Chapter 19： The location of the chrysanthemum

After the Americans came into contact with the MiG-25 that Belenko had defected from, they came to the conclusion that the maneuverability was bad based on the fact that this fighter was made of steel. In fact, this was completely wrong.

Even in the Gulf War, the MiG-25 can still stand-alone confrontation with the Americans, and it has also shot down American fighter jets. The performance of this steel-made fighter is still impressive under the action of a powerful engine.

Moreover, the high strength brought by stainless steel allows this fighter to perform large overload maneuvers. Like now, Andre felt his body being pressed against the seat. Just a roll, he pulled out the 4G overload. Come.

Although this gets rid of the opponent's lock, but at the same time, it also means that the distance with the opponent is increasing, and the solution is quite simple, that is, make another turn! These two side turns form an S-shaped route, which is the most basic snake-like maneuver in air combat.

The MiG-25 had already dropped to subsonic speed, and the turn just now drew a one-kilometer turning radius in the air.

In later generations, many people criticized the MiG-25 for only flying in a straight line, and it was also nicknamed a straight-line fighter. Indeed, if the MiG-25 is flying at the highest speed, it is impossible for the MiG-25 to turn a corner without a radius of tens of kilometers, but now, after the MiG-25 decelerates, the required turning radius also begins The rapid shortening, especially the differential horizontal tail of the MiG-25, provides additional steering torque, allowing the fighter, which already has sufficient steering torque, to complete the turn more quickly.

In order to adapt to maneuvering at high altitude, the various rudder surfaces of the MiG-25 are very large, and at low altitudes with sufficient air, the torque of the rudder surface is even more amplified, and even the control is over-controlled due to the excessive torque. . From another point of view, it means that as long as it is operated properly, this fighter will also have strong mobility!

You must know that the current second-generation aircraft, even the F-4, has a turning radius of 1,500 meters!

Let those brick-and-mortar homeowners cool off! Andre was operating this huge steel fighter. Under the control of a large area of ​​​​rudder, he completed two turns. At the same time, the height dropped from 22,000 to 18,000. Andre's eyes looked outside, just Two bright spots in a clear sky were found.

Has entered the line of sight!

On the display panel of the newly added TP-26-SH1 forward looking infrared search/tracking system of the fighter, the signal of the intercepted target has already appeared. In this clear sky, the interception distance of this system can reach 40 kilometers!

The individual electronic technology of the Soviets is very poor, but integrating these systems with less advanced performance can produce powerful effects. This is the advantage of the Soviets!

Andre flipped the switch with his finger, and the R-60 missile under the wing had already started to warm up. The infrared missiles of this era have no head-on attack capability, so they can only chase after them. For the time being, there is no need to worry that the other party will launch missiles to intercept them.

The two sides were rapidly approaching, and when they passed by, the eye-catching plaster red appeared in Andre's pupils.

It's from an island country! These shameless dwarfs! Andre pushed the control stick to the right, and at the same time pushed the rudder on the right side, the huge rudder surface of the double vertical tail turned, the differential vertical tail, and the rudder surface of the wing were all following the action, the whole steel fighter was moving rapidly. turn.

Almost at the same time, Andre turned on the afterburner of the engine. When turning, he would lose altitude and speed, and these needed to be provided by powerful power.

Eleven tons of fuel have been burned, plus the missiles, the weight of the whole machine is now about 25 tons, and the two engines that can provide more than 11,000 Newton thrust each add up to 23,000 Newtons. The thrust-to-weight ratio exceeds 0.92, which is almost the same as that of the lightweight and flexible J-7. The engine with strong thrust bursts into it, replenishing a steady stream of energy to make up for the loss in the steering process, and the speed of the fighter is further improved.

At the same time, the two F-4 fighter jets are also turning. Their mission is to intercept this terrifying invading fighter jet. The other side got rid of the lock in the over-the-horizon air battle. Now, after flying head-to-head within the line of sight, They also started to turn quickly.

His body was tightly pressed against the seat by the huge overload. Warrant Officer Yamada tried his best to turn his head and looked behind him. He had to turn around first, and then use his nose to aim at the opponent's rear hemisphere!

Although the head-on overflight was just a moment, he had already seen clearly that the huge fighter plane with two engines and two vertical tails painted with red five stars was the latest weapon of the Soviets, the MiG-25 fighter!

When this type of fighter first appeared at the Moscow military parade, listening to the commentator saying that it could fly three times the speed of sound, the West fell into an inexplicable panic. This fighter has no fear, that is impossible.

And now, even though he has encountered such a fighter, in order to protect the early warning aircraft in the rear, Warrant Officer Yamada has no choice, he must intercept this fighter!

With the side turn, the sky in the field of vision also rotates, but where is the target?

"Captain, at six o'clock, he's behind you!" After almost 270 degrees, Warrant Officer Yamada's earphones heard the voice of the wingman pilot.

The two fighter planes came in formation and turned in different directions. When the wingman completed the heavy overload maneuver and almost recovered from the black vision, the wingman pilot found that the MiG-25 had flown behind his leader's ass. !

At six o'clock! This is a place to be blasted! The opponent's fighter jet is so flexible?

After only a few seconds of afterburner, Andre was already distressed by the burning fuel. However, looking at the F-4 fighter in front, the two J79 turbojet engines at the rear were burning hot flames. The R-60 missile carried by him has been locked before launch. As long as he presses the button on the operating lever, he can smash the chrysanthemum of the F-4 fighter.

Islander, Master is the attacker, you are the beast!

Suddenly, the flames at the tail of the F-4 fighter in front became even hotter. Obviously, the opponent had turned on the afterburner and wanted to get rid of it.

This is an inexperienced pilot! At this time, you are still using afterburner, afraid that your missiles will not be locked firmly enough? Andre looked at the fighter plane through the goggles of the narrow helmet. In this case, I will play with you!
