Chapter 739 Variant MiG-25

Although many fighter jets have a maximum of twice the tone, it is just a limit value that has no external plug-ins and is flying out of high altitudes. When the secondary fuel tank, missile, etc. are mounted, the maneuverability will be greatly reduced. For example, these two F15e in the United States are now loading so many things, and they cannot fly even if they have full power.

The only ones who can pass two Mach in normal flight are the Soviet MiG 25 and MiG 31! Among them, MiG 31 is an improved version of MiG 25 and uses a turbofan motor, which greatly reduces fuel consumption. However, due to the poor high-altitude performance of the turbofan motor, the maximum MiG 31 is not as large as that of MiG 25.

And now, the aircraft that took off from the Iranian Air Force Base is undoubtedly the MiG25!

The origin of these MiG25s is a tragic fate. During the Iraq-Iran War, in order to fight against the Iranian Tomcat fighter jets, Iraq introduced a series of advanced weapons from the Soviet Union, including this MiG25 fighter jet that can fly to Mach 3. In the battle with the Iranians, the MiG25 went deep into Iran's 6 many times to carry out bombing missions. The Iranian Tomcat fighter jets were unable to effectively intercept such high-altitude fighter jets. They were introduced as fighter jets, but were later used to bomb the ground, which was considered an alternative move by Iraq.

After the Iraq-Iraq War, these MiG25s were still in service in Iraqi air bases and their maintenance was quite good. As a result, when the Americans came in a fierce battle, some Iraqi air force pilots were afraid of war and actually fled to their old rival Iran!

Saddam was so angry that he wanted to get these fighter jets back from Iran, but there was absolutely no way to get them back. So, these fighter jets became fighter jets of the Iranian Air Force.

Now, facing the cross-border American fighter jets, these two MiG25s specially used for intercepting are useful. After taking off from the airport, they climbed up. At an altitude of 20,000 meters, they flew towards the two F15 fighters crossing the border at a 2.5 Mach.?

"Note that there are two MiG 25s in the direction of three o'clock." The early warning aircraft urgently notified the two F15e in front of us: "Drop the bomb and prepare to enter the air battle. Be careful, don't open fire first!"

The United States is not a mud. It has just occupied Iraq, and the US military is full of complacent feelings and thinks it is the most powerful. Now, the Iranian Air Force is clearly covering the two Scud missile launchers below. Since that's the case, let's have a contest with the Iranian Air Force!

"Received." Captain Lockett replied in the radio: "Let's have a battle with the Iranian Air Force!"

The weapon operator behind him pressed the button, four bombs and three auxiliary fuel tanks fell down swayingly.

The f15e, which threw away the bomb and the auxiliary fuel tank, lightened all over. As the force was opened, the surging power came, and the f15e began to climb up quickly and accumulate enough fighting energy.

This fighter bomber, which was improved by the F15d fighter, has the same air combat capabilities as the F15d. Now, two Sparrow missiles and two Strokesnake missiles are enough to fight against the MiG25.

When the Soviets had just equipped the MiG25 that could fly to Mach 3, the Western camp was panicking. This kind of fighter jet seemed to be an invincible existence, and the West could not find a fighter jet that could match.

Until later, Captain Berenko, who flew from the Far East of the Soviet Union, who was eager for the Western free world, let the West know everything about this "advanced" fighter jet, which turned out to be achieved by stainless steel and large thrust motors! Poor handling performance was simply a flying brick.

Especially the simple fire control system, the radar has a very large power. But most of it is radiated in the form of heat, the target processing capacity is poor, and the supporting O-air-to-air missile has a range of only 30 kilometers.

Such fighter jets do not have any threat to our side! The current F15e fighter uses advanced PG7o radar, which has specially optimized fast targets such as the MiG25. With the Sparrow Missile, it can intercept head-on at a distance of 40 kilometers!

Of course, not firing the first shot first is just a strategic consideration of the United States. What you are playing now is the heartbeat when locking the opponent. If the opponent dares to shoot the missile first, then fight back without hesitation! Pull the opponent into the airspace where the F15 is good at, even if you use the Rattlesnake missile, you can easily kill the MiG25!

With this idea, the two F15e fighter jets flew towards each other quickly, and a sharp cone-shaped shock wave formed by white mist appeared on the nose. With a light clapping sound, the plane had passed.

A huge fighter jet like the MiG25 has a huge radar reflection area, similar to a bomber's PG7o radar at a distance of 150 kilometers, and the two clear target waves appeared.

"Okay, let's get closer to eighty kilometers and then fire missiles!" Captain Lockett said: "Prepare a sparrow."

Once upon a time, during the Vietnam War, the reliability of the Sparrow Missile was as poor as that of an uncontrolled rocket. However, now, with the continuous advancement of electronic technology, the performance of this missile has begun to become increasingly perfect. It once had a hit rate of 90% when shooting targets, and almost 40% in actual combat.

"I understand." said the weapon operator in the rear cabin and began to turn the button in front.

The two-seat layout brings about the dispersion of personnel tasks. The weapon operator in the rear cabin specializes in operating various ground attack weapons and medium-range guided missiles, while the pilots in front are only responsible for flying planes and fighting dogs.

The distance of 150 kilometers is measured in seconds for fighters with a relative Mach 4. At the distance of 80 kilometers, Lockett slightly retracted the accelerator and said, "Prepare to lock the opponent."

When the radar enters the locked state from the scanning state, the short but intense electromagnetic pulses that have been shot in the past will provoke the other party's radar alarm receiver. Hearing this sound during flight is a phenomenon that all pilots are unwilling to face.

Lock the other party and force the other party to return!

"Okay." The radar operator in the rear cabin turned the switch on the radar panel. At this moment, he saw a red light flashing on his operating panel. Then, a unique sound like a cat chirping came from the headphones.

"Ag9 radar signal!" said the radar operator: "Damn, we were locked by the ag9 radar!"

ag9, the airborne radar of this Tomcat fighter, which once made Iraqi Air Force pilots avoid the war and return to the air when they heard the sound of the radar's alarm receiver, is now uploaded from the MiG-25 fighter. What's wrong?

No one answered them. At this time, the two MiG25s on the opposite side had already been locked. The pilot pressed the switch that had just been added on the panel. A thick smoke came out under the wings of the MiG25. A huge missile broke away from the firing frame and flew forward.

From the outside, it seems to be somewhat similar to the Immortal Bird, but the huge four-piece triangular tail is quite different from the Immortal Bird.

This kind of missile is the characteristic of Iran, and it is changed from the ground-to-air Hawk missile!

When the MiG-25 flew to Iran, Iran was quite satisfied with this aircraft that could fly to Mach 3. Now the Soviet Union is in chaos, and it will not be too troublesome to get a considerable number of spare parts. Moreover, Iran has also found some experienced ground crew members. After maintenance, at least five of them are in combat.

The backward fire control system of MiG 25 was also replaced by the Iranians with the ag9 radar system. In the transaction with Pakistan, Iran obtained a large number of ag9 radar systems. In addition to leaving a certain amount of backup for its Tomcat fighter jets, there were also several extra sets installed on the MiG 25.

There is no doubt about the ability of Iranian technicians. In the absence of a second tomcat fighter jet except the US Navy, there is no other Tomcat fighter jets in the world, and the parts are simply unavailable. Iranian ground crews have maintained the operation of more than 30 Tomcats, and many of the parts are made by themselves.

Fighters can make do with it, but the Iranians can't get more of the complex Immortal missile system. So the self-reliant Iranians came up with a new way to replace it with Hawk's surface-to-air missile! This kind of missile can be smuggled in the international market.

The Hawk missile weighs about 6oo kilograms, which is slightly heavier than the 45o kilograms of the Immortal Missile. Both use the radar semi-active guidance method illuminated by band continuous wave radar, and the firing control method is very similar. It only takes less complex improvements to complete it. Moreover, the Hawk surface-to-air missile shoots at a height of 10,000 meters and a range of kilograms when fired on the ground. When fired under the aircraft, the firing height can exceed 20,000 meters and a range of 1oo kilograms, which is very close to the Immortal.

Since the MiG25, which was able to successfully modify the Tomcat fighter jet and transform the MiG25, which is more backward in electronic technology, has not encountered many difficulties. Iranian ground crews have successfully transformed these MiG25s and become the killer weapon for long-range interception!

Now, these two MiG25 fighter jets carrying Hawk missiles have fired a squad missile at the two still confident f15e aircraft!
