The body of the EP-3 electronic reconnaissance aircraft is a normal layout, with a cantilever lower wing, a traditional aluminum alloy structure, and the power plant is four Allison T56-A-4 turboprop engines, each with a power of 366 kilowatts, each driving a 54H60-77 four-bladed constant-speed propeller. Because of the abundant engine power, as was the case with bombers during World War II, one engine was often turned off during many missions to save fuel, prolong the time spent in the air, and even turn off both external engines if the weight of the aircraft was suitable.

Generally speaking, if the engine is turned off, the No. 1 engine outside the left is chosen, because this is the only one of the four P-3 engines without a generator, and there is no need to generate electricity for the electronic instruments on board, because there is no exhaust after the engine is turned off, the EP-3 is on the port side of the aircraft, adding an observation window.

Now, the observer on this EP-3 saw a thrilling scene like this, the opponent's fighter actually cut off a piece of his own wing!

If only the engine is broken, then after the No. 1 engine is turned off, the plane can still be controlled and continue to fly. However, now that a piece of the wing has been cut off, the situation is completely different!

The left wing provided insufficient lift, and suddenly the left fell down, while the right side provided too much lift, which caused the right side to rise, and in an instant, the huge EP-3 fuselage showed a noticeable side turn.

At this time, the altitude of the plane began to decline rapidly, with the high-frequency sound that pierced the air, making everyone in the cabin feel fear.

Is it going to crash?

"Steady, steady!" Atheus shouted loudly, although he was the executive officer of the mission, he was not a pilot, and he had no other way but to shout in the face of the sudden impact of the plane.

The pilots struggled to hold on to the control wheel, and the EP-3 was still descending, and if it continued like this, they would all have to go into the sea!

eon，baby！ The pilot shouted as he pulled the control wheel back vigorously, and finally, at an altitude of two thousand meters, the plane was leveled.

"Return, we'll return immediately!" Asus shouted, and from the cockpit on this side, he could see the MiG-25, flying proudly in front of it, and the red five-pointed star on the hanging tail was so eye-catching.

"No, our plane was hit and seriously damaged, so we can only choose to make a forced landing, and we can't continue to fly thousands of kilometers to return home!" The pilot shouted.

Part of the left wing was dropped, and although the plane was holding on now, it wouldn't be flying for long, and the pilot could even think that as long as he made a big turn, the plane would definitely lose its balance and fall!

You can only choose to make a crash landing!

However, if you make a forced landing, where can you make a forced landing? This plane is not a seaplane again! You can only choose to make a land crash landing! And the land near here, that's the Soviets!

"No, we have to fly back!" Artheus reverted to his old stubbornness.

At this moment, a crosswind blew, and suddenly, the entire body began to shake violently again, and everyone in the cabin exclaimed.

When Atheus was shaking just now, his body collapsed on the seat, his face turned pale, if he was forcibly ordered to go back, it could only crash in the middle of the way, and there was no other choice but to make a forced landing!

Where is the crash landing to? It seems that there is a military airfield for the Soviets nearby, at least on land first!

Sitting in the cabin of the MiG-25, looking out through a narrow field of vision, Belenko was speechless for a while, Andrei's actions just now were absolutely deliberate! It's crazy, I actually took the initiative to collide with the other party, but this effect is not bad!

"Sokolovka, Sokolovka, 032 call, 032 collided with the interception target, the interceptor target lost the ability to fly and is falling into our airspace." Andrei shouted to the base on the radio: "Repeat, the interception target is incapacitated and is falling into our airspace." ”

There were anti-aircraft missile positions in front, and Andrei was very worried that the American electronic reconnaissance plane would be knocked down by an anti-aircraft missile, so that his hard work would be in vain.

"Continue surveillance, 032, report damage to the aircraft." The sound of the ground came from the headphones.

"Our plane is normal and can continue to fly, intercepting the target with the loss of one engine and one wing." Andrei reported on the radio: "Visually forced landing at our base. ”

Belenko also flew the MiG-25 fighter plane, followed behind the American electronic reconnaissance plane, and closely monitored the flight of the other side, and from his side, it was possible to see more clearly that the other side was flying crookedly and would crash at any time.

Inside the EP-3 electronic reconnaissance plane, the Americans are still worried about their lives, they have broken into the airspace of the Soviets, will the Soviets shoot them down? You must know that the Soviets' sense of sovereignty is quite high, and they dare to shoot down even a lost civil airliner, let alone their real electronic reconnaissance plane.

And, what are the consequences of this? Will it lead to a world war?

Having flown over the land, you can see the dense woods, see the villages in the distance, their height has dropped to a thousand meters!

Where can I land? The navigation equipment inside the aircraft has been damaged, and the target can now only be detected by visual sight.

"Ahead, there's an airport ahead!" Atheus saw a straight runway in the distance and shouted at the pilot.

The front is indeed an airport! The pilot operated the plane, staggering past, and he knew that he only had this one chance! If you miss it, a go-around is almost impossible.

Drop down! The pilot pulled the operating disc and wanted to descend along the standard glide line, but alas, as soon as he moved, the plane was again on the verge of losing control and fell down like a big rock.

There was a scream in the cabin, eyes closed, and someone began to make a cross on the chest.

Only pilots, still trying.

The wheels have been put down, the plane is not aimed at the runway, the main landing gear has been in contact with the ground, the left one touched the ground first, then was bounced back, touched the ground again, slid dozens of meters, went down from the runway, slid to the grass next to it, the pilot pedaled the rudder with both feet, in the standard operation, the two rudders have become the brakes of the wheels, the fuselage continued to rush forward, almost before rushing into the woods next to it, finally stopped.

This is a landing of a lifetime!

"Stop, get off the plane!" The pilot said, unbuckling his seatbelt, and was about to run to the engine room behind.

"No, do it quickly, destroy the electronic equipment on the plane!" Escaping death, Atheus still remembered his duty.

There are so many secrets on this plane, and this is the most advanced electronic technology in the United States! Now that it is in the hands of the Soviets, the Soviets will definitely disassemble and study this plane.

Nothing can be left for the Soviets!

Unfortunately, as soon as Atheus's words fell, the shouts of the Soviets could already be heard outside: "Immediately lay down your weapons and get out of the plane!" ”
