The MiG-29 fighter jet is equipped with an omnidirectional jǐng flute-3 radar warning receiver. After the sound of the radar warning receiver came from the headset, the pilot of the MiG-29 was completely speechless. He had already judged that In this case, even if the other party finds them, they will not be able to lock themselves at all. For example, the most advanced Soviet fighter jet he is driving is like this. If the positions of the two sides are exchanged, his radar can find the other party That's fine.

He had originally thought about taking advantage of his side's concealment in the low altitude of the mountainous area, firing missiles, killing the opponent silently, and then sneaking back from the mountainous area immediately.

Who knew, the opponent launched a missile!

In air combat, whoever launches the missile first means that whoever has gained an absolute advantage, because in order to avoid the fate of being shot down, the other side can only choose to maneuver.

"Release the platinum stripe interference and lower the altitude." The lead pilot of the MiG-29 firmly used this method in an instant. Come out, now, it may be that I am flying a little high, so I will lower my altitude a little more!

The lead pilot of the MiG-29 made a correct approach in a critical situation, because, as usual, if he uses a snake-like maneuver to cause a temporary disappearance on the opponent's radar screen, it will not necessarily work. , As early as when the Iraqi Air Force used the Phantom F1, it cracked this trick through the transmission of the data link.

Although in fact at low altitudes, the radar of Iraq's Mirage 4000 fighters can still filter them out of the clutter on the ground, but if the opponent descends to a very low altitude, the Mirage 4000's radar may still be unlocked, for example , the other party drilled into the valley, and the electromagnetic signal propagating in a straight line was completely blocked by the mountains on both sides!

It's just that getting into the valley requires superb technology. Old-fashioned propeller planes are okay, but fast jet planes are a great test for pilots.

As a front-line fighter, the MiG-29 fighter does not use the latest telex operation system, but the old-fashioned hydraulic operation. However, the control system is equipped with a relatively advanced CⅡY-451 automatic control system. On this kind of statically unstable aircraft, it can be controlled without telex operation, (it was not until the later MiG-29M that it was replaced with telex operation, so the military industry of the Red Empire Soviet Union, that is really Insanely powerful).Moreover, due to the reasonable aerodynamic layout and high-power engine, this fighter is very flexible.

As the latest Soviet fighter jets that have just entered service for two years, those who can fly this kind of aircraft are the elite pilots of the Soviet Air Force. This is the case with these two MiG-29 pilots. The pilot lowered the altitude again, and the anti-collision lights on the dashboard had long been on. They were still fearless, watching the mountains outside the cabin.

Although it did not adopt ergonomics, the bubble-style cockpit of the MiG-29 still brought a sense of openness that Soviet pilots had never had before. They relied on their skilled technology to shuttle through mountains and rivers.

The radar warning receiver in the headset is still ringing. Until now, Soviet pilots already know that the information in the latest textbooks they have received is wrong. In this case, the opponent’s airborne radar , can lock themselves!

This shows that their airborne radar has a very powerful ability to process data from ground clutter!You know, what they are facing is not the powerful U.S. Air Force, but the Iraqi Air Force, which is at most second-rate!

The current Soviet pilots have no time to scold those intelligence collectors. What they need now is how to avoid the two damn missiles that were shot at them. It doesn’t matter if they are shot down. Some can't make it through.

What should we do now?pull up?I'm afraid there is no time. Pulling it up now will give the opponent's fighter plane a stronger radar reflection signal, giving them a better chance to shoot down themselves.

Fight!The lead pilot of the MiG-29 saw the valley in front of him, and he pressed the control lever down again. This was the last valley, and he went out to the plain.

bring it on!The pilot of the MiG-29 got in with a fearless spirit.

With his eyes fixed on the front, the operating lever in his hand and the rudder under his feet seemed to have merged with them. This is a dance with death!In the valley, their fighter planes, like light swifts, were flying almost close to the ground.

Reyel cursed in his heart, and at the same time admired his opponent. In order to avoid the opponent's missiles and use the terrain, they actually lowered to such a height!Then, due to the blocking of the mountain peak, he lost the opponent's trace, and the launched Super Matra 530 missile was also released from the lock because of the loss of the target.

After losing the target, the two missiles flew for more than ten seconds and chose to explode in the air. This attack failed.

Reyer looked at the radar screen vigilantly with the corner of his eyes. When the opponent finally disappeared, the distance between the two sides was already close to [-] kilometers. At this distance, for a fast-flying fighter, it will soon be Come within sight.

The pilots of the MiG-29 were concentrating on fighting death from the valley, and they were relieved until the sound in the radar warning receiver disappeared.

The series of actions just now caused the MiG-29 to consume a lot of fuel. If they don't return now, their fuel may not be enough.

This is also the sadness of front-line fighters. The Soviet Union's MiG-29 and Su-27 correspond to the American F-16 and F-15. The F-15, a low-cost fighter, was chosen because it could not be equipped with a large amount of equipment. The MiG-16 and Su-29 of the Soviet Union were due to the problem of the Soviet air defense concept. The current MiG-27 and MiG-15 are almost all small and flexible, but they have a short time in the air and a short range.The Sukhoi Design Bureau is responsible for the design of homeland air defense fighters and medium- and long-range ground support combat aircraft, such as the Su-21 that shot down the Boeing 727 in two interception missions. MiGs are often exported, while almost all Su-type aircraft are for domestic use. of.Since MiG's front-line fighters are generally based on front-line airports with poor conditions, they perform short- and medium-range air superiority combat missions and take into account ground support.Therefore, compared with the Sukhoi fighter model of the same period, the MiG fighter is generally lighter and smaller, so the range is short. When it comes to the MiG-15, this difference still exists.

The advanced MiG-29 takes off at the front-line field airport with 6 air-to-air missiles and a belly auxiliary fuel tank, and performs escort missions to protect bomber and attack aircraft formations and provide a combat radius of 230 kilometers.If it only carries two medium-range and short-range air-to-air missiles, and at an appropriate speed, the combat radius of the MiG-29 is only about [-] kilometers, and it is called "airport guardian" by the West.

Now, before the pilots of the MiG-29 fighters start to fight back, they have to consider whether they need to return.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he had already flown out of the mountains!

Just after relaxing, the two Soviet pilots habitually scanned the entire airspace with their eyes, and found the two bright spots in the distance, which were the Iraqis who attacked them!

"Switch to the short-range mode and prepare the R-73 short-range missile." The lead pilot of the MiG-29 said, now that they have found each other, let them try their own strength!

Soviet pilots are very confident that using this air-to-air missile that was in service in 82 that can be locked by a helmet sight, they can completely defeat any opponent in the sky!

MiG-29, as a cross-era fighter of the Soviet Union, in addition to the advanced aerodynamic layout, has another aspect, that is, it creatively introduces a new missile locking method. In addition to using radar, it can also use S- 31E2 photodetector and ZSh-3UM helmet sight.

Soviet engineers were also very creative. The helmet sight of the MiG-29 is the most distinctive part of the entire fire control system.Cooperating with the R-73 close-range combat air-to-air missile, the MiG-29 can occupy a favorable position in close-range combat. The 'helmet' sight is to determine the observation line of the target through the helmet observation device when the target is visible, and guide the radar, EOS and missile infrared seeker to quickly intercept the target.After visually spotting the target, the pilot turns his head, aligns the observation marker with the spotted target, and presses the enter button on the throttle grip.The cockpit is equipped with sensors to measure the rotation of the pilot's head and helmet observation device. The onboard computer converts the information input from it and provides it to the EOS, radar and missile infrared seeker for target indication.

Simply put, it is where you can see and where you can hit!

Chapter 575 Fighting Again

Use the helmet sight to increase the R-73 missile launched off-axis. These new guys who have been equipped with the Soviet Air Force for less than two years, the Soviet pilots are very confident, coupled with the advanced maneuverability of their fighters and their own skilled flying Action, fully capable of knocking down the opponent!

At this time, Qusay has already arrived at the Ministry of National Defense. Through the synchronous information of the early warning aircraft sent by the C3I system, he is paying attention to the specific situation of the air battle. If the Soviet fighter plane is shot down, then he has to do the aftermath. Do.

It's very simple. Although he knew that the top level of the Soviet Union was about to start to be in turmoil, the Soviet Union was still strong. Iraq killed their fighter planes, which would arouse the Soviet Union's anger. The next thing Iraq needs to do is to find the wreckage of the plane. In Khorasan, then, inform the Soviet Union that I am very sorry this time, because your pilot lost his way and entered our airspace by mistake. Due to various reasons, our pilot shot you down by mistake. Looking at the crash point, It is already nearly [-] kilometers away from the border line. This shows that it is mainly caused by the opponent's mistakes. In this way, the Soviets can't tell the pain and lose their backbone, but they have saved their face. I'm afraid they have to admit that they are He made a mistake and the pilot got lost.

Will they therefore aggressively attack eastern Iran?Qu Sai does not believe that although the current Soviet defense minister is very tough, the supreme leader of the Soviet Union has been replaced by Konstantin Ustinovich Chernenko, the health of this old man in his 70s The situation is also very poor. During his tenure as the general secretary for more than a year, he spent most of his time in the hospital. It is good that such a person can maintain the situation in the Soviet Union. Let him agree to launch a large-scale In a risky war, he probably doesn't have that kind of courage.

Today is already February 2th. If I remember correctly, General Secretary Andropov will die in the hospital due to severe kidney disease on February 8th. Since then, his efforts to save the Soviet Union have all been shattered.

For Andropov, Qusay also has a pity in later generations. If he hadn't passed away prematurely, the Soviet Union might have changed completely, because Andropov's reforms are very similar to that great man in China , step-by-step reforms are the most in line with the Soviet model. Gorbachev is also reforming, but his reforms have been proved by later generations to be unacceptable. He actually gave up the leadership of the party and allowed a multi-party system. What kind of mínzhǔ did he do by himself, he became the president of the Soviet Union, and finally brought the Soviet Union down.

However, these have nothing to do with Qusay. He is just a spectator. What he needs is to maximize the interests of Iraq. Therefore, from now on, the relationship with Gorbachev should be more cordial.

Now, the battle in the sky has entangled the hearts of many people, including the top Soviet leaders who are anxiously waiting in Moscow for emergency rescue of the General Secretary.

Just half an hour ago, General Secretary Andropov's kidney disease suddenly showed signs of deterioration, and he was rushed to the hospital where he was being treated by the best doctors in the Soviet Union.

Originally, Ustinov wanted to test the air defense in eastern Iran by ordering MiG-29 fighters to fly across the border. If they were attacked, he would have a valid reason. However, at this most critical moment, The general secretary's physical condition suddenly became very pessimistic.

There was no general secretary to make a decision, and the opinions of the people below were not unified. Even if Ustinov himself wanted to launch this attack again, he would not have the courage.

Because, this is not something he can decide on his own.

Gorbachev is also more impatient. Up to now, he has been regarded as one of the most trusted people by Andropov. While he is consolidating his position, General Secretary Andropov is his biggest But now, if this support disappears, his ideal may be far away.

"Report, our fighter jets were attacked by Iraqi Air Force fighter jets in the northern part of Khorasan." At this time, a staff officer hurried in and reported to Ustinov, his voice was very low.

Encounter with Iraqis' warplanes?At this time, Ustinov was not lucky, but he was a little bit overwhelmed. How to deal with this matter?If one's own fighter plane shoots down the opponent, it's okay to say, what should one do if one's own fighter plane is shot down?Ground forces use this as an excuse to attack?Without the General Secretary's decision, he could not issue such an order.

Damn, when did the Iraqi air force become so powerful?The two fighter planes of our side drilled in from the mountains, how could they be discovered by the other side?

While the rear was still thinking about how to solve it, the battle on the front line was still going on intensely.

In Reyel's field of vision, he also found two Soviet planes flying from the mountains. At this time, the distance between the two sides was rapidly approaching, and he could already see the other plane clearly. It was a twin-engine The shape of the double vertical tail fighter is different from any Soviet aircraft he is familiar with. The biggest difference is the two rectangular air intakes on the abdomen, and the fuselage seems to be the air intake and engine riding underneath. Moreover, he couldn't tell where was the fuselage and where was the wing, and they had naturally merged into one.

This is one of the newest fighter jets from the Soviet Union!There was excitement in Reyer's heart. As a pilot, as a talented Iraqi pilot, Reyer was eager to fight, eager to fight with the most powerful enemy. The Iranian Air Force had almost collapsed, and Reyer thought that he had no chance to compete with the F- 14 The most powerful enemy of this level is engaged in air combat, who knows, when he is performing this kind of no-fly zone mission today, he is given a new chance!From the appearance, he knew that this kind of fighter must be difficult to deal with.

The Soviets flew here this time, not the MiG-21, MiG-23, nor the more advanced MiG-25. These fighters are equipped in the Iraqi Air Force. Although they are shrunk, Reyel also knows that these fighters are xìng The advantages and disadvantages of performance, his Mirage 4000 is far superior to these fighters from long-range interception to short-range combat. This time, it is a model he has never seen before, which has inspired his fighting spirit even more. For the interests of Iraq, no matter what the enemy is, the United States or the Soviet Union, the Iraqi Air Force is fearless!

Reyel mustered his strength and began to prepare for close combat.

At the same time, the pilots of the Soviet Air Force were also looking at the two fighter planes in the distance. There was some contempt in their eyes. The layout of the delta wing was the style of the French Dassault company at first glance. This layout has great advantages , the shortcomings are also obvious, they firmly believe that their fighters will definitely defeat them in close combat.

The first head-to-head confrontation between the heroic Iraqi Air Force and the Air Force of the Red Empire has finally begun.

Both sides are looking at each other, and at the same time, they are also preparing for the exchange of fire.

The distance between the two sides is rapidly shrinking.

"Choose the helmet to aim." The lead pilot of the MiG-29 ordered. The medium-range air-to-air missile fired by the opponent just now made them feel embarrassed. Now, it's time for the bold Iraqis to taste their own power!
