Chapter 122: Flying to Moscow
"It was reported that an unidentified aircraft was spotted and was approaching Sakhalin. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info"Eventually, the report was uploaded to the commander of the Far Eastern Military District of the USSR, Colonel-General Ivan Tretyanko, who was woken up from his dream and received this news from his secretary.
Unidentified planes, close to Sakhalin? Admiral Trecyanko immediately ordered: "Take off two fighters and intercept them at once!" ”
Sakhalin, one of the most important strategic missile launch sites of the Soviet Union, is now flying by unidentified aircraft, does this mean that it is a precursor to a large-scale US invasion?
You know, if there is a world war, then the first target of the attack is the enemy's nuclear weapons launch base!
Now, an unknown plane is coming, so it is natural to intercept it immediately.
At the same time, Colonel-General Tretyanko immediately left for the command, and at this time, he needed to make a personal decision, and the burden on his shoulders was heavy.
For the Soviet Union, the western border between Eastern Europe and Western Europe has always been their focus, if there is a war between the United States and the Soviet Union, the West is the most important battlefield, here, the Soviet Union has deployed a powerful air force and army, if it really goes to war, the rolling armor torrent will advance all the way to the English Channel, liberate those people who are exploited under the capitalist system.
And on the Eastern Front, although not as important as the Western Front, it is also very strategically valuable, because they are only separated from the United States by the Bering Sea!
From the missile positions here, it only takes less than 10,000 kilometers to fly to attack the mainland of the United States!
After receiving the order, the combat-ready planes on duty at the Eagle military airfield of the 40th Group Army of the Air Force of the Far Eastern Military District immediately began to take off.
Under the guidance of the runway lights, Soviet Major Pilot Asipovich operated his plane and aimed it at the center line of the runway, and he piloted the excellent Soviet interceptor: Su-15.
Su-15 is a single-seat twin-engine all-weather interceptor designed by the Soviet Hoy Design Bureau, using a composite delta wing, the overall layout of air intake on both sides of the pointed nose, because of this design, it is also jokingly called a "thin mouth bottle" by NATO, but this aerodynamic layout from the Moscow Central Fluid Institute, taking into account the needs of low-speed and high-speed flight, and at the same time two speed brakes are installed on both sides of the fuselage in front of the horizontal tail for air and ground deceleration. The thrust-to-weight ratio of the aircraft is large, the wing load is relatively small, and it has good flight and maneuvering performance.
This kind of interceptor is the trump card weapon of the Soviet Union, with a large combat radius, good climbing performance, and an all-weather interceptor with a speed of up to M2.5, because of its advanced performance, it has never been exported, and in the Soviet Air Defense Forces, the largest amount of equipment once reached 800 aircraft.
However, up to now, this interceptor has been very backward, the most backward is the avionics equipment, therefore, in the later stage there was a large-scale transformation.
(On the whole, it is somewhat similar to my country's J-82, which is also what some military experts talk about, but the two actually have little to do with each other.) )
Now, it's half past two in the morning.
Above the dashboard in front, on some round gauges, flashing dim light, for Acepovich to carry out a night flight mission, for the first time, he looked at the flashbang in the sky, released the brakes, and began to accelerate on the runway.
Two P-11Ф2-300 engines in the tail gave out powerful thrust, and the Su-15 fighter slid quickly on the runway.
Accelerating to a distance of eight hundred meters, the wing gained enough lift, and Asipovich pulled back the operating stick, and the pointed nose cut through the darkness of the night sky, leaving only two tails of flames.
Behind him, the wingman also took off.
After takeoff, the Su-15 flies directly to the azimuth provided by the long-range radar, and at night it flies, completely dependent on the instruments.
"Note that the other side took off two fighter planes and was flying towards the No. 3 airspace, and immediately broke away to the south." At this time, the E-3 AWACS aircraft spotted two fighters that had taken off from the Soviet Union, and they must have come to intercept this special plane of their own.
The intrusion was very useful, and in the past few hours, although the invading airliners risked great danger, they succeeded in detecting the electronic signals of various parts of the Sakhalin area, thus deducing the distribution of command of the opposing side and, at the same time, testing the reaction time of their air defense forces.
Now, it's time to stop.
Hearing the news from the AWACS plane, Chen Bingyong felt relieved for a while, the invasion of the opponent's airspace was finally over, and he flew southward and would soon fly out of the airspace of the Soviets.
At this time, the radar operator on the AWACS aircraft suddenly discovered that the two fighters that took off from the USSR were very fast, and soon exceeded the speed of sound and continued to accelerate!
Could it be the MiG-25? Damn, in the previous intelligence, there were no such fast interceptors of the USSR here!
"Attention, enemy planes are flying fast, please speed up and get out of it immediately, speed up and get out of it immediately!" The radar director of the AWACS shouted.
The main combat mission of the interceptor is to intercept invading enemy bombers, reconnaissance planes, or cruise missiles from the air to defend important towns, strategic points, and transportation hubs from air raids.
In order to quickly intercept, the Su-15 will naturally turn on the afterburner and make a rapid sprint at high altitude, although it is not as good as the MiG-25, it has already surpassed the Soviet MiG-21 and MiG-23 series aircraft.
At the same time, two EF-111 electronic jammers, which had already taken off from the US air base in Japan, were also arriving at full speed to prepare for the cover of the Boeing 747 aircraft.
When the variable swept wing technology dominates the world's aviation community, all countries are actively developing variable swept wing fighters, among them, the most successful is the F-14 fighter, the use of computer-controlled variable swept wing, and the Soviet Union's MiG-23, it has become a four, which does not reflect the advantages of the variable swept wing, but also increases the weight, the same, there is F-111, the world's first practical variable swept wing fighter, originally a fighter-bomber, but due to the overweight structure, Without any air combat capabilities, it became a pure bomber.
However, the large load capacity of this bomber and, thanks to the ability to sprint quickly provided by the variable sweep wing, made this fighter a successful electronic warfare aircraft.
This kind of electronic warfare aircraft is fast, reaching Mach 2.2 at high altitudes, and can maintain a complete combat formation with the tactical aircraft it covers in the mission of surprise protection, has a long range, and can fly more than 3,200 kilometers without refueling in the air. Missions such as long-range jamming, surprise protection, and close-range air support. (To be continued.) )
