Chapter 2978: Mercenary pilot

Sparrow missiles generally have a high degree of certainty in such a head-on situation, and they have to be about 30 kilometers long.
Now, just as they were preparing to launch the sparrow, they found something different.
"The other party is climbing." There was something different on the radar screen of the early warning aircraft. Bruce's voice was anxious: "The climb rate exceeds 200 meters per second. It cannot be a J-14. This kind of light fighter, no Such a powerful driving force is likely to be MiG 29."
After saying this, he overturned his conclusion in an exclamation: "It's not the MiG-29, it has climbed to 20,000 meters, and it's still climbing!"
It's 20,000 meters, and it's still climbing. It's already the ceiling of many airplanes. What is this abnormal airplane?
"MiG 25, it must be MiG 25!" Bruce said, "It may be coming towards us."
"Quiet." Ault shouted: "We are still four hundred kilometers away. What are you afraid of."
Even if the MiG-25 is very arrogant, the missiles used have a range of less than 40 kilometers. Now, facing enemy aircraft 400 kilometers away, they have ample room for choice, either run off the road or continue to monitor. .
If they fled just because of a bright spot 400 kilometers away, they would be too embarrassing to the Eagle State Air Force, right?
Therefore, now there is no need for them to run away immediately. They will look at the situation first.
After the opponent climbed more than 20,000 meters, it continued to climb, 21, 22,000, 25,000, 26,000, 28,000. Looking at this altitude, the F-15 fighter that was about to intercept in front had already Some helpless.
They can't fly that high, and their missiles can't fly that high. Generally speaking, if the Sparrow missile exceeds 20,000 meters, the Sparrow missile will be powerless, because if the Sparrow missile has to climb several kilometers, the kinetic energy will be exhausted.
"We can't intercept each other." The lead plane said helplessly. They could only raise their heads and stare at the target in the sky. At this time, the target can already be seen by eyes. Above them, there is a bright spot. , Looming in the field of vision, it was a MiG-25 fighter that had climbed to twenty-eight thousand.
"Huh, come down and fight." A helpless cry came from the radio.
This kind of high-altitude and high-speed fighter is very strange. When it flew to 28,000, and even when it was still flying at Mach 2.8, any missile would have no alternative to it. All of the MiG-25's shooting down record was Created at subsonic speed and low altitude, there was no situation where the MiG 25 was shot down at high speed.
Back then, Belenko defected and all the data of the MiG-25 was leaked. Therefore, Xiong State no longer keeps it confidential. Exporting a large number of this kind of fighter aircraft can also be regarded as causing a lot of trouble to Eagle State. For example, now That's it.
It’s just that, although this aircraft has a high flight index, it is not invulnerable. Especially the electronic system of this aircraft is extremely backward. It is said that its radar can burn rabbits, and the real search distance is less than 100. Kilometers, the accuracy is worse, it can be said that there is a good sniper rifle, but it can only be typical of the most common machine gun shells.
Although they had no choice but to look at the MiG-25 at this time, they were not worried. This kind of aircraft was just showing off at best. When the aircraft ran out of fuel and began to lower its altitude, when it slowed down and prepared to land, they could still rush. Go up and beat it.
"The goal has started to accelerate."
The early warning aircraft can see more clearly. After all, the target is already above the head of the F-15 fleet. Even if the F-15 fighter’s airborne radar is at the highest gimbal height, it can’t be seen. At this time, only the early warning aircraft is still clear. .
During this period of time, the opponent has been opening the afterburner for flight, just climbing, and now it has climbed to 28,000, and then started sprinting again. In their eyes, this tactic is of no use.
"I guess he has consumed 10 tons of fuel. It's a waste. Even the oil-producing countries can't be so extravagant. If they order and bomb their refineries, see if they can be so arrogant. "Alt said.
The MiG-25 has a fuel capacity of 19 tons, which even exceeds the maximum take-off weight of many aircraft, such as the F-16, which is full of bombs, but only a dozen tons. The fuel capacity of this aircraft is enough to guard the sky.
It’s just that, in this kind of flight, it’s like drinking oil, the fuel will be consumed at an alarming rate, so the fuel will be used up quickly.
Now, the distance between the opponent and one's own side is three hundred kilometers.
"I guess it will burn up its fuel when it reaches a distance of 200 kilometers in front of us," Alter said.
As the commander of the early warning aircraft, or as the radar officer of the ordinary early warning aircraft, you need to know the performance of various aircraft. Now that Oort says that, Bruce is relieved, yes, that's it.
If the opponent hurried over in the airspace 200 kilometers away from his side, there may be a chance, but the opponent started hurricaneously before 400 kilometers. Then, at a distance of about 200 kilometers from here, there will be no fuel. It can fly at Mach 2.8 for one or two hundred kilometers, which is already against the sky.
So, what is the remaining distance? Could it be that the other side's missile can fly 200 kilometers?
The MiG-25 missile can only fly about 40 kilometers. Even the MiG 31 is only a 100-kilometer R33 missile. Don't worry.
and many more!
"Isn't it the MiG 31 that flew over?" At this moment, Bruce asked.
The MiG 31 is improved on the basis of the MiG 25. This aircraft has begun to use a large number of titanium alloys. At the same time, in terms of weapons, phased array radar is used for the first time, and it has a range of more than 100 The kilometers of missiles can be regarded as a kind of existence against the sky.
Moreover, a turbofan engine was also installed, which greatly improved the range.
MiG 31?
Hearing Bruce’s question, Oort’s heart also retreated:
How is that possible? The MiG 31 is equipment of the Xiong Country’s National Air Defense Air Force. It is impossible to sell to the outside world. Even if it is sold, there will only be planes and no pilots. It doesn't work, especially, it also needs a dedicated radar officer, who can not be operated by the buns of the Date Palm Country."
The MiG 31 uses a phased array radar, and at the same time it becomes a two-seater. The rear seat is equipped with a dedicated radar officer, and the operation is complicated. It can be said that most people can't play it, and it needs to be specially trained for a year or two. Can it be used in actual combat, the country of date palms, is it possible?
There may be MiG-25 pilots in the date palm country, and it is also possible to fly MiG31. However, it is absolutely impossible to say that there are special radar officers, and special ground handling is even more nonsense.
"So, what if it's a mercenary pilot?" Bruce's words made Oort's heart completely cold.
"Attention, retreat back." Ort gave the order.
