What the Iraqis did not expect was that Iran had not dispatched fighter jets to intercept them for a long time. As a result, they had enough fighter jets today and actually took off five!
This is a credit!
Whether it is the Soviets who showed the advanced nature of the Soviet MiG-29 to the Iraqis, the American pilots who also showed the superiority of the F-16, or even Iraqi Air Force pilots, they all hope that they can shoot down the other side.
There are more wolves and less meat.
This was what everyone thought at the beginning, so the Soviets launched missiles after the other side had just entered the range. They knew that the performance of the R-77 missile was problematic and the hit rate was relatively low, so the five targets launched a total of eight missiles.
The American F-16 is not equipped with long-range air-to-air missiles at all. Only the F-14 is equipped with the Aim-54 Immortals. These missiles have proven to be unsatisfactory, and the Iraqis are not interested at all. At the same time, the Aim-120 is too advanced and will not be exported to Iraq, a country hostile to Israel. As a result, these F-16s can only engage in close-range air combat.
What they didn't expect was that the other party actually launched missiles at a long distance!
Seeing this situation, everyone laughed, and the Iranians were scared by them.
Before their smiles fell, why would they open their mouths even wider? Seven missiles fired by Soviet pilots were hit by the opponent's missiles! How lucky is this?
Such a situation is simply unimaginable.
Even the missile that was not shot down passed by a missile from the other side. In the end, the missile came directly here!
No one expected that such a situation would occur on the battlefield between Iran and Iran.
No one could imagine that the Iranians began to run for their lives when they discovered them. As before, they launched all the long-range missiles carried on the fighter plane and turned around and fled. This result occurred.
After a moment of silence, the opponent's missile was less than ten kilometers away from the Iraqi camp's fighter jets.
The onboard radar has been found to be locked by a missile, and the alarm sounds wildly, reminding the pilot to deal with it, otherwise he will face the fate of being shot down.
The Soviets didn't care about missiles coming for them. Anyway, the fighter jets had bait bomb systems, and when the bait bomb was released, the opponent's missile would not be able to find the real target at all. The Americans also didn't care. Their fighter jets also had such a system. No matter how fast the opponent's missiles were, they were just moving in a straight line. The missiles they carried were advanced enough that they could hit the attacking missiles with short-range missiles.
However, they also thought of this scene before them, and they never thought about the reason why the opponent's missile could hit their own missiles and explode.
The missile approached the locked target at a flight speed of more than Mach 3, and the Iraqi air force was still raiding ahead at this time. They wanted to chase each other's fighter jets, and the speed of the two sides added up to make the approach faster.
Ten kilometers, it looks very far, in the sky, but it comes in an instant!
"Release bait bombs and avoid missiles!" The Soviets and Americans were well-trained. Under the current circumstances, both sides were originally hostile camps. Although they could not escalate the opposition between the two sides in Iraq, they could not let themselves say that they were compared by the other party.
Almost at the same time, pilots from both countries released bait bombs at the incoming missiles.
The Iraqi Air Force, which did not respond in time, was originally a bait to attract the enemy. There were still five missiles flying towards this side. Only two missiles were heading towards Iraq's MiG-25. At this time, it was impossible to accelerate the air in a short time and start over. It could only make a large radius turn and then flee to the back.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Two orange fireballs appeared in the air in succession, and then countless fighter plane parts flew in all directions. The formations became scattered before, and each fighter plane had a distance, otherwise it would be more than just two MiG-25s that would be lost.
The Soviets were in danger, and the Americans were in danger too.
Only one missile attacked the four MiG-29s. At this time, the naked eye could even see the appearance of the missile attacked by the other side.
When the locked Soviet pilot saw this situation, he instantly activated his force and fled forward. At the same time, he released bait bombs outside, and dozens of bait bombs were fired in the direction of the missile. The missiles following behind also rushed forward suddenly. When passing through the area where the bait bombs were located, it seemed that they had not seen these bait bombs at all!
"This is not an infrared guided missile!" The other Soviet pilots were immediately anxious!
The locked pilot who had just breathed a sigh of relief was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly pulled up the joystick, allowing the fighter to climb quickly towards the top. The missile passing through the bait bomb area made the same reaction in less than 0.1 second!
"Boom!" When the MiG-29's driver gritted his teeth and prepared to continue to pull up, and made a cobra maneuvering action, allowing the missile to pass through the fighter to ensure his safety, the missile actually directly concentrated the MiG-29's tail engine!
The Soviets were stunned.
The opponent's missile performance far exceeds their cognition. It is like having a very high IQ and being able to choose a target. It ignores the bait bomb at all and gives up the bait bombs directly. It will soon be able to adjust the movements according to the movements of the fighter!
Such advancedness was not available in the Soviet Union.
They have never even heard of missiles that can achieve such performance, and these missiles were launched dozens of kilometers away.
And the Americans had no time to laugh at the Soviets at this time.
The same was true when they saw the missile attack, releasing bait bombs, and the number was far more than the Soviets released. In fact, their other two unlocked fighter jets were locking incoming missiles with airborne radar systems in order to rescue their comrades.
The f-16 and the MiG-29 are both light and medium-sized fighters, but the performance of the f-16 is much higher than that of the MiG-29, and the avionics and radar systems are not comparable to that of the Soviets.
However, at this time, they discovered that the opponent's missiles were evasive as their locked fighter jets made various tactical actions and constantly adjusted their actions, and they could not effectively lock them.
"Start!" A pilot who was not locked, after predicting the next trajectory of the opponent's missile, launched the Aim-7e missile in advance, and not one.
The result was that his missiles could not catch up with each other!
"Farke!" The locked American pilot is sweating profusely now. He never thought that the other party's missiles could reach this level. For a pilot like him, it was a life-and-death test, and he even had no time to pay attention to his comrades, just relying on his instinct to avoid it.
The moment he saw that the missile was about to hit the fighter, the pilot immediately controlled the fighter and thought of flipping the side. The incoming missile just rubbed the belly of the aircraft and flew forward.
"God bless!" Everyone thought it was nothing.
Even if the missile turns in front, it will give them enough reaction time.
The American pilot did not expect that at this time, the missile had just crossed the fighter's distance of less than a thousand meters and actually began to turn around!
How can this prevent them from being frightened?
Moreover, even the other party's turning radius is not as large as they imagined.
The pilot who had dodged the missile sideways had just restored the fighter's flight posture, but he didn't expect that a missile would fly towards him with its blazing tail flames at a very fast speed, and he couldn't dodge it at all. In an instant, he subconsciously pressed the seat ejection button.
"boom!"
As soon as the seat of the fighter ejected, it turned into a ball of fire.
The pilot who was ejected saw this scene with his own eyes.
Another locked fighter plane was also constantly avoiding it. After turning and dodging, the opponent's missile also turned, and finally hit the side of the fighter plane, which turned into a huge fireball, resounding throughout the sky, and even the pilots inside didn't have time to parachute!
"Fake!" Two of the four F-16s were killed by two missiles. Under such circumstances, the remaining Iraqi pilots did not dare to stay here at all, and they did not dare to chase and kill the run away. Instead, they fled quickly to the back.
Although only one Soviet was killed, they were also angry with each other.
At such a moment, it is impossible to retreat.
The two pilots of the two countries, who were originally life-and-death enemies, had no chance of joint combat in this era. Because they were killed by the Iranians with unknown missiles, they began to share the same hatred of the enemy and cooperated briefly.
Three MiG-29s and two F-16s. At this time, the pilot actually communicated in sign language and rushed towards the fleeing Iranian fighter plane!
The opponent's missiles hit all five!
This is a result that no one expected.
Even the Iranians do not know the outcome of the battle.
They haven't started turning around yet.
Moreover, the Soviets' uninterrupted missile kept chasing behind their fighter planes. They were almost hit several times, using the cobra maneuver to avoid it, and eventually the missile fell directly to the ground due to exhaustion of fuel.
