There are three types of air-to-air missiles, but there are no means to counter the "flanker", which seems to be absurd, in fact, it is not surprising at all.

Among the airborne air-to-air weapons of the F-14 fighter, first take a look at the AIM-54C "Immortal Bird", this missile has a long enough range and is also ARHM, but the usable overload of the maximum 17~22G is really not ideal, especially in the initial stage of the thruster burning violently and the ballistic speed is fast, and it is simply powerless to resist high-maneuvering targets such as the Su-27M2.

AIM-7M "Sparrow", a semi-active radar-guided missile, not to mention the need for a carrier aircraft to provide irradiation all the time after launch, is useless in the face of the Longyun landline aircraft mounted with a "Kirilenko oven".

Finally, the infrared-guided AIM-9L "Sidewinder", as a kind of close-range combat projectile, has a naturally short range, and often can only be launched in the rear hemisphere of the target, when both sides are in the high subsonic range, the tail pursuit range will even shrink to two or three thousand meters, with the speed of the white No. 20, the "Tomcats" who have an advantage in the lift-to-drag ratio and are crushed by the SEP have been trying their best, but they have not been able to catch the opportunity to fire.

The radar officers of the VF-21 squadron tried to use the infrared tracking system under the nose of the "Tomcat" to capture the front-line fighters, but the locks occurred frequently, the on-board fire control computer rarely gave "can fire" prompts, and the RWR and IFF identification prompts in the cockpit sounded frequently, and the frightened pilots shouted to each other, trying to coordinate to beat the damn "Sea Guard" down. At least get it out of the airspace.

In the sky, faint bright spots dragged white tracks past. If you look up, you can see that it is the tail flame of a large group of KSR-5 liquid rocket engines that have climbed to a height of more than 30,000 meters. Make Americans even more upset.

Witnessing rows of missiles passing overhead, the sea and air knights of the "Free Lancers" were worried for a while, and the exclamations of their comrades suddenly sounded again; Shocked by the word "sickle", and looking at them from the cockpit, these pilots, who had just been aggressive, suddenly realized that the gray-white Russian plane was not a "sea guard" at all, and the color of the paint was not right at all. The huge red star on the back of the fuselage is faintly visible.

"Scythe", NATO's code name for the "Caucasus Reaper"!

The sudden appearance of Viktor Rezenov was like a thunderclap. Leaving the VF-21 squadron in complete disarray.

Trump, even a trump card with great achievements, even in the face of a powerful and invincible opponent, the "Tomcat" fleet of the United States would not be so panicked; But. It's different from the USAF, which was mentally prepared and risked death to take off to fight. The young men on duty in the vast ocean, including the commanders of squadrons, wings, and even the entire fleet, would never have imagined that the murderous "White Reaper" who was simply out of hell would suddenly appear in the sky over the boundless Pacific Ocean, fly a demonic Sukhoi fighter, and launch an attack on the US Navy's air defense circle.

No, it can't be, a "flanker" of the Russian Air Force. This-

Panicked, with a blank brain, from the VF-67 squadron of the USS "Kennedy". This battleground force, which had previously participated in the Caucasus War and fought against VVS and PVO over Turkey and the Black Sea, although it was on a mission in the western part of the theater and basically encountered the terrible "Grim Reaper", the shadow of Viktor Rezenov had already enveloped the entire Western world, and the American pilots and commanders on the front line of the war were certainly not spared.

As soldiers, and a long-altitude elite of the United States, the pilots of the VF-21 "Free Laners" are of course courageous and skillful, and will never give in to any enemy.

But in the face of the "Grim Reaper", in the face of the blood-colored scythe that exudes an icy aura, in the long list of KIA lists slaughtered by this devilish figure in the USAF and even the U.S. Navy statistics, the names of the ace pilots of the United States and the Allies can be seen everywhere, and every record is stained with blood, densely packed, as if it is grinding a chain, consuming the spirit and will of every NATO air crewman.

If you go into battle, not a single person in the VF-21 queue will lack courage, but what if you go to die?

In the face of the "Grim Reaper", if the battle has no meaning, in an instant, he will become a cold record on the long list, and how many people can face such a scene without fear......

Encountering such a strong enemy, he suddenly realized that the "Grim Reaper" was in the air, and the thought of "the Russians playing tricks" flashed, and the friendly fighters burning and falling in the sky had not yet disappeared from sight, and the soldiers of the United States were still fighting hard, but the hands holding the joysticks were a little disobedient.

"Scythe", this is, of course, "Scythe", the terrifying demon who single-handedly rushed to the aircraft carrier battle group and killed three F-14s in a row, who else would there be!

Thinking about who the enemy on the other side was, the unbearable torment almost caused several pilots to collapse on the spot.

The brutal war has been fought for almost a whole year now, and the U.S. Navy with the eagle sail flag flying has fought everywhere for the future and destiny of the United States, and many carrier-based aircraft pilots have made great contributions, including the vice captain of the VF-31 squadron with the fleet, Lieutenant Commander Sean Phelps, and the number one ace of the United States Navy with more than 20 records of down.

However, even so, in the face of the sudden appearance of the "Grim Reaper", the strength of the comrades-in-arms could not suppress the panic of the pilots, Sean Phelps is not in the air now, and even if he is here, an ace who has shot down more than 20 fighters, coupled with the most elite F-14D "Super Cat", can solve the "White Death" in front of him who is driving Sukhoi and rushing to kill, just like a raging hurricane?

More than twenty results, so what?

A large number of fighter souls in the hands of the "Grim Reaper" have exceeded two hundred!

Fear, despair, and perhaps a trace of reluctance and anger were surging and churning in the sky killing fields where fighter planes were flying fast and missiles were plundering, and the heavy fighters of the US Navy were still confronting and chasing the Russian "flankers," but the news of the appearance of the "Grim Reaper" had spread throughout the entire aircraft carrier battle group, and every fleet commander had an unbelievable look on his face.

William Pratt, the supreme commander of the battlefield campaign, saw that the communications non-commissioned officer was still busy in front of the control platform, sending this explosive news to Hawaii, and next to him, a kind of staff and subordinates who had woken up from the shock, and the vice admiral, who was nearly half a hundred years old, did not say a word, his hands clenched into fists, racking his brains to think about the situation of the fleet and the next battle plan of the Russians.

Viktor Rezenov, a trump card in the hands of the Russians, how did he end up here?

Many people are still wondering, or even suspicious, about this question, thinking that the fighters at the front may just guess or misjudge because of mental stress; But for Vice Admiral Pratt, it was clear to him that there was no point in dwelling on this issue, and that the "sea flank" that appeared in the northwest direction of the fleet - or whatever else was the most real threat to the fleet's air defense circle, and that for now, "eliminating the attackers" should be the highest priority.

In addition to this, of course, taking into account the fact that fighters pose no threat to surface ships, this could also be a trick of the Russians.

The air situation message from the "derrick", the "Tomcat" of the VF-21 in front is suffering heavy losses, and the lieutenant general knows that this is a Sukhoi fighter in an air combat state; Then, even if the "Grim Reaper" comes, not to mention how he managed to run into the depths of the ocean, it is impossible for a "flanker" to attack the ship formation of the United States, and the Russians' means of attack will still fall on bombers or surface ships.

"Everyone, don't panic!

There's nothing to be afraid of a 'Flanker' - Stanley, you immediately coordinate the deployment with Walsh, the most important thing now is to intercept the anti-ship missiles of the Russians, and as for the ...... 'Scythe', what can he do when he rushes in?

Befalen, Colonel Walsh, the fleet of the United States has anti-aircraft firepower, and the Russians can't rush it!

The USS Roosevelt just released a batch of fighter jets, didn't he? ”

"Yes, yes, Your Excellency!"

"-Good!

The soldiers ahead are fighting bloodily, but we must be calm, gentlemen!

Now immediately dispatch fighter jets to encircle and suppress the 'Scythe', all the 'Tomcat' fleet must stick to the defensive circle, the cunning Ivans, they are luring the enemy, trying to use a trump card to disrupt our outer defense system, so that those stupid long-range bombers can fish in troubled waters! ”

After experiencing the shock just now, in the fleet command center of the "Roosevelt", all the cadres and others recovered from their confusion and panic, Vice Admiral Pratt's analysis, everyone agreed, and the awe of the "Grim Reaper" seemed to be much less at once, of course, there was a little bit of an element of being in the rear and not having to face to face with that Russian madman, of course those present would not think about it, let alone admit it.

No matter how terrible the "Scythe" is, after all, it will not directly threaten the safety of the aircraft carrier battle group, and it is precisely because of this that Colonel Stanley Cooper asked Colonel Walsh to coordinate a qiē fighter plane in the airspace of the northwest sector, and four F/A-18E/F from the "Flying Angel" squadron to deal with the headache of the Russians, and the rest of the fighters, especially the "Tomcat" fleet, should not be affected by that "Flanker", and all F-14A+/Ds, including the VF-21 "Free Lancer", aimed at the incoming missiles and firedIt is important to shoot these large torches down from the sky to reduce the pressure on the inner defensive ring of the fleet.
