Chapter 137 Hit it! Two chapters)
An umbrella flower bloomed in the air. Belosvich was very frustrated. Just now, he pulled the ejection handle, and the gun broke the cover of the canopy. The rocket on the seat ignited fire, opened the canopy cover and flew out until the seat fell off and the parachute opened. A series of actions left him flawless to react, until he watched his plane crash and turned into a fireball, and he became the first pilot to jump in the battle with the Pakistan Air Force.
The battle in the air continued. Except for Belosvich and his wingman climbed up, the other two MiG-23s were hovering horizontally, and two fighter jets bit Bashar's J-6 and wanted to shoot him down.
Bashar is not afraid at all. The main tactic of J-6 is fighting. Unless it is a competition of extreme speed, J-6 is just breaking through the speed of sound and does not have the performance of twice the speed of sound. However, compared with the fight at medium and low altitude, J-6 is not at a disadvantage.
A MiG-23 went around the tail of the J-6 and immediately guided its R-60 missile. As long as it kept stable and kept up for two or three seconds, it could launch the R-60 missile.
When he found himself being tracked, Bashar agilely pushed the operating rod to the right and slammed the rudder. J-6 turned agilely and left his hot tail with a clear lead.
The MiG-23 pilot followed the push rod and wanted to turn with it. However, the MiG-23 needed a slewing radius of more than 2,000 meters. He could not keep up with the rotation of the J-6, and could only watch the J-6 disappear from his front half of the field of view.
"Danger, pull it up!" The voice of another pilot came from the headphones. The MiG-23 had been bitten by the J-6.
After being bitten, he could only get rid of it by pulling up, because of the horizontal maneuver, he was completely at a disadvantage, but the experience of their squadron's head aircraft just now also showed that they did not have the advantage in vertical maneuver.
When Bashar saw the other party pulling up, he followed without hesitation and followed a curved course.
Behind Bashar, the other MiG-23 followed Bashar at the same time and also began to rotate and rise.
Although there were enemy planes behind him, Bashar was still not afraid. He stared at the MiG-23 on it, and at the same time began to use the moving ring of the sight to trap the opponent.
You can't escape, damn Soviets! Bashar pressed the shooting button after stabilizing for two seconds.
"Bangbangbang." While climbing vertically, Bashar fired. Three 30mm cannons, dragging the tracer, and the shells shot flew straight toward the MiG-23 above.
"045, get rid of it immediately, the enemy plane behind fired missiles!" Hussein was fighting with another MiG-23 while observing the situation on the battlefield with his eyes. When he found that Bashar was shooting, the MiG-23 behind also fired missiles, Hussein immediately reminded.
In such large overload maneuvers, can the Soviets launch missiles? It seems that their missile performance is not as unbearable as mentioned in training.
When Bashar was about to shoot, he had to stabilize the plane. His actions also created opportunities for the MiG-23 behind him.
If Bashar pulls out, then his shell will not be able to shoot down the plane above. At the same time, after leaving, he will soon be pursued by these two MiG-23s. It will be difficult to turn defeat into victory.
So Bashar gritted his teeth and continued to push the nose of the aircraft. He watched the shells land on the other party's aircraft and made holes one by one, and he continued to shoot.
"Boom!" Bashar played for three seconds in a row. The MiG-23 in front turned into a fireball and was blown up by Bashar.
Bashar suddenly pulled the operating rod backward, trying to avoid the fireball in front and avoid the attack of the missile behind. At this moment, an explosion also came from his tail.
The R-60 launched by the MiG-23 behind accurately hit the tail of the J-6. After launching the missile, the MiG-23 behind flew to the side to prevent accidental injury by enemy plane debris.
At this time, the distance between both sides was only a few hundred meters, and the infrared-guided r-60 was not possible to off-target.
Bashar felt the tail trembled suddenly with the explosion. He used all his strength to level the plane. At the same time, he felt that the plane could still be controlled.
The MiG-23 continued to rush up and wanted to launch the second R-60 missile. The pilot was very dissatisfied with this record.
In previous air combat, pilots found that the missiles they equipped were not easy to use. Because they had to visually confirm the type of target and judge whether it was an enemy aircraft or a friend aircraft, medium-range missiles were not used very frequently. For short-range missiles, the process of early missile infrared search systems locking the target was very time-consuming, and the target could be locked at a very small angle. This required the pilot to be able to lock and track the target all the time, and the pilot was also in extreme danger. Therefore, in the late 1960s, the United States and the Soviet Union also envisioned a new small-sized missile specifically for close-range air combat. It did not have a large range, but had a small weight and volume. It launched them to strike a large number of enemy aircraft entering airspace, and was also very flexible. This kind of missile was specifically called a fighting missile.
The r-60 missile is a product of this concept. It belongs to the third generation of air-to-air missiles. It has a hemispherical seeker in front and four rectangular fixed stability wings at the back, which jointly ensure the flight stability of the missile with the trapezoidal tail wing at the rear. The front section of the missile body is also equipped with four triangular wings to control the flight direction of the missile. This special structure gives this missile outstanding maneuverability.
However, in order to maintain a slim body and improve maneuverability, it only has a high-explosive disc warhead weighing 6 kilograms, which is 53% of the previous generation of K-13 warheads and 67% of the Rattlesnake missile warheads. Such a warhead is insufficient. Although this missile has successfully hit the J-6, it has only damaged one of the J-6 engines. Another turbojet VI engine is still running, pushing the J-6 fighter jets and flying swayingly.
"The Pakistan Air Force is flying quickly towards the No. 6 airspace and immediately withdrawing back to the Afghan airspace." The voice of the guide from the Bagram base came from the headphones.
Retreat immediately? Seeing the J-6 struggling to return, MiG-23's pilot Konstantinvich skillfully turned the fire control to another R-60 missile, ready to attack again.
"045, hold on!" Hussein shouted in the radio. He let go of a MiG-23 he was fighting with. The other party accelerated back to the Afghan airspace. He turned the nose and flew towards this side.
Bashar's J-6 has been injured, and it is very difficult to maintain a flying posture. He will definitely not be able to withstand the next attack. Hussein wants to save his wingman.
The opponent was flying steadily, preparing to launch missiles under the wings, and without notice of Hussein at all, this gave Hussein a chance. While flying over quickly, he firmly held the movement ring of the sight and pressed the firing button.
There was no vibration from the fuselage, and only the hissing of the AC motor was heard, Hussein's heart suddenly became tight.
I was still too anxious just now and all the shells were fired!
The J-6 is equipped with three 30mm air cannons, which are extremely powerful. As long as the enemy plane gets hit, they will be injured. However, the disadvantages of this air cannon are also very obvious, and there are too few ammunitions available.
Each gate has seventy rounds, three gates have a total of two hundred and ten shells. If you keep firing, you can shoot all the shells in five seconds. Just now, Hussein pressed the firing button and has already shot all the shells.
what to do?
At this moment, Konstantinvich poked his head out of the narrow cockpit and saw the J-6 flying from the side. He was shocked. The opponent occupied the best attack position, but why didn't he launch an attack? He was about to pull the operating lever to get rid of it, but he stopped it.
If the opponent could attack, he would have attacked long ago. Could it be that there would be no shells? Seeing that it would be possible to launch missiles under the wings in just one second, Constantine gritted her teeth and persevered in this second to beat the opponent down!
What to do? Two rattlesnake missiles have been launched, and the shells have been exhausted. He has no weapons and no time! Seeing that the other party was about to launch the missile, Hussein suddenly opened up the afterburner, pushed the operating rod, aimed the nose of the aircraft at the other party's fuselage, and hit it!
A distance of several hundred meters is in a flash! In order to save his comrades, he would rather sacrifice himself!
Konstantinvich pressed the launch button, and the r-60 seeker had successfully locked the injured fighter plane, and the opponent would never be able to get rid of it.
At this moment, he suddenly found one side of his side, and the other J-6 was rushing towards him quickly!
Damn, are Pakistanis crazy?
Konstantinvich had no other choice, so he immediately pressed the operating lever down to avoid the impact.
The r-60 missile under the wing had already successfully locked the J-6 in front, and blue smoke came out of the tail and was about to leave the pylon. At this moment, it suddenly felt its head lower and its body lower. It wanted to quickly keep up with the target it had just locked, but its seeker could not rotate at a high angle at all, so the target escaped from its sight.
The rocket engine at the tail continued to ignite, pushing the missile away from the pylon, but it had lost its target.
Constantine's MiG-23 was diving down rapidly. He skillfully operated the fighter plane and drilled into the gap in the mountainous area in front.
Seeing the fuel gauge begin to get into trouble, Hussein gave up his plan to pursue. The J-6's range is very short and it's time to return.
Four Phantom 3 fighter jets appeared in Hussein's vision and formed a prismatic formation. They quickly disappeared from Hussein's eyes, drilled into the mountains, and looked for the plane of the Soviets who had escaped secretly.
