Due to the limitations of the airframe and the layout of the air intake in the nose, it is impossible to install a large radar. In the nose of the MiG-21, only a small targeting radar is installed, while the J-[-] has nothing.

"Drop the auxiliary fuel tank and prepare to kill the Iranian plane." Hidali said on the radio.

So far, the Iranian Tomcat has never left the sky over Tehran. For other F-4 and F-5 fighters, the MiG-21 still has a great chance to win, at least after the two sides contact, If he tried to escape again, when the other party turned the corner, he would have already flown away from the low altitude in the mountains. In short, he could not escape now.

He also hoped in his heart that he would not really run into a tomcat.

Soon, two Iranian fighter planes flew out from the side mountain.

However, at this time, the two sides are already flying against each other.

Unless there is a head-on attack missile with good performance, otherwise, the siege attack is still the most effective way.

However, what the two Iraqi pilots did not expect was that the Iranian pilots were so brave!

Except for the early MiG 21PF, MiG 21 has two GSh-23L machine guns. However, after the Vietnam War, there have been few examples of using machine guns for air combat. Pilots of the Iraqi Air Force rarely trained Use machine guns for aerial combat.

The J-21 is derived from the MiG-30. Except for the basic model that uses the 23mm cannon inherited from the J-[-], the rest are also [-]mm cannons.

However, in an era when air-to-air missiles have already become the dominant force in air combat, and even some fighters have canceled their cannons, although there are two cannons, they only have 100 rounds of ammunition each. Will light up.

After the Iranian pilots flew out of the mountains, they immediately found the target they wanted to attack. However, it was very embarrassing that the two sides were flying head-on at this time. Even if their sidewinder missiles were advanced, they could not do this. s attack.

You can only fly over, and then turn around and enter the air battle. It depends on who is skilled and can complete this action first and successfully enter the opponent's rear hemisphere.

However, there is also another possibility, the opponent is likely to have disappeared with a turning radius of a few kilometers.

Hidali looked at the approaching fighter plane. Since the opponent was coming from a low altitude and was climbing higher, he had already seen clearly that the fighter plane in the distance was indeed very similar to his own MiG-21, and his superiors had already notified it. According to news, the Iranian Air Force is equipped with J-[-] fighters imported from China. It seems that this is the first time I have encountered it.

Hidali suddenly had an ominous feeling. After the two sides flew head-on, his formation should fly away from the mountains as soon as possible. After all, his mission this time is reconnaissance, not air combat.

The distance between the two parties is rapidly approaching. This situation is a situation that will be encountered in close combat. The two parties can't wait to strangle each other to death, but now, there is nothing other than cursing a few words in their hearts. method, after flying head-on, it's time to test the pilot's skills.

At this time, suddenly, a J-[-] in front made a move that Hidali would never forget.

As the distance between the two sides approached rapidly, one of the J-[-] suddenly raised its nose, and then, two flames flashed under the belly of the aircraft, and the opponent actually opened fire, using an aircraft cannon!

The pilots of the Iranian Air Force are very excited. This is the first confrontation with the Iraqi Air Force this year. We must do the next plane!Their style is bold, and they are not bound by various regulations. Therefore, one of the pilots suddenly thought of a trick and quickly adjusted the fire control to the cannon state. When the two sides were about to approach, they pulled up the nose, regardless of the At your own peril, carry out a cannon attack.

With the flames under the belly of the aircraft, the shell casings kept flying out and fell under the plane. One after another, the 30mm shells flew towards the unlucky MiG 21 ahead.

The Iranians are crazy, this is a suicide attack!

Chapter 4 J-21 VS MiG-[-] ([-])

For a moment, Hessney felt like his brain was short-circuited. This is not a modern air combat, it seems to have returned to the era of World War I and World War II!Cannon attack, next, will the other party have a suicidal collision?

The MiG-21 swayed with difficulty in the airflow of the opponent's machine gun. Suddenly, the wing trembled and was actually hit by a shell from the opponent.

At such a short distance, the artillery shells are very powerful, and, what's more, there are two small wing fuel tanks on the wings of the MiG 21.

Because of the fuel consumption of the turbojet engine and the inherently small fuel load coefficient of the MiG 21, the MiG 21's space time is not long. Soviet engineers creatively added wings to the front of the MiG 21's wing. The fuel tank, which is also the first type of MiG series aircraft to use wing fuel tanks, only leads to a complicated structure, while the Chinese-made J-[-] canceled this design.

The wing fuel tank was hit, and the flames had already ignited before the fire suppression and explosion suppression system was activated.

The pilot immediately retracted his legs and pulled the ejector handle under the cockpit.

The seat ejection device of the MiG 21 is relatively backward. It does not use the cover-breaking gun with mature technology in later generations to penetrate the roof. The rocket seat is ejected, and the canopy is pushed open. This way of separation.

The cockpit cover of the MiG 21 is flipped forward. When the bomb is fired, the canopy will automatically flip forward to shield the pilot from the strong wind in front. During the bombing process, the pilot’s seat and part of the cockpit come out as a whole. This led to the complexity of the technology. For the Soviet Union, which had passed the process, failures may occur. For China, which only obtained part of the blueprints at that time, the processing technology was not good enough. This kind of frequently malfunctioning seat will take away the pilot's life. life.

Therefore, the new J-[-] has been replaced with a new type of bullet seat.

The ejection process was very smooth. After the pilot flew away from the MiG-21 with the seat, there was an explosion sound below. The MiG-21 had already disintegrated in the air.

However, the J-1000 on the opposite side is not much better, because the distance between the two sides is too close, the distance of [-] meters is just a matter of a few seconds, firing shells is enjoyable, but then, the opponent's fighter plane exploded , He didn't have time to react at all, and J-Qi rushed into the heat wave.

Hidari felt uncomfortable. At this time, he had already passed by another fighter plane. There were two ways in front of him. One was to immediately push the rod into the low altitude and escape into the mountain peak, and the other was to escape. Just turn around and fight!

Thinking that his comrade-in-arms had turned into an umbrella flower, Xidali was cruel, pulled the lever and stepped on the rudder, and made a quick turn. Suddenly, a huge overload pressed his body against the seat, and his eyes became more and more painful. Black, the anti-G suit began to tighten, pushing the blood from the lower body back to the upper body.

The Iranian pilot was panting and passed through the flames just now. Although the fuselage did not explode, the two outer skins of the aircraft had been hit by debris from the explosion. More importantly, the engine had stopped due to smoke. !

For a single-engine fighter like the J-[-], stopping the engine is absolutely fatal.

During the development of the J-[-], a big problem was overcome. During the launch of the missile, the smoke from the missile was inhaled into the engine, causing the engine to shut down. After repeated research by Tu Jida and others, the major accident was finally solved. problem.

However, the current failure was caused by the Iranian pilot himself. Using a cannon to attack the head-on enemy plane is already a courting act. To save face, the engine swallows smoke and stops, which is normal.

Iranian pilots are trying their best to operate the fighter plane, hoping to restart the engine in the air, but the turbojet 7 engine cannot start by itself in the air below 500 meters, and now, the height from the ground is already quite low, reckless The Iranian pilot lost a plane because of his eagerness to fight. He felt guilty for himself and pulled the bullet handle, and the Iranian pilot also ejected the fighter plane.

At this time, there was one MiG-21 and one J-[-] left in the air. In the first fight just now, it can be said that the two sides were tied, or it could be said that both sides suffered losses, and no one benefited.

However, another Iranian pilot had flown the F14, his combat skills were excellent, he was more experienced, and he would not make the same mistakes as the wingman just now.After passing by both sides, he chose to turn on the afterburner and climb vertically!

The J-21 inherited the advantages of the MiG-500's portability, and its vertical maneuverability is also very good. He kept climbing until he was [-] meters in the air, and then he pulled the lever and pedaled the rudder again. The plane rolled and resumed level flight. state.

He has already taken advantage of the height, the MiG 21 made a horizontal turn at 500 meters in the air.

After the MiG-21 finished turning around, Hidali looked around, the airspace around him was empty, and there was no shadow of the J-[-] just now!

Suddenly, cold sweat dripped from his body. Where did the hateful Iranian plane fly to?Can't see each other, that's the most dangerous!

The cockpit of the MiG 21 has a very narrow field of vision, the sides and the front are very small, and the rear field of view is even zero. The high back blocks the rear tightly. The Iranian plane may have run to He went to his rear, and Hidali had to make a few maneuvers in an attempt to find the enemy plane behind him, even if he could see the enemy plane behind him, it would be good.

It's a pity that he didn't glance at the airspace above, but he still couldn't see the Iranian plane behind and above him.

The Iranian pilot looked at the MiG-21 below, full of disdain. The quality of the Iraqi pilots is really very poor!As soon as he climbed up by himself, he couldn't find it. He really didn't know where he was dead. He didn't give the opponent a chance, flipped the switch, and was ready to launch the Sidewinder missile.

He pointed the nose at the opponent, and the exhaust nozzle was just within the range of the Sidewinder missile's infrared seeker.

Now the opportunity is so good, not to mention the use of US-made Sidewinder missiles, even with Chinese-made missiles, they can shoot down the opponent!

A puff of thick smoke rose from under the wing, and a Sidewinder missile, dragging its tongue of flame, left the launch pad.

At this time, Hidali completed another [-]-degree turn. He raised his head and saw the trace left by the flying missile in the sky from the side.

The Iranians are hiding in high places!However, I have been attacked!

Being attacked by close-range combat missiles is no fun. Hidari knew that only a few seconds were left for him. What's more terrible was that when he was looking for the other party just now, he kept going Maneuvering consumes precious energy, and now he has neither a speed advantage nor a height advantage.

If you pull it up, the speed will become slower and slower, and it is even more of an act of courting death.

Is that how you get hit?No, never give up!From the side view, Hidali saw the fire in the valley ahead, which was the fire that burned when the Iranian J-[-] fighter plane crashed just now.

Dive!Dive down and fly towards the fire!As soon as Hidali pushed the control lever, the fighter plane began to dive downward. The pointer on the altimeter was still turning back from the position indicated by the low altitude. The warning device had already started to sound. He would crash into the ground at any moment .

This is not a plain, let alone a desert, but a mountainous area. It cannot be out of danger if it can be leveled in time, and it must be pulled up!
