Chapter 787 sneak attack and counterattack

He stared at the target and expressed some emotion, Long Yun was not making a fuss.

tu-22, a large-angle swept wing developed by the Soviet Union in the 1960s, with a long-range supersonic bomber with the engine on both sides of the vertical tail, NATO gave it an inexplicable nickname "blinder" and it sounded quite weak. In fact, the performance of this bomber was quite advanced at the time.

Of course, in today's modern battlefield, it can only be a large supersonic target machine.

But as the saying goes, "there are no backward weapons, only weapons from the wrong place." In a land like the Middle East where wars are frequent, the ground is on duty with old air defense systems, and the sky is full of third-generation fighter jets that lack support systems fight each other. The tu-22 bomber with internal bullet cabins and capable of supersonic penetration is still a very threatening weapon. Generally, fighter jets cannot catch up if they do not turn on the force; if the Liberal regime really dispatches such bombers to soft targets such as cities, villages, etc., it would be a very terrifying thing.

As for whether the Baghdad regime will use chemical weapons and other things on its own territory without any scruples during the civil war?

He had heard a little about some dark scenes of the Iraq-Iraq War. Long Yun was not optimistic about the war moral integrity of these Arab madmen. He thought it would be better to take action quickly and beat this silver-gray giant bird that was soaring all the way.

Now, since the electromagnetic silence is maintained and the Tu-22 in front has not been discovered yet, Long Yun intends to quietly follow and carry out a fatal blow; he noticed that the bomber did not turn on the after-power and entered a supersonic flight state, so his current speed is not fast at all. He can gradually catch up without speeding up. So he did not turn on the rear burner. He just kept the meter speed at 800,000 meters and slowly approached the target.

However, the so-called "slow" is in Iraq, which is not vast. Perhaps the tu-22 will soon fly over the target, and Long Yun has no intention of following it for a walk. So he urged the fighter to come to the tail of the ignorant bomber. Seeing that the fire control distance measurement result was 3.8 kilometers, his fingers reached to the button next to the display screen, but suddenly he remembered a problem.

He was also thinking about sneak attacking his opponent. Now his su-27skm does not have infrared missiles at all, so why are he doing sneak attacks?

Thinking of this, he tilted his head to look at the left rear side of the landline. The r-73e missile was still hung on the wingtip missile launch rail. This is the only infrared guided weapon that Red No. 15 now carries; of course, in addition, it also has two r-77s hanging on the lower hanger of the intake duct. However, whether this missile is fire-controlled or directly intercepts the target with the self-conducting head on the missile, it will allow enemy aircraft to detect signals in the x-band or w-band. The so-called sneak attack has become an empty talk.

Now, since you have chased the enemy's tail, you are facing a bomber with very poor mobility. So what if the enemy finds out? Just turn on the radar and launch a missile?

However, Long Yun didn't want to do this. He didn't treat the silver-gray bomber as a cooked duck.

As a long-range bomber that was put into production half a century ago and is now outdated, the battlefield survivability of the tu-22 is naturally worrying. However, it has sufficient space inside the aircraft to install various missile countersystems, which can be installed more conveniently, whether it is high-power interference equipment or laser irradiation systems.

Especially now, such a single bomber is flying around in the sky. If it is said that this is because the enemy's navigation system fails, Long Yun feels unlikely: it is a sunny day today, and even if he gets lost, he will not be able to fly north all the way backlight.

So... the enemy is fearless, or what kind of trap is this?

On the first day, he took off to face Iraqi Liberal fighters and fought a short encounter with the pilots of the Fiaf. Long Yun seemed to think that "trap" was a bit out of touch with the Liberal Air Force; but when he was considering how to act, whether to use the R-77 or approach to use the air cannon, the conscious spy suddenly issued a cold warning. He suddenly turned his head and saw the enemy planes in the sky, with the incoming missiles with flame light.

I was also considering how to attack the enemy plane, but I didn't expect that I would be targeted by the enemy first!

As soon as he turned around, he saw the missile chasing him. The flashing black dots in his sight were filled with the cold air of death. Long Yun, who had been through many battles, couldn't help but stand on his sweat, and he was shocked and sweated in an instant.

Facing the flying death gun, how exciting and terrifying this experience is, people who have not experienced it personally may not be able to understand it; even a well-trained pilot may forget everything in this situation because of dazedness. However, unlike the reaction of ordinary pilots, they have almost passed by the edge of crisis many times. At this time, Long Yun's brain was still stagnant, and his subconscious had already taken action in front of thinking.

After reaching out, he pulled the throttle valve, supported the speed reduction plate on the back of the machine, raised the elevation angle and pressed a set of interference bomb release buttons. More than ten dazzling infrared interference bombs shot out and bloomed brilliantly. The huge Red No. 15 took advantage of the momentum to slow down and fell down, and he avoided the attack of the incoming missiles in a very thrilling manner.

Long Yun in the crisis almost used an extremely dangerous "tail rush" maneuver without thinking, causing the two R-73 missiles that were dragging Baiyan to get lost!

When the enemy aircraft is chasing at the tail, it suddenly slows down. This maneuver avoidance method is extremely dangerous. If the opponent's reaction delay cannot be used to put the enemy aircraft into its first half of the ball at once, it will become a good target in the sight of the enemy aircraft. Many amateur military enthusiasts have also denied the tactical value of stall maneuver actions such as "cobra" and "tail rush". However, this is just a superficial misunderstanding.

In air combat, maintaining energy is crucial, and this theory is of course correct; however, there is no absolute statement in everything. The situation of air confrontation is changing rapidly. What actions should be taken to be the most beneficial? It is of little significance to rely on paper deduction alone, and everything must be considered in actual combat.

For example, it was in front of me that the sneak attacker was above him almost instantly. The height difference between the enemy and us was quite large. Seeing that the enemy plane chasing was less than one thousand meters away from him, Long Yun dared to suddenly slow down and avoid it. In this case, the enemy plane had no time to lock and fire fighting missiles. Even if it was barely launched, it would be impossible to attack due to the available g value limit in the initial stage of missile launch.

The missile is powerless, and as for changing to air cannons, you can guess it with a naked eye that if the enemy plane uses the aiming line to face the su-27skm in front of him, it needs to pull a high overload reverse somersault. The centripetal overload caused by this action has exceeded the upper limit of 3 to 4g that ordinary pilots can withstand; while enduring red vision and overload, they also aim and shoot. Even Long Yun, who is physically superior, dare not say that he must have such ability. If the pilots of fiaf can fly out, they will be aliens from the zenith star.

The complete rotation of Xinmin's electric rotation considered the situation of our enemy and us. After flying the fighter into the tail rush, it changed it. In less than ten seconds, the fighter fell from a height of 3,000 meters to a few hundred meters. Long Yun, who was disgusted by the overload, had no time to take a few more breaths. He immediately pushed the throttle forward, turned on the increase in force, and raced against time to recover the fighter to speed up.

The tail rush just now was considered to be bold and careful, but this trick could not be played forever. If he didn't speed up quickly, he would become a target soon.

After thrilling from the enemy plane's sneak attack, he accelerated and circled up and continued to circling and rising. At this time, Long Yun could still see the gray tu-22 in his sight. The sharp and slender fuselage with a layer of sunlight was clearly visible in the sky on the west side; however, he noticed that the enemy plane's speed was obviously much faster, and the tail of the aircraft was dragging the white afterburner tail flames, Long Yun immediately gave up the idea of ​​chasing the bomber and focused on searching for the Liberal fighter jet that had just attacked him.

The flesh that was almost at the mouth was, but now he could only watch his opponent slip away. Long Yun didn't feel a pity at all. He knew that the advantage of bombers over fighters was that they had built-in bullet cabins and no external drag. It was not difficult to fly supersonic speeds in medium-altitude airspace - for example, the Tu-22 in the sky now could quickly fly out of Mach 1.2 and 3 at an altitude of 2,000 meters. This is difficult for ordinary fighters to chase, unless you also learn from bombers to drive up and drive, but competing with bombers with who has more internal oil and who has long endurance, which is of course an extremely stupid behavior.

Not to mention, there are more than one Fiaf fighter in the sky now, so how can he have time to persist in aerial marathon with Tu-22?

Seeing the bombers in the sky accelerated their escape, they also made up their minds to counterattack the Liberal fighter jets that attacked him. Long Yun carefully searched the vast sky around him, and soon he discovered two yellow and green camouflage traces in the sky.

Looking back on the sneak attack behind the scenes just now, there was no sign of signs, and the timing of the missile was launched was quite tricky. Long Yun realized that the opponent this time was a bit unusual. He had to concentrate on dealing with the two fiaf fighters in the sky, otherwise it would be possible to capsize in the gutter of this Middle East.

As the landline continued to accelerate, it gradually restored its previous flight altitude. The two camouflage fighters that had just dived but failed to succeed also turned around and rushed back.
