Chapter 52: Wreck the Fighter! (a)
"Pay attention to the lateral spacing, Kawasaki, slow down. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "The two salvage ships are also nervously cooperating at this time.
Just now, when the two salvage ships were hoisting together, the MiG-25 fighter was lifted out of the water, and now, the two salvage ships need to work closely together to put the MiG-25 fighter on the back deck of one of the salvage ships. In this case, the other ship will need to slow down in order to be able to align the MiG-25 with the aft deck.
The boom is also turning, in the sea, constantly shaking, this close cooperation, is also a very dangerous action, the slightest carelessness, the two salvage ships are about to collide.
Locke didn't have much to worry about, now that his mission was complete, it would be too stupid for these people to even finish the finishing touches.
At this moment, there was a huge roar in the distance, Locke raised his head and saw a huge fighter plane on the sea in the distance, roaring, the iconic huge air intake, the layout of the double hanging tail, made Locke stunned, damn, it was the MiG-25 fighter of the Soviets!
"Attention, the Soviets are coming!" Locke shouted.
In order to avoid being discovered by the Soviets, this salvage was secret, and no warships were dispatched, just these two salvage ships, they did not expect that they had lured away the warships of the Soviets, how could the Soviets suddenly appear again.
"Be careful!" The roaring fighter plane caused a panic among the two salvage ships below, one of the salvage ships shook, and the bow of the ship slammed into the stern of the other salvage ship.
If this hits, the damage to the ship is secondary, the main thing is that the MiG-25, which is still being hoisted, will definitely be hit one of the salvage ships and become shattered!
At the critical moment, the captains of the two ships maintained close cooperation, as if they had a heart, and the two ships separated again, and the MiG-25 shook a little and continued to regain stability.
The roaring MiG-25 flew over the mast height of the two ships, bringing air currents that almost blew the Locke on deck into the sea.
"Sokolovka, Sokolovka, 032 report, the situation has changed, I have already visually discovered the salvage operations of the Americans, Belenko's fighter plane has been salvaged by the Americans!" Flying at an ultra-low altitude, Andrei made a U-turn while piloting the fighter plane after climbing, and reported to the base.
What to do? Andrei was very anxious at this time. At this time, the two frigates of their own side have been driven away from this sea area by the US Navy, at least 50 nautical miles away, and even if they come over, it will take about two hours, and the Americans obviously will not give themselves such an opportunity, and just after discovering themselves, the American fighters will definitely take off to drive them away.
It's only a hundred nautical miles away from Hokkaido, and the American fighters will be killed in ten minutes at most, and they must solve this problem within ten minutes!
"032, 032, destroy Belenko's fighter!" Sokolovka's command came from the headset.
"Roger!" Having received the order, Andrei was full of fighting spirit.
Rushing to a height of several hundred meters, Andrey turned the operating stick, and the MiG-25 fighter once again turned into a Grim Reaper and fell from the sky!
Destroy Belenko's plane! If the fighter was still flying at this time, it would be just a dish for Andrey, who could launch an R-40 missile and easily turn that fighter into pieces.
But now, the plane did not fly, the engine did not ignite, and the MiG-25 in a salvage state, in the middle of the two salvage ships, is almost an unlockable target!
Andrey's fighter has a total of four pylons, mounted two R-40 missiles and four R-60 missiles, because this missile is too lightweight, so a composite pylon, one pylons can be mounted two, which is also the way to mount on other fighters.
After a little thought, Andrey decided to use the visual method to shoot out the four R-60 missiles as if they were rockets!
Flying purely by inertia, it is difficult to hit the target, but if the R-60's seeker is used for guidance, it will definitely not attack the aircraft that did not ignite at all, but will attack the chimneys of the two salvage ships, where the infrared signature is the most obvious.
Missiles were fired like rockets, and only during the Vietnam War, American pilots would have done so in the face of the low hit rate of Sparrow missiles.
Now Andrey had to resort to the same means.
The MiG-25 does not have a way to launch rockets, but in his previous life, Andrei used Su-27 series aircraft more than once to carry out rocket attack missions, and for various reasons, he was reluctant to launch missiles during the exercise, and could only launch this low-cost, good-looking and ornamental rocket.
When the MiG-25 turned again and flew towards this side, the crews of the two salvage ships broke out screaming, they watched the fire flicker under the wings of the other party, and then, one after another, the missiles flew over with the flames, and immediately thought that the plane was going to kill them.
"Kawasaki, let go of the ropes!" Locke shouted, he could see clearly that the other party was not coming towards his own ship at all, but wanted to destroy the plane.
Locke understands very well that this MiG-25 fighter is designed to fight in the air and does not carry anti-ship missiles at all.
Now, in a panic on your side, if you are not careful, two ships collide and damage the MiG-25 on it, then it will be troublesome, so you must separate! The ship behind must be let go of the ropes!
Locke's voice resounded on the deck, and he didn't panic. The Kawasaki, which received the news, quickly disconnected the lifting wire rope, but unfortunately it was still a step late.
The four missiles, dragging the flames, flew over, three of them, grazing the top of their heads, only the last one, barely reached the side of the MiG-25, the proximity fuse exploded, and countless fragmented warheads flew towards the MiG-25 that had just come out of the water.
Then, the rope was disconnected, and the MiG-25 lost the sling on one side, and in an instant it turned down, forming a single pendulum in the air, which swayed back and forth several times.
Still intact!
"Quick, accelerate, return!" Locke looked at the dangling fighter plane, and at this time there was no other choice, hurry up and run away! It was too late to fix this fighter on the aft deck and put it away, so under the tow of the sling, quickly retreated!
Hold on for another three minutes, and your fighters will come up to support, and you will be safe!
