To talk about the AIM-120, of course, its own power performance is not bad, but with an upward launch that climbs nearly two thousand meters like this, it can still exert an overload turning capability of up to 40G in the rear section of the trajectory?

No kidding, that's impossible!

After entering the climb, Long Yun immediately found that the missile's energy was obviously insufficient and would not pose a threat too severely, so he immediately contacted Suvorov and reminded him to release a set of jamming chaff strips before the follow-up action, and then according to the predetermined plan before the war, he stabilized the sidesticks and increased the fuel injection in the combustion chamber, and began to perform a horizontal evacuation maneuver with the wingman separated from each other.

With the rapid climb of the two Su-27S, and then the separation of each other, the first batch of over-the-horizon attacks by the Americans was declared unsuccessful.

Immediately after the climb, a small radius hovering close to angular velocity, the dragon cloud in the cockpit was able to barely distinguish the incoming missile against the background of the sea surface from the dim black vision while bearing a huge overload. The "Slammer", which had burned out and was turning its rudder in vain to catch up with the target, was already visibly unable to follow, and one of them was completely off target due to chaff interference, and it was not known where it was going to fly.

Confirming from the radio that Suvorov, who was hovering to the right, was also unharmed, Long Yun waved his clenched fist to deal with the evasive tactics of the incoming missiles in the lower hemisphere, and both of them completed it successfully!

But at this time, he didn't have time to rejoice about it, and the intense encounter had only just begun.

In the maneuver evasion just now, Johnson's twin planes, which were killed from an altitude of 8,000 meters and at a speed of Mach 1.4, had also joined the battle group. They were diving at high speed, trying to hit the flankers head-on with the "flanks" circling to the left. Just a few tens of seconds ago, seizing the opportunity of the Russian fighter to evade it, Lieutenant Colonel Johnson finally locked the two difficult "flankers" with radar, and the fire control system also gave a launch prompt; But at this time, another group of F-15C twin aircraft entered the missile launch cone of himself and his wingman because of tail pursuit, and the risk of self-imposed oolong made him unable to get close to launch a "Slammer" salvo attack, which naturally annoyed him.

Now seeing that on the radar display, the two points of light representing the enemy plane are spreading left and right, he immediately contacted the friendly plane on the radio, asked the "Wrangler" No. 3 and No. 4 to turn to the right, and pursued the other "Flanker", while he and the wingman adjusted the course to prepare to fight the Russians, and gave full play to the advantage of the speed of engagement to repeatedly plunder and kill the opponent!

Immerse yourself in a fierce chase battle in which the enemy and the enemy are intertwined and the air tracks are extremely messy. The American pilots did not realize it. They have found themselves in a very dangerous situation.

Just now, when the two Su-27S were separated from the left and right, Long Yun instructed the wingman to turn to the right to attract the attention of the low-altitude F-15 twin planes, while he drove the Red Seventeen, which was full of eight missiles, to turn to the left. Prepare to turn 180 degrees to meet another group of F-15Cs pressed down at high altitude.

This tactical arrangement. It seems to be letting the wingman do the dirty work. In fact, it is a very reasonable arrangement.

For Long Yun's Red Seventeen, the Su-27S full of missiles added a little more weight out of thin air, and it was naturally impossible for him to fly a landline in this state to enter a circled air battle with the F-15C, which has a lower current airspeed; In addition, he has another consideration. Another group of F-15 twin planes in the high altitude has been chasing after them all the way from just now, and whoever circles to the left between himself and Suvorov will have to fight against this group of twin planes, and the situation of circling to the left is actually even more dangerous.

It's too late, that's fast, just after Long Yun controlled the landline to turn sharply to the left, and the black vision of the centrifugal overload guide appeared in front of him, he immediately looked to his left side, and sure enough, the Americans who were closely pursuing did not take their own tactics lightly, and the two F-15Cs were also circling to the right side one after the other, and they were all trying to pursue Suvorov's Red No. 15!

Noticing the opponent's movements, Long Yun didn't have a chance to think more, the radar detection and the loud warning of the RWR were reminding him that at twelve o'clock, the enemy plane was coming!

At this moment, it is the F-15C twin aircraft led by Johnson who swooped down from high in the western sky and was playing murderously.

Just now because of the blocking of the friendly plane and missed the opportunity to chase the attack, the lieutenant colonel is at this time extremely nimble operation radar lock on to the opponent, from the engagement to the present he and the wingman have not fired a single bullet, hanging so many "Slammer" into the fight, is not a good idea!

Four AIM-120Bs weighing 158 kg are still too cumbersome for the "Eagle", which regards the push ratio as life.

Having just witnessed the Russians scattering and turning sideways in his sight, Johnson had no more certainty about the shape of the current situation, Johnson only had time to prompt the wingman to turn to the left after launching the attack, and then pressed the launch button continuously just when the fire control had just captured the Russian fighter and had not yet finished the calculation.

The target distance is less than eight thousand meters, what are you waiting for fire control at this time!

One after another, the gray-white AIM-120B missiles broke away from the body of the fighter plane, which was sprinting rapidly, and drew a dense trail of firing in the sky; I don't know whether they are afraid of the "flanker" in front of them or are eager to achieve results, but the lieutenant colonel and wingman actually shot six "Slammers" in one go, which is an expensive war weapon with a price of more than 400,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to several times the price of the AIM-7M "Sparrow"!

However, no matter how expensive the missiles are, when they really reach the battlefield of air combat where life and death are fighting, naturally no one can care about that much.

Seeing the white smoke left by the missile burst out of his line of sight, Johnson also immediately pulled the lever and jumped after launching the missile, and at the same time switched the fire control working mode, preparing to use the "Sidewinder" to attack in the follow-up battle. However, as a veteran of combat experience, he also knew that the AIM-9L missile was not very reliable for the use of the AIM-9L in a staggered head-on confrontation between friend and foe, and it was important to pay attention to the Russian's AA-11 "Archer", so he immediately pushed the lever into a dive and circled after making a feint, and separated from the wingman who turned to the left far from each other.

At this time, the lieutenant colonel planned very clearly in his heart, no matter which side the Russians turned after the head-on encounter, they would always fall into the tail chase of themselves or their wingman, and then they could use their speed advantage to immediately catch up with their opponents, and then launch a "rattlesnake" to blow him away!

Just when Johnson was thinking about his next move, in the face of several "Slammers" that were intercepted head-on, Long Yun's maneuver response was also fast.

Piloting the full hung Red No. 17 to face the incoming missile, at this time the distance between the enemy and us was very close, and there was no room for him to use the standard sideways maneuver, so he mustered up the courage and dared to fly straight in the direction of the missile, until he was unusually close to the "Slammer" with amazing speed, and then suddenly flipped the fuselage with the side rod and entered the overload and violent reverse buckle dive and threw off!

Walking through the clear blue sky, it was like walking through the missile fire, and Long Yun's victory in danger achieved a thrilling but expected result.

The AIM-120B, which had just been launched by the carrier aircraft and had a fierce thruster tail flame, although it was extremely powerful and soon reached a maximum speed of more than Mach 3, was too high to make a turn with a smaller radius to follow. A missile with a speed of more than Mach 3 would need to be overloaded by more than 20 times that of a fighter with a speed of Mach 0.7 to fly the same turning radius as the latter: even taking into account the correction of proportional guidance, this means that the "Slammer" can only keep up with the target performing the 5G overload maneuver with all its might, and this kind of process is certainly not worth mentioning to Long Yun.

With the movement of the target in the field of vision of the homing head, the gray-white AIM-120Bs dragging orange pulse flames turned forward and followed downward, but could not break through the 40G overload limit, and finally all became at a loss after rushing over the head, turning from murderous and deadly throwing guns to wanderers with nothing to do.

The dense and blind launch of missiles in a hurry is not a threat to him!

After diving and throwing off from the "Slammer's" shot, Long Yun immediately changed the rudder from the dive to the left side continuously, and he chose the same sideways direction as the F-15C long plane; However, the purpose of this action was not to make contact with the long plane that had just launched an attack on him, and the airspeed counter also unmistakably told him that the speed difference between himself and his opponent was still very large.

Piloting a fighter plane from an overload and a violent dive to a sideways turn may take more time to get rid of the problem of black vision if it is an ordinary pilot; But Long Yun's vision was already relatively clear at this time, and he suddenly spotted a blue-white figure about a thousand meters away, flying head-on with him.

Very well, Suvorov's movements were timely, just like the tactics he had just drawn up!

In intense air battles, especially in visual combat, pilots rarely even make radio calls to each other, and tactical coordination is entirely based on a tacit understanding that has been practiced in peacetime. But this little man from Kazan, he is indeed experienced, quite accurately executed the orders given to him by the long plane, did not entangle with the F-15C twin planes circling behind him, but turned 270 degrees with full force and flew straight north away.

After discovering the Russians' evacuation maneuver, the Americans flying the F-15C at low altitude chose to follow up with the two planes and turn to the right, and the consequences of this improper response are now completely exposed.

Unlike one-on-one combat, on the battlefield of multi-aircraft air combat, a simple tail chase often does not solve the problem. (To be continued......)
