    At the H-3 Air Force Base in Iraq, two planes slowly slid onto the runway, each carrying two huge missiles under their wings.

    These two aircraft are MiG-25 fighter jets that have gradually fallen out of favor in the Iraqi Air Force.

    Although the MiG-25 has the advantage of double three, in practice, it is not of much use. Most of the battles actually take place in the transonic range. The MiG-25¡¯s backward aerodynamic layout, and  The gradual aging of the weapon system seems to have caused this fighter, like other Soviet aircraft, to fall into gradual retirement.

    However, Iraq did not do this. In the process of phasing out MiG-21, MiG-23 and other fighter jets in large quantities, they carried out a mid-term life extension and improvement plan for this type of fighter jet.

    The focus of improvement is its fire control system.

    Although the MiG-25 radar has high power, it is only a last resort. Because of the backwardness of Soviet electronic technology, it had to use increased power to obtain a larger range, but its performance is not essentially the same.  improve.

    With the gradual development of electronic technology in Iraq, Iraq has developed several advanced radars with flat-plate slot radar antennas, and the key solid circuits can be produced independently.

    Due to the large diameter of the MiG-25's nose, the radar antenna equipped by Iraq is also the largest in diameter. In this way, the improved radar of the MiG-25 fighter is capable of detecting targets 200 kilometers away, and  The ability to lock down attacks.

    In this way, the MiG-25 was reborn in Iraq, and its performance partially reached the performance of the Soviet Union's improved MiG-31. Although the MiG-31 used a phased array radar, it was not much more advanced than the Iraqi radar, and its cost was  It's quite expensive.

    Furthermore, Iraq purchased a batch of R-33 missiles for the MiG-25 through secret channels at extremely low prices.  This missile is a long-range air-to-air missile specially produced by the Soviet Union for the MiG-31. When it was put into service in 1982, its range was 120 kilometers. During this decade, the Soviet Union was also developing this missile.  Improvements were made, and now its range reaches 200 kilometers!  It is simply tailor-made for high-value targets such as early warning aircraft.

    Although Kusai is more concerned about the KS-172 missile with a range of more than 400 kilometers, this missile is still in the research and development stage and has not been equipped with troops. Even if Kusai wants to get it, he may not be able to do anything. He can defeat the Soviet Union.  The arsenal has been emptied, but if it hasn't been developed yet, there's nothing we can do about it, right?

    However, Qusay is very satisfied with the acquisition of this missile, which means that the Iraqi Air Force has the ability to attack enemy early warning aircraft.

    Last time, it was just a soft kill on their air defense system. This time, it¡¯s a hard kill!

    Facing the invasion of the Israeli Air Force, the war machine of the Iraqi state was turned on to its maximum. Their preparations for several years came to the stage tonight.

    After taking off, the MiG-25 did not fly directly towards Israel. They passed through Syrian airspace and flew towards the Mediterranean Sea.

    This place is outside the detection area of ??Israeli radar, so Israel will not discover that they have taken off two heavy fighter jets.

    The MiG-25 turned on the afterburner and flew to an altitude of 25,000 meters. There was not much time left for them. The sooner they knocked out the opponent's early warning aircraft, the sooner they would help their own air force win a complete victory.  .

    The Israelis wanted to take out the Iraqi early warning aircraft and did not hesitate to hide themselves under the passenger plane. The same goes for Iraq. After flying over the Mediterranean Sea, it entered another passenger plane route.

    The altitude dropped to 12,000, and the speed also dropped below the speed of sound.

    This route leads to Tel Aviv.

    The two MiG-25s also used a dense formation, so that even if they were detected by the opponent's radar, they would only think it was a large passenger plane.

    When the Israeli E-3 early warning aircraft discovered the passenger plane accurately at a distance of 400 kilometers, it did not pay attention at first.

    Although the E-3 early warning aircraft can accommodate more operators due to its larger space, in this fierce air battle, they are busy directing the battle of their own air force, and their work efficiency will directly affect the frontline air force.  The warrior's victory.

    In order to avoid being attacked by the Iraqi Air Force, the E-3 early warning aircraft flew over the western part of Israel, almost touching the Mediterranean Sea.

    Guiding one's own fighter planes in the air battle has consumed all the energy of the early warning aircraft, and they did not pay much attention to their own back direction.  A passenger plane four hundred kilometers away posed no threat to them. Even if the other party flew within two hundred kilometers of them, it would not be too late to mobilize their escorting fighter planes to intercept it.

    Until the passenger plane deviated from its route and headed towardsFlying in their direction, in the first two minutes, the early warning aircraft still thought that the passenger plane had yawed.

    But later, they discovered something unusual. The passenger plane suddenly split into two!

    At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than 300 kilometers.

    The two Iraqi MiG-25 fighter jets turned on their afterburners and climbed rapidly at the same time.

    The power of the twin-three fighter jets was unleashed again. The nose of the aircraft in front pierced the night sky. They were climbing up quickly, preparing to reach the edge of the earth.

    The speed is constantly increasing, and the height is also increasing.

    The greater the speed of the carrier aircraft, the greater the initial speed will be given to the missile, allowing it to achieve a longer range. The thin air in high altitudes and reduced resistance will also allow the missile to achieve a greater range.

    Therefore, in the design stage, the R-33 missile is prepared for the MiG-31 interceptor aircraft. It can climb to an altitude of 28,000 meters and accelerate to three times the speed of sound. Then, this missile can achieve the longest range.  Two hundred kilometers range!

    The Israeli early warning aircraft had predicted the danger. The two flying in were Iraqi MiG-25 fighters!  Because only that kind of aircraft can fly at such a fast speed and altitude. Now, its speed has exceeded Mach 2!

    The two F-15s escorting the early warning aircraft immediately approached.

    Although the MiG-25 looks menacing, the missiles it carries will not exceed 40 kilometers at most, and its maneuverability is not high. Therefore, the F-15 is fully capable of flying AWACS at a distance of 100 kilometers.  From a distance, kill them.

    It¡¯s just that they didn¡¯t know that they made a miscalculation this time.

    The two MiG-25 aircraft climbed to an altitude of 28,000 meters. At the same time, their speed had accelerated to Mach 3. At this time, they were 200 kilometers away from the opponent's early warning aircraft, and the Israeli F-15 escort fighter jets  , the distance from them is still 140 kilometers.

    The F-15 also turned on its afterburner and arrived quickly.

    The weapons operator in the back seat has already begun preparations, using the radar in front to lock the target of his attack.

    It¡¯s fun to spank someone from behind!  If it were from the front, I'm afraid it would be intercepted two hundred kilometers away.

    After completing a series of launch steps, the two missiles were launched one after another from under the wing.

    At a distance of 180 kilometers, two Iraqi MiG-25s launched four long-range air-to-air missiles, aiming at the early warning aircraft in the distance.

    Israel regards attacking the Iraqi early warning aircraft as its top priority. At the same time, Iraq also regards attacking the Israeli early warning aircraft as a key task.

    Last time, it was a soft kill, this time, it was a hard kill!

    The shape of the R-33 missile is similar to that of the Phoenix missile. It also uses four ordinary wings, but has four more tail fins. These four wings can provide a certain amount of lift when flying.  An ordinary rocket engine was used instead of the ramjet engine commonly used by the Soviets.

    However, the United States cannot use the same tactics because their carrier aircraft cannot accelerate to such high speeds.  There is also no outstanding indicator of interception, the ability to quickly reach the airspace.

    After the four missiles flew out, the two MiG-25 fighter jets did not return immediately. Although this missile was an active radar seeker, its range was only 40 kilometers. In the initial stage, they still needed to use it.  guided by a carrier aircraft.

    However, unlike other medium-range missiles, this missile uses inertial flight in the first few seconds, and uses radio command guidance during the middle process.

    Therefore, the MiG-25 only needs to roughly align its nose with the target so that the target of the opponent's early warning aircraft does not disappear from its field of vision. At the same time, the onboard computer continues to perform calculations and send the target data.  to flying missiles.

    After superimposing the speed of the carrier aircraft, the missile finally accelerated to Mach 6.  It only takes more than a minute for them to reach the active guidance range.

    For more than a minute, even if the F-15 had the speed of the MiG-23, it could not fly within the range of their Sparrow missiles.

    In an instant, the Israeli early warning aircraft realized the danger. They kept releasing interference, hoping to get rid of the missile.

    However, just like what happened in Iraq, they simply did not have enough maneuverability to avoid the four incoming missiles.

    They didn¡¯t expect that Iraq actually had missiles with a range of nearly 200 kilometers!

    In war, this kind of mistake means death.

    When the F-15 pilots saw this situation, one of them gave up the interception.But he returned to the airspace where the AWACS aircraft was located, and its route was between the Iraqi fighter planes and the AWACS aircraft. He hoped to use his body to help the AWACS aircraft block the missiles, so that the incoming missiles would treat him as an AWACS aircraft.  (To be continued.
