Chapter 1458: The Art of Air Combat on the Tip of a Knife
If you can't quickly interfere or kill the early warning aircraft, you can't completely control the air initiative, and the air combat is bound to enter a relatively fair contest.
The four French Rafale fighter jets, although the airborne radar cannot see the opposing fighter jets, the early warning aircraft are sufficient to provide the Rafale fighter jets with the necessary early warning and coordinated assistance.
Two Black Hawk fighter jets rushed towards them like arrows from Li Xuan, which made Colonel Beckham unable to figure out what the other party was going to do for a while.
When the two Black Hawks entered the range of the Mika missiles, Beckham did not hesitate, and immediately launched the missiles when the distance between the two sides was 80 kilometers.
The Mika missile is an over-the-horizon air-to-air missile developed and produced by France, and it is also the main attack weapon of the Rafale fighter jet.
In terms of performance, it is not inferior to the third-generation air-to-air missiles of Russia and the United States, and its tracking capability is extremely strong.
The four Rafale fighter jets launched a total of four missiles, and there were only two targets. The number of missiles was enough.
The missile was launched, and the Black Hawk fighter immediately sent out an alarm signal of being locked by the missile.
However, neither the Flying Tiger nor the Flying Leopard had any intention of dodging, and they still flew straight towards the Rafale fighter ahead.
The missile signal on the radar is getting stronger and stronger, and the distant missile can faintly see the faint missile tail flame like a meteor in the night sky.
Facing the missile that was approaching, the two Black Hawk fighter jets still did not make any evasive movements. Not only did they still maintain a supersonic flying posture, but they continued to fly towards the missile head-on.
The alarm sound inside the Black Hawk fighter jet became more and more urgent, which also indicated that the missile was getting closer.
At the moment when Flying Tiger and Flying Leopard could clearly see the tail flame of the missile, the two released the jamming bomb at the same time, and at the supersonic state, they forcibly pressed down the nose of the aircraft. At supersonic speed, it seems to lose weight in an instant, and it falls towards the ground quickly.
And when the two Blackhawk fighter jets fell to the ground in a falling posture, the four Mika missiles also directly crashed into the decoy bombs that had just been released in the air, and were directly detonated.
However, neither the flying leopard nor the flying tiger could hear the sound of the explosion at this moment. At supersonic speed, their speed has already exceeded the speed of sound propagation, so it is naturally impossible to hear the movement behind them.
The falling fighter quickly ended its supersonic flight attitude, but the fighter remained in its falling attitude during sea trials.
It looked as if it had been wounded.
At this moment, the pilots of the four Rafale fighter jets not far away all smiled immediately.
Judging from the radar, the two fighter jets of the opponent were injured by the explosion of the Mika missile oncoming, and they are now falling towards the ground.
Although there was a time difference of nearly one second, even Beckum ignored it.
The reason is very simple. The other party was flying at supersonic speed and suddenly fell towards the ground. If it was not because of being injured by a missile, it would be impossible to make such a move.
At present, no matter what kind of fighter jet it is, it is impossible to make any maneuvers at supersonic speeds. The super fast speed is enough to tear all the folded plates of the fighter jet.
Moreover, the huge pressure of maneuvering after entering supersonic speed is not something the human body can bear, enough to make the pilot dizzy in an instant.
Therefore, the four French fighter pilots all thought that their opponents had been easily dealt with.
However, just as they watched the two Black Hawk fighters on the radar getting closer and closer to the ground, the two Black Hawk fighters in the falling state actually changed to a level flight attitude.
At this time, the four French pilots were also instinctively imagining how the two Black Hawk fighter jets were staggering and finally regained their level flight posture. Of course, there were also scars on the two Black Hawk fighter jets.
"It's really strong enough, so it can still maintain the flying attitude."
Regarding this point, Beckham also has to admit that the quality of the aircraft produced by the Iraq-Syria Federation is really good.
However, since the other party can still keep flying, it needs to continue to send the other party a ride and completely eliminate the other party.
The four Rafale fighter jets lowered their noses almost simultaneously, and approached the two Black Hawk fighter jets that were already close to the ground at an altitude of nearly a kilometer.
When the altitude dropped to nearly one kilometer, the four Rafale fighter jets fired missiles again.
The moment the missile locked onto the two Black Hawk fighter jets, the four French pilots all had smiles on their faces.
Facing the second wave of incoming missiles, no matter if it was a flying tiger or a flying leopard, they all raised their lips.
With tactics like this, neither of them knew how many new fighter divisions were pitted in the actual combat simulation.
The responses of the four Rafale fighter jets were all normal responses, and a normal response would inevitably fall into a trap.
Facing the two incoming missiles, the two Black Hawk fighter jets flew forward steadily, almost the same as before. At the moment when the missile was about to hit the fighter jet, the fighter jet immediately made a tactic of laterally rotating the fuselage. But this time no decoy bombs were released.
The fuselage descended rapidly under a near-stall rotation, and the four missiles almost grazed the fighter's fuselage and passed over the heads of the two Black Hawks. However, at this time, the distance between the missiles and the fighter was more than 20 meters.
At this time, even if the missile exploded, it would not be able to endanger the Black Hawk fighter jet.
Successfully ignoring the incoming missiles, Flying Leopard and Flying Tiger pressed the button to launch the missiles in a tacit understanding.
From the very beginning, the missiles have been ready to launch at any time. Although the ballet on the tip of the knife is very exciting, victory must be achieved by killing the opponent.
Two close-range combat bombs were fired at the moment when the two Black Hawk fighter jets changed from hovering to level flight.
The four French Rafale fighter jets that are approaching are less than five kilometers away. Although they cannot see each other in the night sky, they can already vaguely see the signal lights.
The speed of the two close-range combat bombs was extremely fast, and four Rafale fighter jets approached at the same high speed. When the missiles appeared, even Beckham lost his mind for a short time.
Five kilometers is just a blink of an eye for the V-1GD combat missile that has entered at least four times the speed of sound after launch.
Although the four Rafale fighter jets had already begun to evade the incoming missiles at the moment of stupefaction, the suddenness and speed of the missiles' appearance was too unexpected.
After all, in the previous second, the four French fighter pilots approached each other as if they were watching the excitement. Unexpectedly, the opponent was able to launch a counterattack, which was still so sudden and sharp.
The two Rafales on the left and right were hit directly, and neither pilot had time to parachute, and the Rafale fighter was destroyed in an instant.
