How much fuel is consumed, is not Andrey's concern, in the basic data, the MiG-25's supersonic interception combat radius is definitely more than 500 kilometers, and the later MiG-31 has reached more than 700 kilometers, and now it is only 200 kilometers for supersonic volleys, and when they reach the predetermined target under the guidance of CGI, two MiG-25s begin to descend in altitude.

A transport plane-like plane flew over the waters of the Sea of Japan near the Soviet Union.

Four propeller engines, constantly rotating, the fuselage is covered with various antennas, and under the belly, there is a bulging thing, like a woman's big belly, it flies at an altitude of eight thousand meters.

"Attention, the front is close to Soviet airspace, increase vigilance." In the cockpit, U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Atheus said: "The systems are turned on, the signals are collected, and we will evacuate immediately." ”

With his command, all kinds of electronic equipment have entered the working state, and various signals radiated from the distant shore continue to pass through the antenna and enter the equipment for preliminary collection and separation.

"Detection of airborne radar waves, single pulse." An electronic officer said: "Very powerful, Whirlwind A radar!" The MiG-25 of the Soviets is coming! ”

The United States attaches great importance to electronic intelligence, and after the successful development of the Soviets' MiG-25, the United States began to study the signal characteristics of the Soviets' fighters, including the airborne radar, which has been well known to the United States, especially the current aircraft, which is a special electronic warfare aircraft. Whirlwind A!

Here came the MiG-25 of the Soviets! Suddenly, the people on the plane were a little worried.

MiG-25! But the best interceptor of the Soviets, it is said that it can fly up to Mach 3! Until now, U.S. intelligence agencies have been studying the secrets of this fighter jet.

"Don't be afraid, we are flying on the high seas now, and we have not entered the airspace of the Soviet Union, they can't do anything to us." "We continued our mission, and after this mission, we had a month's vacation to go to Hawaii," Atheus said. ”

During the Cold War, contacts between the two sides were very frequent, and this was a mission, even if the MiG-25 of the Soviets came? At most, they will fly up and down, lock their own planes with radar, scare and scare, and never dare to really launch missiles, but now it is a cold war! If you are not careful, you will go off the rails and you will trigger World War III!

Atheus is very confident, I don't know how many times this kind of thing has happened, what are you afraid of!

They have an important mission, and more than a hundred kilometers to the west is Vladivostok, the most important military port in the Soviet Far East! In order to prevent electronic interception by the United States, the Soviets often changed the frequency of their electronic systems, and the American response was to constantly collect new electronic signals!

It's just a routine task.

"They're out!" At this moment, the pilot shouted.

In the sky, two MiGs suddenly swooped down from a high altitude, almost facing this plane, passing from above, and in a flash, the red five-pointed star on the tail of the plane was so dazzling.

At the same time, the moment he swept by, Andrei also saw the plane from his field of vision, and his eyes suddenly turned abrupt.

EP-3 for the Americans!

The P-3 maritime patrol aircraft, nicknamed Orion, is a four-engine turboprop multipurpose maritime patrol aircraft developed by Lockheed for the U.S. Navy in the late fifties by improving the L-188 Electra regional airliner. This patrol aircraft has a payload of 26 tons, a wide fuselage, a large number of electronic equipment inside the fuselage, ten weapon hardpoints under the wings, and eight internal bomb bays under the belly, which can carry AGM-65 air-to-surface missiles, AGM-84 anti-ship missiles, MK-46/50 torpedoes and MU-90 torpedoes, as well as depth charges, mines, etc.

After the development of this aircraft, it was used by the United States to carry out reconnaissance, anti-submarine, anti-surface, surveillance and patrol and other maritime missions. The Americans have used this aircraft to reconnoiter sensitive areas such as coastlines and exclusive economic zones of many other countries. On the basis of this patrol plane, it has become a professional electronic reconnaissance aircraft and a battlefield vanguard of the Americans by installing the ALQ-110 signal collection system, the ALD-8 radio direction finder, the ALR-52 automatic frequency measurement receiver, and the ALR-60 multi-channel radio communication recording device.

In 1969, the first EP-3 joined the service of the 1st Squadron of the US Air Reconnaissance, and in 1974, it completely replaced the EC-121 "Super Constellation" electronic warfare aircraft and became a professional electronic reconnaissance aircraft of the United States.

Now, what Andrei and Belenko want to intercept is this American electronic reconnaissance plane!

With no equipment under the belly, this plane is just an unarmed reconnaissance plane! It seems harmless to humans and animals, but by collecting electronic information, it will have a serious impact on the defense and security of the Soviet Union.

Although it was still on the high seas, it was already too close for the USSR and had to be expelled!

"032, watch out." Belenko's voice came from the headphones: "I'll expel it!" ”

After flying over the EP-3, the two fighters drew an arc in the air and flew back over. Seeing that the Ep-3 was not scared and was still flying there with a swagger, the long plane Belenko immediately said.

"032 Roger." Andrei replied, retracting his thoughts, and Andrei pulled up the height, following behind.

Belenko's MiG-25 flew towards the EP-3.

"Damn the Russians, what are they going to do?" The American pilot stabilized the plane, just now, the MiG-25 flew from behind, the huge air flow disturbed the electronic reconnaissance plane, when the MiG-25 appeared overhead, he subconsciously pushed the control stick, almost made a fighter roll sideways, if that case, this EP-3 is afraid to disintegrate.

The pilot gasped and cursed.

"Don't be afraid, they don't dare to come for real." "We'll fly for another three minutes, and we'll have all the electronic data collected," Atheus said. ”

"Damn it!" The pilot stabilized the plane, watched the MiG-25 in front of him, and made a maneuver with a high overload, as if he was braking sharply on the highway, and almost caused the EP-3 to crash into it.

Who said that the MiG-25 took care of high-altitude performance, which led to poor low-altitude maneuverability? The heavy interceptor in front of me is almost catching up with the lightness of the F-16.

"Leave him alone, let's keep flying." Atheus was very open-minded.

Now the mobility is of course good! The supersonic cruise just now, which consumed several tons of fuel, was originally quite large in terms of thrust, and the dead weight was reduced again, which was quite flexible, as for the structural strength, the fighter made of stainless steel, is the structural strength still afraid of being poor?

Belenko made a variety of moves, but he couldn't drive this EP-3, and the Americans seemed to have a tendon in their brains, aren't they really afraid to knock them down themselves? Climbing, leaving this EP-3, Belenko still thought depressedly in his heart.

"031,032 Request for Eviction." Andrey's words rang out in the headphones.

"Yes." Belenko agreed.
