Text Chapter 1117 Multi-target attack

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Sharp sirens resounded throughout the air force base. After the forward early warning aircraft transmitted the news, the air force immediately began to make complete preparations for take-off operations.

    Originally, Israel believed that when its own fighter jets began to sneak attack the opponent's early warning aircraft, it was the best time to take off, because even if the early warning aircraft discovered its own fighter jets taking off, it would take a certain amount of time for the other party's fighter jets to take off to meet the enemy.  .

    Because it is impossible for the opponent to be on duty 24 hours a day, let alone one fighter plane with two groups of pilots. The pilots also need to rest. Therefore, it is already very difficult to leave at most two squadrons of fighter planes at an airport on standby to take off.  With high configuration, if a fighter plane wants to take off, refuel, attach bombs, and detect, even the most skilled Israeli Air Force must complete these actions in about five minutes. As for the Arab Air Force, generally speaking, there are no half  It wouldn't take more than an hour. Even for the Iraqi Air Force, it would take ten minutes at the fastest. Within this period of time, it was enough for them to launch operations, just in time to blow up those aircraft and drag them out of the hangar, ready to take off on the runway.  moment, it was a very pleasing thing.

    It is a pity that this situation has not happened now. The Iraqi Air Force was already on high alert, and their fighter planes were always filled with fuel and missiles for take-off.  Moreover, they are all air superiority mounts and ground attack, which is a matter of ballistic missiles and Su-25. Iraq has mobilized a large number of Mirage 4000 fighters to compete with the opponent for air superiority.  Just now, after receiving the news of the early warning aircraft, the pilots in the entire air force base had already gotten up, put on their flight suits, and just put their flight helmets on their heads and took off.

    The time in between can be as short as ten minutes.

    And just after the signal from the early warning aircraft came over, the two squadrons of fighter planes waiting for orders had already taken off from the air bases in Usseli and Amman, preparing to meet the enemy.

    In the later stage, a large number of fighter planes will also take off one after another.

    Now, what determines the victory of the battle is the defense and struggle of the early warning aircraft in the air.

    Seeing that bright spot, Sater on the early warning aircraft knew that he was indeed being remembered. There was no need for him to take off the mission. The four escorting fighter jets saw the data transmitted from the data link and prepared to rush forward and kill the aircraft.  Kill the damn plane.

    However, Sartre immediately stopped this behavior. He only sent two fighter jets to intercept, leaving two planes to protect himself.

    This time, it was beyond Jon¡¯s expectation.

    The Iraqi Air Force always maintains a dense formation when flying. For example, the fighter planes escorting the early warning aircraft are two dense formations of two planes. In this way, the opponent's radar thinks it is just two planes.  Therefore, Jon's original tactic was to use one of the planes to divert the opponent's escort fighter planes, and then he would have enough time to kill the early warning plane without fighter escort.  At the same time, their attack fleet had already arrived at a key position.

    However, the situation has changed now. First, the early warning aircraft did not continue to fly north according to its original course, but turned south in advance, which led to the advance launch of their attack. Second, the escort fighter jets were  There were four, but now, only two were chasing the bait on our side, and two more were there to protect it.

    It would be nice if our side had three fighter jets. Unfortunately, no matter how skilled they are, they cannot hide three fighter jets under one passenger plane.

    This is a last resort choice.

    After Jon continued to fly with the passenger plane for more than ten seconds, he finally decided that it was time for him to attack!

    Even if it is shot down by an escorting fighter jet, you will still kill that early warning aircraft!

    Jon gritted his teeth and pushed down the operating lever. The hidden F-15 fighter jet revealed its true appearance.

    Now, the distance between him and the early warning aircraft is one hundred and fifty kilometers. He only needs to fly for three minutes to reach the attack position fifty kilometers away, and then launch his own missiles to attack!

    Under his wings are four AIM-120 missiles, which are four of the first batch of ten missiles urgently transported from the United States.

    After learning that Iraq had active radar-guided medium-range missiles, facing the current situation in Israel, the United States finally began to export such missiles to Israel in advance. At the same time, the U.S. Air Force in Israel, which had never been put into combat,  This missile has also begun to be replaced.

    The mission of this attack is the most important. As the main attacker, Jon's fighter plane is equipped with this missile.

    Seeing the light spot that separated from the passenger plane again, Sartre knew that the most cunning opponent had finally appeared.

    With the transmission of commands on the data link??, the other two escorting fighter planes came up to meet them. They would not give the Israeli planes a chance to make a sneak attack.

    After Jon left the passenger plane, he turned on his airborne radar and used the radar to scan the surrounding airspace. He immediately discovered his target and the Iraqi fighter planes that subsequently pounced on him.

    For him, the problem he faces is that if he wants to attack the early warning aircraft, he must destroy the two aircraft in front of him, and the time left for him is very short.

    And destroying the two planes flying in front, in a one-on-two situation, is not cost-effective for Jon.

    However, Jon is not afraid, because after his fighter plane is equipped with AIM-120 missiles, it will have a new capability: multi-target engagement capability.

    Although the F-15 fighter jets Jon is flying now are equipped with the most advanced APG-70 radar, they did not have this capability at the beginning.

    It is not simple to allow airborne radar to control multiple missiles at the same time and hit multiple targets in the air. Although the F-14 fighter jet carries the Phoenix missile, it has the ability to attack six targets at the same time. However,  It is simply a product of what is measured on the range.  In the actual complex electromagnetic confrontation and the complex maneuvers of enemy aircraft, hitting multiple targets at the same time is just a propaganda benefit.

    For the F-15 fighter, if you want to achieve multi-target attacks, you need to use TWS (tracking and scanning mode). However, pilots cannot use this mode when guiding missiles because it cannot guide semi-active radars.  The AIM-7 missile can only use the RWS (ranging while searching) mode. This mode has a narrow field of view and cannot provide more information.

    However, AIM-120 can use this mode to attack.

    Advanced weapons are not only available in Iraq. Even if you look around the world, the weapons of the United States are always the most advanced!

    After Jon adjusted the radar to this mode, he began to use the aperture to cover the two light spots on the display below. As long as they were covered, it meant that the other party would be locked.

    Give them each a missile first, and after killing them, the early warning aircraft will be your midnight snack!

    Jon kept shouting in his heart, comeon, comeon!

    Finally, Lockon¡¯s signal was displayed on the panel, and he had successfully locked!

    Then, fire flashed under the wing, illuminating the dark sky, and two AIM-120 missiles were launched.

    At this time, the distance between the two sides is 50 kilometers.

    AIM-120 is a newly developed air-to-air missile. This missile uses a new rocket engine, which results in a maximum power range of 80 kilometers. In reality, it can have a head-on range of 50 kilometers.

    But the Sky Flash missile is an improvement from the Sparrow missile. Although the engine has been improved, its maximum head-on launch range will not exceed 40 kilometers.

    In this situation, Jon temporarily took advantage and took the lead in launching the missiles he carried, and also adopted the most daring method of attacking two targets at the same time with two missiles.

    The radar beam is constantly scanning the airspace, and the airborne computer is running at high speed, continuously providing guidance data for the missile.

    When the locked signal was heard in the earphones, the Iraqi pilots knew that they were in trouble this time.

    At this time, they were also ready to launch, but it was not yet time to launch the missile.

    The flying speed of missiles is faster than that of airplanes. So, can they continue to fly forward and then launch missiles?  What they rely on is that their own missiles are actively guided in the final stage. Therefore, as long as the missiles are sent to the active range, they can maneuver away.

    While they were hesitating, the order from the early warning aircraft came, telling them to immediately turn 90 degrees and fly in two directions.

    An important role of early warning aircraft is to direct air combat. When he discovered the missile fired by the Israeli aircraft, Sater's pupils immediately dilated.

    A fighter plane can guide two missiles at the same time, which has almost never happened before.

    The most common one with this capability is the US Navy's F-14 Tomcat fighter. However, first, the United States has not deployed this fighter to the Middle East, and Israel has not equipped it. Second, if it is an F-14 Tomcat fighter,  -14, then the Phoenix missile it carries can be launched from a hundred kilometers away, and there is no need to risk death at such a short distance.

    Then, there is only one other possibility, and that is a new weapon system!

    Iraq has never worked behind closed doors. They often communicate with the outside world, such as the Saudi Air Force or the Western world.Sartre also knew that the United States has a new air-to-air missile that has entered active service, but has not been exported to Israel. However, it now seems that the Israelis have probably obtained this advanced missile and mounted it on their  on the F-15 fighter plane!  (To be continued.
