While dictating, while holding a wooden fighter model and a pen for simulation, Long Yun vividly explained the first situation in which the fighter relied on maneuvering to evade missiles.

Then he put down the model and moved on to the second case:

"In the second case, if the incoming missile approaches from below, because the missile homing head can use PD and SP modes, do not rush into the side rotation at this time, because the missile will immediately switch to SP mode to continue tracking after losing the PD mode lock. So what to do at this time? If the situation allows, it can directly enter the climb with full afterburner, and turn while climbing to the 'hot edge' of the incoming missile (the central side of the missile's turning track), while paying close attention to the missile's maneuvering and following ability.

If, after entering the climb, it is found that the missile has insufficient energy and is obviously unable to follow, then the treatment is very simple, as long as you continue to keep the turn and climb until the missile is thrown off; On the contrary, if the missile still has energy, you must calm down to maintain the turning and climbing posture, try to put the missile into your three o'clock or nine o'clock direction, and then immediately release a set of jamming chaff, at this time the missile SP mode will be completely invalid, even if you switch to the PD mode, you will not be found, and naturally there will be no threat.

Of course, these mobile countermeasures I am talking about must be flexibly used in actual combat in combination with the combat situation and one's own judgment, and here is just to provide you with a little idea as a reference. ”

After saying this, Long Yun put down the model and pen in his hand, waiting for the people present to ask questions.

In fact, when he glanced at the audience with his hands behind his back, he knew that it would be difficult for those present to ask any questions for a while. Let's just say that these Red Air Force pilots who rushed from the front line in a hurry have not been in contact with active bombs for a long time. In this regard, it can be said that there is a lack of both theoretical knowledge and practical experience. And these simple and straightforward evasion strategies that he just mentioned. It is practiced and sorted out in the real world with the old birds who have been actively playing and crawling for many years. Of course, it is suitable for the current situation.

Compared with the AIM-120B, which is the only one in the parallel world for the time being, the advanced air-to-air missiles in the real world all use the metamorphosis technology of "multi-mode guidance", "matrix guidance" and even "cloud guidance".

"Uh, Comrade Major General,"

After a brief silence, someone finally raised their hand and asked a question:

"You just mentioned something. To avoid the incoming active missiles from the lower hemisphere, we need to pay close attention to the energy state of the missile; Personally, I don't understand this, because when I was evading the AIM-7F/M before, I almost never saw an incoming missile with a lot of energy. -- Now that the Americans have the AIM-120, they will obviously choose to increase the engagement distance, and the energy situation of the AIM-120 missile, which flies tens of kilometers, should not be optimistic, right? ”

"Ah, that's good; Colleague, the question you asked is very meaningful. ”

Because of the questions of the people present, I suddenly remembered something. Long Yun nodded appreciatively to the questioner, raised his hand to signal him to sit down first, and then picked up the lecture notes on the table and flipped through the pages that he had almost missed before.

"Slammer" caused trouble for the Red Air Force. It's not just about greater over-the-horizon pressure, and he must make this clear to his colleagues here:

"That's right, on the issue of the energy of the missile, we all know that the thrusters of over-the-horizon missiles have a limited burning time; If an enemy plane launches an over-the-horizon missile when it is still far away from us, then by the time the missile approaches, its thrusters will have already burned out and will be in the stage of unpowered flight. Missiles at this stage are not too difficult to evade, and even the AIM-120B, which has a thinner diameter and lighter weight, is not something very difficult to deal with.

But here, I would like to point out one point in particular: according to the latest VVS combat statistics report, in many battle-damaged cases in the past two weeks, the AIM-120B missiles launched by the Americans were not far away, and in some cases they were even launched in visual air combat. ”

Long Yun's words immediately caused a small commotion in the venue.

The pilots of the Red Air Force who were present had also come to Moscow from the front line of the fierce fighting, and many of them had not yet received the news or were not aware of the statement of the ace major general in front of them, and they would naturally be very surprised when they heard about it.

Yes, launching an over-the-horizon missile in a visual air battle, and the Americans will have such a surprise way of playing?

Not only have they rarely heard this statement before, but it is also far from the air combat credo of "shoot all over-the-horizon missiles before entering a visual air battle, and don't enter the combat with these burdens." Seeing the expressions of those present who were either in thought or in doubt, Long Yun knew that what he said was necessary, he cleared his throat, coughed twice, and then raised his hands to signal everyone to be quiet:

"Please be quiet! I can also tell from everyone's faces that this statement seems to be a bit novel.

But why do I say, this is very important?

As we have just said before, the emergence of the 'active radar-guided missile' as an air combat weapon is not just as simple as 'launch and forget' in over-the-horizon air combat, but will change the current air combat tactics at a certain level, which is not alarmist. Isn't it strange to launch an AIM-120B in a visual air battle, just like what you just said?

The self-guided head of the AIM-120B missile can be turned on and capture the target when the missile is mounted on the pylon; In addition, it can be launched directly after powering up, and the seeker can capture the target on its own after the missile is launched. In both cases, the use of active missiles is actually very similar to that of infrared-guided missiles, but with a more powerful head-on interception capability. In other words, unlike the previous rules of fighting, when the enemy and the enemy are approaching head-on within visual range and both are in the direction of the other party at 12 o'clock, the Americans' response is not only to try their luck with the 'rattlesnake', but also to use the 'Slammer' to intercept them head-on. ”

With such an explanation, or inspiration, many pilots at the scene fell into the myth of shock, and most of them did not think of such a truth before; But after thinking about it in light of what I have learned today, I have to admit that Victor's words are very correct.

Yes, although there is no previous experience in the use of over-the-horizon missiles in dogfight, but from a theoretical analysis, if it is an active missile -

It is indeed possible! (To be continued......)
