Chapter 9 The Volley of the MiG-25

Two gorgeous flames flashed like meteors, and then Raymond felt a lighter on his body, and the ejection seat was separated from his body. Since it was at a low altitude, the parachute was opened without delay and it opened directly.

A dazzling umbrella flower slowly landed in the sky, but Raymond was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scene on the earth. He knew that he was about to encounter the biggest trouble in his life.

Compared to those who had already lost their lives, he was still lucky because he was still alive. However, only God knows how long he could live.

Here is in the heart of Iraq, near the nuclear reactors defended by heavy troops. Although the search and rescue team's helicopters are always on standby, it is absolutely impossible to come from the border between Israel and Jordan and rescue himself. He has no choice but to rely on himself and return to Israel.

If you are unfortunately arrested, the best way is to end yourself in advance. With the hatred of the Arabs towards you, you may be worse than death.

Raymond fell to the ground in a conflicted mood. Fortunately, due to the wind, he had already left the nuclear reactor several kilometers.

According to the movements during training, his legs were brought together. When he fell to the ground, his legs bent, cushioned for a while, and then rolled, completing the steps of landing.

Skydiving is not as simple as it seems. If the landing movement is not done well, the legs will be broken at the least, and the worst will be unfortunately killed. Although Raymond is not afraid of death, he wants to preserve his usefulness and fight to build a great Jewish country.

After landing, Raymond cut off the parachute with an umbrella knife and immediately ran west quickly. There was a forest to the west. After passing the woods, there was a small river. After crossing the river, there was a village. When it was dark, he wanted to get a car out of it and quickly escape from the dangerous area here.

"Operation Babylon has ended and all aircraft return immediately."

Bahari was furious and dived, bombarded the hidden anti-aircraft guns with machine guns, smashed several unlucky anti-aircraft gunners into pieces, and then calmed down.

On the radar screen, more than a dozen light spots flashed, and the fighter jets that took off from the Iraqi Air Force Base were already coming here quickly.

With advanced fighter jets and powerful air-to-air missiles, Bahari was not afraid of those backward MiGs, but there was no need for him to fight again. He already knew that this bombing operation had completely failed, and what came down was to bring the remaining people back intact. At this time, the plane's fuel was not much. If he continued to tangle here, and when the fuel was exhausted, his fighter squadron would probably stay here.

Bahari calmed down and ordered his return.

Iftach's eyes gradually became brighter. I was really scared when I remembered the experience just now. As long as I pulled the joystick for one second, the plane would be destroyed and the people would be killed. He glanced to the side, but found that a white umbrella flower appeared in the sky.

Raymond! Iftach knew that the umbrella must be Raymond, he crashed!

Looking down, there was already thick smoke rising from the nuclear reactor.

"Operation Babylon has ended, all planes return immediately." Hearing the sound from the headphones, Iftach did not fly over to evaluate the bombing results, and immediately turned westward, preparing to return with F-15.

The MiG aircraft was chasing behind. Although its fighter jet had outstanding performance, there were only two life-saving Rattlesnake missiles left. If they were surrounded by MiG aircraft, they would probably only be slaughtered.

As for Raymond on the ground, I can only hope that he will be lucky.

"Be careful of the formation, get out of high altitude, at azimuth 270, and get out of low altitude quickly." Bahari ordered calmly.

In almost a few minutes, at least three or four radar beams had swept across Bahari's landline. In order to avoid being attacked by the opponent's air defense missiles, Bahari immediately ordered to leave at a low altitude.

Since the earth is curved, after flying to a low altitude, it can effectively avoid being locked by the opponent's radar. As long as it leaves the vicinity of Baghdad, the air defense firepower in other parts of Iraq will be greatly weakened. However, when flying at low altitude, the air resistance is very high, resulting in the intensification of fuel combustion and the remaining fuel is not much. Therefore, after entering Saudi Arabia, it can only fly at high altitude and return. However, after entering Saudi Arabia, it will be protected by other Air Force fighters, and the danger will be greatly reduced.

Although they experienced drastic changes, those who were able to fly fighter jets were the elites in the army. They quickly eased up, lined up in formations, and rushed westward at a low altitude.

Iftach was driving the f-16, which was more than ten kilometers away from the f-15 formation ahead.

Iftach turned on the afterburner switch, and suddenly, the powerful engine burst out with greater thrust, and a white mist-shaped sharp wave appeared in front of the plane. The plane broke through the sound barrier and flew supersonicly.

The f-16 is a single-engine aircraft, with an acceleration performance that is not as good as the twin-engine F-15. In the dangerous Iraqi airspace, there are only two short-range rattlesnake missiles, which will be very dangerous. Therefore, Iftach chose to turn on the afterburner and catch up with the formation ahead as soon as possible.

Supersonic flights at low altitudes are strictly prohibited. A powerful sonic boom will be formed on the ground, and people on the ground will be strongly affected. However, Iftach cannot control so much, not to mention that the Iraqis are still underneath.

As the afterburner was turned on, the aviation fuel began to be consumed at an astonishing speed. Iftach looked at the f-15 formation that was close to him and closed the afterburner.

"Report, Chisel No. 4 is insufficient oil, Chisel No. 4 is insufficient oil." Iftach glanced at the instrument on the instrument panel and calculated carefully. He would definitely not persist if he could return to Israel and would fall to Saudi Arabia or Jordan.

Bahari heard Iftach's voice in his headphones. Chisel 4 was his landline. Although he was the commander of the formation, Iftach's rank was higher than himself. Moreover, the only one of the eight F-16s left on the expedition was his. Bahari didn't want to crash due to insufficient fuel.

Anyway, my f-15s were to protect the bombing formation. Now there was only one left, and I had to take it back whatever I said. Besides, I have already flew to Karbala Province, and the air defense force here is very weak. If you fly for more than ten minutes, you will leave Iraq's territory. And those planes that have just taken off and are ready to intercept may still be hundreds of kilometers away. When they chase them, they have already flew out of Iraq.

Bahari made up his mind, "Please note the formation, height is 10,000, speed is 400, direction is 270."

Iftach looked at the f-15 in front of him and immediately pulled the joystick back, raised the head of the machine and began to climb upwards.

As soon as I entered the low altitude, the red light of the radar alarm receiver flashed on the dashboard of Iftach's instrument panel, and the anxious voice of the onboard computer came from the headphones: "You have been locked, you have been locked."

Bahari's voice came from the headphones: "The radar interference pod is turned on immediately, the formation turns right as a whole, and gets free from locking."

The four MiG-25s are the mantis stalking the cicada, and the oriole is behind them. They are already following the rear of the formation. The header is the genius pilot of Iraq, "Sky Falcon" Reyer.

The MiG-25 was imported from the Soviet Union in the spring of 1980. It is an important interceptor for the Soviet Union's national air defense. It is a high-altitude high-speed interceptor fighter developed by the Migoyang Design Bureau of the Soviet Union. It is the world's first fighter with a speed of more than Mach 3. The nickname given by NATO is "Fox Bat".

In order to overcome the thermal effect caused by huge speed, the MiG-25 did not use the common aluminum alloy structure, but used a lot of stainless steel. With the advantage of speed, the MiG-25 had a very advantage in interception operations. At this time, the MiG-21 and MiG-23 were still coming slowly behind.

However, the MiG-25's avionics system is very backward. The effect is very poor when using electronic tubes on a large scale. The most obvious thing is that the high-power radar lacks the ability to downward vision and downward shooting. The MiG-25's power is so high that it is said that it can roast a rabbit 300 meters away, and the search distance is 100 kilometers. However, the resolution is not very high, especially when the other party is at a low altitude, and the ground echo will turn the radar screen into snowflakes, but the target cannot be found.

Therefore, Reyer has been following the other party. Due to the lack of early warning aircraft support, Bahari did not notice that in just a few minutes, a group of uninvited guests were followed.

When Reyer saw the other party pulling up from a low altitude, he was immediately overjoyed and ordered the formation: "The radar will turn on and lock it immediately."

The MiG-25 carries 2 R-40r semi-active radar-guided medium-range air-to-air missiles, 2 R-40t infrared-guided medium-range air-to-air missiles and 2 R-60-process infrared air-to-air missiles. Although the main target of the R-40 is slow bombers, Reyer does not want to give up the opportunity and orders the formation to attack with medium-range missiles.

At this time, Baha was facing a very troublesome situation. The opponent's plane appeared behind him and had locked his own formation. Then, the next moment, missiles would definitely be launched. If his own formation turned around and fought, then, no matter whether he could repel these aircraft, his formation would be bombarded into pieces by other fighter jets that had come. If he did not fight, his formation would be beaten, only beaten, and not fight back. This is not the style of the Israeli Air Force.

Suddenly, a rapid alarm sound came from the headphones, and the other party had already launched a missile!

"The radar interference pod is opened immediately, the formation turns right as a whole, and gets locked out." Bahari didn't have time to say anything else, so he got rid of this attack first.

The formation immediately changed direction and released electromagnetic interference at the same time, especially the two two-seat F-15s, with an additional weapon operator, and immediately activated the interference pod mounted under the wings.

As long as the direction of the aircraft is consistent with the direction of the opponent's radar beam, the opponent's radar will lose its target, and the missile that has been launched will not be able to find the target due to unlocking, and eventually destroy itself.

It's useless, the missile is still approaching quickly.

The interference pod mounted under the wing had less than half the power of the MiG-25 radar, and it could not interfere with the opponent's radar at all, and the steering just now was not successful.

In an emergency, Bahari had a sudden whim and seemed to be able to return to the low altitude.

"All formations, dive immediately."

The Soviet Union's electronic technology is not good, which is famous. Otherwise, why didn't the other party lock in its own formation when it was low just now? As soon as it was pulled up, it was attacked. Now, it can only go back to the low altitude.

This is also very dangerous. If this move does not work, it will fly to a low altitude and lose its altitude advantage. It will be very disadvantageous to the MiG-21 that comes later, especially the MiG-21, which is very good at low altitude fighting.

The light spots on the Reyer radar screen disappeared, and he wanted to smash the radar screen with his gloved hands. This kind of radar is really ineffective. If you persist for two more seconds, the missile will enter the autonomous flight process and there will be no need for the help of airborne radar.

Medium-range air-to-air missiles do not need to be ignored after being launched. They have to use radars on carriers to illuminate targets for two-thirds of the distance to provide the missile with data. Now, the radar targets have disappeared, and these missiles have lost the targets.

The first round of volley shots did not result in the shooting.

The opponent must have entered a low altitude. The MiG-25 is an excellent high-altitude high-speed interceptor and is not suitable for fighting with the opponent at a low altitude. Reyer had to order the formation to slow down and wait for the opponent to appear again. Otherwise, the slow MiG-21 and MiG-23 will be solved.
