Chapter 436 Zuo Wai, launch!
On the top of Figure 4, the captain lowered the flight speed to the lowest level. At this time, the distance was only about ten kilometers, so speed was not a good thing.
"The target has appeared again, bearing XX, distance 9.5 kilometers." The crew and the radar operator of the Electromagnetic Institute reported happily.
"The tracking is stable. The opponent is within the range of our radar's downward view, and the terrain can no longer protect them!" The head of the Electromagnetic Institute carefully observed the radar signal and made a judgment.
Within this distance, as long as you are not hiding under a cliff, the general hilly terrain can no longer provide shelter. The only thing to consider is ground clutter.
At the same time, the alarm sounded loudly on the P-2V, which thought it had escaped temporarily.
"Beep beep beep"
"Squadron leader, the other party is following us again! The position is at the rear." This time, there was a hint of panic in the radar operator's voice.
Different from past experiences, this time the other party quickly came up again, and things seemed a little different.
The alarm can determine the direction of the radar signal, but height and distance cannot do anything about it, otherwise it would not be called an alarm.
Signals from the rear are far more frightening than signals from the front and sides. Even in the 21st century, being bitten by the tail in an air battle is a nightmare for all pilots.
The captain of the P-2V is not a novice, but an elite who has been fighting with us for many years.
"Slow down! Get to the lowest level!" His instructions were very decisive!
This is the experience of the P-2V fighting with our army for a long time. It can also be regarded as the unique skill of the P-2V. Flying slowly has the advantage of flying slowly. For a fighter jet, this speed can cause it to fall if not careful. I rushed over, turned around and came back, but couldn't find the P-2V again.
Of course, this move can only be played like this at low altitudes when the terrain is complex and ground clutter is strong. Doing it at mid- and high altitudes is the only way to sell Seoul.
Nan Bangzi: Not for sale!
But this time, something seems wrong.
The estimated time has passed, and the radar warning is still screaming.
The captain and Major Zhou looked nervous and looked at each other.
The members of the electronic warfare team are indeed engaged in electronic warfare. They are extremely skilled and experienced. He can even hear some problems from the warning sound of the radar warning device.
"Squadron leader, the frequency of the warning sound of this radar warning device is related to the frequency of the other party's signal. Judging from the warning sound, I think the other party's signal does not even have an obvious Doppler effect."
This made the captain His brows wrinkled, then relaxed.
"Specialized low-speed aircraft are coming for us! Speed up, speed up!"
Low-speed aircraft cannot fly fast, and they may not even be fighter jets. No wonder the other party did not Accelerate, not launch an attack, and the opponent may not even have a weapon.
Speed up and run!
The other party might just be following him, and the real blow would be to wait for the summoned fighter to arrive. He could still run at this time, and he even felt a little relieved.
Those who can keep up with me are unarmed, and those who are armed may not be able to defeat me. It's not like I haven't escaped under the muzzle of the opponent's fighter jet so many times.
The four engines of the P-2V were fully turned on, pushing the speed to more than 500 kilometers per hour, with the intention of speeding away.
On the Tu-4 special side, the radar operator discovered the enemy's movement: "The enemy plane has accelerated, the distance is 7.5 kilometers."
Our captain laughed: "Can't run!"
The maximum flight speed of the Tu-4 is also about 550km/h, so who should be afraid of who?
The four engines roared loudly and followed.
At this time, our two fighter jets have arrived 30 kilometers away.
The head of the Research Institute smiled and said: "It's our turn!"
I have been watching the comrades from the Institute of Electromagnetics busy at work. At this distance, they can finally show off their skills.
The captain nodded and reported to the command center: "Bird's Nest, Bird's Nest, the owl has met the requirements for mouse hunting, please ask for mouse hunting!"
Every comrade in the command center looked happy. According to the position of Tu-4, After working on the picture for a while, the operator raised his head: "Report, the enemy plane is no longer in the densely populated area!"
The two commanders looked at each other, and one of them picked up the radio and said one word: "Fight! Repeat, fight!"
No longer waiting for the fighter jet to arrive, the owl has already created the opportunity, so seize it, just in time to test the owl's ability.
“Owl understands!”
After receiving permission to attack, the comrades from the Institute of Guidance and Research will not be sleepy.
"The missile is powered on!"
On the missile display console, 4 green lights lit up.
"The missile self-test is completed, everything is normal!" "Left outer, right outer, start cooling!"
Of the four missiles, the compressed gas cooling devices of the two outermost missiles on both sides were first activated to start cooling the seekers.
Once this thing is started, it will continue to deflate and cannot be stopped, so it must be started before preparing to attack. If you give up the attack after starting, then these two bombs will be useless in this battle. , it must be returned for maintenance before it can be used again.
“Open the seeker lock, turn on the cross-linking between the airborne radar and the infrared seeker!”
For the comrades of the Guidance and Research Institute, this series of actions is a familiar journey. Done in less than ten seconds.
The trumpeter at the Guidance and Research Institute was extremely excited, with adrenaline soaring and dopamine secreted crazily. He fired so many test rounds, but in total, they were not as satisfying as the two rounds he had now.
The weapon operators in the crew watched every movement of the trumpeter from the Institute of Guidance and Research attentively. These were performed by the teacher himself, standard movements, and he had to remember every step in his mind.
In the hoods of the two bombs on the left and right, the modulation disk in the seeker began to rotate. Following the control signal of the radar cross-linking, it began to search for infrared signals in the target area.
At this time, inside the P-2V, which was running at full speed and running away like crazy, the radar warning never stopped, and the atmosphere made them even more desperate.
“The other party’s signal has been stable!”
The captain shouted to the tail of the plane: “Tail of the plane, have you found the enemy plane? Have you found the enemy plane?”
The lookout at the tail of the plane had extremely good eyesight, but was still powerless. At a distance of about 7 kilometers, it was very difficult to spot an aircraft behind and above him in the dark night sky.
“Nothing found!”
This report made the P-2V captain panic. What on earth is following him?
He knew that his time was running out. Although he was confident of getting rid of the opponent's fighter, he still did not want to risk his own life.
Thinking of the P-2V that was shot down not long ago, he began to wonder if the other party had some new weapons? When he thought about the two large ships of the navy that were killed by each other's new weapons, he became even more panicked.
He took the control of the plane from the co-pilot to himself, operated the plane himself, and started maneuvering. He wanted to personally fight his way out of the hills.
It is better to have a father and a mother than to have one yourself. When someone is going to die, you have to do it yourself.
At the same time, Major Zhou also ordered all kinds of interference methods to be used at full power.
It’s just that no matter how big the maneuvers of this patrol aircraft are, it’s actually just that, especially when the distance between the two sides is 7 kilometers. From a distance on the radar, it will only feel like the P-2V is flying randomly. , but it is of no use.
The enemies are flying around! This is what the radar operator of the Electromagnetic Institute on Tu-4 Special reported. We have to forgive our comrade, he is not a combatant, and he really can't think of a more appropriate or professional term.
The past maneuvers of the P-2V were effective because the fighter had to use its cannon to solve the problem. The distance was very close. If you made a little movement, you might be able to get rid of it. However, at a distance of 7 kilometers, the P-2V's movements were already clumsy. , from the perspective of the Tu-4 Special, it is like a jumping master, adjusting the course slightly to keep up, but it has no effect.
At this time, a red light on the air-to-air missile display console lit up, and a beep sounded, indicating that the enemy aircraft was locked.
For the refrigerated lead sulfide seeker on the Thunderbolt-1, various electronic interferences emitted by the P-2V do not exist at all.
The rugged terrain and reflective ability of the ground are a big problem for radar signals, but for infrared seekers, what is this? No feeling.
In the dark night sky, there is no interference source such as sunlight. Even if the P-2V's infrared signal is cut in half by the modulation plate, in the eyes of the seeker, it still exists like a lighthouse, dazzling!
In order to escape, all four engines were turned on at full power, and the other two engines were jet-powered P-2Vs. The signal characteristics were even more conspicuous than those of ordinary aircraft. Oh no, it was too dazzling.
It can even be said that the Raiden-1 at this time, even if the seeker head is not a cooling head, can still lock the P-2V tightly, not to mention the current Raiden-1, the guidance head on it The head is a proper second-generation missile refrigerated lead sulfide seeker, which is a whole generation ahead of those of Citigroup and Lao Maozi.
"Locked, request to launch!" The trumpeter confirmed again.
The command right now lies in the hands of the captain. The captain has already determined that the enemy plane is still not in a densely populated area at this time.
“Launch!” The captain’s voice was exciting, exciting, firm and powerful!
The trumpeter's finger from the Guangdong Research Institute first pressed the launch button of "Left Outer" hard, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Left Outer Launch!"
It's so cool!
The infrared missile at this time cannot fire two rounds in a short period of time, because the tail flame of the previous round will interfere with the seeker of the latter round.
Under the special left wing of Figure 4, a slender Thunder-1 was ignited directly on the pylon and slid forward. At the same time, it was ejected slightly downward by the ejection mechanism of the pylon. The missile carried a long tail. Flame, plunged towards the enemy plane ahead.
At this time, the lookout hand on the tail of the P-2V saw some movement.
In the night sky, a long flame suddenly appeared out of thin air, dragging a red line and flying towards him.
Well, what is forcing Jing'er to do?
He quickly shouted to the captain: "Continuous fire was seen a few kilometers away! The enemy is taking action!"
Hearing this, the captain's head exploded with a "buzz"!
A few kilometers away, continuous fire!
missile! It must be a missile! They have air-to-air missiles!
He didn't even have time to answer anything. His hands had already started to move. The P-2V was pulling onions from dry land and rising upwards with the intention of getting rid of it.
