The Tu-95 reconnaissance plane, with four NK12 engines on both sides, is emitting a roar, which has deceived many observers into thinking that this is a propeller aircraft.

In fact, the propeller only provides one-third of the power, and the other two-thirds of the power is achieved by jets, so although it is a propeller aircraft, it greatly exceeds the speed of the propeller aircraft.

And during the take-off and landing phases, the propeller also gave it good handling, as it does now.

Pilot Eddev Toft, flipping the knobs one by one, turning on the navigation equipment, contacting the tower, on his right, Captain Locks looked out, the black sky, no stars in sight, this is the most common night.

However, this night was not ordinary, and by the time they accepted the mission, they were already mentally prepared.

The real war has begun, and in the daytime, your side has fought its first large-scale battle, and now it is time to avenge the fallen warriors!

The Americans made a fuss about the Sakhalin air disaster in a vain attempt to overthrow the Soviet regime, which was absolutely impossible! Our mission this time is to search for the Americans' aircraft carrier formation, guide our Tu-22M fleet, and destroy them!

"Take off." Locks said.

With his command, Adtek opened the throttle and released the brakes, and the engine of the Tu-95 reconnaissance aircraft made an even more exciting roar, the propeller turned at high speed, and soon, the plane was pulled up from the runway.

Compared with those bombing types, the reconnaissance type aircraft is lighter, after all, it does not need to carry heavy bombs, and it can even fly for more than ten hours with full fuel.

The tail of the engine, in the darkness, can be seen to burst into flames, it is the tail flame that is sprayed, and now, driven by the engine, the reconnaissance plane began to climb slowly.

In the aft compartment, the reconnaissance officer had already begun to warm up the large radar and turn on various radio receiving equipment.

It is not easy to find an aircraft carrier formation at sea, and their large sea-to-sea search radar can only find targets at a distance of more than 300 kilometers in good sea conditions, and at that time, they are already in the air defense circle of the opposing aircraft carrier.

Therefore, it is not enough to rely only on the sea search radar, but also on various passive radio receiving equipment, and on the fuselage of the aircraft, various antennas are densely arranged, which are used to receive electromagnetic signals.

If it is an aircraft carrier formation, it will radiate all kinds of electromagnetic waves outward, such as radar waves in the airspace scanned by radar, such as radio waves, such as electromagnetic signals transmitted by rudimentary data links, and so on.

This kind of passive reception signal has to be farther away, so the general way of this kind of reconnaissance plane is to first receive it passively, wait until it is passively received, and after discovering the target, call its own bomber group to take off, and when its own bomber group is about to come, then turn on the radar, scan the opponent's fleet, and provide guidance signals at the same time.

This is the most appropriate solution.

Of course, what tactics will be used will be a matter for later, and as for now, we must first find traces of the US aircraft carrier formation.

If there is only one reconnaissance plane, then they are tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, so, in order to improve efficiency, all four reconnaissance planes of the entire base were dispatched to search along four routes.

Behind this reconnaissance plane, the other reconnaissance planes were also taking off one after another, burrowing into the dark night sky, and in the base, only three Tu-22M bomber regiments were left on standby, and their planes had already mounted missiles and were waiting for news at all times.

Time passes little by little.

It was pitch black all around, relying on radio navigation equipment, Edteff piloted the plane, flew over the four northern islands, towards the southern seas, and continued to fly, in the vast Pacific Ocean, where was the American aircraft carrier formation hiding?

It was already twelve o'clock in the night.

The scout officer looked at the meter in front of him, and there was no reaction, and suddenly, the screen in front of him jumped out of an echo!

"Suspicious electromagnetic signal detected!" The scout shouted, and then, with his hand, quickly adjusted the knobs to make a comparison, and after two seconds, he got the result that frustrated him: "It's the E-2 AWACS!" ”

I didn't find the aircraft carrier formation, but I encountered the AWACS aircraft first!

There are American AWACS aircraft, which means that the Americans' aircraft carrier formation is nearby, but at the same time, it also means that they have been discovered!

Different early warning aircraft emit different electromagnetic signals, such as the E-2 early warning aircraft, which uses a special UHF band, which is easy to identify, and at the same time, every time it makes a revolution, it jumps the frequency.

"Immediately notify the rear bombing regiment that the general location of the US aircraft carrier has been found, and ask them to take off immediately!" Locks shouted.

The Americans' early warning planes generally fly over the sea area of about 300 kilometers around the aircraft carrier, and now, the distance between their own side and the opponent's early warning aircraft may still be several hundred kilometers, and even so, they can know that the opponent's aircraft carrier must be in the sea here, and they can't wait any longer, so immediately call the bombers to dispatch!

At the same time, inside the E-2 AWACS aircraft, there was also an exclamation: "A large target has been found, the distance is three hundred, the speed is six hundred, and the altitude is ten thousand!" ”

"Is it a civil airplane?"

"There is no civil aviation signal response, and this is not a civil aviation route."

"Call the Kitty Hawk immediately, call the escort to go and observe!"

The E-2 AWACS aircraft was also highly nervous, and the news also spread to the Kitty Hawk along with the radio waves.

Sharp sirens echoed over the Kitty Hawk.

At this time, Nathan had already put down the magazine he had just read for a long time and was about to sleep beautifully, when this sharp alarm made his face change in an instant.

Did the Soviets really dare to come?

"Nathan, you're going to hurt me!" Gus was in the bathroom, and a shout was heard.

At this time, Gus's body was covered with foam, and he was taking a bath to the most comfortable.

On the aircraft carrier, there is no need to worry about the lack of water, so everyone has the habit of taking a bath, and just after confirming with Nathan for the tenth time, Gus finally took off his clothes and went to the bathroom to take a bath.

As a result, now, the alarm actually sounded!

Gus hurriedly flushed the water, washed off the foam on his body and head, and then ran out.

Get dressed, get dressed!

If it is an ordinary passenger plane, then what the pilot wants to wear is generally a beautiful uniform, but a fighter jet, it is different.

The inside is close-fitting underwear, the outside is a compensatory suit, and there is an anti-load suit on the outside of the compensatory suit, and the compensatory suit is one-piece, so it is not a matter of one or two strokes to wear.

Nathan also hurried up, although he had already arranged for combat readiness duty, but this alarm sounded, could it be that the Soviets were really going to launch a night attack?
