Chapter 313 The Missile Goes Blind

The Soviets were like martial arts masters, who had nothing but martial arts skills and wanted to fight the enemy. Unfortunately, the enemy was an army, which did not get close at all. They killed the martial arts masters with their formations and bows and arrows.

The two walls of Tomcats moved back and forth like waves. After the long-range missiles were finished, the medium-range missiles came up!

In theory, the Su-27 was equipped with R-27 medium-range missiles, which was no worse than the Sparrow. The problem was that they were scared just now and dared not turn on the fire control radar again!

They didn't know that the missiles coming this time were all radar-guided missiles, not anti-radiation missiles.

The Phoenix missile was heavy and had an overload of less than 10G, while the Sparrow missile was light and had a maximum overload of 30G. As long as the target did not escape the radar illumination of the carrier aircraft, the mature Sparrow missile would rarely be unlocked.

In the Gulf War, the Sparrow missile created an impressive record, and it was exactly the same model as the Sparrow missile used by Pakistan at that time.

Vlasolovich used all his strength to avoid the two Sparrow missiles fired at him, but others were not as lucky as him. The remaining four Su-27 fighters were shot down again. This time, most pilots had the opportunity to parachute.

If it had not been for the first time when they were hit by the missiles with the opponent's anti-radiation seeker, the Su-27 fleet should have been able to keep at least half of them in the missile exchange between the two sides, and then rely on the medium-range R27 and the close-range R73 to achieve the result of shooting down.

But now, there is only one left of the 50 fighters at the start. This kind of loss is something Vlasolovich can't bear anyway.

He was very angry, and his anger inspired his endless fighting spirit. At this time. He could already see the fighters on the opposite side, the Tomcat fleet lined up in a straight line.

Fight, fight! Vlasolovich pulled the joystick to gain the height advantage, and then prepared to dive down from the sky, relying on the advantage of the R73 missile to shoot down the enemy plane!

"042, engage me!" Hussein shouted on the radio: "The rest of the fighters, use Sparrow missiles. Shoot down the remaining enemy planes!"

At this time, the second wave of Phoenix missiles had been launched. The pilots of the MiG-29 fleet on the opposite side were all experienced veterans. Even so, only half of the pilots shook off the missiles and half of the fighters were hit.

This batch of Tomcat fighters that launched Phoenix missiles did not start to retreat like Hussein's fleet just now. At this time. The two walls are already on the same plane, but at different heights. They have all completed the launch preparations for the Sparrow missiles. After the early warning aircraft quickly assigned the shooting targets, they began to prepare for the launch.

The Sparrow missiles of Hussein's fleet are all normal medium-range missiles, while the Sparrow missiles of the second fleet are all anti-radiation seeker models.

In this way, no matter whether this batch of MiG-29 fleets are using radar to guide their medium-range missiles or not, or flying silently, they are all under the absolute attack of the Tomcat fighters.

With sufficient military aid from the United States, the Sparrow missiles were fired in pairs against a target, and they could not kill the Soviets!

While the other fighters were firing missiles, Hussein and his wingman had already turned on the afterburner. The wings swept back to the end and began to climb upward.

Opposite them was the Su-27 that was flying over!

The close-range combat missiles carried by both sides had the ability to attack head-on, so. At a distance of ten kilometers, both sides fired a missile at the opposite side.

The AIM-9M missile flew quickly towards the opposite side, and its seeker firmly locked onto the opponent's fighter. It was the latest close-range combat missile. Once it was locked, the target would never escape!

It was not just luck, but more importantly, opportunity. In the air battle just now, Vlasolovich had already thrown off four missiles fired at him, and he had precisely grasped the timing.

The only option to avoid the missile flying head-on is to fly towards it. When you are about to be hit, you can get rid of it by relying on the excellent maneuverability of the fighter! Because the field of view of the opponent's seeker is not that wide, as long as you leave the field of view of the seeker, you will get rid of it.

There is only one chance!

In Vlasolovich's pupils, there is only the flying missile. He pressed the infrared bait release button, and beautiful and brilliant fireworks lit up on the side of his fuselage. Then, he pulled the nose of the aircraft suddenly, and the fighter began to climb vertically, and then turned on the afterburner.

This pit fighter, after the speed approached 0.8 Mach, the overload was limited, so he did not accelerate just now, and the speed of the fighter has been hovering around 0.6 Mach. Now, he successfully made this high overload maneuver.

The AIM-9M missile flew past the side of his fuselage again.

He flattened the nose of the aircraft and watched whether the opponent was hit by the missile launched by his side. He was confident in this R-73 missile.

After all, the R-73 missile's seeker can see everything within a 60-degree angle of the central axis in front, so even if the opponent, like himself, relied on the last-second maneuver to pass by, it was impossible, and he was shot down, no suspense.

However, when he flattened the nose of the plane, he saw a scene that he couldn't believe.

The fighter he locked on immediately rolled, turned, and fled backwards after launching the missile!

There was no point in fleeing backwards, unless it was a fighter like the MiG-25, which flew faster than the missile.

Moreover, after turning, the hot tail nozzle was facing the missile, and it was even more impossible for the missile to unlock.

And within these few seconds, the missile that flew over seemed to become a headless fly, lost its course, and suddenly fell down.

Damn, the missile malfunctioned! Those ground crews did not carefully check when mounting the missile! Don’t they know that a faulty missile is murder?

Vlasolovich certainly didn’t know that this was not a missile malfunction, but a killer weapon of the Pakistan Air Force!

Just after discovering that the other party launched a missile, Hussein pulled the fighter plane and began to move backwards, facing the chrysanthemum to the opposite side, and the radar officer in the rear cabin began to operate nervously.

When the switch was turned on, the power of the entire cockpit seemed to be suddenly interrupted. The power of that abnormal xenon lamp was too high!

The power must be large, otherwise how can it burn through the R-73's seeker? When the light of the xenon lamp shone on the missile, the single-phase infrared scanner felt a temperature of tens of thousands of degrees, and all the sensing components immediately smoked, just like a laser blinding weapon! If the missile could speak and move at this time, it would definitely cover its eyes and scream. Ah, I can't see, it hurts!

Without the seeker, the missile is an uncontrolled rocket.

Just as Hussein turned to get rid of the missile, his wingman had continued to move forward and entered the dogfight stage with the opponent.

The Su-27 has an excellent aerodynamic layout and a large engine thrust, so after the two sides entered the dogfight head-on, Vlasolovich immediately pulled the lever and began to climb up.

Climbing is a matter of thrust! The thrust-to-weight ratio of the Su-27 exceeds 1, and it can climb up effortlessly. Although the Tomcat fighter has been replaced with a new engine, the overall thrust-to-weight ratio is less than 1, so comparing climbing with it can only be courting death.

The one with insufficient thrust will fall first, while the one with sufficient thrust will roll down and catch up with the fighter in front, and be stabbed into the hot anus by the missile of the opponent.

The two Tomcat fighters will naturally not be fooled. When the Su-27 began to climb, the two fighters just continued to fly level, and the wing sweep angle became the smallest. From the high-speed sprint state just now, it became a low-speed fighter. When its wings were all flat, even if the target was a propeller plane, it could engage in combat.

So, the Su-27 performed alone. Through the rearview mirror, seeing that there was no fighter following, the pilot knew that he could not do this. He pushed the nose and began to dive down. This speed brought about the continuous secretion of adrenaline, and he felt his blood surging.

The speed soon exceeded Mach 1 and continued to increase.

Altitude is converted into speed, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. In dogfighting, the most important thing is energy!

When he dived down, the accumulated energy was enough for him to perform a high overload maneuver and then kill the opponent!

The helmet sight was shaking, and he locked a target during the dive.

Press the switch, and another R-73 missile rushed up with a whistle.

When the two Tomcat fighters found that the Su-27 dived down, they immediately left quickly in two directions.

Sure enough, they were scared! Want to escape, can you escape the pursuit of the R-73 missile?

After launching the missile, Vlasolovich pulled the joystick back and began to level the plane.

Damn overload limit! Vlasolovich wanted to release it manually, but the leveling action made him turn a large arc to achieve it.

An R-73 had just been launched, and the enemy plane would definitely not escape, so he pushed the joystick and began to chase another Tomcat fighter.

Close combat is about who is braver!

The escaper gave him a chrysanthemum, which is the most advantageous shooting position!

He did not look at the results of the R-73 missile. When the missile whizzed past, it suddenly went blind. At this time, all of Vlasolovich's attention was on the slow-moving Tomcat fighter in front.

Can't you transform? At this time, why don't you fold up the swept wings and sprint quickly? Vlasolovich despised him in his heart and began to use the helmet sight to lock the opponent.

At this time, the opponent was unwilling to be locked and began to roll and turn.

Vlasolovich followed the pressure stick and rolled. (To be continued ~^~)
