scenario
Yes enough of the politics. Scenario, 30 Argentinean aircraft a mix of A4-AR / Mirage IIIEA approach the Falklands for a sneak attack. Unfortunately , the Brits have been alerted by intelligence, and 1417 flights 4 typhoons take off to engage armed with 8 AMRAAMS and 2 ASRAMMS each + centre line fuel tanks. Flying in wall formation at angels 30 in radar silence the lead typhoon starts to pick up intermittent A4-AR radar transmissions on the DASS indicating the AN/APG-66VE in search mode. The lead typhoons ECR-90`s is activated on to sweep the sky ahead. Immediately multiple hits are detected at low level angels 2. The lead typhoon data links the bogeys via JTIDS link to the other 3 typhoons. All typhoons blow the centre line tanks and accelerate to mach 1.2 in full military power and then to mach 1.75 using reheat. All ECR-90`s are activated and targets sorted via JTIDS gods eye view. No need to deploy the TRD (TOWED RADAR DECOY). At 35 miles and closing the typhoons computer told each AMRAAM where its target A-4/mirage was. The 32 AMRAAM missiles were now screaming to be unleashed. The engagement tone in the earphones was now high pitched and the TD box in the HUD flashed indicating optimum time to launch. All typhoon pilots via voice command instructed “select AMRAAM 1 -8” and pulled the trigger. With 8 dull thuds the angry AMRAAMS screamed away from each of the typhoons and in seconds became distant twinkling lights. Each typhoon pilot now focused on the remaining 2 ASRAAMS awaiting any “leakers” escaping the AMRAAM umbrella…………………………………….
