Chapter 18: Go back in style

Andrei piloted the MiG-25PD fighter and quickly flew over the center line of the Sea of Japan from a high altitude, and the 13th Fighter Squadron did not even have time to react when it spotted the Soviet plane and actually flew over its own interception line!

If in war, this is simply an unforgivable negligence, you know, flying over your own interception line means causing huge losses to the rear, and if it is an aircraft carrying a nuclear bomb, it is simply fatal!

And now, the two sides are just confronting each other, mentally oppressing each other, and the Americans did not expect that the Soviet planes actually flew over from a high altitude!

At an altitude of nearly 30,000 meters, even if they look up, it is difficult for them to find the aircraft that has entered the stratosphere, and the speed of the other party is quite fast, and the AN/APQ-120 radar of the F-4 fighter does not have the ability to track and scan at the same time, not to mention that it is now using a single pulse lock signal, and there is no search ability for the surrounding airspace at all.

In this way, the MiG-25 dashingly crossed the interception line of the F-4 fighter and flew in the direction of the Japanese mainland opposite, directly ahead of his course, which was Hokkaido.

After continuous afterburner flight, the fuel in the body of the MiG-25 is also consuming at an alarming rate, and the sixteen tons of fuel filled before take-off have now consumed more than eight tons, and with the reduction of fuel, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the MiG-25 fighter is also increasing, making the operation of this fighter more flexible.

"Damn, he's coming for us, what is this crazy Ivan going to do?" Inside the E-2 AWACS aircraft, the radar operator couldn't help but say as he looked at the guy on the radar screen who was flying quickly at Mach 2.6.

"Qingteng Squad, Qingteng Squad, in the direction of nine o'clock, intercept immediately! Kraken Squadron, Hurry Back! The CICO called.

"Ivy Squad received." The two F-4 fighters accompanying the E-2, the fighters with red plaster on both sides of the air intake and wings, immediately turned sideways and pounced in the direction of nine o'clock.

After the United States occupied the island country, for some purposes, it began to support the island country to have armed forces, although it could not have an army, but it had a disguised self-defense force, which was more perverted and more powerful, and moreover, the army of the island country was almost under the command of the US military, and the ties between it and the US military were close, and this provocation was carried out by two F-4s of the Air Self-Defense Force to escort the E-2.

The captain of the Qingteng team, Warrant Officer Yamada, while operating the fighter to accelerate, ordered the radar operator behind him to turn on the radar. The Air Self-Defense Force's fighter is a little lower in model than the United States' own use, and the AN/APQ-72 airborne interception radar at the front end of the nose is still the most backward parabolic antenna, and many internal circuits are a combination of electron tubes.

And the MiG-25 in the air is still speeding like a sharp sword.

In the Cold War, although the two sides were engaged in a silent confrontation, in order to avoid a nuclear war, both sides adhered to certain principles, for example, the previous 513 Regiment never crossed the median line of the Sea of Japan.

And now, Andrey's MiG-25 has not only crossed the median line of the Sea of Japan, but has also gone straight to Hokkaido! The distance, there are only 200 kilometers left!

The fighter plane was flying at high altitude, and Andrei had already thought of countermeasures, and when he went back, he said that the navigation system was malfunctioning, and he was looking in the wrong direction! Anyway, let's have fun now!

At this time, Andrei just wanted to go around the airspace of the island country in a dashing manner, he did not know that there was an E-2 early warning plane in the sky over Hokkaido, and he did not know that the other party had panicked and mobilized all the fighters to surround and intercept him, thinking that he had a special mission.

The MiG-25 does not have advanced electronic equipment, so it is impossible to detect the source of strong electromagnetic radiation, and the target at a distance of 200 kilometers also exceeds the limit search range of the Sapphire-25 radar.

On the radar screen, two bright spots appeared, with a height of 15,000 and a speed of Mach 1.2!

Is it here to intercept yourself? Andrei turned off the afterburner, and when the MiG-25 made a high-speed sprint, the maneuverability would become quite bad, although just by virtue of high altitude and high speed, he could ignore the existence of the other party, but now, it was time to show the Soviet force, and he naturally had to play tricks on the plane in front of him.

First of all, of course, lock each other! The switch on Andrey's operation panel, the inverted card antenna of the Sapphire-25 radar, released a continuous wave signal in the I-band, which hit the long plane in front.

With a sharp locked warning signal coming from the headset, Warrant Officer Yamada suddenly panicked, at this time, his AN/APQ-72 radar had just completed warm-up, and there was no obvious echo signal on the radar screen.

"The distance is eighty kilometers, the direction is twelve o'clock, the speed is 1.8, the height is twenty-two thousand, and the other party is slowing down." The early warning signal of the E-2 AWACS aircraft came from the headset.

Eighty kilometers! The Soviets actually locked themselves at a distance of eighty kilometers! Warrant Officer Yamada gritted his teeth and continued to operate the fighter plane in level flight.

Eight grid tooth road! The Soviets are playing tricks, they simply don't have air-to-air missiles that can be launched at a distance of 80 km!

What are you afraid of! Isn't it the most advanced MiG-25 of the Soviets? The fighter plane piloted by himself is also the most advanced aircraft of the United States!

Warrant Officer Yamada continued to accelerate in level flight, and the radar operator in the rear cabin reported that the target had finally been found!

"Lock, lock! Prepare for Sparrow Missiles! Warrant Officer Yamada almost shouted this sentence, the Soviets went too far, and actually approached the territory of Japan, and if they got any closer, they would launch missiles and attack the other side.

The radar operator in the aft compartment quickly operated his own radar, watched the bright spots on the screen being trapped, and finally completed the lock!

At this time, the distance between the two sides is already forty kilometers!

When the sound of the radar warning receiver sounded in the headset, Andre pushed the lever and kicked the rudder, the rudder surface of the MiG-25 responded sensitively, and the steel fighter made a dashing rolling action, and the radar alarm in the headset stopped abruptly.
