"Di, Di..." Inside the headset, a sharp alarm sounded.
In later generations, radar warning receivers can provide sound reminders. There will be a nervous voice from a woman to remind them that they are locked, but the current electronic equipment is still very backward. This alarm sound is enough to remind everyone.
"We are locked, and that American fighter has locked us!" Habasf was about to exclaim, "No, we have to turn, otherwise we will be shot down!"
The performance of the current missile is not very stable. When fighting a fighter, the missile can easily miss the target. However, for a slow bomber, the missile is a big killer. It is too difficult for the bomber to avoid the missile.
That day, Sen drove a Boeing 707 to dodge the missile because it was a Soviet missile, which was technologically backward. If it were a Sparrow missile, he would not be able to dodge it at all.
"Why, let's continue flying." Victor was not afraid.
In the air confrontation, it is a customary habit to use radar to lock the opponent. Once the radar is used, it is telling the opponent that I can kill you. You go quickly!
Americans often do this, and Lao Maozi prefers to use bumps.
Now, Habasf is already in a panic when it is locked by radar, but Victor doesn't care, lock it and lock it, you just fire!
It's just to scare people. In the world, there are few news about the downing of passenger planes. This is a great risk. Now, we are a passenger plane!
If the opponent locks in, he will quickly turn around. Doesn't it just reveal the fact that he is a bomber
Passenger aircraft may not have radar warning receivers.
Keep flying!
As the captain, Victor has absolute authority, he ordered to move on, then you must move on!
The "airliner" in front did not respond at all when faced with the radar lock. Now, it was Nathan's turn to wonder. Is it really an ordinary airliner? Otherwise, in the face of radar lock, can you remain indifferent
"Nathan, is it really a passenger plane?" behind Steve couldn't help asking, he was really confused.
"Passenger plane? Have you ever seen a passenger plane with a tail turret?" Nathan said, "I saw the tail of the plane, and there was another person who just looked at me."
In World War II, bombers played a big role, and at the same time, they were easy to be attacked. Therefore, bombers armed themselves as hedgehogs, with machine guns in all directions, the back, the tail, and even the abdomen.
After the Second World War, missiles played more and more roles, but bombers from the 1950s like Tu-95 still had a certain number of self-defense cannons. For example, its tail had a twin-mounted 23mm. Although the turret was controlled by radar, the rear part was still the cabin of the organic gunner. After takeoff, the gunner stayed alone in the rear pressurized cabin until landing.
Although the bomber looks very big, in the air, the speed of both sides is very fast. When the situation is turned around, it is not clear at all. Now, the F-4 is slowly catching up at the tail, and Nathan finally sees it. Up.
Behind that, there is a gunner. How could this be a civil airliner
"Since the radar lock can't make it shake, let's just give it a taste." Nathan said: "Steve, prepare a sparrow."
Prepare a sparrow? Hearing what Nathan said, Steve was shocked: "Nathan, we are training now, not actual combat. Although there are sparrows on our plane, we can't launch them casually. One is hundreds of thousands. U.S. dollars!"
According to the current currency value, a sparrow missile is worth hundreds of thousands. On the battlefield, air combat is burning money. Many times four sparrows are launched together, but it is actual combat. Now it is training. They don't have live ammunition. s project.
Steve knows Nathan, and Nathan is most afraid of raising money. Now, as long as these missiles are expensive, in general, Nathan doesn't do it.
However, this time is different.
"We are now intercepting Soviet bombers. This is actual combat." Nathan said, "What if this bomber carries a nuclear warhead? We are saving the entire country. We have a good reason to open fire. Don't worry, let's go anyway. It’s the air force’s account. We’re the navy. If we get off the plane, we will slip away. At most they will send the bill to our boss."
What are you afraid of? It may be happy to consume the air force’s missiles. Moreover, it is an emergency now.
"Okay." Steve agreed. "Prepare a sparrow."
Activate the seeker and provide data from the onboard computer. The missile is ready in a few seconds.
"Fire!" As Nathan shouted, his finger pressed the launch button.
Under the wing, the fire was blazing, and a sparrow missile dragged the tongue of flames and flew out toward the front. The white smoke behind it enveloped half of the wing.
The missile launch scene is also very spectacular, and at this time, it is almost the same as the situation of shooting with a live ammunition. The target is right in front of you, flying smoothly, which is simply too easy.
When the missile flies out, it almost means it will hit.
At this time, behind the Tu-95, the tail gunner's eyes were full of fear, his pupils were enlarged, and his words were almost unfavorable: "Missile, they launched a missile!"
The minimum range of the Sparrow missile is only 1,500 meters, and in a clear sky, it is no problem to look for tens of kilometers. The gunner looked at the fighter following behind, and he was already anxious, but now, with his own eyes Seeing the other party launching a missile from a position of a few kilometers or so, he was even more filled with fear.
missile!
Sparrow missiles dragged their tongues of flames and came towards Tu-95, watching it to kill one's own side, that was the most terrifying.
At the same time, a small bright spot suddenly appeared on the radar screen on the ground.
"Oh, the young eagle launched a missile!" The radar soldier was also incredible: "The young eagle launched a missile on the passenger plane!"
"Falcon, Falcon, who allowed you to fire?" General Richard grabbed the microphone and roared into it.
In fact, the U.S. Air Force manages pilots relatively freely. Pilots have a lot of autonomy, but this definitely does not include firing on passenger planes. Without permission from the ground, firing on passenger planes can go to a military court!
In particular, it was a Soviet passenger plane, in case it caused a military conflict, or even a world war... General Richard shuddered when he thought of this. Who on earth proposed this damn exchange plan? Let These naval aviation soldiers come to the air force to harm people!
There is no echo in the air, and the missile is still heading towards the "airliner"! (End of this chapter)
