Seeing the F-15 fleeing in a hurry, with a straight route and a bright tail flame, it is really a good infrared missile target.

With such perfect launch conditions, Long Yun was 100% sure that he would be able to kill him!

It's a pity that this R-73 missile, which was originally nine out of ten, made the old mistake of poor cooling of the seeker sensor, and it was clear that it did not lock the target, and it became an uncontrolled rocket after flying out, which made Long Yunbai, who was eager to kill the enemy, excited.

And just in front of his gritted teeth, Major Johnson, who was sweating and running wildly, didn't know at all at this time, and he didn't think that if it weren't for the failure of the seeker of the last R-73 launched by Long Yun, who was chasing after him, then his idiot-like afterburner escape behavior was no different from sending him to death.

The reason why he was able to escape, maybe it was God's arrangement?

But if God really exists, he shouldn't have let the three American pilots die in this distant foreign land one after another, becoming wandering ghosts who cannot return home!

Looking at the distant enemy who was like a frightened bird and the tail flame was incomparably bright, Long Yun thought for a moment, but gave up the idea of turning on the afterburner and rushing up to use the cannon, and reluctantly circled around and went home.

He's done what he can, but there's really no way to do it if the missile goes wrong.

With the Su-27's aerodynamic design, which naturally focuses on subsonic maneuvering and takes into account high-speed performance, it is unwise to compete with the F-15C, which is fleeing with all its might; Long Yun glanced back at the direction where the Americans had disappeared, and he had to admit that there was something he couldn't do after all.

- Well, you've won!

If you fight to escape Ma Li Cheng dù, I, Long Yun, am indeed willing to bow down.

……

In the clear blue Georgian sky, the lonely red seventeenth Su-27S is flying unhurriedly to the north.

It seems that the flight is quite leisurely, but in fact, Long Yun in the cockpit is very nervous: just now, the R-73 with the failed seeker drove away the enemy plane that was already frightened, and he didn't have time to reminisce about the wonderful battle, but was about to face such a thorny problem:

There was not much fuel left for the fighters, which was not enough to support their own flight back to the station of the 237th Regiment.

Due to the fierce fight just now, there was a big gap in the fuel that Long Yun calculated when he set off: Long Yun, who was strict with weight, knew very well the relationship between the maneuverability and weight of the fighter, so he tried to bring as little fuel as possible, but now he had to rack his brains to think, how to return to the base?

The worst thing is that the GCI guidance link that originally communicated normally has also become intermittent, relying on the position awareness of the Su-27S itself, now he can only know where he is flying over Georgia to return to base; As for the surrounding field airfields, civilian airfields, or places where fighters can take off and land, he is all blind.

In desperation, Long Yun had to check the outdated navigation information, he was now about 400 kilometers out of the base, and the distance from the nearest field airfield of friendly troops was also close to 200 kilometers, which means that there was no airport!

Looking down at the fuel gauge, there was only a pitiful 300 liters of oil left, so that even if he was careful about his calculations, he would not even be able to fly half the distance, and he would lose altitude, and then stall and make close contact with the ground.

However, thanks to the good aerodynamic design, the gliding performance of the Su-27S is quite good among heavy fighters, and Long Yun decided to try it by maintaining altitude first; It's not that he fantasizes about being able to "float" back to the airport like this, but it would be good to stretch a little longer and let him find out if there is a place to make a forced landing as much as possible.

After a fierce battle, it was now four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was about to set, and the visibility was getting worse and worse.

Seeing that the sky was about to darken, and carefully observing the terrain conditions below, Long Yun could no longer stay at high altitude, but the lower he flew, the greater the air resistance, and the more fuel was consumed, this dilemma caused considerable trouble to Long Yun.

Keeping the huge Su-27S below the more economical cruising speed, Long Yun carefully looked at the terrain while comparing it with his own navigation information; Thinking that the red seventeenth landplane he was driving had just been born and died with him, Long Yun really didn't want to give up this fighter plane that had been in good condition for less than a week.

But looking around for a moment, the rolling South Caucasus has no airstrips, not even high-grade highways that can barely make do.

With a little anxious snooping around, it was clearly visible in the westward sun, except for the large hillside wasteland was the yellow-green grassland; As you fly the plane over the towering and snow-capped Greater Caucasus Mountains, you can also see abrupt stony mountains and scattered alpine waters.

These places are not to mention landing fighters, if you want to say that helicopters are almost okay; The completely unfavorable terrain and topography made Long Yunkong have a driving skill, but he was also a little helpless.

A trace of anxiety welled up in his heart, and Long Yun couldn't help but think in his heart, although the Su-27S he now controls is a heavy fighter, the shortest landing distance can be compressed to four or five hundred meters - but this can't be satisfied, just now he looked around, there is no such long flat ground to use.

Is it really heaven that I have to give up the plane and eject and parachute?

Just when Long Yun felt a little frustrated and almost gave up his efforts, he stumbled upon traces of artificial landforms that appeared in his field of vision; Signs of irregular yellow-brown excavation appear on the originally undulating green grassland, which is clearly visible even from more than 1,000 meters in the air.

Looking at the surface, it looks like a large mining area!

The geomorphology of the mine varies greatly depending on the mining mode, the type of ore and the local geological conditions; If you're lucky, maybe you'll be able to support the landing of fighters?

Thinking like this, Long Yun immediately lowered his flight altitude, intending to lean in to take a look.

At this time, Long Yun, who could not receive navigation information, did not know that he had just overlooked a large manganese and iron mining area near the city of Ordzhonikidze in the southern Caucasus; The extremely shallow distribution of mineral deposits determines that the mining method here is open-pit excavation, and the original rugged terrain is manually excavated and pushed downward, which is of course different from the surrounding undulating mountainous area.

Piloting the fighter plane to make a small turn, Long Yun flew along the outer edge of the mine, carefully examining the terrain here.

The so-called endless road, maybe this place can be used for emergency landing?
