Chapter 87 MiG 25 vs F14 (2)
When using Immortals, the powerful AWG-9 has the ability to search and track while tracking, and can track 24 scattered targets at the same time. It cooperates with the fire control computer and the final guidance system of the "Immortals" missile to achieve simultaneous launch of multiple missiles.
Last-stage guidance refers to the use of missile-based radar to replace missile control when the missile is about 16 kilometers away from the target, thereby increasing the probability of hitting. The huge seeker of the Immortal Bird is equipped with a small radar. This launch and guidance capability allows the AWG-9 system to guide six "Immortal Bird" missiles to six scattered targets almost at the same time (within 2 seconds) on the basis of time separation. []
Although in the experiment, even under the ideal situation, there was no result of hitting six targets at the same time, this still cannot offset the Tomcat's powerful interception ability.
Immortal birds are the standard for tomcats, but sparrows are not. In the early stages, the ability to guide sparrows was not able to use sparrows until later, after the fire control program was improved.
The aim-7 Sparrow Air-to-air missile is a medium-range radar semi-active guided air-to-air missile developed by the United States. Since the late 1950s, the Sparrow missile has undergone many modifications. Until the 1970s, with the accumulation of experience in the use of Sparrow missiles in the Vietnam War and the advancement of electronic technology, it was not until the development of the Aim-7f performance stabilized and won praise from pilots.
However, since the "Sparrow" missile is a radar-guided semi-active guided guided missile, the missile requires the radar beam to continuously illuminate the target during its flight, so it can only attack a single target.
Therefore, Reyer immediately divided the formation into two teams, two above 20,000 meters and two above 10,000 meters to prepare to launch missiles.
Weapons and equipment are very important, and personnel cooperation and tactics are also very important.
When the two MiG-25s began to climb, the two weapons operators in the rear compartment of the two F-14 fighters immediately felt something was wrong.
Looking at the speed of the opponent's pulling, it was definitely the MiG-25 fighter equipped by the Iraqi Air Force! Moreover, the opponent was still climbing high and climbing high.
Originally, it was under the tomcat, but now it was climbing above its head, and it was still climbing high!
Soon, the other party rose to a height of more than 20,000 meters.
What do they want to do? The weapon operator feels a little tricky.
"Lock the two planes below," said Karatbarri. He also saw it on the display in front.
It would be great if the Immortal Bird was mounted! The other party has climbed too high now, and it has exceeded the sparrow's ceiling.
The wings of the Immortal Bird are wide, while the wings of the Sparrow are relatively short. The thin air at high altitudes cannot hold the sparrow missile at all.
"The opponent has been locked." said the weapon operator. On the high-speed fighter plane, the distance of 100 kilometers was soon arrived. Now the two sides are facing each other head-on, which is naturally even shorter.
"Start!" As soon as Karatbari finished speaking, the weapon operator pressed the weapon launch button.
A sparrow, dragging a long flame, drove away from the tomcat's abdomen.
"Note, p-40r, volley." Reyer also ordered.
Suddenly, under the wings of the four MiG-25s, a flame appeared, and each MiG-25 fired a medium-range missile.
At this time, the radar alarm receiver rang and the other party had locked himself.
"No. 2, prepare to turn right and get out of lock," Reyer said.
Bless by Allah! The pilot of the No. 2 aircraft silently recited in his heart.
If a medium-range missile attacks the opponent, the radar on the carrier aircraft will continue to illuminate the target. In this way, the carrier aircraft cannot perform large overload maneuvers. Otherwise, once the carrier aircraft moves, the radar will be free from locking, and the missiles flying out will become uncontrolled rockets.
"Oh no, the opponent has launched a missile!" said the weapon operator in the rear cabin.
Tomcat's awg-9 radar is very advanced and has a high resolution. It can not only distinguish the opponent's fighter jets, but also the missiles launched by the fighter jets.
Since the fighter accelerated when launching the missile, giving the missile a large initial speed, although it was a missile launched by the MiG-25, it could approach the target first.
Looking at the target flying quickly on the radar screen and listening to the sound of the radar alarm receiver, Karatbari was a little unwilling to accept: "Prepare to maneuver and get rid of the opponent's missile."
As long as there is a little hesitation, although the Soviet missile has poor performance, only God knows whether it can be removed after entering the opponent's inescapable zone.
However, as long as he made a fierce maneuver, the two sparrows that had just been fired out, even if they were white and lost the irradiation of the carrier, the sparrow could not hit the target.
From this point of view, Sparrow and P-40 have the same situation, because they are both semi-active radar guidance. The missile's seeker can only be received but cannot be launched. The carrier aircraft uses a radar beam to continuously illuminate the target. After the missile's seeker is received, it will adjust its course. If the radar beam of the carrier aircraft is lost, the missile will be unlocked.
However, the only difference is that the two tomcats must fly maneuver, otherwise they will be hit by four missiles flying in and explode in the air. The two MiG-25s at a height of 25,000 meters do not need to be maneuvered because they will not be attacked by missiles. As long as the two MiG-25s at a height of 15,000 meters, as long as the tomcats maneuver, they will relieve the danger. They fly maneuver to circle the rear of the tomcats!
Tomcats took out their excellent skills: roll sideways!
Karatbari and Norroz pressed the rod and rudder, and the huge tomcat began to turn side nimblely and make a rolling move with great skill.
The sharp locked sound in the headphones finally disappeared. The weapon operator in the rear cabin checked the multi-function display screen between the rolling sky and earth lines.
"There are two MiGs that disappear."
The six missiles flying from the sky in the first round just set off a few beautiful smoke belts in the sky, turning into six brilliant fireworks, and they all started self-destruction programs at the end of the range, hitting the target without hitting a single hit.
The pilots on two MiG-25 altitudes at a height of 25,000 meters kept cursing the simple fire-controlled radar and the cunning Tomcat fighter.
At this time, the Tomcat fighter was not excited to get rid of the missile. Karatbari shouted: "Acm mode, full airspace scanning."
A hidden enemy is the most terrifying enemy. Where did those two MiGs go?
In addition to using radar, both of them were also searching around the airspace. It took tens of kilometers to fly between the two sides in one minute.
Suddenly, the weapon operator behind was shocked to find an infrared fighting bomb flying at high speed from the side and rear.
At this time, the radar alarm receiver did not issue an alarm. How did the opponent's missile be launched?
Curiosity about unknown things has been higher than his fear of death.
"Boom!" A huge sound came from behind.
