Chapter 170: Out of Sight (50/100)
Can a camera's flash cause blindness?
Many medical experts refute that this is a false proposition, but in reality, a certain celebrity caused a temporary blindness in his eyes because of the reporter's flash, and these things did not happen to the brick family, of course, they will only talk about it themselves.
Now, this incident is happening to Andrei alive.
The flash, the intense flash, everything in front of me, was white, as if it were a white mist, and there was nothing to see except the white mist.
And then, there was darkness, endless darkness, and Andrei's world lost its light.
When he found that everything around him had turned black, Andrei almost subconsciously knew what was going on, damn Americans, who actually flashed his eyes with a strong light!
Then, with almost no hesitation, Andrei pressed the button of his cannon, and even in the dark, he could feel the position of the button.
"Tom tom!"
The machine guns on both sides were roaring, as if venting their anger, and countless 23mm shells were pouring into the sky, even if they couldn't see it, they had to shoot down each other!
Just like last time!
This time, Andre almost did not pause, drained all the spare ammunition on both sides, he did not change course, even if it was because of the collision with the other party, he also admitted it.
"032, 032, report status." On the ground, there was an anxious shout from the regiment commander, and it was obvious that something was wrong with this interception!
"032 report, I've shot all the shells, and, I can't see it." Andrei said.
Can not see? This is not clear, the regiment commander said anxiously: "Flatten the plane, flatten the plane, and now the plane is still climbing." What don't you see? ”
Only one bright spot can be seen on the radar, the altitude continues to rise, it is already the ceiling of the MiG-25, and if it continues to rise, it can easily lead to a stall crash.
The regiment commander thought that Andrei could not see the target, and on the radar screen, the target did not disappear, and had begun to move away.
This interception failed.
"Roger." Andrei replied, while slowly pushing the lever to level the plane: "I can't see anything. ”
Can't see anything? In the entire tower, everyone was stunned, and the regiment commander suddenly put down the radio and handed it to the deputy regiment commander: "You command him, and I will answer it." ”
The regiment commander ran out quickly, but he didn't even wear a high-altitude anti-load suit, only carried a flight helmet, and ran to his landline.
I can't see anything, Andrei is blind, how difficult it must be for a blind pilot to fly a plane back! Someone has to be in command!
Andrey did not give up.
The MiG-25 was the property of the state, and he had to drive it back.
On the ground, it is easy to distinguish what state the human body is in, the feeling of handstand and upright is definitely different, however, in the sky, it is not obvious.
For a pilot who is accustomed to the sky, there is no difference between flying upside down and flying upside down, and the most peculiar and common hallucination is that when flying upside down on the sea, the sky is the sea, and the sea is the sky, and he originally intended to climb, but he fell into the sea.
And now, such an experienced pilot as Andrey, too, could not even maintain a smooth flight when he could not see anything.
"Steady, steady, no, you're dropping height!"
"Push the lever, you're climbing again!"
Andrei was in the cabin, tossing back and forth, one moment climbing, the other diving, if he continued like this, he would definitely not be able to fly to the base, and when the fuel ran out, he would only have the share of parachuting.
At this moment, a calm voice came from the headphones: "032, steady, I'll take you home." ”
The regiment commander personally piloted the fighter plane and came to meet Andrey!
At this time, miraculously, the plane flew flat.
The mechanically controlled aircraft is completely controlled by human control, and when it comes to the fly-by-wire system of the third-generation aircraft, if you can't figure out the state of the aircraft, then simply release the operating stick, and under the control of the computer, the aircraft will level out by itself.
Now, Andrey's plane is flying smoothly, and the voice of the guide is heard in the headset, and his heart is like water.
What are you afraid of, although everything around him is black, but he knows that his comrades are with him!
"Andre, steady, I can see you." At this time, the regiment commander set up a plane and rushed all the way at 3 times the speed of sound, and finally saw him.
"It's the same as flying instruments at night, steady." The regimental commander was comforting him.
As a qualified pilot, you have to fly through complex weather at night, and just like driving at night, you can't see anything in the distance, it's all black, but at least you can see the instruments.
And now, Andrei can't see anything, his world has turned black, only the radio sound in the headphones, only the bump of the seat, which makes him feel the communication with the world.
The regimental commander flew alongside, prompting Andrei's various actions, and slowly, slowly, flew to Sokolovka.
All the people were in the apron area, looking at the fighter planes, ambulances, and fire trucks flying in the sky, and they were also started on the side, ready at any time.
"With a slope, the course is correct."
"Lower the height, there are about fifty meters left."
"Push the lever forward a little bit, okay."
"Squeak!" The wheels finally made contact with the ground, and everyone's hearts relaxed.
The MiG-25 continued to slide forward, and after three hundred meters, the front landing gear also fell.
"Put the parachute and get ready to hit the brakes."
The regimental commander flew low over the airfield, made three turns, and was ready to land again when he was ready to do the second.
The MiG-25 came to a steady stop, and everyone gathered around.
"Andrey, Andrey, how are you?"
"Andrei, you still can't see anything?"
"Let's go, let's go." By this time, the ambulance had already started.
With the support of several people, Andre came down from the ladder, and his surroundings were still dark: "Don't worry, everyone, I'm fine." ”
"Oh, God." At this time, the crew member Victor exclaimed.
In the last sortie, due to the vibration of the cannon, there was damage at the wing roots on both sides, which was later repaired by electric welding, and this time when I went up and continued to fire, the crack at the wing root was even greater, almost extending to two-thirds of the way!
Perhaps, if you fly some more distance, the wing will fall off!
This sortie was simply a life-and-death adventure, the pilots died nine times in their lives, and the fighters also went through hardships.
