Chapter 641 S-300 Attack

The Turkish Air Force was not at fault this time. It was just defending its own airspace. The Soviets were invading and using their anti-aircraft missiles to invade their own airspace. Would they dare? Of course not!

The Turkish Air Force is powerful, and Turkish airspace is inviolable! It is ridiculous that our own air force dares not even fly into our own airspace! This world must be reasonable.

Evren is very tough. In his opinion, the Soviet Union’s current concession is caused by Türkiye’s tough stance. Türkiye must not be weak at this time!

Under Evren's position, Türkiye continues to slide into an abyss with no bottom in sight...

Lieutenant Black continued to fly the F-16 fighter jet on the border route. This fighter jet has excellent aerodynamic performance, a high-thrust engine, and is maneuverable and flexible. At the same time, its electronic equipment is also very powerful. Therefore, Lieutenant Black now has 100% confidence in protecting Turkey's airspace!

The wingman flew behind Lieutenant Black, and the two planes patrolled along a fixed route as before.

However, his wingman was not as confident as he was. Intelligence had shown that the Soviets had deployed S-300 air defense missiles on the Iranian side! This type of air defense missile had a killing radius of 100 kilometers, which meant that it was dangerous for the enemy to get within a distance of 100 kilometers!

And now, they have flown to a distance of 50 kilometers from the border, which is quite dangerous! The Soviets' surface-to-air missiles are very powerful. In the Fourth Middle East War, the SAM-6 anti-aircraft missiles knocked down dozens of Israeli planes!

And now, we are flying within the Soviet anti-aircraft fire circle, which is simply dancing on the edge of death!

Although such a voyage only lasts a few minutes, it is also the most dangerous few minutes!

There are towering mountains below. When flying over the mountains, even the advanced pulse Doppler radar cannot perfectly detect the ground using synthetic aperture mode. The electronic technology of that era was not advanced enough.

The only thing they can rely on is the radar warning receiver. They hope that the high-end equipment from the United States can detect the enemy’s radar illumination in advance and allow them to avoid it as soon as possible.

The wingman's concerns were justified. At this moment, on the other side of the border, in a flat canyon in the middle of the mountains, several large missile vehicles had been deployed.

The MA3-543M special high-mobility truck looks like a ballistic missile launcher, rugged and powerful, with four axles and all-wheel drive. At the rear of the vehicle, four large barrels are hydraulically driven and erected on the launch site.

Loaded inside is the 9M82 missile with a range of 100 kilometers! This kind of missile is extremely powerful!

At the same time, a large flat object was erected on the chassis of another identical truck. This is the 9S15MT three-coordinate phased array radar with an average transmission power of 10 kilowatts and an effective range of 250 kilometers. It can detect 200 targets, track 75 targets, and send target data to the command vehicle.

At this time, as the antenna rotated, the radar operating officers and soldiers in the control room of the radar vehicle had already seen clear bright spots on the screen.

"Two targets, one hundred miles away, six thousand miles high, approaching!" the radar operator shouted.

"At 70 kilometers, switch to lock mode and launch missiles!" The commander of the radar battalion issued a combat order.

If we lose a fighter plane, we have to shoot down the Turkish fighter plane as well! As an air defense missile unit, they are most accustomed to doing such tasks!

The distance of thirty kilometers was reached in a flash. The radar soldier operated the radar and switched it to locked state. The radar signal was irradiated onto the target, ready to provide guidance for the missile.

At the same time, the lid on the top of the cylindrical launch vehicle opened, and white gas enveloped the entire launch vehicle. In the white smoke, a 9M82 missile, dragging a tongue of fire, flew out!

And from another launch vehicle, a missile also flew out!

Two missiles, attack two targets!

The phased array radar continued to illuminate the target, stimulating the radar warning receiver of the F-16 fighter. A clear signal came from the headphones, indicating that it had been locked by the radar!

Being locked by the ground radar means being attacked! At this moment, Lieutenant Black knew that he was facing a great crisis!

What to do? Since the radar is locked, get rid of the other party's radar lock! If it is an ordinary pulse Doppler radar, then as long as it turns to the radial direction of the opponent, it can be filtered out as clutter! However, Lieutenant Black knows that the opponent's S-300 missile system uses a phased array radar, and sideways turning is ineffective against it!

Therefore, there is only one way to get rid of the lock, that is to dive immediately and get into the mountainous area! The mountainous area is the enemy's radar signal blind spot, and the enemy cannot continue to lock on.

However, the current altitude is 6,000 meters. If we want to get into the mountainous area, we have to dive down at least 4,000 meters! During this time, can the enemy's missiles fly up?

The Soviet S-300 missile is a new type of missile, and all data about it, such as its maximum speed, are kept secret. So Lieutenant Brack can only take a gamble.

After hearing the sound of being locked by the radar, Lieutenant Black pushed the joystick and the F-16 fighter dived downward like an eagle diving to catch its prey.

The altimeter needle was rotating rapidly, and the Mach meter showed that the fighter's speed had exceeded the speed of sound.

Dive, keep diving! Not only can the low-altitude mountains hide our radar signals, but the enemy's missile positions must also be located in the valley, not on the top of the mountain. Therefore, as long as we continue to dive, the enemy's radar signals will also be blocked by the mountains around the enemy's positions!

Lieutenant Black felt that all the muscles in his body were being pulled. The heavily overloaded seat helped the blood to circulate, but his vision gradually began to blur.

However, the overload did not continue to increase, and the speed of the fighter was around Mach 1.5 and could not go any higher.

The reason is simple. The F-16 fighter was designed as a low-end aircraft. Therefore, in order to reduce weight, it does not use a complex adjustable air inlet like the F-15 fighter, but uses a fixed three-element Pitot tube air inlet. This type of air inlet cannot take into account the flight performance in all conditions, especially at high speeds. This type of air inlet will greatly increase resistance. Therefore, the maximum speed of the F-16 cannot exceed Mach 1.6.

As it is now, with the missiles hanging outside, the F-16's speed has reached its limit.
