Chapter 781: Useless Sea Harrier

The fighter's airborne radar is the fighter's eyes, which can help the fighter see farther. However, the performance of airborne radars varies. For example, the small radar on the nose of the J-7 is a radar rangefinder, which helps the fire control system aim and is only an auxiliary link. Similarly, the radar of the Sea Harrier fighter also has the same function, which is to help scan the sky. As for combat, it still requires the pilot's superb skills to allow the AIM-9L missile's seeker to capture and lock the opponent, and then launch the missile.

Using radar to lock onto a target is a method that only medium-range air-to-air missiles can use. This type of missile rides the radar beam until it hits the target!

Being locked by the radar almost means being attacked by the opponent's medium-range missiles, which shocked Michelson greatly.

How is this possible? Argentina's old fighters don't even have advanced air-to-air missiles, let alone medium-range missiles! How can they have such weapons?

Moreover, the radar waves emitted by the other side were not the radar beams of the Super Etendard, but a kind they had never seen before!

Faced with the crisis, Michelson calmed down. Now, if he wanted to avoid the opponent's medium-range missiles, there was a unique method he could use!

Michelson pulled the lever, and the fighter plane flew upward at a high angle of attack. Due to air resistance, the speed of the fighter plane quickly dropped. Then, he pushed the small lever on the side, and the nozzle of the Pegasus engine turned down skillfully! At the same time, the nozzle in front also started to spray, and the Sea Harrier fighter plane easily changed from the forward state to the hovering state!

If the opponent is using a pulse Doppler radar, then as long as your fighter is stationary, it will be filtered out as clutter! Ordinary fighters need to turn their heading to the radial direction of the opponent in order to unlock the opponent. For vertical take-off and landing fighters, it is even simpler, just keep hovering!

When Mikaelson's fighter plane completely stopped hovering, the harsh sound in the headset finally disappeared! Success!

A milky white missile flew over Michelson's fighter plane. Michelson felt relieved. Just as he was about to push the joystick to return to flight mode, he saw a bright spot in the opposite airspace that was rapidly enlarging! The Argentine fighter planes had already arrived!

What kind of fighter is this? After a few seconds, Michelson saw the outline of the other party. It was different from any known fighter equipped by Argentina! This fighter had a smooth appearance and a standard second-generation aircraft structure. It was not made in the Soviet Union, but a French Mirage F1!

Just when he finally saw the opponent clearly, Mikaelson had no time to react. He saw a burst of white smoke coming out from under the opponent's wing, and then a magic air-to-air missile for close combat flew towards him!

The British pilot was indeed experienced. He actually used hovering in the air to unlock his radar! Tarif also saw the other party visually and couldn't help but despise him in his heart. He still needs to learn more from your American brothers! What is the most important thing in air combat? Of course, energy! Now hovering in the air, if you don't count the height, it is almost zero energy! This is simply the best target!

The magic air-to-air missile easily flew over the target, and then, with the appearance of brilliant fireworks, the pilot ejected from the cockpit, and the Sea Harrier fighter jet with thick smoke fell from the sky.

A vertical take-off and landing fighter? It's a joke! Especially using vertical hovering to avoid missiles is a stupid suicidal act! Having successfully achieved a victory, Tarif continued to look for his next target.

Most of the Mirage F1 fighters flew away after launching the Exocet missiles. The few that remained were all piloted by hired pilots who were experienced and skilled in driving. Under their operation, the Mirage F1 fighters kept tumbling in the air, with flames flashing under the wings, and the flying missiles easily killed the Sea Harrier fighters.

The biggest threat to them was not the Sea Harrier fighter, which was like a useless weapon, but the British Sea Dart anti-aircraft missiles! However, with the jamming pods, they no longer had to worry about anything. Moreover, the airspace they were operating in was 50 kilometers away from the British aircraft carrier formation, so they tried not to enter the opponent's air defense firepower circle.

At the same time, in addition to coming here to brush up their combat records, they also have another purpose, which is to attract the attention of the British escorting Sea Harrier fighters and cover the A-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft that continue to break through at low altitude!

In history, Argentina destroyed three British warships with only five Exocet missiles, which was very effective. Now, Argentina did not adopt the strategy of adding fuel, but fired almost all the Exocet missiles it bought at once. This battle is related to success or failure!

At the same time, the attack of Exocet missiles alone was obviously not enough. A large number of Argentine A-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft, carrying bombs, used Exocet missiles to attack the gaps in the chaos of the British aircraft carrier formation, and suddenly inserted themselves in to launch a second round of attacks!

Four A-4C Skyhawk pilots from the 4th Fighter Group: Ernesto Urreta, Jose Vasquez, Omar Castino, and Lieutenant Ensign Gerardo Isaac, flew their Skyhawk attack aircraft at a very low altitude towards the British aircraft carrier formation! Before this, they had conducted several simulated attacks targeting their own aircraft carriers, and now, with a fearless spirit, they went to attack the British Invincible aircraft carrier!

They knew that this might be a battle from which there would be no return, but they had no choice!

In order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, they continued to fly at an ultra-low altitude. At an altitude of only ten meters above the sea surface, four short and thick A-4 attack aircraft were flying quickly.

This attack aircraft, which was finalized in 1954, has a rather simple appearance from today's perspective. However, it has a simple structure, is sturdy and durable, and is welcomed by many countries. Argentina is the first foreign user to receive this type of aircraft. Now, Argentina owns a total of more than 70 Skyhawk attack aircraft!

Black smoke continued to appear on the sea surface, which was the result of the Exocet missile attack! Looking at the sea surface around them, the four pilots were full of confidence. They pushed the control lever flexibly, and the fighter plane drew a beautiful arc, flew past an escorting destroyer, and bravely rushed towards the Invincible aircraft carrier!

Even if they are destined to die, they will launch the final attack! This is their mission, Argentina and Britain, a battle of destiny!
