Glide jump take-off, greatly limit the bomb load of the carrier-based aircraft, so that the carrier-based aircraft can not take off with full load, this is the misunderstanding of the glide jump take-off in later generations, especially for the Su-33, that the Su-33 has a huge volume and bomb load, but it can not be played on the aircraft carrier.

Actually, this is a misunderstanding, there are two take-off lines on the jump deck of the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, and if you use that short one, you can indeed only take off with half oil, and if you use that 175-meter-long take-off line, you can take off with a full load! It's just that at this time, the take-off position has coincided with the land area, resulting in low utilization of the deck.

And now, the RD-33 engine has been improved, the afterburner thrust is up to 160 kN, and with the good take-off and landing performance given by the straight shape of the wing, the take-off of the MiG-23K carrier-based aircraft is quite easy!

At the tail of the fighter, an orange-red tail flame appeared, and the ground crew, after careful inspection, made a skillful gesture to the pilot.

From turning on the brakes and turning on the afterburner, the MiG-23K slid on the take-off line, feeling the fighters swaying left and right with the aircraft carrier, and the pilot Joseph was excited.

This sense of acceleration made every fighter pilot extremely sour, and finally, the front was already curled up to the upper end of the leaping deck, and after continuing to fly forward, the horizon began to disappear, and the fighter had left the aircraft carrier deck!

Behind, the wingman also took off, and Joseph looked at the magnificent sea, and as a naval aviationman, he was extremely proud.

Just two years ago, Joseph was a pilot of the Yak-36M, and after an ocean-going voyage, the superior ruled out the Yak-36M, a chicken-like carrier-based aircraft, and Joseph, these pilots, also returned to the Ukrainian carrier-based aircraft pilot training center to master the piloting skills of the MiG-23K carrier-based aircraft. After that, he joined the second Minsk aircraft carrier and became a glorious carrier-based aircraft pilot.

Compared with the Yak-36M's kind of pit take-off, Joseph and others certainly prefer the current fighter, the take-off and landing are smooth, when it flies, relying on the excellent engine and swept wing layout, the combat capability of this aircraft is also extremely powerful.

For example, now, with more than a ton of ground attack ammunition mounted, they still have a combat radius of 800 kilometers! And if it is Yak-36M, at best it will be more than 100 kilometers!

Fly over 300 kilometers of ocean, enter land, support your ground forces, and return home with plenty of fuel!

The fighter continued to climb, and when it was pulled to 6,000 meters, it had already caught up with the two MiG-23Ks that had taken off from the other Kiev, swept the wings back to the end, and with minimal drag, the formation of four fighters carried out a cruising flight at high altitude.

The long plane, Joseph, turned on his own radar.

The MiG-23 used by the Air Force and the Air Defense Force is only a transitional model, and in the case that the MiG-29 has begun to be refitted, the MiG-23MLA will gradually be equipped with second-line aviation units, so the MiG-23 of the Air Force and the Air Defense Force has not been replaced with a more advanced radar, but only a further improved Sapphire 23 radar is used, however, the Navy's carrier-based MiG-23K is different, and the Navy's next-generation carrier-based aircraft must be chosen between the MiG-29 and the Su-27, but, The modification of these fighters will take at least five or six years to complete, so at this stage, the MiG-23K is the most valuable carrier-based aircraft of the Navy!

In this case, of course, the Navy should add the most advanced configuration to this fighter, and the twin-engine RD33 is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is to be equipped with advanced fire control! The flat slot radar is completely transplanted from the MiG-29, and at the same time, the fire control system can also be equipped with a variety of advanced weapons, in addition to various ground weapons, as the main weapon for seizing air supremacy, and even the latest R-27 air-to-air missile from the Pennant Design Bureau!

If it weren't for the fact that after all, the restrictions on glide take-off were too great, and even long-range anti-aircraft missiles such as the R-33 would want to be mounted on the MiG-23K.

After turning on the radar, start to scan the air, this is just a habit of Joseph, after all, there is another deficiency of his own aircraft carrier formation, that is, there is no carrier-based early warning aircraft!

The way of gliding jump take-off can make fighters with a large thrust-to-weight ratio take off, but it cannot make other aircraft with a small thrust-to-weight ratio take off in various sea conditions, so when the later Kuznetsov still uses the sliding jump take-off method, the An-72 early warning aircraft and the Yak-44 early warning aircraft actually have no chance to be deployed on the aircraft carrier, not to mention that these two early warning aircraft have not been developed at all.

And now, with the adjustment of the Soviet direction of operations, the Navy has been allocated more resources, and both AWACS aircraft are steadily being developed, but it will take some time to get on the ship, and it will not be equipped until the subsequent newer aircraft carrier equipped with catapults is built.

The scheme of carrier-based AWACS aircraft based on Ka-27 is also under development, and the current Soviet aircraft carrier formation, one of the biggest shortcomings, is that there is no carrier-based AWACS aircraft!

However, due to the influence of the curvature of the earth, the air defense forces of the fleet are unable to detect enemy planes flying close to the surface of the sea, and in order to make up for this shortcoming, the method adopted by the aircraft carrier formation is to place the two escorting Krivac-class missile frigates as far forward as possible, so that the frigates' top radar can be used to detect enemy planes flying farther away on the sea surface. Even then, it only expanded the range of air defense forward by about fifty kilometers.

Due to the limitation of the number of carrier-based aircraft, and the fact that carrier-based aircraft cannot take off all the time, the navy's carrier-based aircraft aviation units have formed a habit of using their own radar to scan the airspace after taking off in this combat situation, so as to provide more early warning time for their own aircraft carrier formations.

And now, this four-plane formation is going to attack the ground, and the commander of the formation, Joseph, still turns on the radar, and the flat slit radar antenna radiates electromagnetic waves and shoots into the airspace ahead.

There is no situation in the high sky, there is no situation in the middle of the air, low altitude? There are four targets at low altitude!

"024 calls Minsk, 024 calls Minsk, four targets were found at low altitude, 030 direction, height 100, speed 400, distance a hundred." Joseph called quickly over the radio.

It is already 200 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier formation, and these four targets are only 100 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier formation!

The other side flew too low, and the radar of the Krivac-class missile frigate in the front of the aircraft carrier has not yet found the target! (To be continued.) )
