In this parallel world, the development of aircraft carriers of the Red Navy was much smoother than in reality.

After the end of World War II, the Soviet Union soon embarked on the road of confrontation with NATO, experienced the early technical reserves and exploration of the 1143 type "Kiev", "Minsk" and other aircraft-carrying ships, the Soviet Union completed the 1143.5 type "Tbilisi" and 1143.6 type "Varyag" after the completion of the two conventionally powered aircraft carriers began the construction of a new generation of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and before the outbreak of the war, the first ship "Kremlin" had been completed, and entered service in the Red Navy's Northern Fleet.

As for the next second ship, it is the "Almaty" that he visited before, and it is still in the dock for hull construction, or as a prop to attract firepower.

The situation of the "Almaty" was only known to Long Yun when he visited the shipyard.

There is no way, whether it is an aircraft carrier or other large surface ships of the Navy, it cannot be built in three or five days; In the event of a war, it is completely unrealistic to expect newly built ships to defeat their opponents, let alone in the high-intensity, fast-paced mode of modern warfare. Since the beginning of this world war, the city of Mykolaiv has been attacked by NATO air forces many times, and now it has intensified, and almost every day it is attacked by a large number of attack aircraft or cruise missiles from long range.

In the face of NATO's massive air strikes, several large shipyards, including the Black Sea Shipyard, have not been particularly severely damaged under the tight protection of the Soviet Union's fully automatic air defense interception network; However, the delay that affects the production period and the delivery time of the guide ship is probably unavoidable.

With a little emotion in his heart, Long Yun piloted the fighter plane all the way west after passing the city of Nikolaev.

With the entire formation maintaining the established course flew for some time. The Su-27 fleet, which gradually broke away from the rain zone, made a large radius circle around Odessa with radio guidance. Then he climbed away in the face of the rising wind and rain. The blue-gray figure soon disappeared into the gray sky of the south.

On the stormy Black Sea, the pace of the battle was rapid and furious.

Under the cover of the rainy and bad weather, neither the Soviet ground warning radar deployed on the Black Sea coast nor the NATO early warning aircraft hovering behind the theater of operations could fully control every move of the enemy and us in the vast sky; The air combat situation, which was almost unobstructed due to the use of radar, was also heavily veiled by this storm, making the actions of both sides even more chaotic.

Piloting the huge Su-27 fighter plane full of missiles all the way up and through the clouds, the task of the 224th Regiment today is still not to directly fight with the NATO fighters attacking in front of it, but to disperse into several multi-plane formations to cruise near the battle line.

Under GCI's air situation guidance prompting. These Sukhoi fighters, painted with a large red five-pointed star, were very active, sometimes climbing away from the stormy low altitudes, sometimes diving into dense clouds of precipitation, and frequently haunting large airspace on the northern side of the battle line. On the one hand, it can provide air situation information for friendly fighters operating in the vicinity, and on the other hand, it can also supplement the detection blind spots of ground radar and early warning aircraft, so as to prevent NATO fighters from using weather cover to engage in the old trick of infiltration and sneak attack.

This way of cruising to the enemy does not put much pressure on the pilots; Limited by the ability to communicate between the fighters and the ground guidance station, the Su-224 of the 224th Regiment could not leave the coastline too far, and they only monitored the stormy airspace ahead from a distance. Only when you have the opportunity to join the battle group and make a decisive move to strike at the NATO fighters that are scurrying around.

For the number one trump card of the Red Air Force. Will it be able to adapt to such a way of fighting?

Long Yun's answer was yes.

Piloting the white No. 20 Su-27S, which had just been picked up from the regiment but had basically figured out its temper, the friendly fighters in front of him were patrolling the sky, and seeing that there were several targets flashing in the large chaotic echoes on the radar, Long Yun switched the radar scanning mode and tried to avoid the echo noise of the rain as much as possible, while thinking about today's battle plan in his heart.

Seeing the top-secret information sent by the KGB before, he had long expected the next plan of the Americans, and now he will drive the Su-27S full of missiles in the formation of 224 regiment fighters waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the inevitable combat opportunity.

Facing the NATO fighters in the sky ahead, Long Yun certainly had the idea of rushing up and killing; This time, he did not attack again, but closely followed the pace of other fighters into a small-angle dive, and at the same time transmitted target information to the command center, and only when he approached all the way to the target less than 8,000 meters away, did he launch two R-27T missiles on the pylon on the center line of the belly.

Air battles in the rain are very dangerous for either side.

Maintaining an ultra-low-altitude flight in the dim and misty sky, the four F-16C fighters of the 15th Squadron of the "Fighting Falcon" wing of the US Air Force never received an air situation report from the rear, and the "Hornet" fighters cruising on the clouds did not detect the threat at low altitude in time, so they immediately fell into the danger of being chased by the tail.

Air Force Captain Spencer, who led the Fighting Falcon, had just sensed the looming danger from the RWR alert, after their squadron had been intercepted by a wave of MiGs and had lost contact with each other after a scuffle.

The sudden sound of the "beep" alarm in the cockpit made his hair stand on end when he was trying to resume communication with the "counter", and the visibility in the sky was very poor at this time, and he tried to look along the direction indicated by the radar warning, but he couldn't find the shadow of the opponent, where was the Russian fighter illuminating him?

The sight was still a blurry gray, and without thinking about it so much, Spencer immediately reminded his wingman on the radio, asking him to follow his own pace to maneuver and evade, and at the same time gritted his teeth and pulled the button, and threw away the two AGM-88 "Hamm" anti-radiation missiles on the wing pylons on the basis of the previous abandonment of the auxiliary fuel tank.

As fighters with electronic suppression tasks in the fleet, Spencer knew very well that it was no longer possible for them to attack close to the coastline, and besides, in this kind of ghost weather, the anti-radiation receiver was not very easy to use, and the heavy "Hamm" was useless except to add to the burden!
