Chapter 121: Finding the Target

Large aircraft! In fact, an hour and a half ago, a large target was discovered at the air defense base on the Kamchatka Peninsula, but later this target disappeared, and they did not report it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

And now, this goal is flying in the direction of Sakhalin!

If the opponent does not change course, he will be able to fly over his own air in half an hour! This is the Soviet Union's Far Eastern strategic missile launch site!

Emergency! Through the telephone line, the information was quickly reported, and at the same time, the 592nd Air Defense Regiment, which had just been stationed at the Kameneirukii base, received an order to attack.

Emergency Interception!

Two Su-15 fighters, fighters that look like slender seabirds, start their engines on the tarmac, and the tail flame illuminates the eyes of the ground crew.

The runway had already been cleared once before dark, and now the snow was a few centimeters thick, but even then, the airspace of the Motherland had to be defended!

Captain Osipovich was sitting in the cockpit, and today it was his turn to be on duty for combat readiness, and this order to attack made him extremely sober, at this time, it must be an emergency!

Turning on the afterburner, the two p-13ะค-300 turbojet engines in the tail section, bursting out with a thrust of 70 kN, propelled the fighters, on the snowy runway, quickly slid and ran, and soon, pulled up.

Compared with the MiG-25, the thrust of this engine was far behind, but at that time, especially in the era when Khrushchev was very disgusted with aircraft and was only keen on missiles, the Su-15 was able to be developed. Put it into production, it's already pretty good. In the event of insufficient thrust, only such a scheme of an elongated fuselage can be used. By reducing flight resistance to achieve a faster flight speed, Huaxia's J-8 is almost the same idea, although the fighting ability is very poor, but its combat target is originally an invading bomber, and it can quickly take off and intercept, which is the most important thing.

Under the wings, two R-98 missiles and two R-60 missiles are mounted, standard interceptor mounts.

The Su-15 interceptor quickly disappeared into the dark night sky, and the ground crew soon could not even see the tail flame. And in the automated anti-aircraft interception system, the two interceptors are on their way to the scheduled route.

"467.467, course 260, distance two hundred." The voice of a ground radar guide came from the headset, and Captain Osipovich buckled his oxygen mask: "467 received, immediately turn the course to 260, the distance is two hundred, ready to intercept." โ€

Pushing the joystick, the fighter began to turn to the right.

Pitch black night sky. Seeing nothing, flying at night, is much more difficult than during the day, especially now. Flying completely on the instrument is a test of the pilot's skills.

Glancing to the right, the wingman followed his side. Both had navigation lights on on their planes, also to prevent accidental collisions.

Turn your head. Captain Osipovich turned on a couple of switches on the sides, and now it's time to warm up the Typhoon-M radar in front of him in advance. I hope that in this dark night sky, my own radar can detect the target as soon as possible, instead of relying only on the guidance of ground personnel.

Soon, the radar reacted, and the target should be a large aircraft, and our own airborne radar caught it from a distance of fifty kilometers!

"468, 468, ready to intercept." Captain Osipovich called his wingman, and at the same time, corrected the course and flew towards the target.

The night was still dark, and it was difficult to visually spot the target, but Captain Osipovich had to do so, and he had to make sure that he could only attack with visual confirmation. This is an unwritten rule of the Cold War.

Fortunately, soon, in Captain Osipovich's field of vision, a bright spot appeared, and the other party turned on the navigation lights!

Pulling the throttle lever back slightly, the fighter began to slow down, at this time, he looked down at the radar screen, and at a distance of eight kilometers, he could already see it visually!

Two slender Su-15s, flying towards the target, at the time of three kilometers, Captain Osipovich could already clearly see that this was a big guy, with lights on from beginning to end.

After crossing, the two Su-15s turned in the airspace behind, and then chased forward.

At this time, Captain Osipovich was wondering in his heart, what is going on? If it was an invading American reconnaissance plane, it would have turned off all navigation lights at this time, but now it has its lights on, and it looks like it is one of its own transport planes.

U.S. intelligence planes usually flew only along Soviet borders, while Western commercial planes could not carry passengers to Soviet military strongholds hundreds of miles away from established routes.

The 592 regiment has been deployed to Sakhalin for half a month, and recently participated in combat readiness duty, so it happened to this incident, it seems that it was sent by the headquarters in Vladivostok in the Far East, to test the speed of their own reaction?

Thinking of this, Captain Osipovich was no longer as nervous as he had just been, and he pushed the lever and cautiously leaned in.

It was just head-on, a flash, and now, leaning in from behind, you can see the plane more clearly, Captain Osipovich with his wingman, approaching the plane one on the left and one on the right, you can see that there are two rows of windows on both sides of the cabin, all of which are lit.

No, this is a civilian aircraft! And, judging by the lights inside and the shape of the windows, you can see that it's a Boeing!

"Sakhalin, Sakhalin, 467 report, 467 report, visual observation, this is an American Boeing, this is an American Boeing."

"Can you see the people inside the plane?" The sound came from the headphones again.

"Report, completely unreadable."

Although the windows were lit, the curtains had been closed from the inside, so it was impossible to see if there was anyone inside, and it was also impossible to see the people in the cockpit.

The shape of the passenger plane is certain, but it cannot be considered that it is a passenger plane flying at this time! You know, some reconnaissance aircraft in the US Air Force, for example, the common RC-135, were modified from passenger aircraft, and now, this must be a conspiracy against the Soviet Union!

It is absolutely impossible to pretend to be a passenger plane, to pretend to be a Lost passenger plane, to reconnoiter in the Far East of the Soviet Union! In the absence of orders from his superiors, Captain Osipovich kept a close track.

The Far Eastern Air Defense Forces are like a big enemy, and information is being reported quickly. (To be continued.) )
