C2978 Mercenary Pilot
In a situation like this, the Sparrow Missile would only have a relatively high chance of success if it was about 30 kilometers away.
Now, just as they were preparing to launch the sparrow, they discovered something different.
"The other party is climbing." The radar screen of the alarm machine also noticed something different. Bruce's voice was anxious. "The climbing rate is over 200 meters per second. It can't be J-14. This kind of thing... A light fighter aircraft doesn't have such a powerful engine. It's very likely to be MiG 29. "
After saying this, he overturned his conclusion in shock. "It is not MiG 29. It has already climbed up to 20,000 meters and is still climbing!"
20,000 meters and still climbing. It was already the limit of many planes. What exactly was this kind of abnormal plane?
"Migg 25. It must be Migg 25!" Bruce said, "It might be coming towards us."
"Quiet." Four hundred kilometers away from us," Ault shouted. What are you afraid of?"
Even the MG25 was very arrogant. The missiles they used had a range of less than 40 kilometers. Now, facing the enemy aircraft 400 kilometers away, they had plenty of room to choose. They either ran away or continued to monitor.
If they ran away just because of a bright spot 400 kilometers away, wouldn't that be too shameful for Y Country Air Force?
Therefore, there was no need for them to run away immediately. They had to wait and see the situation first.
After the opponent had climbed more than 20,000 meters, he was still climbing. 21,000, 22,000, 25,000, 27,28,000, looking at this height... The F-15 fighter jet in front of them, ready to intercept, was already somewhat helpless.
They couldn't fly that high, and their missiles couldn't fly that high either. Generally speaking, if they flew more than 20,000 meters, the Sparrow Missile would be helpless. Because if the Sparrow Missile wanted to climb up by a few thousand meters, the kinetic energy would have long been exhausted.
"We can't stop them." The captain said helplessly. They could only raise their heads. They looked at the target in the sky. At this time, the target could be seen from their eyes. In front of them, a bright spot was faintly visible in their field of vision. It was the MiG 25 fighter aircraft that had climbed up to 28,000.
"Hmph, come down and fight if you have the guts." A helpless shout came from the radio.
This kind of thing. High altitude high-speed fighter aircraft was very strange. When it flew to 28,000, even when it is still flying at Mach 2.8 speed, no missiles can do anything to it. All the shooting records of MG25 were created at subsonic speed and low altitude. There were no signs of MG25 being shot down at high speed.
Back then, don't even think about Co defecting. All the data of Migg 25 had been leaked. Therefore, Bear Country no longer kept it a secret and exported this type of fighter aircraft in large quantities. This could be considered to have brought a lot of trouble to the Y Country. For example, it was like this now.
However, although this type of fighter jet had a very high flying target, however... It was not flawless, especially the Electronic System of this plane. It was extremely backward, saying that its radar could burn rabbits to death. The actual search distance was less than 100 kilometers, and the accuracy was even worse. It could be said that it had a good sniper rifle, but it could only be equipped with the most ordinary machine gun bullets.
Although they were looking at MiG 25 and could not do anything about it, they were not worried. At most, this kind of plane was just showing off. When this plane ran out of fuel, when they started to lower their altitude and slowed down to prepare to land, they could still rush up and beat it up.
"The target is starting to accelerate."
The warning aircraft saw it more clearly. After all, the target was now above the F-15 drone cluster. Even if the Airborne Radar of the F-15 was at the highest point of the Ten Thousand Origins Festival, they would not be able to see it. At this moment, only the warning aircraft was still clear.
During this period of time, the other party had been flying at an accelerated speed. Just now, they were climbing. Now, after climbing up to 28,000, they began to sprint again. In their eyes, this tactic was useless.
"I guess he has already consumed 10 tons of fuel. What a waste, even if it's a country of oil, it shouldn't be so extravagant. If the higher-ups give the order to bomb their oil refineries... Let's see if they can still be so arrogant." Ault said.
MiG 25 had 19 tons of fuel, even exceeding the maximum takeoff weight of many planes. For example, F-16. Even if it was filled with bombs, it would only be more than 10 tons. This kind of plane's fuel capacity was already heaven defying.
However, to carry out this kind of flight, it was like drinking oil. The fuel would be consumed at an astonishing speed, so the fuel would be used up very quickly.
Now, the enemy was 300 kilometers away from them.
"I guess it will burn all its fuel when it is 200 kilometers away from us." Alright, Ault said.
As the commander of the warning aircraft, or Radar Officer, who was an ordinary warning aircraft, he needed to know the performance of all kinds of aircraft like the back of his hand. Now that Ault said so, Bruce felt relieved. Yes, that was right.
If the enemy was two hundred kilometers away from them, they might still have a chance. However, the enemy had already started their assault four hundred kilometers away from them, which was about two hundred kilometers away from them. There was no oil for sure. It could run one or two hundred kilometers at Mach 2.8. That was already heaven-defying.
Then, what about the remaining distance? Could the enemy's missiles be able to fly 200 kilometers?
MiG 25 missiles can only fly for 40 kilometers or so. Even if it's MiG 31, it's only 100 kilometers of R33 missiles, so there's no need to worry.
Wait!2
"The one flying over, isn't it MiG 31?" Right at this moment, Bruce raised his question.
MiG 31 was improved on the foundation of MiG 25. This model of aircraft had already started to use titanium alloy in large quantities. At the same time, in terms of weapons, for the first time in history, it used the PC radar. At the same time, it also had missiles with a range of over 100 kilometers, which could be considered a heaven-defying existence.
Furthermore, he had also changed into a Turbofan Engine, which greatly increased his flight speed.
MiG 31?
When he heard Bruce's question, Ault's heart was also beating the drums of retreat. "How is that possible? MiG31 was a piece of equipment from the Defense Air Force in Bear Country. It was impossible to sell it to outsiders. Even if it is sold, there are only planes and no pilots. Furthermore, it also needs a specialized Radar Officer. It's not something that those bumpkins in Coconut Jujube Country can operate."
MiG 31 used the Phase Controlling Formation radar, and at the same time, it turned into a double seat. The back seat was specially designed for Radar Officer, who operated a complex radar.MiG 31 used the Phase Controlling Radar, and at the same time, it turned into a double seat. It could be said that ordinary people could not play around. At least, he had to be specially trained for one or two years before he could be used in actual combat. Coconut Jujube Country, was that possible?
There might be a flight crew of MiG 25 in Coconut Jujube Country. It was also possible to fly to MiG 31. However, it was absolutely impossible to say that there was also a specialized Radar Officer. It was even more nonsense to say that there was also a specialized ground crew.
"Then, what if we hire a mercenary flight crew?" Bruce's words made Ault's heart turn completely cold.
"Attention, retreat." Ault ordered.
