Chapter 159 Multi-target attack
After receiving this news, the Peshawar Air Force Base suddenly became quiet.
Five invading enemy aircraft rushed from low altitude and high speed, with a distance of 150 kilometers! They were about to cross the border!
"Order, the Eagle immediately fires the Immortal Missiles and kills these enemy planes!" Arslan said loudly: "Hunter, 068, return immediately!"
Continuing to track those target aircraft is worthless. Now we need to mobilize another tomcat immediately to fully deal with the targets that are flying in.
"I understand." An echo came from the radio.
The Tomcat fighter continued to climb high, and with its excellent climb rate, it rose to an altitude of 16,000 meters. This is the most suitable height for launching the Immortal Missile.
Jackson in the rear cabin was most nervous at this time. The awg-9 had multi-target attack capability and could attack up to six targets at the same time. This was limited by the fact that the Tomcat fighter could only carry six Immortal missiles. Under the extreme case, it could track twenty-four targets at the same time. However, the theoretical situation will definitely be greatly reduced in actual combat.
"Five Immortal Missiles are ready to be launched." Even so, Jackson still adopted the most extreme tactics. Since they are five targets, let's prepare five Immortals for them!
The computer of fire-controlled radar has begun to quickly calculate. The advantage now is that the other party is flying together, which makes the computer's calculations very simple. The preparations before launch are completed within a few seconds.
"Shoot, three seconds apart." Jackson pressed the button.
"Swish." An immortal bird dragged his tongue and left the tomcat's belly rack. Then, the second and third... In less than two seconds, all five immortal bird missiles were fired out. At this time, the distance from the target had been shortened to 100 kilometers.
Rick operated the fighter plane and flew smoothly. At the distance of the first eighty kilometers, the Immortal bird relied on inertia and passive radar mode, and the carrier aircraft needed to continue to illuminate the radar.
Five Immortal Missiles quickly climbed to an altitude of 24,000 meters and began to enter the cruise phase.
These missiles were accurately captured by the Tu-126 early warning aircraft, at an altitude of 24,000 and a speed of Mach 5, and these targets were very obvious.
When they found that three more fighter jets had taken off at the Peshawar Air Base, Khosnetsov was not surprised. In short, the two Tomcat fighters had been transferred and flew to the eastern border. When they reacted, the bombing here was completed. These three fighters must be newly transferred F-16 fighters, which would not pose a threat to their side unless they were close to ten kilometers.
Who knew that one of the fighter jets suddenly fired five missiles! All of these missiles flew to high altitude, and they were definitely Immortal missiles!
Damn it! I fell into a trap! In an instant, Hosnetsov knew that the two fighters in front were not Tomcat fighters at all, or that only one was.
Yes, there must be only one aircraft, otherwise the other party would not use this method and use one fighter to attack five targets at the same time. This is simply a joke!
"Release electromagnetic interference immediately, order the attack aircraft group to disperse!" said Hosnetsov. He had already flown into the border of Pakistan. The bombing could be completed in just five minutes, and Hosnetsov would not give up easily.
The American Tomcat fighter jet, the so-called multi-target attack ability, would never believe it.
After receiving the order, the five fighter planes flying at low altitudes immediately dispersed.
Two of the MiG-25s opened up their afterburners, quickly lifted from below, and flew in both north and south at the same time. They would fly to their maximum speed in high altitude.
At the same time, they activated their own radar, and the R-40 missiles they mounted could also kill Pakistani fighter jets!
The remaining two MiG-25s continued to fly at low altitude and towards the north and south directions. They also turned on the afterburner and conducted low-altitude supersonic flights, without any concern about the damage caused to the sound boom to the ground.
The Tu-22m2 bomber was still flying in its original direction. As soon as it entered Pakistani airspace, it had already entered the bombing route. With the four fighter jets to cover it, it was not worried about its safety. It turned on the afterburner, and the huge bomber also flew supersonic at low altitude.
Following next to Tu-126, a Tu-16 electronic jammer began to emit messy electromagnetic wave signals to the surrounding area, causing electromagnetic interference in all frequency bands. In order to improve the effect of interference, the electronic jammer began to fly to the Afghan border area at the same time.
The five targets have all been dispersed! On the 25.4 cm diameter cathode ray tube tactical information display, watching the five targets start to maneuver, Jackson suddenly felt nervous.
Damn it! They will find the way while tracking and scanning! These five targets are flying in different directions, which immediately put the radar's electronic computer in a state of full power calculation.
At the same time, Jackson only adjusted a few knobs to minimize the impact of electromagnetic interference.
Persist! As long as you persist for another minute, the missile enters the active guidance stage and you can beat the other party down! At the same time, you will become the first person to conduct multi-target attacks in actual combat! One aircraft is 200,000 US dollars, five aircraft are 1 million US dollars! When you think of the company's rewards, Jackson looked excited.
Hold on!
At this moment, the 12.7-centimeter detailed digital display on the right flickered, and Jackson suddenly felt nervous.
Radar failure and box No. 6 has problems and must be isolated!
In order to improve the effectiveness of the awg-9 radar, it uses an in-flight test device to isolate any of the 31 boxes that make up the system, identify the location of the failure, and report it to the pilot.
The average fault-free interval of this kind of radar is only more than thirty hours. Now, just in time for the most intense battle, the radar has malfunctioned.
Reassigning guidance methods! Jackson continued to operate nervously. He activated the infrared search tracking device to track the two enemy aircraft in the sky. In the sky, the ratio of target to background radiation is large, which is easy to search. At the same time, he turned the radar to a low altitude and specifically tracked the three low-altitude penetration fighter aircraft.
The Immortal Missiles continued to fly, and as the electronic jammer gradually flew closer, they were subject to more and more interference.
One of the Immortal Missiles finally couldn't stand the strong interference source. According to the missile's program settings, when it is unable to continue tracking the target due to electromagnetic interference, it will turn around and specifically attack the interference source!
