The appearance of the "Caucasus Reaper" suddenly disrupted the overall deployment of NATO's Central Command.

As for this Russian super ace who once stormed the skies of the Caucasus and shot down countless NATO fighters, not only the front-line fighters heard about it, but even everyone in the NATO command department knew it. Besides, the nickname "Grim Reaper", although it is suspected of destroying one's own morale and growing the prestige of the enemy, has already been in the military system, and now it is suddenly facing this terrifying opponent again, which naturally makes everyone feel panicked.

However, "if you are afraid, you are afraid", and in the face of sudden threats, the Americans' response is also unprecedented.

As for the reappearance of the "Caucasian Grim Reaper", they still had a trace of doubt, after all, this god of killing has not appeared in the sky for a long time, could it be that the Russians are playing some tricks?

However, as the AN/APY-1 carried by the E-3A AWACS aircraft faithfully performed the scanning, the battlefield situation transmitted back immediately shattered the only remaining illusion of the Americans: the echo signal of the "Eagle" fighter in the northeast direction, which could be distinguished twenty seconds ago, quickly dimmed and disappeared on the display screen, and it was obvious that it had been shot down in the dogfight. A group of "Flanker" twin planes shot down three F-15Cs using active bombs in less than a minute, this kind of combat power, who else can there be but that guy!

Giving up the last trace of luck, the battlefield commander gritted his teeth angrily and ordered to immediately mobilize all available interceptor forces over the Black Sea to carry out a saturation attack on the Russian "Reaper", which was simply fearless in the northern sky:

"Chain up the target count to all units in the air and let them engage the enemy immediately! - Give me contact with the Navy, we need the Tomcat's air shelter and long-range fire support! ”

With the command center 100,000 urgent orders issued. In the E-3A AWACS aircraft circling over the eastern territory of Turkey. The air crews responsible for battlefield dispatch and command and coordination have been busy. Based on the massive numbers transmitted from the command center and combined with the battlefield air situation obtained by the radar scans of the early warning planes, they made intense maps and plans on the display screen, and commanded a large number of NATO fighters in the vast airspace to encircle and intercept the "Caucasus Reaper."

On the green display screen in front of the dispatcher, the highlight representing the "Grim Reaper" is so dazzling, the non-commissioned officer's hand is quickly searching on the trackball, and the battlefield liaison officer on the side is still continuing to talk to the command headquarters:

"Yes, the 9632 squadron in the 33 airspace is turning to the east flank, seventy miles from the 'Reaper'! -- There are also 'eagles' of the 41st squadron in the 9635 area. But they reported that there were only 4,000 pounds of oil left - yes, yes! ”

Listening to the stern orders in the headphones, the liaison officer hung up the call and leaned over to observe the instructions and operations of the dispatcher next to him, only to see that the various targets, tracks and parameters on the display screen had become a mess of porridge. If nothing else, their task today would have been to coordinate NATO's attack aircraft group, escort and air superiority fleets, and use frontal clearing tactics on the open battlefield to meet enemy aircraft and launch large-scale air strikes in the air corridors that have been basically opened. But now, the four F-963Cs responsible for shielding the airspace of the 15X have been lost, and there are only a few F-16s of the Turks on the follow-up interception line.

With his hand on the cold trackball of the control platform, the dispatcher hesitated at this time.

Based on previous combat experience. The usual response strategy for dealing with a small group of incoming Russian fighters is to mobilize an air superiority fighter equal to the number of opponents to intercept them. But it's one thing to deal with ordinary Russians. The words of the "Grim Reaper" are another matter: thinking of the weak F-16Cs of the Turks, still equipped with old AIM-7Fs, the dispatcher turned to his boss next to him:

"Sir, the closest thing to the target is only the Turkish squadron, we ...... Command these planes to go up and resist them first? ”

"What? - Nonsense, of course! ”

Just now, when his face was pale at the appearance of the "Caucasus Grim Reaper", the liaison officer shouted in annoyance, and he felt that this kind of questioning was simply a humiliation to NATO's tactical air force.

What does it mean to "go up and resist first"?

Precious fighters and pilots, is it just a consumable to deal with the "Grim Reaper"!

What kind of bullshit "Caucasian Death", no matter how powerful he is? On the radar, I saw that he was separating from the wingman, and I thought he was the Terminator or Rambo!

"Let them meet the enemy at once, and then order all the men of the 33rd Squadron to turn in the direction of two o'clock, and cut off any reinforcements that the Russians may have! The 41 squadron maintained the original course, covered the low-altitude attack aircraft group, and incomparably stopped this batch of MiGs coming from the Crimea! Half of the 42nd Squadron dispatched its fighters to the airspace of 9633 and 9634 to reinforce friendly forces, while the other half was on standby in the original airspace, waiting for the Navy's 'Hornet' fleet to take over the defense area, and then immediately attacked!

- Let's do it all! ”

With the commander's roaring order, invisible radio waves spread over the Black Sea, and the tension in the sky suddenly became more intense; Almost half of the large number of NATO fighters that originally carried out their own tasks immediately turned and went to the airspace near 9630, and under the long-range monitoring of the early warning aircraft, they approached the sickle-wielding "Grim Reaper" in many directions, and saw that a larger-scale vicious battle in the air was just around the corner!

At the time when this fierce battle was approaching, what was Long Yun doing in the northern sky?

After piloting the fighter to complete the attack, pulling up and disengaging, and cooperating with the wingman to cleanly solve the lone "Eagle", Long Yun had already commanded the wingman on the radio, allowing Suvorov to seize the opportunity between battles to turn around and return.

Just now, witnessing the Americans fleeing in another plane, he did not rush to catch up, but turned back to join Suvorov in the struggle with the last F-15C; Facing the enemy plane that was entering a transonic circled confrontation with the Red 15, after a short thought, he dispelled the idea of rushing up and ending the battle directly, Long Yun cautiously piloted the landline to cooperate with the wingman's actions, giving full play to the range advantage of the R-73M to encircle the opponent and constantly drive the Americans to the northeast.

When he turned back to engage, he had already relied on his keen observation to find that the lone F-15C still had two AIM-120B missiles, and then decided on such a tactic; Suvorov was called on the radio to pay attention to covering each other and maintaining a position, and the cooperation between the two Su-27S was very tacit, and the Americans were not given any chance to launch missiles head-on or tail.

Now that you're under siege, don't think about getting out of the way! (To be continued......)
