PDS, pulse Doppler search. At this time, the AWG-9 can only obtain the target azimuth information, but no other parameters. In a word, it is used to see if there is a target in the 65-degree airspace ahead, nothing more; even if it is found The target can not launch an attack.
It is only used to illuminate the road, and at the same time, its discovery distance is also the farthest.
Although there is no other information, an experienced radar officer can still judge it, and estimate it based on the direction and speed of one's own side, the direction of the other party, and the distance moved by the light spot on the screen.
"We may not be able to set up an interception line before they arrive." Gus said.
They rushed to airspace No. 140, and then flew north, facing the MiG-25 that was flying. That was the best situation, but now, their route with the MiG-25 fleet is almost 90 degrees. At the angle, everyone flies towards the right angle together.
Since the MiG-25 was quite fast, it was not their turn to fly to the apex of the right angle, and the MiG-25 flew over.
How to do
"Attention 111 Squadron, prepare Phoenix missiles, aim at the target and fire!" Nathan yelled in the radio: "Bao Yang, is responsible for commanding this interception."
After that, Nathan pushed the joystick, and the fighter deviated from its original course and flew to the left.
Just when intercepting the helicopter, a Phoenix was used, and then it entered the line of sight, and the rattlesnake was able to handle it.
Now, every Tomcat fighter has almost one phoenix left, which happens to be capable of long-distance interception, and after the interception, they should return.
Except for the Phoenix, there is no other missile that can pose a threat to the high-speed MiG-25.
At the same time, their interception will also cause the MiG-25 to throw a rat trap, and maybe it will turn around and return.
But now, Nathan has left his own formation and handed over the squadron to the deputy captain. Of course, Nathan has more important things.
Stop the fish that slipped through the net!
Flying according to the current course, Nathan definitely can't do it, so he flies to the left, that is, to the southwest. The front of the course is his own early warning aircraft, so he might get the chance of frontal interception.
Because Nathan is walking a diagonal line.
Even if you can't get the chance of frontal interception in the end, you will have a closer range.
Nathan did not move with his own formation.
The main fighter must be left behind. After all, one's own interception will surely make the opponent throw a mouse, the sooner the better, there is no need to come all over, and what Nathan does is just a precaution in advance.
If it is the same as I expected, in that batch of fighters, I am afraid that there are MiG-31s mixed!
If only the MiG-25 is the case, it is useless to chase the AWACS, because the turbojet engine of the MiG-25 is quite fuel-consuming. He wanted to come over, so he could only drive the afterburner all the time, take off from Sakhalin Island and flew to Honshu. The island, I am afraid, is in the stage of running out of fuel, even if it can launch missiles to attack the early warning aircraft, it will not fly back.
At the same time, the missiles carried by the MiG-25 are not good enough. The range is too close to be able to play the role of an early warning aircraft. Only the MiG-31 is very powerful.
Will it be MiG-31 this time
Nathan's fighters left their formation and continued to sprint southwest, while the other fighters, as the speeds of the two sides continued to approach, quickly adjusted to the PDSTT mode, ready to launch the Phoenix.
Just when the radar beam turned into lock mode, it stimulated the radar warning receiver of the MiG-25 fleet.
"No, I'm locked out!"
"I'm locked too!"
Nine Tomcat fighters locked on nine targets. At this time, a noisy sound came from the radio. These locked ones didn't even say their call codes.
"038, report to lock the location source." Andre shouted over the radio.
After flying over Hokkaido, the radar of the rear base can no longer function. They can only rely on their own airborne radar to scan the airspace ahead. Although the phased array radar of the MiG-31 is powerful enough to The target in the airspace ahead is detected, but it can only scan the airspace ahead.
Those F-4 fleets have been thrown away by their own. At an altitude of 25,000 meters, F-4 can only look up at them to leave. Now, they are about to leave the sky over Hokkaido. At this time, they will be locked. Isn't it the batch of F-4 fighters
If it is them, there is no need to do any consideration. After all, the F-4 fighter can only fire sparrow bombs, which is not a threat to oneself.
However, it is not necessarily the case with the Tomcat.
"The 038 report, the location source is on our left, it's a Tomcat fighter." 038 is still very calm.
Only those who are locked can trigger their own airborne radar warning receivers. Now, although the Soviet Union is backward in technology, this kind of airborne warning receivers have also developed to omnidirectional receivers.
This kind of receiver has 4 broadband direction-finding antennas installed on the aircraft at 90 degrees to each other to receive the threat radar signal that illuminates the carrier aircraft to achieve 360-degree omni-directional warning.
Through a series of electronic system measurement, analysis and processing, technical data such as the working frequency band, signal amplitude, pulse width, pulse repetition frequency, antenna scanning characteristics and signal arrival direction of each threat radar are obtained, and warning signals are output.
Although it is impossible to use the database to compare like later generations to confirm that it was from the radar, the meowing sound in the headset can only be achieved by a kind of airplane.
Tomcat fighter, on your left side!
Hearing this news, Andre immediately issued an order: "The locked fighter, immediately maneuver to get rid of the lock, and the unlocked fighter, continue to fly with me."
At this moment, in his rear cabin, Colonel Fedotov, who was a radar officer for him, finally heard a voice: "The other party's early warning aircraft has been found, right in front of our route!"
During this time, Colonel Fedotov has been operating this cumbersome and cumbersome radar. Now, he finally found the shiny spot on the screen and found it!
The target this time is the American early warning aircraft! Even if this battle fails, as long as the American early warning aircraft can be defeated, he can still breathe out a bad breath!
"Attention, attention." Andre continued to give orders on the radio: "The remaining fighters, continue sprinting with me for fifty kilometers, and then return."
The other fighters are used for cover, and they are not equipped with R-33 missiles, so they will not intercept them at a long distance.
Therefore, if you continue to sprint for 50 kilometers, you can go back, otherwise, I am afraid that they will not have enough fuel!
At this moment, Colonel Fedotov suddenly spoke again: "There are four escort fighters, they are coming towards us!"
Escort fighter? That's great, it was delivered to the door! (End of this chapter)
