Chapter 284: E-3 AWACS

F-4 takeoff! In the Aomori base, one after another bloated F-4 fighters came out of the hangar, started their engines, and prepared for takeoff. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Originally, after the F-15 fighter was equipped with the US military stationed in Japan, the F-4 fighter was almost reduced to the role of playing soy sauce, this heavy fighter has limited performance and is not suitable for fighting with flexible fighters, so they have retreated to the second line, the original plan is to use F-15 to seize air supremacy, and then use F-4 fighters to follow up and strike at the rolling Soviet armored torrent on the ground.

Therefore, the F-4 fighters are all ground-mounted, except for the auxiliary fuel tank and the two Sidewinder missiles for self-defense, the main mount is a variety of ground-attack bombs and missiles.

And now, the F-15's collective nest has forced the F-4 fighters to pick up the girder again, and the ground crew is hurriedly dismantling all kinds of bombs and replacing them with medium-range Sparrow missiles, which will waste at least half an hour of precious time!

And during this time, the fighters of the plaster flag that took off from the Chitose base were being abused by the 171st regiment of the Soviet Union, and the pilots of the plaster flag felt despair again, their fighters could not fight with the MiG-23 at all, the other party was too flexible! Moreover, the other side launched the missile so quickly, so fast that it made them feel incredible! Even the pilots of the F-15 were extremely depressed.

Finally, the F-4 fighter plane with the Sparrow missile on board hurriedly taxied from the runway and took off, just when they had just taken off and were climbing, they received an order from the early warning aircraft in the headset: "Attention, in the direction of Hokkaido, a MiG-25 is flying, with an altitude of 20,004 and a speed of 2.5!" ”

Attention, and only attention, such altitude and speed are beyond the interception range of the F-4 fighters, and the pilots of the F-4 fighters, while cursing the shamelessness of the Soviets, continue to turn on the afterburner climb.

For the whole seventies, NATO trembled under the deterrence of the MiG-25!

"The Aomori base is taking off fighters, and judging by the speed of climb, it should not be an F-15." High in the air on the MiG-31 interceptor, Andrei heard the announcement of the radar operator in the aft compartment.

Almost after leaving the AWACS aircraft, they flew to the south, while turning on the large radar at the front of the nose, scanning the airspace on the opposite side, just after flying over the original Kushiro-Rumoe junction line, the radar captured the situation in the south, and the Aomori base on the opposite bank took off the fighters!

If it is the F-15, thanks to the advantage of the thrust-to-weight ratio brought by the high-thrust engine, they can quickly climb at a high angle of attack, and now the American fighter that is in combat and takes off in an emergency will definitely take off with the afterburner turned on! But now, the other side is slowly climbing, which is not the F-15 way of flying at all!

What's going on? Andrei is very strange, the previous reconnaissance learned that the opposite Aomori base, there are twenty-four F-15s deployed, this base's air combat capability is very strong, but now? The Americans didn't even use their F-15 and sent F-4 fighters over?

It's so weird!

"Keep watching." Andrei said.

As the fighters fly at a rapid pace, they will soon be able to detect air bases further south, such as the largest Yokota base!

Almost at the same time, the American side has also realized that a high-altitude MiG-25 has single-handedly killed!

"Attention, a MiG-25 was found, attention, a MiG-25 was found!" Inside the radio, there was a little panic.

Of course I was terrified! At this time, flying over the island of Honshu was the most advanced equipment of the US Air Force, the E-3 AWACS aircraft!

As a new generation of early warning aircraft of the US military, this aircraft is much more advanced than the original EC-121 early warning aircraft! The body of the Boeing 707 is adopted, and the top is equipped with an advanced AN/APY-1 S-band pulse Doppler radar with a diameter of nine meters, which can divide the 360-degree azimuth circle into 32 sectors according to different combat conditions, and select the appropriate combination of working methods in each sector. Friend-or-foe systems can interrogate more than 200 transponder-equipped air, sea and land targets in a single scan.

It can deal with 400 targets at the same time, command its own aircraft group to engage in battle, and discover ultra-low-altitude targets at a distance of more than 300 kilometers, and high-altitude targets have a range of 500 kilometers.

At the same time, this kind of AWACS aircraft is expensive, and until now, the United States has deployed two E-3 AWACS aircraft in the island country, which belong to the 961 air traffic control squadron.

In order to coordinate this operation, the US military took off an E-3 early warning aircraft and flew back and forth over the relatively safe island of Honshu, and they could not only monitor the aircraft in the sky, but also the vehicles on the ground if needed!

However, they were not safe, the crew of the AWACS aircraft, clearly remember, the MiG-25 of the Soviets, once killed an EC-121 AWACS aircraft! At that time, although it was related to the carelessness of the personnel on the AWACS aircraft, it was actually close to the sky over the strait, but the MiG-25's strong altitude and speed, and the fast flight that could not be intercepted, were still the natural enemies of the AWACS aircraft.

And now, a MiG-25 of the Soviets, just like that, swaggered in, what did he want to do? Are you coming for yourself?

"Quick, fly south!" The commander of the AWACS aircraft shouted loudly, and no one did not feel fear of the MiG-25.

Compared with the EC-121, the E-3 AWACS aircraft uses the body of the Boeing 707, which still has an advantage in speed, and the maximum level flight speed can reach 850 kilometers per hour, which can be regarded as high subsonic speed.

With four turbofan engines at full power, the pilots operated the massive E-3 AWACS aircraft and quickly retreated south.

At the same time, the two F-4 fighters that accompanied the flight were also ready to use their own bodies to block missiles at critical times at any time.

At the same time, the MiG-31 interceptor also happened to capture this target from the radar screen.

"One large target and two small targets were found, which were supposed to fly north, and now, suddenly changing course, flying south." The radar operator said: "That large aircraft, the electromagnetic radiation is very strong. ”

Large-scale flight, strong electromagnetic radiation, did you catch the big guy again?

Andrei's eyes were suddenly full of war intent, since he found out, let's kill it! (To be continued.) )
