Chapter 786: Long-Range Bombers
With a sense of revenge to recover the loss, a long "phantom" flew north in groups like bandits who robbed homes and houses.
Because the flight altitude was very low, these fighters were not detected by the ground warning radar of the New Party, but in addition to the radar, the armed forces of the New Party, which have rich combat experience, also have countless ground lookout posts, and it is still a little difficult for the FIAF fighters to carry out a surprise attack; But at least one thing, which the Liberal pilots expected, was that there were no NATA fighters in the nearby airspace, and the threat from the sky was temporarily lifted.
Rising south from Fort Scharqat in the morning, responsible for a large area of airspace between Fort Sharqat and Bayiti, Long Yun and Qi Hui's Su-27SKM twin aircraft were the only NATA air force in the area, but now they have moved in other directions.
Just a few minutes ago, the Red No. 15 fighter plane that saw Long Yun went out to meet the enemy, and Qi Hui, who was sweeping behind the formation, was still loyal to his duty at first, using radar to monitor the changes in the situation on the battlefield from afar; However, this relaxed state of spectating the battle soon came to an end, and a communication call was heard on the radio, and the ground liaison officer informed him that there was an enemy situation in the vast sky to the west, and that "a large number of MiGs were approaching"!
A whole bunch of MiGs, approaching the front?
After two turns in his head, Qi Hui quickly thought of the usual tactics of the Liberal Air Force, and he imagined a picture of the indiscriminate bombardment of the black pressure fighters in the sky advancing all the way, like a climbing plow sweeping the ground, needless to say, this time it is a large fleet of MiG-27 fighter-bombers and MiG-23MF/MLD, and the standard people have a lot of stupid money!
With such a really funny thought, Qi Hui secretly thought that he would have a few more 10,000 bills in his account today. But before copying the guys to make a lot of money. He didn't forget to yell on the radio and invite his new partner to join him for the Overlord meal. Then he decisively pressed the slope and turned sideways, and the huge blue body quickly accelerated and flew away, leaving only a smooth and graceful curved track in the air.
Today's battle is different from Long Yun, who has just joined NATA, Qi Hui's Blue Thirteen Su-27SKM is almost full of R-73E and R-77; As the number one killer of the Third Squadron and even the entire New Party Air Force, the treatment of ace pilots is naturally different.
While speeding up and thinking about tactics, the "Green Dragon" in the air has already raised its nose and is ready to launch a thunderous attack on the Liberal Party group in the sky; So at this moment, Long Yun, who had just shot down a Phantom 2000D and then accelerated to run. What is he doing now?
Just now, after shooting down a Phantom 2000D, he went straight out of the battle, according to Long Yun's original plan, he wanted to break away from the enemy plane and then sneak around and kill back, to see if he could cut down one or two more "Phantoms" - after a short battle just now, I dare not say how much I know about the overall strength of FIAF, at least he has figured out the ability of these "Phantoms" in front of him, and the people sitting in them are basically mediocre people with average skills; Since they still don't give up at this time, and chase after their buttocks, it should be said that it is logical to accelerate away and then change directions and then cover up and come back.
However, although the plan is good, when it comes to implementation, it is often not so smooth.
Just after Long Yun drove the plane all the way up and out of the battle. He had just turned ninety degrees sideways into the east-west course, preparing to make a three-turn around to the right side of the enemy plane. The radio beeped a few times, and then the commander's anxious voice:
"'Red Dragon', 'Red Dragon'; report where you are, report where you are."
"Uh,—— ROP, I'm in airspace 39, 61, repeat, it's 39, 61 in airspace now."
"Okay, now you're closest to the target," in the channel, the dispatcher's voice mixed with rustling noise showed a hint of nervousness, "We have just discovered a large target in the airspace of 3F and 58, and the specific model cannot be confirmed for the time being, but it is suspected that it is a bomber; Now you immediately turn to the one o'clock direction and carry out the interception!
Radar monitoring shows that there are no other enemy aircraft in the nearby airspace for the time being. ”
"When the 'Red Dragon' receives it, it immediately turns to the direction of one o'clock to intercept it, and repeats it, it turns to the direction of one o'clock to intercept it, and it is over."
Hearing the dispatcher's words, "A large target suspected of being a bomber has been found", Long Yun replied on the radio, slightly adjusting the direction of the flight, he was first guessing what that "bomber" would be, the Liberals still have this kind of thing in their hands now? Then, I don't know if it was influenced by Qi Hui, a very boring and absurd thought floated in his mind, that is, "It's 10,000 cash to get off the plane, so it doesn't matter the size of the target"......
After a short walk in the cockpit, Long Yun quickly shook his head to drive away this strange thought, and he remembered the sound in the headset just now, "People are stupid and money come quickly", and a helpless smile appeared on his face.
Isn't it, although they are all volunteer pilots sent by the "organization", but looking at Qi Hui's appearance, he is really worthy of the nickname of "weirdo"; But strange is strange, this person has been fighting hard in the Middle East for only a month, and has already shot down double-digit enemy planes, this kind of record, everywhere is absolutely breathtaking, even in the critical situation of the war and the shortage of manpower is the same as NATA.
Contrary to the outcome of the war itself, the country with more ace pilots and higher records in large-scale wars is often the one who loses in the end.
This phenomenon seems to be a little incomprehensible, but in fact, it is mainly because the inferior side in the big war is difficult to replenish the pilots in time, and the ace pilots must continue to fight on the front line; A pilot who has never been in the line of fire from the beginning to the end of the war is naturally more likely to accumulate amazing records, of course, it also means that more excellent colleagues will fight to the death on the post, but there is a shortage of experienced aviation instructors in the flight schools in the rear.
As for the current Iraqi New Party, and even NATA, although the main force is foreign volunteer pilots, in fact, the situation is similar to that of Nazi Germany in World War II - there is no reserve force, the number of volunteer pilots is scarce and difficult to replenish, if it were not for the same average combat power of opponents such as FIAF and FSA, I am afraid that NATA would have been unable to support it a long time ago.
While thinking about it, thinking of Qi Hui's dazzling record, which has become the number one trump card in the parallel world with a record far exceeding the second place, Long Yun will naturally be a little eager to try it in his heart; But reason quickly regulates this situation, and confirms that his priority is to track down the mysterious aircraft, collect and report the situation, and not to actually fly the warplane into the Iraqi civil war and fight these crazy enemies in the skies.
But having said that, when he thought of what he had seen and heard in the village before, as if he had summoned the deepest memories in his heart, Long Yun unconsciously felt evil thoughts.
Although the task of "organizing" is the first priority, it doesn't say that he can't participate in the civil war, right?
Compared with the nascent northern regime, what kind of virtue is the Iraqi Liberal Party entrenched in Baghdad, he also knows about it in the media and on the Internet, and now he has witnessed the barbaric atrocities of the FIAF - this kind of atrocity, which may be repeated every day in the troubled Middle East, but it really left an indelible impression on him, Long Yun really wanted to be happy in the sky and kill the enemy at this time: not for any trump card, what crash record, not for the reward of 10,000 yuan, Rather, it was to put an end to this terrible national civil war as soon as possible.
And then again, if the war goes on like this, will he still have a chance to go on a secret mission......
Piloting the fighter plane at an altitude of 4,500 meters all the way to the east, thinking in the cockpit, Long Yun's eyes have been vigilantly sweeping back and forth; He did not turn on the airborne radar, but only relied on GCI guidance and binocular search for targets, mainly for fear of being discovered by the target.
After all, this "large aircraft", since it cannot be a fighter, then there is no ability to resist in the face of an attack, and many pilots of large aircraft encounter RWR warnings and the like, their first reaction is to turn around and flee, in which case he may not be able to catch anything; For air defense operations, being able to scare enemy planes away is considered to have completed the task, but now Long Yun is really curious, he thinks that FIAF will not be stupid enough to fly big guys such as transport planes and AWACS aircraft to such a northern airspace, and if it is a bomber-
Oh, and I can see the plane now!
Turning off the radar and moving forward, correcting the course according to the intermittent information sent by the command center, Long Yun found the target on the left front side of his field of vision with his extraordinary eyesight, which was a large plane flying at an altitude of about 2,000 and resembling a large arrow.
Because the radar was not turned on and the distance could not be measured, Long Yun flew a little closer in the red 15th, and quietly came to the direction of seven o'clock behind the enemy plane, and he mobilized the IRST (Inferred_Scanning_and_Tracing, infrared scanning and tracking) system on the right side of the nose of the Su-27SKM to intercept the plane, and used the laser rangefinder to know that the distance between the enemy and us was about 12 kilometers, and then he immediately knew what model this big guy was.
Sure enough, looking at the sharp nose and large swept wing, it should be a Tu-22 supersonic bomber.
Following behind the unaware enemy planes, Long Yun glanced at them and became more convinced of his judgment, his first thought was that Iraq had imported a batch of Tu-22 long-range bombers in the early years, but later lost them in the Gulf War by US air strikes; So now this all-gray plane, probably smuggled from the black market?
Thinking of this, Long Yun raised his eyebrows, he felt that this was not a trivial matter.
This place in the Middle East is indeed a bit evil, supersonic bombers can be smuggled by the Liberal Party, this thing is really a bit dangerous! (To be continued......)
