Although the distance is too far to distinguish the specific model, but now Long Yun doesn't care about these guys.

The value of these NATO escort fighters near the early warning aircraft is not "close rescue" and the scene of sacrificing themselves to block missiles that can only appear in film and television works, but can quickly respond to the interception call of the "watchtower" and provide them with a broader visual air situation warning by the way.

However, at such a distance, the MiG-29 with gray matte paint was close to the floating clouds, and the Longyun twin planes kept the radio silent, he did not think that the opponent could visually discover his presence without warning, and as for the use of airborne radar, it was even more unreliable, and those fighters accompanying the early warning aircraft would also draw circles in the sky and use radar to scan the surrounding airspace over and over again -- this is of course impossible, and in the vicinity of the "watchtower" of course, it is counting on early warning aircraft, who would think that their airborne radar is better than AN/ APY-1 can see further!

But even so, after staring at the target for a few seconds at eye distance, Long Yun still felt a faint threat, and he knew that they couldn't get any closer.

Observing an E-3A early warning aircraft within visual distance, this strange scene was the first time Long Yun had experienced it in his life.

Not only that, but after staring at the black and white target in the cockpit for a moment, he couldn't help but think that the pilot who witnessed the enemy's "watchtower" in the parallel world, I am afraid that he and the wingman are still the first and second.

Come to think of it, in the several local wars that have broken out in recent decades, the Americans have never encountered a single opponent even decent, and the E-3A's mission execution process is not much different from a vacation trip; But now. The stealth MiGs who were tricked by two soldiers flew around the rear hemisphere. The "watchtower" under the gaze of Long Yun's sharp eyes. The tragic fate that followed was firmly sealed.

The target has not yet been detected, the escort aircraft has not moved for the time being, the estimated distance is 30 kilometers, and the track angle is kept at 45 degrees, which has met the launch conditions of the R-27EP!

Flying so close to the "watchtower," the two MiGs facing the radar scanning beam in the front hemisphere tried their best to adjust their flight attitude and avoid being discovered by the early warning planes flying straight away. Take a deep breath and quickly set the approximate ballistic parameters of the R-27EP, then give time to your partner, who may be a little slower. Long Yun saw that the wingman had also made a similar wing swing, and knew that this young man had also completed the parameter assembly, so he raised his index finger and landed on the missile launch button, and after a pause, he pressed the button.

The moment his fingers moved, Long Yun, who was concentrating on observing the enemy's situation, was a little distracted, he thought that this was not only his first attack on the AWACS aircraft, but also the first time that a fighter in the parallel world opened the magazine to launch an attack - but just when he was stunned, he only felt that the fighter plane jumped up slightly, and then recovered steadily, and the gray-white R-27EP had already dragged a large cloud of smoke to burst out.

In the sky, the only missile was launched almost simultaneously. The belly magazines of the two MiG-29N fighters opened and closed at once, and the two "cross axes" with sharp wings were thrown off the pylons and immediately ignited and flew through the air. Soon a large cloud of white smoke was left in sight.

Compared with ordinary over-the-horizon missiles, the R-27 series missiles have a larger diameter and more obvious launch indications, and the two white smoke that suddenly appear in the sky are quite conspicuous against the background of a large gray cloud, and may be detected by the enemy even at a long distance; However, after the missile was launched, the two MiGs that had completed their mission did not turn around and break away, but continued to maintain the established course and continued to follow almost as if they were watching the excitement behind the "watchtower."

Yes, even if the arrow is off the string, turning around and running away may attract the attention of the AWACS aircraft and introduce more variables into this assassination, which is not the result that Long Yun wants.

After the missile was launched, he watched the show all the way, and Long Yun almost fearlessly followed the "watchtower" in the distant sky for more than ten seconds, and saw that the two missiles had completely disappeared from sight, so he pressed the slope to one side, and then rolled around twice, signaling the wingman to follow him away.

Just when the two MiGs completed the surprise attack and turned around and left in the sky, the US military fleet, which had been kept in the dark, finally realized that the situation was a little abnormal.

Piloting the F-15C fighter to follow the "watchtower" flight, the pilot on the escort plane had been boredly looking at the sky ahead, paying attention to the air situation instructions from the early warning plane, he completely unconsciously glanced at the sky, but found that there were two small dots of white smoke in the sky drifting sideways in the field of vision.

What could that be, friendly fighters from other directions?

It was clear that it was the storage of missiles, but in the eyes of the pilots, there was no way to immediately distinguish the distance, and it was difficult to make a judgment at the first time, and when the wide-eyed Americans suddenly realized that they should be two missiles, it was already too late:

"'Torch', 'Torch', a suspected missile projectile has been found on your left!

Oh my God, it's, it's a missile—"

Before the words fell, the frightened pilot saw that the missile suddenly became larger in his line of sight, and the gray-white arrow with a speed of more than Mach 2 swept through his line of sight, almost making it impossible for his eyes to follow.

But it was already too late.

In the face of the R-27EP missiles that broke through the sky, the E-3A "watchtower" cruising in the sky would have had a chance to escape this catastrophe, or at least theoretically.

Soaring in the air on the "watchtower" with a wide fuselage and a smooth flight, the air pressure in the early warning cabin, which was maintained at an altitude of 9,000 meters, was still good, the radar controller in the seat did not notice anything unusual in the sky at first, and the normal AN/APY-1 radar did not detect the two MiGs climbing from the rear and attacking from the side.

Maintaining its usual patrol status, the E-3A made a U-turn over the western Turkish city of Konya and turned eastward, with fighter pilots accompanying the escort in the vicinity reporting "normal air conditions."

Standing in the sky over Asia Minor, where the weather is getting worse and the clouds are thick, overlooking the earth from a cruising altitude of nearly 10,000 meters, the huge antenna erected in the back half of the "watchtower" fuselage is still rotating smoothly, scanning all the targets in the surrounding sky at a rate of ten seconds per week; Under the sweep of the AN/APY-1, which has a powerful aperture and power, it seems that any aircraft within hundreds of kilometers can not be hidden, and more than half of the duty time of radar controller Dirk Bogard has passed, and he now only feels a little tired and his concentration is not as concentrated as usual.

At this moment, with the flashing lights on the control platform and a slight prompt sound, the controller found a new target prompt on the radar display, and he blinked in confusion.

At this time, the system prompts that a second target has been found, and at the same time, the number of targets that have just been scanned is left on the display.

Seeing the two targets that appeared at once, in the direction of the left rear flank, about 13 kilometers away from the early warning plane, the controller's first reaction was "something is wrong with the system" -- because he had just seen very clearly that in the vast sky of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers monitored by the E-3A, every target in the surveillance sector, whether it was friend or foe, had been captured and tracked by the airborne information processing equipment, and there was nothing abnormal around the early warning plane at all, and the radar echoes of the accompanying fighter planes were also because of the speed and the "watchtower" Exactly the same and filtered out, so the area near the center of the screen is obviously empty.

But now, the sudden appearance of the target can probably only be explained as a detection error of the system?

After a few seconds of fluting in his seat, Dirk Bogard wanted to turn on the channel and ask if the terrestrial radar network in the nearby area had found anything abnormal, and felt that it seemed like a superfluous move.

After taking the sticky note next to him, the captain was already ready to record the situation, and then investigate the reason in detail after the end of the cruise mission, and felt that it was better to wait a little longer, after all, the target information refresh rate of the "big disk" radar was only six times per minute, and if the next radar signal was refreshed, the target of these two unknown models was still in the field of vision, and it would not be too late to record?

In just a few seconds of waiting time, the huge disc radome with a diameter of nine meters slowly rotated, swept the rear direction again, and obtained the processing system that determined the scanning information and refreshed the control display, Bogard saw these two targets again, and the signal strength increased significantly; Not only that, the rangefinder scan has returned the target velocity, and the conversion value is close to three times the speed of sound, which makes the captain raise his eyebrows in surprise.

Oh my God, this can't be!

Suddenly, one thing came to mind, such a fast target must not be an airplane, the "unknown model" screening prompt stung the captain's eyes, it must be an incoming air-to-air missile!

Just when the controller was dumbfounded, the missiles in the vast sky were still flying vigorously, and the radar ranging showed that the distance between the two targets had become less than six thousand meters, and Dirk Bogard was shocked into a cold sweat in an instant, although he knew that the "watchtower" would turn on the alert system in the war zone and automatically try to jam the approaching air-to-air missiles, but this thing was always just a decoration, and it had never been used even once in actual combat.

Oh my God, can that thing protect against missiles! (To be continued......)
