Tu-22, a supersonic bomber designed and produced by the Tupolev Design Bureau, is also the first supersonic bomber equipped by the Soviet Union, and is planned to replace the Tu-15 bomber, breaking through the air defense network and air interception with supersonic flight performance, and throwing nuclear weapons on strategic targets in Europe. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, when this kind of bomber is put into service, the performance is not very reliable, and the range is not satisfactory, especially after the aircraft is filled with fuel and missiles, it is simply unable to fly at supersonic speed, even if it reaches Mach 1.5 when it reaches the vicinity of the target, it cannot effectively evade the interception of NATO fighters and anti-aircraft missiles at that time.

Therefore, this bomber was only a small number in the equipment sequence of the USSR, until the collapse of the USSR, it was equipped with only three hundred, and a large number of them were exported, not caring about secret leaks, the USSR needed a new generation of supersonic bombers to replace the Tu-16 and Tu-22.

Due to the absolute status of the Tupolev Design Bureau in the development of large aircraft in the USSR, they did not take it seriously, but only made minor repairs on the basis of the Tu-22 and increased the thrust of the engines. At the same time, the Sukhoi Design Bureau was the first to react and designed the famous T-4 bomber.

At this time, the Tupolev Design Bureau was in a hurry, up and down like ants on a hot pot, and in the end it had to be overturned: overthrowing the basis of the Tu-22 and redesigning a completely new supersonic bomber. As a result, the Tu-22M Backfire, a completely new variable sweep wing bomber, was born that frightened the Americans, almost just to attack the American aircraft carrier formation!

Until later generations, there were rumors that Huaxia wanted to buy Backfire, just to hit the aircraft carriers of the Americans.

Right now. It's not a backfire yet, it's just an eye patch. These bombers, too, are a nightmare for the US Navy.

This is the blindfold of the flying regiment. The entire aircraft carrier formation of the Americans was contained, and the Tomcat fighters did not rescue the F-15 formation that was in distress at this time.

It's not just the F-15 fighter that was brutalized by the MiG-25, at this time, the biggest crisis for the Americans is the AWACS aircraft that is hovering in southern Hokkaido!

The EC-121 AWACS aircraft, the mainstay of the US Air Force before the E-3 was not in service, was in tension at this time.

The air force on the front line is being strangled by the MiG-25 fleet, and those hateful Soviets are actually using the tactics of sneak attack! If communication is restored. Then you can remind your own air force!

Communications were seriously disrupted, even with the AWACS aircraft, which had intermittent contact with the Yokota base in the rear.

If the data link system is perfect, then you can now rely on the data link to provide you with targets, but unfortunately, the data link in this era is also very primitive, and the anti-interference ability is limited.

"Keep flying north!" Finally, the AWACS commander gave another order, only further north. Only then will it be possible to restore communications, and as long as communications are restored, you will be able to command your own air force to fight!

"Report, suspicious target spotted!" That's when it happened. An early warning officer shouted.

On the radar screen, two targets appeared in the east, at this time. The other party is climbing and flying in their direction. Did the Soviets deploy a field airfield on the island?

"Three hundred!" The AWACS commander glanced at the signal and did not immediately fall into a panic. Three hundred kilometers, the distance is not close.

"Let our escort fighters intercept it immediately!"

Accompanied by this AWACS aircraft, there were two F-4 fighters with plaster flags accompanying the escort, and the two fighters who received the order immediately threw away the auxiliary fuel tanks and went to the east to intercept them.

Little did they know that they would be facing two fighters that could not be intercepted!

Two F-4 fighters with plaster flags, turned on the afterburner, flew in the direction of the target, the radar in the nose turned on, ready to lock on to the target and launch their own Sparrow missiles.

"The goal is still climbing!" In the AWACS aircraft, the early warning personnel looked at the data of the two targets and couldn't help but get nervous.

The height has exceeded fifteen thousand, and it is still climbing!

The commander also realized that something was wrong at this time, looking at the climb speed, it was very similar to that kind of perverted fighter, no, definitely not, the MiG-25 of the Soviets was not equipped with many in total, this kind of heavy interceptor, the cost of building and flying must be astronomical, just like its own SR71, the number will definitely not be very large.

As far as the available information goes, there are only two MiG-25 flying regiments in the entire Far East, and those flying from the east are definitely not on the Kamchatka Peninsula, and the MiG-25 does not have such a long range, and it can only take off from the base on the island, and it is definitely not the MiG-25!

"The height is more than 18,000, and it's still climbing!" At this moment, the voice of the early warning officer was already filled with fear.

The height is more than 18,000 and still climbing! Needless to say, it's definitely the MiG-25!

"Quick, turn around and fly south!" The commander shouted, banging the glass of the cockpit in front of him and speaking to the pilot in front of him.

Run, if you don't run at this time, it's too late, the height of the other party has jumped to 20,000, and the two F-4s sent in front have no ability to intercept at all!

In which direction to run? There is a war in the north, the Sea of Japan in the west, and the direction in which the target is coming from in the east, so you can only fly south! As long as you fly over the Zeqing Strait and get to the sky over Honshu, you will be safe!

"Stupid, lower the height, lower the height!" The commander continued to shout.

On the radar screen, the two planes are approaching rapidly, 200 kilometers! Moreover, the other party is still accelerating, if it flies at the speed of Mach 3, it will definitely not be able to fly in the Zeqing Strait, and it will be overtaken.

By this time, the commander already regretted that he had just ventured north, it was a conspiracy of the Soviets!

Although the higher you fly, the lower the air resistance, the greater the maximum speed, but no matter how fast you fly, you can't fly the MiG-25.

At least the electronics of the Soviets were not good, and the MiG-25 at high altitude had a weak ability to shoot downward.

has never encountered this kind of danger, every time the EC-121 has been well protected, especially since 69 years, after running to the sky above **** to be arrogant and being beaten down by the **** MiG-21, the EC-121's route every time is strictly planned.

Now, feeling the threat of death, the commander's voice was full of tears, and the faces of the other people in the cabin were pale.

This is not a small AWACS aircraft of the E-2 category, there are only five or six people on it, and the crew of this AWACS aircraft is a full twenty-six! When necessary, you can be on duty for 24 hours in a row!

"A hundred kilometers away!" Another alarm sound.

Americans, Lao Tzu is coming! High in the air, Andre was also a burst of excitement that could not be concealed. (To be continued.) )
