Red Soviet Union

Chapter 36: Head-on interception of Sparrow missiles

The United States attaches great importance to the defection of Belenko, and Annie is also an intelligence officer assigned by the CIA. In order to operate in the Soviet Union, this intelligence officer has been hiding for four years.

It is very difficult to place intelligence personnel in the Soviet Union. The circulation of personnel here is small, and the vigilance of people is also quite high. Therefore, unless there is a major situation, the United States will not use these intelligence personnel.

The Soviet MiG-25 fighter, this advanced fighter that can reach double-three, has brought heavy pressure to the United States. Coupled with the "Trek" incident of the EP-3, the Americans need to reverse the passive In this situation, instigating the defection of a MiG-25 has become the most urgent task of the CIA.

Annie has done it very well. After investigation, she chose Belenko as the breakthrough point. This guy who was dissatisfied with the Soviet system and lost his wife and children is the most promising to defect. After a quick love affair, Annie will Belenko conquered.

In the last step of the whole defection, Belenko flew the MiG-25 fighter jet to Hokkaido, which was also the most critical. The United States dispatched two F-4 fighter jets, hovering over Hokkaido, waiting.

And at this last stage, something went wrong.

When the ultra-low-altitude target was found, the F-4 fighter pilot Major Dick Houston and his wingman thought that this was the defecting fighter they were waiting for, but when the two F-4 fighters flew westward, When I approached to greet them, I found that there were two!

Two MiG-25s? How is this going? Just as the two F-4 fighter jets roared, the airborne radar spotted one of the MiG-25s and was firing on the other MiG-25! Obviously, the Soviets have discovered Belenko's defection!

Protect this MiG-25! The two F-4 fighters quickly got ready for battle, and the AN/APQ-120 launched a continuous wave to lock on the attacking MiG-25!

Only by killing the trailing MiG-25, can we protect the defected fighters in front! At this moment, the two F-4 fighters locked on the MiG-25 in front. At the same time, they were not afraid of escalating into a world war because of this conflict. Both fired two Sparrow missiles!

Unfortunately, it was too late. Just when they locked the MiG-25 in the back, the fighter jet that defected in front had already fallen into the Sea of ​​Japan!

After receiving the order from the rear, Andre, who was planning to return home, heard the sharp sound of the radar warning receiver in his earphones, and he was locked!

Here is still a hundred nautical miles from Hokkaido, and the other party dares to launch missiles at him in this public waters! Andrei was fortunate that he had just executed the order correctly and shot down Belenko, otherwise, entangled by the two F-4s, Andrei would have been really unable to take into account the defected Belenko.

How do you feel when you are locked on by the opponent's radar and the opponent has launched a missile? In later generations, when air-to-air missiles have been overloaded by more than 40, they are almost locked, which means they have been shot down. Even if they are evaded, it is entirely a matter of character, especially for medium-range interceptors that use active radar seekers. And the future generations of close-range combat bombs using infrared focal plane arrays, it is also quite difficult to get rid of them by decoys and maneuvers. When locked, pilots will subconsciously panic in their hearts.

But now, in the 1970s, the missile hit rate was pitifully low!

The AIM-9 Sidewinder missile has no head-on interception capability yet. Since the opponent is launching a missile head-on, it must be the AIM-7 Sparrow missile.

The development of the Sparrow missile can be traced back to the end of the 1940s. At that time, Douglas began to study the anti-air weapons mounted on fighter aircraft. Until 1969, the missile developed to the AIM-7E-2, and its performance was still not ideal. , During the Vietnam War, the pilots of the U.S. Air Force almost always fired all the missiles at one time in order to shoot down the enemy aircraft. When the Vietnam War ended, the missile hit rate calculated by the United States was slightly lower than zero percent. Just a little higher.

Until this year, the performance of the latest modified AIM-7F has been stabilized and can be used for a while. However, it has just been successfully developed this year, and it will never be deployed to the island country first. The US military's leading equipment, first of all Deployed in Europe. In later generations, the AIM-7M, which was replaced with a new seeker, had excellent air combat capabilities and became a weapon of the US Air Force.

Now, facing the missiles coming from the opponent, and listening to the sharp siren in the radar warning receiver, Andre didn't panic. He accelerated the fighter and continued to fly forward.

Although he received the order to return, he was intercepted by two enemy planes. If Andre turned around, he would expose the chrysanthemum to the other side. At this time, Andre's altitude and speed wanted to accelerate to Mach 2.4. It still took a few minutes, so Andre chose to continue to fly head-to-head.

The four Sparrow missiles~www.readwn.com~ were also flying towards Andre. In the clear sky, Andre saw those missiles three kilometers away.

It's getting closer, it's getting closer, Andre sees through the helmet goggles, and inside his pupils are the four missiles coming like spears.

it's time! Andre slammed on the afterburner, then pulled the lever back.

The huge steel fighter, like an enraged cobra, began to climb upwards in an instant.

At this time, half of the fuel in the aircraft has been consumed, and the thrust-to-weight ratio of the fighter exceeds 0.8. Although it cannot climb vertically without any effort, compared with the Sparrow missile, which has already burned out the propellant and is completely flying by inertia, The MiG-25 has extremely high mobility.

The two sparrow missiles did not keep up with Andre's pace, and continued to fly forward. The semi-active radar guidance antenna at the front of the warhead could not receive the echo, and lost the guidance in an instant, and could only continue to fly for more than ten seconds. After that, I chose to self-destruct.

The other two Sparrow missiles climbed up with Andre's MiG-25, but the speed became slower and slower. When they were still one kilometer away from Andre's fighter, they had lost all kinetic energy and began to fell down.

Relying on a simple climbing action, four missiles were thrown off. Although it was not as good as the J-11 with a thrust-to-weight ratio of more than 1 in later generations, it was quite good. Andre, who leveled the fighter, blinked in his eyes. The light of battle.

If the Americans didn't launch missiles at themselves, they could go back to their own homes and find their own mothers. Now, since the Americans take the initiative to provoke, don't blame yourself for being rude.
