Chapter 437: Air Force Assist
The F-4 fighter is an authentic second-generation aircraft, but relying on the layout of air intakes on both sides, it can still make enough space for the nose to install a large radar.
With different models, it is equipped with different radars, at the beginning, it used AN/APQ-72 airborne interception radar with cone scanning, pulse plus continuous wave.
The disadvantage of the cone scanning method is that the angle measurement accuracy is poor and the anti-interference ability is not good, so the pulse method is used to complete the tracking of the target.
The radar antenna is parabolic and hydraulically driven. Although it has a good anti-interference ability. However, due to the use of most tube circuits, the size, weight and maintenance performance are poor.
So soon, it was improved into the AN/APQ-120 radar, which uses a pulsed continuous wave system and a digital computer to combine the air-to-air working state with the air-to-ground working state. Since a large number of transistor circuits and solid-state circuits are used, the stability is good.
However, although it has also made some progress in the application of coherent reception and Doppler technology, it does not have a perfect Doppler technology, that is, if the target is at a low altitude, because of the reflection in the mountains, the radar will not be able to see anything clearly.
Will the other party fly at low altitude?
How is that possible? Unless the other party is stupid.
You must know that the other party is not flying a small fighter jet, but a huge transport plane, with a bloated body, slow movements, and at night, so as long as the other party is slightly worse, there will be a tragedy of plane destruction and death, and it is definitely impossible for the other party to do this.
At least it's hollow, that is, as long as you fly at an altitude of several thousand meters, you can use radar to find the opponent's tracks!
Alaga operated the fighter plane and took off from the runway at a rapid pace, and behind him, the radar officer was already busy.
Although a large number of transistors and integrated circuits are used, some components still must use electron tubes, such as radar transmitters, which are electron tubes, which need to be preheated.
Find your target, then attack!
Therefore, not only the radar needs to be warmed up, but even the Sparrow missile needs to be prepared for launch, activate the gyroscope on board, and so on.
If it is a single-seat fighter, it is already in a hurry at this time, and this is the advantage of a two-seater, with a clear division of labor.
The F-4 ghost flew into the dark night sky, and the radar officer in the back seat had his eyes fixed on the radar screen.
"No target found." The radar officer looked at the screen, and the voice of disappointment kept coming.
Compared with the complex AG-9, this radar has only 7 operating states: "OFF", "Ready" (STBY), "Air-to-Air" (A/A), "Air-to-Earth" (A/G), "Antenna Fixed" (CAGE - the antenna shaft is fixed to the weapon baseline), "Self-Detection 1" (BIT1) and "Self-Detection 2" (BIT2). Among them, only three types, "air-to-air", "air-to-ground" and "antenna fixed", are in combat working condition.
Now, even if he wanted to change the way, there was no other way but an air-to-air search method, and he couldn't do anything but stare at it.
Where the hell is the other party? Alaka in the front seat was already curious in his heart, and at this moment, suddenly, a voice from the ground came from the earphones: "Attention, 046, border area, I found a large number of fighters approaching, immediately go to intercept, immediately go to intercept!" ”
The menacing American fighters finally flew over, they took off from the Turkish air base and flew towards the airspace of the BS country, a full group of F-15s, towards the BS country.
At present, the airspace of the BS country is almost undefended, approaching, many of those experienced pilots and ground crews have been cleaned, the air force is a high-tech branch, and there are not many that can take off, at this time, if American fighters dare to violate their airspace, then they only have a small number of planes to take off.
Araja's mission was originally to search for the transport plane that took off and shoot it down, but now, a large number of American fighters have appeared that are about to cross the line, and in this case, the Air Force must mobilize all forces to intercept it!
The Americans, are they planning to go to war with the BS country? In this case, you will never be afraid, and you must fight bravely!
Alaka piloted his own ghost fighter and bravely greeted it, but now he still has a question in his heart, where is that transport plane?
When flying over, on the way of civil aviation, it is enough to pretend to be a civil aircraft, and due to the chaotic situation in the BS country, you will not notice that they are impersonating at all.
However, when you leave, you can't do this, if you continue to fly on the civil aviation route, it is easy to be discovered by the other party, and then the most ordinary sparrow can also shoot down the C-5.
If you want to successfully leave the airspace of the BS country, you must fly at a low altitude.
That's right, low-altitude flight.
At this point, Nathan took control.
Nathan has a lot of trust in Jenny, and although Jenny's flight hours are not high, after this period of intensive training, Jenny is still able to operate the C-5 transport plane normally.
Take-off and landing, all of them were operated by Jenny, and even at the critical moment, Jenny resolutely took off urgently and left the dangerous runway.
And now, Jenny is tired, her big moving eyes are already full of bloodshots, and Jenny's firmness and courage have always deeply infected Nathan.
Now, it's time to go home, so let yourself take everyone home.
At this time, there is no terrain matching system, that is, until synthetic aperture radar is popular, and at the same time it is linked to the fly-by-wire control of the aircraft, so that the aircraft can fly at ultra-low altitude on the ground and automatically avoid obstacles.
Now, it's up to the pilot's skills.
In the second half of the night, the moonlight shone quietly on the mountains below, and Nathan, driving a C-5 transport plane, galloped past the top of the mountain.
Although he has not had much contact with C-5, and when he trained, he was mainly operated by Jenny, but now, Nathan's flight is smoother and more confident than Jenny.
This is the level of an old pilot.
Jenny didn't rest, she unfolded a chart in front of her, quickly marking her own flight trajectory, she still had to play her part.
Inside the radio, the voice of the Air Force was already heard, and it seemed that the Air Force had crossed the border.
Thanks to the Air Force, it has attracted your attention and become the last help.
Looking at the ups and downs of the mountains in front of him, Nathan's heart is also rippling, although he has prepared a lot for this operation, in fact, when it comes to the end, there are still many accidents, such as the arrival of those tanks, such as the other party's take-off fighter interception, however, these are all averted.
At the same time, there are also a lot of helpers, such as the air gunboat, such as the current Air Force cross-border provocation, and that President Carter is not useless.
