"Sea Guard", a lone suspected "Sea Guard", this guy can dodge two rounds of AIM-54 fire, intercepting the bomber's long-range bomb against a highly maneuverable fighter is a bit difficult, but - what the hell is this guy going to do, when he is Rambo or Superman!
A single plane rushes forward, followed by a large group of "backfire" behind the butt, and the Russian madman really wants to be a hero and cover those terrifying bombers rushing over to make a threat?
- It's just disgusting!
At present, the six F-14s of the VF-21 "Free Lancer" squadron, in addition to concentrating on fighting against the "Lance_Two" and "Lance_Nine" of the "Sea Guard", the radar officers on the rest of the fighters are staring at the display screen, fighting with the buttons and readings on the dashboard, they take it for granted that the Russian fighter is not to worry about, colleagues will definitely be able to solve this problem, and the "Backfire" bomber that is in a hurry behind them is the target they need to keep an eye on.
As a result, now, this seemingly suicidal "Flanker" actually turned two corners and rushed straight towards the "Tomcats" like a madman, seeing that the "Immortal Bird" did not work, the two F-14A+ that came out to intercept were naturally followed by two "Sparrow" M, but the deputy captain Jimmy Carter in the back frowned, feeling that the "Free Lancers" squadron was in trouble.
This Russian, is he really here to die?
No, it can even be said that ......
Confronted with a formidable foe. The Major's mind is still agile. As a squadron commander. Jimmy Carter quickly assessed the situation between friend and foe, and he realized that the Russian fighter had arrived at a bad time, and that the U.S. Navy "Tomcat" fleet, which seemed to be in good position, was in a dilemma in the face of a large group of "Backfire" bombers that lacked escort planes and seemed to be crashing into the iron plate.
The plight of the Americans is complicated, but the situation is clear at a glance.
With such a flea-like "Sea Guard" dangling in front of him, how could the VF-21 calmly shoot those whistling Russian "backfires"?
F-14 Tomcat, carrier-based fighter with AN/AWG-9 and AIM-54. It was originally born to enhance the air defense capability of the US Navy's aircraft carrier battle group, and its flight performance is also quite good, as a high-speed interceptor, or an air superiority fighter can be competent, in the face of the Tu-22M3 group without fighter open escort, theoretically, this seems to be a one-sided long-range air-to-air missile target.
But war, a real confrontation in the sky, is never a simple deduction on paper.
Piloting the "Tomcat" to face the enemy, Major Carter is a veteran pilot who has fought in the Gulf War and has rich experience in actual combat, although in that one-sided war against Saddam. The Navy's F-14 fleet has achieved nothing other than a lazy "Hippo" helicopter, but in frequent actual combat flights. Still, the major got some inspiration.
In addition, combined with the attention of the military intelligence department to the Iran-Iraq war, and a detailed analysis of every combat experience of the Iranians using F-14A fighters, the cool-headed Jimmy Carter also has to admit that the "big cat" he loves still has some various flaws and troubles.
Just like now, the hateful Russian "flanker" is still approaching, and the "Lance_Two" twin machine actually didn't kill it!
Time is passing, and the distance of the "Backfire" has been shortened to 160 kilometers, which has already entered the range of the "Immortal Bird" missile, but now, in the face of the Russian bombers on the radar that are separated from the left and right and are attacking at high speed in roughly two groups, it is difficult for the F-14s loaded with missiles to fire.
In the face of so many bombers, the PDSTT mode of one by one is obviously not suitable, and when a few "Tomcats" shoot the same number of "backfires", the rest of the targets will probably fly to the air defense circle and even start launching air-to-ship missiles.
Single-target engagement, in the face of a large group of enemies at the moment does not solve the problem at all, and the more intense firepower, theoretically can play six TWS mode, even if all the staff now enter the scanning tracking, let the fire control system complete the launch preparations, it will take more than half a minute to organize a round of "immortal birds" salvo, during this time, these VF-21 "Tomcats" have no time to care, can only pin their safety on two colleagues-
“Oh、shit!
――Jesus_Christ,I’m…… hit,I’m_hit! ”
Just now when he was nervously thinking about countermeasures, a panicked scream suddenly sounded in Major Carter's headphones, and he completely subconsciously looked out of the cabin, and saw a small flash of light in the direction of two o'clock in front of him.
At the same time, the radar officer in the back row also noticed that something was wrong, the echo signal representing the "Lance_Nine" on the display screen became blurry after being refreshed again, and it was obvious that the "Spearman No. 9" that went out with the long plane to intercept the Russians had just been hit, and the radio call did not respond, and the colleague may have pulled the ejection handle, or he had already died!
The R-77 that was split from the plane fell directly, and the VF-21's No. 09 F-14A+ became Viktor Rezenov's first trophy in this battle.
The missiles flying rapidly in the night sky, the pilot of the No. 09 "Tomcat Change" was not ignorant, this can only be said to be fate.
Just about 20 seconds ago, together with the No. 02 long plane, they attacked the Russian "Sea Guard" at 11 o'clock, and the pilot's eyes were fixed on the head-up display, relying on the display numbers as instrument flights, and the cooperation between the two "Tomcats" was quite smooth.
At this moment, anyway, there are no other Russian planes around, and there is no need to take care of each other at six o'clock, the No. 09 F-14A+ enters the dive and hovering according to the command of the long plane, and the plan of the "Tomcat" twin planes is to hover horizontally and lure the opponent into a circled confrontation, and the other plane pulls up and dives quickly, and then launches a "Sidewinder" to solve the battle.
Of course, this plan cannot be said to be unreasonable, but compared with the long plane that pulls all the way up and leaves the field of view of the missile homing, the luck of the "Tomcat" wingman is much worse; as soon as they heard the "Didi" sound of the radar warning instrument, the pilot and the weapons officer were very surprised, and the two actually sent a moment-long signal on the rapidly changing battlefield -- the W-band irradiation signal in the direction of one o'clock, but the Russians' "flanker" was not in the direction of 11 o'clock?
Could it be, is it an active radar-guided missile?!
Fighting to the death with the Russians on the ocean, originally planning to intercept the "Backfire", or fighting to the death with Ivan's carrier-based aircraft, the fact that he suddenly encountered ARHM made the pilot's heart beat wildly, and at the same time felt that it was not real at all, although the information conveyed above, the Russians had AA-12, but ......
It's 1,700 kilometers from the coastline of Kamchatka, this guy, from a land airfield?
Bullshit Russians, did they use air refueling, or did they simply carry out a one-way attack with no intention of returning?
But, damn it, the missile is already approaching, what else do you want!
In the face of an incoming missile, it may be hit in the next second, it stands to reason that the pilot should never be distracted at this time, but when it comes to the battlefield, no one can guarantee that he will not make any mistakes, and the AA-12 "Viper" that suddenly appeared was simply beyond the expectations of the Americans, just when the captain pilot reacted and entered a dive to evade, the missile's kiss of death was close at hand, and it was too late to say anything.
Suddenly a "Tomcat" was reimbursed, and every fighter plane that entered Gao Yoyo's "Lance_Two" and even VF-21 heard the frightened screams of their comrades.
The voice was full of disbelief, and the captain's exclamation made the American pilots turn their heads and look around in disbelief, but Major Carter, who led the team, was the first to wake up; With a few words of "Fucking_Damned_Russians" in his heart, he immediately called his subordinates to raise their vigilance and prepare to surround and kill the damned Russians, and while urgently calling the "derrick" behind him, he issued an order through the guò early warning plane, so that the remaining six fighters of the "free lancers" in the defense circle who were in a hurry were ready to intercept head-on.
The spoiler who suddenly appeared, since he killed "Lance_Nine", this is obviously not a Lost Man, or a psychotic Ivan.
On the contrary, this guy is obviously a veteran, big * trouble is just around the corner, and the most important thing now is not to aim at those "backfire" shots, but to strangle the hateful "sea guards" with all his might, no matter what his origins are, in short, the boys just now are too light on the enemy.
Not only that, but the major now feels that the command command is simply too conservative.
Shrinking the outer air defense circle of the fleet, for which the "Tomcats" are responsible, to four hundred kilometers, is in itself an unforgivable mistake!
The sky is about to brighten, in the vast sky at six o'clock in the morning, the sight is the darkest time of the day, the fire of the bombed fighter has fallen and disappeared, and the frightened and angry "Tomcats" have taken action, relying on the AN/AWG-9 that switched to melee mode to search for traces of enemy aircraft, while frequently carrying out IFF identification, and rushing over to disrupt the Russian fighters with all their might.
At the same time, a report was also received from the command center on the CVN-71 via the relay of the E-2C AWACS aircraft.
Unlike the pilots facing the front, although the generals sitting in the command room received the warning signal, they did not regard the sudden appearance of the "flanker" as a serious threat; in consideration of the operational restrictions of intercepting the "backfire," after a little silence, the aviation commander still approved the VF-21's operational request and ordered the "derrick" to command the remaining six fighters of the squadron to take the top position and intercept them outside the 350-kilometer air defense circle.
