...The distance between the two sides is still approaching quickly, and the heads of the two MiG pilots are always facing the target. At the same time, the input (bbu) button on the throttle handle is kept in the pressed position.

Reyer never dreamed that in this situation, the other party was always aiming at them, waiting for the opportunity to launch...

Due to the height difference between the two sides, the angle between the Phantom 4000 fighter and the head of the opponent's fighter was long greater than forty degrees. In this case, the infrared seeker could not turn at the corresponding position at all.

The infrared seeker of the Magic Air-to-air missile has a perspective angle of 30 degrees, which means that it can only attack enemy aircraft in the area 30 degrees up and down in the left and right, up and down in the front. If it exceeds this fan, it will not be visible.

However, the R-73 infrared seeker does not have the usual infrared bomb modulation disc. Instead, it uses a unique multi-detection non-imaging phase array seeker. Therefore, it can lock the target in a fan with a positive and negative angle of 60 degrees in front. With the helmet sight, it has large off-axis tracking and high maneuverability. Air combat is always a contest of high-tech!

Just when Reyer thought he was safely preparing to fight before both sides flew head-on, the situation changed.

The MiG-29's long-distance pilot finally waited for the one-time command "p" that appeared on the head-up display, which means that the infrared seeker has intercepted the target according to the target indication information of the helmet target indication system, completed the launch preparation, and allowed the launch.

Without hesitation, he pressed the launch button on the operating rod. The r-73 missile that had been waiting for had already jumped out of the wings.

Iraqis, let you know that the sky is of the great Soviet Union!

Reyer was preparing for close combat with all his attention. Suddenly, he saw the smoke fired by the missile under the opponent's wings, and then he saw a fire that pushed a missile to fly in quickly.

It was too late to think so much. Although his heart was full of questions, how did the other party's missile launch at a distance of fifty degrees from the axis? At this time, the missile was flying towards him.

Reyer pulled the rod and urged the rudder, and he took a method: fly towards the missile!

Within such a short distance of three kilometers, he does any maneuvering move to get rid of it. It is impossible. This can almost be an inescapable area for missiles, so there is only one way: fly head-on!

Nowadays, no matter how advanced the performance of the missile is, head-on attack is always a problem. Both sides have very high relative speeds and require the missile to change its position faster. Leave less time for missile reaction. More importantly, the missile's seeker's fuse to control the explosion time of the missile's warhead will be very difficult to grasp, and the explosion is too early. The opponent has not arrived yet, the explosion is too late, and it has passed. This is also the way that missiles now use tail-chasing attacks.

Is the opponent's missile advanced enough? Reyer is over the age of a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger, but in this kind of air combat, fearless spirit and correct operation are the most important.

The pilot of another MiG-29 fighter jet did not wait for the launch opportunity. He accidentally touched the laser rangefinder's electric gate, so the aiming command of the helmet sight was lowered by a level and the opponent was never locked.

Reyer looked at the light spot flying. He operated the nearly 100 million US dollars fighter jet in his hand and flew towards the missile worth hundreds of thousands of dollars without any hesitation, like a moth flying into the fire.

Then, he started to overpower, which was originally diving towards a low altitude, and then turned on overpower. The Mach watch in front was rotating clockwise quickly.

Although the fighter has the ability to have a maximum speed of more than Mach 2, it is the data measured when flying in a high altitude. The air in high altitude is thin, with small resistance, which can easily exceed the speed of sound. In low altitude, the air density increases greatly, resulting in a large resistance, and a little more than Mach at most. However, diving from a high altitude will be superimposed on the kinetic energy provided by gravity potential energy. In addition, a twin-engine fighter at this time, the power is very strong. Reyer felt that the plane he was flying was a little excited and shocked, and then the speed began to decay, which is a manifestation of the impending breakthrough of the sound barrier.

At this time, the local indigenous people of Khorasan on the ground were fortunate to witness this strange scene. Several fighter planes were "showing cool" in the air. One of them was even more strange. Behind it, a white "cloud" like an umbrella was accumulated. But then, they were shocked by the huge explosion and their eardrums were about to be shattered. Could it be that another earthquake occurred?

When the Phantom 4000 breaks through the sound barrier at a low altitude, a "sonic bomb cloud" formed behind it. This is because the temperature drops due to the decrease in air pressure behind the shock wave surface that breaks through the sound barrier. The water vapor condenses to form tiny water droplets, which looks like clouds and fog.

When breaking through the sound barrier, a huge sonic boom came, and this airflow with strong pressure had a terrifying power.

Then, the r-73 missile flew near Phantom 4000, but it suddenly felt a powerful airflow.

In fact, after the r-73 missile was launched, it quickly exceeded the speed of sound. However, the size of the r-73 missile is much smaller than that of the aircraft, and the sonic boom it arouses is also very small and almost negligible. The sonic boom it arouses in the sky can affect the ground.

Originally, the r-73 missile was not afraid of sonic booms, but it was stunned by the sonic booms and hesitated for a while. Then, it passed by Phantom 4000. Because the speed of both sides was too fast, it flew past Phantom 4000 when it detonated the warhead and arrived at a distance of more than ten meters behind it, which detonated the warhead.

Reyer suffered a huge overload and pulled up the plane. If he didn't do anything, he would hit the mountain.

During medium-range air combat outside the sight range of both sides, early warning aircraft can provide them with a lot of information, but in close combat, early warning aircraft cannot help. What the early warning aircraft can do is patrol the surrounding airspace.

"Report, the air combat situation in front is very complicated. Colonel Chekhov asked whether more fighter planes could be sent to support him." Defense Minister Ustinov, who was waiting anxiously in the hospital, received a hurried request again.

What? Our best fighter jets have not yet gained an advantage? Ustinov feels a little overwhelmed, so he sends more fighter jets? In this case, sending more fighter jets means escalation of conflict!

Now, the senior executives have a premonition that they are watching the medical staff coming in and out, and knowing that the General Secretary’s illness is probably very serious this time.

Some people have even thought that if the General Secretary really had any misfortune, then who would be the next one?

Under such circumstances, the domestic situation has begun to become complicated. At the top, this transfer of power will have certain risks. In this case, it is not in the interests of the Soviet Union to provoke another war.

"Let our fighter jets return to the base as soon as possible, and the operation will be terminated." Ustinov gave the order in disappointment.

This time it was cheaper for the Iraqis, the Minister of Defense of the Great Red Empire. This was probably the weakest time for him, not weak, not tough enough.

However, after receiving his order, Chekhov on the front line didn't think so much. The key is that he would not allow additional fighter jets to be sent now. How could the two fighter jets that have already entered close combat retreat so easily? Whoever withdraws first will reveal his tail and be killed by the other party without mercy.

He could not help but convey the order to the front line, hoping that the two pilots would be lucky enough to escape.

The pilots of the MiG-29 were no longer in the mood to care about the orders from their superiors at this time. They were engaged in a dizzy close-range battle with these two Iraqi fighters.

Both sides are first-class pilots, and the fighter jets they fly are almost the most advanced aircraft of this era. After getting rid of the other side's lock, Reyer, a pilot from Iraq, came to the back of the MiG-29 after a rapid climb and flip.

At this time, Reyer had the advantage, but the other party was also trying all kinds of tricks and constantly making various difficult maneuvering actions, which kept making Reyer unable to obtain the locking range within thirty degrees of the first half of the field. The other party's aircraft was even more maneuverable than the MiG-21, completely overturning his impression of Soviet aircraft. In terms of maneuverability, it was comparable to the heavy fighter he was flying now.

Moreover, the other party has a dual engine, so it not only has good horizontal performance, but also has very superb vertical maneuvering.

The opponent suddenly pulled up the head and climbed up vertically. Reyer followed him. At this time, whoever couldn't hold on first will have the advantage.

Because, whoever falls first will dive backwards, thus biting the opponent's back halfway.

Reyer already knew that as long as he was bitten by the other party, the consequences would be very tragic, because the missile just now had proved that the opponent's off-axis launch ability was very good, and it was okay to escape the opponent's thirty-degree area. It would be almost impossible to exceed the opponent's 60-degree area.

The pilot of the MiG-29 fighter was confident that he was the best pilot in the Soviet Air Force, but now, he also felt powerless. He had been fighting for several minutes but still couldn't get rid of the other party!

The hateful guy behind him was able to fuck him down just now, but he actually flew head-on, and exceeded the speed of sound, delaying the explosion of his missile and escaping a disaster.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and the canyon he had just flew into again, and he flew into it without hesitation.

When Reyer saw that the other party wanted to slip out of the canyon, he wanted to push the nose of the machine and flew in. At this time, the command of the rear early warning aircraft came from the headphones: "Prepare to get out of the air battle."

The fight was so good that he was about to end it? Reyer watched the other party slip away and did not follow in. Although he was confident that he could definitely fly in that kind of canyon quickly, he still strictly followed the order. To be continued...
