Chapter 1308: The Pastime Before the Visit
In the morning, the plane took off and flew over the PVO air defense zone along the predetermined route, and Long Yun's battle plan was very casual.
This time, not to mention turning the Air Self-Defense Force into a historical term, at least say hello to the opponents, "I'm Viktor Rezenov is back", and see how these guys will react?
The idea was not bad, but as soon as he flew over the coastline, Long Yun flew straight to a large area of combat airspace demarcated by the General Headquarters, and drove his white No. 20 Sukhoi in front of the little devils, the Americans' long-range warning radar, he seemed to wander in the sky for a while, but no miscellaneous fish were hooked.
A moment later, with the sound of the radar warning instrument, JASDF, or the F-15 "Eagle" of the US military stationed in Japan was late, and a beam of AN/APG-63 radar scanning signals came from the sky, and the RWR began to chirp low, but the NATO pilots were clearly extremely afraid of the "Grim Reaper", and even an unidentified fighter was like a snake and scorpion. The slender lance fired too far was no threat to the White Twentie, and he watched the exhausted AIM-120B missiles fall against the background of the sky, and he really felt a little unworthy of these expensive aerial fireworks.
Didn't intercept the tracking beam of the Americans, or the little devils, and the threat range detected by the RWR was not high at all, these missiles were clearly hit in "mad dog mode", and they have become cowardly?
"Mad Dog Mode", it sounds a little funny. In fact, it is a joking name for the tactic of "launching missiles without relying on fire control". In short, it is to allow the missiles to search for and engage the enemy on their own; Obviously. This is a tactic that can only be used using infrared-guided missiles or ARHM, and the advantage is that there is almost no need for mid-course command correction in BVR confrontation, and the pilot can get out of it immediately after launching the missile, and the disadvantage is, of course, that the hit rate is extremely low.
Especially in BVR battles, no pilot will always fly in a straight line stupidly, so the "mad dog mode" is very inefficient, and when the air-to-air missile with a preset trajectory flies over a distance of tens of kilometers, the target has often run to nowhere.
Just like today. Faced with a lone suspected "flanker" in the sky, the generals of the US military command in Japan and the JASDF command center were shocked, for fear that it would be the "white death" holding a scythe high; In the face of the severe threat in the clear sky, although there are some commanders who do not believe in evil or do not value the lives of soldiers very much, but like the generals, the commanders of the air automatic flight team and the USAF fighter wing, who are experienced in battle, are not idiots, and no one will send their subordinates to die unless an order is given from above.
Of course, in the face of the oppression of the "Grim Reaper", the Japanese who lack a string in their heads are still different from their masters. Having suffered greatly from previous battles, the generals of the Self-Defense Force's Hokkaido Air Defense Command Center roared and gave orders. Be sure to break the hateful naked "flankers".
However, in abrupt contrast to the anger of the commanders, the Air Self-Defense Force, which has fallen in strength, now has no basis for carrying out orders.
After days of fierce fighting, from the Guanzhong area to Hokkaido, the runways were empty, and the hangars were billowing with black smoke in the JASDF stationed base, at this time, there were not a few red plaster fighters at all, and the only fighters on duty were already exhausted in the nearby airspace, and they had no time to respond to the call of the command center.
Under the unprecedented pressure of the Red Air Force, it has been desperately resisting for dozens of days, not to mention the desperate smash of "Crazy Ivan", F-15J/DJ and other third-generation aircraft have become very rare goods, and now the temporary top in front are such things as F-4EJ, these heavy and clumsy interceptor second-generation aircraft, it is very reluctant to deal with the overwhelming sea of Red Star aircraft, counting on the "mud pot" to fight the terrifying Viktor Renznov, it is no different from hitting an egg against a stone.
In this case, Long Yun, who originally planned to kill and kill, had no opponent for a while.
At the time of departure, seven tons of aviation kerosene were filled with 16 R-73M and R-77 missiles, and now not only have they not encountered the little devils who have been sent to death, but even the US troops stationed in Japan with acceptable strength have hung up their war-free cards, and the "Fighting Falcon" and "Eagle" painted with blue circles and white stars are lying on their stomachs in the chicken coop and pretending to be dead as if they have a tacit understanding, and they pretend not to see anything at all, no matter how the terrifying and hideous "fighter butcher" wields his knife to invite battle.
U.S. AirForce, the war vanguard of the United States, is now collectively pretending to be deaf and dumb in front of an enemy plane, this kind of thing, if he hadn't experienced it himself, even Long Yun might not really believe it.
But right now, I don't know if Victor's prestige is too great, they actually did it!
The young man who patrolled the sky was a little disdainful of the Americans' behavior, after all, he didn't think that the Yankees could see their landline livery from the echo parameters of the warning radar.
It is not clear whether this "flanker" is the "Caucasus Reaper", and it is actually pretending to be dead collectively on the ground, which is of course obscene enough, but Long Yun does not know some of the situation for the time being, unlike the blockade news in the media, a vicious naval and air battle in the northwest Pacific Ocean, the battle situation has been secretly transmitted to all front-line troops by the US combat system.
The victory or defeat of the naval battle determines the national fortunes of an old empire, which all the soldiers of the United States know well, but the Pentagon generals have no intention of promoting a defeat to motivate the American officers and soldiers struggling in the mud pit, and the reason why they told all the soldiers under the Stars and Stripes that the "omnipotent" U.S. Navy was beaten by polar bears in the North Pacific was one of the intentions of the "omnipotent" U.S. Navy in the North Pacific, in addition to ending the ghostly rumors, to raise the vigilance of all troops.
Heightened vigilance and awareness of the strength of the Russians is also a top priority for the Fifth and Seventh Air Forces of the US Army stationed in Japan.
During this battle, the elusive Russian ace pilots deeply pricked the nerves of the commanders of the armed forces of the United States, and the extreme panic of the "White Reaper" made the order "no engagement" reappear.
The frustrating scene in the Caucasus theater seems to be yesterday, and the regulation of "prohibiting engagement with suspected 'sickle' targets" has made all the NATO pilots who are still alive indignant, but just a few days ago, Lieutenant Colonel Sean Phelps, the number one ace of the U.S. Navy, was caught in the cold North Pacific by the DDG-59 "Russell" like a chicken in the cold North Pacific; Although the ace himself survived, his partner was on the MIA list, coupled with the news that came out in the previous stage, USAF number one ace Harold Fisher was seriously injured in the Caucasus, all kinds of news are simply mentally broken, and now in the face of a single-knife "flanker", no one takes to the air to engage in battle.
As a soldier, fighting is naturally a duty, but what if it is replaced by "sending to death"?
There has never been a lack of research on this problem, Long Yun drove the plane around the clear sky for a while, and he soon found that the enemy on the opposite side had no intention of fighting, but since the plane was dispatched, it was too boring to return with all the ammunition, and then he got in touch with the lagging A-50 early warning aircraft, and re-planned the mission as the commander of the 210th Division, and flew over the airspace to draw lines and enter the adjacent airspace to participate in the sea and air chaos, which was considered to have forced JASDF and the Americans into a desperate situation.
Seeing Long Yun's actions clearly, the hateful Russian "Grim Reaper" has been staying west of empty Hokkaido, after all, the "Scythe" is only driving a Su-27, not a "fencer", as long as he lies on the ground honestly, he should be able to escape.
But now—this guy actually slipped away with oil on the soles of his feet, and what was he doing in the adjacent airspace!
Originally, there was a trace of luck, but the sudden action of "Crazy Ivan" shattered the illusions of the Americans, the air strikes of the Red Air Force continued, JASDF was dying, and the USAF, which shouldered the heavy responsibility of "defending the allies", had no choice but to go into battle in person, and a scuffle broke out suddenly in the airspace west of Aomori, and the US F-15 that took to the air to meet the enemy closely cooperated and did its best, and finally succeeded in "expelling" the white No. 20 painted with red five stars.
Of course, in the process of "driving out" the Russian madmen, the heroic pilots of the United States paid the price of three more downed and one wounded.
In the battle against the "Grim Reaper", a rather fiery fierce battle in the sky, there was "only" the loss of so many fighters, and in the USPACOM agency in Japan that received the battle report, the cadres and others were actually very relieved, although everyone knew in their hearts that the loss of each fighter plane meant a heavy loss of pilots and equipment of the United States, but in the face of the "White Grim Reaper" who was rampant in the sky, this idea was in vain.
In an ordinary battle, the Americans were still licking their wounds, but the young people who were still unfinished had already returned and landed at the Khabarovsk base with a few unused missiles.
After returning to the base, he wrote a record of the battle and put forward his own observations, believing that after many days of high-intensity operations, not only did the pressure on VVS and PVO sorties increase, but the proper rate of the Americans' fighter units reached a very dangerous level -- in the course of fighting, relying on the cheating behavior of snooping on his consciousness, Long Yun found that the failure rate of the missile attacks of the US fighters was very high, and he encountered more than a dozen "slimes" and "rattlesnakes" before and after. Three of them failed during the engagement. (To be continued......)
