Faced with the speeding missiles, the lieutenant colonel's thinking came to an abrupt halt.

In a flash of light, he made a judgment based on experience, and Sean Phelps did not hesitate at all, and judged that it was an infrared-guided AA-11 "Archer", the hateful Russian "Reaper", who actually threw radar-guided and infrared-guided missiles one after another, clearly leaving no one a way to live!

Just now, he was still chasing the "sickle", but now he was being chased and killed in turn, and Lieutenant Colonel Phelps, who was running away in the plane, was indeed very depressed and roared in the cockpit.

The same is an air-to-air missile, and there is a big difference between the evasion methods of radar guidance and infrared guidance, and once it encounters two kinds of missiles in succession, it will indeed make inexperienced pilots scramble and even make fatal mistakes -- to defend against radar-guided missiles, the maneuver that the fighter has to do is generally barrel rolling, turning sideways, trying to use the defect of the guidance law to throw the incoming missile away, and at this time it generally requires strong engine thrust; In the face of infrared guided missiles, when throwing hot flares, it is necessary to reduce the thrust of the engine at the same time, especially not to open the afterburner, in order to achieve a better confusing effect, correspondingly, the maneuver is also based on fast and high G dodge, as long as the fighter leaves the narrow field of view of the infrared homing head marker, everything will be fine.

The two missiles have different evasion tactics, and it is really a headache to greet them together.

In this regard, the U.S. Navy, and even the USAF are not as fully prepared as the Red Empire, and now they are being chased and killed by an R-77 and an R-73M, and the lieutenant colonel who is desperately fleeing in the plane is crying bitterly.

Nevertheless, in the face of ferocious pounce on the missile, skillful combat skills allowed Sean Phelps to escape. He turned his head to stare at a rapidly approaching "archer" behind him. When the missile begins to follow the turn, it makes a sharp turn in the other direction. On the one hand, more than a dozen flaming infrared jamming bombs were fired; In the face of the tracking of the two seekers, the gray fighter in the sky has been making a high G side turn, manually relaxing the swept wings to a flat state, and the heavy twin-engine "Super Cat" has obtained an astonishing instantaneous angular velocity, although the speed has been dropping, but it has been able to avoid the attack of two throwing guns in front of the other and one in the back.

As the landline maneuvered, the RWR alarm beep changed, and the F-14D, which had thrown off a W-band radiation source, was immediately changed from the circle. This is followed by a set of defensive barrel rolls that spiral downward.

Sure enough, the next moment, the Red Star Giant Bird, which was waiting for an opportunity to move behind, rushed after it, and a string of thirty-millimeter shells screamed and tore through the air, passing through the cockpit in a thrilling manner.

Encountering artillery fire at close range, two U.S. Navy pilots were alerting each other, and radar officer Pearson was shouting "Boss!" from the cockpit. - 'Scissors' at five o'clock! Phelps, who was nervous, immediately kicked the rudder, opened the speed brake and pulled the lever violently, and the F-14D, which had reduced its speed, suddenly raised its nose and deflected in the direction of the incoming enemy plane. The sudden deceleration left the White Twenty behind him without time to cope, and the speed difference between the two planes was more than 100 knots. Let the pursuers rush in front of the target at once.

Making a violent maneuver similar to a "cobra maneuver", with a blood-colored red vision in front of his eyes, the lieutenant colonel successfully put the "sickle" in the front hemisphere.

The pursuit and escape situation is reversed, but it is impossible to counterattack at this time, the horizontal distance between the two is only a few hundred meters, and the height difference is suddenly widened, Long Yun, who sensed the movement of the Americans in advance, chose to pull up and slow down, that is, to exchange kinetic energy for potential energy, and now the white twenty is climbing!

In a hazy red field of vision, seeing that the target was rapidly pulled up, Sean Phelps, who endured overload pressure and tightened his whole body, wanted to immediately make up for an AIM-9L, but at this moment, his "Super Cat" angle of attack was too large, even if the radar had just intercepted the target, he could guess with experience what kind of calculation the fire control system would give, and the "Sidewinder" missile could not be launched at this time.

Missiles cannot be used, the range of the cannon is not within reach, and the F-14D with a high angle of attack can only maintain a steady flight and does not have the aiming conditions, so the lieutenant colonel can only raise his hand to push the throttle valve forward and close the speed brake at the same time.

Although he changed from being pursued to a pursuer, the scene did not improve at all, and Sean Phelps, who was speeding up, was a little deflated: he still missed a factor in the evasion action just now, since the "sickle" has a height advantage, it is useless to shake the opponent directly, and it is better to have a low and strong maneuver than to know it, but in the tense and fierce battle, who can not make any mistakes?

As a result, now, the occupancy is available, but the speed and height difference between the two have not changed at all, and then there is still an endless chase and escape battle, what is the difference between this and the situation at the beginning!

Of course, if you chase until the Russians run out of gas, maybe things will turn around, but the "sickle" is not an idiot, if it is about to run out of gas, this guy will definitely get out of the battle on the spot, and Phelps has found out in the maneuver just now that the performance of the Russian Sukhoi is even higher than his "super cat", which does not match the intelligence, but who knows, the situation of the "Grim Reaper" cannot be speculated with common sense.

The pursuit failed, and then he was bitten by the tail of "Crazy Ivan", and finally slowed down to get out of the predicament, but the lieutenant colonel's next combat operation was difficult to surprise, he also drove afterburner to chase the enemy at the beginning, but the red five-star fighter with abundant energy reserves did not give a chance at all, and the cunning Russian suddenly turned the fighter to the direction of the sunset; Sean Phelps, who wore goggles, and his partner were a little dazzling, perhaps to bully the fighting weapon that "Tomcat" did not take advantage of, and the timing of the "Scythe" maneuver was just right, and a large loop-like vertical somersault went around the F-14 again.

I didn't expect the Russians to come to this hand at all, and the two American pilots actually lost their targets in the blink of an eye.

In the face of the F-14D with good performance, the Su-27M2K piloted by Long Yun has superior parameters, but the confrontation with the number one ace of the US Navy cannot be taken lightly, and his own response leaves no room at all. The vertical maneuver just made is called "Frolov Falun" in the real world, of course, there is no such name in the parallel world, if this is not in the sky battlefield, but at the air show, then maybe it will be called "Rezenov Falun" or something like that, of course, Long Yun doesn't care much about this.

At this time, over the ocean, the battle in the surrounding airspace is basically over, and the "Super Hornets" who encountered the R-77 are all turning around and fleeing, and the VFA-154's escort planes are willing to help in the war, but they can't help at all, and it is very dangerous to hit the "Slammer" in the sky where the two aces are fighting, and they have no courage to rush up to fight.

In addition, not to mention, the Russians' "sea guards" are operating in a big way, and even in order to ensure the safety of the aircraft carrier battle group, these fighters who temporarily assume the role of air defense will soon receive orders to break away from the airspace of the "Cat Man" ace and take up a position to intercept a group of Sukhoi killed in the west.

Although the CIA swears that the Russians' "Flankers" do not have long-range air-launched anti-ship missiles, who would dare to pack a ticket for such a thing?

Friendly forces are nearby, but they can't help at all, and Sean Phelps is left alone to deal with the terrible "White Death", on the one hand, he is completing his mission - to hold back the damned Russian madman, and on the other hand, his own situation is getting worse.

Obviously, the "sickle" in the sky has limited patience, after a period of confrontation and chase, this guy seems to have completely figured out the confrontation characteristics of the F-14D, and the change in flight performance brought about by the change of swept wing can not confuse his eyes, and in another hovering confrontation, the Su-27M2K, which suddenly slowed down and entered the maximum instantaneous angular point speed, suddenly attacked, and a sharp turn was able to go around behind the "Tomcat"!

Once again, the opponent entered the second hemisphere, and the height was still at a disadvantage, and the F-14D fighter that was completely defeated on the SEP could only barely compete with the advantage of the lift-to-drag ratio.

There is only the last "Rattlesnake" left on the pylon, and Sean Phelps, who is in a cold sweat, no longer has the luxury of defeating his opponent, he now just wants to confront the "Grim Reaper" for a while, and then directly accelerate out of the battle, the pressure of this thrilling confrontation is too great, and even he can't bear it for a long time.

With its wings spread out and full afterburner, the course of the "Super Cat" changed very quickly, but the white No. 20 behind him was not slow at all.

Su-27M2K, equipped with two AL-31F-M2 engines with afterburner thrust of 14 tons, although a small part of the flight range is shielded due to defects in the air intake, the overall thrust-to-weight ratio is much better than that of F-14D, and now the confrontation between the two is just like the situation of F-15 and Su-27, one side has an advantage in thrust-to-weight ratio, and the other side has an aerodynamic advantage, it seems that the "Super Cat" still has a chance, but the flight quality improvement brought by the variable swept wing is not comprehensive, and the acceleration and maximum lift cannot be both, It often becomes a fatal flaw in grappling.

Just like now, the F-14 that turned sharply sideways narrowly avoided the aerial artillery strafing of the tail pursuers, but the speed has not been improved, and it cannot really get rid of the pursuit of the "sickle".

In the face of a "flanker" with strong performance and unexpectedly high parameters, which was different from any opponent encountered in the past, and even compared to the imaginary enemy of the F-15 in the exercise, Lieutenant Colonel Sean Phelps drove the plane to the left and right, but was never able to fly out of the shadow of the "Grim Reaper"; Suddenly, a white sword that broke through the air exploded at close range, and it felt like the landline was jolting, maybe the fuselage had been hit in a few places by the warhead fragments, even if the system had not yet alarmed, the young man in the fierce battle still couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Damn, it's not cheap at all in terms of performance, and now I really can't escape! (To be continued......)
