Chapter 243: Killer Feature
At this time, the E-3 AWACS aircraft has completed its turn to the south, accelerated to escape, and the four hanging engines are roaring, but unfortunately, the foundation of the congenital airliner limits its speed not too fast, and it seems that it has no possibility of escaping under the pursuit of the MiG-25.
At this moment, around it, the four fighters escorting the escort pounced fiercely, trying to intercept the incoming planes. For escort fighters, after discovering a threat, it must be intercepted as soon as possible.
At this time, they faithfully carried out their mission, wanting to intercept the MiG-25.
This scene was also displayed on the screen of the Tomcat fighter, and Lieutenant Gus, who was in the back seat, immediately sent a message to Nathan: "Lone Ranger, the escort of the AWACS four fighters, pounced. ”
Hearing this, Nathan was stunned for a moment, and then scolded: "Idiot! ”
When the MiG-25 soared into Mach 2.5 and exceeded 20,005 altitudes, what did you F-4 fighters rely on to intercept other people's planes?
Your task is to escort, escort!
"Immediately adjust the radio to the Air Force system." Nathan said.
In this era, all radios in the United States have been improved into frequency-hopping stations, which can constantly jump to different frequency bands according to pre-designed rules, so that the radio interference of the other party will fail, and in the absence of a corresponding receiver, it is simply garbled and disorganized.
The Navy has the Navy's frequency hopping law, the Air Force has the Air Force's frequency hopping law, and the radio systems of the Navy and the Air Force are not connected to each other at all in peacetime, and both sides are proud.
And now, Nathan can no longer care about the dirty affairs between the Navy and the Air Force, if the E-3 AWACS aircraft is successfully attacked by the other side, it will definitely be a loss for the entire United States.
With that in mind, Nathan had to communicate with the Air Force.
"It's been dialed." Gus said.
"E-3 AWACS aircraft, E-3 early warning aircraft, here is the US Navy Lone Ranger, here is the US Navy Lone Ranger, immediately withdraw back the escort fighters, immediately transfer back the escort fighters."
Nathan shouted over the radio.
A little later, the voice of the commander of the AWACS aircraft was heard inside: "Why? ”
"Because they can't intercept the MiG-25, their task is not to intercept the MiG-25, but to intercept the missiles launched by the MiG-25." Nathan said.
At such a time, the commander of the AWACS aircraft did not have such awareness, it was really bad! Nathan couldn't help but want to scold them, and he still didn't fight the words here.
Idiot, what is the mission of the escorted F-4 fighters? At a critical time, give the AWACS as a backdrop! Blocking the path of AWACS aircraft and missiles, use themselves to protect AWACS aircraft.
As a soldier, you must have the consciousness of being willing to die at any time, and as an escort aircraft, you must have this spirit!
Could it be that they are panicking and can't even think of this?
Nathan couldn't help but sneer, the Air Force, it's really bad.
After hearing Nathan's explanation, the commander inside the AWACS aircraft understood: "Call the escort fighters immediately and continue to fly with us, in the rear of our route." ”
So, the F-4 escort aircraft, which had just left the AWACS aircraft for less than a few kilometers, began to turn again.
They are all American pilots, escorting AWACS aircraft, and they are not worried about the level of pilots in island countries.
"The MiG-25 fleet is starting to return!" Just then, Gus shouted again.
The Tomcat fighter, the powerful AG-9 radar, is equivalent to a small AWACS aircraft, vigilantly watching the airspace ahead, and now, they have made a new discovery.
Those MiG-25 fleets, after continuing to fly south for dozens of kilometers, began to return home.
"They're running out of fuel." Nathan said.
Belenko, who defected to the island country, brought the MiG-25, and at the same time, the United States also carefully studied the data of the MiG-25, and now, Nathan is also quite familiar with this fighter.
This kind of plane, although it can fly quite high and fast, will also consume fuel at an alarming rate, as the Soviets are now flying like this, that is, just leaving the fuel for cruising back.
They flew all the way over Hokkaido just to get rid of their own AWACS aircraft?
After their AWACS aircraft leave, then they can gain a local advantage in the battle over Hokkaido? After all, American pilots are used to fighting under the command of AWACS, and the Soviets are not.
No, this doesn't work, the E-3 AWACS aircraft has a powerful radar, and the search distance is very long, even if it is driven away, you can continue to command!
"No, they have one left, and this plane is the real offensive force!"
It is clear that it will not be the MiG-25, but the MiG-31! Only the MiG-31 will not be afraid of fuel consumption to the point that it will not be able to return, because people use turbofan engines!
Nathan has already understood: "E-3 AWACS Attention, this is a Lone Ranger, the other side has one plane left, this plane may be a modified aircraft of the Soviets, it may launch missiles at a longer distance, please be prepared." ”
Nathan had to sound the alarm, after all, if it was an ordinary MiG-25, the range of the missile would be too close, but the MiG-31 was different, theoretically, it could also be sniped from a distance of a hundred kilometers!
"It's accelerating, it's definitely preparing for the launch of missiles!" Gus said.
"Guth, prepare to launch the undead birds." Nathan shouted to Gus.
"But it's too far away for us to attack this MiG-25." Gus shouted.
Now, Nathan's Tomcat fighter, the MiG-25, and his own E-3 AWACS aircraft form exactly the three vertices of a triangle.
Nathan's Tomcat fighter is still 100 kilometers away from his AWACS aircraft, the MiG-25 is 200 kilometers away from the AWACS aircraft, and Nathan's MiG-25 is more than 200 kilometers away, which is not an equilateral triangle.
If you want to attack the MiG-25 with an immortal bird, you can't, although you can turn around now and pounce on the MiG-25, but it's too late, at that time, the other side has already launched missiles!
"The target is not the MiG-25, it's the missiles it launched." Nathan said, "Have faith? ”
Confident? Hell yes, now, who has ever shot down a missile with a missile?
But now, if you're not confident, you have to give it a try! After all, when using an immortal bird to hit a target, the size of the target is actually about the same as a missile, but the target has a signal amplifier on it.
Have faith!
"Yes!" Gus shouted, and he switched to radar mode, ready to guide the undead birds.
