Chapter 70： Intercept failed

The turning of the Blackbird is very slow, just flying at a speed of Mach 3.2, and the turning requires a radius of hundreds of kilometers. However, Lieutenant Colonel Olmsted is very confident, because the head-on interception requires the missile's response to be fast enough. !

The two missiles passed by from a distance, and at such a speed, all they could see were two bright spots like meteors flashing past.

There are two more!

It only took a few seconds. Then, the other two missiles crossed a bright arc and detonated the warhead at a distance of a few hundred meters from the Blackbird.

The launch weight of the R-40T is nearly half a ton, and the warhead is nearly 40 kilograms. Countless broken rod warheads are flying in the air. Unfortunately, the fragments of these warheads did not catch up with the black bird that accelerated to Mach 3.5!

Look, no missile can hit the Blackbird!

For the R-40T missile flying head-to-head, the seeker had already locked on the blackbird with its fiery infrared characteristics, but the control circuit inside the missile could not keep up with the speed of the blackbird! When it was transmitted to the tail and controlled the rudder surface, it was half a beat slower. In this way, I thought that if I moved the tail, I would be able to jump to the front of the black bird, and then detonate the warhead. At this high speed, it is not a precise impact, as long as At a distance of more than ten meters, the warhead detonates, and even if a broken rod hits the blackbird, it can smash the blackbird out of control and crash!

Unfortunately, the control of the circuit is too slow! The relative speed of Mach 8 can only be described as lightning-like speed. It was too late, but it was fast at that time, but it still didn’t explode!

If the response of the rudder surface is more sensitive, the response time of the control system is faster, or the tail chase attack may work!

It was only a few seconds, it seemed like a century. Although it was not the first time for the reconnaissance system officer in the rear cabin to perform a mission, he still felt sweat on his back, and finally got rid of those missiles!

The MiG-25 followed the missile in front and flew up against the black bird. The blue target clearly appeared in Andre's field of vision.

The SR-71 Blackbird is originally black, but when it flies at a speed of Mach 3 or more, the surface will turn light blue due to friction with the air. Like a blue flame, it suddenly disappeared from Andre's field of vision.

Interception failed!

The previous interception was the basic MiG-25P. Now, Andre is driving an improved fighter such as the MiG-25PD, but the interception failed!

The voice of the ground guide's return came from the earphones, and Andrei drove the fighter plane back to the Sokolovka base.

"The order of the Air Defense Command has been issued, let us shoot down the blackbird no matter what we can do! Even if it hits, we must knock down the Americans!" Colonel Ivanov, head of the 513th regiment, said: Said to the flight crew of the whole regiment.

The arrogance of the Americans is really arrogant. It used to be night, but now, it is daytime. During the day, they come to investigate with great fanfare! As the homeland air defense force of the Soviet Union, there is no way for them to do anything, which is simply too embarrassing!

"Our existing weapons and equipment cannot achieve the purpose of intercepting blackbirds." Just after taking off the flight suit similar to the high-altitude compensation suit, Andre sat on the side of the conference table and spoke his thoughts.

I was a pilot in my previous life, and I knew a little about the world's aviation equipment. When the MiG-25 was introduced in the public information, it was said that the Soviet fighter, which was 3 times the speed of sound, could follow the Blackbird and attack the Americans. At that time, Andre was a little puzzled. The American Blackbird reconnaissance plane invaded the airspace of the Soviets, and the Soviets were still very friendly and followed behind to supervise? Grandma's, according to the temper of the Soviets, has already attacked!

Now Andrei understands, so the Soviets are putting gold on their faces, because the Soviets can't shoot down the Blackbird reconnaissance plane! So it can only be followed behind the butt!

Not only the Blackbird could not be shot down, but the Soviets' own MiG-25R reconnaissance aircraft also had no record of being shot down in the mission. Now, attacking fighter planes above three times the speed of sound is indeed beyond the present. some technical level.

Due to the inherent defects of radio command remote control guidance and semi-active radar homing guidance, its accuracy has been unable to attack such targets that move more than 600 meters in one second. At a relatively short distance, the firing window is too narrow, and due to the low maneuverability of the missile, it cannot be effectively attacked at all. As for the air-to-air missile of the infrared seeker, the same is true. The mobility of the missile at this time is not yet the overload of 35G to 50G in later generations, and the electronic performance of the missile is too poor to effectively launch an attack!

Since he became a hero of the Soviet Union, Andre has won the respect of the whole regiment. Moreover, in the previous actions, Andre has always been bold and pungent. This time, everyone thought that Andre was going to heaven. The black bird can be beaten down, but now, the black bird is still flying over with majesty!

Ivanov frowned when he heard Andrei's words and said to Andrei, "Andrei, do we really have no other way?"

"Yes!" Andre said firmly: "Our electronic technology is not up to the task of shooting down a target three times the speed of sound, but we can take a local approach. We can transform my fighter and install a two-door hanging type. Cannon!"

At the current level, using missiles to kill the black bird is definitely hopeless. The only thing that can be relied on is the cannon!

Although the Soviet Union was influenced by the omnipotence of missiles, it did not remove the cannon from the second-generation aircraft like the West. The MiG-21 and MiG-23 all used the cannon as the main weapon. However, the MiG- 25 has no cannons.

This is related to the combat target. The MiG-21 and MiG-23 are fighter jets. The task is to destroy the enemy's fighter jets. The Soviet electronic technology and high-efficiency rocket engine technology are immature, and they must continue to use the cannon. This kind of weapon, and the United States, with the advancement of electronic technology, believes that the cannon is useless. As a result, the Americans suffered a great loss in the Vietnam War.

However, the MiG-25 is an interceptor. Its task is to intercept enemy bombers quickly and efficiently. Using missiles to attack is the most suitable choice. The cannons are not equipped to increase the weight of the MiG-25. It is useless.

But now, to fight blackbirds, the cannon is a good choice!

Hearing Andre's words, everyone was stunned for a moment, using the cannon?

"Andrei, this doesn't seem to work, right?" Ivanov couldn't help but deny it when he heard Andrei's words Welcome to reading, the latest, fastest and most popular serial works are all At mobile phone users please go to read.
