Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Fighting for Life
Forty-eight fighter jets in a squadron shot one 2 at each of the twenty-four F-22a, ensuring that each enemy aircraft was attacked by four missiles.
This time, the 2 used by the Volunteer Army were also different.
The general 2 is an active radar-guided medium-range air-to-air missile, which is similar to the US Aim-12oc. In fact, 2 has a deep connection with the Aim-12oc. In fact, 2 is driven from the US Aim-7f as the basis. However, xing cannot meet the design indicators and does not have large-scale equipment. On this basis, 2 is driven from the aerodynamic layout, which is very similar to the Aim-7f, and the Aim-12o is also related to the Aim-7f. From the appearance alone, 2 is very similar to the Aim-12o in its early models, but is subject to rocket motives and electronic equipment, and is larger in size.
But the two used now are passive radar guided missiles.
Compared with active radar guidance, the difference between passive radar guided missiles is only on the seeker, that is, there is no radar launcher, and a radar receiver with higher sensitivity is used.
As long as the target continues to produce electromagnetic waves of a certain frequency, the missile can hit.
To this end, after forty-eight fighter jets fired missiles, the two electronic fighters did not stop working and continued to illuminate the F-22a fleet with fire-controlled radar.
However, the range of 2 is not farther than the aim-12oc and much shorter than the aim-12od.
Before the J and J group launched missiles, the f-22a group on the east fired the missiles, and then the f-22a group on the west fired the missiles.
Without the need for electronic fighter warnings, the radar warning aircraft on the fighter reminded the pilot.
The enemy planes have launched missiles, but the j and j groups have not evacuated.
It’s not that the pilot does not want to evade, but that Guan Yunshan, who is responsible for the front line command, is not allowed to evade.
The radar alarm machine kept buzzing, indicating that the F-22a-emitting Aim-12od uses continuous wave guidance or radio relay guidance, rather than inertial relay guidance.
This is the experience summarized by the US military in previous air combat.
Although the Aim-12od uses a solid rocket ramming integrated motor, with a power range of up to 120 kilometers, and the inescapable area for head-on attack is more than 60 kilometers, the fighter jets of the Volunteer Army will definitely maneuver to escape from the missile's attack range. If inertial relay guidance is adopted, the missile can only fly along the set line and cannot pursue enemy aircraft before entering the active attack stage. Only by using continuous wave relay guidance or radio command relay guidance can the missile be controlled by the fighter jet.
Both of these relay guidance methods require continuous illumination of targets with radar.
If radio relay guidance is used and the support of early warning aircraft is obtained, the fighter can turn off the fire control radar and rely on the target data provided by the early warning aircraft to guide the missile to the enemy aircraft.
Without early warning aircraft, fighter jets can only use fire control radar to track enemy aircraft.
At this time, if the attacked fighter aircraft maneuvered and evaded, the f-22a aircraft group would definitely disperse the pursuit, and the fire control radar of the electronic fighter continuously illuminates at most two batches of f-22a. The unirradiated f-22a will not continue to emit enemy-we-en-identification signals.
That is to say, the 2 that starts shooting will throw away the attack target.
There will definitely be many j and j shot down by aim-12od, but this will not affect the attack effect. Passive radar-guided 2 does not require fighter guidance.
Yan Yingbo and other volunteer pilots could only pray, 2 shot down f-22a as soon as possible.
At this time, the US pilot did not know that the danger was approaching.
Although the current Volunteer Fighters did not evade maneuver after firing missiles, which puzzled the US pilots who had been fighting for more than a month and often fought with the Volunteer Fighters, in their eyes, the situation was very favorable. The Volunteer Fighters did not evade maneuver, and the probability of being shot down by two Aim-12ods was more than 95%. For a single fighter, it was almost 100%.
No matter what the enemy plane wants to do, it is absolutely right to shoot down the enemy plane.
One minute and twenty seconds later, the twelve js in the front were attacked. Although at the last moment, the twelve js carried out high overload maneuvers and two experienced pilots flew out nine g overloads, the maneuverability of the fighter jets was far inferior to that of the over-air-to-air missiles. When evasion was made, the missiles had entered the active attack stage. All the twelve fighters were hit by missiles, seven of which were hit by two missiles, and none of the seven pilots survived. In the end, only three pilots successfully parachute to escape.
Fortunately, the following are areas controlled by the People's Army.
Next, the battle situation is still one-sided.
The second team J was attacked ten seconds later, and only the leader's plane dived in time and used the lofty mountains on the Gaima Plateau to avoid the pursuit of aim-12od. The remaining eleven were shot down by missiles, five pilots were killed, and six pilots ejected in time to escape.
The advantages of the US military will be used up by this time.
Before the third team J was attacked, 2 shot to the west arrived first.
According to the US military's combat records, before being attacked, neither the radar warning aircraft nor the missile warning aircraft on the F-22a issued an alarm and was attacked without warning. Because all the twelve pilots were killed, the US military was unable to confirm whether the pilot saw the incoming missile.
It's no wonder, because the f-22a's I-E-Identifier's radioactive antenna is on the back, less than two meters away from the cockpit.
If the passive braking accuracy of 2 is not too poor, the explosion point should be near the cockpit. In addition, 2 attacks from above the fighter plane, so the final flight is above Mach 4. No matter how good the eyes of the US pilots are, it is difficult to see the flying missiles.
Immediately afterwards, the f-22a aircraft fleet located to the west was also attacked by missiles.
Because the Aim-12od was fired first, when attacked, twelve F-second batch of air-to-air missiles were prepared.
Like the f-22a machine group on the east side, the attack came silently.
According to the only surviving US pilot, he first saw a nearby friend plane hit by a missile, and then found that his fighter plane was also hit.
It must be admitted that the pilot was very lucky.
After the 2's fragmented warhead exploded, it almost swept across the front fuselage, leaving dozens of holes in the canopy cover, but no shrapnel hit the pilot.
Unfortunately, the US pilots parachuted about 70 kilometers southwest of the river border, and soon after they took the 6th.
At this time, j and the last team J are also in trouble.
Although Yan Yingbo ignored Guan Yunshan's opposition and asked the aircraft to evacuate and avoid it, it was still a little late. After only a few seconds, the Aim-12od, which automatically turned to inertial guidance, entered the active attack stage.
Yan Yingbo's landline was at the end, and before the missile approached, he had lowered the altitude to 1,500 meters.
Without much effort, Yan Yingbo got rid of the aim-12od that bit him.
Because it is located backward and is carrying an electronic interference pod and an air-to-air bait pod, the other eleven Js have also escaped the US military's missiles.
The J Group was not so lucky. When evading, three fighter jets were shot down on the spot, two were injured, one crashed on its way back, and the other was forced to make an emergency landing outside the Jiangjie area.
