Red Soviet Union

Chapter 35 Shooting down Belenko

When the MiG-25 was designed, it was used for special aircraft. The R-40 missile was specially developed for the MiG-25. Aside from the missile, it is a pylon, and it must be able to withstand the high temperature caused by the speed of Mach 3. In normal use, it has to be specially designed. The initial MiG-25 can only carry R-40 missiles. This kind of missile with a large volume and weight only gives the MiG-25 the ability to intercept at medium distances. The overload is limited and it cannot be used for close combat. Therefore, An interceptor such as the MiG-25 will hardly get caught in a melee approach with an opponent.

It was not until the improved MiG-25PD, the fighter that Andre was driving, that it was improved, with a new radar and fire control system, and the ability to mount short-range R-60 missiles. .

This is a third-generation air-to-air missile developed by the Soviet Union's Pennant Machinery Manufacturing Design Bureau in the late 1960s to meet future air combat. It was put into production in 1973 and served in 1975. NATO named it AA-8 Aphid.

According to the previous tactical analysis, this new missile should have excellent maneuverability. Therefore, the previous situation of five big and three rough has been changed. The whole missile is small and the four rectangular fixed stabilizers in front, together with the trapezoidal tail, ensure the flight of the missile. For stability, there are 4 movable triangular wings in the front section of the projectile, which are used to control the flight direction of the missile. This kind of light missile with a total weight of only 65 kilograms has a maximum range of only ten kilometers, and in a low-altitude dense atmosphere, the effective range will be shortened to two kilometers. It can be said that this kind of missile is completely used within the range of the cannon. hunted.

Thanks to the use of a new seeker, the missile's ability to capture targets exceeds that of any previous air-to-air missile. After Andrei pressed the button, a thick plume of smoke flew out from under the wing, and an R-60 missile, shot To the front of the MiG-25 chrysanthemum.

In the hot tail flame, the R-15 engine of the afterburning MiG-25 was still turned on. The huge heat was a clear heat source. The R-60 missile hit one of the engines effortlessly. , The 6 kg high-explosive fragmentation warhead exploded, and countless fragments flew. Suddenly, the R-15 engine emitted thick smoke and was injured!

Just hurt the opponent! The Soviet defense industry, which is good at going to extremes, has come up with a light R-60 missile, which has greatly improved its maneuverability. However, the disadvantage is also prominent, the range is too close, and because the warhead is too light, the lethality is limited!

With only one engine left, the MiG-25 is still flying! Belenko in front tried to control the plane and continued to accelerate.

Why haven't the Americans come? If I don't come to meet me again, I'm afraid I won't be able to fly to the American base!

Could it be that Annie did not send the information to the United States? and many more! something wrong! At the last moment, Belenko suddenly thought of something, how could Annie casually connect with the United States? What secret channel does she have? Unless she is an American intelligence officer herself! In the past few days, I have been fascinated by Annie, and Belenko has been wanting to be with Annie, and his brain has already started to short-circuit. But now, he felt that there was a problem in it. Although he had the idea of ​​defecting by plane before, he never took it into action. Now, almost entirely under the guidance of Annie, he made the actual action!

It's just that at this time he has no room for regret. He only hopes that Annie can notify the US government so that the other party can quickly protect him. By the way, when Sokolovka ordered Andrei to shoot him down just now, he seemed to mention it. To have two targets in the fast approaching! It must be to protect yourself!

Just when he was flying with him, he saw four missiles mounted under Andre's wing. Andre would not let him go, and there were still three missiles, would he continue to attack him?

The moment Belenke was hesitating, he felt the body suddenly shake, and then the huge roar from the tail disappeared.

Damn, ran out of fuel!

Before the fighter jet set off, there was not much fuel added at all, and in order to avoid radar monitoring, Belenko had been flying in a low-altitude dense atmosphere, with high resistance and high fuel consumption. If he continued to fly at a low altitude, he could also fly to Hokkaido, but he was chased by Andrei, forcing him to turn on the afterburner to climb.

After turning on the afterburner, the fuel consumption soared, and just like that, he had already used up all the fuel within a hundred nautical miles from Hokkaido!

If one engine is lost, the MiG-25 can still fly, but if the power of both engines is lost, there is only one outcome, crash!

After seeing that the fuel gauge indicated zero and the engine at the rear had been turned off, Belenko had no choice but to eject and escape.

Buckle on the sun visor of his full-face helmet, close his legs, and pull the lever to change the plane to level flight. After completing these actions, check the height and speed of the fighter plane, they all meet the ejection conditions, and take a deep breath. With a sigh of relief, Donrenko pulled the ejection handle.

Bang. As the cockpit cover on the top of the head was thrown away, the rocket on the KM-1 ejection seat at the bottom was successfully ignited, pushing Belenko out of the cockpit and flying away from the fighter. After two seconds, the seat was separated from the person. The parachute opens.

Andre, who was behind, had already prepared another R-40 missile. He had found that the R-60 missile had limited lethality. In order to shoot down this steel fighter, this heavy missile must be used.

And because of the limited range recently, Andre needed to keep a distance from the MiG-25 in front of him to be able to launch the R-40 missile. Just after two seconds of delay, the MiG-25 in front suddenly another The engine also stalled.

what happened? Putting his hand on the launch button, Andrei did not launch the missile and saw Belenko ejected from the cockpit. As for the MiG-25, the altitude continued to decrease, and it soon fell into the sea.

032, return immediately, 032, return immediately, two targets, the distance is 20, the height is 12,000, and the direction is 190! The voice from the rear came from the earphone.

In the long-range radar at the rear, it can be seen that Andre's fighter jet fired a missile. Although the time was a few seconds late, the fighter jet that defected in front fell. Therefore, Kozhdubu thought that Andrei had finished After completing the mission, he was ordered to return immediately.

The two American fighter planes were already approaching quickly. Andre, a stunned young man, might fight the other side. Shooting down his own defected fighter plane is one thing, and fighting the other side's fighter plane is another time. something happened. Kozhedub did not want to escalate the conflict.
