Chapter 20: Locking E-2
Climbing, diving, turning sideways, rolling... The combination of various actions is even more dazzling, it is like performing aerobatics, but unfortunately, Warrant Officer Yamada in the cockpit at this time is not at peace.
No matter what he does, he just can't get rid of the fighter behind him, so there is only one conclusion, the other party's mobility is stronger than his own! The other party's flight skills are also far superior to their own! Now it's just a confrontation between the two sides, and if it really starts, he will have been hit by the missiles launched from behind!
Warrant Officer Yamada felt that the sweat on his back had soaked the entire flight suit, and the weapon operation officer in the rear cabin had already begun to vomit, but he still couldn't get rid of the other party!
What to do? What to do? The sweat on Warrant Officer Yamada's forehead was already dripping down drop by drop, and he felt a blur in his vision, and the continuous large overload maneuvers made his physical exertion also great, and he was already about to collapse.
The dwarves of the island country are far from being physically fit for polar bears, and Andre has always held the initiative, although the wingman behind him tried to sneak up on him, but he didn't find any chance.
The opponent panicked and flew in the direction of the sky over Hokkaido, and Andre felt that today's martial arts were exceptionally smooth.
I don't blame the other party, when the F-4 was originally designed, it was also the idea of high altitude and high speed, and there was even a missile winning theory at that time, believing that the future air combat was all solved by air-to-air missiles, and the fighter was actually just a missile carrying platform, and the F-4 at that time even canceled the machine gun. Unfortunately, the Vietnam War ruthlessly shattered this conclusion, and the Sparrow missile's near-zero hit rate made the F-4 fighters with poor combat capabilities very helpless.
Although the MiG-25 is also high-altitude and high-speed, after all, it already has a prototype of a third-generation aircraft, and the composition of twin engines and double vertical tails makes its maneuverability not as bad as some people say. It may be a little difficult to encounter the F-15, but in the face of the second-generation aircraft like the F-4, it will be completely sadistic, even including fighting!
"032, 032, return immediately! The target plane flies towards your airspace, repeat, twenty target planes that attempt to cross the border, fly towards your airspace! ”
It was already close to the sky over Hokkaido, and the Americans attached great importance to it, and even more so to protect their own E-2 early warning aircraft, all the fighters of the Kraken squadron urgently turned back.
Originally, even if the 513th Regiment had completed the interception mission, and the Americans were the first to retreat, it could be regarded as maintaining its own national dignity, and after receiving the guidance of the CGI, it turned back and disengaged from the Americans.
And at this moment, the ground CGI found that one of the returning fighters was missing, and the fighter number 032 did not return! Continuing to mobilize the long-range early warning radar, it was discovered that the plane actually flew over Hokkaido! And those American planes, turning back, were actually going to intercept their own 032 fighters that invaded the mainland of the island country!
A confrontation over the Sea of Japan is definitely different from going to an island nation! Andrey, this stunned young guy! In the Sokolovka base, Kozhdub was quite anxious, if he was shot down by the other side in the airspace of the island country, it would also be his own responsibility, and he, the commander of the base, would definitely not be able to keep his position.
This Andrey, when he came to the army before, has always been quiet and has never looked for trouble, what has happened recently? Cursing inwardly, Kozhdub ordered him to return immediately.
Twenty target planes, all of them came to fight against themselves? Andre was stunned for a moment, what is going on? He glanced down, and the rippling waters were gone, and only the lush trees were visible.
It's not good, it seems that I flew into the airspace of the island country! Andrei immediately shouted on the radio: "Received, return immediately!" ”
"032, 032, return immediately!" In the headphones, there was still the voice of Kori Dub's throat, and Andrei suddenly understood that his radio could not transmit such a long distance!
The current fighters have not yet used the data link of satellite communication, and can only be transmitted by radio, and there is an integrated air defense network in the country, which can transmit information, and at sea, unless it is an electronic warfare aircraft accompanied by communication and relay, otherwise, the radio power of the fighter is limited, and if it sails too far, it will lose radio contact in the rear.
It's time to go home! Andre looked at the fuel gauge, the fight just now consumed another half a ton of fuel, and now he has to save it, otherwise he can't go back to the base.
However, just because they crossed the border, those American planes came to chase them? Twenty crosses, that seems like a lot? Andrei broke away from the tail chase attack and began to accelerate to climb high, and at the same time, using the Sapphire-25 radar, he scanned the airspace in front of him, and suddenly found a suspicious target.
The height is nine thousand, the speed is six hundred!
What is the goal? Andrei suddenly had a stirring in his mind, could it be the E-2 AWACS aircraft?
This is the main early warning aircraft of the United States, the advanced E-3 early warning aircraft of the later generation, which is still in the test flight stage, and although the E-2 is a carrier-based early warning aircraft, it is also widely used by land air bases.
I accidentally found a fat goose, no wonder the Americans are in a hurry! Andre suddenly had a new plan in his heart.
Catch up and scare the Yankees!
Originally, this E-2 was supposed to retreat south to Honshu, but the F-4 sent over to intercept it was driven to fly all the way, so this E-2 could only fly eastward, and the E-2 had a big plate on its back, and the slow speed was not fast at all, just like that, it was actually caught up!
Thinking of the fact that this early warning aircraft on our side, which did not have any combat capability, was actually remembered by the MiG-25, several crew members were very scared, and the radar operator stared nervously at the screen and said: "Damn, the Russians flew over!" ”
A sharp siren sounded inside the cabin, it was the sound of being locked! Damn, that MiG-25, is it really going to shoot down your own side?
"Lower the height, lower the height!" The war officer shouted loudly, and he remembered that the Soviets' radar performance was very poor, and they did not have the ability to look down and shoot down, as long as they ran to a low altitude, they could use the ground radar echo to evade the opponent's lock.
The pilot in front pushed the lever, and the E-2 slowly dived downward, and the tip of the propeller whistled, which made people even more nervous.
The sound of being locked is still ongoing!
