Chapter 785: The First Kill in the Middle East
"People are stupid, money comes quickly"?
W-What's going on, did he just say that?
With the hand holding the joystick shaking slightly, the fighter plane tossed up and down a few times in the dense atmosphere, Long Yun was simply a little stunned on the spot, Qi Hui, this guy, why did he come to the Middle East, what does it mean to be "stupid people and money come quickly"?
- Oh, probably what he meant was to let himself hurry to the airspace 32 and 57, where there are a lot of fighter planes piloted by Liberal rookies, so if you shoot down one, you will have a reward of 10,000 yuan, so ...... But what is the situation of greeting people like this, is this still a real war in the sky to the death?
The enemy fled in front of him, but suddenly heard Qi Hui's nonsense in the earphones, Long Yun was only stunned for a moment, and immediately calmed down and continued to prepare for the missile launch in his hand; He quickly clicked on the target on the radar display, set the target parameters of the two R-77s that were ready for launch and the seeker was turned on, and while manipulating, he was distracted and responded loudly in the channel:
"Received, 'Long Machine', you go and deal with it first, the people on my side are quite stupid and have a lot of money!"
I don't know what kind of mentality he has, learning Qi Hui's tone in the channel to ridicule such a voice, Long Yun immediately pressed the button, threw two R-77s to attack the two Mirage 2000s in front of him, and then immediately turned on the afterburner, kicked the rudder and rolled, changed the course and chased after the enemy plane that fled in the direction of ten o'clock.
Using radar-guided missiles at ultra-low altitudes, Long Yun did not take the Liberal pilots for fools, he knew that these "Mirage" fighters would dive evasion in the same way, and even the R-77's hit rate in this situation was not optimistic. At the moment, it is more reliable to catch up with another one and directly use infrared missiles to explode chrysanthemums.
With the afterburner of the fighter in full swing. The slender Su-27SKM chases the Mirage 2000D, which has insufficient engine thrust and a lot of pylons at low altitudes. Seeing the silhouette of the enemy aircraft in his line of sight getting larger and larger, he will soon enter the range of the R-73E. However, at this moment, the two Mirage 2000Cs chasing behind also swooped down step by step, and seeing that the NATA fighter in front of them who went to the meeting alone actually turned against the enemy when the number was at an absolute disadvantage, and chased after the fleeing "Phantom" fighter all the way, the pilots of the Iraqi Liberal Party found it very incomprehensible.
Looking at the fighter plane's red paint, it doesn't look like the terrible "green dragon", why did this guy rush over with less and more battles?
Questioning the NATA fighter's reckless behavior, the FIAF pilot mobilized the on-board RDI radar to lock onto the target and fired another R530D. This kind of semi-active radar-guided missile, which has a radius larger than that of ordinary over-the-horizon missiles, looks quite bloated and has a fairly good overload capacity, but it is not very useful in the current combat situation.
Tongguò's well-developed on-board RWR system detected the radar irradiation of enemy aircraft, but Long Yun, who was piloting the Red No. 15, was not in a hurry.
In the brief encounter just now, the missiles fired by the enemy planes were all semi-active bombs, even if they were only alone and there were no other fighters around; With a little reasoning on this basis, it can be seen that these FIAF fighters are not equipped with active bombs - and now, they are in a mess with enemy aircraft, and if these Iraqis have some technical skills, they will not risk shooting with active bombs.
Make sure you won't be pursued by active projectiles. Piloting the aircraft at low altitude with the FIAF's Mirage 2000D, Longyun made full use of the Su-27SKM's superior low-altitude maneuverability compared to the "Mirage". He easily unleashed a low-power maneuver, shook off the radar lock of the tail chaser with the help of ground clutter, and then continued to accelerate to occupy the rear of the target; As the fighter maintained its attack position for more than two seconds, the on-board ZHUK-27 radar and fire control system had calculated the probability of killing, and the words "NP" (allow firing) flashed in the green heads-up display.
Seeing that the system gave a hint, Long Yun immediately pressed the missile launch button; However, he waited for a second or two but did not see any missiles fly out, and the red message of "launch failure" on the downward view monitor suddenly jumped out.
Damn, I don't know if it's a maintenance problem, the R-73E missile at the tip of the left wing actually lay on the pylon, and he ran into a stink!
Aiming at the enemy plane, but not shooting the missile, this situation will be changed to the average pilot will miss the precious shooting window, but in the parallel world to fight countless air battles, failure or something has long been commonplace for Long Yun, he quickly switched the launch configuration left and right, and then immediately pressed the button for the second time.
The button was pressed, and after less than two seconds of delay, the milky white missile on the tip of the right wing finally fired, and immediately dragged away with a cloud of smoke and flaming arrows.
The first time he participated in a battle in the sky of the Middle East, while killing the enemy, he also paid attention to saving missiles, Long Yun's attack was carried out very cautiously, he waited for the prompt of the fire control system before launching.
The pilot piloting the Mirage 2000D hurriedly made a lateral sharp turn when the missile was approaching, but this action was carried out a little late, and the sky just bloomed with a shining light of infrared jamming bombs, and the missile that flew towards it had suddenly exploded behind the tail of the fighter!
Facing so many enemy planes alone, he grabbed one cleanly, opened fire decisively, and seized the fleeting opportunity from the seemingly complicated aerial battle, and Long Yun's first kill in the Middle East was completed very smoothly.
In the face of the attack of the Red No. 15 Su-27SKM, the air had a numerical advantage of nearly ten times and was not attacked by the enemy, but the Iraqi pilots with limited skills did not adopt correct interception tactics, or they were caught off guard by the red fighters in the sky. In the sky, I only saw the runaway Mirage 2000D dragging a cloud of smoke tumbling down, and the two pilots jumped out of the parachute with their hands and feet, and the ejection seat that drew an arc in the sky pulled out a thin line one after another, and then the main umbrella that came out suddenly bloomed.
The scene of the ejection of the comrades-in-arms made the other Phantom 2000D pilots who scattered and fled in all directions see it, and suddenly found that the red NATA fighter was very powerful, and it was probably piloted by a foreign hired pilot.
Not only that, but even the No. 03 and 04 planes of the C squadron that were chasing after them were also stunned, wasn't this red-painted Su-27 being pursued by them, how could it still open fire and attack so calmly?
Accustomed to flaunting their might in the skies of the Middle East and retreating from enemy planes, the Liberal pilots were not accustomed to such a fast pace of battle, but at this time someone thought of something, and the radio was immediately filled with Arabic shouts:
"Oh my God, Abdul, they parachuted! That Sukhoi, it can't be 'that person' flying, right? ”
"What? Are you blind, Fawaz, that NATA plane is red! ”
"What are you all waiting for? Immediately prepare the Super 530 missile, - damn it, don't let him catch the opportunity and run away......"
Just when the Liberal pilots were stimulated by the "Mirage" fighter dragging smoke falling from the sky, and were arguing on the radio about "whether that person is a 'green dragon'", just as the angry leader of the captain said, the red Sukhoi fighter that completed a tail-chase attack did not fall in love, but directly pulled up and jumped, and at the same time increased the speed and climbed high at full strength, and within a few seconds of speaking, the enemy plane climbed all the way to the same height as the Mirage 2000C twin planes, obviously intending to directly accelerate out of the battle at once.
Seeing that the NATA fighter still wanted to run after the fight, the Liberal fighter plane, which felt that it had suffered a big loss, was naturally unwilling, and several Mirage 2000Cs full of missiles under the wings also turned on afterburner, and converged with each other to form a group to chase while accelerating, but there was no way to catch up because the reaction was a few seconds slower.
Originally, with the acceleration and climbing performance of the Su-27SKM, it was a little better than the Mirage 2000 with insufficient thrust-to-weight ratio, and the Longyun landline entered the climb front, and at this time it had accumulated an altitude advantage of nearly a thousand meters, and the higher the fighter flew, the easier it was to accelerate, which the pilots were very clear.
In this way, he accelerated and chased for a while, and saw that the double-tailed giant bird with a bright tail flame in his sight flew higher and higher, and his figure became smaller and smaller, and the unwilling FIAF fighter switched to RDI radar to single pulse mode and launched an over-the-horizon attack again, but the R530D, which was chasing all the way with white smoke, desperately chased after it, but still failed to catch up with the hateful hired pilot, and finally there was nothing left in the sky, only a rising black smoke on the ground behind him, It shows that there was once a short aerial battle in the skies here.
Overwhelming numerical superiority and pre-battle occupancy were ideal, but the pilots of the FIAF hit a big nail in the Red 15.
Seeing that the enemy planes in the sky had disappeared without a trace, being killed by NATA fighters back and forth, and then calmly exiting, the bearded pilots were simply angry, when did the Iraqi skies become a performance ground for the fighters of the New Party? With such an irritability, he called the ground command center to apply to continue the mission, and the Mirage 2000C, which returned with a feather, and the Mirage 2000D, which abandoned the bomb, quickly reorganized and flew north in a formation at low altitude.
Although there are no more bombs, now, there are no enemy planes in the sky anyway, and it would be good to sweep the New Party positions on the ground with aerial artillery.
Anyway, if you go out, you can't go home empty-handed! (To be continued......)
