Chapter 286: Trembling under Soviet Fighters
It's useless to turn off the radar! Because this time it was a semi-active radar-guided air-to-air missile that launched the attack! In the final stage, the phased array radar concentrates all the radar beams on the target aircraft, allowing the R-33 to enter the final attack!
Quick, intercept, intercept these incoming missiles! The pilots of the two F-4 fighters were very anxious, of course they knew what the target to be protected behind them meant, which was the most advanced AWACS aircraft of the US Air Force, and the cost was so high that even when Congress approved it, they gritted their teeth and approved it.

Now, if the Soviets kill this AWACS aircraft again, then the air battle in Hokkaido will really be impossible to fight! It is dangerous for one's own AWACS aircraft to fly over Honshu, so how can they command fighters? Without the guidance of AWACS, the performance of one's own fighters is not dominant, and the final outcome will definitely be failure!
They wanted to use their own carrier radar to lock on to the missiles flying in front of them, and then attack head-on with Sparrow missiles, but unfortunately, the incoming missiles flew too fast! The flight speed of more than Mach 3 has exceeded the processing capacity of the fire control system of the carrier aircraft, so they can only quickly transfer the fire control to the short-range Sidewinder missile, hoping to rely on this missile to intercept the opponent's missile.
In the flight of Mach 3, the head of the missile rubs against the air, and the temperature will reach several hundred degrees, such a high temperature will give the Sidewinder missile a good guide!
The Sidewinder missile, dragging the tongue of fire, flew out of the launch frame and flew towards the missile in front.
The distance between the two sides became closer and closer, and finally, with a "boom", the proximity fuse of the Sidewinder missile was triggered, and countless broken warheads blocked the airspace from which the opponent's missile flew tightly.
Damn it! The American pilot watched visually, and the missile flew over from the explosion of the Sidewinder without any damage, and it continued to move forward! Damn, what kind of missile is this, the warhead of the Sidewinder, all without damage to it?
Three kilometers away, he didn't see it very clearly, in fact, if the Sidewinder could really explode in the direction where the other party was flying, it would still be able to intercept it, but the electronic system of the Sidewinder missile had a delay, and when the target distance was calculated appropriately and the proximity fuse detonated the warhead, it was already too late, and the missile had already passed by the Sidewinder!
It is quite difficult to attack flying targets above Mach 3, the speed is too fast! It's so fast that the electronic devices in the United States can't react synchronously!
There must be no threat to your own AWACS aircraft! Seeing that the missile was still flying, the pilot was ruthless, pushed the control stick, and flew in the direction where the missile was flying.
"Are Americans crazy?" Inside the MiG-31 interceptor, the radar operator muttered, looking at the radar echo, he knew that the Americans launched a missile, and without hitting their own missile, they actually collided!
Ramming tactics, this is the style of the Soviets, and are the Americans so brave now?
It was too late to operate, and the pale green light spot on the screen quickly disappeared, and the radar operator knew that it was his own missile that shot down one of the opponent's escort fighters, and both sides disappeared.
The other escort fighter did not have time to react, or the brave were still in the minority, so that the remaining two missiles finally caught up with the target!
"Boom!" The 47-kilogram warhead exploded, and in the violent explosion, countless fragments flew sideways, and half of the wing of the E-3 AWACS aircraft was knocked off in an instant.
There was a big plate on the top, and the air performance was not good, but now, the wing on one side was broken, which directly made the E-3 AWACS aircraft roll and fall down.
At this time, a second missile followed, sending the E-3 AWACS into a volley.
"The target is gone!" said the radar operator.
"Homecoming!" After coming out like this, Andre knew that his goal had been achieved, and now, most of the fuel had been consumed, and it was time to return!
After making a big circle in the air, and when he returned, he was already over the Pacific Ocean, and Andrei operated the MiG-31, and continued to fly for a few minutes, when he met a four-plane formation of MiG-25 planes that came to greet him.
As the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Union's Hokkaido side, Andrei's safety was very important, and when he found that Andrei finally couldn't hide his desire to fight and flew the MiG-31 to the sky over Honshu Island, the rear hurriedly mobilized four MiG-25 fighters to follow Andrey's footsteps and go to escort the ship.
At this time, the battle over Hokkaido was also over, and the 171st Regiment paid the price of two downed fighters, shot down eight fighters with plaster flags, and the rest of the fighters withdrew from the battle.
Without the F-15 and without the support of the US Air Force, the islanders in Hokkaido were passive.
And just after this E-3 was shot down, the US Air Force on the state fell into great fear.
Until now, the US Air Force did not have any means to attack the MiG-25 fighters of the Soviets! One can only watch the MiG-25 of the Soviets wreak havoc at high altitudes! And the MiG-25 of the Soviets actually had the ability to attack at a distance of one hundred and fifty kilometers! They must have improved the new radar and modified more advanced missiles!
Throughout the seventies, the West trembled under the MiG-25 fighter! And now, the amazing combat capabilities of the MiG-31 make the West even more afraid!
Now, even if more F-4 fighters are sent to Hokkaido, it will not be possible to regain the initiative!
On this day, for the Americans, it was the most difficult, they thought that not only Hokkaido now, but also in the whole of Europe, if the Soviets started a war, on the vast plains of Western Europe, the Soviets' tank clusters advanced rapidly, and they still had no way to take them!
"The only thing that can stop the Soviets is the nuclear bomb!" Shigeo Kuma stood anxiously inside the headquarters of the Yokota base and said to the commander of the American army in front of him, "Please help us resist the Soviets!" ”
Nuclear bomb! The island nation has been attacked by two nuclear bombs, and it was those two nuclear bombs that directly led to the island's decision to surrender unconditionally. And now, the island nation is facing the threat of the Soviets, and seeing that the whole of Hokkaido is about to be taken away by the Soviets, even if it is to release a nuclear bomb on its own territory again, the island country does not care!
Nuclear bomb? Hearing Shigeo Kuma's words, Lieutenant General Paul stared at him with a sharp gaze: "As the supreme officer of the Defense Agency of the island nation, please be sensible!" Now, we need to do a good job in the defense of Honshu, and we must not allow the Soviets to cross the Tsugaru Strait and land on Honshu! ”
Nuclear deterrence will always be nuclear deterrence! The United States, the Soviet Union, are well aware of this truth, and if a nuclear war really breaks out, it will not do the United States any good! (To be continued.) )
