Chapter 814: Machine guns show their power

The invisible battlefield shows the style of intelligence personnel, and on the visible battlefield, it is even more thrilling.

Before the sky was about to darken, several fighter planes were trapped in the airspace in northern Amman.

When Colonel Al flew with fearless courage to rush towards the two F-15 fighters that attacked them, hoping to avenge his wingman, he already realized that he had done something wrong.

Although Colonel Al has had more than 300 hours of experience flying to MiG-23, for him, MiG-23 has become one with him and can make any moves as he judges in his mind and moves in his hands, but compared with the opponent's fighter, MiG-23 immediately showed up.

After a few actions, Colonel Al not only did not bite the other party, but was bitten by an opponent's plane. Then, a rattlesnake missile flew over.

Colonel Al used all his abilities to dive down desperately, and then pulled up as soon as he approached the ground, and he was considered to have thrown away the missile. His body was already covered in sweat.

What about the next time?

The variable sweep wing technology is outdated. The excellent aerodynamic shape and high thrust engine can give the f-15 a high maneuverability. In this kind of battle, the f-15 has a very obvious advantage.

If Colonel Al was not experienced, he might have been shot down at this time.

With the help of the early warning aircraft, Reyer and his wingman approached the target quickly. They did not turn on the radar and passed the early warning aircraft's data link. Looking for the other party's trace, Reyer finally discovered the enemy plane at twelve o'clock.

At this time, the two F-15s were fighting against the MiG-23. The MiG-23 was unable to attack at this time and could ensure that they would not be beaten down. That was the best.

F-15! If Iraqi pilots were very unfamiliar with this US-based main air-busting fighter at the beginning, then when the last joint military exercise with Saudi Arabia, the Iraqi Mirage 4000 had already fought in the air with Saudi F-15 fighter. He was familiar with the performance of this fighter. Due to its advanced engine, high thrust-to-weight ratio and excellent appearance design, this US-based main air-busting fighter has no short-range combat capability than the F-14. If the Iraqi Air Force had not had enough ability to fight against this aircraft, but now with the Mage 4000, the Iraqi Air Force is no longer afraid even if it faces the Iranian Air Force or the Israeli Air Force in its heyday, not to mention that it is now equally matched. Both sides have two fighters.

"Use the helmet sight status, activate the R-73 missile, and prepare for close combat." Reyer said in the radio.

"I understand." The wingman replied.

It's time to use Iraq's new weapon. The sky flashed just now and didn't hit the target. Now. If it was R-73, you must hit the opponent down!

In the third-generation fighter of the Soviet Union, the Su-27 used radar, infrared, laser scanning and tracking systems and helmet sights. Although conceptually advanced, these devices are still very cumbersome to operate. After introducing the helmet sights and R-73 missiles to Iraq, scientific researchers have improved and have already made the process of launching missiles after multiple steps, which greatly simplified. Moreover, the on-board computer of the Phantom 4000 has a much higher ability to process data than the Su-27.

Reyer adjusted the fire control system knob to helmet sight mode, then began to turn his head, let the aiming ring on the helmet sight "stick" the target, and then pressed the input button on the left throttle handle.

The sensors in the cockpits on both sides of the helmet sight have measured the position of the helmet. At the same time, the on-board computer has begun to quickly solve the information input from the helmet sight. If it is the Su-27, then there are two options, which can drive infrared and laser scanning and tracking systems, or radar. For Phantom 4000, the target information is directly solved to the radar and the infrared seeker of the r-73.

The onboard radar shot an electromagnetic pulse at the target, confirming the location of the target. At the same time, the radar signal was calculated to the missile through the computer again. The r-73's seeker has successfully locked the target, within a range of forty degrees to the right of himself!

On the head-up display, an np letter appears on it, which is the command that allows the transmission.

"Stone, at four o'clock, two enemy planes." At this moment, the wingman Nahumi discovered the two fighter planes attacking on the right and shouted immediately.

"Qingyun, cover me, kill this enemy plane first, and then turn to four o'clock to prepare to face the enemy." Neil said.

In that direction, the other party could not lock himself at all, and the angle was too large. At this moment, Neil also discovered the two planes, but he was concentrating on killing the MiG in front first.

At this moment, under the afterglow of the sunset, the two planes flying from the side each launched a missile.

"Note that there is a missile at four o'clock! Start after force, jump up sharply and then dive away." Neil shouted in the radio.

Although the momentary reaction in his mind was impossible, he still knew that he was not doubting the other party's current situation, but thinking about how to get rid of the other party's missiles.

The r-73 missile can handle enemy aircraft within an off-axis launch angle of 40 degrees. Reyer was hit by this impossible reaction. Now, it is the other party's turn to try this.

An advanced weapon cannot win all wars, but there is absolutely no problem in winning the first game.

In addition to having large off-axis launch capabilities, the r-73 missile also has high maneuverability. Compared with the aircraft's overload of up to 9 g, the r-73 can allow an overload capacity of up to 50 g!

Moreover, the r-73's seeker has been improved to identify infrared bait bombs.

As the f-15 maneuvered, a series of infrared bait bombs also bloomed in the sky. However, r-73 did not lose its target at all. It passed through the fog of the infrared bait bomb and stabbed towards the f-15 hard.

"Boom!" Neil's long aircraft engine was destroyed on the right side, while Nahumi was directly hit by the cockpit.

Neil was trying to rescue the plane, and the engine on the right was emitting thick smoke. However, Neil was still trying to rescue his plane. He couldn't bear to leave his fighter plane and fell on the land of Jordan like this.

However, he didn't know that Reyer would never leave him a chance.

The distance between the two sides was quickly getting closer. Reyer looked at the still smoking plane and was about to slip back to Israel's territory in the darkening night. Reyer adjusted the fire control system to the position of the cannon.

After launching the missile, Reyer was still following the other side. Now, the distance between the two sides is very close. At such a distance, it would be a waste to launch another R-73 missile, so I will give it to my two 30mm cannons!

The machine cannon was once the main combat weapon after the invention of the aircraft. During World War II, the fighter jets flying all over the sky were in the process of chasing each other. The fire tongue flashed and shells flew everywhere. After the bullets were raining together, the other party's plane flew over well. If they wanted to shoot an aircraft, what was needed was the pilot's technology and the opportunity to seize the fighter jet. However, after the rise of air-to-air missiles, it was believed that all the battle could be handed over to missiles to solve, and the machine cannon was cancelled. It turned out that this was a stupid decision, because the performance of air-to-air missiles was still poor. Sometimes, all missiles were fired and did not shoot down enemy aircraft. The pilots of both sides were spinning around each other, but could only wave their fists to each other.

Afterwards, all the fighter jets recovered the cannons at the same time, and the Phantom 4000 was no exception. Two "Defa" 554 cannons were installed on both sides of the fuselage below the air intake channel, with 125 rounds of ammunition each. The "Defa" 554 is a single-barrel rotary cannon with a caliber of 30 mm. The fire rate is 11,000 rounds/min when firing on the ground and 1,800 rounds/min when firing on the air.

This kind of machine cannon is just a spare and will not have too much ammunition. If you hold it down and don’t put it in, you will shoot all the ammunition in less than a second.

Reyer's flat display has shown a curve. This curve is the curve formed by the computer automatically calculated that the air cannon may reach if it is fired. It is called a hotline. He only needs to press the target on this line to fire the shells.

During World War II, the cannon sight was a halo, and the enemy aircraft needed to be put on the halo, and the advance amount was calculated before it could be shot. The new aircraft sight showed a "halo" on the flat display, but the position of this halo was not the current position, but the calculated front point position. The pilot used the halo to cover the target, that is, the nose of the aircraft was just facing the front point, so as long as the halo stably cover the target for 1 to 3 seconds, it could fire, which greatly ensured the accuracy.

The more advanced machine gun aiming device is Reyer. Without a halo, it becomes a curve. Reyer carefully presses the smoked target on this hotline by operating the operating rod. That is the point where the shell and the target are expected to meet after the fire. Reyer immediately presses the launch button.

Two strings of flames flew out from under the Phantom 4000 fighter plane. At this time, the sky was about to darken. After the two flames flew over, a fireball appeared in the sky in front of them.

Reyer pressed the operating rod to the right, and at the same time pushed the rudder on the right to avoid the burning target in front.

The two invaded planes were all shot down!
