Chapter 426 Tomcat's Interception
The air defense alarm echoed over the entire Tehran Air Force Base, and the pilots were running quickly towards their fighter planes, ready to take off to meet the enemy.
The two Tomcat fighter jets took off first. Most of the time, they stayed on the ground. Because of the lack of parts, they were reluctant to take off. However, in today's situation, they will exert their greatest power!
Each Tomcat fighter aircraft is equipped with an Immortal Missile. This powerful missile that once feared the Iraqi Air Force has not had many stocks, so it usually only carries one at most. Moreover, now the situation is urgent. If you want to carry one more, you may be destroyed on the ground before you take off.
Abbas was driving his Tomcat fighter jet and felt a lot of pressure on his shoulders. It is said that there were more than 20 enemy aircraft coming this time. Are they sure to attack them all?
However, the Iranian Air Force must not be embarrassed! Even if it is shot down by the other side, it will kill the Iraqi plane! A hot flame began to appear in Abbas's eyes. He was fighting for Iran and for the great leader Khomeini!
The huge tomcat spread its wings, the engine opened and afterwards, the tomcat spread its wings and soared into the sky.
Behind him, the wingman Akbarri also took off, but Akbarri was in a different mood and he was already tired of the war.
Every time he took off, fewer people could come back. The brothers who went to Isfahan suffered even greater losses. He could not see the future. Although he was driving a Tomcat fighter jet, the Iraqis became more and more braver as they fought, and they themselves were always beaten. Their spirit had lost.
In fact, in the Iranian army, this negative atmosphere has begun to spread. If an army and a country always defeat the war, then their citizens will inevitably be pessimistic. This is undoubtedly true. On the contrary, Iraq is full of momentum.
"Bluebird, keep up, you're slowing down." The sound of a long-distance camera came from the headphones.
The Bluebird is Akbarri's call code.
"Yes." Akbarri pushed the accelerator and accelerated, and then updated.
The two quickly climbed to five thousand meters. At the same time, the radar operator behind the long aircraft Abbas turned on the radar and began to monitor the airspace within nearly 200 kilometers around.
The awg9 radar signal begins to appear in the sky.
At this time, Adnan's two formations had completed the mission of launching missiles and began to return. Arslan's formation flew in front to provide escort for the bombing formations in the rear.
"Report, the suspicious targets are divided into three batches, the first batch has ten targets. The height is very close to the ground, only less than 100 meters. The distance is 100 kilometers, and the second batch of eight targets. At a height of more than 300 meters above the ground, the distance is 12 targets, the height is about 500 meters, and the distance is 170 kilometers." The radar officer in the rear cabin looked at the light spots on the screen and reported to Abbas.
In fact, the first batch was originally sixteen targets, but the Red Bird 2 missile flew too low. It was already very good that the awg9 radar could search these targets from low altitude.
It was indeed a large aircraft group! With nearly thirty targets, the Iraqi Air Force seemed to have made great efforts. Abbas asked: "Have the fighter jets behind us followed?"
"The J-7 formation is taking off, and the F4 formation is urgently slapping bullets."
The f4 fighter jet has no combat readiness, so it only carries two close-range rattlesnake missiles. To perform air interception missions, it also needs to carve medium-range Sparrow Air-to-air missiles. The ground crew is nervously loading them, so they have not taken off yet.
It seems that it can only rely on itself! Abbas began to analyze that the first batch of targets was too low, the Immortal Missile could not attack at all, and the second batch of targets was too low, and there were only the third batch of targets, which was barely reachable.
Launch the Immortal Birds first and attack the third batch of targets! Generally speaking, the opponent's bomber group will fly at the end, and the bomber group is the most threatening.
"Note that the tomcat radar signal appears in front of you." Arslan informed the entire formation via radio. "Start up immediately and prepare for the battle."
Flying at low altitude is to conceal whereabouts. Now, with the radar signal of the Tomcat fighter, it means that it has been discovered by the other party. Therefore, what they need is to accelerate climbing, occupy altitude advantage, and prepare for air combat.
Although Arslan was shamelessly deceived by the Iranians last time, he thought he was shooting down a Tomcat fighter jet, but afterwards, it was just a J-7 fighter jet carrying a radar signal pod that could launch such fighter jets. In his shooting down record, another Tomcat fighter jet was missing. Because he changed the target assigned to him that time, he was seriously warned. Moreover, if it were not for this battle, it was very likely that he would have been transferred from the combat force. Any punishment would be possible, but he could not be transferred from the combat force! Arslan was honest this time.
The other party showed this radar signal. Is it a real Tomcat fighter or an electronic pod hanging again? Arslan felt that it is a high possibility that the former was because they attacked the capital of Iran. The only remaining Tomcat fighter jets in Iran were all arranged here. Their attack aircraft group was discovered. If the Iranian Tomcat fighter jets did not take off, it would be a bit abnormal.
Kill the Iranian tomcat! Arslan felt his blood boiling again. He was born to exist for war!
"The second batch of targets has begun to climb higher." While preparing to launch the Immortal Missile, the radar operator discovered the climbing of the second batch of targets.
"The original plan remains unchanged, and it is still necessary to attack two fighter jets in the third batch of targets." Abbas said. He knew very well that if the second batch of targets climbed higher, it must be the opponent's fighter jets to fight him. Then the one behind was definitely bombers. They needed to attack bombers in order to minimize the pressure on their air defense.
"Blue Bird, ready to launch the Immortal Bird missile to attack one of the third targets." Abbas informed the wingman.
"Blue Bird received." Akbarri replied, his fighter radar also turned on, locking one of the fighter jets.
The locked one happened to be the two 22 in the bombing formation behind. The targets of these two are very obvious. Figure 22 is a medium-range supersonic strategic bomber. The three-person crew member is Iraq's strategic aerial bombing force. It has a powerful ability to throw bombs and has a large size.
Moreover, like other Soviet military aircraft, this type of bomber did not have an omnidirectional radar warning receiver, and they did not notice that it was locked by Iran's Tomcat fighter jets directly in front of them.
They are still flying smoothly.
When climbing to a height of three thousand meters, Arslan turned on the radar, TWS mode, scanned the entire airspace. Suddenly, two highlights appeared on the radar screen in the lower left of his cockpit. They were two Iranian fighter jets. They were about 80 kilometers away from him.
"At six o'clock in the front, there were two enemy planes, preparing for medium-range bombs." Arslan said.
At this time, he found that two small highlights suddenly appeared next to the two highlights on the radar screen. The small highlights were moving quickly, and it must be that the other party launched a missile!
Moreover, the height of that highlight is constantly increasing, which is a typical battle method of immortals.
The other party launched the Immortal Missile Missile, so it must be the Iranian Tomcat fighter! Here, they finally met the Iranian Tomcat fighter.
"Note, turn on the afterburner acceleration, and I and I are ready to launch the attack target, and aircraft 3 and aircraft 4 are ready to launch the supplementary fire." Arslan said. "The rear formation should be aware that the enemy planes fired the Immortal Missiles to conduct steering evasion."
It is not clear who the two Immortal missiles attacked. In short, if the formation of our side did not receive the signal locked by the radar, it would not be ours. If the other side attacked the bomber in the rear, their way of protecting the bomber was to shoot down the tomcat before the Immortal attacked its own bomber!
So, on the one hand, he reminded the fighter jets in the rear to pay attention, and on the other hand, he began to fight with the Tomcat.
Arslan is very confident that now, the distance between the two sides has reached 60 kilometers. They are carrying the new Aim7f missile, which can be launched within 40 kilometers, while Iran is carrying the old Aim7e. This missile can only be launched at 30 kilometers to be effective.
These ten kilometers are their chance to win!
After receiving the order, the formation began to accelerate, and the distance between the two sides was approaching rapidly.
"The other side's second batch of fighter jets are approaching at high speed," said the radar operator.
At this time, the Immortal Missile they launched was flying in the sky. Although the Immortal Missile used an active seeker, which flew with a preset program in the first half, and the second half, the Active radar searched for the target itself, which could completely get rid of the constraints of the carrier aircraft, but if you want to successfully hit the target, the carrier aircraft radar must continue to illuminate the target and modify the flight trajectory of the Immortal from time to time according to the target's maneuver. Otherwise, when the Immortal Flying to about twenty kilometers, the bomb-loading radar can be turned on, the other party has no idea where it will fly.
Therefore, if they want the radar to hit the target, they have to use the radar to continue illuminate the target, which means they cannot use their medium-range Sparrow Air-to-air missiles to strike the approaching fighter jets, because Sparrows are semi-actively guided. When using Sparrows, the radar has to focus all their energy on the guided Sparrow missiles.
"Continue to guide the Immortal Birds." Abbas was very determined.
At this time, an alarm sound from the radar alarm came from the headphones, and they were locked by the other party!
At this time, Akbarri behind him no longer had the confidence of the former pride of heaven. Whether the immortal bird could hit it is secondary. If he no longer takes measures, he would definitely be hit!
Akbarri pulls the rod and starts rolling sideways. As long as he makes his flight direction perpendicular to the opponent's radar beam direction, he will free the opponent's lock. (..)
