It is not easy for a missile to hit a missile.
The first is the speed issue. Later supersonic anti-ship missiles are considered to be a weapon against aircraft carriers. The key issue is the fast speed and the short time left for the opponent's reaction.
The second is the flight trajectory. Taking anti-ship missiles as an example, S maneuvers will be carried out at the end to increase the difficulty of enemy defense.
And now, the situation is favorable for the Phoenix missile.
Although the target was a missile that was too small to be smaller, it was still captured by the AWG-9 radar behind. The missile-borne SQ-26 guidance system provided guidance signals to the Phoenix missile, and only the top radar operation Only officials can do it.
At the same time, the R-60 missile can directly fly forward and hit the target. Therefore, it will never do maneuver evasive actions and consume its precious energy for no reason.
The problem is the Phoenix missile.
Now, even though it has received the target, the Phoenix missile moves slowly.
In order to increase the range, its aerodynamic layout is optimized to reduce aerodynamic drag, resulting in a small overload. Now, the movement of the projectile is a bit sluggish.
Originally, its goal was a slow, large bomber. It is absolutely difficult for it to deal with small air-to-air missiles or to change its trajectory midway.
I saw the first Phoenix missile, diving down from the sky, getting bigger and bigger in Andrei's line of sight, and finally, suddenly diving down from in front of him.
Nothing was hitting.
Following that, the second Phoenix missile also dived down.
At this time, Andre's eyes were contemptuous. For this kind of big missile, Andre didn't feel too much risk. The overload was only 17G, and he could easily get rid of it.
At the same time, he was not afraid of the flying Sparrow missiles. The performance of the Sparrow missiles of this era was still poor, and it was not considered stable until the AIM-7M.
Moreover, the flying phoenix didn't seem to be here to beat him.
The second Phoenix missile continued to dive down, trying to hit the R-60 missile. At this time, the R-60 missile was less than 500 meters away from the target.
"Boom!" This Phoenix missile actually detonated!
In fact, it is still several meters away from the R-60 missile, but for a missile with a 61 kg Mk82 fragmentation warhead, it does not need to directly collide, so it uses a combination of radio and infrared. The explosive fuse, now, just rubbing the edge of the R-60 missile, exploded!
Its warhead is quite terrifying, terrible enough to blast the target into scum!
In history, the Phoenix missile has no record. It can only be embarrassing. It is a mistake. However, absolutely no one dares to ignore the existence of the Phoenix missile. Its warhead is the largest in this era.
How big is it? Just compare it with the R-60. The total weight of the R-60 missile is only 45 kilograms, while the warhead of the Phoenix missile has a terrible 61 kilograms!
The broken rod warhead flew out and quickly spread to the surrounding space of more than ten meters. Even Andre had to immediately pull the operating rod and turn to the side, for fear that his engine had sucked in the terrible broken rod.
Even a fighter like the MiG-25 will definitely be destroyed by a Phoenix, let alone the R-60 pocket missile!
Andrei kept his original course just now, wanting to see Belenko was hit visually, but now he knew it was impossible, he couldn't see it, because the missile was blown out.
Within the explosion range of the Phoenix missile, nothing can survive. The small R-60 missile is like a dangling leaf in a storm. It rolled in the air and then fell.
The element of luck is too great. When Lieutenant Gus saw the bright spots disappear from the screen, he immediately cried out excitedly: "Hit, hit!"
In terms of cost, our own two Phoenixes are far more than the other's R-60, but the account cannot be calculated like this, our own at least kept the previous MiG-25!
As long as the MiG-25 in front can safely fly over and fly to your own base, your side will win.
At this time, the crisis temporarily belongs to Andre.
Just after Andre pulled the fighter plane and left the attacking position, he would never have a second chance to attack. After all, the four Sparrow missiles had already flown towards him.
Andre was not afraid. He turned sideways skillfully, and with a relaxed turn, all the opponent’s radars were unlocked. The timing was quite clever. He used the pulse Doppler effect to successfully turn himself into a mess. Wave, let the radar processing system of the F-4 fighter filter out.
Although the operation is very simple, but only a few of the most elite pilots can do it!
When the locked voice in the headset disappeared, Andre’s field of vision showed two F-4 ghost fighters. After the opponent entered the line of sight, it was difficult for Andre to deal with the defected Belenko. Up.
How to do
Was it just watching Belenko’s plane defect
I don't have time to pursue it. If I pursue it now, the two oncoming F-4 fighters will launch Sidewinder missiles and enter a fighting state with them.
However, if Belenko really defected, the losses to the Soviets would be too great!
While Andre was still hesitating, another voice came from the headset: "032, shoot down Belenko with all your strength, and I will deal with the rest!"
Hearing this, Andre's heart was overjoyed, the head of the team is here!
The commander of the 513th regiment, Ivanov, felt unsafe just after the Andrei plane took off, so he also took off, a hundred kilometers behind Andrei.
And now, he has discovered Andre’s embarrassment, and now, even if he sacrificed Andre, he must shoot down Belenko and this scum!
Kozhdub in the rear was confused and confused, and now Ivanov began to operate his radar while giving orders to Andrei.
The Tornado A radar was activated with the most powerful power, and Ivanov even felt a heat in the cockpit.
At this time, Ivanov did not hesitate to start the afterburner, he wanted to rush to the battlefield quickly, and he wanted to create opportunities for his subordinates. At the same time, he is also creating opportunities for launching missiles. The greater the speed of the carrier, the farther the missile will fly.
On the screen, bright spots finally began to appear. Ivanov skillfully locked the target. As long as there is the sound of the radar warning receiver, would the other party dare to continue pestering Andrei
Soon, the sound of the sharp radar warning receiver rang in the ears of the ghost fighter pilots. When they heard the sound, they were suddenly shocked, no, they were locked! (End of this chapter)
