C829 Intercept
C829 Intercept
At the same time, because when the missile was launched, the altitude of the aircraft would not be too high. If the missile needed to climb up, it would consume precious energy, and the speed would be reduced. These were all unfavorable factors.
In this aspect, there was no need for the Undying Bird Missile to worry.
The Undying Bird Missile originally wanted to fly high. Even if the aircraft was fired at a height of 10,000 meters, the missile would still be able to reach a height of 24,000 meters. This was how its program was set.
The main thing was its speed.
The faster the target was, the smaller the interception window would be. The faster the interception system reacted, would the Undying Bird Missile be able to complete this quest?
If the Undying Bird Missile was not enough, then he would use his system's advantage to harvest the opponent's flying Spirit Focus.
After all, as he continued to upgrade the system, the area he could search would also become bigger and bigger. As long as the other party was close enough, he would be able to harvest the other party's Spirit Focus.
Of course, this is the last resort.
Everyone was sweating, but in the sky, Chen Rui was full of confidence.
"Prepare two Undying Bird Missile." Chen Rui said to Radar Officer as he flew.
In the past, Chen Rui only flew on one seat. He needed to operate the radar by himself. Now that he had Radar Officer, he could relax.
After all, the launch of the Undying Bird Missile was not simple.
Activate the Undying Bird Missile!
Zhang Yang moved the switch one by one. The two Undying Bird Missile in front of the Aircraft Belly were connected with electricity. Then, the cooling liquid inside the body also began to flow into the interior of the missile.
That's right, the preparation of the Undying Bird was very cumbersome. It even needed the cooling liquid.
If one wanted to attack the enemy, they could not do so at the last minute. They had to be prepared first. The AiM-54 Undying Bird Missile could be activated during the flight of the F-14. This was also a necessary step.
However, the heat generated by the missile's Electronic System was very high. If it wasn't cooled down, the bullet would melt or catch fire. It would even affect the safety of the F-14. Therefore, the Undying Bird had to use the F-14's internal storage and the cooling liquid that was transmitted to the missile to take away the waste heat. With that, it could ensure that the missile could be used normally. This cooling requirement affected the preparation work before the launch. At the same time, it could not prevent the cooling liquid from leaking.
This set of long-range missile system was so cumbersome. It was only after the C-type missile used an all-solid circuit that this hidden danger was eliminated.
Along with the circulation of the cooling fluid, the gyro inside the missile also began to operate. The missile had the prerequisite to launch.
"Ghost, target is 500 kilometers away. Height: 28,000, speed: 2 Mach, still accelerating."
The voice of the ground guide could be heard from the earpiece.
If an ordinary fighter wanted to fly at supersonic speeds, they would need to turn on the acceleration. Only the freakish F22 in the future would not be used. It had the ability of a Supersonic Cruise. As for the acceleration combustion room, it could not be used for a long period of time, and it could only be used for less than three minutes at most. Otherwise, the engine would be scrapped.
However, the MiG-25 wasn't the case. Its acceleration combustion room was specially made. As long as one wanted to fly, they could keep flying until there was no fuel.
In order to complete the mission as soon as possible, after the pilots of White Elephant Country entered the Han Country's airspace, they would complete the investigation as quickly as possible. Of course, they had to speed up.
"Specter received." Chen Rui shouted on the radio, then said to Zhang Yang, who was sitting in the backseat, "PDS mode, search for target."
When fighting in the sky, the time was calculated in seconds. In order to find the target as early as possible, this mode was needed.
In the AWG-9 Radar System, this mode was the furthest away. To deal with a large target like MiG-25, the distance would definitely be 300 kilometers.
Of course, this could only be seen by the target. There were no specific parameters for the target. After the target was discovered, it would be switched to PDSTT mode.
"Understood, PDS mode." As Zhang Yang spoke, he adjusted the radar equipment in front of him. On the rectangular screen, a rotating light appeared.
When he took off, he had already warmed up the Radar System, so he could start the engine and enter working mode.
Ten seconds later, a bright spot appeared on the screen.
"Target found."
"Ghost, target is 300 kilometers away, height 28,000, speed 2.5 Mach." The voice of the ground guide could be heard again from the earpiece.
Since the equipment was the latest, there was no way for the ground to connect to the data link of the fighter aircraft. They could only use this voice guidance method. This method was already the most direct.
"Understood." Chen Rui said, "Prepare to launch the missile."
Just now, he had already climbed up to 20,000 meters in the air and was flying at a high speed. Now, he used the acceleration again.
As the acceleration was released, the wings on both sides flew backwards in unison. It became like a dart. This was the state when he was sprinting. Every time Chen Rui saw the change in the wings, it was as if he had seen a science fiction movie. It was quite satisfying.
The head of the plane pierced through the conical cloud and entered supersonic flight mode.
If they wanted to launch the missile further, they would need the aircraft to give it the greatest amount of energy! Since the aircraft on their side could no longer climb, they could only use acceleration.
In the midst of accelerating, Chen Rui continued to speak to Zhang Yang, who was behind him, "Access to PDSTT mode."
"Understood."
The tail of the Male Cat Fighter emitted blazing flames. The fighter aircraft was constantly accelerating and accelerating. The distance between the two parties was also rapidly closing.
After switching to PDSTT mode, the data of the target appeared on the Airborne Radar's screen along with the bright spots.
"The missile height has been set to 30,000. Set the data and prepare to launch." Chen Rui's commands were clear and clear.
At this time, the Male Cat Fighter had also accelerated to Mach 2. In the sky, the distance between the two fighter planes was getting closer and closer.
How far the Undying Bird Missile could fight depended entirely on the situation on both sides. Now, the relative speed of both sides exceeded Mach 4, even if it was launched 200 kilometers away. It could still hit the target because the target would fly over and crash into the missile.
However, Chen Rui was not in a hurry.
"150 kilometers away."
"100 kilometers away."
"Target locked!" Chen Rui suddenly shouted.
Following his order, a huge AWG-9 Radar Antenna appeared in front of the Male Cat Fighter. The electromagnetic waves shot out continuously and hit the MiG-25 airplane on the opposite side. It was as if the alarm system had been broken.
The MiG-25 radar alarm receiver was triggered.
