As long as you don't hold back, it's not a joke!

Although he was motivating himself with such thoughts, because he had been born and died with his comrades in the Caucasus, and later fell into a bitter battle due to the appearance of AIM-120, Suvorov was also a little worried.

Although he knew very well that his long-term aircraft Major General Viktor Rezenov was a super-ace with impeccable technology, the threat of active bombs from the Americans was extraordinary after all; Victor, who hasn't fought on the front line for a long time and doesn't know what his status is, is it a bit too risky to take it straight into the air like this?

Oh, if you want to talk about such a thing as "adventure", which battle of the "Caucasian Reaper" is not an adventure!

Sitting in the cockpit of the Red Fifteen Su-27S, Suvorov's exclamation continued.

At this moment, having made all the preparations before takeoff, looking at the familiar interior of the cockpit in front of him and on both sides, Long Yun lightly rested his right hand on the joystick, and he seemed to have completely regained his sense of mission as a Red Air Force pilot in an instant. Confirm that the engine is working properly, the radio guidance system and the control system are working normally, as the Red Seventeen, which is loaded with all infrared bombs, the normal operation of these systems is a complete guarantee of combat effectiveness; He pressed the intercom button and made his first call to the tower after a long absence:

"Дракон (dragon), ready, request to attack."

“Дракон…… Confirm that you can attack. ”

The signal from the tower was mixed with a faint crackling noise, but Long Yun could still hear that it was not the familiar tower liaison before, but the voice of the head of Samsonov. I don't know if this kind colonel head ran to the tower to make a cameo because of his return. He hesitated for a second or two, and then heard the regimental commander's voice reappear:

"Welcome back! Victor. ”

……

Clear and cloudless sky. Two sleek blue-and-white gradient camouflage fighters. It is flying all the way south in a standard two-plane formation.

After taking off, he kept the radio silent, watching the sky vigilantly in the cockpit, and Long Yun paid attention to the air situation information caused by the ground guide, and at the same time reviewed the engagement strategy he had formulated before. As a reappearance after a long absence, it is very different from the previous operational principle of keeping his whereabouts secret, what he needs today is a happy victory, and he wants to use this way to let the NATO Air Force that is showing off its military might know the return of the "Grim Reaper"!

Yes, only by fighting the sky on your own and attracting more attention from your opponents. Only then can the combat plan formulated at the operational seminar be completed.

Previously, at the Air Force General Headquarters in Moscow, in the face of Admiral Sergeyev and other high-ranking Air Force officials, he proposed a set of action plans to counter AIM-120, or counter NATO's Caucasian offensive. In this plan, the next stage of engagement strategy he gave to the Soviet Air Force and Air Defense Force was to temporarily slow down the sorties of all aviation regiments in the Caucasus theater before the new R-27P missiles were put in place one after another, to preserve their strength and recuperate, so as to indulge the NATO Air Force and make it relax its vigilance, and second, to accumulate strength for a large-scale counterattack in the future.

After all, in the current combat situation, when the exchange ratio between the enemy and the enemy is unfavorable, it is not necessary to fight with NATO on a large scale to attrition and compete for air supremacy in the theater of war, which is of little practical significance. It is better to temporarily show weakness and then use anti-radiation missiles to carry out a major counteroffensive, this strategy is completely plausible from a tactical point of view.

But here's the problem. Will the Americans let them spend all their time conserving their strength and then waiting for an opportunity to counterattack?

Since the terrible air battle in the skies of the Caucasus, in which dozens of warplanes besieged their opponents, suffering heavy casualties but achieving nothing, the U.S. Air Force (and probably the U.S. Navy) has been preparing for a long time, deliberately trying to break new ground in the Caucasus, or to realize the strategic value of the massive losses that had been lost. At such a moment, when the arrow is on the bow and there is no room for fire, once the Soviet air power retreats, it is conceivable that the NATO air force will further intensify its air attacks on first-line targets in the Black Sea and the Caucasus.

In this case, losing the air cover of air defense fighters and relying only on ground air defense forces to defend against the opponent's air strikes has not had a precedent for victory in the history of human warfare. It is estimated that even the Red Empire, which has the most powerful air defense force on the planet, does not want to make such an attempt.

Anyway, that's the case, so what should we do?

With Long Yun's return to the battlefield, this first ascension attack will soon give its own resounding answer.

After liftoff, he flew south according to the ground guidance, and when Long Yun approached the southern front and the guidance station prompted that several batches of targets were approaching, he turned on the N001 radar and used the fast scanning mode to monitor the vast sky ahead.

After all, after several days of high-intensity strikes by NATO, the surveillance conditions in some airspaces are deteriorating, and the information from ground guidance is not very complete; Therefore, he must now turn on the radar to grasp the general situation of the airspace in front of him, and then he can choose a suitable breakthrough for today's "sword sacrifice flag".

In addition, of course, not to mention, his attack today was originally a high-profile call, and turning on the radar to let the Americans notice him is also something that will be done sooner or later.

As the Didi prompt sound transmitted by the number of jù ended, observing the target guidance line on the display screen, Long Yun found that there were really a lot of targets over the Black Sea today, probably the idea of air superiority aircraft going forward to sweep and attack the flank infiltration of the group of aircraft? After consulting a large number of U.S. Air Force tactical manuals that had been declassified in the real world, he could be said to be familiar with this style of play, so he quickly decided on a head-on slash engagement strategy.

"Fifteenth, according to the predetermined plan, pay attention to follow my actions, over."

"Received on the fifteenth, done."

Breaking the radio silence, Long Yun first reminded his wingman to pay attention to following his actions, and then slightly turned his sidestick to the direction of seven o'clock, and two Su-27S loaded with infrared-guided missiles waited for an opportunity on the coastline side of the eastern side of the Black Sea; After a while, as the radar was subjected to a certain amount of electronic interference, and at the same time discovered that a number of targets were approaching in the direction of eight o'clock in front, with his skillful observation and analysis, Long Yun immediately recognized that the radar echoes of two to four F-15, F-14 and other heavy fighters on the screen should be on the screen, and the altitude of the enemy planes given by radar ranging was 6,000 meters, and the distance was about 90 kilometers.

These fighters, which appeared suddenly and approached north one after another, should be the air superiority combat force that the Americans came out to attract interception, and they were coming at themselves?

Sensing a threat imminently, Long Yun stared out of the cabin with his eyes, glancing at the radar display from time to time; Enemy planes appeared in the airspace far from the eastern Mediterranean, and he speculated that the targets were the U.S. Air Force F-15C, an improved version of the Slammer missile.

Thinking that he would take the initiative to play the trick for the first time after returning, a trace of sweat appeared in Long Yun's palms; Although he is already the number one ace of the Red Air Force who has experienced a hundred battles, it is the first time in this parallel world that he is really sitting in the cockpit of a fighter jet and facing the death invitation of the active bomb.

For AIM-120B, Long Yun can be said to be familiar with home, this kind of active radar guided missile has strong anti-jamming performance, high sensitivity of the self-homing head, and at the same time, because the volume and weight are not large, the overload maneuvering ability is also quite good, once it is really targeted, it is not a fun thing. Although with his fighter control level, it is naturally not a problem to throw off two or three active bombs, but Suvorov, who is following behind, may not be able to do the same; I brought him to the battle today to kill the enemy, just to let the 237th Regiment build up the confidence to fight against the initiative, so he must take into account the wingman's engagement ability, and he must not let his partner be beaten down by "Slammer"!

However...... What about the active bullets?

Fighting high since his liftoff, he had no intention of letting his opponent use "Slammer" to calmly shoot.

Just when the two Su-27S were flying south-west in front of the other, the four silver-gray heavy fighters attacking from the Black Sea were also gradually approaching.

Four F-15Cs from the 39th Squadron of the Eighth Air Wing of the U.S. Air Force, led by Squadron Commander Lieutenant Colonel Johnson, are performing the air superiority mission they have been accustomed to for many days; When receiving the dispatch from the command center and the display screen indicating that a suspected "flanker" fighter was approaching in the northwest direction, it immediately engaged the enemy in two two-plane formations arranged in front and rear echelons.

After receiving the order, he made tactical arrangements, and in the cockpit of the long plane of the back group of twin planes, Johnson quickly assigned the interception task to the other group of twin planes, since the target in front was confirmed to be an enemy aircraft, so he directly ignored the IFF identification and could launch an attack after approaching a distance of 50 kilometers; Then he himself maintained a speed of 900 kilometers per hour and gradually dragged it back, and opened the distance between himself and the previous group of twin planes that turned on afterburner to prepare for over-the-horizon occupancy.

For this veteran lieutenant colonel who has experienced many battles and has experience and lessons, although he has experienced the painful experience of being beaten by "Crazy Ivan" and escaping alone, he still survived step by step in the cruel battle; Now promoted to lieutenant colonel, he has basically mastered the way to use "Slammer" to win over-the-horizon air battles, leading morale-boosting young people to victory after victory, and he is also quite famous in the skies of the Caucasus.

Just like today, the Russians may have been beaten so badly that they sent two more "flanks" to attack the impregnable southern "eagle" wall - these polar bears who only know vodka are not ready to admit defeat, and do not know that the AA-10 "poplars" in their hands are no longer useless?

With a hint of contempt for the Russians, Johnson casually switched the radar operation mode, and he continued to use VS mode to target the opponent in the far northeast, while reminding the wingman on the radio to be careful to search the nearby airspace to prevent the deadly Russian fighter from launching a sneak attack from the coastline.

Now that there is already "Slammer" in hand, looking at the appearance of the opponent, today is another target shot without suspense! (To be continued......)
