Using helmet-mounted scopes to increase the off-axis launch of R-73 missiles, these new guys who have just been equipped with the Air Force for less than two years in the Soviet Union, Soviet pilots are very confident, and with the advanced maneuverability of their fighters and their own skillful flight maneuvers, they are fully capable of knocking down the opponent!

At this time, Qusay had already come to the Ministry of Defense, and through the synchronous information of the AWACS aircraft transmitted by the C3I system, he was concerned about the specific situation of the air battle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧

Very simply, although he knew that the Soviet Union was about to start turmoil at the top of the country, the Soviet Union was still strong, and Iraq killed their fighters, which would cause the Soviet Union to be very angry, and next, what Iraq needed to do was to find the wreckage of the plane, which was in Khorasan, and then, inform the Soviet Union, this time I am very sorry, because your pilot was lost and strayed into our airspace, and for various reasons, our pilot mistakenly shot you down, and then look at the crash site, it is nearly 200 kilometers away from the border line, which shows that, mainly due to the mistakes of the other side, in this way, the Soviets have no bitterness to say, and they have no backbone, but they have also saved face, and they may have to admit that it was their own mistake and the pilot was lost.

Will they attack eastern Iran in a big way? Qusay does not believe that although the current defense minister of the USSR is very tough, the top leader of the USSR has been replaced by Konstantin Ustinovich Chernenko, an old man in his seventies who is also in very poor health, and spent most of his time in the hospital during his tenure as general secretary for more than a year, such a person is not bad to be able to maintain the situation in the USSR, and let him agree to launch a large-scale risky war, he probably does not have the courage. ≦≧

Today is February 8, and if I remember correctly, General Secretary Andropov will die in the hospital on February 9 due to a very serious kidney disease, and since then. His efforts to save the Soviet Union were all dashed.

For Andropov, Kusay also has a pity in later generations, if he had not died prematurely, the Soviet Union may have become a completely different state, because Andropov's reforms are very similar to the great man in China, and the gradual reform is the most in line with the Soviet model. Gorbachev was also reforming. However, his reforms were proven by later generations. It was undesirable that he actually renounced the party's leading position and allowed a multi-party system. ≦ also practiced democracy on his own, became the president of the Soviet Union, and finally brought down the Soviet Union.

However, these have nothing to do with Qusay, he is just a spectator, and what he needs is to get the maximum benefit from Iraq, so. From now on, relations with Gorbachev should be more cordial.

Now, the battle in the sky has tangled the hearts of many people, including the top of the Soviet Union, who was anxiously waiting in Moscow for the urgent rescue of the General Secretary.

Just half an hour ago, General Secretary Andropov's kidney disease suddenly showed signs of deterioration and he was rushed to the hospital. It is being treated by the best doctors of the USSR.

Originally, Ustinov also wanted to test the air defense of eastern Iran by ordering MiG-29 fighters to fly across the border himself, and if they were attacked, he would have a valid reason, but. At this most critical moment, the general secretary's physical condition. Suddenly it became very unoptimistic.

Without the decision of the general secretary, and the opinions of the people below were not unanimous, Ustinov himself did not have the courage to launch this attack even if he wanted to launch this attack again. ≦≧

Because, it's not for him to decide alone.

Gorbachev was also more anxious, until now, he has been regarded by Andropov as one of the most trusted people, just as he consolidated his position, General Secretary Andropov is his greatest support, but now, if this support disappears, his ideals, I am afraid, I am far away.

"Report that our warplanes were attacked by Iraqi Air Force warplanes in northern Khorasan." At this time, a staff officer who came in in a hurry reported to Ustinov that his voice was small. Encounter with the warplanes of the Iraqis? At this time, Ustinov did not rejoice, he was a little big-headed, how to deal with this matter? If your own fighter shot down the opponent, then it is better to say, what if your own fighter is shot down? The ground forces use this as an excuse to go on the offensive? He could not have given such an order without the general secretary's decision.

Damn, Iraq's Air Force, when did it become so strong? Two of our fighters got into it from the mountains, how could they have been discovered by the other side?

While the rear was still thinking about how to solve it, the battle on the front line was still going on nervously. ≦≧

In Reyer's field of vision, he also found two Soviet planes flying from the mountains, at this time, the distance between the two sides was rapidly approaching, he could already see each other's planes clearly, it was a double-engine and double-tail fighter, the appearance was different from any Soviet aircraft he was familiar with, the biggest difference was the two rectangular air intakes in the abdomen, and the fuselage, as if riding on the air intake and engine below, and he couldn't tell where the fuselage was and where the wings were, which had naturally merged into one.

This is one of the newest fighters of the USSR! There was a burst of excitement in Reye's heart, as a pilot, as a genius pilot in Iraq, Reyes was eager to fight, eager to fight the most powerful enemy, in the Iranian Air Force had almost collapsed, Reyes thought that he had no chance to engage in air combat with the most powerful enemy of this level of F-14, who knows, today when it was time to carry out the mission of this no-fly zone, he was given a new opportunity! Judging from the appearance, he knew that this kind of fighter must be difficult to entangle. ≦≧

The Soviet Union flew this time, not MiG-21, MiG-23, nor the more advanced MiG-25, these fighters, the Iraqi Air Force are equipped, although it is shrunk, Reyer also knows the advantages and disadvantages of the performance of these fighters, his Mirage 4000 from long-range volleys to short-range combat, far better than these fighters, this time, he has never seen a model, but it is more inspired by his fighting spirit, as long as it is harmful to the interests of Iraq, no matter what the enemy, the United States or the Soviet Union, The Iraqi Air Force is fearless!

Reyer mustered his strength and began to prepare for close-quarters martial arts.

At the same time, the pilots of the Soviet Air Force were also looking at the two fighters in the distance, and there was some disdain in their eyes, the layout of the delta wing, at first glance, was the style of the French Dassault company, this layout had great advantages, and the disadvantages were also obvious, and they firmly believed that their fighters would definitely defeat them in close combat.

The first head-to-head confrontation between the valiant Iraqi Air Force and the Air Force of the Red Empire has finally begun.

Both sides are looking at each other, and at the same time, they are also preparing for the exchange of fire.

The distance between the two sides is rapidly shrinking.

"Select helmet status to aim." The pilot of the MiG-29 commander ordered that the medium-range air-to-air missile launched by the other side just now made them embarrassed, and now it is time to let the daring Iraqis taste their own strength!

"Prepare to use the Magic Air-to-Air Missile." Reyes also gave the order.

At present, the short-range air-to-air missiles equipped by both sides, although theoretically speaking, have the ability to launch head-on, but this kind of missile in France, compared with the latest missile developed by the Soviet Union, is still a generation behind, and a year later, the French improved Magic 2 air-to-air missile began to enter service, while the Soviet Union's R-73 has been in service until the new century.

Therefore, Reyer knew that even if he launched a missile in a head-on state, the chance of hitting the opponent was very small, and with the strong maneuverability of his fighter, it was the right thing to carry out the usual tail-chase attack.

The Soviet pilots, on the other hand, did not think so, they had just ventured into the mountains to avoid missiles, and now they were eager to launch missiles immediately.

Therefore, the pilots of the MiG-29 chose to launch head-on, which can almost be said to be the first time in history that in close air combat, infrared combat missiles were used to attack the opponent head-on.

Compared with the tail chasing attack, due to the absence of the blazing tail flame, the infrared seeker will have a shorter range, and the missile's range advantage cannot be brought into play.

The pilot of the MiG-29 skillfully twisted the seven-position transfer switch on the H001-165 console to put it in the "IIINEM" state, then toggled the Habeu-ABT-PYQH (guidance: auto-manual) transfer switch to the "PYQH" position, and then put the 3AXB-ABT-PYQH (interception: automatic-manual) transfer switch to the "PYQH" position. Then turn the N3NYQ-3KB-OTKN (Launch-Equivalent-Disconnect) transfer switch and put it in the N3NYQ position, and adjust the fire control system to the state of the helmet sight. Soviet engineers don't know what to think, in the fierce and complex air battle, changing the guidance method once, need to flip multiple switches, don't they know that it is difficult for pilots to have enough time to complete the twisting of so many knobs, or that pilots will forget to twist a switch because of nervousness and other factors?

The wingman pilot of the MiG-29, unbeknownst to himself, made a serious mistake and accidentally touched the electric door of the NU (laser rangefinder), and did these maneuvers with his hands wearing flight gloves, which required caution.

The two MiGs pilots, using their new weapons, quickly turned their heads to align an Iranian fighter with a helmet-mounted observation mark, and pressed the input (BBOU) button on the throttle handle after visually spotting the two Iraqi planes.

Compared with the original MiG, the MiG-29 also added a head-up display, and as the helmet sight began to work, the head-up screen began to show the interception screen of the target interception status.
