Chapter 113 Sneak Attack Plan
"It might be some kind of general aviation small plane." Lunet responded casually.

Of course, the lieutenant colonel knows that this possibility is almost impossible, but as a middle-aged man who has passed his forties, he is not willing to make extra troubles. It is what he wants to complete the tasks of the superior step by step and then return to the voyage. After finishing this deployment Lunet even planned to directly apply for grounding and return to China to concentrate on spending time with his daughter.

On the other hand, although the Mirage 2000D is an aircraft of the Mirage 2000 family, as a model whose main mission is to attack the ground, the performance of the RDM radar equipped with it is quite limited. The downward-looking and downward-shooting ability of the missile is close to 0, and it cannot guide air-to-air missiles at all, so the Magic 2 they mount can only be launched in mode 4, that is, locked on the pylon and launched. This distance will not exceed 5 kilometers in the tail-chasing state. .

The Air Force originally planned to replace the Mirage 2000D with a whole new fire control system during the mid-upgrade upgrade process, but it is still arguing because of budget issues.

"I remember it was mentioned in the mission briefing that there may be enemy attack planes and helicopters in this airspace." Alan's thoughts were completely different from those of the lieutenant colonel. After the initial novelty passed, he sat in the back seat and dropped the bomb. This simple and boring task could no longer arouse Alan's interest too much, but it would be completely different if he could shoot down an enemy plane.

Although as a ballast in the rear seat, it is difficult for him to play any role in air combat, but all the results of the battle will be equally distributed among the two people in the same crew.

For Alan, whose career has just started, this is indeed a great temptation.

"It shouldn't have found us, and the distance is too far, we'd better carry out our mission first." Lunet seemed to remain indifferent.

"But I think we should take the initiative to intercept it, at least fly over to confirm the target. The propeller plane can't pull out such a wake, and the speed is also very fast. It is likely to be the attack plane mentioned in the briefing."

Alan didn't understand the painstaking efforts of the lieutenant colonel in front at all. As a fighter-bomber pilot, the latter had been playing up the threat of the other party in the conversation just now, just to put himself in the position of the bomber and not engage in air combat, but his words completely made Lu Nie There is no way out.

"Uh... I think you're right, let's go and see."

Their conversation on the radio will be recorded. If Lunett continues to remain unmoved at this time, he will be suspected of passively avoiding the war.

You must know that these bombing missions against CAF were directly arranged by the Elysee Palace. The lieutenant colonel thought about his pension, so he agreed to Alan's request, and turned to pursue the target that had gradually flown away.

On the other side, before the control tower could reply, Hassan heard Vais's voice on the radio: "Oasis 01, this is Dagger 01, I'm ready to take off, let me report your location."

Apparently, although Weiss arrived only early this morning, he has already started to perform his duties, otherwise it would be impossible to appear in the cockpit so soon.

"My position, 6°27'16''N, 17°27'47''E, it is to the east of me." Hassan said and turned his head to look again, but found the flight path of the plane A 90° deflection has already occurred. Looking at the direction...it seems to be coming towards him.

"Short Sword 01, I need you to come over as soon as possible, that plane is coming towards me, he should have spotted me."

Hassan's tone became tense in an instant. Although he considered himself the best fighter pilot, it was hard for a smart woman to live without rice. It would not be wise to fly a Su-60 that didn't even have R25 missiles in an air battle with almost any fixed-wing aircraft. , not to mention that the opponent still has a high degree of advantage.

"Short Sword 01 is taking off, please hold on for as long as possible." Weiss had already reached the end of the runway, and while talking, he pushed the throttle valve to the end to prepare for an emergency takeoff.

Hassan dropped the four rocket pods directly under the wings to reduce weight and drag, while entering a shallow dive to increase speed.At present, he can only see the trail cloud of the opponent, indicating that there is still a considerable distance between the two planes, at least it should be outside the locking distance of the fighting bombs, so he is not too worried about the obvious infrared signature.

Another problem with the Su-25K is that the onboard RWS (radar warning) is not very sensitive. In fact, Hassan is not even sure whether this Slovakian modified aircraft has this equipment. Can determine whether the enemy has launched an attack by constantly looking back.

The only good news is that Hassan knows that the current single-engine fighter of the Gaul Air Force is the Mirage 2000, and that is an aircraft with very weak power (in the fighter sequence) and poor low-altitude performance.

So he is not without a chance.

With the help of the dive just now, the speed of the Su-25 quickly reached 800km/h, and Hassan did not see the flare or wake of the missile launch, which may indicate that the opponent did not carry medium-range bombs, which is definitely a good idea. information.

Lieutenant Colonel Lunett has already turned on the air search mode of the RDM radar. Although it can capture the target 12 kilometers away, it is not surprising that it cannot be locked. Moreover, this radar does not support command guidance for the Magic 2 missile at all. .

Since the Phantom 2000D also carried two GBU12 bombs and two heavy auxiliary fuel tanks, the acceleration was quite slow. For a while, the clumsy attack aircraft pulled a little distance by diving, which made Lunet feel a little humiliated .

He took a few seconds to think, and then chose to jettison the two auxiliary fuel tanks that were in the way, and at the same time, he also entered a shallow dive and accelerated to chase the aircraft in front.

Hassan drove the Su-25 under the clouds, and in front of him was a long river and a large city on the north bank of the river, which should be Bossangoa, the capital of Ouham province.

Almost unconsciously, he turned back again, but there was only low-pressure clouds in sight, which worried Hassan even more, because he knew the other party could find him by radar.

"Oasis 01, report your situation. My radar can only detect one plane." The voice of Vais on the radio was like heaven to Hassan. The latter had already driven the plane down in order to avoid the radar search. It reached the height of flying almost close to the Wamu River, even lower than the hills on both sides of the river.

"That plane is behind me, but I'm at a very low altitude, and it shouldn't be easy for him to track me." Hassan's answer was accompanied by rapid breathing. He now needs to concentrate on flying at an ultra-low altitude. Distracted to look back to see the distance of the enemy plane and whether it has launched a missile. Although he is very confident in his technology, such a life-and-death situation is not the same as a drill.

He didn't make any extra moves just now, and he has accumulated a speed of about 900km at this time, which is probably enough for him to do a pull-up and evasion while launching a thermal decoy, but that's it, the total thrust of the Su-25's two engines is actually It is bigger than one of the Mirage 2000, but the design resistance is too high for ground attack, and there will be no chance of accelerating again.

"I'm approaching that plane, and I'll be able to enter the locked distance soon." Weiss has maintained the afterburner state since take-off, and because he is very close to the base, he can completely ignore the problem of fuel consumption. The MiG-29 may have 1 shortcomings, but its power is still abundant, and it has already exceeded the speed of sound at this time.

"Wait, Dagger, I have an idea, you will startle it if you lock it with the radar." Hassan looked at the Mirage 2000 that was aggressively rushing down from the clouds, and suddenly felt that just scaring the opponent away was not enough to relieve his hatred: "I am now Fly west along the Ouam River, just south of Bossangoa, a big city, and you should be able to find me without radar."

"Are you going to let me attack it with infrared bombs?" Vais, who is also a fighter pilot, instantly understood Hassan's careful thinking: "But the IRST's capture distance is closer, and it may take me longer to catch up. "

"I can use the nearby mountains to get around, but you still have to hurry."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Weiss thought for a while, considering that Hassan dared to use the special plane of the Pact Organization as a cover after all (Hassan only thought it was an ordinary airliner at the time, but others thought he did it on purpose). Hard-core and ruthless, such a plan fits the opponent's personality very well, so he agreed.

Besides, the lieutenant colonel himself really liked this style of play that came from the shadows.

The altitude of the Mirage 2000D quickly dropped below 1000 meters. This is not the most suitable altitude for this type of aircraft, but with this dive, its speed is already close to the speed of sound, and the distance between it and the Su-25 is rapidly closing.

About 2 minutes later, Lunett began to power on one of the Magic 2 to cool the seeker, and the missile quickly captured an infrared heat source about 5km away, and a prompt for permission to launch appeared on the HUD at the same time.

He still didn't want to get too close to the target, so chose to launch the missile directly at this distance.

As a pilot of a reconnaissance plane and a fighter-bomber, Lunet's experience in air combat is indeed slightly insufficient. He should have waited a few seconds before launching an attack when the distance was closer.

Hassan saw the flickering flames under the opponent's wing at the first moment. He began to climb slightly and turn around. The Su-25 did not allow him to make too much overload. Fortunately, the opponent was impatient and fired the missile. It's too early.

The better news is that he has already seen a faint black trail in the farther sky turning, which is the coking exhaust smoke produced by the RD33 engine when it is fuel-rich combustion at low altitude. Although it does not look very beautiful, it is true. Greatly improved low-altitude performance.

That means as long as he can dodge the first hit.

The combat bomb that ended quickly in the power phase was brought by the Su-25 to change direction. After about two seconds, Hassan began to fire a large number of infrared decoys while turning in another direction, so that the missiles behind finally lost their target.
