Chapter 143: The Dark Forest

As a bomber with a maximum take-off weight of more than 100 tons, the Tu-22M operates in a similar way to a large passenger aircraft, with the operating stick holding the vertical handle with both hands, and pushing forward, the aircraft will bow its head. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

On the narrow glass in front of you, an azure sea appeared.

Tu-22M is a key bomber of the Soviet Union, and one of its very important capabilities is to penetrate the defense at low altitude and high speed!

In the face of the increasingly serious threat of ground anti-aircraft fire, it is a very important performance to quickly sweep over the target and quickly drop bombs; although the missile mounted under the Tu-22M has a range of 500 kilometers, the probability of the carrier aircraft being discovered can still be reduced to a minimum by penetrating the defense at low altitude and high speed.

In the rectangular air intakes on both sides, a large flow of air was sucked into the engine, and the oncoming air became denser and denser, but the speed of the Tu-22M was still increasing!

"Note that the other party has entered a low altitude, turned on the radar, and searched for the target." The commander inside the AWACS shouted.

The other party has entered the low altitude, and the speed is very fast! They knew that this was a low-altitude and high-speed flight of the other side, what did the Soviets want to do?

The pilot of the F-15 quickly turned on the radar, and on the radar screen, he finally saw the bright spot, and at this time, the other party was only thirty kilometers away from him!

"Attention, prepare to turn." said the long plane of the F-15. Now, the two sides are flying head-on, and at such a fast speed, a distance of tens of kilometers, they will roar by.

That bright spot is still accelerating, still reducing altitude!

The pilot of the long plane pressed the control stick, and the plane flew sideways, and he saw the figure of the plane flickering by outside the glass of the bubble cockpit.

Tu-22M, already flying under his wing!

"Turn, pursue." The pilot of the long plane slowed down, pressed the slope, pulled the rod and pedaled the rudder, and made a quick turn, and the huge overload pressed him to the seat and couldn't move, and even the muscles on his face were torn painfully.

As a heavy air superior, the F-15's performance is outstanding, with the combined action of the two vertical rudders, combined with the centripetal force provided by the tilt of the wings, the fighter makes a turn in almost a minimum radius and then returns to the path it has just taken.

Turn on the afterburner and catch up! What the hell did the Soviets want to do! The pilot of the F-15 was very angry, if it was an aircraft from any other country, then he probably would have not hesitated to lock on to the other side with radar and launch missiles, but it was a Soviet plane that came, and at this most tense moment, he had to be careful, a frontal military conflict with the Soviet Union was absolutely not in the interests of Israel, if the Soviet Union personally participated, coupled with the attack of the armies of the Arab countries, Israel, maybe it really came to a critical juncture.

During the Cold War, there were many confrontations between the fighter planes of the United States and the Soviet Union, but both sides were very restrained in the danger of provoking a conflict of this level and breaking out into a world war.

What's more, the airspace where they are now is still over the high seas.

The F-15 fighters returned in a four-plane formation quickly, and finally, catching up with the ultra-low-flying bomber, the Israeli pilots began to admire the Soviets, piloting this large plane, the other party actually flew to a height of 100 meters above sea level, and now it has reached Mach 0.9!

You can fly even lower yourself! The pilot of the F-15 fighter pressed the operating stick and flew to an ultra-low altitude of 80 meters, and then, he saw the big guy on the belly of the opponent's plane, which was a missile!

Although during the exercise, the air forces of all countries will carry weapons, which may be live ammunition or training ammunition, but in the current situation, no one will treat this kind of thing as an ordinary training bullet.

"Report, the target has been visually searched, and it has been found that the other party has a missile on board, and it is requested to attack." The Jewish Air Force has always been very tenacious, and they have taken the initiative to attack as their creed, and in this situation, in order for the other side not to attack themselves, the squadron leader of the F-15 squadron asked on the radio.

"No, now the other side is still on the high seas, shooting down will cause a diplomatic conflict, keep a close surveillance." There was no consent from above.

High seas? When they can't fly into Israel's territorial waters, the other side has already launched missiles and flew away, and when the time comes, will they shoot down the missiles or shoot down the plane? The squadron leader thought depressedly.

It is easy to shoot down a plane, but it is useless to shoot down a plane when the other side has launched a missile, and it is difficult to shoot down that missile.

You must know that the Tu-22M is a supersonic missile, with a maximum Mach number of 2.5, and when the time comes, he will not be able to shoot down this missile at all, not to mention supersonic speed, that is, subsonic missiles, which are very difficult!

The pilots of the F-15 squadron were very depressed, but they had no other way but to accompany the two ultra-low-flying bombers.

"We're being stalked by an eagle." said the pilot of one of the Tu-22M aircraft.

"What a nasty guy." A weapons operations officer in the rear compartment said, looking up at the plane on his left from the glass on his side, which was an American F-15 fighter jet with a tail spray logo, belonging to the Israeli Air Force.

"Let's scare these Jewish planes." Another weapon operator in the aft compartment said, opening his weapon safe.

Then he pressed a red button in front of him.

"Tutu, tutu." At this time, two red fires appeared in the tail of the Tu-22M, as a bomber, the Tu-22M is unique, that is, the turret in the tail!

Tu-22M, with a twin 23mm cannon in the tail, strafed aimlessly into the air, and behind the low-altitude fast-flying fuselage, a tongue of fire appeared, which was spectacular.

The tongue of fire was far away from the accompanying F-15 fighter jet, but it still startled the F-15 pilot, who knew that it was the plane expressing its anger.

The F-15 fighters compromised, and they had to go a little farther away, but they were still closely watching.

The radar operators on the E-2 AWACS aircraft, who were closely watching the light points on the screen, had now flown more than 200 kilometers of their own coastline, and could hardly search for signals on land, and they made their best efforts to counter the attack of the Soviets.

What makes them pessimistic is that they can only wait for the Soviets to launch missiles before they can counterattack, and they have mainly taken the initiative to attack in the past, but this time they can only passively wait for the other side to fight, but everything is just a possibility.

The minutes ticked by. (To be continued.) )
