Chapter 357: Originally born from the same root

Four F-5 Tiger fighters from the Iranian Air Force took off from the rear airport, and their mission was to bomb the annoying Iraqi armored force besieging Port Khomeini.

However, because of the tense war, the Iranian air force could not produce any advanced fighter jets, and only sent F-5s from the second-tier airport to come.

f-5ef  The "Tiger" fighter was the main aircraft used by the United States to dump arms on its third world allies in the 1970s. Because the aircraft has experienced practical tests and inherited the characteristics of the previous generation of F-5ab "Freedom Warrior" fighter, it was sold to 21 countries and regions around the world within 10 years after its launch. In international arms transactions, the three models of French "Phantom" iii, Soviet MiG-21 and F-5ef have formed a situation of the alliance.

As a former ally of the United States, Iran also equipped a large number of Tiger fighters for use in second-tier troops.

During combat, Iran often dispatched F-4 fighters, but with the consumption of combat, fewer and fewer takeoffs can be taken off. The Tomcat was reluctant to use it, so it had to re-activate the F-5 Tiger fighter for low-intensity combat.

For example, now, the Iraqi Air Force rarely flew down the front line. These days, its own fighter jets have basically not taken off. The sky above the Port of Khomeini is now very clean, and the Iraqi alert must have been put to the lowest level.

Therefore, at this time, they chose to attack the Iraqi army that besieged Port Khomeini from the sea that Iraqis did not notice the most. Even if they only exploded a few tanks, they could boost the morale of the defenders of Port Khomeini.

Moreover, it is said that this armored division in Iraq has self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, so after entering the Port of Khomeini from the sea, they will directly penetrate at low altitude, and will have a high success rate.

They didn't know that, very coincidentally, the Iraqi Air Force also chose to attack ships in the port of Khomeini today.

The one responsible for providing cover was the newly purchased F-20 fighter jets from the Iraqi Air Force. These fighters and F-5s were both from Northrop, and they can be said to be brothers.

However, no one expected that the first victory of the F-20 would be its prototype, the F-5 fighter, and even later, even Northroe thought it was too ironic.

However, the warriors in the air did not have time to think about so much. At this time, the distance between the two sides was 80 kilometers. At this distance, the radar of the f-5 did not find f-20 at all.

Discover first, attack first!

Although it is equipped with Sparrow Air-to-air missiles, the United States exported the F-20 to Iraq with the F-20, which is not the latest model in the Sparrow family. It has just started to be in service this year and has been in service in later generations. This type of missile is equipped with a new reverse single-pulse seeker, radio near-fighting fuze, and digital control circuit. In addition, the missile body has also been streamlined to reduce air resistance, and its performance has been greatly improved.

Moreover, it did not start to serve the Aim-7f missile in 1976. Its power section is equipped with a new two-stage thrust engine, which increases the range and improves electronic components.

The sold to Iraq is just the same Aim-7e-4 medium-range air-to-air missile that is owned by the Iranian Air Force. Its predecessor was the Aim-7e with a hit rate of less than 10% in the Vietnam War. It was just a small-scale modification and upgrade. It can be said that this missile was replaced by the US Air Force arsenal.

However, Zhang Feng did not intend to use this kind of missile for a long time. The reason why he required the opening of weapons interfaces was to be able to carry legal missiles. Zhang Feng's longer-term plan was to jointly develop an active radar-guided air-to-air missile with a certain country.

In the current sky, medium-range air-to-air missiles are still semi-active radar-guided. The so-called semi-active means that the missile's radar is only a function of reception, and the one that emits electromagnetic waves is the radar of the carrier aircraft. Therefore, after launching the missile, the carrier aircraft needs to always illuminate the target to provide electromagnetic signals for the missile and cannot do maneuver. Active radar guidance refers to the antenna inside the missile seeker, which can be received and launched. Although limited by the diameter of the missile, the launch power cannot be large, and the distance of autonomous guidance is only about twenty kilometers, it is already a world of difference.

Sweden's "Active Skylight Flash" missile!

Since it is a low-cost aircraft, although Iran's F-5 fighter is also equipped with radar alarm receivers, it is not omnidirectional, and only antennas are arranged at the rear tail.

It did not notice at all. Just ahead, four fighter jets had locked them and launched missiles!

After Adnan allocated the target, the radar of each fighter locked an opponent's fighter, skillfully connected the missile, and transmitted the guidance data into the Sparrow Missile through the b data bus, and then pressed the launch button.

A fire-riding missile broke out from the launch frame on the right side of the wing and flew out.

After launching the missile, the four F-20s still maintained the posture of the nose rushing towards the other side just now, and then flew forward.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was close to thirty kilometers.

The radar of the F-5 long aircraft finally discovered that there was a secret hidden in front of them, and Iraqi fighter jets were waiting for them! Moreover, judging from the radar's echo, the other party actually launched a missile!

"Drop the bomb and get rid of it immediately." The pilot of the F-5 aircraft commanded.

Since it was performing a bombing mission, the wings and abdomen of the F-5 were all covered with bombs, flying heavily, and they were unable to make high-overload maneuvering actions.

Hearing this order, the four F-5 fighter jets immediately dropped mounted bombs, and at the same time, they hurriedly made maneuvering actions to both sides.

It was already late. At this time, the sparrow missile had already flown into their sight.

The long aircraft climbed without saying anything, and a wingman behind it chose to climb with it.

The other two made dives.

At this time, the Sparrow Missile was confused.

Because the bombs dropped by the F-5 fighter made its brain wonder, why did the targets that had been selected just now suddenly become two, three,... so many?

Which one should I attack?

Because the bomb is relatively large in size and the echoes generated are similar to those of the f-5, two sparrows took a look and rushed up according to the bombs dropped by the other party.

The two F-5s that had been raised were relieved, looking at the missiles that had been removed.

However, the two F-5s that were diving were not so lucky. One of them was fucked by a sparrow, and the other was dived too low, hitting the sea and smashing it to pieces.

Just as the long aircraft of the F-5 were about to choose whether to take the enemy head-on or escape backward, the opponent's four aircraft formation had already entered their sight.

Close fight?

I'm not afraid of you at all! The F-5 fighter jet is relatively small in size and has the same maneuverability and flexibility as the MiG-21, so the imaginary enemy squadron of the US Air Force is all acted as the F-5.

Then let’s see who is the king! The Iranian Air Force is trained in American style and has a tough style.

Two Rattlesnake missiles were also hung on the wings of the F-5.

Adnan was a little dissatisfied when he found out that his missile had only killed two enemy planes. His hit rate was too low, right?

If Adnan knew that there was one of them, not one that was shot down, but that he hit the sea, he would probably be even more dissatisfied.

"Two-aircraft formations, two fight against each other, the long-aircraft attacks and the wingman covers it." Adnan ordered.

The four fighter jets were divided into two dual-air formations and rushed towards the oncoming enemy aircraft.

After entering the sight line and seeing the other party's plane clearly, the pilots on both sides exclaimed secretly.

f-20: Unexpectedly, in the first air battle, it was not Iran's F-14 Tomcat or F-4 ghost, but this light F-5 Tiger fighter. Alas, I still want to become famous in one battle, but this opponent is not worth it.

f-5: I have never seen it before. When did the Iraqi Air Force also equipped Tiger fighters? They have not yet divided the differences. Could it be their own air force, they made a mistake?

However, then they saw the Iraqi flag painted on the huge vertical tail, yes!

They don’t know how the Iraqi Air Force’s fighter jet came from, but since it is an enemy, they must fight bravely!

Long live Khomeini!

At this time, both sides are coming towards each other. In this case, they cannot use the Rattlesnake missile. They must fight and use their own nose to aim at the area within 30 degrees of the tail of the opponent!

The horizontal hovering performance of the f-5 fighter is not as good as the vertical climbing performance, so the pilot of the f-5 fighter immediately pulled the rod and entered the vertical climb.

After climbing vertically, the other party will definitely climb with him. As long as whoever persists for a longer time and the one who can't hold on will press the rod in advance and turn around and dive. At that time, he will continue to dive. Whoever dives first will be exposed to the other party's vision and the other party will burst into tears.

However, the pilot of the F-5 fighter jet forgot one thing: the other party was flying the same fighter jet as himself, but after improvement, the engine became more powerful!

The two general-purpose j85 turbojet engines of the F-5 are far inferior to the F404 turbofan engine of the F-20. The pilots of the F-5 fighter only chose the movements they are best at, which is almost an instinct. However, they forgot that the other party was flying this kind of maneuverable and flexible aircraft!

Adnan looked at F-5's flat butt and suddenly realized that F-20's round butt was actually not as good as F-5.

The cockpit of the F-5 fighter is not bubble-like, so he can't see if there are any fighter jets behind him all the time.

As he climbed upwards, the speed became smaller and smaller, and he was about to enter the minimum stall zone soon. He pressed the head of the machine and flipped the plane by 180 degrees and dived downward.

Suddenly, he saw the fighter plane that was still climbing and passing by him.

It's over.

In the air battle, they fought quickly. When Adnan saw that the f-5 on his head had turned over, he immediately lowered the head and followed. At this time, it happened to appear within the range of the Rattlesnake seeker.

"Start!" Adnan pressed the missile without hesitation.

Adnan looked at the f-5 fighter jet that was blown into pieces and fought with it. It was too satisfying. He remembered the f-14 he had killed him last time. Even if he encountered the f-14 again, he must fight him!
