In making this decision, especially in a situation where all kinds of intelligence are flying all over the sky and a large number of "backfires" are approaching in the distance, the command ability of the Americans is quite commendable.

Using the "Tomcat" to intercept the "backfire", the US Navy commanders who attach great importance to the air security of the fleet are of course very skilled, this kind of operation is not a simple queue to shoot, but requires the coordination of the entire fleet defense system, and now, the VF-21's outer fighter is attacked by the Russians and cannot complete the multi-target interception, and then we can only hope for the second wave of six F-14s, trying to thwart their attempts before the Russian bombers launch missiles.

The Tu-22M3, perhaps carrying the AS-6 "Kingfish", the Americans do not know the maximum range of this type of missile, or even whether these "Backfires" are mounted on the AS-6.

However, based on the analysis and study of Russian heavy anti-ship missiles, even big metamorphoses such as "kitchens" and "kingfish" with a length of more than 10 meters and like a small airplane have a range of several hundred kilometers only in the case of high ballistics, and the high-flying heavy anti-ship missiles with dull ballistics are not a very difficult target for the F-14.

So now, despite the fact that the squadron of the "Free Lancers" let go of the Russian bombers, William Pratt and others are still calm.

The elimination of Russian bombers has never been the top priority of the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier battle group, for a group of "backfires" that are 650 kilometers away. If you really want to pose a threat to the fleet of the United States, rather than setting off a large number of expensive fireworks in vain. The Ivan still need to continue to penetrate until the distance is reduced to 300 kilometers - that sounds mysterious. But that's exactly what a bunch of think tanks at PACOM said.

It is said that it is only said that those big rockets of the Evil Empire, even if they are "kingfish" and the like, have a range of less than 300 kilometers for low-ballistic attacks; Air-to-ship missiles with high ballistic flight will have a longer range, but they can easily be hit by Tomcats and Aegis, so for now, the dilemma should be on the side of the Russians.

I want to rush in and throw missiles wildly. Yes, but with the interception of the United States F-14, do you have the life to rush to a distance of 300 kilometers!

The thought of the Russian bombers coming in all directions, twenty of which had already been discovered, and there must be more elsewhere, and the existence of a real cold threat, made the enraged Lieutenant General William Pratt look hideous; With three heavy aircraft carriers and 200 fixed-wing planes in hand, he would never show weakness in front of Siberian life, so he quickly rushed to the integrated control platform, patted the sergeant on the shoulder, ordered him to immediately call the "derrick", and ordered all planes to intercept it with all their might. Wipe out all the Russian bombers that rushed at you.

The general's anger was transmitted to the front line through invisible electromagnetic waves. In the face of the roaring "Backfire" fleet, the pilots of the VF-21 are fighting on their own.

Due to the appearance of the spoiler, several F-14A+ planes blocking the front had no time to intercept the fire, and at this time, under the command of Major Jimmy Carter, they were swarming around and beating up, trying to quickly deal with this "sea guard" scurrying around.

At the same time, the six "Tomcats" that were filling in the rear were only 340 kilometers away from the center point of the fleet, and the distance of the "Backfire" fleet was 550 kilometers -- then the trouble was still the same, and the TWS mode could not be used for the time being, so the squadron leader of the "Free Lanner" immediately ordered that no matter what "multi-target interception" was, each plane aimed at the bombers with bright echoes in the distant sky, and fired a volley of guns first!

PDSTT, the preferred mode of long-distance engagement of F-14 fighters, one after another stout gray-white missiles broke away from the pylons, and a menacing missile battle line immediately appeared in front of the "Tomcat" advancing in formation.

The pilots wearing goggles saw a missile flying away in a neat pace, and the bright and dazzling spots in the line of sight quickly shrank and climbed, and the "immortal birds" who entered the high trajectory drew several winding trajectory parallel to each other in the dawn sky, and the rocket thrusters burned violently, driving the heavy missile body to climb all the way to 30,000 meters, and rushed towards the bombers in the sky.

The platoon guns were launched, each staring at the group of "backfire" planes that were rushing to the front at a distance of 210 kilometers, and at such a distance, the "Tomcats" who hurriedly opened fire did not even distinguish the specific target radar echoes.

For the AIM-54C with active radar guidance, as long as the missile is directed to the enemy plane, the self-homing head can catch a target after it is turned on, and when this wave of salvo missiles enters the final stage of guidance, it is expected that the distance of the "backfire" will also be shortened to about 100 kilometers, if the situation is smooth, the boys of the VF-21 can send these stunned bombers into the sea as long as there is another wave of TWS strafing!

In the face of the incoming group, the fighters of the U.S. Navy were full of fighting spirit, but they did not know what the order of the oncoming Red Banner 22nd Bomber Aviation Regiment was.

What does it mean to be "engaged in cheaply"?

It didn't mean much, flipped through the manual of operational planning instructions, and Lieutenant Colonel Ivan Petrov, who was sitting in the back row of the Tu-22M3 bomber at the front of the formation, quickly made a decision.

The 22nd Regiment was tasked with organizing a feint attack or turning into a real breakthrough attack after receiving the latest instructions, and now the communication liaison station on the Kamchatka Peninsula sent a message that the General Headquarters confirmed that the Americans' interception forces had not yet been confused, and in order to avoid unnecessary losses, the lieutenant colonel immediately decided to send combat orders to all planes through the guò number jù communication system, and carried out a wave of missile salvos according to the coordinates of the US Navy formation predicted by the command.

The combat distance was 600 kilometers, and although there must have been some deviations in the sea area being targeted, and the lethality to the US fleet was almost zero, the KSR-5 salvo was suddenly launched, and the Americans, who found clues on the radar, were still taken aback.

"W-What?! - The Russians launched the 'Kingfish'?

Damn, it's definitely 'Kingfish'! ”

Just after six o'clock in the morning, every second of the fierce battlefield between the two sides was extraordinarily long, and the Tu-22M3 bombers of the Red Navy, which received the launch order, began to throw missiles one after another, and successively launched the KSR-5 mounted under the fixed section of the belly and main wing.

Separated from the solid pylons of the carrier aircraft, these huge missile bodies with a length of 10.7 meters and a diameter of nearly 1 meter glided in the air for two or three seconds, and the main engine ignited immediately.

Twenty Tu-22M3s, with a firing success rate of about 95 percent, and a full 57 large rockets weighing more than five tons were thrown out at once, and the bombers, whose load had suddenly been lightened, immediately turned around as a whole, and the afterburner of the engines was still maintained, turning around and detaching at a speed of Mach 1.6.

The Red Navy of course knew that this round of firepower projection was ineffective, but the Americans who were watching did not know it.

The radar scan found that the missiles were coming, and the VF-21 squadron was desperately flying towards the interception line, and the pilots were about to go crazy on the spot.

These Russians, are they all crazy today, did they find out the location of the United States aircraft carrier battle group, but how is this possible?

Originally, there was a prediction of the Russians' actions, and it was determined that the "Backfire" would not launch an attack on the far range of the "Kingfish" missile, and the command center's plan was to let the VF-21 intercept the Russian bombers trying to occupy a position, and if the opponent chose to carry it hard and fight for losses, it would continue to penetrate the defense, and then the "Flying Angel" squadron that followed up behind would intercept it a second time -- but now, I didn't expect the Russians to come to this hand, and the "Tomcats" of the "Free Lancers" squadron quickly got an order, don't care about the "Backfire" that greases the soles of their feet, First, concentrate firepower to knock down this large area of swarming anti-ship missiles.

The roaring "kingfish", each with thousands of kilograms of semi-armor-piercing warheads, even if reason is telling themselves that these big guys who are still far away and have high ballistics are unlikely to really rush to the front, the generals of the US Navy still can't help sweating on their foreheads, praying that the interceptors in front can complete this arduous task.

But isn't it, the same anti-ship missile, it doesn't matter how many "Harpoons" or something like that the aircraft carrier hits, but the AS-6 "Kingfish", if you are unlucky, one will lose its combat effectiveness!

The missiles flew sideways, and the F-14 on the opposite side rushed over like crazy, and the battle situation under the northern sky became more and more tense, and the "Tomcats" who were responsible for intercepting and destroying the Russian spoilers were in a bad situation, and the U.S. Navy fighters, which had the advantage in numbers, were intent on cutting down this "sea guard" on the spot, but found that the weapons they were carrying were clearly inadequate.

From visual contact to hand-to-hand combat, the "Lance_Six" twin planes with the radar staring at the target had obviously entered the rear hemisphere of the "flanker", firing two "Sidewinders" in a row but none of them were on target, and the "Lance_Two" who had just lost its wingman and had just lost its wingman hit the "Sparrow" M in one go, but saw the missiles dragging the fireworks flying in the line of sight like crazy, and did not greet the opponent at all, and the visibility at dawn was extremely bad. The impatient pilot shouted on the channel:

"Beware! - 'Lance_Six', 'Scissors' at four o'clock!

Miller, lock up that Russian, we've run out of Sparrows and can only try to use the Rattlesnake!
