"Two targets were found, the target in the back is chasing the target in front." Lieutenant Gus said. At this time, the powerful awg-9 radar was radiating the most powerful electromagnetic waves, and the target was clearly captured at the farthest distance, more than 200 kilometers.
"Use the radar immediately to lock the enemy aircraft behind." Nathan said.
Now that all this has been confirmed, Nathan calmed down instead. Yes, it didn't matter if he came to this chaotic time and space. Now he has a chance.
Shoot down the plane behind and kill it together with Andre inside. Then, this time and space still belongs to him. Nathan is still full of confidence in it. Now that he is here, he is to change everything. Coming.
"Lone Ranger, if we launch a missile, it may cause a misfire." Lieutenant Guth's thinking is still very clear.
Now they are locked in, and they can launch after they get closer. Only the Phoenix can get the distance of hundreds of kilometers.
However, the Phoenix is an active radar guided missile.
The active radar seeker is a favorite of many military fans in later generations, and it is also the favorite of pilots. Ordinary seekers, such as sparrows, are semi-active. The missile has only a receiving device and cannot emit electromagnetic waves. It depends on the carrier aircraft. The radar wave illuminates to provide the signal.
It is as if the airborne radar is a big flashlight, illuminating the target in front, and then the reflected light waves reach the shooter's eyes.
Before hitting the target, the carrier aircraft cannot move. If it cannot continue to provide radiation, the missile that is shot out will become an uncontrolled rocket. During this period, the aircraft is also the most dangerous, and it is easy to be attacked.
For active radar missiles, the seeker can both launch and receive electromagnetic waves, which means that the carrier can be separated after launching.
In fact, limited by the seeker’s own power, the active guidance distance is very short, no more than 20 kilometers, but this is a complete improvement after all. The later generations of aim-120 have an advantage over sparrows. it's here.
Most people have forgotten that in the 1970s, the Phoenix missile had already achieved active radar guidance.
This is an advantage and a disadvantage.
Active radar guidance allows the carrier aircraft to maneuver and evade after launch, but at the same time, it also means that at the end of the flight, it is no longer under the control of the carrier aircraft. In the battlefield where the enemy and the enemy interact, it must be launched carefully, so later generations American fighter pilots sometimes regret that they only carried aim-120 instead of sparrows.
Now Gus is worried about this risk.
The aircraft in front is here to take refuge in one’s own side. Flying at ultra-low altitude must have its helplessness. For example, the fuel is not enough, but the aircraft chasing by the rear can catch up at the highest speed. In this case, the distance between the two parties will get closer and closer. What if I make a mistake
"Then let them know how good we are." Nathan said: "Only by locking the aircraft behind can we provide opportunities for the aircraft in front."
Since I came here, of course I wouldn't let Belenko's defect happen accidentally, and I had to protect him.
"Understand, adjust to pdstt mode." Gus just asked a little bit, in fact, he already started when he asked. Once in the sky, as a radar operator, he must always listen to the commands of the pilot in front of him. After all, air combat Occurrence is measured in seconds, and every second of slowness may bring catastrophic consequences.
If the distance is found to be the farthest, it must be the pds mode, but this mode can only track and cannot launch an attack. If you want to launch an attack, the farthest mode is pdstt, pulse Doppler single target tracking. In this mode, the range of typical bomber targets is more than 200 kilometers; the tracking distance of fighter-type targets, such as the MiG-25, is 167 kilometers.
Now, as the radar was adjusted, Gus began to operate the radar, trapping the bright spot of the pursuit behind, and following his operation, the powerful monopulse radar wave rushed to the MiG- 25. The other party's radar warning receiver was triggered in an instant.
Different radar waves trigger different sounds, and the awg-9 radar of the Tomcat fighter triggers a "meow, meow" sound, um, it's like a cat calling.
Now, hearing the sound in the headset, Andre was taken aback, Tomcat fighter
No, there are all f-4 fighters on the opposite island. Didn’t you fight each other last time? Now, why did the Tomcat fighter suddenly appear
Moreover, the other party also locked himself
It's really hateful. The other party locked himself in to help Belenko in front of him to defect. At the same time, two island country fighters were approaching quickly. As long as he hesitated, he would not be able to complete the mission!
How to do
Keep firing!
At this time, he is getting closer and closer to the previous Belenko, so he does not plan to use the special r-40 missile at all. This kind of missile has a large volume and weight, and only has a medium-range interceptor. Ability, limited overload, unable to conduct close combat.
In particular, Belenko in front is also familiar with this missile, and he can easily avoid it.
In addition to the r-40, Andre’s fighter also carries the latest r-60. This missile is the latest development of the Pennant Machinery Manufacturing Design Bureau. It was put into production in 1973 and entered service in 1975. NATO named the aa-8 "Aphid". .
It has excellent maneuverability. The whole missile is small and exquisite. The four rectangular fixed stabilizing wings in the front and the trapezoidal tail ensure the flight stability of the missile. The four movable triangular wings in the front section of the missile body are used to control the flight direction of the missile. . Small and flexible, just to perform hunting missions.
Andre began to prepare for the launch methodically, and at this moment, a voice from the rear came from the headset: "031, pay attention, the other party has launched a missile!"
Nathan is quite urgent.
"The other party didn't get rid of it." Lieutenant Guth's voice came from the headset. Nathan looked at the display in front of him. This can show the contents of the radar screen at the back. Now, the two air force f-4 fighters, He was still flying slowly towards the target, and when he flew past, Belenko was already dead.
Must be as early as possible!
Air combat is calculated in seconds.
"Launch missiles now!" Nathan yelled: "Two salvos!"
When shooting targets, they shoot separately. Six shots can even hit six targets. However, in actual combat, in order to increase the hit rate, two volleys are necessary.
Nathan was also anxious. At this time, there was no time to ask the commander behind him. One step later, they would explode Belenko's chrysanthemums.
