The strategy of action is the same as before, so will it be another feint this time?

This problem is not known to the pilots of the Red Navy who flew the Tu-22M3 for long-range attacks, nor did the General Headquarters of the Far Eastern Theater of Operations in Irkutsk, or this was actually a matter that needed to be improvised and the person who really decided the nature of the bomber's penetration was Long Yun, who flew the plane to the departure position.

Withdrawing from the northern airspace where the battle broke out suddenly and then was hastily terminated, driving the White Twenty, which was still quite well-oiled, to join the 317th Guards Bomber Aviation Regiment, Long Yun's current plan is very simple, according to the campaign planning materials he saw before departure, the five Tu-22M3 bomber regiments under the jurisdiction of the Pacific Fleet of the Red Navy are almost all dispatched, but out of the consideration of leaving a backhand, in a battle in the open sea, the consideration of the General Headquarters is to invest at most three bomber regiments to carry out air strikes.

Three bomber regiments, sixty or seventy long-range supersonic bombers, the lineup can be called huge.

However, looking at the current situation, since it is impossible to accurately locate the frequently maneuvering US aircraft carrier battle group, it is impossible for all the fighters to rush up and fire 10,000 bullets at once, and the Red Navy can only cautiously surprise one regiment after another, and although it avoids the risk of "betting all the chips together," it is unable to form an overwhelming density of firepower.

That's true, but it's ......

Thinking of this, the cockpit flew towards the rising sun, and the young man smiled slightly behind the breathing mask, as if he was confident in his plan.

I don't know where the Americans' fleet is?

Let Viktor Rezenov solve this problem!

In the process of flying forward to meet the enemy, Long Yun was always able to receive the radio signal of "Ruslan". The An-124B, which was huge in size and extremely spacious in the aircraft, was almost converted into an air command platform by IAPO. Broadcast air information through guò encrypted channels. This kind of target should be very obvious on the battlefield and easy to be attacked by the enemy, but looking at the current situation, NATO's air power in the coastal waters of the Far East is obviously weak, and even if the "Ruslan" is swaggering in the sky, the Americans can only watch it.

"Battlefield command and control platform", which is quite fashionable in the parallel world, basically refers to the type of early warning aircraft in the two camps.

However, in terms of the mode of operation of the armed forces of the Red Empire. As with other large-scale operations, the A-50 is not seen in the Far East Sea and air today; There were no early warning planes, but there was an air broadcast-like radiation source, and the high-power radiation signal made the Self-Defense Forces and the electronic monitoring system of the US military stationed in Japan feel very confused, and the Americans even speculated that the Russians had groped up a new combat system, and this inference was naturally sent to the command center of the U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier battle group, but it could only be temporarily ignored like other intelligence flying like snowflakes.

At present, the US Navy, which had shot down all the "kingfish," was still nervous, and the Russian reconnaissance planes were moving everywhere. The contest between the two sides has obviously just begun!

The confrontation of bombers and interceptors, the results of theoretical deductions. It is often very different from the actual situation on the battlefield, and the admirals of the United States are now faced with such a situation, and the commanders and staff officers who have been in the battlefield for a long time naturally dismiss the bullshit analysis of the so-called "Russians have no chance", but instead instruct the fleet's outer patrol planes to take the initiative to attack and drive away any Russian reconnaissance planes that try to cross the air defense circle.

The "golden combination" of the F-14 and AIM-54 against Soviet long-range bombers and air-launched anti-ship missiles is not a simple calculation on paper.

700 kilometers to discover the enemy's traces, urgently take off 24 "Tomcats" to intercept bomber groups in the airspace 300 kilometers away from the fleet, 144 AIM-54 "Immortal Birds", theoretically can destroy as many as 115 air targets, whether it is bombers or small planes like air-launched anti-ship missiles; According to this calculation, a regiment of Soviet bombers composed of about 22 planes and carrying KSR-5s would absolutely not be able to break through the interception of the F-14, and even if a few who slipped through the net had the opportunity to launch missiles, they would be destroyed by the influx of "immortal bird" missiles.

If this is the case, then the Americans' aircraft carrier battle group can simply be said to be "invulnerable," and the combination of the middle-level AN/SPY-1 "Aegis" and the RIM-66 "Standard" will become a kind of ornament, and the "sea sparrows" and "phalanxes" in the inner layer will be even more useless.

But in reality, will there be "invulnerable" weapon systems in this world?

The results of the death dance of bombers and interceptors on paper did not make the U.S. Navy self-absorbed, and sober-minded commanders knew that it was just a dream of the bookcases.

At the very least, the Russians would never have been brain-dead enough to send a "backfire" bomber regiment without a lead or escort aircraft to penetrate a single-carrier battle group in a dignified manner; As long as there are more than one regiment of "backfire" attacking, whether they are attacking in unison or in turn, the F-14 "Tomcat" fleet on a single aircraft carrier will not be able to cope with the battle perfectly, neither in terms of the number of weapons nor in terms of tactical arrangements.

A very simple example, if the Russians successively sent two regiments of "backfire", used the previous regiment to "reclaim", and induced the aircraft carrier to release two VF squadrons of F-14s into the air to intercept -- for an aircraft carrier that is on a normal mission, this is all the "Tomcats" on board, then one of Ivan's bomber regiments has certainly become cannon fodder, but what about the "Tomcats" that have been followed up by the "Tomcats" who have run out of "immortal birds" and whose internal oil has also been exhausted by a supersonic rush And how to deal with it?

Of course, some people will definitely say that "it doesn't matter if the Tomcat runs out of gas and ammunition, there are two VFA squadrons of 'Hornets' on the aircraft carrier", but what about something that can barely be supersonic when it is fully loaded......

F/A-18C/D/E/F, Why don't the Americans like this thing on aircraft carriers at all, to put it bluntly, in 1996 in the parallel world, the Soviet naval and air forces posed a great threat to the U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier battle group, and the "Hornet" and "Super Hornet" are precisely a kind of multi-role fighters that cannot effectively intercept the "Backfire."

Compared with the F-14 "Tomcat", the "Hornet's flight performance deteriorates after the bomb is hung, and its high-speed ability further deteriorates, making it difficult to enter the position in time in an offensive and defensive interception battle that requires every second to count; In addition, the air-to-air missiles mounted on the F/A-18E/F, the AIM-120B with the longest range, is less than 70 kilometers, which is more than half of the AIM-54, which means that in order to intercept the same target, the "Hornet" also needs to be farther forward than the "Tomcat", which virtually extends the time from catapult take-off to firing interception.

"Time", yes, is time, has always been a key factor in the offensive and defensive battles of aircraft carriers of the two superpowers.

Through this key factor, another key variable can be extended -- "distance", and the direction of the Red Empire's efforts lies in this, on the one hand, it is equipped with long-range air-to-ship missiles such as the Kh-22 and KSR-5, and on the other hand, it is equipped with the faster Tu-22M3 bombers, in order to shoot out all the missiles as soon as the enemy detects an air offensive.

As for the subsequent anti-missile war, that is a headache for the Americans, the Tu-22M3 formation will break away immediately after the missile launch, and it will be able to come back after returning to the base to replenish and recuperate.

It is precisely because both the United States and the Soviet Union are well aware of this fact that the U.S. Navy will develop the ship-based "Aegis" air defense system at any cost, which is used to protect itself when the outer air defense circle of the fleet is not effective in interception, and even when it is unable to fly a sufficient number of F-14s due to bad sea conditions and accidents, the RIM-66 "standard" is used to fight fighters and tactical attack aircraft is a little reluctant Such a big pervert is more than enough.

In addition to developing an ocean-going navy and expanding the strength of carrier-based aviation, the Red Navy has also developed a new generation of air-launched anti-ship missiles, such as the Kh-15, which have a shorter range, a greatly improved payload, and a greatly improved penetration capability.

Carrier-based aircraft escort, long-range bombers go out to fight against the US Navy's "Tomcat" and "Aegis", and a naval and air confrontation between the ocean-going fleets of the two superpowers is so chaotic, the situation in all aspects is complicated, the decision of the fleet commander, and the efforts of the front-line soldiers, any inconspicuous detail, may break the balance in a seemingly ordinary moment, and then decide the outcome of the contest.

The situation is roughly like this, for Long Yun, who is driving all the way to the east, whether he can occupy this key point depends on how well he plays in the next battle.

The "Flanker" attacked again, and the first warning signal was naturally the US Navy's E-2C "Hawkeye".

Just 20 minutes ago, in the chaotic battle to intercept the incoming "Backfire" and anti-ship missiles, the E-2C early warning planes hovering in the northwest direction of the fleet were busy directing the VF-21 and VF-122 to meet the "Kingfish", and at the same time, they were worried about their own safety, and it was impossible to keep an eye on the Russian fighters in the sky.

In this way, when the dust of a missile interception battle has settled and the air threat of the fleet has been temporarily lifted, the trace of the "White Reaper" has completely disappeared. (To be continued......)
