"Bastard!"

Arslan had already aimed at the runway. He looked at the missiles mounted on the two wings. They were two P-60AA-8 short-range air-to-air missiles. Besides those two, there were two P-23TAA under the air intake. The -7 medium-range air-to-air missile uses radio command center guidance and passive infrared terminal guidance. Although it is called a medium-range air-to-air missile, its range is only 15 kilometers, and the guidance accuracy is not high. However, it is enough for a sneak attack from the rear.

Due to the variable-sweep wing, no more pylons can be installed under the wing, otherwise the missile will rub against the fuselage when sprinting at a large sweep angle.

Time to put those missiles to work!Arslan pushed the throttle lever to the maximum and turned on the afterburner.

Immediately, there was a violent push back, and Arslan leaned against the seat, watching the scenes on both sides getting faster and faster.

For maximum lift, the wings were fixed by him at a minimum, 18 degrees.

Glancing at the airspeed indicator, which was at 300, he pulled up on the stick.

The Lasher raised his head so high, and pierced the sky.

"The Flying Tiger has already taken off and is preparing to sail south at low altitude. Please let the blue sky guide me to the correct interception point." Arslan said.

"Hurry up and come back to me, kid, otherwise, I won't be able to keep you, so I have to report to my superiors." Tusker said eagerly, what a pity, he was on duty today, and such a mess happened, who arranged for this kid to prepare for battle today? On duty?In a hurry, he didn't have time to say a code name, so he really wanted to scold him!

"The Flying Tiger has aligned its course to 2-1-1, ready to intercept at low altitude and high speed." Arslan said leisurely on the radio.

At this time, another excited voice was heard: "By Allah, this is the fighter!"

The light spots on the radar suddenly became faster.

This guy actually wants to turn on the afterburner and fly at supersonic speed?Tusker felt dizzy.

"Supersonic flight is not allowed at low altitudes. I will guide you immediately. According to the cruise speed of Mach 0.8, adjust the course to 2-1-2. After 10 minutes, you will encounter pandas." In order to prevent this guy from harming the people on the ground People, Tusker finally gave in.

"Heading 2-1-1 is correct. I didn't intercept the panda head-on, but circled behind the panda's buttocks. Therefore, it is estimated that the contact will be 3 minutes longer, and the contact will be made in 23 minutes." Arslan has already calculated the time.

You already know, what do you want me to guide you for?Tasker said: "Take the Air Force Command and report the disobedience of Lieutenant Arslan.

ps: Thank you "Cangye Flying Dragon" for the reward!

Chapter 68 Take aim, Panda!

Chapter 68 Take aim, Panda! ——

Anti order?This is not the first time for Arslan. He is not afraid at all. A pilot should have this kind of arrogance. What is there to be afraid of if he can become the master of the sky?Especially this time, he was going to challenge the authority of the panda, so he felt even more excited:.

The Air Force, like the Israeli Air Force, should be aggressive and bold. Use me in the first battle, and use me to win!The Air Force is the sharp knife among all national defense forces.

In order to quickly reach the combat zone, the wing's sweep angle was adjusted to the maximum, 74 degrees, which is very conducive to rapid impact. Just now, the afterburner was turned on briefly, allowing him to experience the addiction of high speed at low altitude, but then Although Arslan wanted to reach the war zone quickly, he also knew that supersonic flight at low altitude would be a terrifying thing for the people on the ground. The shock wave generated by breaking through the sound barrier would blow the room Lift the top up.Therefore, supersonic flight is strictly prohibited at low altitudes.It's just that Arslan likes that feeling, the speed and the passion are together.

Arslan looked down at the crude navigation equipment, hoping to be guided by the ground radar in a while.He had already warmed up the missile, ready to turn on the flogger's crude radar at any time, ready to guide the missile.

"Feihu, the Iranian plane has entered the No. 4 airspace, and it is 150 kilometers away from you. Please turn eighty degrees to the right, heading 1-8-7, and pay attention to visually spot the other party." The voice of the control tower came from the radio .

"Understood, Lan Tian." Arslan immediately adjusted his course and prepared to fight.

A distance of 150 kilometers is a matter of ten minutes for a fast-flying plane.

The most exciting battle is about to begin!

The MiG-23 that first entered the Iraqi Air Force has very backward electronic equipment, including only a simple set of vor (very high frequency omnidirectional beacon) ils (instrument landing system) navigation equipment, uhf (ultra high frequency) radio station and communication with Egypt, The sro-3iff (identification friend or foe) transponder compatible with the same type of aircraft in Libya does not even have a radar warning receiver, let alone a radar receiver. (The f equipment is exactly the same, and it has shrunk significantly compared to the ones used by the Soviet army. The only useful thing for the Iraqi Air Force is this set of IFF devices, so as to prevent misfires. In the war with Israel in 1973, most of the aircraft lost by Iraq were not Instead of being shot down by Israel, it was hit by a Syrian SAM missile.

It was not until later, under the strong reaction of the Iraqi Air Force, that the second batch of more advanced MiG-23bns was equipped with a simplified version of the "High-altitude Skylark" J-band radar, with a search range of 85 kilometers and a tracking distance of 54 kilometers.A laser rangefinder, "Siren" 3 radar warning system, and Doppler navigation equipment are installed under the nose.

Arslan is driving such a MiG-23. In fact, he is very dissatisfied with this kind of aircraft. Two years ago, he went to France with a delegation to investigate, and he was full of praise for the excellent avionics of the legal aircraft. It's just that the Mirage F1 that Iraq had just imported from France was not equipped with his squadron.

Although dissatisfied, Arslan never gave up, and his greatest wish was to give full play to the potential of the weapon in his hand.

Arslan knew that he had only one chance, and if he missed a hit, he had to use the outstanding acceleration performance of the MiG-23 to escape quickly and compete with the panda in maneuvering flight, which was obviously courting death.

The Iranian attack formation is still swaggeringly flying at an altitude of 9000 meters. Although it has already entered the territory of Iraq, as the four panda formations in front turned on the radar, all the surrounding Iraqi planes have already fled and the airspace has been cleared. Clean, the only thing they have to face is the attack of ground anti-aircraft artillery fire.Especially Baghdad, which is about to be attacked, where there are troublesome SAM anti-aircraft missiles waiting for them.

Therefore, when there were still 4000 kilometers away from Baghdad, the formation descended to [-] meters, and prepared to lower the height again to penetrate it at low altitude.

The pandas began to climb to an altitude of [-] meters, ready to shoot down the Iraqi planes that dared to take off at any time. The sky here is their back garden!

If they complete half a week of defense and then turn back, the radar will detect an Iraqi plane raiding from a low altitude. All the radars are installed in the big nose in front of the plane, that is to say, any Fighters can only find targets within a 150-degree fan-shaped area in front of them.Limited by the rotation mechanism of the mechanical radar, it is impossible to make the radar antenna at right angles to the fuselage.Therefore, the panda in charge of air defense has not found any suspicious targets in the air for the time being.

They were careful not to approach Baghdad's surface-to-air missile defense sector.

"Feihu, pay attention, the enemy planes are divided into two batches, four pandas that are climbing, and a dozen ground attack planes that are descending. The distance is [-] kilometers, and the direction is one o'clock. Prepare to accelerate and turn on the radar." The voices of the ground personnel came, providing Arslan with the most information.

Waiting is now this time!Arslan knew that although he could not see the distant plane with his naked eyes, the enemy plane was right in front of him, and the moment to shoot down the enemy plane was now!

Arslan turned on the afterburner and began to impact at full speed. Supersonic flight is not allowed at low altitudes?To hell!

Before launching the missile, the carrier aircraft must try to reach the maximum speed. In this way, the speed of the carrier aircraft can be obtained before the missile occurs, and the range can be increased.

Arslan didn't want to turn on the radar. Once he turned it on, his target would be exposed. He had to wait until the speed accelerated to the maximum, and in the shortest time, turn on the radar, lock on to the target, and launch missiles!

The target of the battle, choose the high-altitude panda, or the low-altitude aircraft?Arslan chose the panda without hesitation.

First of all, the purpose of his anti-order take-off was to shoot down a Panda and take credit for it. He didn’t like those other planes. Secondly, the radar of the MiG 23 was too simple, and those low-flying attack planes had already entered Among the clutter on the ground, it couldn't be filtered out at all, even if he wanted to lock it, there was nothing he could do.

It is his wish to sneak attack on pandas!

The body began to shake, Arslan looked down, and the speed was already close to the limit of low-altitude flight.

He pulled up the nose, and then, turned on the radar.

Immediately, four bright spots flashed on the radar screen, which were the four pandas flying at high altitude.At this time, the distance between them was only twelve kilometers, which was within the range of the P-23.

Two p-23s, salvo!Arslan chose his own attack mode.

There is only one chance for a sneak attack. Two missiles are aimed at one target.How many rubles a missile is worth is not his concern. Since it is hung on his plane, it is for him to use.

Under the belly of the aircraft, two missiles emitted thick smoke, one in front of the other, left the launch pad, and rushed towards the panda in the sky.

Chapter 69 rolls sideways!

Chapter 69 rolls sideways! ——

& The missile adopts a three-wing aerodynamic layout:. The main wing of "The Fastest Search" adopts a trapezoidal wing with a large sweep angle. There are 4 canard rudders in front of the main wing, and 4 auxiliary control tail rudders behind the main wing.Some are like a girl in a skirt. Because the control surface is well positioned and large, the maneuverability of the missile is better. However, limited by the Soviet Union's solid rocket technology, the range of the missile is not far.

A missile is actually equivalent to a rocket with guidance capabilities. When it is ignited, the solid fuel engine burns all the fuel within a dozen seconds, and then relies on inertia to fly without power.

"It uses radio command correction plus inertial mid-guidance and passive infrared terminal guidance. The front end of the infrared seeker is a glass cap, which has relatively high resistance. It is not as good as the radar-type pointed head. The resistance is small. Under the same solid engine, The range of the radar type is much higher.

The range of the gun is only fifteen kilometers, which is the maximum range. As long as the opponent maneuvers a little, they will be out of reach. Therefore, launching the p-23 at twelve kilometers is a more correct choice.
