Chapter 15 Find a civil aircraft as cover

This take-off accident seems to be nothing to Nathan, although it was thrilling, almost the plane was destroyed, but after landing, Nathan didn't care, and actually planned to continue to take off and complete today's subjects.

This won everyone's admiration, but, of course, this was not allowed.

In this kind of situation where a major accident almost occurred, the plane must not continue to fly, and must enter the hangar for inspection, who knows if there are other problems, will the high-speed landing just now cause irreversible mechanical damage to other parts of the aircraft? Only after a specific inspection can it be re-launched.

Therefore, Nathan and Steve were still taken off the plane, and a large group of ground crews came nervously, after all, it was their mistake.

And Emily's eyes were flowing with something more.

"The weather is so good today, it would be a shame if we didn't take off." Nathan said, "Give us another plane." ”

Since this plane is not allowed to fly, then change one, dozens of F-4s in the entire base, just mix up one at will.

"Okay, get a new F-4 ready." General Richard, the commander of the base on the side, shouted that as the host of the home field, of course he should be generous to the guests, and with his order, the ground crew used a tractor to drag out an F-4 that had just completed routine maintenance from the hangar.

"General, I suggest you change it and let the exchange crew drive that 72304?" Emily's voice was not loud, but it embarrassed all the Air Force personnel on the scene.

It was just a single-plane confrontation, and Nathan's crew was going to face the air force crew, Nathan's plane flew first, and the air force crew behind took off later, but Nathan's plane had a problem during takeoff, so the air force crew behind did not take off, and was still in the tarmac.

The fighter of the Air Force crew, numbered 72304, Emily's proposal, also has a deep meaning.

Was the accident just now an accident or a conspiracy? Now, in order to avoid the same situation from happening again, although it is said that as long as the people in the Air Force have brains, they should not do such a thing, who can guarantee that they will not really be that stupid.

So, Emily offered to exchange it, at least the Air Force itself wouldn't harm herself, right?

The base commander's face was first red and then white, cloudy and uncertain, and he was about to suffocate internal injuries.

"No, it's the same with which one we drive." Nathan said: "Since you have chosen to fly, you must have the consciousness of being ready to sacrifice at any time, we have experienced a lot of flight accidents of that level just now, we in the navy, we have never seen any strong winds and waves." ”

After saying that, Nathan took Steve and walked towards the plane that was being towed, took two steps, turned around, and said to Emily, "See you at the bar tonight, celebrate for us!" ”

When Nathan said this, of course, he was 100% sure that his side would definitely succeed in this confrontation.

For these two arrogant naval aviation, the air force present was a little dissatisfied, even angry, this is simply a provocation, but think that they have just completed a take-off and landing with a plane with folding wings, and they do have this capital.

Emily smiled like a flower: "I'll wait for you!" ”

Re-mounted on the plane, Nathan stabilized his mood and continued to prepare for takeoff in an orderly manner.

Although he was very relaxed just now, in fact, he resolved an accident and consumed a lot of Nathan's energy, but because of this accident, Nathan decided to fight for face for the navy.

Let these invincible air forces see who is the elite!

The take-off went smoothly, the plane left the runway with ease, climbed continuously and reached an altitude of 10,000 meters, and then, Nathan set course for the northern airspace of No. 6.

The so-called No. 6 airspace is actually the Arctic Ocean in northern Alaska, where the airspace is clear and can visually detect opponents at the maximum distance, and at the same time, in order to prevent polar bears from launching missiles from the Arctic, a large number of radars are aimed at the North Pole in Alaska.

Their battles, completely exposed to their own radar, can easily determine who has the best tactics.

"Steve, I have an idea." Nathan turned off the external switch, only used the intercom in the plane, and said to Steve: "We can fly on the civil aviation route, it's better to find a civil airliner as a cover and fly under it, so that those guys in the air force can't find us." ”

If you look directly at the world map, you will think that drawing a straight line on this map is the shortest distance, but no long-distance intercontinental route is designed like this.

Because the earth is a sphere, on the earth, the route around the circle with the center of the earth as the center is the shortest, so from North America to Asia, or from Europe to Asia, the shortest "direct distance" route, that is, this "great circle route", will generally pass through the Arctic region.

However, before the 90s, the endurance of ordinary civil aircraft was limited, so many aircraft would stop at Anchorage, Alaska for refueling.

Alaska is also considered a busy route, so by hiding yourself under the airliner, you will be able to hide yourself perfectly, and when the time comes, give the other side a surprise attack!

Discovery is the premise of locking, and if you don't find the target, you can't talk about locking, and now Nathan is fighting this idea.

"Understood, first turn off the friend or foe identifier, and then we turn on the radar, search the surrounding airspace and find the airliner." Steve said, fingers nimbly flicking switches.

First of all, turn off the friend or foe identifier!

When the radar searches for a target, it will send a beam of electromagnetic waves containing the confidence of asking questions, triggering this automatic question answering machine, and the answering machine will return a password containing correct information according to the question, so it will be considered a friendly machine.

In this era, the question and answer machine is not intelligent and will misjudge, so in the skies over Vietnam, although there are over-the-horizon Sparrow missiles, they are required to visually confirm the target before they can do it, and as a result, the range advantage of Sparrow missiles cannot be brought into play.

And now, in order not to be discovered by the other party in the confrontation drill, the first thing to turn off is the friend or foe identifier!

With Steve turned off, only the bright spots of Fighter No. 72304 could be seen on the radar on the ground, and it could no longer be marked as friendly on the screen.

"They're smart." General Richard exclaimed: "Turn off the friend or foe identifier, and next, they want to fly to the civil aviation route, right?" They are destined to be disappointed, though. ”

General Richard, who also worked his way up from the pilots, was familiar with these tactics, and it was up to him to see who played better. Today, this confrontational airspace has been emptied, and there are no passing civil airliners at all.
