Chapter 156: Protecting the Fleet

The Americans felt good about themselves, as if they were in possession of victory, and that if they really clashed with the Soviets, they could outpower the Soviets far in terms of naval and air force. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Unfortunately, it is not the period of the eighties and nineties, the advanced F-15 fighters of the United States have not yet equipped their army in large quantities, and the main force of the Air Force is still dominated by the F-4, and this kind of fighter is actually half a pound and eight taels with the MiG-21 and MiG-23 of the Soviet Union. And the only advantage of the Navy's Tomcat fighter has not gained too many benefits in the last few battles, especially in the face of the Soviet Union's advanced MiG-25 fighters, the only advantage is the combination of AWG-9 and immortal birds!

When the order of the American side was given, it was already night on the island nation, and a large-scale air battle did not break out immediately. Both sides are accumulating strength and waiting for the next day's air battle.

The bad weather did not stop the exchange of fire between the two sides, and just after dawn, the fighters of the 13th Fighter Squadron took off quickly from the Misawa base.

After the last battle, the 14th Fighter Squadron was seriously injured and stayed at the base to repair, and did not participate in this air battle, however, the F-4 fighters of the 13th Fighter Squadron have been modified and upgraded, and can be equipped with the same AIM-7F and AIM-9J missiles, and the technical performance of the missiles has been greatly improved, so that this fighter has obvious advantages in air combat.

At the same time, as the main battle side, the Chitose base in Hokkaido, the fighters of the 201 and 203 flight teams all took off, Hokkaido is the territory of the island country, and now, the island country's Hokkaido has been shamefully invaded, and they must drive out the Soviets!

First seize air supremacy, and then a large number of ground attack fighters, you can beat the ground forces of the Soviets everywhere!

Meanwhile. In the direction of Sakhalin Island and Iturum Island, the Soviet Union also took off a large number of fighters, and when the AWACS planes discovered that the United States had taken off a large number of fighters, they immediately commanded their own fighters and flew over Hokkaido.

A fierce aerial confrontation began.

The first to fly was the MiG-41 of the 23 regiment. Entangled with the F-201 fighters of the 201st Flying Team that took off from the island country, from over-the-horizon air combat to close-range combat, the two heavy fighters left strips of white smoke in the sky, and some fighters were hit, dragging smoke down from the sky.

Strong electromagnetic interference filled the skies over Hokkaido, and both sides took off high-powered electronic jammers to interfere with each other's communications and radars.

Tu-126 AWACS aircraft flying over Sakhalin. They were trying to command the battle of the Soviet Air Defense Force and Air Force, but as the interference continued to intensify, more and more snowflakes appeared on the screen, and the early warning personnel were glued to the screen, and their expressions were highly nervous.

In addition to paying attention to the airspace of the warring parties, it is more important to prevent a sneak attack by the US Navy!

Yesterday all day. Fleets of transport planes in the sky have been transporting people and supplies to Kushiro Airport. At sea, the first fleet of ships transported the personnel and equipment of the 5th Tank Division and the 73rd Guards Motorized Rifle Division to Hokkaido, and then urgently transported the personnel and supplies of the second group.

This time, the 14th Guards Tank Division and the 3rd Guards Motorized Rifle Division, which were loaded directly from the port of Korsakov, as long as these troops were transported to Kushiro Port, the number of Soviet troops in Hokkaido would be as high as more than 40,000 people, enough to occupy the whole of Hokkaido!

There is no longer a need for strategic suddenness. After departing directly from the port of Korsakov, passing through the Sea of Okhotsk and passing through the Kunashir Waterway, Kushiro can be reached quickly.

There was still a cloud of fog floating on the sea, several destroyers and frigates of the Pacific Fleet in the port of Korsakov. I was closely guarding the merchant ship this time.

Will the Americans launch an attack on these ships? If the Americans dared to attack, it would cause great casualties to the Soviet troops! This means an escalation of the war!

However, no one will let their guard down, all the officers and men of the escort fleet are nervously looking at the sky, if they are spotted by fighters in the sky, they will be attacked from the air!

At the same time, in order to protect this fleet, the Soviet side also made a bloody investment, just behind the fleet, over Kunashl Island, two heavy interceptors, scanning the sky in the distance with powerful radar.

The same twin engines and double vertical tails, the same huge rectangular air intakes, the same majestic and majestic shape, if you look at them from a distance, these two fighters are very similar to the Soviet Eagle, MiG-25, but only when you get closer, you can see that these two planes are two-seaters, just behind the cockpit in front, there is also a cockpit, and the large cockpit with smooth lines in the United States is different, the cockpit behind is very narrow, and the glass opening is very small. At this time, the front end of the nose, on the flat antenna, is constantly radiating electromagnetic waves into the airspace.

These two fighters are the crystallization of Soviet aviation technology, the formidable MiG-31 interceptor!

The body was strengthened, and a certain proportion of titanium alloy was used to reduce the weight, from 25% to 8% of the MiG-16, and two Tumansky R-15 turbojet engines were replaced by two Soloviev D-30 turbofan engines with an afterburner thrust of 14,886 kg, the advantage of the turbofan engine was low fuel consumption! The aircraft has a range of 3,000 kilometers with drop fuel tanks, four R-33 missiles, and a cruise at Mach 0.8! It's almost up to the standard of a bomber.

Although the high-altitude and high-speed characteristics of the turbofan engine are not as good as those of the turbojet, resulting in a decrease in the top speed of the MiG-31 compared to the MiG-25, such a choice is worth it. In addition, the MiG-31 has increased maneuverability and allows flying at supersonic speeds at low altitudes.

In addition to these, the biggest change in the MiG-31 is in the weapon system. The shortcomings of the Soviet Union in electronic technology have led to the difficulty of the flat slit radar has not been able to be overcome, even to the Su-27, it is still using the backward inverted card antenna, so the Soviets simply found another way and directly installed the passive phased array radar on this interceptor!

At this time, the radar operator in the rear cabin was fiddling with the radar equipment in front of him in his seat, protecting his own transport formation.

"Three teams, three groups of attention, 090 direction, four targets, five hundred in height, one point two in speed, go to intercept." Later, the radar operator gave the order over the radio. (To be continued.) )
