Chapter 1136: Second Line Air Force (Plus 8)
Holland Harbor! Located on the east coast of the Alaska Peninsula, it is a natural deep-water harbor, and excellent natural conditions make it a strategic location, where the U.S. Navy and Air Force are all important bases!
In World War II, the island nation regarded this place as a thorn in its side, and sent two aircraft carrier groups to attack here and bomb the US naval base, but unfortunately, it still could not destroy the war potential of the United States. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The geographical location allowed the US Air Force to take off from here and easily bomb the Soviet Far East. Therefore, the air base here, a fleet of B-52 bombers is deployed, and at the same time, a fleet of fighters is also deployed to escort bombers, all of which are F-15s.
At the same time, the Navy also has an air station, the P-3, from which it took off. This air station now has more than a dozen AV-8 fighters of the Marine Corps.
Now, the aircraft carrier of the Soviets is sailing towards their own side in the southern waters of their own side, and they have also shot down one of their own planes!
This news made the American army extremely angry, so, just after the order was issued, a fighter of the F-15 squadron took off!
A squadron in the United States, 24 fighters! And now, in addition to the five that were maintained, they have taken off a total of nineteen fighters! This group of planes is flying towards the sea in a mighty way!
In the United States, the combat objects of the Air Force and the Navy are different, and the F-15 fighters of the Air Force do not have an anti-ship mission at all, they are equipped with anti-aircraft equipment, and anti-ship is the business of the Navy's fighters.
They are not going out now to destroy the naval formations of the Soviets, in that case, the war will really begin. They were given the task of teaching the Soviets a hard lesson about their carrier-based aircraft!
At a distance of 200 kilometers from their aircraft carrier, outside the range of the aircraft carrier's anti-aircraft missiles, shoot down a couple of MiG-23Ks and hit the arrogance of the Soviets!
Avoid expanding the dispute!
Squadron Leader Captain Yorkson, sitting in his cockpit, turned on the AGP-63 radar and scanned the airspace ahead.
If it is the Kremlin that arrives, with advanced stealth aircraft, then the F-15 is definitely not an opponent, and now, only the backward second-generation aircraft, the MiG-23K, no matter how advanced this aircraft is, it cannot compete with its own fighters! This is the generation difference!
Thinking of this, Yorkson also felt some sadness, now, the powerful US Air Force, has degenerated to the point that it can only bully the backward fighters of the opponent?
No, the United States also has its own stealth aircraft! I hope that those F-22 fighters can be equipped with their own wings!
Just as I was thinking, on the screen of the radar, there was already an echo.
Four fighters! In the face of their own fleet, the other side actually only dispatched four fighters! Yorkson was overjoyed, and now he got the news that under normal circumstances, the Minsk only carries about ten MiG-23K carrier-based aircraft, and at the same time, the way of gliding and jumping off also limits the ability of the Soviets to make sorties. Being able to send four fighters at a time is already very efficient!
The distance between the two sides was rapidly approaching, and Yorkson shouted over the radio: "Attention, the second team is on guard at high altitude, the first team has set up the eagle wall, the target has been assigned, two salvos, destroy all four enemy planes!" ”
At this time, both sides were flying head-on, and the distance was already close to less than eighty kilometers as they spoke.
Yorkson expertly flipped the switches to provide guidance data for his two Sparrow missiles.
With the entry into service of the Soviet Union's active air-to-air missile R-77, the United States was equipped with Sparrow missiles, which were rapidly outdated, and in this case, the United States stepped up its development and developed the AIM-120 missile. However, due to funding problems, it has not yet been matched with the F-15 fighter, which requires a lot of work to be done to modify the code of the fire control system. Therefore, the current F-15 fighter can only carry Sparrow missiles for air combat.
Even so, they have absolutely nothing to worry about, after all, the target is only the lagging MiG-23K, what are you afraid of!
These pilots, who had always been on American soil, had never fought against Soviet fighters before, and if they knew what kind of metamorphosis the MiG-23K had become, they would not have thought so.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer, and when they reached 60 kilometers, Yorkson suddenly found that four targets on his radar screen suddenly became eight targets.
Damn, they turned out to be four twin-plane dense formations and fooled themselves!
In air combat, the mastery of the air situation depends entirely on one's own airborne radar, and the airborne radar is, after all, limited in ability to distinguish fighters in dense formations, because they have already overlapped together.
Four, it became eight, and even so, you still have an advantage!
And the next moment, this idea was finally swallowed back by Yorkson, and on each bright spot, two more bright spots came out, and they were firing missiles in a salvo on their own side!
Sixty kilometers, head-on attack!
Although the nominal range of missiles will reach 80 km, in fact, the missiles will be falsely marked, and if they are marked at 80 km, in fact, they will be sure to be launched within 40 km.
And now, the other side actually launched missiles at a distance of sixty kilometers!
Here, the Soviet pilot Joseph, was quite excited in his heart.
The MiG-23K has not been improved on a large scale, but as an aircraft carrier, their task is very significant, so their weapon system has been upgraded, and now, they are launching the latest R-77M missile! This missile, with a ramjet engine, can have a maximum range of up to 150 km!
Now, launching at a distance of sixty kilometers, it is absolutely nirvana! Two salvos, the first round of blows, will kill the eagle wall in front!
They have long found out about the actions of the Americans. After shooting down that patrol plane, they waited. When the reconnaissance satellite in space detected the take-off of fighters from the air base near Holland Port, the Minsk here also began to fly its own fleet.
Eight MiG-23Ks are almost the limit of what can be dispatched at one time, and now, in the face of the American fleet, they first camouflage themselves as four, and then pounce fiercely!
Eight MiG-23Ks, sixteen R-77Ms were launched, the Reaper, looming over the American fleet opposite!
"Attention, turn sideways to dodge." Captain Yorkson shouted over the radio.
Turn sideways to dodge! Although I don't know what kind of missile the other side fired, since the other side launched it, I have to respond!
Turning sideways is a common way to evade the opponent's radar lock, and this second-line air force has also done such training in peacetime.
But now, when it really came to actual combat, especially when the opponent's missiles were discovered, they soon soared to Mach four, and listening to the alarm locked by the radar in the headphones, some pilots began to feel panicked inexplicably.
