When using the Immortal, the powerful AWG-9 is capable of tracking up to 24 scattered targets simultaneously due to its ability to search and track at the same time. In cooperation with the fire control computer and the terminal guidance system of the "Immortal Bird" missile, multiple missiles can be launched at the same time.

Terminal guidance means that when the missile is about 16 kilometers away from the target, the missile radar will take over the missile control, thereby increasing the probability of hitting. The Immortal's huge seeker is equipped with a small radar. This launch and guidance capability allows the AWG-9 system to direct six Immortal Bird missiles almost simultaneously (within 2 seconds) on a time-separated basis while searching for other air targets.

Although even in the best of the best cases, there were no results in hitting six targets at the same time, this still did not negate the Tomcat's strong volleying ability.

The immortal bird is the standard configuration of the tomcat, but the sparrow, not the tomcat, in the early days, did not have the ability to guide the sparrow, and it was not until later, after the fire control program was improved, that the sparrow could be used.

AIM-7 Sparrow air-to-air missile is a medium-range radar semi-active guided air-to-air missile developed by the United States, since the end of the 50s of the 20th century, the Sparrow missile has undergone many modifications, until the 70s, with the accumulation of experience in the use of Sparrow missiles in the Vietnam War and the progress of electronic technology, the development of AIM-7F surname can be regarded as stable, won the praise of pilots.

However, because the "Sparrow" missile is a radar-guided semi-active guidance missile, the missile requires the radar beam to continuously irradiate the target during the flight, so it can only attack a single target.

Therefore, Reyer immediately divided the formation into two squads, two above 20,000 meters and two at an altitude of 10,000 meters, ready to launch missiles.

Weapons and equipment are important, the coordination of personnel, tactics are also important.

When the two MiG-25s began to climb, the two weapons crews in the rear compartment of the two F-14 fighters immediately felt that something was wrong.

Looking at the speed at which the other side pulled up, it was definitely the MiG-25 fighter equipped by the Iraqi Air Force! Moreover, the other party is still climbing high, climbing high.

Originally under the tomcat, now, climbed on the head, moreover, still climbing high!

Soon, the other party rose to a height of more than 20,000 meters.

What do they want to do? The Weapon Bearer felt a little tricky.

"Lock down the two planes below." Calat Barry said. He also saw it on the display in front of him.

If only there were an immortal bird on it! The opponent has now climbed too high and has exceeded the sparrow's ceiling.

The wings of the immortal bird are wide, while the wings of the sparrow are relatively short, and the thin air at high altitude cannot support the sparrow missile at all.

"The other party has been locked." The weapon wheather said. On a fighter flying at high speed, the distance of 100 kilometers will arrive quickly, and now the two sides are facing each other, which is naturally more short.

"Launch!" As soon as Carat Barry finished speaking, the weapon wheather pressed the weapon launch button.

A sparrow, dragging a long flame in tow, drove away from the tomcat's belly.

"Attention, P-40R, salvo." Here, Reyer also ordered.

Suddenly, under the wings of four MiG-25s, a tongue of fire came out, and each MiG-25 launched a medium-range missile.

At this time, the radar alarm receiver sounded, and the other party had locked onto himself.

"Two, prepare to turn right and release the lock." Reyes said.

Allah willing! The pilot of the second plane thought silently in his heart.

If you attack the opponent with medium-range missiles, then the radar on the carrier aircraft must continue to illuminate the target, so that the carrier aircraft cannot make a large overload maneuver, otherwise, as soon as the carrier aircraft moves, the radar will release and lock, and the missiles that fly out will become uncontrolled rockets.

"Oops, the other side has launched a missile!" Said the weapons handler in the rear compartment.

The Tomcat's AWG-9 radar is very advanced and has a high resolution, which can distinguish not only the opposing fighter's aircraft, but also the missiles launched by the fighter.

Since the fighter accelerated when launching the missile, giving the missile a large initial velocity, the missile was able to approach the target first, even though it was a missile launched after the MiG-25.

Looking at the fast-flying target on the radar screen, and listening to the sound inside the radar warning receiver, Karathbari was a little unwilling: "Prepare to maneuver and get rid of the opponent's missile." ”

As long as there is a little hesitation, although the Soviet-made missile can be almost finished, after entering the opponent's inescapable zone, only God knows whether it can get rid of it.

However, as long as he made a fierce maneuver, the two sparrows that he had just launched would not be able to hit the target even if they were launched in vain, and they would lose the irradiation of the carrier aircraft.

From this point of view, the Sparrow and the P-40 have the same situation, because they are both semi-active radar guidance, the missile's seeker, can only receive, not launch, the carrier aircraft continues to irradiate the target with a radar beam, after the missile's seeker receives it, and then adjusts its course, and loses the radar beam of the carrier aircraft, the missile will be unlocked.

However, the only difference is that the two Tomcats must maneuver to fly, otherwise, they will be hit by four missiles that fly and explode in the air. The two MiG-25s at an altitude of 25,000 meters do not need to maneuver, because they will not be attacked by missiles, and the two MiG-25s at 15,000 meters, as long as the tomcat maneuvers, they are also out of danger, and they maneuver and fly in order to go around the rear of the tomcat!

The Tomcats have come up with their best technique: roll on the side!

Carat Barry and Noroz pressed the pole and kicked the rudder, and the huge tomcat began to turn sideways with agility and made a tumbling motion with great skill.

The sharp locked sound in the headset finally disappeared, and the weapon crew in the rear compartment checked the multi-function display screen between the tumbling heaven and earth.

"There were two MiGs, and they disappeared."

The six missiles flying in the sky in the first round only released a few beautiful smoke ribbons in the sky, turning into six brilliant fireworks, and at the end of the range, they started the self-destruction program, and none of them hit the target.

The pilots of the two MiG-25s at an altitude of 25,000 meters couldn't stop cursing the rudimentary fire control radar and the cunning Tomcat fighters.

And at this time, the Tomcat fighter did not shake off the excitement of the missile. Carat Barry shouted, "ACM mode, full airspace scanning." ”

A hidden enemy, the most terrible enemy, those two MiGs, where did they go?

In addition to using radar, the eyes of the two are also searching around in the airspace, and the distance of dozens of kilometers, the flight between the two sides is a minute.

Suddenly, the weapon crew in the rear was shocked to find that an infrared combat bullet was flying at high speed from the side and rear.

At this time, the radar warning receiver did not issue an alarm, how did the opponent's missile launch?

His curiosity about the unknown is higher than his fear of death.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise from behind.
