Chapter 180 Close Combat

As soon as Mahmoud looked up, he saw the missile flying from afar. He was shocked and immediately turned on the extra force and climbed up vertically. At the same time, he let the radar operator in the rear cabin start to release infrared interference bombs.

Mahmoud made a serious and fatal mistake. He should not turn on the afterburner, which would lead to a significant increase in infrared characteristics. Moreover, he used a vertical climbing maneuver, which fully exposed his tail to the incoming missiles.[]

Because Mahmoud used the method of getting rid of Soviet air-to-air missiles, the solid engine of the Soviet missile was not upright. As long as it climbed up vertically, the kinetic energy of the incoming missile would be quickly lost. As long as he did a few maneuvering movements up and down, he could consume the kinetic energy of the missile completely.

But, he failed.

Just when he started climbing, the missile was already chasing him.

The Matra 530 medium-range air-to-air missile uses an x-band radar near-explosion fuze. When the missile is 2 to 20m away from the target, it can be directly detonated or detonated by an ignition delay device. The continuous rod warhead used in infrared missiles has a total weight of 30kg, a theoretical radius of 10.5m, and the actual maximum diameter when the continuous rod is expanded. Therefore, when the off-target volume is not more than 8m, the efficiency is best, and the explosion is not the closer the better. When the distance is appropriate, the exploded connecting rod will make many holes in the aircraft, with the best effect.

This missile accurately drilled into an engine of the F-14 before it exploded, with some delay.

Mahmud felt the plane tremble, and then many red lights on the instrument panel began to alarm, the left engine failed, the hydraulic oil began to leak, and the situation was critical.

The radar operator in the rear cabin immediately turned on the fire-extinguishing switch nervously, trying to turn off the engine of the left engine and then extinguish the fire.

The plane began to decelerate.

Mahmoud is trying hard to control the plane, hoping to drive the tomcat back. Even if it cannot fly into the sky, it is good to donate it as an organ.

Phantom F1 created a miracle in today's air battle, and actually achieved the record of shooting down one aircraft and injuring two aircraft. However, Phantom F1's good luck came to an abrupt end.

Ziaz would not make the same mistake. When he passed by the opponent's fighter, he wanted to press the operating rod and knock the opponent down.

After both sides crossed, they began to pull the rod and rudder, turning around, and whoever completed the rotation first would have the advantage in the subsequent battle.

However, Ziaz will not give the other party a chance.

The Tomcat's wings became the minimum sweep angle, and at the same time, the right wing tilted downwards, and then the rudder moved to the right, and the huge fighter made a beautiful turn in the air.

At this time, the two Phantom F1s had just turned ninety degrees, and this is the gap!

Ziaz pressed his thumb on the launch button on the operating rod without hesitation.

A rattlesnake missile, emitting thick smoke, pounced on one of the Phantom F1s.

The cockpit of the Phantom F1 is still an old-fashioned hinged cabin cover that opens upwards, and the front windshield is a traditional three-piece structure. As the design of a light fighter and the fuselage structure inherited from Phantom 3, the cockpit space of the Phantom F1 is not spacious and relatively small. Compared with the American fighter sitting in the bubble cockpit, the cockpit vision also has certain problems. The forward vision is not big, and it is quite OK. However, the view on the side and rear is relatively narrow, especially when the pilot is still making a large overload turn, so he has no time to take into account the situation behind.

Amy didn't know that a missile flew from behind him. He was overwhelmed by a high force and was still doing a slewing movement. After turning back, he went around the other party and launched a magic air-to-air missile under the wing. Everything was like during normal training. He hit the Iranian tomcat several times just now, and a confident mood arose in his heart.

He didn't notice it, but the chief aircraft Hamad saw it. He was surprised to see a missile flying towards the wingman and immediately shouted in the radio: "Note, at nine o'clock, the missile is coming!"

Then, in his vision, there was a fireball.

The distance was too close, and before Amy could react, she was hit by the Rattlesnake missile, igniting the fuel and causing a volley to explode.

Amy didn't even have a chance to jump.

The Rattlesnake missile is a short-range air-to-air missile produced by the United States. It is equipped with a large number of pro-US air forces. During the Bavire Dynasty in Iran, a large number of Rattlesnake missiles were purchased.

The normal air-optimal loading of the F-14 is to mount four long-range Immortal missiles under the belly of the aircraft, two Sparrow medium-range air-to-air missiles and two short-range rattlesnake missiles under the wings. Due to the lack of Immortal birds, the four F-14s this time only mount four Sparrows and two rattlesnake missiles.

After Ziaz used the Rattlesnake to capture an Iraqi Phantom, he immediately connected another missile and prepared to fight the remaining Phantom.

In close combat, the Tomcats have an unparalleled advantage.

Hamad already knew that the other party was faster than his hovering speed, so it was stupid to compare horizontal hovering with the other party. At the same time, since the other party had two engines, the climbing ability was not comparable to that of him. Then, his only advantage was to enter a low altitude and perhaps there was a possibility of shooting down the other party.

Unlike Phantom 3, which uses a triangular wing and focuses on high-altitude and high-speed, Phantom F1 adopts a normal aerodynamic layout, and its agility in the medium and low altitude is greatly enhanced. Fighting against the opponent in the airspace where he is best at is this the only opportunity.

However, this is only relative, because the tomcats with computer-controlled variable sweep wings have excellent performance in various airspaces.

Now, Hamad is also within the opponent's attack range and must get rid of the opponent as soon as possible.

Hamadella rod pedals, maintaining a sliding angle, and dives to a low altitude while performing S-type maneuvers.

Although you have the advantage of good mobility at low altitude, in air combat, the remaining energy is very critical. After entering low altitude, the advantage of height is lost. If the speed is lost, it will be not far from being shot down.

The disadvantages of the Phantom F1's cockpit are reflected again, with a narrow field of vision and external perception. If he can only see backwards whether the fighter is chasing him every time he turns.

Ziaz was indeed chasing him. With his good maneuverability, he had successfully entered the other side's back hemisphere. The off-axis launch angle of the Rattlesnake missile was only more than twenty degrees. Because the Phantom in front was constantly performing S-type maneuvers, he could not get the opportunity to launch the missile.

If you don't believe it, you won't make any mistakes! Ziaz stared at the phantom in front of him. The other party always started turning in time and then turned around. Even if it lasted a little longer, he could use the Tomcat's better horizontal hovering performance to obtain the launch time.

ps: Thank you for your old friend Fascist for your reward!
