eye, there will be no clue before it hits.

In this respect alone, the capabilities of the R-27P/EP missile seem to be very similar to that of an infrared-guided missile like the R-27T. However, for the oncoming target at the beginning of the air battle, it is difficult for the infrared seeker to complete the lock at a close range of nearly 1,000 meters. It can be said that it does not have the ability to intercept head-on in the sense of actual combat; In a large-scale air battle, head-on interception is the most typical mode of engagement, and we should never wait for the enemy plane to complete its attack and break away before launching missiles, which is tantamount to putting oneself in a completely disadvantageous situation.

Of course, it is also difficult for air-to-air missiles, which carry limited energy and can only be powered by guò batteries, to keep the seeker working throughout the missile's flight.

To this end, the self-guidance head of the R-27P/EP adopts the working mode of intermittent power-on, and only turns on and refreshes the target orientation at certain intervals in the initial stage of transmission, and only when it is close to the target and the radiation signal is strong, it will continue to turn on the guidance until it hits. In this way, once the target implements maneuver evasion, the hit probability will become very poor, the missile will waste a lot of energy in frequent maneuver and follow, and the attack envelope will also be greatly reduced; However, as mentioned earlier, how can the enemy know that he is being hunted in the face of a silent attack of anti-radiation missiles in the sky?

Since it is impossible to detect the attack of missiles, how can we talk about "maneuvering evasion".

The distance of 60 kilometers is only a minute for the R-27EP, which has increased its thrusters and greatly increased weight; Following the X-band radar radiation signal from the sky, and tracing the beam side lobes of the AN/APG-70 radar on the F-15E fighter, the stout gray spears flew through the sky, showing their sharp vengeful fangs to the "attack eagles" who were still unaware.

A completely unprepared missile attack was a complete catastrophe for the 42 Squadron.

Just a minute ago, the "flankers" of the Ivan were spotted turning and running away, and although Harris had made many guesses with his seasoned battlefield grinding, he never guessed the threat from the sky.

Next, the 42nd Squadron dispersed left and right, busy dealing with a large number of MiG planes attacking at low altitudes, and the "Attack Eagles" who had completed the target lock launched AIM-120B one after another, and at this time, the "Slammer" was still flying on the halfway journey of the enemy planes.

While maintaining a flight attitude, it provided target correction information for the "Slammer" missile in the air, and the dark gray stout fighter was still flying freely in the sky; However, just opposite them, a gray blurred dark spot in the sky was already faintly visible, and the breath of death was permeating, flying all the way from sixty kilometers away to the front, the anti-radiation seeker was already in a continuous working state, and the missiles that each grabbed the strongest radiation source were speeding all the way at high speed, and the encounter was just around the corner!

The threat of silence in the sky could not be detected by the onboard equipment, but the battle-hardened Lieutenant Colonel Fletcher Harris had a hint of intuition, perhaps an inexplicable sixth sense of the veteran, that made him feel a chill in the cockpit.

Staring at the multifunctional display, there is no unexpected change in the trajectory of the target, the "Slime" missile is already on the road, but this feeling is ......

Because the AN/APG-70 radar has to continuously illuminate the target, obtain the target parameters and calculate the medium-range correction instructions, the lieutenant colonel can only fly smoothly on the side of the line of fire with the fighter, and he cannot maneuver arbitrarily now, after all, the deflection angle of the flat slit antenna in the nose cone of the fighter is limited; Just when he was piloting the fighter plane to turn slowly sideways and keep pace with his subordinate fighters, an inadvertent glance at the sky gave him an ominous premonition for a moment.

Is that...... Those gray-black traces, could it be-

Is it a missile?!

It was completely instinctive speculation, and for a moment he only felt a chill all over his body, and the only remaining sanity of the lieutenant colonel was still working hard, telling him that even if it was a missile, he didn't have to be afraid, the Russians' infrared missiles couldn't hit so far, and the radar-guided missiles were not irradiated by the carrier aircraft-

But what is this feeling, as if being kicked by a beast?

Suddenly, an incomprehensible aerial scene was seen, and Fletcher Harris's brain circuits fell into a brief stagnation; Although it was only for a moment, his hand was already exerting force on the joystick, but the short time was gone, and the Mach 3 speed missile flew from the horizon to the front of him, no more, no less, only a matter of seconds.

"Missiles, missiles are coming! Evade it now—"

Subconsciously screaming loudly, the lieutenant colonel struggled to pull the rod and kick the rudder, and the dark gray "Attack Eagle" nose was raised high, and a vortex white mist burst out from its back; However, it was already too late, the F-15E, which had just increased its angle of attack and was about to enter the large overload maneuver, was so slow and clumsy in front of the rapidly pounced missiles, those gray-black terrifying figures were getting bigger and closer, and the stout death javelins suddenly approached, and soon came into contact with the fighters in the sky!

The proximity fuse action, the warhead detonated instantly, and the flying debris and the hideous continuous rod raged in the air, and the sky that was clear and clean a moment ago suddenly turned into a terrifying purgatory of steel and fire.

One after another, the missiles with almost straight rudders were constantly being fired, and the American pilots, who were completely defenseless, only heard the loud roar of the lieutenant colonel before the plane was shot, and they only noticed the terrible black shadow in the sky when they panicked, but it was already too late.

At a distance of 60 kilometers, the "Attack Eagle", which had previously made a left and right side turn, had actually left the airspace where the missile was launched. In the face of the intensive attack of dozens of anti-radiation missiles, in fact, most of them were unable to follow because the target deviated too far, and only less than one-third of them were killed by actually crossing the sky and splitting the surface.

However, the advantages and disadvantages of the R-27P/EP are well known, and the strategy of "anti-radiation station" formulated by Viktor Rezenov is like this, that is, using an unprecedented number of anti-radiation missiles to carry out a storm of dense barrage firing, and using perfect ballistic planning to completely block the airspace where the opponent may appear.

This kind of violent tactic of "casting a net to catch fish" has obviously played a huge role today.

The Americans, who had just turned on the side to evade active radar-guided missiles, were already quite lucky; However, it is still one step away from escaping the clutches of death. (To be continued......)
