Red Soviet Union

The an/apg-63 all-weather multi-mode radar system at the front of the f-15 is an advanced flat-panel slot radar that works in the x-band, has a long detection distance, and has the ability to look down and shoot down.

However, when using the down-looking mode of pulse Doppler, the scanning distance of the radar will also be greatly reduced. When the Tornado fighter was detected just now, the medium/high prf mode was used to obtain better Head-on and tail-following search effects. And just when the radar switched to monopulse lock mode, the target disappeared!

Obviously, the Germans on the opposite side know all kinds of data of the American fighter planes. After all, the two sides often conduct confrontation training together. They definitely flew to the ultra-low altitude!

Medium prf mode, with a detection range of 64 kilometers. The pilot of the lead plane said while flipping the switch to switch his radar mode.

At the same time, the f-15 fighter continued to advance at a high speed, and finally, at a distance of 50 kilometers, the target was discovered again. At this time, the target was flying at a super low altitude and high speed on the ground at a height of 20 meters!

This time, the American pilot hesitated.

In this mode, the radar can intercept the target, but this does not mean that it can launch missiles to attack, because the downward-looking and downward-shooting capability of the sparrow missile is still insufficient!

After all, when the sparrow missile first came out, it was just like an uncontrolled rocket, with a hit rate of less than 5%. After continuous improvement, it was not until the aim-7f that it stabilized, and it was still not very good. The ability to look down and shoot down, and later to the aim-7m, equipped with a new type of reverse monopulse seeker, can be regarded as having a certain ultra-low altitude capability.

However, as it is now, the target aircraft is flying fast on the ground at a height of 20 meters, and the sparrow missile will still have a 100% miss rate!

For semi-active guided missiles, the onboard aircraft provides radar illumination, which is guided by receiving signals reflected from the target. However, at ultra-low altitude, the signal of the target will be submerged in a lot of clutter! As a result, it is difficult to analyze the correct target. After all, the processing power of the cpu on the missile is far lower than that of the fighter plane.

Sparrow missiles, there is no way to use them, so we can only continue to fly closer and use Sidewinder missiles to greet them!

Of course, one's own side is not useless. For example, now, our side is flying at a high altitude, the air is thin, and the speed of the fighter has reached Mach 1.3, while the Tornado fighter below, probably because of the lack of fuel in the aircraft, did not dare to turn on the afterburner. At ultra-low altitude, It only flew to Mach 0.6, and within a few minutes, our side will be able to catch up!

Then, dive down and take them out with Sidewinder missiles!

The alarm on the radar warning receiver disappeared, letting the hammer and sickle breathe a sigh of relief, but they knew that the Americans would never let it go so easily. If the Americans didn't shoot themselves down for the big things they just did, it would definitely be the worst. shameful!

Turn right, there is an anti-aircraft missile position in front. The sickle in the back cabin is constantly providing early warning signals. They fly at ultra-low altitude. Although they look arrogant, many weapons will pose a threat to them, especially the ground. Anti-aircraft fire.

In front is a US military base, where the anti-aircraft missiles will not release water!

Understood. Pushing the joystick, the Tornado fighter began to turn.

The current time is counted in seconds. Although the hammer did not turn on the afterburner, the fuel consumption of the engine continued. As the fuel gauge continued to drop, they would soon lose control of the fighter.

Don't give up until the last moment!

The American fighter plane is catching up! The sickle in the back cabin is also acting as a lookout. Although the Americans did not use the radar to lock on, he still saw the approaching American fighter plane from the side. Obviously, the Americans It is to put them to death.

Americans are coming! The hammer didn't panic, and further lowered the height. At this time, he was only ten meters above the ground!

Ten meters high, even in the wilderness of Germany, is quite dangerous! And in this kind of flight, the body of the Tornado fighter is almost completely hidden in the ground! If the American planes behind want to continue the pursuit, they can only lower the altitude in the same way!

The pilot of the f-15 pushed the nose and lowered the altitude. He tried to lock it. However, the seeker of the Sidewinder missile began to become blurred in this situation. It is best to pursue it from the tail. plan!

Of course, there is no need to fly to the same height, as long as the f-15 approaches from the tail, there is no problem at a height of 100 meters!

Drawing an arc in the air, two f-15 fighter jets flew behind the Tornado fighter jet!

At this time, hot flames burst out from the tail of the Gale Fighter, obviously the afterburner was turned on! In front of infrared missiles, an aircraft with afterburner turned on is the best target!

Come closer, come closer, come closer! Two f-15 fighter jets flew to a position five kilometers away from the Tornado fighter jet, which is almost a must-kill position! Then, the field of vision of the lead pilot wearing goggles was occupied by the target aircraft. He pressed the button with his hand, and the Sidewinder missile under the wing was about to be launched. The missile with flames will blast the target into slag!

At such a height, as long as it is hit, it will be destroyed immediately! The pilot didn't even have time to react!

Boom! At this moment, suddenly, his fuselage trembled. This sound, this vibration, was not the feeling of a missile launch at all! Then, the pilot felt thick smoke coming in from behind.

Has your own plane been hit? How did you get hit? Definitely not the plane in front, but the anti-aircraft firepower on the ground! The sound just now seemed quite hasty, it should be the sound of small-caliber antiaircraft guns firing!

Damn, how could the anti-aircraft guns on the ground attack him? Are the Germans so insane? At this moment, the pilot pulled the ejection handle on the seat, and the moment he almost left the cockpit, the F-15 fighter jet had already fallen to the ground!

The following landmarks have never been seen before! The moment the parachute opened, the pilot realized that it was bad! This is the sky over East Germany! Just now, the Tornado fighter turned on its afterburner and galloped to the airspace of East Germany. It was destroyed by the ground air defense firepower of East Germany!

Another wingman, having discovered the ground artillery attack in advance, fled here, and under the white umbrella flowers, the American pilot fell towards the land of East Germany.

In the Cold War, this is definitely a severe event, and it may even lead to the outbreak of World War III!
