Chapter 108: Mixed Feelings
ps. Present the May Day update, don't hurry up to play after reading it, remember to vote for the month first. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info from now on - point 515 fan festival to enjoy double monthly passes, other activities have red envelopes can also take a look!
"Twenty-four, they have climbed to twenty-four!" The radar officer in the aft compartment almost smashed his fist on the monitor, damn it, these hateful Soviets!
The Tomcat fighter, as the most powerful carrier-based aircraft of the US Navy, its original task is to build an air defense circle at a distance of 500 kilometers from the aircraft carrier, but now, it can only watch the other side fly towards it, helpless!
If it is another aircraft, you can still intercept it, fight with each other, bite each other's tails, and make the other party afraid, with the excellent performance of the Tomcat fighter, George fully believes that he can gain the upper hand!
But what about now? You can only watch!
Soon, the radar operator in the back reported that the target was missing.
This is not because the other party flew away, but because as the two sides continue to approach, the altitude difference increases, resulting in the radar antenna has reached the highest elevation angle! Although the radar antenna is the most advanced flat slot antenna, after all, it is also a mechanical antenna, which needs to be rotated to be able to change the beam direction, and now, it has reached the highest elevation angle!
George raised his head, only to see three shining points of light in the sky from a distance, almost in a flash.
"Boxer, boxer, get ready to go home." The order of the aircraft carrier came from the headset.
Intercept? In the face of the high-altitude and high-speed MiG-25, the Tomcat fighter ate a nose of dust, and now, even if the aircraft carrier catapults more fighters, it is simply powerless to change the status quo, so it can only let the other party fly!
Fortunately, although the MiG-25 has a combat interception type and a reconnaissance-bombing type, it is impossible to carry high-power anti-ship missiles without an anti-ship type, and besides, with the size of the anti-ship missile, it cannot be mounted on the MiG-25, and only bombers can carry anti-ship missiles at this time.
"Boxer received." George shouted over the radio, he took off his oxygen mask, pushed the lever, and the wing brushed the ground to adjust the sweep angle to a minimum, and with a graceful arc, a small turning radius, it turned around.
Return! Go around the aircraft carrier formation for half a circle, and at the same time go around exactly the rear of the aircraft carrier, and then land!
"Ulla!" High in the air, the roar of the engine was constantly coming, and a shout of the pilot of the reconnaissance plane was still heard in the headphones, which was amazing!
Although the reconnaissance MiG-25 did not carry radar, it was still possible to get information from the two MiG-25PD planes that accompanied the flight, the radio was the same channel, and the American fighter plane was discovered, and even the other party was locked, and the pilot of the reconnaissance plane also felt nervous, after all, although he knew in his heart that it was safe, it was not fun to be locked by radar, and now, the American plane was left far behind, and the other party was eaten by a nose of ash!
This steel fighter of the Soviets, it is amazing!
Andre also has a sense of pride in his heart, this feeling of being looked up to by the mountains of the Americans is quite good!
At this time, the altitude has risen to 30,000, the speed has also reached Mach 2.8, and the front and bottom of the three fighters are already the aircraft carrier formation of the Americans!
The warships of the aircraft carrier formation had their anti-aircraft radars fully turned on, and countless radar waves were scanning the sky.
The planes of the Soviets, which are conducting reconnaissance above their heads, can be said that the other side has broken through their own air defense circle! If it is in a war, those MiGs will be able to pounce down from a high altitude at any time!
Although the MiG-25 can only throw ordinary bombs, if it dives down, the accuracy is still very high, especially at high altitudes, even if it is a small bomb, the speed will make the bomb have a fairly high energy, if it is a nuclear bomb again......
Directly ahead of the formation, the CG-11 "Chicago" heavy cruiser.
This is a heavy cruiser with a standard displacement of 14,500 tons and a full load displacement of 17,000 tons, which belongs to the Baltimore class, which was originally a heavy cruiser built by the US Navy in World War II, but unfortunately, it was not until April 1943 that the first Baltimore entered service. A total of fourteen ships were built before and after, due to the large hull and sufficient firepower, the air defense capability was second only to the fast battleships, and after entering service, it was mainly used for the escort of the fast aircraft carrier fleet.
And this Chicago, which belonged to the last Baltimore-class cruiser, laid the keel on July 28, 1943, launched on August 20, 1944, and commissioned on January 10, 1945.
The naval battles of World War II confirmed that the battleships had come to an end, the era of naval artillery bombardment was over, and the future naval battles belonged to aircraft carriers, so the Chicago was converted into a missile cruiser between June 59 and May 64, and the port number was changed to CG-11.
The two triple 55x203mm guns on the front deck were all removed and equipped with a brass knight system, which became the main force of long-range air defense in the aircraft carrier formation.
The shape of this heavy cruiser still maintains the characteristics of the World War II era, the tall straight chimney, and the same elliptical and cylindrical bridge, all with the heavy characteristics of World War II. It's just that the deck space in front has been occupied by the brass knight system.
Two huge missiles and launchers stand at the position of the first naval gun, and the position of the second naval gun is occupied by various radars, and there are also radar antennas on the mast. From the front, it also feels like a missile cruiser, especially now, two huge missiles 11 meters long are looking up at the sky, ready to fly at any time.
"Damn, this kind of plane can fly to an altitude of 30,000 meters!" On the bridge, Lieutenant Commander Johnson, the captain of the cruiser USS Chicago, couldn't help but say with annoyance.
30,000 meters! Even the latest standard missile being developed by the military is only 24,000 meters high, but the other side can fly to 30,000 meters! In the arsenal of the Navy, there is not a single weapon that can be used against it!
At present, the Brass Knight missile system on its own warship is already the main force of the US Navy's regional air defense, and it is helpless in the face of the three-speed sound aircraft flying by the Soviets.
The Americans were in a very unhappy mood, but at this time, the three pilots flying high in the air were in a happy mood.
MiG-25, the most advanced aircraft of the USSR, the Americans simply did not have any means to shoot down! Altitude and speed are the magic weapons!
At this time, it has already flown above the aircraft carrier formation of the Americans, and the camera of the MiG-25R reconnaissance plane in front has been activated, constantly and automatically taking pictures one after another.
"027, I have an idea." High in the air, breathing in the oxygen sent from his helmet, Andrei suddenly broke the radio silence.
