On the MFD, I can see the wingman, ten miles behind, and below the leader, edging out in a pincer movement, angling to fire a radar missile at me.

I am in the f-pole joust with the lead, though, and cannot deviate. I can only wait.

The R-27TE goes wild. I do not know why! But the enemy’s maneuvering has brought it into planform, a perfect target!

The R-27RE flies true, the enemy explodes in a bright flash.

Now, I roll hard left, into the wingman, and realize he is close.

He has chosen to engage me with the excellent R550 “Magic” IR missile in basic fighter maneuvers, rather than to take me with the Super-530 or MICA.

I select Close Combat mode, and slam down my visor for the “Shlem” target reticle, should I need it.
