Chapter 515 Shooting down EF-111

During the Cold War, although there are often incidents of going off the wrong side, this is an extremely dangerous situation and will trigger confrontation between the two polar powers at any time. However, the supreme leaders of the two superpowers are very restrained and try not to fall into direct military confrontation.

But this time, it is an exception.

Both sides took off early warning aircraft, and the United States, except for that passenger aircraft, had several other electronic fighters with soft killing. The Soviet Union, except for that early warning aircraft, was all real fighter jets that could attack them at any time. However, due to the advantages of electronic warfare in the United States, the current Soviet fighter jets have been strongly disturbed, especially the backward Su-15, which cannot use airborne radar to lock targets and communicate with the rear.

However, the MiG-29, which took off later, was the latest Soviet fighter, carried the Soviet air-to-air missile specially used for anti-electronic jammers and early warning aircraft. The only disadvantage was that this missile was modified from the R-27 missile, and like the prototype, it had a range of 40 kilometers.

Asipovich adjusted the radio several backup frequencies, but it still did not improve. The strong electromagnetic interference still exists. Now, he has lost contact with the rear and has a lot of interference in the call with the wingman behind, so he can barely contact.

Now that they have lost contact, they can only rely on their own judgment.

Do you want to launch a missile? Asipovich hesitated in his heart. Now, although radar-guided missiles are no longer available, two infrared-guided aa-3 aphid missiles are still mounted on his wings. This missile that uses infrared seekers can lock and attack the tails of the three engines. The burning flames there are the best eyes of infrared seekers. As long as they are locked, they will definitely not be able to escape.

What to do? Asipovich knew that he launched a missile by just pressing the button, but after launching the missile, the subsequent events were consequences that he could never bear. If he launched the missile privately, then the series of problems caused by this would have to be put on his head. Without the order of the military commander, he could take various threat measures, but he would never be able to launch a missile.

Let the Americans see first! Although firing shells did not work, he still had other means.

The sweat on Chen Bingyong's forehead had already emerged. He knew that the Soviet plane was right behind his butt and followed them tightly. Is electronic interference useful? You know, there were many lunatics among the Soviet pilots. If they received an order, they would hit him with an airplane.

Now, the two planes behind have not yet moved, but maybe the next moment will be earth-shaking.

The huge Boeing 747 passenger plane, no matter how it flies, it is not as good as a small fighter plane, not to mention that one of the passenger planes has stopped working.

The only thing they can do is to do their best to leave Sakhalin Island and enter the Hokkaido airspace.

The electronic engineers behind have also stopped working. They were sent here to perform this dangerous mission and have been mentally prepared in advance. However, now that they know that Soviet planes are chasing them, they are still very nervous.

Under the interference of the ef-111 electronic jammer, two Soviet Su-15 fighters could not get the orders from their superiors and could not attack. They were flying with the Boeing 747 in the dark sky. As time passed, the passengers kept flying out of Sakhalin Island. In this way, the interception activity would end in failure.

Two Soviet pilots had wanted to launch missiles several times, but they still held back.

However, this situation gradually changed. Under the command of the Tu-126 early warning aircraft, the MiG29, which took off from behind, continued to receive the opponent's direction through the arcl58 ultra-high frequency data link, and flew towards the opponent's electronic jammer at an ultra-low altitude.

Although the aircraft was discovered by the e-3 early warning aircraft after takeoff, the radar operator of the early warning aircraft was not too vigilant, because after the aircraft took off, the flight direction was not the direction of the Boeing 747 passenger plane. He just thought that the role of the electronic jammer had caused the Soviet air defense command system to fail, and they flew in the wrong direction in the dark sky.

Until the plane flew over the Kerryon Peninsula and was still flying towards the Zonggu Strait, the early warning plane finally found that the situation was not good. The other party's purpose was not the passenger plane that was circumventing its own side. The other party flew towards its own electronic jammer!

The radar operator of the early warning aircraft immediately sent an emergency warning to its jammer. At this time, the distance between the two sides was close to fifty kilometers.

The one who drove the MiG29 was a meritorious pilot from the Soviet Union, Lieutenant Colonel Kutuzov.

Under his wings, two special missiles were mounted. From the appearance, four large inverted trapezoidal wings in the middle of the bullet body form the main control surface, paired with four trapezoidal stabilized wings in the front and four fixed double triangular tails in the non-segment of the bullet body. This is a newly commissioned air-to-air missile in the Soviet Union. However, the missiles he mounted today have even more different seekers. This is a nemesis of electronic warplanes! Inside the seeker is a passive guidance device for an electronic jammer specially used to strike electromagnetic signal launch sources!

Americans, let you taste the power of the Soviet Union! Lieutenant Colonel Kutuzov pressed the launch button.

Under the wings of the MiG-29, two flames were a little dazzling in the dark sky. Two missiles, one in front and one behind, flew away from the pylon and flew towards the two ef-111 electronic jammers across the strait.

Two small light spots appeared on the radar display of the early warning aircraft. The radar operator knew that it was the other party launching the missile!

In a strong electromagnetic interference environment, how could the other party launch a missile? Now, the distance between the two sides is nearly forty kilometers! It can only be radar-guided air-to-air missiles!

The radar operator of the early warning aircraft called urgently: "Note that the other party fired the missile, the other party fired the missile, immediately turned to detach, and increased the electromagnetic interference power."

He just thought that the opponent's fighter was a new type of aircraft. It is said that the Soviet MiG-29 had been equipped with troops. The radar of this new type of fighter may have some advanced technology and was not suppressed by electronic jammers.

Hearing the call, the pilots of the two ef-111 electronic jammers that were releasing electromagnetic interference immediately operated the plane and turned to fly towards the airspace south of Hokkaido. He turned on the afterburner and adjusted the sweep angle of the wing to the maximum, and the roaring ef-111 made a quick sprint.

EF-111 has two crew members, one is a pilot and the other is an electronic combat operator. After hearing the call from the early warning aircraft, one of the electronic combatants increased the interference power, while another electronic combat operator of the other fighter took the opposite measures and turned off the electronic interference equipment.

Because, this electronic countermeasure operator has heard from the rumor that the Soviet Union had a special anti-radiation missile, which was used to attack his aircraft. The stronger the interference signal, the more accurate the opponent would hit!

You should know that under the interference signal just now, since the opponent can launch a missile, it means that interference is ineffective for the opponent's aircraft. So, will it be effective to increase interference? Or is it more useful to cancel the interference signal?

The two ef-111 electronic warfare aircraft chose different methods, which destined that their results were also different.

After launching the missile, the MiG-29 fighter jet just arrived at the middle crack of the Sogo Strait, which was the dividing line between the two sides. The MiG-29 fighter jet did not enter Japanese airspace. However, the two missiles it launched had already flown over the border line and flew towards two ef-111 electronic warfare aircraft in Hokkaido.

If the Soviet air-to-air missile range was long enough, the target would not be trapped in electronic jammers that were close to the front line. Those early warning aircraft with mushroom plates were their targets.

In later generations, the MiG-31 carried this ultra-long-range air-to-air missile and was called the killer of early warning aircraft.

Lieutenant Colonel Kutuzov did not observe the results of the battle, nor could he cross the border, so he made a flexibly turn and returned. As a frontline fighter, the MiG-29 did not carry much fuel and had a small range, and was even called the airport defender.

Soon, a fireball lit up in the dark sky in the distance.

The r-27p missile accurately followed an ef-111 electronic warfare aircraft. Its seeker aimed at the signal transmitting antenna on the vertical stabilizer surface of the tail of the opponent's strong electromagnetic emission source.

ef-111 is unfortunate, because, because the two sides are far apart when the other party fires, when the missile flies, it is almost close to the limit of its power range. If he does a few maneuvering actions, the missile's energy will be consumed. However, he is just flying in a straight line. As a result, he is caught up by the r-27 missile, hit the tail accurately, igniting aviation fuel, and then an explosion occurs.

The two pilots in front ejected at the last moment.

As a new type of fighter, the f-111 fighter has a different feature, in addition to using variable sweep wing technology, which is the use of the entire cockpit ejection.

Now, almost all fighter jets use ejection seats, but the cockpit of the f-111 is where two pilots sit side by side. The two pilots are very close and there is no separation between them. If the entire cockpit is not ejected together but rather one seat is ejected one by one, it will not only waste time, but more importantly, the flames ejected first may hurt the pilot who ejected later. The ejected directly in the entire cockpit is much more convenient and safer. Moreover, because the plane's flight speed is very fast, the powerful oncoming airflow when the pilot ejects from the plane is a great threat to the pilot, and the canopy hood that ejects together plays a role in protecting the pilot. When ejected at sea, this cockpit can also become a temporary residence for the pilot.
