Chapter 32: The Confrontation Between the Doe and the Spectacled Snake (Three)

  The female deer has two TV3-117 turboshaft engines, each with a maximum power of 1640 kW. In normal times, each engine only outputs 1200 kW of power. If one is damaged in combat, the other will run at maximum power to support continued flight.

  It is not uncommon for an engine to be damaged in combat, but it is less common for both engines to be damaged at the same time.

  This time it can't be said that it was damaged, the engine just sucked in too much thick smoke, resulting in a stop, and it will be fine after restarting.

  However, starting in the air is absolutely unlike a car ignition, where you just turn the key.

  Wind speed, wind direction and various external conditions are all important reference conditions for the engine to restart. But at this moment, even if these conditions are met, Mahad is too late, because the intense rolling just now caused the plane to lose energy, and now it's only a dozen meters above the ground.

  A height of over ten meters is a height that makes all helicopter pilots feel embarrassed.

  If the height is sufficient, the aircraft can maintain a rotating state at the top of the rotor during descent under the action of airflow. This rotation weakens the downward force of the aircraft and provides traction to slow down the fall, ensuring the safety of the crew.

  If it were any lower, relying on the helicopter's anti-crash capability, landing gear and seats could all absorb some of the force, ultimately escaping with one's life.

  As a helicopter pilot, the greatest sorrow is not having a parachute. If you eject and escape, the rotor blades above your head will mercilessly chop you into minced meat.

  The doe tumbled rapidly down the slope before Mehdi's eyes, and his daughter's childish smiling face appeared.

  "Boom!" But instead of a massive explosion, Moore Santé was astonished to find that the plane had crashed into a muddy patch and miraculously survived without exploding.

  God bless the heroes of Iraq! Mehdi opens his eyes, he who survived the ordeal thanks the Almighty.

  Rasul and Shamsuddin looked at the female deer's huge body falling straight down, knowing that they had finally achieved a shot-down result. Although this helicopter was not hit by their own missile, but fell due to the smoke of the missile, they also felt satisfied, even if they could not survive, it was already worth it!

  Now they are on the brink of disaster.

  Seeing a small and agile Cobra attacking its own helicopter formation, Harry was already furious. He led the formation to immediately turn towards the three directions of the Cobra.

  We must get rid of this glasses snake!

  At the tail of the glasses snake, it was Shahid's No. 4 machine, which is the most advantageous position, so he took the lead in launching an attack.

  One AT-2 anti-tank missile, trailing a long flame, detached from the short wing of the doe and flew towards the solitary Cobra with a vengeance.

  Avenge the No. 3 machine! Shahid ordered the front weapon operator to launch a missile, but it was not enough. This type of missile attack is effective against tanks with poor mobility, but for helicopters that can move quickly and especially vertically up and down, there is always a risk of missing the target.

  If you miss the target, then come on with a fierce one, aerial bayonet!

  Rasul and Shamsuddin knew they were in big trouble, possibly the next second, both would disappear from this world.

  But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, one must make a hundred percent effort!

  Rasul was making a snake-shaped maneuver, trying to shake off the opponent's missile attack. Although he knew it was futile, the opponent had three helicopters and he could rely on luck to shake off the first one, the second one, but could he shake off the third one, the fourth one?

  "Release the jamming!" Rasul said.

  Shamsudin pressed the button and instantly, several infrared decoy flares were fired from one side of the aircraft.

  (Soviet Mi-24 Hind helicopters, until the late stages of the Afghan War, were constantly attacked by Stinger missiles and only then began to be equipped with an L-006 Birch radar warning system, four ASO-2V02 infrared flare dispensers, each containing 32 flares. Therefore, Iraqi Hinds did not have flare dispensers, while Iranian Hinds had them installed from the start, as US forces always emphasized electronic warfare capabilities and exported almost all non-downgraded models to Iran during its honeymoon period.)

  The AT-2 anti-tank missile was also infrared-guided, and at that time, the accuracy of infrared-guided missiles was not high, and they often chased the sun, wherever there was a large heat source.

  So, a decoy missile was released and this missile immediately tracked the trajectory of the decoy, drawing it away from the rear of the Cobra.

  Rasul's confidence surged instantly, there were 64 chaffs in total, if used sparingly, they might be able to last until the opponent finished firing missiles. At that time, there would still be a chance to escape.

  That missile was just a joke, now it's the real deal. Shahid had closed in on the Cobra, close enough to use his machine guns!

  The missile was just launched to make the opponent keep making S-shaped maneuvers, so that the opponent's speed would slow down and we could catch up with them.

  Missiles were originally unreliable, but machine guns were not.

  Under the big mouth of the female deer, a 12.7mm four-barreled "Catering" machine gun was equipped, with 700 rounds of ammunition. When this cannon is fired, it sounds all day long. Between every four bullets, there is an armor-piercing bullet and an incendiary bullet. Hitting the opponent's weak point can absolutely make the opponent explode in mid-air.

  "Rat-a-tat", the doe's muzzle finally spat out a tongue of flame, pouring bullets towards the cobra in front.

  "Bang, bang, bang." Instantly, several holes were punched through the rear of the glasses snake, fortunately not in a vital area.

  Accelerate, dive! Rasul knew that if he continued to be hit by bullets, even with armor plating on critical areas, he wouldn't last against the opponent's gunfire. Now, his only option was to accelerate and dive to reduce the probability of being hit.

  Rasul pressed down hard on the control stick.

  I knew you were going to do this! Shahid followed with a dive, and this time the bullets hit the opponent's propeller directly, banging loudly.

  "Aim for the rotor brake and variable geometry below." Shahid and the gunner in front said. The rotors were all armored and not easy to damage, but the mechanical devices below the rotors were more fragile.

  At this time, the 01 and 02 machines on both sides, two female deer also approached the cobra, the turret below can rotate left and right, they flew in parallel and fired at the same time. The bullets of the three helicopters all hit the cobra together.

  Three dozen and one, still can't be beaten?

  La Suo's eyes were urgent, and he couldn't escape, so he might as well take down another one! He fiercely stepped on the rudder pedal and charged towards the nearby doe.

  Two helicopters, even if they are close to fifty meters apart, are already quite dangerous. If the rotor blades on top of their heads collide, it will be a tragic accident that destroys the machine and kills people.

  Now, Rasul just wants to collide with the other side and crash another one. If he dies like that, it's worth it!

  At this moment, "Boom" sound, the oil tank of the Cobra was hit by the 02 machine on the right side.

  Rasul only felt a burst of flames erupting from behind, and then he was enveloped in a scorching sensation, losing consciousness in an instant.

  Killed that suddenly appeared glasses snake, haha Li is very strange, the other side is drilling here, what do you want to do?

  It's possible that this swamp is hiding some secrets. However, it just rained heavily and the enemy's armored group can't fly over even with their great skills.

  Fuel has been consumed more than half, Haha Li decided to return.

  Today's battle, on the surface, looks like a one-on-one, but everyone knows that this helicopter-to-helicopter dogfight is a defeat for us. Our four helicopters against their one, and yet we were ambushed and lost one of our own, with two pilots killed and two additional rescue personnel lost as well.

  Flying to the place where the plane had just crashed, Jabir first saw that the crashed female deer did not explode, but instead plunged into the swamp. On top of the huge rotor above it, there was a person standing on it waving at him.

  They didn't die!

  Those who have been through the war will care about the lives of their comrades. Now, seeing that their comrades are still alive, how can they not feel happy?

  There will be another chapter at 12 midnight, if you are still reading at that time, please spare a precious vote for me! The Eastern Overlord thanks you in advance!
