Chapter 126: Belenko's Defection (6/100)
"031, please call back if you receive it, 031, please call back if you receive it!"
At the Sokolovka base, Andrei had just returned to the team when he heard the voice of the commander of the base, Kozhdub.
Hearing this call, Andrei was shocked: "Commander, what's the matter?" ”
"Two minutes ago, a MiG-25 plane piloted by Captain Belenko suddenly dropped in altitude during a test flight after the engine was replaced, and now it cannot be called by radio." This was stated by the commander of the 513 regiment, Colonel Ivanov.
Suddenly, Andrei frowned, this incident sounds too fake, in addition to the crash of the fighter, there is another situation!
"Report, I request to take off immediately and go to search and rescue!" Andrei said.
A few minutes later, Andre, who had changed into a flight suit, sat in his No. 032 fighter.
Last time, he heroically rammed the American EP-3, and this time, he will again perform a miracle!
After leaving the hangar, sliding onto the runway, and turning on the afterburner, Andre felt the huge take-off acceleration, took off from the runway, accelerated, and flew in the direction he was destined to be.
At this time, Belenko was piloting his own fighter plane, flying at an ultra-low altitude on the sea, heading towards the beautiful Western world.
Inspired by Anne, in order to make the Western world accept him, Belenko finally implemented his own defection plan.
If Anne conveys the news to the United States, over Hokkaido, there will be two F-4 fighters waiting for Belenko, and as long as Belenko flies over the center line of the Sea of Japan, the other side will fly up to escort and protect themselves!
It's a pity that Belenko took off in the name of testing the performance of the newly replaced engine, and before takeoff, the ground staff did not fill up much fuel, only six tons of fuel. Therefore, he was unable to turn on the afterburner and reach Hokkaido with the fastest sprint speed.
Otherwise, he only needs to turn on the afterburner and soar into the sky, and there will be no fighter behind him to catch up with him.
Flying at an ultra-low altitude over the sea, it was the same, at this time, at an altitude of three hundred meters, Belenko was flying easily, he was familiar with his own equipment,
The Whirlwind-A radar in front of the MiG-25, which uses a processing system consisting of an integral circuit of a vacuum tube, is simply not able to effectively process numerous signals from the ground radar echoes, and now Belenko is hidden under the protection of waves on the sea surface, and the radar cannot detect him.
It's a pity that Belenko didn't know that his close friend, Andrey, was piloting a newly commissioned MiG-25PD fighter, which was equipped with a Sapphire-25 pulse-Doppler radar with the ability to fire downwards.
At the same time, he didn't know that in addition to two F-4 fighters waiting for him over Hokkaido, there were also two Tomcat fighters, which were catapulting from the aircraft carrier and coming this way.
Now, there is no exchange of information between the Navy and the Air Force, and historically, even in the nineties, because the exchange of information between the services was not smooth, there would be cases of accidental attacks, let alone now.
"I found a target and was flying towards Hokkaido." At this time, on the E-2 early warning aircraft, the radar operator couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that a bright spot finally appeared on the radar screen, and it was exactly the same as his own guess.
"Lone ranger, pay attention, the target appears, the target appears, there are still four hundred kilometers from the target." At this time, the two Tomcat fighters led by Nathan had already flown over Hokkaido.
Just after a supersonic flight sprint for a while, and now it has entered the high subsonic flight phase again, and when he heard the voice on the radio, Nathan said: "Lone ranger received, how far is the Air Force fighter?" ”
"Air Force fighters are three hundred kilometers away."
The Air Force also has two F-4 fighters waiting, and at the same time, the E-2 early warning aircraft supported by the Air Force also discovered the target almost at the same time, so the two Air Force F-4 fighters are also flying in the direction of the target, ready to respond.
Well, the Air Force left earlier, it seems that the Air Force came into contact with the target aircraft first, and now, the most critical thing is, will that Andrey, will the plane chase after him?
"Roger, Hawkeye, please continue to monitor the air, something else may arise." As he flew, Nathan shouted over the radio, and when the call switch was turned off, he shouted to Guss behind him, "Turn on the radar, PDS mode." ”
The most powerful Tomcat fighter is the radar, when the F-15 competed for the export of the fighters of the BS country, Nathan used the radar as a big breakthrough, and now, to search in PDS mode, the farthest detection distance can be more than 315 kilometers, it is simply a small early warning aircraft.
Well, the target will be visible soon.
Tomcat fighter, the most powerful is the radar, originally the later Su-27, the radar caliber is about the same as it, but it is dragged down by electronic technology, and the performance is not high.
With Nathan's order, Gus turned on the radar, how far he could see, and how big the target was, and although the MiG-25 was called a fighter, it was actually about the same size as a light bomber, so it could probably have a tank distance of 300 kilometers.
As the bright line on the screen rotated, the first thing you saw was the Air Force fighter, and the friend or foe recognizer responded normally, it was your own F-4, and they should be able to rush to the airspace earlier.
At the same time, the Eagle Eye early warning aircraft is also vigilantly searching the surrounding airspace, scanning the electromagnetic waves one by one, and then there is a new harvest: "A new target has been discovered, and it is catching up with the first one!" ”
When entering the eagle's eye's field of vision, Andrei's fighter plane had already found Belenko's fighter plane flying at an ultra-low altitude on the sea, and Andrei was quite angry at Belenko's act of surrendering to the enemy.
"Belenko, return immediately, you have entered the air defense identification zone of the island state." Andrei's radio was finally connected to Belenko, when Andrei came to the Far Eastern Military District, the person he was most familiar with was Belenko, and now, Andrei was giving Belenko a chance, if Belenko returned now, he could explain it to Kozhdub as a trek, which was also Andrei's only righteous approach.
"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!" ”
"032, Captain Belenko has already 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! Andrei finally stopped hesitating, turned on the switch of the weapon, and prepared to launch the missile.
