Chapter 311: Red Trumpet
Yes, if it is that kind of weapon, what kind of opponent is not to worry about.
A decisive action can not only get rid of the extremely intractable Russian nasty, but also use it to expand the war and even force the upper echelons to reconsider NATO's overall strategic arrangement; It would be a very high risk, but if you are afraid of taking risks, you should simply not put on this uniform and fight for the United States far from home.
Of course, the sudden and unprecedented blow to the Russians would have led to a thunderous outburst, and the next action would have been even more frenzied; But for those guys who sit in the office and have fat brains, how can these NATO bureaucrats learn from the pain and make serious changes without experiencing such a terrible bite?
Anyway, that's the thing!
β¦β¦
Conspiracy, like a heavy cloud that brings a storm, rolls and gathers over the Mediterranean.
The sudden Mediterranean climate, heavy rain and strong winds raging for several days delayed the Americans' "encirclement and suppression" plan, but they did not hinder Long Yun's high-intensity sortie to take to the air to kill the enemy.
In the days that traveled to the parallel world, because there was no real-world competition to be distracted for the time being, Long Yun never returned to reality, but drove a fighter plane to hunt around in the skies of the Caucasus. With Long Yun's elusive and continuous attacks, the slender and elegant, but extremely deadly figure of the Red No. 17 Su-27S has shrouded the hearts of all NATO pilots like the cloak of death.
This boundless nightmare is long and full of torment.
Just after Viktor Rezenov appeared in the skies of the Caucasus, after experiencing the initial curiosity, followed by shock and anger, many NATO pilots who thought they were very powerful fell one after another in the battle against the Red Seventeen. Their lives seem to have evaporated from this world, as ethereal as the inexplicable cause of the war they serve.
After being shot down by that "crazy Ivan" several fighters in a row, the nickname of "Caucasus Reaper" spread everywhere in many American fighter wings, because his speed of harvesting lives was so fast that it really scared many old birds who had flown thousands of hours a lot.
But as long as the Red Seventeen participates in the air battle, there may still be some opportunities to escape at the middle distance, and when it comes to visual air combat, I'm sorry, you ask how many planes your squadron can come back?
-- It depends on how many R-73s are left of the "Flanker" of the "Reaper" and how he feels today!
After several days of continuous rain and many tragic air battles, although Long Yun was still on a rampage alone, a rather depressed atmosphere of panic had already formed in the sky of the Caucasus. Unconsciously, the fighters of the United States and NATO allies began to consciously or unconsciously avoid engaging in dogfights with the planes of the 237th Fighter Aviation Regiment; Some timid pilots even turned around and fled as soon as they spotted a suspected radar echo on the radar.
yes, how can you not run? What if it's that Red Seventeen, the murderous "Grim Reaper"?
Wait until you get into the fight and see clearly before you run, and by then you will have been knocked down several times.
The evasion of engagement, although fully in accordance with the ban on war issued above, was quite annoying to the commanders of the wings, who regarded the honor of their soldiers as their lives; No matter how many years they are veteran pilots, they are also a little helpless against the cowardly mentality of their subordinates.
"Coward! - You're all cowards! β
If you curse people like this, you can think about it in your heart, but if you can restore your courage by insulting, it is just wishful thinking.
β¦β¦
The rainy weather is coming to an end, and it will be another cloudy and dull day.
After returning from another sortie mission and landing on the somewhat slippery airport runway, Long Yun brought back two takedown results this time, although it still needs to be corroborated by each other in many aspects, but the regiment can be said to be a little deferential to Long Yun, so he directly recorded his narrative in the battle report.
Every attack of this number one ace, if you don't bring back at least two or three results, it's really abnormal!
After reporting the combat situation at the regimental headquarters, he came to the inside of the door of the half-buried hangar, where Long Yun, who had changed into a flight suit, lay leisurely on a soft bench, and a small half glass of fragrant gin and a newly delivered war briefing were placed on the small table next to him. After spending a long time in the Soviet Union in a parallel world, he has gradually become accustomed to some of the pilot's little hobbies: the prohibition may not be quite impressed, but after experiencing high-intensity sortie operations, especially seeing the life and death of enemies and comrades, it is pure fool's dream to say that anyone can remain absolutely calm.
Of course, other people drink to suppress their fright, but Long Yun is purely a harmless pastime.
After completing the flight mission, Long Yun felt quite comfortable to accompany the fighter in the hangar to look up at the sky and have a drink by the way; Not only that, even if they were immediately alerted to attack again, the fighter plane did not say anything about drunk driving. After drinking, flying into the sky, in normal times, it is sure to write inspections and confinement, but now when the war is raging, no one can control so much, and it is the last word to fly into the sky and beat down the enemy plane.
"Victor, how many missiles do you want this time? The R-27ER from the Kharkov plant also arrived, would you like to give it a try? β
The excited ground crew pilot appeared beside Long Yun, probably thinking that he had disturbed the lieutenant colonel's rest, and he had an adoring smile on his face.
But no, missiles and the like should be provided to Victor more! Although the R-73 and the like are expensive, with the ultra-high combat efficiency of the "Fighter Butcher", it is very cost-effective to trade it for aircraft.
βRοΌ27ERοΌβ Hearing about this model, Long Yun also came to the spirit all of a sudden.
Based on his real-world understanding, the so-called R-27ER is a radar-guided extended-range missile, the same extended-range R-27R with a longer rocket thruster that was originally intended for use by PVOs? It seems that the head-on range of this missile can reach 80 kilometers, which may be a bit exaggerated, but at the same time, it also means that the power range increases, so the probability of killing fighters at medium distances will inevitably increase.
However, Long Yun remembered that the size and weight of the R-27ER missile have also been further improved, and the perverted guy with more than three hundred and fifty kilograms, even a heavy aircraft such as the Su-27S may not be able to carry too much.
"Yes! This is a number of charts and usage information, not too detailed, you take it for reference. How, how much? β
The second look of the ground crew pilot made Long Yun a little embarrassed, it seemed that he really regarded this lieutenant colonel Rezenov as a big customer, and the so-called responsiveness was made; Maybe if you ask him for a nuclear charge of R-33, he can find a way to get it!
"Give me four, take two with you when you go back and shoot, and find a Yankee plane to test fire."
"Hey! Okay, okay! β
The sound of "Hala Shao" gradually faded away, and Long Yunhui was lying on the bench, fighting every day in the 237th Regiment in the parallel world, even with his abundant physical strength, he really needed a good rest now.
Comfortably continuing to lie back on the bench and look at the sky, Long Yun didn't know it now, his record had unknowingly broken through the fifty mark.
After this sortie of the day, after the final confirmation obtained by ground-based radar, AWACS aircraft and other means, the latest recognized record of the command of the Caucasus Military District of the Soviet Air Force will soon be updated, and the record of Lieutenant Colonel Viktor Rezenov has reached 51 planes, which is far more than any other ace pilot of the Soviet VVS and PVO. Since the Americans suddenly became interested in the southern region of the Soviet Union, and the army was violently pressing, Long Yun, who was driving the Red No. 17 Su-27S, has frequently achieved results, and if it were not for the delay in returning to the base because of the forced landing in Ordzhonikidze in the middle, and the later Americans did not dare to engage in the battle because they were afraid, I am afraid that this number would have been higher.
At this moment, just behind Long Yun's bench, the red No. 17 Su-27S, which is beautiful and free-flowing and capable, is quietly dormant in the spacious hangar waiting to return to the blue sky. The milky white R-73K2 missile mounted under the wings for testing looks quite petite against the backdrop of the long fuselage, almost like a delicate decoration on a girl's wrist.
It is said that a fighter is a man's best partner, and Long Yun now feels a little that this is the truth, and the deep relationship between birth and death is not just talking.
Of course, with complex maintenance, what to do if the battle alarm sounds?
As long as you can see the panorama of the hangar, anyone will know that this is not a problem at all: next to the Sukhoi fighter in plain suit, another Su-27S with the same livery and the same number outside the nose cockpit is Red XVII, which is at this time already in a good state of first-class combat readiness and ready to take off at any time.
Two identical fighters?
Yes, in order to ensure the sortie capability of Viktor Rezenov, there are now two Red XVII Su-27S in the regiment, which is already an open secret in the 237 regiment, but the outside world does not know about it.
Just two or three days ago, the heavy vehicles applied for by the 237th Fighter Aviation Regiment returned from the south with a full load, and the pilots reassembled the Red No. 17 Su-27S that had been disassembled and shipped back from the mine, replaced the damaged landing gear and some worn parts, and restored its combat effectiveness as much as possible; And Long Yun's original landline, the Red No. 16 received from Korolev, was not returned, and the regiment simply assigned these two fighters to him alone.
One pilot with two planes is a very rare thing in the history of world air warfare -- not that other aces are not worth it, but pilots tend to become very tired after high-intensity sorties, when it is usually the plane waiting for the people, not the people waiting for the planes.
However, Long Yun's super attack power made it necessary for the regiment to take special measures against him; The two planes served him alone, and such treatment can be said to be unprecedented.
The number one ace is to have first-class equipment treatment, isn't it?
