Chapter 314: Killing the Early Warning Aircraft

The overall performance of the Su-27 is advanced, but due to the drag of backward avionics, it has suffered from osteomalacia. Its transonic maneuverability and rolling rate are at the bottom among the third-generation aircraft, even worse than the second-generation aircraft!

Therefore, to deal with the Su-27, you must pull the opponent to the weak side. If you just follow the Su-27 to climb, it will definitely be a complete victory for the Su-27. This abnormal fighter can even turn the nose back and the tail forward to do a cobra.

Hussein was secretly delighted. This Soviet man was cunning enough and was definitely a first-class pilot who could dodge so many missiles. Unfortunately, he met me this time and he would die!

When the wings became straight, the Tomcat fighter had excellent maneuverability. When Hussein pressed the joystick and stepped on the rudder, the fighter began to roll.

The Su-27 behind followed the roll. Vlasolovich believed that he could lock the opponent with the helmet sight in just two seconds.

However, the opponent left his axis, and the angle became larger and larger. He suddenly cried out in his heart, "Oh no, I've been tricked!"

Horizontal maneuvers mainly compare the rolling rate. The rolling speed of the Tomcat fighter far exceeds that of the Su-27. In this way, the Tomcat fighter left Vlasolovich's sight during the horizontal circling of both sides.

Vlasolovich looked at the rearview mirror, his body twisted, and looked back, knowing that the Tomcat fighter had flown behind him.

Maneuver to get rid of it! Vlasolovich pushed the operating lever and made one maneuver after another. Unfortunately, in the eyes of the Tomcat fighter behind, this action had no second effect except losing energy.

An AIM-9M missile. It detached from the Tomcat fighter's rack and flew towards the Su-27.

"Boom!" The broken rod warhead accurately blew up one of the engines. The tail of the Su-27 was emitting thick smoke and the trajectory was crooked.

Vlasolovich in front was still trying to operate the fighter, hoping to fly back.

Unfortunately, the second missile flew again, and his tail was on fire, so Vlasolovich could only helplessly pull the ejection handle of the seat.

When the rocket engine pushed him out, he looked at the Tomcat fighter that was shooting at him with angry eyes.

"It seems that he is still not convinced." Hussein raised his middle finger in the cabin, watching the parachute bloom, Hussein drove the fighter, aimed at the top of the parachute, and turned on the afterburner.

"No!" Vlasolovich screamed, watching the plane fly over, driving a huge airflow. The parachute that had just bulged up immediately deflated.

Just as Hussein and his wingman were madly abusing the Su-27, fierce fighting continued on the battlefield.

Relying on the first wave of Phoenix missile attacks and the second wave of Sparrow air-to-air missile attacks, the MiG-29 fleet had been scattered, with seven or eight fighters remaining, and the two sides entered the close combat stage.

The Tomcat fleet had an absolute advantage.

The border between Iran and Afghanistan.

This is the Iranian Plateau, and the terrain is relatively flat at the junction of the two sides.

Two fighters flew along the border at a very low altitude, and the roar of the engine was heard far away. From the shape of the wings, you can tell that these are two Tomcat fighters.

Iran's main energy is focused on the battle with Iraq on the western front. In the sky above the eastern front, only the backward J-7 is flying, which is almost defenseless.

In Afghanistan, the Soviet Air Defense Force in the south discovered these two light spots. Thinking that the Iranian Air Force was patrolling along the border, they did not pay much attention. Soon, the two fighters disappeared.

Looking at the high mountains in the distance on both sides, the lead pilot Rahat was calm. This was a special attack mission!

These two Tomcat fighters only had two Phoenix missiles, two Sparrow bombs for self-defense and two Sidewinder missiles hanging under their bellies. This time, their main attack weapons were these two Phoenixes!

One of them is a conventional Phoenix guided by a semi-active radar, and the other is a Phoenix missile with a modified active guidance head!

At this time, the battle in northern Afghanistan was fierce, but here, it was still calm, just the calm before the storm!

These two Tomcat fighters are responsible for the most important task of this air battle, attacking the early warning aircraft!

For this air battle, the Soviets dispatched two early warning aircraft, which have been flying over Turkmenistan and have not entered northern Afghanistan. They are obviously afraid of being hit. If you attack directly from northern Afghanistan, you may be discovered by the opponent's early warning aircraft, so they must take a detour! Take off from the air base in southwest Pakistan, bypass the border between Iran and Afghanistan, and hit the Soviets from behind!

They continued to fly and entered the mountainous area in front.

Without the support of the early warning aircraft, the precious E-3 flew over northern Pakistan and could not take care of this place, so there were only two of them.

Along the preset route, the fighter was flying quickly.

"Attention, you are about to enter Turkmenistan, continue to lower the altitude." Rahat said on the radio.

"Got it." The wingman replied.

In the south of Turkmenistan, there are large areas of desert. Two A-50 early warning aircraft are flying over the desert.

The electronic equipment is fully turned on, and the heat generated makes the people in the cabin sweat. The air conditioning power has been adjusted to the maximum, but it still has little effect.

The heat did not make them retreat. Everyone stayed at their posts. No one expected that this would be the outcome! We are completely at a disadvantage!

Of course, there is still a chance to turn the tables! Now, the Tomcat fighters, long-range Phoenix missiles, and medium-range Sparrow missiles over Afghanistan have almost been consumed. Now they have entered close combat. As long as the third batch of MiG-29 fighters go up, they will definitely be able to kill a large number of Pakistani fighters!

The Pakistani Air Force is already at the end of its strength!

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, the early warning personnel continued to stare at the screen.

"Report, two bright spots were found in the rear." At this moment, an early warning personnel noticed the target.

"That's our fighter." The captain in charge just glanced and immediately said: "Pay attention to guide our MiG-29 fighter."

There was another snowflake on the screen, and another wave of interference came.

"Start anti-interference measures."

Inside the early warning aircraft, people were busy.

Two hundred kilometers away, two Tomcat fighters were still flying at low altitude.

"Turn on the afterburner, climb to a higher altitude, and prepare to launch missiles." Rahat said on the radio.

Following his order, the flames at the tails of the two Tomcat fighters became even hotter, the wings retracted to the back, and they climbed from a low altitude.

When launching missiles, the carrier aircraft must accelerate, so that the missiles can have an initial launch speed, which is conducive to increasing the range.

The two fighters climbed quickly, and the TF-41 engine provided a thrust of more than 100 kilonewtons, and the fighters climbed quickly.

At the same time, the radar operator behind turned on the radar and began to lock the two large targets in the air.

The distance is getting closer and closer, and the altitude is getting higher and higher! The speed is getting faster and faster!

When climbing to 20,000 meters, the Tomcat fighter sprinted to a speed of Mach 2.5, and at the same time, the distance was close to 130 kilometers.

The flames flashed under the belly of the aircraft, and the two Phoenix missiles left the fuselage, and the hot flames disappeared in front of the pilots.

The Phoenix missile continued to climb to an altitude of 30,000 meters, and the speed reached Mach 6, flying quickly.

"Report, the two suspicious targets fired four missiles at us, the missile speed was Mach 6, and the altitude was 30,000!"

"Oh my God! That's the Phoenix!"

"Damn it, how could the Phoenix fly from behind us?"

While cursing, they also knew that they were facing the most dangerous situation. The most important thing now was to mobilize several fighters to intercept the two enemy planes.

A squadron of MiG-29s were quickly mobilized. At the same time, two escorting MiG-29 fighters bravely stood in front. If they wanted to attack, they would shoot down the MiG-29 first!

The early warning aircraft was descending in altitude, and the bulky body could not do any large overload maneuvers to avoid it. It could only use this most primitive method, hoping that the opponent's downward vision ability was not enough.

The sudden fighters and missiles made the Soviets confused.

The Phoenix missile was still flying fast. For it, it was only a few tens of seconds.

In order to ensure the attack effect, the two Tomcat fighters continued to fly level. Although the MiG fleet had already come up, their most important thing was still to attack the AWACS.

Even if they were shot down by the enemy, they had to kill the AWACS!

This battle was to let the Soviets know that no matter what advanced weapons they used, they could not influence the situation on the Afghan battlefield! The Soviets, get out of the Afghan battlefield!

The escorting MiG-29 fighter flew up to the missile, hoping to block it, but to the surprise of the pilot, the missile actually bypassed him and continued to attack the AWACS!

Anti-radiation missiles, pick the one with the highest radiation source!

The personnel on the AWACS did not know what type of missile was coming. If the radar was turned off in advance, there might still be hope.

However, in order to completely eliminate the AWACS, one of the two missiles has an anti-radiation seeker and the other has a radar seeker. Now, the radar has also entered the active guidance state, and the AWACS has no room to dodge.

"Boom!" A huge explosion sounded in the sky, and the entire A-50 fighter jet and the Phoenix missile had a passionate kiss, fierce and spectacular.

A few seconds later, the second AWACS suffered the same blow. When these two AWACS were killed, it had already announced the complete failure of the Soviet attack! (To be continued ~^~)
