Moreover, if the two sides launch missiles at the same time like this, then even a one-to-one exchange ratio is not worthwhile. Tomcat fighter jets are too precious.

Therefore, they have to protect these fighter jets, not to mention that they are still familiar with the road, they are the best pilots who have experienced countless air battles.

It's just that the mature stunt that the F-14 relies on to get rid of the lock, in front of the Mirage F1, is an out-and-out suicide.

Because, Phantom F1 is equipped with a data link.

Four Phantom F1s, then, there will be four radar positions. No matter how the tomcat rolls, it can only disappear on one radar screen at most, but the remaining three radar screens still have to show their original shape.

The radars of the four Mirage F1s have been turned on, using the data link to continuously transmit the position of the Tomcat, and at the same time, guide the Matra 530 missile that was just launched.

After completing the two side rolls, the sound of being locked by the opponent was still heard in my ears. Since I locked on the opponent just now and rolled first, I lost the opportunity to launch the sparrow.

Oops!Ziaz remembered that Tomcat fighter No. 472, even after completing the roll, still couldn't get rid of the opponent's lock, this time it was a miscalculation!

The opponent must have a new type of radar!The opponent's fighter is definitely not the Soviet MiG fighter he is familiar with, but a new type of fighter. Is it the French Mirage fighter newly imported by Iraq, or the recently rumored American F-20?

He has no time to think about these.

"The missile is flying over." The weapon operator in the back cabin said nervously: "It is expected to arrive in 15 seconds!"

"Scatter, maneuver separately, and prepare to get rid of the opponent's missile." Ziaz ordered in the radio. At the same time, he opened the afterburner, pulled up the nose suddenly, and said to the weapon operator in the rear cabin: "Release Platinum Interference."

Chapter 178 Getting Rid of Missiles

Chapter 178 Getting Rid of Missiles——

There are many ways to avoid being locked. The most commonly used method is to use the principle of radar to roll sideways, but this trick has failed.

Then, in the face of incoming missiles, there are two ways to do it, one is to release interference, and the other is to do a large overload maneuver.

The opponent fires medium-range bombs, and the medium-range bombs are guided by the opponent's radar. As long as the platinum strips are released to interfere at the right time, the platinum strips will form a metal wall in the air, causing a barrage to appear on the opponent's radar. White screen, thus losing the target.

The large overload maneuver is also a method. Although the overload of the missile is greater, it can reach more than 20 G or more than 30 G, while the fighter can pull out the overload of the limit of 9 G at most, but the difference between the two is that, Fighter fighters have strong power, but the solid motors of air-to-air missiles can only burn for a few tens of seconds. In the second half of the air-to-air missiles, they fly by inertia without power. Maneuvering can completely consume the kinetic energy of the opponent's missiles. The opponent's missiles will follow their own movements and keep maneuvering so that the missile heads are always facing the enemy plane.In this way, the missile will decrease in speed in repeated tossing.Or the sharp maneuvering action makes the opponent's missile unable to keep up with your own movement. For example, a few seconds before the arrival of the missile, it is pulled up vertically suddenly. Due to the decrease in the speed of the missile, the control torque of the rudder surface has decreased. In this way, the missile has no time to complete the same maneuver. Pulling up, it will rush to the rear of the fighter.And if the missile wants to turn back to a 180-degree turn, it is impossible without a turning radius of several kilometers, and at that time, its own fighter jets have long since disappeared.

Although the principle is very simple, but to actually do it, it depends on the character.

In air combat, anyone who can get rid of the opponent's missiles can be regarded as a god.

Ziaz believes he is perfectly fine, having escaped missiles a few times already.

Ziaz pulled up relatively early, and the missile flying towards him was already climbing up with him. The platinum bar interference released just now did not have much effect.

The radar operator in the back cabin is nervously reporting the number: "Ten seconds, nine seconds..."

Ziaz looked down at the altimeter, and he had reached an altitude of nearly [-] meters. Then, he slammed the joystick and began to dive.

The radar operator in the back cabin was still reporting: "Five seconds, four seconds, three seconds..." He didn't look out of the cabin, the missile must be visible to the naked eye.

Ziaz is still swooping down, and the altimeter in front of him, the pointer is turning round and round, 4000 meters, 3000 meters, 2000 meters, the huge tomcat, the swept wing has been received at the end, It was swooping down to the ground like an eagle pouncing on its prey.

"Two seconds, one second..." The voice of the radar operator in the back cabin was rather flat. If they still can't get rid of the missile, then, in the next second, they will turn into a fireball. Even if they get rid of the missile, they will kiss the earth .

At this moment, Ziaz exhausted all the strength in his body, pulled the control lever back, the airbrake was raised, the swept wing was flattened, the leading edge maneuverable flap was erected, and the huge Tomcat began to dive Posture changed.

At this time, the height from the ground is less than tens of meters.

Long live Allah!The radar operator in the back cabin, because of the huge overload caused a temporary blackout, he didn't need to look out the window, waiting for the last moment.

Suddenly, there was an explosion sound from below, and the tomcat jumped, but it had already spread its wings and successfully recovered.

In the last two seconds, the Matra 530 missile was still flying towards the Tomcat. Because the Tomcat had been diving, its course was also downward, and it did not realize that it was a conspiracy.

At the last moment, Ziaz changed to dive and leveled out. Although Matra can perform a greater overload maneuver, it takes time for its electronic equipment to judge. Moreover, due to the influence of ground echoes, semi-active radar guidance The Matra 530 lost its target at the last moment, it hit the ground and exploded.

Semi-active radar guidance means that although the front end of the missile also has a radar, it only receives signals and does not emit signals. Instead, it relies on the aircraft radar at the rear to transmit radar beams. It can only receive passively. The handling of ground clutter is not as powerful as the carrier aircraft, so the attack failed.Medium-range missiles have altitude restrictions, which is why.

For active radar-guided medium-range missiles, the radar at the front of the missile transmits and receives signals by itself, so it can be ignored after launch, but it is limited by the size of the seeker. The power of the radar is relatively small, and it can only guide at most. It is about [-] kilometers away, so, during the first half of the flight, the carrier signal is still needed.

Wingman Mahmoud also successfully got rid of the missiles fired by the opponent. He was very lucky. After releasing the platinum stripe interference, the missiles chasing him were already unlocked. Improper maintenance, caused by a failure of a key system in the circuit.

Mahmoud flew the plane to a high altitude, and then looked at the ground. Both Tomcats on his side had already been attacked. One was shot down and the other was injured. The lead plane pulled up the nose at the moment it hit the ground. , got rid of the missiles.

Mahmud didn't have time to mourn for his brother who died in battle. He knew that he had to get rid of the enemy in front of him before he could avenge his brother!

Due to the high speed of both sides, in the process of getting rid of the opponent's missiles, the fighter jets of both sides have already entered the visual range.

Due to the training they received in the US military model, the pilots have developed a strong style, facing the two Iraqi planes flying over, they are immediately ready for close-range air combat.

In the BVR battle just now, due to carelessness, I didn't take advantage of it. However, in close combat, there has never been a fighter that can take advantage of the Tomcat, not even the F-15 of the US Air Force!

Ziaz also pulled up the plane, ready for close combat.

The guidance was completed, two hit the enemy plane, and two were unlocked. Such a record has already made Hamad feel excited, because their most advanced Phantom F1 squadron finally took down the Persian Tomcat!

However, the battle has only just begun.

Hamad knew that he couldn't all get into a fight with these tomcats, because the opponents came with a large fleet, and it was more urgent to intercept those bombing squadrons that threatened Abadan more.

So, he turned the two Phantom F1s to deal with the Persian bombing squadrons that had approached Abadan, and he took his wingman Amy and rushed towards the Persian Tomcats.

Even if both of his planes are shot down by the opponent, he must buy time for his companions, create opportunities, and shoot down those bombing squadrons that pose a major threat to Abadan.

Chapter 179 The Function of Infrared Medium-Range Ammunition

Chapter 179 The role of infrared medium-range bullets——

In air battles, fast fights are always used. The two sides are like two martial arts masters. Whoever is slower by a second will end up dead.

In close combat, the F-14, a heavy-duty air superiority fighter with twin engines and double vertical tails, coupled with variable sweeping wings, has not yet had any kind of fighter that can bargain for it.

As for the Phantom F1, although the avionics equipment is advanced, it is just a fighter with a conventional aerodynamic layout, with a single engine and a single vertical tail, and it uses a single "Ata" 9K-50 turbojet engine from Snecma. , the maximum military thrust of the engine is only 5020kg, the afterburner thrust is 7200kg, and the thrust-to-weight ratio is 4.7. Even with no load, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the whole machine is less than 1. Therefore, the maneuverability of the Phantom F1 is severely limited.

Fighting the tomcats at close quarters is purely looking for abuse. However, if these two tomcats are released, they will definitely go to support other fighter jets carrying out the bombing mission. Therefore, Hamad resolutely chose to face it head-on, even if he was shot down. , but also to fight the tomcats face to face!

However, Amy, the wingman at the back, might not be in such a good mood. He knew that there were only a few people who could escape in close combat with the tomcat.

During the climb, Ziaz, relying on the pilot's good eyesight, saw the Iraqi fighter jet flying in the distance.

Unlike the MiGs encountered in the past, this fighter has air intakes from both sides, and unlike the MiG-23, it must be a legal fighter.

The electronic equipment of the legal-made fighter jets is much higher than that of the Soviet-made fighters. No wonder the opponent successfully killed two fighters of its own in the first round of air combat just now. However, compared to close combat, the Tomcat is not afraid of any fighters. fighter!

Ziaz turned on the afterburner, and the fighter was climbing rapidly. At the same time, he activated a Sidewinder missile under the wing and began to be in a ready state.
