Unity of Command and Interdiction

<p>Fox I leader at 18 thousand from Nickel 1. As the AIM-7 radar missile streaked at the unseen enemy Nickel 1 cranked his F-15C into a hard turn down and to the left. Nickel 2's clean Dammit the leader muttered to himself his radar work is better than that that Two should have a radar contact by now. The life-and-death game of chicken continued closing from 18 nautical miles to inside 12. Startled by a tone in his headset the flight lead glanced at the radar warning display to see that a MG-29 had locked him up with his on board radar. Nickel 1 was well inside the MiG's WEZ (weapons employment zone). And he's probably fired he thought. A quick switch action dispensed chaff. Adding to his consternation the F-15 pilot had lost sight of his wingman and there was now a cloud deck between his jet and the adversary. Will his missile destroy the bandit? Has the adversary fired? He hates it when this happens. Suddenly a blinding flash!
