In a chase battle with the goal of tail biting, the head-on interception tactic does have a certain suddenness.

With such a consideration, the black giant eagle in the clear sky continues to hover, and the nose of the aircraft points to the sun's direction again, before which the "Slammer" missile's autonomous search method has been set up like lightning, and now the two AIM-120B missiles mounted on both sides of the F-15S/MTD belly have been powered on, and the self-homing head is turning on the search, this mode of seeking the enemy that does not rely on the carrier aircraft radar is particularly suitable for close combat, as long as the pilot judges that the target is within the missile attack envelope, It can be launched immediately after the missile lock-on prompt, and it is a true "launch and forget".

The seeker suddenly turned on, and the invisible W-band signal swept the sky, but where did the Russian "flankers" run at this time?

In the midst of the violent rolling and horizontal hovering just now, Harold Fisher, who was fighting against the high-G overdrive, had no time to keep an eye on the opponent in the sky, but he was sure of his prediction and was now waiting for the "Grim Reaper" to send him to his door. However, the hovering was almost complete, and his eyes swept in the direction of the right front where the enemy plane should appear, but the major did not even see a single bird, where did the murderous-looking "White Reaper" go?

Looking left and right for a moment with doubt, looking down at the radar display is also empty, the AN/APG-63 in melee mode will quickly scan the airspace in the front hemisphere of the fighter, in other words, this guy is definitely not in front of him - subconsciously turning his head to look left and right, the major finally found a large area of light blue traces of enemy aircraft.

This hateful "Grim Reaper" did not continue to turn sideways to fight against himself, but smeared oil on the soles of his feet and flew away?

Enemy aircraft were spotted changing out of the circle. However, the tactics that the major had anticipated were not adopted. Long Yun's white twenty Su-27P42 is now a little further away from the "Agile Eagle". This came as a surprise to Fisher.

In a typical circling air battle, when an opponent is found to be rolling away and starting to circle in the opposite direction, the pilot will generally judge that the opponent wants to get out of the battle and will take measures to maintain close contact. At this time, keeping the direction of circling unchanged and appropriately reducing the overload G value is a common strategy, so that the left and right can be the source, whether the opponent wants to reverse and return to hit the opponent, or accelerate the dive and use the Breaking S maneuver to try to break away, you can have a better backhand to deal with - to deal with the former, you only need to wait for the opponent to run into your own twelve points, and then play a standard T-shaped attack; The latter is simpler. Just drive the afterburner to catch up, and an infrared missile can burst the chrysanthemum.

It is precisely because of this that in the face of the opponent who changed out in the circle, many pilots will subconsciously act like this, and today the major planned to use this to counterattack the opponent, but his wishful thinking failed.

Harold Fisher's idea of adopting the cunning strategy of luring the enemy into battle in response to the opponent's possible actions is not incomplete, after all, not everyone can think of the opponent's F-15S/MTD fighter jet that can launch AIM-120B and have good head-on attack capability when it is violently maneuvering.

However, this kind of small trick of "hoping that the opponent will make mistakes" is useless in front of Long Yun, who has experienced a hundred battles. He immediately guessed the "Shark's" intentions, so he made the same maneuver as the "Agile Eagle": since the two fighters were rolling and changing out and circling in reverse. After a 180-degree transposition, they still maintained a circling confrontation posture, but the distance between them was a little farther away.

Finding that his opponent was still going to battle it out in a circle, the battle-hardened Major felt a little annoyed.

Damn, what can be the result of this constant hovering confrontation, this cunning Russian "Grim Reaper", thinking that he is afraid of him?

Although I was deeply surprised by the strong maneuverability of the enemy aircraft just now, I don't know what is going on with this eye-catching painted "Flanker", probably with a larger thrust engine?

But since he wants to compete in the "spiral climb", his F-15S/MTD must not lose!

Aroused by Long Yun's almost provocative counterattack, Harold Fisher has almost forgotten about witnessing the destruction of friendly planes, and now he only wants to use all his strength to have a life-and-death duel with the terrible Russian air killers, and the manipulation in his hands has become more and more violent.

Standing on the treacherous battlefield in the sky, his usual calmness seemed to have disappeared without a trace, and the major had no time to think about what it was for, but a nerve that he accidentally touched caused his movements to stop for a moment.

In such a fierce confrontation, can you still complete the task of "ensuring survival"......

A trace of cold sweat gathered into a stream, running down the corners of his forehead and running down his tight cheeks, as if he had been captured by this simple command, and Harold Fisher suddenly shook his whole body, and he thought of something again.

Thinking back to about three months ago, when I went to Edwards Air Force Base to start closed training, the words of the cowboy hat man seemed to still be floating in my ears, and the tone was not heavy, but it seemed to have a magical power that people could not violate; Suddenly recalling these in the fierce battle, Fisher vaguely realized why the last time he piloted the "Agile Eagle" to face the Russian ace, he was actually unable to defeat his opponent - after months of hard training, he thought that his skills were not much different from the "Grim Reaper", but the light words that seemed to be instructions were like an invisible shackle of the mind, which made him have an inexplicable doubt about the battle from the bottom of his heart.

Is it because of this doubt that he is afraid of the confrontation and unable to exert his full strength?

Or is it ...... Things are not so simple, the F-15S/MTD he is now in control of has any secrets that he doesn't know yet?

As a devout Catholic, Major Fisher had always been convinced of his motives for participating in the war, but when he did face the "Caucasian Grim Reaper" in the sky for the second time, he felt a sense of confusion that he had never felt before; For the first time, he began to wonder if he had been sent to a desert base for training and then sent on a mission to the front lines, whether it was for some other purpose that could not be asserted in the free world.

Leaving the front-line combat units, and now returning to the front line to concentrate on searching and trying to eliminate the terrible Russians, it seems to have a huge impact on the situation of the war, but the question is whether they are really capable of doing it......

I don't know if it was affected by a kind of consciousness that diffused in the air, and Long Yun, who was piloting the Su-27P42, fell into a never-ending circling confrontation, but Major Fisher had a brief out-of-body experience; It wasn't until he barely managed to retract his attention and focus on the monitor and the large clear sky outside the cabin that he realized that something was very wrong.

While he was momentarily distracted and confused, the approach of the Russian fighter plane did not stop for a moment, and now there was no trace of the enemy plane in his sight, and even if he tried to turn his head and look around, he could not see anything. Being in the cockpit of the "Agile Eagle" with a good field of vision, but not being able to see the opponent, can only show one thing, that is, the enemy plane has occupied the position behind him at six o'clock, and maybe he will be hit by a missile in the next second!

The cold feeling of being stared at by the enemy on the back penetrated into the nerves, and Fisher subconsciously pulled back the throttle valve, closed the throttle and let the landline enter the defensive barrel roll, and then saw the "flanker" that was far behind him.

In the whirling warplane, the position of the enemy plane in his line of sight was also constantly rotating, but Fisher was still very nervous and sweaty in his palms, and he felt that the "Grim Reaper" was now less than three or four thousand meters away from him, that is, Cheng Dù who could be directly hit by the AA-11 "Archer" missile.

A moment of consciousness in a trance allowed the Russians to seize the opportunity to bite the tail, and the experienced major did not immediately enter a violent maneuver to try to escape.

Because in the circling confrontation just now, he had roughly figured out the performance of the fighters on both sides, and in the face of such a maneuverable "flanker", even if he was piloting the "Agile Eagle", there was no possibility of getting rid of it when he had already let the opponent bite six points.

In the confrontation between fighters, occupying a position is often more decisive than maneuverability, and now even an ordinary "flanker" following behind is almost a nirvana, let alone a high-performance fighter piloted by the "Grim Reaper"?

The pursuer suddenly put into the attack cone, and almost could feel the aura of death spreading from behind him, Harold Fisher turned his head to stare at the opponent's movements, he had already fumbled the release button of the infrared jamming bomb, but he knew in his heart that this time he was probably more than lucky.

At the moment when he stared at his opponent, the enemy may have pressed the missile launch button, and after a second or two launch delay, a "Archer" missile would rush towards him with a trail of flames, showing its sharp fangs at his black warhawk; In the face of the tail pursuit of the combat missiles, the major was not without a way to deal with it, but in the current passive situation, he did not feel at all that he could get rid of the continuous attacks of the "Grim Reaper" -- unless his plane only had a little ammunition left, the missiles and shells flew one after another, and even if he piloted the "Agile Eagle", it was impossible for him to dodge several fierce tail chase attacks in a row.

In the aerial duel on the line of life and death, time seems to have slowed down the rhythm of passing; Fisher, who had been altered from the barrel roll, could only push the fighter to make the fighter dive down, which was his only feasible countermeasure at the moment.

Using the good handling characteristics of the F-15S/MTD to quickly change the flight attitude, he wanted to accelerate and get rid of the opponent at once, but the major knew that this was not enough to change the current dilemma: a pair of canard wings added for aerodynamic trim became a burden for the fighter to accelerate as much as possible, and no matter how he adjusted, it was difficult to keep up with the rapid shear of the fighter's angle of attack and airflow, so that he could not give full play to the acceleration advantage of the F-15 series fighters and get rid of the "flanker" behind.
