Chapter 269: F-15 was abused

If this kind of failure occurs during training, there is a standard set of procedures: shut down the engine, let the engine spin down, and immediately restart the ignition when the turbo temperature drops below the red line.

Moreover, the F-15 is a dual-engine, and there is a titanium alloy firewall between the two engines. One engine stalls, even if it catches fire, it will not cause the plane to crash and die, and it can still drive back.

But now it's intense air combat! Stalling at this time is digging one's own grave.

Although it was only the left engine failure, it still caused the F-15 to show insufficient thrust in an instant, so Ikeda Yuji could only watch the MiG-23 fighter in front of him. Quickly stretch forward, reduce the sweep angle, and then, with incredible agility, turn around!

Damn, the Soviet MiG-23 has turned into an automatic swept wing! Yuji Ikeda has fought against the MiG-23 before. Although this aircraft has a variable swept wing, in the fierce battle, the Soviet pilots rarely changed the swept angle. They were all the same angle. Drive like a normal fighter jet.

But now, their swept wings have retracted freely! When the swept wings are fully extended, the MiG-23's maneuverability will be quite good. The small angle of the circle makes Yuji Ikeda feel that it is difficult to do it. Dump yourself!

MiG-23, will be a big trouble in the future!

Ikeda Yuji pondered and waited in level flight. Now, he had no choice but to wait for the left engine turbine to cool down. to restart the engine.

But now, the other party will not give Ikeda Yuji a chance!

When you find that the other party is cunningly slowing down. When you let yourself fly over the front of the opponent. Kovacevic immediately operated the fighter's turn, and completed a 180-degree turn in the smallest and fastest way. Although the height was slightly lowered, the opponent still appeared in his front hemisphere's field of vision.

that plane. It's not as flexible as it was just now. It's a good opportunity to fly flat like this!

Eyeing the enemy plane, Kovacevic quickly fired a second R-60 missile.

The other side is crooked. want to avoid. At the same time, a large number of thermal flares were released, but unfortunately, it was useless. The second R-60 missile exploded exactly at the position of the opponent's nose. Countless fragments flew horizontally, and entered the engine along the intake duct.

In the fiery booster rocket, Ikeda Yuji ejected, and as the right engine went out, he had no way to escape.

The battle in the air continued, and Kovacevic received an order in his earphone: "At three o'clock, the distance is ten, and the altitude is six thousand."

The fight just now kept him away from the airspace of other comrades in arms. Now, receiving the order, he immediately visually captured the target that was fighting in the midair, turned on the afterburner, and chased after him.

High in the sky, two MiG-31s ​​were circling, with powerful phased array radars illuminating the entire fighting airspace, providing guidance to their own fighters. It is a pity that the data link system is not perfect, and only voice warning can be used. Otherwise, it will not be a problem for a MiG-31 to command two squadrons!

There is an early warning of the MiG-31, which can command the air battle, and can also be alert to more enemy planes coming to sneak attack. Andrei listened to the voice of the radar operator in the rear cabin and knew that the battle would soon be over.

This time, our side is against the F-15! The most powerful three-generation aircraft in the United States! In later generations, this kind of fighter has always been the main force of China's confrontation. It's a pity, but now it is being abused by the MiG-23 of the second-generation fuselage board!

Eight F-15s were shot down by R-33 missiles fired by MiG-31s ​​at long distances. Three more were shot down in close-range combat. Two F-15s fled in confusion, and here, Only one MiG-31 was wounded and returned home injured!

The tactics of MiG-31 plus MiG-23 have proved to be completely feasible!

The MiG-31 has a powerful radar and long-range missiles, but the short-range combat capability is a shortcoming. Only in the hands of Andre can you entangle with the enemy in short-range combat. The average pilot is still far away. Distance volley is the main task.

And the MiG-23, after this modern transformation, the close-range combat capability has undergone a reborn change, but the mid-to-long-range engagement is still a shortcoming. The R-23 missile can only be said that it is better than nothing!

The combination of the two just complements each other's advantages. The MiG-31 commands the MiG-23 to engage in combat. At the same time, it can launch the R-33 missile at a long distance, giving the enemy the first wave of violent attacks. Just like today, the F-15 The fighters were originally going to launch sparrow missiles at long distances, but they had to protect themselves under the attack of the R-33 first. Their attack was disrupted, and they gave the MiG-23 fleet a chance. The MiG-23 aircraft Almost at the same time as the R-33 missile hit, the team followed, and the Americans were caught off guard.

It is a pity that the R-73 missile has not yet been put into service, and only the alternative R-60 missile can be used. On the four pylons of the MiG-23, eight R-60 missiles can be mounted, and the firepower has been greatly enhanced, giving full play to the The maneuverability advantages of distance combat and the advantages of helmet sights.

The combination of the two, this time the F-15 fighter was hard to beat, although it was only driven by the plaster flag also has great significance! Before the MiG-29 and Su-27 are in service, we no longer need to be afraid of the threat of the F-15, even if the F-14 comes, we can compete!

Although they were dazzled, the air battle only lasted for a few minutes. The two sides returned, and the sky in the eastern sea area returned to tranquility again.

The island country has already exploded.

How come there has been no good news! Every news is so frustrating!

In the Yokota base, even Lieutenant General Paul had a black face. This failure was even more intolerable to him!

"The technological development of the Soviets has exceeded our imagination. We can now fully confirm that the Soviet MiG-25, or possibly an improved version of the MiG-25, is equipped with a newer long-range missile. This missile The effective range of the fighter can reach 100 kilometers.” Colonel Russfield, chief of the intelligence division of the Pacific Command, just returned from the Chitose base. He analyzed the entire combat process and reported to Lieutenant General Paul: “The Soviet MiG The -23 has also undergone massive improvements, their swept wings have been automatically controlled, and, we suspect, they have a new way of aiming the fighting rounds, and they can fire much faster than us."
