Looking at the Tomcat in the distance, smoke billowing from the right engine, Reyer waved his fist happily.

At this time, the P-60 infrared missile launched by the wingman also hit another Tomcat.

Well, well done! Reyer was very happy.

This time, while the opponent was rolling sideways and getting rid of the incoming missile, Reyer and another pilot, who had already piloted the fighter plane, also began their maneuver.

This time their maneuver was not to get rid of the other party's lock, when the Tomcat started to maneuver, they were already out of the opponent's lock, they were to occupy the launch position.

The tomcat maneuvered to the right to get rid of it, and Reyer also turned to the right, and then, turning to the left again, drew a beautiful S shape in the air, and already ran behind the opponent.

Due to the large turning radius of the MiG-25, when it completed the maneuver, it had already gone around the right rear of the Tomcat, which was somewhat excessive.

If the opponent's plane is locked with radar, then the opponent will definitely roll sideways and break away again. At such a close distance, compared with the tomcat's mobile surname, it is obviously looking for death.

Therefore, Reyer did not turn on the radar, but chose a new way of guidance.

In addition to the high-power radar, the MiG-25 is also equipped with a TP-26-SH1 forward-looking infrared search/tracking system (IRST), which has a target search range of 45 kilometers, which can provide the aircraft with a stable and reliable target search means in a strong electronic jamming environment, and at the same time, the aircraft's fire control system has also been upgraded and improved, with the ability to launch P-60 combat missiles.

So, after running to the right rear of the Tomcat, Reyer quickly assigned a target to the wingman, and then, using the IRST to lock on to the opponent's aircraft, in the first time, launched the P-60 short-range air-to-air missile.

At this time, seeing the fire lit by the tomcat, Reyer was a little dissatisfied, and it seemed that two more would have to be fired.

The Р-60 is the first real close-range combat air-to-air missile developed by the Soviet Union and equipped with front-line tactical air force fighters, which belongs to the third generation of short-range air-to-air missiles. The bomb was developed in the late 60s by the Moscow-based Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering "Pennant" with the system designation and designation К-60, put into production in 1973 and entered service in 1975, and was used by the Air Force under the designation Р-60 (r-60). The West and the NATO bloc, in accordance with the self-determined rules for the nomenclature of Soviet weapons and equipment, gave the family of air-to-air missiles the designation and designation AA-8 "Aphid".

After it was put into production, this P-60 infrared missile was widely equipped with the Soviet Territorial Defense Force, MiG-21, MiG-23, MiG-25, Su-15, Su-24, Su-25 fighters and ground attack aircraft, as well as Mi-24 helicopter gunships equipped with a large number of this type of missile.

The P-60 missile has a special aerodynamic layout, and is equipped with four rectangular fixed stabilizer wings behind the seeker head, which together with the trapezoidal tail to ensure the flight stability of the missile, and the front section of the missile body is also equipped with four triangular wings to control the flight direction of the missile. The projectile body behind the control wing is equipped with two sets of active radio proximity fuse antennas.

The P-60 is equipped with a high-explosive fragmentation warhead weighing 6 kilograms, and its warhead weight is only 53 percent of that of the K-13 missile and less than 67 percent of the warhead of the American-made Sidewinder missile.

Now that's it, although it accurately hit the opponent's engine, but, now it seems, the Tomcat did not ascend to the sky, and was still able to fly waddlingly.

Then two more! Reyer was ready for a second launch.

"Sky Falcon, a hundred kilometers away, there are two suspicious targets, which are rapidly approaching." Two MiG-25s at high altitude, the incoming Iranian aircraft were spotted in time.

"Radar signal detected, it's still a tomcat!" The situation of the war was reported again.

"It's not good, we're locked, there must be an immortal bird on the other side!"

"Accelerate, get out of it immediately." Reyes said.

Glancing at the two injured Tomcats, Reyer knew that if he gave the other two more missiles, he could send them to heaven, but it was too late.

In this battle, with four MiG-25s, two Tomcats were successfully damaged, and as long as they return safely, they will definitely be able to boost the morale of the Air Force and no longer be afraid of Tomcats!

From this point of view, Reyer's purpose has been achieved. If you wait for the other two tomcats to arrive, although you are relatively close to these two tomcats, the other party will not shoot immortal birds at you from a long distance, but when you get close, it is still very dangerous to get caught in a fight with the tomcat.

He quickly pulled the rod and pedaled the rudder, adjusted the course, and at the same time, turned on the afterburner switch.

The two MiG-25s at high altitude also began to return at a rapid pace.

The speed is increasing, the altitude is also gradually increasing, and soon, it reached an altitude of more than 20,000 meters, and the speedometer is gradually approaching the red line.

Although during the test flight, the MiG-25 flew three times the speed of sound, however, this was done without plug-ins, and at this time, it could only fly in a straight line. In practice, when approaching Mach 2.8, it is already in the danger zone, so on the Mach table, at 2.8, there is a bright red line, warning the pilots to stay vigilant in the fierce battle.

Sometimes, though, pilots don't take it seriously, especially with the two MiG-25s that preceded them.

They knew that there were two undead birds flying towards them at this time, and all they had to do was to fly out of the range of the undead birds!

One of the planes actually flew to Mach 3, and, after holding out for three minutes, flew out of the Iranian border in one go, and at this time, the immortal birds behind it could no longer fly.

The MiG-23 and Su-20 formations have also returned, because at this time, a large number of Iranian planes in the rear have arrived, and it is likely that there are more than two squadrons.

After exiting the fight, the matter is not over.

The four crew members sitting in the cockpit of the Tomcat are doing their best to rescue the plane.

Today's Iranian Air Force, there is no supply of parts, and there are not many aircraft that can be dispatched for a long time, one less to fight, one less to fly, and the vulnerable parts are consumed once, so the pilots cherish the aircraft very much, and they will never give up until they have to, even if they drive back and scrap them, they can also provide parts for other aircraft.

Turning off the damaged right engine, pumping the left engine to the maximum, and turning off all kinds of unnecessary electrical equipment, the two skilled pilots, Karathbari and Norotz, piloted the Tomcat as if they were drunk driving, and struggled.

At this time, the Tomcat's good control ability was shown, the Tomcat was the pneumatic layout of the two sides of the double hanging tail, because the two engines were far apart, resulting in the Tomcat incredibly yaw, but after pressing the lever to the right, the plane resumed its direct flight state.

The fighters who arrived later could no longer catch up with the distant Iraqi group, so they could only accompany the two damaged Tomcats and return to the airbase.

PS: Although the MiG-25 is a high-altitude and high-speed interceptor, it does not mean that it cannot fight with enemy aircraft, on the night of the desert storm on January 17, 1991, the MiG-25 passed through the front of the US Navy's F-18 formation, went around to the side, and killed an unconscious F-[***] Wasp.

Later, on January 19, Iraq's two MiG-25 fighters faced the four F15C, the world's most advanced air superiority planes at that time, and made many beautiful maneuvers, so that the F15C's radar repeatedly de-locked, and even made 11G turns without being caught, and dodged the missiles launched by the US military many times, so that the F15C took a lot of effort to shoot them down. If it weren't for the backwardness of the MiG-25's fire control electronic system, there would have been even a chance to counterattack.

Thanks to Fascis for the tip, if you have time in the evening, add a more chapter. However, the next two chapters require a lot of information, which is a bit cumbersome.
