Chapter 168: Don't Run (48/100)
In the rear cabin, Graham is on standby.
Nathan's plan is the only counterattack plan, and this soft-kill weapon is also the only plan among the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft flying in Mach 3 with a low body strength.
However, it is too strict in its grasp of timing.
If you turn on the headlights too early, then the other party will be alert and will not be able to achieve the degree of temporary blindness of the other party, and if you turn on the headlights too late, the other person will already fire, and you will be blown up in the sky.
The attack distance of the cannon is about a few hundred meters, and the best distance of this headlight is also a few hundred meters, which means that you can turn on your headlights almost before the opponent fires, or even at the moment of fire.
How accurate does this have to be?
On the one hand, it is necessary to rely on the long-range early warning radar in the rear, which is powerful enough to be installed in Hokkaido and can already search for the activities of fighters in the opposite Primorsky Territory.
It can provide early warning.
Secondly, the main thing is to rely on the blackbird's own observations.
After all, the long-range warning radar can only find the target, the accuracy is very poor, and the grasp of the critical timing has to rely on itself.
Therefore, this specially modified training aircraft, on the one hand, placed a headlight array device in the original reconnaissance camera window, and on the other hand, added a panoramic window for downward observation.
Graham in the rear compartment needs to keep his eyes firmly attached to this observation window to be able to observe the situation in the airspace below.
A cannon attack cannot be a head-on attack, and the reaction time left for the opponent is too short, and the attack is definitely a collision.
It is also impossible to bite the tail, because the biting requires the higher speed of the latter to do this, and it is simply impossible to enter the tail accurately when both sides have the same speed.
Therefore, the Soviets' interception plan is a carefully planned track meeting point, their own side is flying horizontally in the sky, and the interceptor follows an upward throwing line, and at the place around the apex of the curve, it happens to meet its own aircraft, and the shooting window is only a few seconds.
In this way, it is enough to observe the airspace below.
In the era of missiles, if you listen to the sound of the radar warning receiver, you can know what the other side is doing, and then you can maneuver.
And now, if the other party is cunning enough, it will not turn on the radar at all and avoid stimulating its own radar warning receiver.
"Nothing has been found at this time." Graham said.
"Keep watching, the Soviets will definitely take the bait." Nathan said.
The Blackbird reconnaissance plane dragged two orange-red tail flames in its tail, and the front fuselage glowed with a faint blue light and entered Soviet airspace.
At this time, Andre had also taken off and was continuing to climb with afterburner.
"The course is correct, please keep it up."
"There are still fifty kilometers to go to the goal."
Fifty kilometers, which is already a relatively close distance, Andrei's hand pulled a few electric gates, ready to turn on his airborne radar, but when the last electric door was pulled, he still gave up and dialed those back again.
The use of airborne radar is just to find the target more accurately, but at the same time, it will also startle the snake, in fact, the accuracy of ground guidance is high enough, plus your own eyesight is good, you can find it visually.
Thinking of this, he looked into the sky through the lenses in front of him, and the narrow lenses in front of him looked quite inconvenient.
The high air pressure is low, although the cockpit is pressurized, but in case the plane breaks down and needs to eject, the pilot who has no protection will have to die when he goes out.
So, they wear pressurized flight suits and special helmets.
The GSH-6 high-altitude pressurized helmet looks like a diver's helmet, with the front glass opening, but when closed, it remains airtight with the helmet, and oxygen is delivered directly through the helmet.
This piece of glass is transparent, there are no black goggles, and at high altitude, goggles are not needed at all.
In fact, depending on the mission, for example, when they perform low-altitude flight missions, they will also wear the most ordinary ZSh-5 helmet, which comes with special black goggles.
Now, as the altitude increases, especially after more than 25,000 kilometers, the surroundings begin to gradually become gray. As the light dimmed, the pupils of Andre's eyes began to slowly widen, adapting to the current situation.
It's not all black, it's a gray-black, and upward, it's all black, and in the distance, at the edge of the earth, you'll see a ring of bluish colors.
This kind of scenery that appears high in the sky is really fascinating.
But now, it was not the time to think about this kind of problem, he followed the guidance of the ground CGI, and soon, he found the target visually.
There are still twenty kilometers to go, and the interception route is normal!
The silhouette of the Blackbird reconnaissance plane was not yet visible, but he could see the two flames in the tail, which were the most obvious targets against the dark background of space.
Same as last time!
Andrei opened the weapon safe, and after a while, use his double-barreled cannon to let this blackbird go up in smoke!
Andrei didn't worry too much, the MiG-25 is a stainless steel fighter, which can withstand the vibration of cannon fire, while the Blackbird is made of titanium alloy, which is not strong enough, if it also installs a cannon and shoots at itself, it will definitely be a dead end.
No matter what the purpose of the Americans is here, as long as the other side comes, then let the other side die.
His only worry is that the other party has changed the flight route, his interception window is too small, as long as the other party changes course, he will pass by the other party, and there is no chance to intercept again.
There's a kind of you don't run!
Of course Nathan won't run, and now, they're just waiting for the Soviets to come up!
"A MiG-25 was found, about five kilometers away from us." Graham's voice tensed, too.
Observing from low altitude to high altitude is easy to observe against a black space background, but from high altitude to low altitude, it is not easy, after all, there is an image of the ground as the background, which is difficult to distinguish.
Although the distance is only five kilometers, there is more than enough time to prepare!
The Soviets, sure enough, came, and success or failure was in one fell swoop!
Nathan, who was in the front cabin, had already relaxed at this time.
Nathan's biggest concern is that the Soviets will not come up, or it will not be Andrei who will come up, and now, the Soviets have come, as for whether it is Andrey or not, it is impossible to identify, and the rest is to give the gift of the high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft unit of the United States to the pilot of the Soviet Territorial Defense Force who came to intercept it!
"Keep tracking, don't rush." Nathan said.
