Chapter 69: MiG in "Typhoon".
In the face of the missile offensive of the enemy planes, Long Yun and the others naturally would not blindly be beaten passively.
In the process of vigorous maneuvering, in order to put pressure on the opponent, Long Yun and his wingman also successively launched two R-27R and R-27T in response. Although the scene cannot be compared to the oncoming missile rain, it can be regarded as the best use if it can successfully harass the opponent and prevent them from calmly entering the visual air battle.
Due to the correct timing and proper handling, although the violent evasion tactics of Long Yun's dual machines were thrilling, they achieved good results.
Although the swarming AIM-7M looks really scary, once it enters the critical terminal guidance, because the missiles have a first and the last, the seeker will fall into the chaotic separation of different beam channels, and the more missiles at this time, the more troublesome it will be. After the magnificent smoke trail of twelve AIM-7Ms, two MiG-29s are still safe and sound in the sky; If Americans see such a scene of burning money, I don't know if they will vomit blood in anger.
But at this time, the battle was just beginning.
The Germans did not sit idle after firing their missiles, they continued to sprint at high speed with afterburner, and swept in from the direction of the crossing; The Longyun twin planes had just experienced the baptism of intensive medium-range missiles, and they fell into the encirclement of superior opponents.
The well-trained 37 Squadron, with a strong sense of group combat, had at this time clearly divided into two twin groups, which were outflanked from the left and right flanks; They had been able to dodge mid-range attacks from MiGs before, but the wave of four missiles didn't make them a big mess.
The medium-range missile, which has been repeatedly criticized, has once again become a false throwing gun to intimidate each other, and in order to truly solve the problem, it is still necessary to move seriously at close range.
Before entering the visual air battle, he was busy maneuvering to avoid the rain of missiles in the sky, and Long Yun almost lost contact with the wingman, and at this time he didn't bother to beckon the wingman to follow him. Seeing a few black shadows attacking left and right in the sky, Long Yun immediately entered the climb, he had already found that his opponent this time was quite difficult, and he had to accumulate as much energy advantage as possible before entering the fight.
In this way, Long Yun and the wingman entered the circling battle with the opponent almost at the same time, and each MiG-29 had to face the attack of two enemy aircraft, which was a great test for Ivan Kerensky on the wingman, but Long Yun was now unable to take care of him for the time being.
Entering the tense combat air combat, Major Schmering, the pilot of EF2000 No. 37+06, was particularly excited, and he commanded his wingman to follow him in a violent circle, biting the tail of the MiG that attacked from above.
As the first aviation wing in the Federal Republic of Germany to be retrofitted with an advanced EF2000, they were confined to the ground in the first week of the war due to a problem with the fighter control system, and did not have the ability to do anything until they were temporarily transferred to a temporary base in France. One can imagine their feelings when they saw other fighter wings still using backward F-4F fighting bloody battles in the German skies.
Today they finally got the opportunity again, and their goal is to teach these hateful Russians a hard lesson and take down all their MiGs!
I feel that today's opponent still has some strength, since there are only two MiGs to deal with, the missiles are completely sufficient; Major Schmering suddenly entered an instantaneous circle, seizing the opportunity to shoot two AIM-9Ms at once. Seeing the rapidly departing missile chasing after the tail of the MiG, only to be distorted by the latter's nimble maneuver, and then passing past the opponent who was turning sharply sideways, Schmering let out a roar of surprise.
This Russian guy has good skills!
Of course, the missile couldn't hit the target, because the MiG-29 he was chasing was Long Yun's Red Thirteen.
Just when he entered the circle, alert to the sudden attack that the opponent might launch, Long Yun kept circling to try to occupy a position, he glanced at the opponent's figure, but was almost taken aback.
- Oh my God, what kind of plane is that?
How does it seem to be J-10?! Long Yun was surprised.
Sure enough, I've been dreaming big all along? - Oh, no!
Through the reflection of the sun, Long Yun saw the iron cross symbol on the mobile phone. It's Germans!
The appearance of the enemy aircraft in front of you is very similar to the J-10, but there are two tail vents, this is the European joint fighter in his own world: EF2000?
These two worlds are really different.
Long Yun remembers that in the real world, the EF2000 only entered mass production in 2002, but now it is clearly still 1996, and he has met this kind of guy with quite strong performance.
There is no time to speculate, Long Yun quickly recalled the performance parameters and driving experience of the EF2000, he had many battles with this model in the air combat game before, and it was indeed a rather difficult opponent; Not to mention anything else, it has a static and unstable design, a body that is even smaller than the MiG-29, but it is equipped with two EJ200 engines with an afterburner thrust of 90 kN, and its maneuverability is obviously higher than that of the MiG-29 that he is driving. Today it looks like we're going to get into a tough battle!
But the lightning of air battles, where is there time for Long Yun to think more; Just when he hesitated slightly, the enemy plane behind him had already launched two missiles first, and Long Yun immediately entered a violent sideways, although this would make him lose speed even more, but now he had no choice.
To his surprise, there was silence on the radio now, and Long Yun was very worried about the situation of the wingman, so he could only glance at the aerial confrontation in the distance between the piloting confrontations.
With one enemy and two to deal with EF2000, Ivan's situation can be said to be very critical at this time.
Completely different from Long Yun's situation, Ivan Kerensky, who is obviously inferior in technology, is constantly thrilling in the air, he almost uses all his strength, but he can't get rid of the EF2000 that follows him like a shadow.
I didn't meet this European star of hope in actual combat before, Ivanov didn't know the actual capabilities of EF2000, and he was still using the high-intensity confrontation strategy that MiG-29 was used to, but I didn't know that such a combat mode was in front of EF2000, which had a thrust-to-weight ratio of more than 1.3 in air combat, and it was a short blow and long stun.
Seeing that the MiG plane in front of him entered another violent climb after turning sideways, Captain Lucas on the 37+05 plane immediately followed, he did not catch the target in the last maneuver, he did not expect this Russian to repeat his old tricks!
Using the powerful explosive power of the EF2000, he drove the plane into a steep steep climb, grabbed the MiG to complete the leveling, and then fired two AIM-9Ms at the MiGs who were about to dive away.
With a large cloud of smoke rising from under the wings, the thin-rod "Sidewinder" missile accelerated into a dive attack, and soon caught up with the MiG, which was trying to recover its speed, and exploded two bright fireworks in the sky.
Ivan Kerensky was hit!
