Chapter 407 J-7 VS MiG 21

Dassault finally reported that the development of the Phantom 4000 has come to an end. The initial pre-production model has begun to produce at a low speed. Because the Phantom 4000 fighter has not received a military order so far, these fighter jets can be said to be produced for Iraq.

Since it was produced for Iraq, Iraq needs to pay an advance deposit. Kusai agreed to the other party's request and also put forward new requirements. He took the lead in sending a group to Dassault for preliminary training. In this way, when the Phantom 4,000 is produced, he can fly.

Such a request is exactly the same as Northrop in the United States. Dassault has no reason not to agree. However, the real reason for Dassault is that the funds are too tight. Several problems of Phantom 4000 have not been solved yet, so I want to absorb some funds from Iraq first. However, the production cycle of this type of fighter jet will be at least one year. During this period, let Iraqi pilots train on the ground!

Unlike the wealthy American company, Dassault was ambition to develop a twin-engine heavy air combat fighter, and also adopted a large number of new technologies, new engines, new avionics, new flight controls, and new aerodynamic layouts. All of this cost huge amounts of money. Dassault felt a little overwhelmed.

At the beginning, the company wanted to develop independently and did not receive a single franc investment from the military. Now it seems to be a mistake.

And Kusai has been yearning for this fighter for a long time, and now he is said to be able to be produced at a low speed. No matter what, I will send someone to you first!

Although with the F-20 and the Super Seven were modified with China, Kusai knew that if he wanted to truly dominate the future sky and compete for air supremacy with fighters such as the F-14.f-15, Su-27 and even the future F-22, heavy air-control fighters are essential.

Phantom 4000 is a sharp sword in the future sky of Iraq!

Any battle will start from the sky, and if the air supremacy is lost, there is almost no possibility of a turnaround.

Kusai knows this truth, and Iranians also know this truth.

A small fighter jet like the J-7, in the hands of the tough Iranian Air Force, quickly achieved its due level. Although it is not as powerful as the F-14. However, due to its relatively lightweight, the aircraft's maneuverability is very good, and some of the performance is even similar to the F-14. In addition, with the Rattlesnake missile installed by Iranian ground crews, this fighter jet makes the Iranian Air Force, which now lacks fighter jets, feel like a treasure.

Moreover, while the pilots are familiar with this fighter, several subsequent batches of fighter jets will arrive one after another, and the result will not be that one less is killed like the American-made fighter jets.

After mastering the performance of this fighter, they began to yearn for war with the Iraqi Air Force again to wash away their shame. It was not that they were beaten down in the air, but that they had no chance to take off to fight!

The order came down soon.

After the J-7 fighter jet trained at the airport was discovered by the MiG-25, which was high-altitude reconnaissance of Iraq, Iran suddenly discovered that Iraq's air reconnaissance increased significantly, and the other army in the mountains in the northern region also showed signs of a callback, and they could no longer hesitate!

After careful consideration, Khomeini finally ordered the large-scale counterattack to officially begin! The north and south lines were moving forward together to fight back the invading Iraqis!

Although Iraq's offensive was very fierce at the beginning of the war, the Iraqi offensive has been weakened so far, especially after the Kurds' unrest, they have dispatched troops from the front to return to their country. In this way, the power of the Iraqi army on the front is actually weak.

While the ground forces began to attack, the Iranian air force dispatched again to seize air supremacy over the battlefield.

Two MiG-21 reconnaissance models flew at low altitudes in Kangawar in the eastern part of Bakhtaran. They were fighter jets from Iraq's northern military region. They received orders from superiors to strictly investigate the outside of the eastern defense line in Bakhtaran, paying attention to whether there are signs of Iranian troops gathering to prevent sudden attacks by the Iranians.

The two MiG-21s flew very slowly, and they kept passing through the mountains. The terrain here is complex and there may be people hiding in many places.

Although it is a reconnaissance type and carries a reconnaissance pod, the two MiG-21s still carry two R-60 infrared short-range air-to-air missiles for self-defense.

Pilot Hidali looked at another MiG-21 plane in the side direction, and seemed to see the pilot Hesni's head wearing a white flight helmet turning, as if he didn't believe in the plane's reconnaissance equipment, but liked his own eyes even more.

The ground is full of uneven mountains. I am used to seeing the deserts in the west. This terrain is the most uncomfortable thing for them. Who knows where Iranian planes will pop up!

Suddenly, under the sunlight, Hidali discovered that two highlights flashed in the distant valley.

"Note, at nine o'clock," Hidali shouted in the radio.

Two J-7 set out from Tehran Air Force Base and entered the mountains at a low altitude. Their mission was to ambush these two Iraqi Air Force fighter jets that were swaying and reconnaissance.

History is such a coincidence. The J-7 and MiG-21, a pair of fighter jets with great origins, will meet here on a narrow road.

The MiG21 is a reconnaissance type, but the J-7 is here to take the initiative to challenge it. The four rattlesnake missiles under the wings are their weapon!

Fortunately, Iraqi pilots were lucky enough to find them under the reflection of the sun.

However, the distance is already very close at this time.

While asking for support from the base behind, Hidali went up to meet him. The distance was too close. If he turned around and ran away like this, he would just give the hot tail nozzle to the other party to burst his anus.

There are no fighter jets from our side nearby, so it must be an Iranian plane!

Due to the limitations of the fuselage and the layout of the air intake at the nose, it is impossible to install a large radar at all. The MiG-21's nose is only equipped with a small aiming radar, while the J-7 has nothing.

"Put on the secondary fuel tank and prepare to kill the Iranian plane." Hidali said in the radio.

Until now, the Iranian Tomcat has never left the sky above Tehran. For other F-4 and F-5 fighters, the MiG21 still has a great chance to win. At least they have to escape after the contact between the two sides. When the other party turns around, they have already flew away from the low altitude in the mountains. In short, they cannot escape now.

He also hoped in his heart that he would not really meet the tomcat.

Soon, two Iranian fighter jets flew out from the mountain on the side.

However, at this time, both sides were already flying against each other.

Unless there is a good performance head-on attack missile, chasing attack is the most effective way.

However, what the two Iraqi pilots did not expect was that the Iranian pilot was so brave!

In addition to the early MiG21pf, MiG21 had two GSH-23l machine guns. However, after the Vietnam War, there were few examples of using machine guns for air combat. Iraqi Air Force pilots rarely trained to use machine guns for air combat.

The J-7 originated from the MiG-21. In addition to the basic model, the 30mm air cannon inherited from the J-6, the rest are also 23mm air cannons.

However, in the era when air-to-air missiles have long become the dominant air combat, and some fighter jets have even cancelled air cannons, although there are two air cannons, there are only 100 rounds each. If you hold them down with your hands, you will be exhausted in five seconds.

After flying out of the mountains, the Iranian pilot immediately found the target he was going to attack. However, it was very embarrassing that the two sides were flying head-on at this time. Even if their own Rattlesnake missiles were advanced, they could not conduct such an attack.

You can only fly over and then turn around and enter the air battle. It depends on who is skilled and able to complete this action first and successfully enter the opponent's second half of the ball.

However, there is another possibility. When a slewing radius of several thousand meters comes, the other party may be gone.

Hidali looked at the fighter jet gradually approaching. Since the opponent came from a low altitude and was now climbing up, he had already seen clearly that the fighter jet in the distance was indeed very similar to his MiG21. The superiors had already reported the news that the Iranian Air Force was equipped with the J-7 fighter jet imported from China. It seemed that this was his first time to encounter it.

Hidali suddenly felt an unknown feeling. After both sides flew head-on, his formation should fly away from the mountains as soon as possible. After all, his mission was to reconnaissance, not air combat.

The distance between the two sides is approaching quickly. This situation is a situation that you will encounter in close combat. Both sides want to strangle the other party to death, but now, there is no other way except to curse in your heart. After flying head-on, it will test the pilot's skills.

At this moment, suddenly, a J-7 in front of him made an action that Hidali would never forget.

Just as the distance between the two sides was approaching quickly, one of the J-7 suddenly raised the nose of the aircraft. Then, two flames flashed under the belly of the aircraft, and the other party actually opened fire, using an air cannon!

The pilots of the Iranian Air Force were very excited. This was the first time this year to confront the Iraqi Air Force. We must do the next plane! They are bold and are not subject to various regulations. Therefore, one of the pilots suddenly thought of a move to quickly adjust the fire control to the state of the artillery. When both sides were about to get closer, they pulled the nose and launched the artillery attack regardless of their own danger.

With the flames below the belly of the aircraft, the shells kept flying out and landing under the plane. One by one, a series of 30mm shells flew towards the unlucky MiG21 in front.

Iranians are crazy, this is a suicide attack! (To be continued)
