Chapter 177: Data Link Advantages
"Enemy attack, alarm, note, this is not an exercise." At the Basra Airport in the rear, it was already a state of tension before the war.
Emergency information from the front, the 115 Mirage Fighter Squadron, who was in the cruise mission, encountered a large Iranian aircraft fleet, and what was the critical situation? []
What is even more dangerous is Abadan's safety. A huge refinery, as long as a bomb is hit, it will turn into ruins in the fire.
The first one to be launched were four Phantom F1s of the 11th Fighter Squadron. The squadron leader Adnan was ordered to go to the United States to modify the F-20 in advance, and Hamad was promoted to the squadron leader of the 115th Fighter Squadron. This squadron was served by Phoebeer pilot, the original wingman pilot.
When they learned that their brothers and the Iranians had encountered the aircraft fleet, they were very anxious and immediately drove the plane into the air.
Since the Southern Military Region has improved its combat readiness level, their squadron has always been fully equipped with full oil and air-optimal, Matra 530 missiles, Magic Air-to-air missiles, and the configurations of the 115th squadron.
The third Phantom F1 squadron was unable to participate in the launch operation because it was under maintenance of the hangar.
Following the Phantom F1 is the MiG-23 of two squadrons led by Arslan. Their fighters are also air-optimized, but they carry short-range R-60 air-to-air missiles, each with four.
Because the performance of the mid-range R-23 is too backward, since the Phantom F1 entered the Southern Military Region, all the tasks of over-visual air combat have been handed over to Phantom F1. MiG-23 is just a supporting role in air combat. Although Arslan is dissatisfied, there is no way. However, after the F-20 is equipped with the troops, MiG-23 will be eliminated as a special ground attack aircraft.
At this time, Zhang Feng's special plane landed at Basra Airport in Iraq, only two hours.
In other words, Arslan also got off the plane and rushed to his own fighter plane to prepare for the fight. The young man was also excited that he could fight against the Iranians.
Zhang Feng, on the other hand, began to get busy in the combat command hall.
Just as 1981 was about to pass, the Iranian counterattack began with their most advantageous sky.
At this time, the most dangerous thing is the 115 fighter squadron in the sky.
Even the F-14 radar that claims to guide multiple missiles to attack multiple targets at the same time can only attack one target at the same time in actual combat. If more advanced electronic equipment can be used in later generations, Hamad's squadron may be able to persist for a while. However, now they face enemy aircraft that are several times more than theirs, no one can be happy, except for the exception of Arslan, who has always wanted to fight.
However, they had no choice.
"The target is locked in the enemy plane at the forefront." Hamad still assigned combat targets.
On the radar screen, the opponent's fighter jets are all highlights. It is impossible to tell which air-optimal fighter jets or which one is performing ground bombing missions. The only way is to launch a few more missiles before the opponent arrives.
What they locked in was the F-14 Tomcat fighter squadron at the forefront.
Just as they locked each other, the sound of being locked came from their plane.
When Amy heard the locked sound, she felt nervous. In the sky, being locked by the other party, which means that she might be destroyed by the other party.
Hamad had no expression, and he calmly ordered: "Start!"
Suddenly, a missile and the engine emitted flames under the wings, successfully leaving the launcher and began the process of accelerating flight.
Locked by the enemy's radar more than once, Ziaz ordered: "The two aircraft formations were dispersed, maneuvered and prepared to launch the Sparrow missile."
Suddenly, the four-machine formation was dispersed into two dual-machine formations, rolling sideways to both sides at the same time. The variable sweep wing was automatically adjusted to the smallest sweep angle by the computer.
Side rolling is a very effective method to get rid of the opponent's lock. According to the principle of pulse Doppler, any perpendicular to the radar beam and the direction of flight will be filtered out by the radar. Therefore, as long as the angle is appropriate, it can disappear on the opponent's radar screen, causing the opponent to temporarily lose his information. Even if it is only lost for a second, the missile that has been launched will become a targetless missile and eventually destroy itself.
The powerful F-14 Tomcats are showing off their stunts. They have not been so happy in front of the Iraqi Air Force for a long time.
After they were locked, they could fire the Sparrow missile, but they were also locked by the other party, so the first thing they did was to get rid of the other party's lock and then destroy the other party.
Otherwise, it would be like two people standing on the ground and throwing bricks at each other at the same time. That kind of fighting style is too boring.
Moreover, if both sides launch missiles at the same time, even a one-to-one exchange ratio is undeserved. Tomcat fighter jets are too precious.
Therefore, they must protect these fighter jets, not to mention that they are familiar with the road. They are the best pilots who have experienced countless air battles.
However, the mature skill that f-14 relies on to get rid of locking is a complete suicide in front of Phantom F1.
Because Phantom f1 has a data link installed.
Four Phantom F1s will have four radar orientations. No matter how the Tomcat rolls sideways, it can only disappear on one radar screen at most. However, the other three radar screens still have their original shapes.
The radars of the four Phantom F1s have been turned on, using data links to continuously transmit the position of the Tomcats, and at the same time, guide the Matra 530 missile that has just been launched.
When I completed the two side rolls, the sound of being locked by the other party was still in my ears. After locking the other party just now, I rolled sideways first, and I lost the opportunity to launch the sparrow.
Oh no! Ziaz remembered the No. 472 Tomcat fighter, but after completing the side roll, he still did not get rid of the opponent's lock. This time he miscalculated!
The other party must have a new radar! The other party's fighter is definitely not the Soviet MiG-type fighter he is familiar with, but a new type of fighter, is it the newly imported French Mirage fighter from Iraq, or the recently rumored American F-20?
He no longer has time to think about this.
"The missile is flying over." The weapon operator in the rear cabin said nervously: "It is expected to arrive in fifteen seconds!"
"Distribute and maneuver each to get rid of the opponent's missiles." Ziaz ordered in the radio. At the same time, he opened the afterburner chamber, pulled up the nose suddenly, and said to the weapon operator in the back compartment: "Release the platinum bar interference."
