Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 145 Tail Spin
Song Ning ignored the approaching enemy planes for the time being, the active radar on the SD10 missile had already been turned on, but after many target shooting drills, Song Ning knew very well that the so-called forget after launch was only for those fighter pilots who could tolerate a low hit rate. Words are useful. The active radar of air-to-air missiles can easily be deceived by enemy interference or maneuvering. The best way is to guide it to a closer distance from the target.If you start maneuvering now, it will undoubtedly increase the chances of the enemy escaping.He has already seen another aggressive Brilliance coming towards him from the electronic tactical threat display (MPCD). Maybe within 10 seconds, he will intercept him, but if he can't calm down and kill one first, the pursued enemy will Opportunities may immediately turn back to participate in the counterattack, and the situation will be reversed in an instant. It is not uncommon to turn over due to panic in the rapidly changing sky.

Two SD2s closely followed the poor Brilliant fighter. After a long acceleration, its speed still stayed at subsonic speed. The missile that lost the target corrected the final deviation. Since Guanghui did not carry an effective electronic jamming pod, and could not interfere with the data transmission of the dedicated data link between the fighter plane and the missile, now he has only one way left, which is to rely on a few tough large Use the overload action to try to get rid of the missile. After all, the medium-range bomb is not as difficult to deal with as the combat bomb.

The pilot of this plane, Barney, only completed a 6G hovering momentarily during training. Although theoretically, this plane can do a 9G hovering, and the flight control also allows such an operation, but in the exercise, any hovering over 6G or other Maneuvering is prohibited.Now he must defy the rules of flying.

The two rows of light-emitting diodes at the core of the radar warning display kept flashing with piercing screams. Lieutenant Barney kept looking back, but he never saw the missile approaching.He knew he had to wait until Captain Jafar's counterattack had a result.

Jaafar had warned him on the radio ten seconds earlier that the enemy planes were far away.That is to say, the energy of the missile launched by this aircraft is insufficient, and it is very difficult for the missile with insufficient energy to hit the fleeing aircraft.The previous interference and turning actions did not work, because the enemy plane's fire control radar kept staring at Guanghui so that it could not get rid of it.But the captain's counterattack can definitely force the plane to turn, and that is the best time to get rid of the missile.

When Lieutenant Barney turned his head for the last time, two dazzling light spots appeared in the clouds at the same time. He knew that he had only a few seconds left, but when he turned his head forward, the flashing in the center of the alarm stopped. It’s just that the audio in the earphones is still going on; this European system is so careful, it can distinguish the beams of different characteristics emitted by the airborne radar and the active radar of the missile, and remind you a few seconds before the missile is about to hit the aircraft, Which radar stopped working.Obviously, the captain's counterattack worked, and the enemy's nose had turned away.Of course, the active radar of the missile itself will still work, but whether it can hit depends on whether the pilot's final disposal is effective enough.

After Barney launched the chaff, he started to slow down and make a strong turn. The chaff plus the sharp turn can hardly deceive the airborne phased array radar, but it is often very effective against the missile radar, and the shape design of this aircraft is Fully consider the demand for instant hovering, which increases the possibility of the aircraft escaping the missile's field of vision in an instant.

Sure enough, the missile was deceived by the chaff, and the signal-to-interference ratio received by the radar suddenly increased. It couldn't see the Brilliant fighter that was turning secretly. One of them lost energy and fell to the ground under the disordered flight control command, while the other flew directly. Out of the battlefield.

But Barney's plane went into a rapid circling like a ghost and couldn't recover. No matter whether he reversed the control stick subconsciously or followed the training, the reverse push stick didn't work. Neither manpower nor flight control could change the plane's direction The situation of stopping horizontal rotation and falling.Lieutenant Barney was only 1500 meters high at this time, and he didn't have much time left.Even in the state of violent spin, he still considered very clearly what would be the result of parachuting rashly behind the enemy's line, so he still wanted to try again.

"I'm about to crash," he yelled.

"It's too bad." Jaafar said on the radio, he really couldn't think of any way to save his wingman.It was also the last time Barney heard the lead plane.

Barney was ejected from the cockpit when the number on the altimeter dropped rapidly to 200. Before the parachute opened, the plane hit the ground head-on. The pilot in mid-air could feel the huge airflow coming from the ground. The scorching air pushed the parachute away from where he would have otherwise landed on the blazing flames.

Jaafar was still chasing Song Ning's J-10 fighter jet. He no longer cared about the fuel volume on the return trip and the fate of the wingman pilot. However, apart from attacking calmly, the Chinese fighter jet also surprised him with its acceleration performance when it left. The distance and speed between the two fighter jets measured by the radar quickly increased, and the plane actually surpassed the speed of sound after making a turn.

Jaafar blindly fired two medium-range bombs at the moment when the radar had just established tracking, and these missiles were thrown away by the J-10 far away.The pilot in the cockpit of the J-10 is obviously familiar with the low-to-medium altitude flight capability of this missile derived from Israeli technology.He didn't use any fancy tricks. He just used his acceleration ability to easily get rid of the missile that was obviously insufficient in energy outside the no-escape zone. Obviously, when the pilot was still attacking Barney's plane, he was attacking Jafar's counterattack node. , the weapons that might be fired, and the timing of his own turn and escape were all calculated one by one.

Jaafar felt a little dizzy, he couldn't believe that the rookie pilots flying out of the Quetta training base would grow so fast.Judging from the simple moves of this J-10 from attack to escape, it should be an old guy.Although it was not the extremely clever on-the-spot combat that the No. 101 "Thunder" that Goya learned in the snow mountain last time could do, but such methodical movements are obviously the result of long-term drills.Jaafar's mind began to cool off from the anger, and he realized that it would be foolish to continue chasing a plane that was obviously faster than him in such an area that was out of radar support.

Jaafar's turn made another Chinese pilot, Zhao Lin, who was hiding on the side and using the data link to approach the enemy plane, rush into the air. At this time, he was cooperating with the lead plane. Within the range of his attack, he then carried out a sneak attack from the blind spot of the enemy plane's radar, but the enemy suddenly turned back, which made Zhao Lin sigh that his bad luck seemed to be over, and he also complained about sending the regiment The long escape was too fierce and did not lure the enemy very well.

"Move, he ran away. Please continue to pursue."

"Move two, you can pursue a certain distance, but don't force it."

"If you had been slower just now... maybe he would have taken the bait." Zhao Lin said what he wanted to say.

"Hehe, you kid forgot the point of avoiding mid-range bullets, can I let him chase so close?"

Song Ning's words are obviously reasonable. The outline stipulates that. The basis for establishing a defensive advantage is to prevent the enemy from entering the no-escape zone at the rear to launch weapons.Of course, the advantage of conversely attacking is based on entering the enemy's no-escape zone as much as possible and firing. Song Ning himself failed to do this, because the combat area designated by his superiors shackles the combat plan. Song Ning is well versed in discipline and various He follows the regulations and implements them carefully. He is a completely different soldier from Colonel Sami who always acts on his own.

Zhao Lin, who was allowed to chase, still refused to admit defeat and continued to speed up the chase.His altitude was a bit too high, and soon, a repeated pulse signal was captured by the electronic tactical threat display. It was a long-range radar with an antenna that kept rotating. The system judged it as a legal PSM33 radar, and its location was about Lamg The area around the Thar salient, which juts out from the entire Thar Desert and embeds Pakistan's southern territory, is an excellent area for deploying search radars.The Brilliant Fighter in front reacted immediately and began to use afterburner to accelerate.After Zhao Lin turned on the radar, the enemy was 45 kilometers away. He quickly used the radar to track the enemy plane, and wanted to try his luck by launching a missile, but this action was stopped by Song Ning, who had been observing from the data link. Now that Pakistan's roads are cut off and the Pakistani Air Force is short of weapons, Zhao Lin must not be allowed to waste a missile without any chance of winning.Fortunately, Song Ning reminded in time, Zhao Lin turned on the power of the seeker directly, and the irreversible navigation system has not been powered on, otherwise the two expensive medium-range bombs will be scrapped.

However, Zhao Lin's pursuit still yielded some results. He saw the wreckage of the glorious fighter jet burning on the ground, and confirmed Song Ning's second victory.

"Move, I saw that Glory was shot down."

"Oh?" Song Ning suppressed his excitement, and responded lightly.

"You don't seem too excited." Zhao Lin was a little surprised.

"Remember, what we have to do is to arrive at the battlefield according to the instructions of our superiors, and then launch weapons strictly according to the various regulations. This is our responsibility. Don't think too much about those useless things." Song Ning said sincerely.

"However, you are the number one ace of our air force now, right? And the ones you shot down are all third-generation planes, which can completely represent our division. You are the head of the 3th regiment who shot down the MiG-27 a few days ago, right?"

"Nonsense, what is the number one trump card? The teacher is still alive and well, who can surpass his record of 9 planes?" Song Ning replied.Zhao Lin found that the head of the group was full of stereotypes, but he seemed to be quite concerned about the number of shots taken down in his heart. He was able to mention the head teacher's record, which showed that he actually had such thoughts hidden in his heart.
