Chapter 560 The Battle of the Falcon
The f-16 was flying, and the Pito air intake duct sucked in large vents of air and stuffed it into the engine. After that, high-temperature and high-pressure gas was sprayed out, pushing the fighter forward.
Wearing an oxygen mask, pilot Cruise turned his head and looked at the side. Thanks to the good bubble cockpit and wide-open view, he saw his wingman flying on one side, and the four of them would perform the same bombing mission.
At this moment, the sound of the e-3 early warning aircraft behind the headphones suddenly came from the headphones: "Hong Fruit Tree Squadron, Hong Fruit Tree Squadron, please note that four MiG-25 fighter jets are flying in your direction!"
MiG-25! This kind of killing fighter has always been an indelible shadow in the minds of American pilots! That huge speed and unrivalled height seem to be the king in the sky.
I really didn't expect that our side actually encountered the MiG-25 fighter jet!
Of course they will encounter it! Because their goal is to bomb the base where MiG-25 is located, and they will naturally get in touch first!
What should we do? These F-16 fighters are all attack missions, with several tons of bombs hanging under the wings, and only the wing tips of the Rattlesnake missiles are self-defense! If you want to avoid these high-altitude kings, you can only throw away the bombs and run away quickly!
Throwing bombs before you reach the battlefield is a complete cowardly behavior, and you will be ridiculed by countless people when you go back!
"Red Fruit Tree Squadron, continue to maintain the course, the Paladin Squadron is supporting quickly." Later, the sound in the headphones finally calmed down Cruise.
The Paladin Squadron, all the F-15 fighters, will definitely help them intercept those hateful MiG-25 fighters! The heart disease problem of the current F-15 fighters has been completely solved. Although this fighter does not have the excellent performance of high-altitude and high-speed, its combat capabilities are excellent and can also get rid of the missiles launched by the Soviet fighters!
Although ultra-long-range missiles sound awesome, this big missile has not strong maneuverable overload capabilities, and its own Immortal Missile has only 17g overload. As long as you choose the right method, it is easy to avoid such giant missiles like Death.
Cruise recalled the original training. The key to avoiding missiles was to fly head-on, and then suddenly parted when he was about to arrive. In this way, even a 50g overloaded missile would definitely not be able to keep up and could only lose the target!
At this moment, suddenly, the sound of an omnidirectional radar warning receiver came from the headphones, which was locked!
Damn Soviets! At this moment, Cruise's heart trembled. Damn, the Soviet MiG-25 fighter jet is still eighty kilometers away from him. How could he lock himself in this situation?
He didn't want to think too much, the sound of the alarm receiver in the headset became sharp, and the other party had already launched a missile!
"Be careful, throw away the bomb and get rid of it by maneuvering!" Although it is embarrassing to lose the bomb, it is better than losing your life!
Under the wings, bombs fell one by one, and the body lightened. Cruise then turned on the engine's afterburner and began to climb desperately.
The premise of energy maneuvering is to have energy! For single-engine light fighter jets, if you accumulate energy, you have to climb upwards! The air at high altitude is thin and the resistance is greater!
At this moment, the warning from the early warning aircraft in the rear also came. The Paladin squadron was still sixty kilometers away and could not effectively attack the Soviet fighter jets. Get rid of it immediately!
Although the Sparrow missile carried by the f-15 has a maximum range of 40 kilometers, it will be launched over 30 kilometers or even 20 kilometers to have a hit rate.
The Soviets, eighty kilometers away, called them with missiles!
Cruise, who was climbing sharply, listened to the sound of the radar alarm receiver in the headphones becoming louder and louder, and the radar was also quickly refreshing the signal ahead. Just when the missile appeared in his field of vision, Cruise gritted his teeth, pulled the rod, and pushed the rudder to the bottom. The huge overload made his eyes dark, but he was absolutely sure that he had avoided the incoming missile!
The training level of the US Air Force is not comparable to that of the backward Iranian Air Force. It has first-class technology!
"Boom!" At this moment, a huge explosion shattered Cruise's fantasy. He couldn't help but burst into countless fucks in his heart. The Soviets were too shameless and actually greeted him with two missiles between them!
Cruise dodged the first missile, and the violent maneuvering caused his energy to be lost very quickly. In the field of vision of the second missile, Cruise's plane was a slow target!
The most important thing is that Cruise has no early warning! If he knew it was two missiles, even if he was fighting black sight, he would continue to do maneuvering, even if he was diving with a large overload and then suddenly pulled up!
The early warning aircraft at the rear is not omnipotent. In such large-scale air strikes, the early warning aircraft also operates at full power.
I can only blame myself for my bad life! All of this was Cruise's brief thought, and then the entire fireball surrounded him!
The 47-kilogram high-explosion warhead is extremely powerful. The entire F-16 fighter was directly destroyed in the air and turned into a fire!
The target disappears! Reyer quickly adjusts the onboard radar and uses the scanning mode to refresh the situation in the surrounding airspace.
The r-33 is a semi-active radar-guided missile. When used, this kind of missile must be used to keep the carrier radar on the target, otherwise the target will be lost. The MiG-31 uses phased array radar, which can gather some beams for the missile to guide it, and at the same time separate other beams to scan the airspace. However, the MiG-25 now uses flat-panel gap radar, so it is not so advanced.
Just as he refreshed the surrounding airspace, Reyer secretly said in his heart that 4 new targets have appeared on the left front of his side, a distance of 30 kilometers!
"Tianxiao called the first squadron, four targets, 330 directions, and thirty distances." Reyer shouted to other pilots in his squadron in the radio, then pushed the operating lever and met!
The MiG-25 has only four pylons, and two R-33 missiles occupy the two pylons on the inside. On the composite pylons outside, there are two R-60 missiles each!
Although the MiG-25 is a high-altitude high-speed fighter, the MiG-25's high-thrust engine gives it an unrivaled energy advantage! Especially now, after burning more than half of the fuel, the MiG-25's thrust-to-weight ratio has exceeded 1. General Andre can make great achievements with the MiG-25, so he can do it himself!
