Here Long Yun made up his mind, and the white No. 20 at an altitude of six thousand meters quickly narrowed the distance with the VF-21, and on the two F-14A+ fighters that were pursuing from the air defense circle, the pilot and weapon operation officer were in a hurry, wanting to send this inexplicable "sea guard" back to their hometown as soon as possible.

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, a large wave of "backfire" is approaching, but the number of front-line fighters in the squadron is limited, Jimmy Carter's command is heard on the radio, and the "Tomcat" in the supersonic flight state is still locking on to the enemy in PDSTT mode, ready to enter visual contact after this round of interception, the "allow launch" prompt flashes on the heads-up display, and the two AIM-54Cs are ignited immediately, and the engagement distance has been shortened to 90 kilometers!

Whether or not they can solve the problem of the Russian "flanker" that is obviously not being controlled by a rookie, the US pilots actually have no bottom in their hearts.

In today's battle, the situation is simply the same as the usual anti-air defense, a large number of "backfire" roaring in the night sky, and "Tomcat" fighters are lined up to meet it.

However, compared with the regular action setting of the Russian aircraft group in the exercise, this "sea guard" with unknown intentions is doubly confusing -- according to the exercise and tactical analysis, in order to surprise the aircraft carrier battle group, the Russians should have put in fighter jets first, and then "backfire" when the two sides were twisted and the F-14s were overwhelmed, otherwise it would be not much different from sending them to death. But now what. What is this Russian fighter going to do. Could it be that it has some kind of air-to-air missile with a nuclear charge hanging under its wings?

"The nuclear bomb is cleared, and the backfire is followed", this terrible speculation will make some people shudder.

However, after a brief panic, the pilots quickly calmed down, and Rear Admiral Stanley Cooper, who was in the operations command room of the Theodore Roosevelt, shook his head as if to shake off the speculation, for the simple reason that the Russians had no reason to do so.

If the Russians don't want to fight. Wouldn't it be enough to just nest the fleet in the harbor, as for the start of a naval war and the use of nuclear weapons?

Unlike the trembling front-line combatants, the commander's duty was to consider the problem holistically, and this was the strength of the fleet staff officer Cooper, who was as suspicious of his subordinates as Joseph and others in Hawaii, because the generals knew very well how the current situation of the war was unfavorable to the United States, and it was not the Russians who were eager to regain confidence with a victory, but the Americans themselves.

Let's take a look at the current situation of naval and air warfare. The two sides also attacked and defended each other, and the guys who raided the main forces of the Russian surface ships from the west reported. The "Sea Guards" encountered were about a dozen aircraft, that is, the size of a squadron.

Regarding the size of the Russians' carrier-based aircraft, Rear Admiral Cooper, of course, has studied it, and the opponent has dispatched two "Tbilisi" class aircraft carriers this time, although the Russians' half-hung aircraft carriers cannot be compared with the "Nimitz" class of the United States, but how can it be said that there will be at least four squadrons of "sea guards" available, so that the cunning Ivan has not made all his efforts, but has reservations?

Since there is such a suspicion, coupled with the latest information from the Pacific Command, the bombers deployed by the Russians in the Far East have almost poured out, and at least three squadrons of "backfire" have left the base.

So the situation is very clear, no matter what tricks these cunning guys want to play, the "Backfire" fleet that is attacking in the 320 direction, a "flanker" will not be able to do anything, they must have a backhand!

Realizing that the first wave of the Russians' bombers was just a bluff, Stanley Cooper turned his head and asked Vice Admiral Pratt what he meant, and the vice admiral, who was staring at the chart with light blue eyes, was silent, listened to the analysis of the rear admiral's staff, and immediately ordered CVN-71 to release half more squadron of "Tomcats", and at the same time put the air defense forces of the whole fleet on heightened alert.

Yes, Stanley's analysis makes sense; Since the Russians are ready to fight it out, it is impossible for the "backfire" to be so much!

Just as the 22nd Red Flag Bomber Aviation Regiment was getting closer and closer, and the Tu-22M3s were flying to Mach 1.4 at an altitude of 11,000 meters, the other three bomber regiments from the Soviet Far East base also flew to the theater one after another.

This arrangement of the Red Navy seems to be quite a mistake, but it also marks the adjustment and change of the operational thinking of "saturation attack."

Long-range bombers against aircraft carrier battle groups, in accordance with the "saturation attack" strategy proposed by Admiral Sergei Georgievich Gorshkov, refers to concentrating a sufficient number of missile launch platforms, including bombers, surface warships, and missile submarines, at the same time to aim at the same batch of targets in a salvo, the main purpose is to "choke" the Americans and make the number of missiles exceed the combat capability of the aircraft carrier battle group's air defense system.

This strategy is of course an effective method when the strength of the Red Navy is not yet capable of all-out confrontation with the US Navy, and the threat of the opponent's aircraft carrier is very severe.

The problem lies in the fact that, after all, the Americans are not fools, and it is impossible for them to let a fleet stay where it stands to withstand the intensive bombardment of anti-ship missiles, but they will push the air defense circle out as much as possible and dispatch a large number of carrier-based aircraft to stop the activities of the Red Navy's surface warships and bombers at the same time.

Therefore, the so-called "saturation attack" strategy, statically speaking, is a powerful strike strategy, but when it is actually implemented, it will inevitably have to pay a considerable price to achieve.

In the case of the backwardness of the Red Navy's strength, it is probably also a helpless move, and now there is not much difference between the naval and air forces of the two sides in the contest, and the Supreme Command and General Staff of the Red Empire will no longer mechanically implement this strategy, but will arrange more complex coordinated tactics, disrupt the combat rhythm of the Americans through a series of limited sorties and feints on air platforms, and then seek an opportunity to swing a heavy punch to knock the opponent down.

In this strategy, Long Yun, who is located on the Northern Front, has a very important mission with his White Twentie, but on the other hand, it is too risky to bet on the victory or defeat of the battle on one person's performance, so in the battle plan of the Far Eastern Theater Command, the number one trump card of the Red Air Force is not regarded as the only peak, but a plan is drawn up at his discretion, leaving enough room for action for Viktor and his White Twentie.

In this way, even if this super killer only cares about slashing enemy planes and not cooperating with friendly forces, he will not let the overall operation of the Red Navy fall into chaos.

Of course, if the "White Reaper" can really do what he says and turn the Americans' fleet air defense system upside down, the Tu-22M3 will be able to drive straight into the delivery of missiles, not only will the Americans be sent to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish, but the boys of the Red Navy will also be able to avoid a lot of sacrifices, then of course it will be better!

Success or failure, the radio silence continued, and only Long Yun knew the answer to this question best.

Dodging incoming missiles, and then launching two R-77s to start a counterattack, the Su-27M2, which continued to maneuver to avoid the irradiation of the "Tomcat" radar, soon encountered the second wave of "immortal birds" shooting, at the same time, the flat slit antenna of the N011 radar is also constantly swinging, following the irradiation method of the original Su-27M fire control process, using the cone scanning method to sweep the designated airspace again and again, and the two R-77s that broke through the air changed their trajectory under the prompt of the mid-course correction command.

The engagement process is still the same as the old-fashioned, but unlike the R-27R semi-active radar-guided missile, when it is less than 20 kilometers away from the target, the carrier aircraft no longer needs to provide continuous irradiation for it successively, but simply ends the midcourse guidance and enters a sharp turn against the ARHM.

Against the "immortal bird" that started the self-homing head, Long Yun's heart flashed over the distance and velocity vector number of the F-14 like lightning.

When he guided the two R-77s to intercept enemy planes, he calculated in his heart at what distance the two "Tomcats" of the US Navy fired a missile, how far the "Immortal Bird" was still from him, and from what direction the AIM-54B/C thrusters and launch conditions should come from.

In a flash of lightning, it was only a matter of seconds for the missile to fly from the edge of the sky to the front, flying towards the faintly bright sky, Long Yun, who could not see the incoming missile, only heard the sharp sound of the RWR, there was only one radiation source, and the direction was just as he expected.

Since you guessed correctly, you don't need to evade it next, just open afterburner and fight with your opponent!

Piloting the plane head-on into the sky with a vote of F-14 fighters, Long Yun's maneuver evasion was not completely based on the set of confrontation against airborne radar scanning, he speculated early on that the opponent would use a straight trajectory and directly guide the "immortal bird" to intercept him, and the maneuver he made was also very targeted; As a result, the missiles hit by the two U.S. Navy fighters, one directly accepted the drag of the carrier aircraft's radar unlocking, and the self-homing head did not find the target after turning on, so it waited to fall and self-destruct, and the other although it barely found the target, the place was twisted, and the tail deflected to the largest heavy throwing gun flew out of a high overload of 19G, but it was still completely unable to catch up with the flexible body of the Red Star Giant Bird.

The interception and counterattack in the night sky, in an instant, the white No. 20, who had dodged two waves of "immortal birds", approached the VF-21 squadron, and the two sides saw that they were about to enter into visual contact, and the feelings of the Americans fluctuated violently all of a sudden.
