In that case, what could be more effective than stabbing the E-3A in a row and making the enemy feel that "the chain of command is in danger"?

Long Yun didn't think so, so he planned his actions very quickly.

In the sky where enemy planes are everywhere and they are on heightened vigilance, this strategy does not guarantee the absolute safety of the MiG-29N by advancing to meet the enemy under the cover of dark clouds. After the first day of combat operations, the offensive intentions of the Long Yun twin planes were now more obvious, and after taking off, he led his wingman to infiltrate southward along a sparsely distributed route of enemy aircraft, during which he also encountered a dark gray F-16 "Fighting Falcon"; Without hesitation, he used his consciousness to infiltrate and interfere with the consciousness of the pilot in this lone enemy plane, and Long Yun immediately approached with his wingman.

When the tracks of the enemy and us were staggered, Long Yun slightly pressed the lever, pulled the trigger, knocked out one wing of the "Fighting Falcon" with a sharp aerial gun shot, and then continued to move forward without the slightest hesitation.

Along the way, they easily solved the chance encounter with enemy planes, and infiltrated into the medium-altitude airspace close to the "watchtower" without danger, and the MiG-29N twin planes climbed all the way up and launched missiles to attack; However, when the pilot came to his senses and called the E-3A in the sky to evade it immediately, he realized that the Russians must have used anti-radiation guided missiles, but the "watchtower" had no time to cut off the high voltage on the radar and shut down the aircraft to avoid the missiles.

So naturally, another tragedy was staged in the sky, and the "watchtower", which was fighting with the deformation of its wings and the sideways rotation of the positive pressure slope, dodged the first missile, but was blown up by the second. Although it did not turn into a flaming torch directly in the sky. but rushed out of the runway when he barely returned to the forced landing. In the end, it turned into a pile of metal wreckage that could not be repaired.

For two consecutive days, two "watchtower" early warning planes on mission were attacked and fell, and the impact on NATO's tactical air force and even the entire Middle East theater was as strong as a earthquake.

Although the so-called war is a competition for the comprehensive strength of both sides, it has to be said that mentality and emotion are also very important, and the so-called "human factor" probably includes this; However, after the loss of two E-3A/B early warning planes in succession and the warplanes that lost their unified command were violently beaten by the Warsaw Pact, the mentality of NATO's front-line fighters on the long southern front, especially the tactical air force pilots, changed, and more and more people passively avoided the war or made combat mistakes.

The reason for this. The United States, which has deep pockets, will naturally not be greatly damaged by two "watchtowers", which is far from being an unbearable price for the UASF.

However, compared with the early warning planes that are easy to replenish, what really caused a deep rift in this sneak attack incident was precisely the belief that the NATO bloc relied on to unite and defeat the enemy, that is, "the United States is invincible in the air force in the world and its integrated air command system is as solid as a rock"; For many years, it is precisely under the guidance of this absolute conviction that the NATO bloc, or the United States, has fought in one local war after another, flaunted its might, solved many thorny problems and "disobedient people" by force, and smeared the tip of the gun with the blood of innocent people again and again. Intimidate all other countries that disagree with it.

Follow the path of the supremacy of force, even in this sudden outbreak of world war. Despite the repeated setbacks of the NATO bloc in Central Europe and the quagmire in the Caucasus, few people have ever really considered the possibility of defeat, not even the slightest thought.

But today, the burning "watchtower" has fallen from the sky, and every qiē has changed imperceptibly.

Having lost absolute trust in something, and suddenly finding themselves in a battlefield in the sky is not safe, the mentality of NATO's front-line combatants will inevitably change.

The continuous replenishment of weapons, equipment and logistics materials can support the continuous operation capability of the NATO coalition forces, but it cannot restore the confidence of personnel in a short period of time. In the face of the Warsaw Pact army fighting at home and with a momentum that is bound to break, the two sides are still fighting on the battlefield and are inseparable, but it is obvious that they can distinguish the superiority and inferiority of momentum. In the past few days, Turkey, which has fallen into a furious Slavic assault, has turned into a burning purgatory full of smoke and fire, and exhausted NATO soldiers are struggling in a hail of bullets, rolling in rugged and treacherous positions, and their dusty faces are filled with despair and deeper despair.

The gradual reversal of the strategic shape was soon reflected on the 2,000-kilometer-long front, and once the winner or loser of the war shifted, it was difficult to change again, and the Caucasus, which had been bogged down in a tug of war for several months, was already showing signs of a broken bamboo.

Having been hit hard by "anti-radiation missiles" and "stealth assassins" one after another, its momentum and combat strength are constantly falling, and although NATO's tactical air force has done its best, it can only barely support the war situation, and not only is it unable to provide much air support for the ground forces to survive, but it is often powerless to even maintain air supremacy at the very least.

In this favorable situation, with the full support of the VVS, the "Rostov-on-Don" Front of the Soviet Red Army, as well as more follow-up units, moved south along the two flanks of the Transcaucasus, like a flood across the rolling mountains, and formed unprecedented strategic pressure on Turkey from the east; At the same time, the "Constantine" Front, which launched an attack in the direction of the Turkish Straits also marched all the way, and the NATO defense forces were defeated one after another, and the pressure from the west was also unprecedentedly strong, leaving Turkey, an important NATO ally, vulnerable to the enemy.

Seeing the ruins of the land that has become a battlefield along the borders, the domestic pressure on the Ankara regime is also increasing, and a political storm that has swept through Asia Minor has been surging in the country.

The Americans, who were in an unfavorable situation and were wolf-baffled, were planning a total retreat from the Muslim country, and this abandonment of allies naturally caused widespread discontent among the Turks; Especially at a time when the Warsaw Pact offensive is raging, it has to retreat from Asia Minor to the Middle East, which cannot help but make people wonder, how long can NATO hold out in the hinterland of the Middle East, which has only Israel and the puppet Iraq, can hold out?

As the Warsaw Pact iron flow rolls south, the answer to this question will soon be revealed.

However, for Long Yun, who has always been concerned about the situation on the front line and also expects the Eastern Bloc to make a contribution in the southern theater, he can only keep an eye on the battle situation report now, and will not participate in the next Middle East battle for the time being.

On the third day after the MiG-29N took off and shot down two E-3A early warning planes, Long Yun, who left the Bugas Air Base early in the morning, got into a silver Dacia car and boarded a special passenger train bound for Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, at the railway station, where he was ready to take a direct flight to Moscow on a civilian airliner.

After several days of fighting in Bugas, during which he shot down dozens of NATO fighters, including two "watchtowers" of great value and significance, Long Yun received a call from Moscow after the successful assassination operation, presumably because the high command thought that the general trend of the Southern Theater had been decided, and that this super air killer could be temporarily recalled from the front line, and by the way, he could also carry out the promotion procedure of the lieutenant general of the aviation corps and the award ceremony of the "Hero of the Soviet Union".

While the war was still going on, he quietly left from the front line, and Long Yun had no opinion on this arrangement.

After NATO's "Typhoon" operation was launched, after a series of thrilling and exciting battles in the sky, Long Yun's mission in the southern theater was basically completed, and the southward movement of the Warsaw Pact army was almost a foregone conclusion; At a time when NATO is constantly retreating, it probably doesn't need much of his super ace to make a move.

And in recent days, the KGB has also received some information, NATO intelligence organizations have learned that it was Viktor Rezenov who piloted a "certain type of stealth fighter" to raid the E-3A "watchtower", and now a large number of spies are operating in a big way, trying to assassinate this "Caucasian Grim Reaper"; There was also a wave of stealth attack planes that raided the Stavropol base in the north before, which showed that the enemy jumped over the wall in a hurry because of the defeat, and the movement became increasingly chaotic and crazy.

Before leaving Bugas, Long Yun made some tactical arrangements, and he told Mi Pattern to temporarily put the two MiG-29N fighters into storage for maintenance and not to make unauthorized moves.

Because he knows very well that the sneak attack on the "watchtower" requires not only a stealth fighter and an S-band R-27EP anti-radiation missile, but also his consciousness to snoop to ensure the safety of the round trip, which is not something that ordinary pilots of the Red Air Force can do, and once there is a mistake, it will cause unnecessary casualties.

Of course, even if it is temporarily inconvenient to use the MiG-29N, he did not intend to give the Americans a chance to breathe, so he deliberately called the headquarters and put some MiGs on the front line that changed their livery style and imitated the appearance and engagement mode of the MiG-29N, and frequently infiltrated and raided NATO fighter interception lines in the high southern theater, making a brave posture of wanting to assassinate the "watchtower" in order to disrupt NATO's air deployment and overall operational planning.

Let the gray-lived, radar-silent MiGs appear in the air, if nothing else, at least to scare the NATO pilots who have become frightened birds; In addition, even if these fighters occasionally miss and fall into the hands of the enemy, it will increase the confusion of NATO intelligence officers, which can be regarded as a good smokescreen.

The so-called "soldiers do not tire of deceit" and the tactical cunning arrangement are not so true and false. (To be continued......)
