Chapter 154 Two Phoenixes
The eagle requested to take off? Through the glass of the command tower, Mhamad looked at the Tomcat fighter jet on the runway, feeling it was unreliable. They had just landed and were still in a transitional flight. They didn't have any missiles. How to fight?
"Eagle, mount status." Aarslan asked.
"Two Immortal Missiles," Rick said: "The Eagle requests to intercept."
"Can take off," said Arslan.
Putting down the radio, Alsko looked at Mhamad and said, "If you want to intercept the MiG-25, only the Tomcat fighter and the Immortal Missile."
Mhamad understood Arslan's meaning. He sent two F-16 fighter jets, but the interception effect would not be too good. Maybe it was symbolic. The altitude of 24,000 is not something they could reach. The aspir-9l fighting bullet could not fly up from a height of 20,000 meters.
The only way to let the Tomcat fighter plane go up and try it. Now what Arslan is worried about is whether the Immortal Missile that was quickly mounted on it can truly exert its power.
Old Arslan is the trump card of machine gun air combat. He has not escaped from the ever-changing development of air tactics. After he arrived in the United States, he studied the concept of US air combat and watched the airborne weapons develop in a more modern direction.
"The invading enemy plane has accelerated." The radar soldiers kept reporting.
The MiG-25 can indeed fly to three times the speed of sound, but unlike the sr-71 Blackbird, the sr-71 can fly for a long time at three times the speed of sound, while the MiG-25 can only reach this speed after turning on the afterburner. In this case, its flight time will not be too long, up to three minutes, otherwise excessive afterburner will cause the engine to be scrapped.
After invading Pakistani airspace, the MiG-25 began to accelerate, so that it would quickly cross Pakistani airspace and then take a large arc from the north and fly back.
Verma stared at his navigation system and had just flew past a Pakistani air force base. He took some photos with his camera. Then, Islamabad in front, and then he flew forward, Peshawar. Fighting planes flying at three times the speed of sound, it took only a few minutes to fly over these distances.
At the same time, the front radar of the MiG-25 is turned on and scans the airspace in front. Although its height is very safe, you still need to understand the surrounding airspace.
The power of the MiG-25 radar is abnormally powerful, and even rumored to Western reporters, saying that the MiG-25 radar can roast rabbits a kilometer away. However, in fact, this kind of radar is relatively backward and relies entirely on increasing power to achieve detection distance. Moreover, a lot of power is used on electronic tubes.
In terms of detection accuracy, tracking ability, medium-range missile guidance, etc., it has a relatively obvious gap with Western radars. To put it into consideration, it is that it has a long detection distance, is not easy to be disturbed, is cheap, and has low technical difficulty.
When the radar was turned on, he discovered the Peshawar Air Force Base in western Islamabad, and took off two fighter planes. He suddenly became nervous.
The radar on the Indian border cannot detect such a long distance. He relies entirely on his own discovery, and the two fighter jets must have come to him.
The other party was climbing high quickly, but when it reached 18,000 meters, there was no more energy.
No fighter can fly to 24,000 meters! The Pakistani are powerless to intercept themselves! Verma breathed a sigh of relief and continued to fly westward. When he flew to the Peshawar Air Force Base, he would turn north from there.
Wait, another fighter plane took off! Watching the climb of the fighter plane, it seemed much faster than the two just now.
"Jackson, the radar is turned on and ready to launch the Immortal Bird." Rick listened to the guidance of the ground personnel, and just left the runway, he dropped the empty auxiliary fuel tank. At the same time, the fuel in the aircraft also consumed a lot of money due to long-distance flights. As the fighter became lighter, the two TF-30 engines exploded with the maximum afterburner thrust, pushing the F-14 fighter to climb high and occupy the place quickly.
Jackson's body was pressed tightly on the seat. He felt a little uncomfortable because he did not have a resistant suit. He was already very uncomfortable when he was flying for a long distance. Now, he suppressed the feeling of vomiting and operated the radar.
The awg-9 radar begins to power on, and at the same time changes the mode to scan while tracking. Through the flat-slit radar antenna, electromagnetic waves are shot out forward.
It hit the MiG-25 at a high altitude, then the echo returned to the radar antenna, and through calculation, it appeared on the radar screen.
The distance is thirty, the height is 24,000, ready to lock!
At an altitude of 16,000 meters, Rick leveled the plane and provided a stable platform for the launch of Immortal missiles. This is the maximum limit for Immortal launch.
At the same time, the radar of the MiG-25 on the opposite side discovered the third fighter jet. It flew to an altitude of 16,000 and was leveled. The altitude difference was 8,000, and it was even more impossible to intercept itself. This must be an old J-6 fighter jet!
The huge rectangular air intake ducts on both sides constantly suck in air and flow into the engine behind, mixed with fuel combustion, turning into a hot airflow, rushing out from the tail, pushing the fighter to fly quickly in high altitude. In just one minute, you can fly to the Peshawar Air Force Base, take photos, and your mission is over.
The Tomcat fighter continued to fly flat, and Jackson in the rear cabin was constantly operating the knobs. The electronic system of the Immortal Missile had been started and entered the launch program at any time.
Locking the target and transmitting data to the Immortal Missile. Now that the distance is so close, the semi-active guidance process in the middle can be ignored. After launching and climbing up, the active radar can be turned on.
Jackson had completed all the preparations before launch, but when he pressed the launch button, no vibration came from the belly of the aircraft, and at the same time, he did not see the missile launching and flying forward.
"Missile failure," Jackson said: "Not launched."
"Damn it! Get another one!" Rick in front couldn't help but shout.
It has nothing to do with me. After the bumps of a long-distance flight, it must be re-tested to confirm that it is normal. These two missiles were taken off without detection. This is very dangerous. For example, now this missile may be unconsciously launched at any time.
Despite this, Jackson still turned to another missile, and at this time, the target signal on the radar screen had disappeared.
The attack failed! Looking at the signals on the radar screen, the two sides had already flew head-on. Due to the much difference in altitude, they had not even had time to see each other and had already flew over.
"Missile failure," said Arslan. "Guide them and prepare for the next interception."
"The target began to turn," said the radar guide: "Does our fighter planes guide us?"
"Guide the eagle to continue flying eastward." Arslan said: "Keep paying attention to the direction of the target."
Mhamad nodded. As he was his judgment, the target flew from the east and flew all the way to the Peshawar Military Region. When they flew again, they entered Afghan airspace. So, if they wanted to go back, they had to circle a big circle in the north and then return.
Our own fighter planes cannot fly so fast, and they can wait for the other side to return on the route.
Verma turned off the afterburner and now entered the western part of Pakistan. He gently pushed the operating rod to the right and pushed the rudder on the right. Although the speed has begun to drop, it is still more than two Machs. It takes nearly 10,000 meters of steering radius to turn a corner. At the same time, this time can also allow the engine to rest. Afterburning has just been burned for nearly three minutes.
At this altitude, the surroundings are the same. After a long period of flight, you will lack the perception of your surroundings as you are in the water, and you will even not know whether you are flying in a straight or backward. This is the terrible flight illusion.
He completely believed in his instrument! When the slope was turned, looking at the horizon in front of him, Verma knew that he still had a slope. He leveled the plane and re-oriented the course.
Afterburning will consume a lot of fuel. Looking at the fuel gauge in front, he estimated in his mind that if he returns from here and continues to turn on the afterburning, the fuel will be enough to fly back to the base. Although the Pakistan Air Force did not organize effective interception until the return, he must not be careless.
After continuing to fly for a minute and recovering the engine at the tail, he turned on the afterburner again.
After turning on the radar again, he found another fighter plane flying eastward at an altitude of 16,000 meters. It seemed that after a turn, the other party lost control of his whereabouts.
Verma was complacent. When he turned on the extra force, he would fly quickly over the other party's head. At most, the other party would find himself. However, the other party had no response at all. His speed was too fast, faster than their missiles, and it was even more impossible to catch up with him.
"Eagle, thirty seconds later, the target appears over your plane." Listening to the voice of the ground guide from the headphones, Rick calmed down his mood.
At the same time, Jackson in the rear cabin is re-opening the radar.
Due to the difference in altitude of 8,000, even if the opponent flies over his head, the radar antenna's elevation angle is limited, it is impossible to immediately discover it. It must be detected after flying over his head for thousands of meters.
Rick flew smoothly, looking up at the sky from time to time, hoping to see the fighter planes above his head eight thousand meters.
He had already flew over Islamabad and continued to fly westward. Finally, Jackson's voice came from the rear cabin: "The radar intercepts the target, tracks and scans, and prepares to launch the Immortal Bird!"
This time, you must not let the other party run away again! Jackson remembered the 200,000 dollar bonus and was full of energy. He refrigerated the electronic system of the Immortal Bird, input data, and prepare to launch! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
