Chapter 1282: Tomcat's Sneak Attack

As long as he listened to the "Didi" sound of the alarm instrument, Cheng Dรน probably guessed that these "bumblebees" that came over were already very close, probably more than 20 kilometers away.

In addition to the azimuth information, the light disc also indicates that the irradiation source is in the lower hemisphere of the landline, according to the tail pursuit range of the "Slammer", considering that it is at an altitude of about 10,000 meters at the moment, Long Yun realized that his white No. 20 is almost at the edge of the attack envelope of the AIM-120B missile, if he has been maintaining a supersonic state and chasing and killing the two kite-flying "Hornets", then the pursuers behind him will not be able to help themselves, but in this way he will be farther and farther away from the battlefield, so-

Oh, and it's not just "Bumblebee", a new tail has appeared behind it!

Piloting the plane all the way to the south, the Su-27M2K has no backward detection means, but a US Navy carrier-based aircraft that turned off the radar and silently approached was still detected by Long Yun, and the shadowless and invisible consciousness was sending out a warning signal, and he turned his head from the cockpit with a good view to look back, and suddenly saw a gray shadow in the sky.

The distance was still far away, and the model could not be seen from the outline, but the snooping of consciousness in the concentrated mental state quickly had an answer, and the young man raised his eyebrows behind the goggles.

It was actually "Phelps", the number one ace of the U.S. Navy, who actually met such a guy?

Sean Phelps, a U.S. Navy pilot who met in the Caucasus and the Black Sea before, and the fierce battles over the dark blue sea only have some ordinary memories in Long Yun's mind, after all, he has experienced countless air battles as Viktor Rezenov, and he will not deliberately remember a battle with nothing special.

However, it is out of the professional habits of pilots, especially ace pilots. In his spare time. Naturally, he has also been paying attention to the elite pilots who emerged from the war. Both the Red Empire and NATO.

Among them, the pilots of the old enemy of the US Navy and Air Force are of course the focus of his attention, so that when encountering NATO Ace in the air, Long Yun can prepare in advance, and after shooting down the enemy, he can also summarize and analyze each battle more objectively, and better grow and sharpen in the flames of war. After all, for Viktor Rezenov, who is so skilled that he is invincible, he can only gain a little bit by confronting the enemy's ace pilots, but as the brutal war progresses, such opportunities are becoming less and less.

In the midst of a world war, from Central Europe and the Caucasus to the Far East, Viktor Rezenov's record continues to climb, and the number of NATO ace pilots shot down is increasing.

But if you really pull it up, most of them are USAF pilots, as well as NATO member states including Erich Rudolph, and there are really few aces of the US Navy - this is also because of the nature of the war, and the U.S. Navy, which is busy dropping bombs on land, does not often participate in air supremacy struggles. The chances of the pilots themselves to set a record are less than those of the USAF, and the number of ace pilots cannot catch up with the latter.

What now. With superpowers to do a little bit of cheating, the name of "Sean Phelps" Long Yun is of course very familiar, he just didn't expect to meet an old rival here.

This guy, belonging to the US Navy VF-11 "Red Boar", was not supposed to be on the CVN-70 "Carl Vinson"?

Spotting a strong enemy in the clear sky, all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, Long Yun looked at the RWR light plate and the direction indication twice, and he knew that this guy's "Tomcat" did not turn on the radar, and also confirmed the information obtained by the snooping of consciousness.

Obviously, the Americans intended to win in the chaos, taking advantage of the harassment of the "Hornet" to approach covertly, and then try to lock themselves with the infrared search device installed under the nose of the F-14D, let the AIM-9L seeker marker on the pylons follow the infrared search probe, and when the plane pursues to a close enough distance, they will fire with the pilot's estimation and fire, and launch a fatal blow in this way without warning.

The radar is set to low detectable modes such as VS and RWS, and with the help of IRST to engage the enemy, this routine is often used in parallel worlds, and it is certainly not difficult to counter.

The use of infrared scanning devices to engage in combat, and the need to send electromagnetic signals of the radar is different, in terms of concealment, of course, the former is much better than the latter, but the problem is that the IRST system can not obtain the target distance, speed and other parameters, if used alone, it cannot support the fire control computer to complete the calculation, in the end when to launch the missile has to be decided by the pilot himself, of course, for Ace, this is not a problem.

Just thinking about it, the control in Long Yun's hand was the same as always, the fast-flying white twenty was always hovering on the edge of the AIM-120B missile attack envelope of the chaser, the "Super Hornets" who were inferior in speed were still climbing, but they couldn't get a real chance to fire, and the VF-31 "Cat Man" squadron F-14D, which was speeding up the pursuit, gradually caught up.

At a speed of nine hundred and fifty knots, the air-tearing "Super Cat" cut into the tail of the "Scythe" along a curved track, and a faint red "Flanker" figure was faintly visible in the line of sight Getting bigger and bigger, Sean Phelps held his breath in the cockpit, his finger was on the launch button, he judged from experience, this has been chased to a distance of less than five kilometers, looking at the appearance of the Russians It seems that he has not yet noticed it, and then as long as he gets closer, he can launch the "Sidewinder"!

Sneaking up on the "Grim Reaper" in the sky and choosing to use AIM-9L for a sneak attack, the lieutenant colonel didn't expect the two "Sparrow" M on the pylons at all, in addition to the weak performance of the missile itself, the SARHM must be turned on the radar to provide irradiation, which is also a defect that is not conducive to sneak attacks.

So now, flying to the high speed of Mach 1.7, the wings are retracted to the maximum sweep angle, the "super cat" in the 10,000-meter sky is like a sharp arrow, the sharp gray heavy arrow penetrates the thin atmosphere, and the rolling detonation spreads behind him, the outline of the target aircraft in the field of vision is becoming clearer and clearer, and he is about to catch up, Lieutenant Colonel Phelps's finger is pressed heavily, and a puff of gray smoke immediately appears next to the aircraft, and the long rod-shaped AIM-9L swoops out!

The missile was launched, and at this time the "flanker" in front had not made any movement, but the next reaction of the "sickle" was unexpected by him, and it also made the sneak attack futile.

Just as the missile flew away from the slide and dragged the bright tail flame forward, in the sight of the lieutenant colonel, the gray and white giant bird that remained in a level flight state suddenly pulled up, and the tail nozzle burst out with a more dazzling light, and the Sukhoi fighter plane that climbed with its head high soon showed a projection angle that was enough to see the red star on its back and the black "2019", and the "super cat" with a high disadvantage was thrown off in a few seconds, and Sean Phelps, who witnessed this scene, immediately secretly shouted "not good".

But, damn it, what a "sneak attack", this guy knew he was behind him from the beginning!

As soon as the missile flew away, the target immediately had a response, to say that a coincidence is of course a bunch of nonsense, Lieutenant Colonel Phelps can see clearly, the "Flanker" fighter plane that has been pulled up is obviously jumping in full afterburner, it is said that this action is a little dead in the face of infrared guided missiles, and the engine nozzle with afterburner is the easiest target for the infrared self-homing head to lock.

However, on the other hand, Phelps, who is experienced in facing the enemy, immediately reacted, the response of the "Scythe" is not only timely, but also a kind of clever trick left and right, this guy calculated that he was in a hurry to fire, or observed that the missile was still far away, and when encountering the tail chase of the "Sidewinder" missile in a supersonic state, as long as he simply climbed with full afterburner, it was impossible for the AIM-9L, whose thruster burned for only three seconds, and for the F-14D, which was not superior in height, Climbing targets are also difficult to reshoot, which is simply the best coping strategy.

A simple lever and throttle push defused a sneak attack, is this the strength of the "Grim Reaper"......

Seeing the red star Sukhoi in his sight climbing higher and higher, subconsciously pulling the lever and entering the climb pursuit, Sean Phelps's thinking was a little stuck, he once again had a not-so-good premonition, in the face of such a strong combat power, in the chaos can still detect the sneak attack, and make the best response to the "Grim Reaper", a sense of powerlessness that he once had reappeared, the lieutenant colonel swallowed a mouthful of saliva laboriously, called his partner Pearson to turn on the radar, set it to melee mode, and prepared to fight the Russian madman.

The strong enemy was in front of him, and the situation fluctuated a little, and the plane continued to climb and tentatively shot two AIM-7M "Sparrows", Phelps unsurprisingly saw two gray-white missiles fall one on the left and one on the right, crookedly, and after witnessing it, he also suspected that the Russians were using some interference measures.

Two AIM-54C, two AIM-7M, over-the-horizon weapons have been launched, and the F-14D fuselage without these cumbersome seems to be a little brisker, and the next high-altitude contest, the VFA-154 squadron fighters who are afraid of IFF mistakes can only wait and see from afar, and do not dare to rashly launch the AIM-120B guided by active radar, the battle has become a heads-up duel like a knightly duel, and the sky is high and the sky is faint, and it has also become a stage for the competition of two twin-engine heavy fighters.

After taking off, he was bent on finding and intercepting the Russian "Scythe", and now he really encountered the terrifying madness Ivan, and the Sean Phelps partner who chased and killed was a little ambitious at first.

The so-called "complacent", the lieutenant colonel may be a strong spirit, and the naturally optimistic Pearson is really not adulterated at all, but once it enters the circled confrontation with the M2K aircraft, the flight performance of the two sides is superior, and the hard-won position advantage of the "Super Cat" gradually disappears, and the ace combination of U.S. Navy soon fell into a bitter battle.
