Babylonian Empire

AIM-120 is a newly developed air-to-air missile. This missile uses a new rocket engine, resulting in a power range of up to [-] kilometers. In practice, it can have a head-on range of [-] kilometers.

But the Sky Flash missile is improved from the Sparrow missile. Although the engine has also been improved, the maximum head-on launch range will not exceed [-] kilometers.

In this case, Jon temporarily took the advantage, and took the lead in launching the missiles he carried, and adopted the most daring way of attacking two targets at the same time.

The radar beam is constantly scanning the airspace, while the onboard computer is running at high speed, continuously providing guidance data for the missile.

When the locked signal was heard in the headset, the Iraqi pilots knew they were in trouble this time.

At this time, they are also ready to launch, but it is not yet time to launch the missile.

The flying speed of missiles is faster than that of airplanes. So, can they continue to fly forward and then launch missiles?What they rely on is that their own missiles are actively guided in the final stage. Therefore, as long as the missiles are sent to the active range, they can maneuver and get rid of them.

While hesitating, an order from the AWACS came, telling them to immediately turn [-] degrees and fly in two directions.

An important function of the early warning aircraft is to direct the air battle. When the missile fired by the Israeli plane was discovered, the pupils of Sutter's eyes immediately dilated.

A fighter plane guides two missiles at the same time, which has almost never appeared before.

The most common U.S. Navy F-14 Tomcat fighter with this capability, however, the first is that the United States has not deployed this fighter to the Middle East, and Israel has not equipped this fighter. Second, if the F-14 -[-], then, the phoenix missile it carries can be launched at a distance of [-] kilometers, so there is no need to run to such a short distance at all.

Then, there is only one other possibility, and that is the new weapon system!

Iraq has never built a car behind closed doors. They often communicate with the outside world, such as the Saudi Air Force, or the Western world. Sater also knows that the United States has a new air-to-air missile that has entered active service, but it has not been exported to Israel. However, looking at it now Come on, it is very likely that the Israelis have already obtained this advanced missile, and mounted it on their F-15 fighter plane!

The first thousand and 110 eight chapters attack early warning aircraft

However, Sartre knows that this multi-target attack capability seems to be very fast, so that one Israeli fighter can engage two of its own fighters at the same time. , which means that it will attack first, but its disadvantage is also very obvious.

Its radar, after all, is not an electronically scanned phased array radar. The antenna of the flat-panel slot radar still needs to rotate, and in the initial stage of the missile's flight, the radar needs to provide it with electromagnetic signals.

If the target is just an aircraft, then it can achieve the purpose of always launching towards the target direction by changing the direction of the antenna and turning the fuselage at the same time.However, if missiles are fired at two targets at the same time, then the two targets can escape the opponent's radar field of view as long as they move away from each other at a large angle in two different directions. In this way, the opponent can only abandon one target and only track one target, or , both targets will miss.

Sartre's adaptability verified the truth that in air combat, early warning aircraft are very important, and excellent commanders are even more important. If Sartre does not have this knowledge, then, it is very likely that their early warning aircraft will suffer losses .

After the two Mirage 4000 fighters flew in two directions, Jon immediately discovered the risks involved. He had to make a choice, should he give up one of them, only follow the other, or give up both?

He immediately made his choice, giving up two goals!

Because, now his course is heading in the direction of the AWACS. In such a tight time, he must shoot down the opponent's AWACS. Although he didn't shoot down the two escorting fighter jets, they were dispersed by himself. Fly in a direction away from yourself, which gives yourself a good opportunity.

The F-15 turned on the afterburner and continued to accelerate forward.

And those two targets were moving towards the edge of the radar screen quickly, and large red characters appeared on the screen, which meant that the other party was about to miss the target.

Jon didn't care about it, he only noticed that the distance to the bright spot in the center of his radar screen was gradually shrinking, and under the wings, the other two missiles were ready to launch.

Eighty kilometers, seventy kilometers, sixty kilometers, and fifty kilometers in the process of tailgating can fully play a role.

At this time, the other two missiles had been unlocked.

However, the target he needs most is already within his range!

The salvo of two missiles must shoot down the opponent's early warning aircraft!

It was only then that Sutter realized the serious mistake he had made. Although he commanded the two escorting fighter jets and escaped the opponent's missile attack, their original mission was still not completed, because their mission was in vain. , is to escort this early warning aircraft of his own!

The early warning aircraft was remodeled from a transport aircraft. Its maneuverability was already low, but after refitting, with the addition of large plates and other equipment, the aerodynamic performance was even worse. Therefore, as long as it was targeted by a missile, there was basically no possibility of escape.

Although the early warning aircraft is also equipped with infrared decoy bombs, platinum strips and other things, they can play very little role in dealing with modern high-performance radars.

The two Mirage 4000s have already flown more than ten kilometers to both sides. When they turned around, the AWACS had already been tracked by the opponent's missile before they reached the range of the missile. When they launched the missile, the AWACS had already been hit by the missile. down!

The captain in front had already increased the engine of the plane to the maximum, but the plane was still in a very dangerous situation on the 1st.

There was already a smile in Jon's eyes, he put his finger on the button on the joystick, and then pressed it.

However, in the next second, his face changed, and the missile under the wing did not respond!

AIM-120 is an advanced medium-range air-to-air missile. Some of its launch procedures are different from AIM-7. Although Israel has obtained this missile, they have not been trained how to use it. In the past two days, they have come into contact with the manual of this missile.

So, Jon didn't know that he made a mistake. Just now he used a multi-target attack method, but now he uses two salvos to hit one target. Therefore, a switch in the weapon control switch needs to be toggled. However, in such an urgent situation, Jon forgot the essentials of this operation.

As a result, for the missiles, it is thought that they are going to attack two targets at the same time, and the second target has not yet been locked. Therefore, although there is already a locked screen on the interface, the missile will not be launched.

Jon made such a mistake and lost the best chance to launch the missile. In the current air battle, a few seconds can be the difference between life and death.

The people in the AWACS seemed to feel that death was approaching them. The Israeli plane had already flown [-] kilometers away from them. He would definitely launch a missile!And, after hearing the locking sound just now, that almost meant the death knell sounded.

However, after waiting for a few seconds, they did not find the bright spot representing the missile on the radar screen. The plane continued to approach them, and the two escorting fighter jets of their own had reached the position where they could launch medium-range bombs. superior.

Jon was very depressed. For him, he only thought of one word, mechanical failure!

Although the Israeli ground crews are very dedicated and excellent, they have never maintained this kind of missiles after all. Therefore, the mounting of these missiles requires the help of American staff. However, compared to The attitude of Israel and the United States may not be serious enough, which has led to the mechanical failure of the two missiles now, which is the most terrible thing.

Of course, Jon didn't know, and he was completely to blame for this matter. The United States knows the current situation in Israel. These missiles have been completely tested and there is no problem.

However, whether it was a mechanical failure or an operational error, Jon would never know.

Even if the missile could not be launched, Jon didn't give up. He wanted to keep approaching. When he was close enough to use the Sidewinder missile, he could use the short-range missile he carried to kill the early warning aircraft.

As long as he can launch the missile, his mission will be considered complete. The Sidewinder missile absolutely does not need the radar to provide beam guidance.

As for the possibility of being knocked down by the two escort fighter jets that had turned around, Jon didn't care.

At this time, the first Aideli fighter plane that went out has been killed by a sniper. He shot down a Mirage 4000, and the remaining Mirage 4000 fighter jet is also coming quickly. They all need to protect themselves early warning aircraft.

Jon didn't have any ideas, he just wanted to use the two Sidewinder missiles he carried to complete his mission this time.

…… Two Israeli F-16 fighter jets quickly passed through the southern part of Israel, and entered Saudi airspace in the Gulf of Aqaba. Under the wings, two laser-guided bombs aimed at a Saudi long-range aircraft deployed here. radar station.

In a flash of fire, the radar station was destroyed.

Afterwards, Israeli warplanes began to dispatch on a large scale and entered the airspace of Saudi Arabia. Their target was the air force base on the Hesma Plain.

Since the Iraqi early warning aircraft was in the northernmost part of Jordan at this time, although it can also monitor here, the effect is not the best.

After the radar station was blown up, Israel's ultra-low-flying fighter planes would hide their tracks and destroy the air force base.

The air forces of Iraq and Saudi Arabia, taking off from that base, can directly support the Sinai Peninsula and the Gaza Strip, so they must blow up this base.

However, they did not know that the actions of the Saudi Air Force were also very rapid.An E-3 early warning aircraft of the Saudi Air Force that took off from the Hail area is coming here. They have taken over the command task of the Ericsson God Eye early warning aircraft and are responsible for directing the air battle in the south.

The C3I system integration work that Iraq has been carrying out has played a huge role at this time. Due to the interlinked data links, the early warning aircraft of the Saudi Air Force can directly command the battle of the Iraqi fleet.

At the same time, an early warning aircraft in southern Israel also took off to direct the battle of the Israeli Air Force.
