The display screen of the TP-26-SH1 forward-looking infrared search / tracking system indicates that a clear target has appeared ahead, and from the narrow front of the cockpit, Andrei sees a point of light on the sea, which is the sunlight reflected from the cockpit canopy!

Finally caught up! Andrei retracted the throttle, cautiously followed from behind, and at the same time, reported on the radio: "Sokolovka, sea area No. 7, a target has been found, suspected to be fighter No. 031." ”

"No. 032, pursue immediately and identify the target!" Soon the voice of Koridub was heard in the headphones.

Sea No. 7 is already 200 nautical miles west of Hokkaido! Fighter No. 031, if it appeared there, Belenko's motives would be quite suspicious!

"032 call 031, 032 call 031." Andrei shouted over the radio that he hoped Belenko would hear him and then persuade him to return to the country, which was the best thing to do.

However, there was no sound in the headphones, and it seemed that as in history, Belenko, who was flying at an ultra-low altitude, turned off the radio, and with the narrow cockpit vision of the MiG-25, it was absolutely impossible to see Andrei following behind.

Pushing the throttle, Andrey from the rear, slowly approaching, twenty kilometers, fifteen kilometers, ten kilometers, five kilometers ...

The tall fighter with two engines and two tails was flying on the sea, Belenko felt his palms and began to sweat, as time went on, he got closer and closer to Hokkaido, and the moment when he successfully defected was getting closer and closer.

The free world of the West, here I come! Annie, I will be a hero of the Western world!

Belenko looked at the sea below, the blue sea, which seemed to be clearer than the Soviet coastline, and the thought of Anne made him even more impatient.

At this moment, a flying object appeared in the rear, slowly appearing from his left, could it be that the Americans had already discovered themselves and came to protect?

With this in mind, Belenko turned to the left, and saw the same steel eagle appearing in his retina, and the rectangular air intake was so eye-catching.

This is also a MiG-25 of the same model, and it is definitely not with yourself to join the Western world! When Belenko saw the No. 032 painted on the nose, he knew that it was his wingman Andrey.

"Belenko, Belenko!" Andrei shouted over the radio, and at the same time, reaching out and waving it from the cockpit, signaled Belenko to turn on the radio.

Belenko shook his head, what is Andrei going to do, persuade himself to return home? This kind of thing, since it has been done, there is no going back!

With the flip of the switch with his right hand, the two R-15 engines in the tail spewed out purple tail flames, turned on the afterburner MiG-25, and the fuselage shook violently and began to accelerate.

There is not much fuel in the plane, and Belenko has no choice, he must quickly enter the airspace of the island country, and he also needs to climb high, so that the island people can find out that he, the person who has surrendered to Chengcheng, can only use the air power of the island people to drive away Andre behind him.

This take-off was a test flight engine, and Belenko's wing was not mounted with R-40 missiles at all, so now he has no way to counteract, only speed!

If it were another aircraft, it might be possible to get rid of it, but for the MiG-25PD, which also flies the MiG-25 and has an improved engine, there is no pressure to catch up with him.

Finding that Belenko's fighter was accelerating, Andrei followed and turned on the afterburner, and the surging power came, and the No. 032 fighter soon followed the No. 031 in front.

As a wingman, it is more necessary to be familiar with every movement of the long plane, Andrei follows Belenko, and is more able to predict the opponent's movements in advance, and at the same time, the chrysanthemum in the tail is exposed to Andrei's field of vision, and the R-60 missile mounted under the wing is ready for launch.

If Andrei pressed the red button on the lever at this time, after a burst of missile tail flames had passed, the MiG-25 in front would have been exploded, but Andrei did not do this, he was still waiting.

After coming here, the first thing Andrei met was Belenko, who had a good impression on himself at that time, and besides, his wife and children were gone, this guy seemed to be a little miserable.

"Andrey, what are you going to do?" At this moment, Belenko's voice came from the headphones, this guy, finally connected to the radio!

"Belenko, return immediately, you have entered the air defense identification zone of the island state." Andrei said.

If Belenko returns now, he can explain to Kozhdub in the name of trek, which is also the only righteous way for Andrei.

"Andrei, I can't go back." Belenko said: "I am disgusted with the Soviet Union, I want to have a new life, Andrey, give me a chance." ”

"Belenko, treason is unforgivable!" Hearing Belenko's words, Andrei made up his mind instead, and his eyes became even more determined: "No matter what reason you have, don't be treasonous, go back with me!" ”

"No, Andrey, you don't know that when you were a child, you were instilled with the ideal of loving the country and loving the motherland, but when you grew up, you found that the reality is different from the education you received, our country is already rotten, the bureaucracy is corrupt, there is nepotism everywhere, upright people are not developed, and they will be slandered as mentally ill! By the way, the last time your fighter plane malfunctioned and almost killed you from the stall tailspin, do you know the real reason? It was caused by the negligence of Akeem, the nephew of the base commander Kozhidub, who is the captain in charge of maintaining your fighter! This country is hopeless, Andrey, why don't you follow me to the West, there is heaven, there is democracy and freedom! ”

Is it because of the maintenance of the ground crew? Andrei was stunned for a moment.

The two planes, still accelerating and climbing, could already be spotted by long-range warning radars in the rear far away on Sakhalin Island.

Just when he heard Belenko's words, which made Andrei hesitate, an order from the rear came from the earphones: "032, Captain Belenko has been characterized as treason, shoot him down immediately!" In the sky over Hokkaido ahead, two targets are rapidly approaching, with an altitude of 12,000 and a speed of Mach 13! ”

Belenko, qualitatively treason, shoot it down immediately! The rear apparently overheard the conversation on the radio.

Treason! Treason, for whatever reason, treason cannot be forgiven! Moreover, there are two targets flying ahead, which must be fighters from the island country, and once they are entangled, Andrey may not be able to complete the mission!

Personal feelings aside, Andrei's defection, which would bring great losses to the entire Soviet Union, must not happen!

Thinking of this, Andrei calmly replied on the radio: "032 understands! As he spoke, he pressed the missile launch button on the joystick.
