Chapter 1459 Canyon Chase
The American soldiers on the Tarawa Heights all cheered when they saw the two fighter jets in the low sky being killed.
Although they couldn't see which side's fighter was killed, in their view, the fighter that was shot down could only be the fighter of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation. At this time, they should cheer for their pilots.
The U.S. battalion commander immediately ordered two squads of soldiers to run towards the falling plane wreckage not far away. There was no falling parachute in the sky, but the wreckage of an advanced fighter jet was still very valuable.
At this moment, Colonel Beckham and the pilot of another Rafale fighter suddenly appeared in cold sweat all over their bodies.
The scene just now was too dangerous. The other party was clearly about to come into contact with the missile, yet he was able to launch the missile. This is really unbelievable.
When they regained their senses, they were also shocked to find that the two fighter jets of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation had not been shot down by their own missiles.
Four more missiles fell through the air. This is something that has never happened before the Mika missile has been used so far.
In previous exercises, the lethality of Mika missiles has not been inferior to the most advanced air-to-air missiles of the US military. Once locked and tracked, the probability of being able to escape has always been kept below 35%. The probability is also higher than 75%.
But now, the two fighter jets of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation on the opposite side have not only successfully evaded eight Mika missiles, but also have the ability to fight back, killing the two Rafales by surprise, which shocked the always proud French flying ace In a cold sweat.
At this moment, Beckham did not dare to underestimate the opponent on the opposite side. The most important thing is that the maneuverability and attack power shown by the opponent at that moment is enough to show that the opponent's fighter jet has always been sound in performance and has a complete fuselage structure. It is impossible to make such an extremely difficult movement of stalling and circling.
It can rely on technology to avoid two missile attacks. For the first time, it can also perform a stall and fall flight at supersonic speed.
Such behavior, in the eyes of Beckham, is definitely a lunatic, and there are no two such terrifying opponents in the history of air combat.
And in front of his eyes, there were actually two such lunatics.
After all, although such a tactical theory is feasible, it has never appeared in actual combat. In the world, only Russian pilots driving Russian fighter jets at air shows made such aerial tactical moves.
But if used in actual combat,
The success rate can be said to be negligible. After all, every moment of air combat is a moment of life and death. It is impossible to be like a simulation, and all the data are standard.
Under normal circumstances, the success rate of stalling, circling, maneuvering and evading missiles in actual combat may not even have a 20% probability.
Although Beckham did not see the evasive action of the opponent's fighter jet, the height change and speed of the opponent, as well as two successful evasion missiles, were enough to determine the opponent's evasive tactical action.
Because of this, Beckham also directly compared the two fighter pilots of the Iraq-Syria Federation opposite to lunatics. Normal people would never do such a thing.
However, this did not make Colonel Beckham give up. The opponent was indeed a master of air combat and very bold, but he still had the confidence to kill him, because in his belief, he was the strongest.
In the dark night, although Beckham couldn't see the opponent's fighter jet, the clear signal on the radar showed that the opponent was flying towards the west at a very fast speed.
The opponent didn't attack, which made Beckum a little disappointed, because he was already prepared for the opponent's second attack, and the opponent's fleeing behavior did not make Beckum relax.
The enemy is a master, and dragging the knife is also a common tactic in air combat. The chasing party may often be replaced by a high-overload tactical action of the opponent in an instant.
Of course, this is based on the considerable disparity in strength between the opponents. Beckham and another Rafale fighter approached without hesitation. One-on-one, they both wanted to close the distance. Fighter, launch missile lore.
Beckham is a master, and he is also a master at flying the Rafale-M fighter jet. Both of them have great confidence.
What's more, the Rafale fighter is also a fighter with a canard layout. In terms of maneuverability, it is also among the best among all fighters in the world.
Gust accelerated to catch up, and soon caught up with the two Black Hawk fighters ahead.
After two contests, at this moment the two sides really saw the figure of the other fighter's fighter in their eyes. The silhouette and signal lights of the fighter in the dark night appeared in the eyes of the fighter pilots of both sides for the first time.
At the moment when the Rafale fighters were trying to lock each other with combat missiles, the two Black Hawk fighters suddenly slanted downward at a high angle, and the altitude was close to the ground within a few breaths.
The two Rafale fighter jets also followed closely, but when the two Rafale fighter jets were condescending and were about to launch missiles, the two Black Hawk fighter jets suddenly disappeared from the active radar of the fighter jets.
This made Beckham startled, but soon, they found two Black Hawk fighters with their eyes. Just now, the two Black Hawk fighters got into the canyon below, and along the gap of the canyon, they were walk through.
With the help of the complex terrain of the canyon depression, the radar signal of the fighter jet is hidden in the complex radar wave signal of the surface, so the missile relying on the radar cannot be locked at all.
Unless the Rafale fighter also enters the canyon and locks on to the fighter in front from the rear, it is impossible to launch an attack from top to bottom.
However, if chasing on the canyon, the Rafale fighter will overtake the opponent at a slow speed. At that time, the Rafale fighter will be bitten by the Black Hawk fighter from behind and occupy the active attack position.
Seeing the two Black Hawk fighter jets entering the canyon, the two Rafale fighters followed closely behind without any hesitation.
The canyon airflow in the dark night is complicated, and pilots can only rely on night vision to fly, which is full of danger.
Under normal circumstances, Rafale fighters should not pursue them, but now that two French Rafales have been shot down, how can the other two return like this.
Canyon flying is an essential skill for fighter pilots of all countries. Who makes the canyon the best terrain to hide fighter radar signals.
However, the moment the two Rafale fighter jets entered the canyon, the two Black Hawk fighter jets in front immediately launched an attack.
