Chapter 70 Interception Failure

The Blackbird's steering is very slow, but it only flies at a speed of Mach 3.2, and the steering requires a radius of hundreds of kilometers. However, Lieutenant Colonel Olmst is very confident because, on the face-to-face interception, the missile needs to respond quickly enough!

Two missiles passed from a distance. At such speed, two highlights that were like meteors flashed by.

Two more!

In just a few seconds, two other missiles followed, across a bright arc and detonated the warhead several hundred meters away.

The launch weight of the R-40T is nearly half a ton, and the warhead has nearly 40 kilograms. Countless broken rod warheads are flying in the air. Unfortunately, the fragments of these warheads do not catch up with the blackbird that accelerates to Mach 3.5!

Look, no missile can hit the Blackbird!

The R-40T missile that was flying head-on, the seeker had locked the black bird with a hot infrared feature, but the control circuit inside the bullet could not keep up with the black bird's speed! When it was transmitted to the tail and the control rudder surface, it was half a beat slower. In this way, I thought that if I could move the tail, I could jump to the black bird and then detonate the warhead. At this high speed, it would not be an accurate impact. As long as I approached a distance of more than ten meters, the warhead would detonate. Even if a broken rod hit the black bird, it could smash the black bird out of control and crash!

Unfortunately, the circuit control is too slow! The relative speed of Mach 8 can only be described as lightning-like speed. It was said to be late, but it was fast at that time, but it still didn't explode!

If the response of the rudder surface is more sensitive, the control system's reaction time is faster, or a tail-chasing attack may work!

It only took a few seconds, as if it was a century. Although it was not the first time the reconnaissance system officer in the rear cabin performed a mission, he still felt sweat on his back and finally got rid of the missiles!

The MiG-25 flew up to the black bird with the missile in front, and the blue target appeared clearly in Andre's vision.

The SR-71 black bird was originally black, but when it flew at a speed of more than Mach 3, the surface would turn light blue due to friction with the air. It was like a ball of blue flame, disappearing from Andre's vision.

Interception failed!

The interception in the past was the basic MiG-25P model. Now Andre is driving an improved fighter jet like the MiG-25PD, and the interception is still failed!

The sound of the ground guide returning from the headphones came from the headphones, and Andrei drove the fighter plane back to the Sokolovka base.

"The order from the Air Defense Command has been issued, so that we must shoot the black birds no matter what we think of! Even if we hit, we must knock the Americans down!" Colonel Ivanov, the leader of the 513th Regiment, said to the pilots of the entire regiment.

The Americans are so arrogant. They used to be just at night, but now they come to investigate during the day and in the day! As the Soviet Union's national air defense force, it is simply too embarrassing that their side has no choice but to do anything!

"Our existing weapons and equipment cannot achieve the purpose of intercepting the black bird." Just now, Andrei took off his flight suit similar to the high-altitude compensation suit, and sat on the side of the conference table and said his thoughts.

In his previous life, he was a pilot and had some understanding of the equipment of World Aviation. When the public information introduced the MiG-25, it was said that the Soviets' fighter jets with three times the speed of sound could follow the blackbird and supervise the American reconnaissance. At that time, Andre was a little puzzled. The American blackbird reconnaissance aircraft invaded the Soviet airspace, and the Soviets were still very friendly and followed behind to supervise? Grandma, according to the Soviet temper, she had already attacked!

Now Andrei understood that the Soviets were gilding on their faces because the Soviets could not shoot the Blackbird reconnaissance plane! So they could only follow behind their butt!

Not only the Blackbird could not be shot down, but the Soviets' own MiG-25R reconnaissance aircraft still had no record of being shot down during the mission. Now, attacking fighter jets with a speed of three times the speed of sound is indeed beyond the current technical level.

Due to the inherent defects of radio command remote control and semi-active radar search guidance, its accuracy can no longer attack such targets that move more than 600 meters in 1 second. At a relatively close distance, the shooting window is too narrow, and due to the low maneuverability of the missile, it cannot effectively attack. As for air-to-air missiles with infrared seekers, the same is true. The maneuverability of the missile at this time is not as good as the 35G to 50G overloads in later generations, and the electronic performance of the missile is too poor, so it is impossible to effectively launch an attack!

Since becoming a hero of the Soviet Union, Andre has gained the respect of the entire regiment. Moreover, in the previous few actions, Andre has always been bold and bold. This time, everyone thought that Andre would definitely beat the black bird down when he went to heaven, but now, the black bird still flew by with great power!

When Ivanov heard Andre's words, he frowned and said to Andre: "Andre, do we really have no other way?"

"Yes!" Andre said firmly: "Our electronic technology is not yet able to hit the target of triple the sound speed, but we can take local measures to transform my fighter jets and install two hanging cannons!"

At the current level, if you use missiles to kill the black bird, you will definitely have no hope. The only thing you can rely on is the air cannon!

Although the Soviet Union was influenced by the universal theory of missiles, it did not remove the air cannons on the second-generation aircraft like the West. The MiG-21 and MiG-23 all used air cannons as their main weapons, but the MiG-25 did not load air cannons.

This has something to do with the combat target. The MiG-21 and MiG-23 are fighter jets, and their mission is to eliminate the enemy's fighter jets. The Soviets' electronic technology and high-efficiency rocket engine technology are immature, so they must continue to use weapons such as air cannons. However, the United States, relying on the advancement of electronic technology, believed that air cannons were useless. As a result, the Americans suffered a great loss in the Vietnam War.

However, the MiG-25 is an interceptor, and its mission is to quickly and efficiently intercept enemy bombers. Using missile attacks is the most suitable choice. The cannon is not equipped to increase its weight in vain and it is useless.

But now, fighting black birds and air cannons is a good choice!

When everyone heard Andre's words, they were stunned and used a navigation cannon?

"Andre, this seems not to work?" Ivanov couldn't help denying it when he heard Andre's words.
