Chapter 436: Left outside, fire!
On the Tu-4T, the captain reduced the flight speed to the lowest. At this time, the distance was only ten kilometers, and speeding was not a good thing.
"The target appears again, direction XX, distance 9.5 kilometers." The crew and the radar operator of the Electromagnetic Institute reported happily.
"The tracking is stable. The enemy is within the coverage of our radar. The terrain can no longer cover them!" The head of the Electromagnetic Institute carefully observed the radar signal and made a judgment.
Within this distance, unless you are hiding under a cliff, the general hilly terrain can no longer provide any shelter, and the only thing to consider is the ground clutter problem.
At the same time, the alarm sounded on the P-2V, which thought it had temporarily escaped.
"Beep, beep, beep"
"Captain, the enemy has caught up with us again! They're behind us." This time, there was a hint of panic in the radar operator's voice.
Unlike past experiences, this time the opponent quickly caught up again and things seemed a little different.
The alarm device can determine the direction of the radar signal, but it cannot determine the height and distance, otherwise it would not be called an alarm device.
The signals coming from behind made them far more frightened than those coming from the front and sides. Even in the 21st century, being bitten on the tail in an air combat is a nightmare for all pilots.
The captain of the P-2V is not a novice either, but an elite who has been fighting with us for many years.
"Slow down! Reduce to minimum!" His order was very decisive!
This is the experience gained by the P-2V in fighting with our army for a long time, and it can be regarded as the P-2V's specialty. Flying slowly has its advantages. For a fighter jet, this speed can easily lead to it rushing past accidentally, and when it turns around and comes back, it will not be able to find the P-2V.
Of course, this trick can only be used when the terrain is complex at low altitude and the ground clutter is strong. If this is done at medium and high altitudes, it will only serve to sell out Seoul.
South Korea: Not for sale!
But this time, something seemed wrong.
The estimated time has passed, and the radar warning device is still beeping.
The captain and Major Zhou looked nervous and looked at each other.
The people in the electronic warfare team are worthy of being electronic warfare experts. They are extremely skilled and experienced. He can even hear some problems from the warning sound of the radar warning device.
"Captain, the frequency of the warning sound of this radar warning device is related to the frequency of the opponent's signal. Judging from the warning sound, I think the opponent's signal does not even have a clear Doppler effect."
This made the captain frown, and then he relaxed his brows.
"A special low-speed aircraft, coming right for us! Speed up, speed up!"
A low-speed aircraft cannot fly fast and may not even be a fighter. No wonder the opponent did not accelerate or launch an attack after establishing stable tracking. It is even possible that the opponent did not have any weapons.
Speed up and run!
The opponent might just be following him. The real attack should be launched after the summoned fighter jets arrive. He can still run at this time, and he even feels a little relieved.
Those who can keep up with me are unarmed, and those who are armed may not be able to shoot me down. I have done this many times and I have escaped from the guns of enemy fighter planes before.
The P-2V used all four engines to accelerate its speed to over 500 kilometers per hour in an attempt to escape.
On the Tu-4 side, the radar operator discovered the enemy's movement: "The enemy has accelerated, and the distance is 7.5 kilometers."
Our captain laughed and said, "You can't run away!"
The maximum flight speed of Tu-4 is also around 550km/h, so who is afraid of it?
Four engines followed with a huge roar.
At this time, our two fighter jets had already arrived 2 kilometers away.
The head of the Institute of Guidance and Research said with a smile, "It's our turn!"
I have been watching the comrades from the Institute of Electromagnetism busy at work. At this distance, they can finally show their skills.
The captain nodded and reported to the command center: "Bird's nest, bird's nest, the owl has met the conditions for killing mice, requesting to kill the mice!"
The comrades in the command center were all delighted. According to the position of the Tu-4, the operators looked up after working on the map for a while and said, "Report, the enemy aircraft is no longer in the densely populated area!"
The two commanders looked at each other, and one of them picked up the radio and said one word: "Attack! Repeat, attack!"
There is no need to wait for the fighter jets to arrive. The Owl has already created the opportunity, so just seize it. It is a good opportunity to test the Owl's abilities.
"Owl understands!"
After receiving permission to attack, the comrades at the Institute of Guidance and Research were no longer sleepy.
"Missile connected!"
Four green lights lit up on the missile display and control console.
"Missile self-check completed, everything is normal!" "Left outer, right outer, start cooling!"
There were four missiles, and the compressed gas cooling devices of the two outermost missiles on both sides were activated first to begin cooling the guidance heads.
Once this thing is started, it will continue to deflate and cannot be stopped, so it must be started before preparing for an attack. If the attack is abandoned after starting, then the two bombs will be useless in this battle and must be returned for maintenance before they can be used again.
"Open the seeker lock, turn on the airborne radar and connect with the infrared seeker!"
For the comrades in the Institute of Guidance and Research, this series of actions is a piece of cake and can be completed in less than ten seconds.
The bugler at the Institute of Guidance and Research was extremely excited, his adrenaline was surging and dopamine was secreted crazily. He had fired so many test bullets, but none of them were as satisfying as the two in his hand now.
The weapon operator in the crew watched the Institute's gunner's every move intently. These were standard movements performed by the teacher himself, and he had to remember every step firmly in his mind.
Inside the hoods of the left and right outer missiles, the modulation disk in the guidance head began to rotate, and with the control signal of the radar cross-link, it began to search for the infrared signal of the target area.
At this time, inside the P-2V, which was running at full speed and fleeing madly, the radar warning sound never stopped, and the atmosphere made them even more desperate.
"The other party's signal has been stable!"
The captain called out to the tail of the plane: "Tail, tail, have you spotted an enemy? Have you spotted an enemy?"
The lookout at the tail of the plane tried his best but was still powerless. At a distance of about 7 kilometers, it was very difficult to spot an aircraft above and behind him in the dark night sky.
"not found!"
This report made the captain of the P-2V panic. What on earth was following him?
He knew that he didn't have much time left, and although he was confident that he could get rid of the opponent's fighter, he still didn't want to risk his life.
Thinking of the P-2V that was shot down not long ago, he began to wonder if the enemy had some new weapons. Thinking of the two large naval ships that were destroyed by the enemy's new weapons, he became even more panicked.
He took the operating authority of the plane from the co-pilot, operated the plane himself, and began to maneuver. He wanted to carve a way out of the hills himself.
It is better to have something yourself than to have it from your parents. When it comes to life, you have to do it yourself.
At the same time, Major Zhou also ordered all interference methods to be used at full power.
However, no matter how large the maneuvers of this patrol aircraft are, they are actually just that simple, especially when the two sides are 7 kilometers apart. From a distance, the radar will only show that the P-2V is flying around, but it is useless.
The enemy is flying around! This is what the radar operator of the electromagnetic department on the Tu-4 special aircraft reported. We have to forgive our comrade. He is not a combatant and can't think of a more appropriate or professional term.
The P-2V's previous maneuvers were effective because the fighter had to use machine guns to solve the problem. The distance was very close, and a slight movement might allow it to get rid of it. However, at a distance of 7 kilometers, the P-2V's already clumsy movements seemed like a magic trick to the Tu-4T, which could catch up with it by slightly adjusting its course. It had no effect.
At this moment, a red light on the air-to-air missile display and control console lit up, and a "beep" sounded, indicating that the enemy aircraft was locked.
For the cooled lead sulfide seeker on the Thunder-1, the various electronic interferences emitted by the P-2V do not exist at all.
The rough terrain and reflectivity of the ground are a big problem for radar signals, but for infrared seekers, what is this? Nothing.
In the dark night sky, there is no interference source such as sunlight. Even if the infrared signal of the P-2V is cut in half by the modulator, it still looks like a beacon in the eyes of the seeker, dazzling!
In order to escape, all four engines were running at full power. Two of the engines were jet-powered P-2Vs, which were even more conspicuous than the signature characteristics of ordinary aircraft. Wow, it was too dazzling.
It can even be said that the Thunder-1 at this time, even if the seeker is not a cooling head, can still lock the P-2V tightly. What's more, the seeker on the Thunder-1 is a second-generation missile-cooled lead sulfide seeker, which is a whole generation higher than that of the United States and the Russians.
"Locked, requesting launch!" the bugler confirmed again.
The command is now in the hands of the captain, who has already determined that the enemy aircraft is still not in a densely populated area.
"Launch!" The captain's voice was excited, thrilled, firm and powerful!
The gunner of the Institute of Directed Research first pressed the "Left Outer" firing button hard, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Left Outer Fire!"
So cool!
At this time, the infrared missile cannot fire two rounds in a short period of time, because the tail flame of the previous round will interfere with the guidance head of the next round.
Under the left wing of the Tu-4T, a slender Thunder-1 ignited directly on the rack and slid forward. At the same time, it was ejected slightly downward by the rack's ejection mechanism. The missile, with a long tail flame, dived towards the enemy plane in front.
At this time, the lookout at the tail of the P-2V finally saw some movement.
Suddenly, a long flame appeared out of nowhere in the night sky, dragging a red line and flying towards him.
Um, what's the noise?
He quickly shouted to the captain: "Continuous fire was spotted several kilometers away! The enemy has taken action!"
When the captain heard this, his head exploded with a buzz!
Several kilometers away, there were continuous flames!
Missiles! It must be missiles! They have air-to-air missiles!
He didn't even have time to answer anything, as his hands had already started moving. The P-2V soared upwards like an onion in an attempt to break away.
