Dominate South Asia

Two Mi-8 helicopters were flying on the ground. The battle on the front line was tense, and they were transporting ammunition to the front line.

After the Cuban Air Force entered Angola, in addition to the MiG-21 fighters, there were also a large number of Mi-8 and Mi-17 helicopters. Using helicopters to transport supplies was a very normal tactic of the Cuban army.

After seeing the Mi-8 flying close to the ground, the Mirage fleet immediately dived down. The squadron leader, Major Rankin, prepared a Magic 550 air-to-air missile to kill one of the helicopters.

At this moment, on the ground, a tracked launcher, a triple-mounted missile, aimed at the sky, and then ignited, two missiles fired at the same time, rushing towards Major Rankin.

Seeing the flames on the ground, Major Rankin was shocked. He immediately rolled sideways to avoid the attack on the ground. Unfortunately, his maneuver was useless. The missile flew into the sky and blew his plane into pieces.

The other three Mirages immediately prepared to retreat, and just after leaving the range of the opponent's anti-aircraft missile position, several Cuban Air Force MiG-23 fighters appeared in the sky.

The Cuban Air Force will never fail! They drove MiG-23 fighters and rushed up to fight with the Mirage fleet.

Two Mirage 3s were shot down, only one escaped, and the MiG-23 fighter was unscathed.

The sky will fall back into the hands of the Cuban Air Force again!

The news of the Air Force's defeat was transmitted back to South Africa, and Rick knew that it was time for him to go out!

After learning that the ship had sunk, the Soviet Union urgently mobilized transport planes to transport SAM-6 anti-aircraft missiles to Angola, and the Cuban missile soldiers used Mi-8 helicopters as bait, set up an ambush, and killed the South African Air Force fighters.

MiG-23. Rick often fought with this kind of fighter in Afghanistan. Although it seems very advanced, it is still just a second-generation aircraft!

What needs to be guarded against should be the SAM-6 missiles on the ground!

Rick immediately made the assignment, two Tomcat fighters and two A-7 attack aircraft. Formed an attack team to completely strangle the Cuban missile forces on the ground!

Is the SAM-6 missile very advanced? In front of the Shrike missile, it can only eat shit!

If the Cuban Air Force's MiG-23 comes to attack, then use Tomcat fighters to deal with them!

Following Rick's order, five hunting formations took off and entered the Angolan battlefield.

On the ground, UNITA's troops were still attacking, launching an attack on the coastal city of Benguela in the north of Lubango. They wanted to take down the city.

In the air, the battle also started again.

Just when Rick's hunting squadron flew to the northern part of Angola, the SAM-6 missiles on the ground. The radar was turned on, ready to capture the fighters in the sky.

The radar of the Tomcat fighter, using the ground mode, accurately found the opponent's missile position, and the two A-7 attack aircraft lowered their altitude and broke in from low altitude.

A standard SAM-6 missile company is the smallest independent combat unit. It is equipped with a command vehicle, a 1S91 guidance and illumination radar with a tracked chassis, four triple tracked missile launchers, four 6X6 driven ZIL131 trucks, each carrying three spare missiles, and a crane arm at the rear of the truck for re-hoisting after the missile is launched, as well as a power supply vehicle and a fuel supply vehicle.

Such a missile position is also huge, and the radar with synthetic aperture function has clearly displayed the situation on the ground on the radar screen.

As long as you don't get close to the opponent's killing radius, you won't be threatened. Two Tomcat fighters are rotating in the sky, 30 kilometers away from the SAM-6 missile position.

"Damn, why don't these South African Air Force come over." On the ground. The Cuban missile soldier couldn't help cursing.

"It seems that we have to rely on Mi-8 to lead them."

"Well. Report to the top, please ask Mi-8 to come over." The missile company commander shouted.

As he was talking, the missile soldier found the echo on the screen.

"Oh no, there is an anti-radiation missile!"

"Quick, shut down, maneuver!" said the commander of the missile company.

Whether it is a missile vehicle or a radar vehicle, they are all installed on the TELAR universal chassis, with six pairs of road wheels, driving wheels at the back, no load-bearing wheels, a fully welded body, a crew compartment at the front, and an engine compartment at the back. There are air filtration equipment, overpressure nuclear, biological and chemical protection, and infrared night vision equipment. This chassis is tracked and has good maneuverability.

Although the maneuverability is affected when the antenna is deployed, they must move faster at a critical moment.

A puff of black smoke came out from the rear, the tracks began to push quickly, and the vehicle body followed to move on the position.

Unless it is an improved SAM-11, each launch vehicle has a search and illumination radar to pose a threat to the attacking aircraft. Otherwise, as long as the anti-radiation missile is used to kill their radar, they will have no means of retaliation.

The performance of the Shrike missile is relatively backward. It must be aimed at the enemy's radar, that is, within the main beam of the radar beam. This limits the missile's attack and makes it easy to be discovered by the enemy's echo. Therefore, the Shrike missile attack often does not work against experienced Cuban missile soldiers.

Although it does not work, the Shrike missile attack still makes them turn off the radar, which is a good opportunity!

Turning off the radar means that the entire missile company is useless, and the Maverick ground-to-ground missiles carried by the A-7 can calmly launch an attack!

The weather was clear, and the TV-guided Maverick missiles followed the radar vehicle closely.

"Boom!" The Mavericks attacking from above could easily penetrate the head of the T-72, not to mention this radar vehicle. It penetrated from the top to the inside of the vehicle body before exploding. In the explosion, the welded armored vehicle was broken into pieces and caught fire.

Then, one Maverick after another launched attacks on other missile launchers, command vehicles, trucks... and as the missiles fell, one armored vehicle after another exploded and caught fire.

Finally, facing the tanker, the pilot of the A-7 attack aircraft skillfully lowered the nose of the aircraft and used the machine gun to make the tanker explode and catch fire.

A missile company was easily destroyed on the ground. The A-7 pilot completed his mission and immediately fled at low altitude. In the middle altitude, the air battle began.

A formation of four MiG-23 fighters rushed up and launched an attack on the two Tomcat fighters escorting in the air.

Under the wings of the MiG-23, there are R-23 missiles. Although the range is a bit short, it is already a medium-range missile. Compared with the Tomcat fighter, it also has variable swept wings. Moreover, the Cuban Air Force that drives it has a fearless spirit.

However, the manually controlled swept wing MiG-23 fighter needs to be operated skillfully. Changing the wing sweep angle once requires seven or eight actions.

The Cuban Air Force has not been equipped with this fighter for a long time.

After scanning this fighter with radar, the Tomcat fighter immediately pushed the nose and entered the low altitude. The mountainous area below allowed them to hide intact, and the radar scanned the high altitude and could easily search for the target.

As for the MiG-23, its radar cannot be used on the ground at all. It is a mess and it is impossible to search for useful signals.

After entering low altitude, the Tomcat fighter immediately launched AIM-7M missiles. Although the low altitude made the range shorter, they launched at a distance of 20 kilometers, but the MiG-23 in the air was already in a situation where they could only be beaten and could not fight back.

Moreover, the tracking and scanning method made the MiG-23's Siren 3 radar warning receiver unable to reach the triggering conditions at all. The MiG-23 fleet did not know that the Tomcat fighter had launched missiles. They began to lower their heads and turn those buttons to change the wing sweep angle and prepare to enter low altitude.

"Boom!" A MiG-23 was hit and turned into a fireball in the sky. It was not until this time that they realized that they were attacked!

Before they could react, another MiG-23 was also hit. The pilot operated the shaking fighter and flew back.

The remaining two MiG-23s dived down from the air and adjusted the wing sweep angle. At low altitude, they will have excellent combat capabilities!

However, when they rushed to the low altitude, they found that the situation was not good. The wings of the two Tomcat fighters were retracted to the back, which was so cool. Then, they began to climb quickly and started to go to high altitude again!

The MiG-23 team, which had lost two teammates, saw that the Tomcat fighter was about to escape, and immediately changed the sweep angle again and sprinted upward.

It's not that easy to escape!

They completed the task of changing the sweep angle with great difficulty, remembering the order of the buttons, and completed the action of changing the sweep angle without looking with their eyes.

Climb, climb! Relying on the powerful performance of the turbojet engine, they caught up with the Tomcat fighter. At this time, the altitude had exceeded 15,000.

Just when they wanted to lock with the R-60 missile, they found that the two Tomcat fighters in front began to dive down again.

Diving, they were even less afraid. At this time, they pushed the nose of the plane and dived down under huge overload. It seemed as if there were thousands of pounds on their arms. They no longer had the strength to change the sweep angle of the wings.

When diving to a height of one thousand meters, Rick skillfully pulled the control stick, the fighter plane leveled, and the swept wings on both sides turned forward like a magic trick, becoming the minimum sweep angle most suitable for low-altitude combat.

With a skillful roll, he completed the counterattack on the two MiG-23 fighters behind in an incredibly small turning radius.

The MiG-23 also began to rotate, but the sweep angle of the wing was at the maximum state. To turn a corner, they needed a radius of several thousand meters.

In this way, they watched the Tomcat fighter in front of them disappear from their sight in a flash, and had already run to their back hemisphere.

The Sidewinder missile was also skillfully locked and fired! (To be continued ~^~)
