One person is under siege, and this situation, Viktor Rezenov is already commonplace.

Just like now, driving the white No. 20 Su-27M2 with the red star shining on the wings, speeding through the vast sky under the rising sun, flexibly dodging one incoming missile after another, burning out of hot flares, jamming chaff flying all over the sky, white tracks left by rapid maneuvers, and the chaotic sky background of multi-plane melee, but it could not affect Long Yun's combat rhythm at all.

In the fierce battle, consciousness snooping has been playing a role, and the plane is easily navigated between the US fighters painted with blue circles and white stars, and the young people are now in a good state of mind.

He knows that in the face of the "backfire" hundreds of kilometers away, the mentality of the Americans will change unconsciously, and the current multi-plane encirclement and suppression scene seems to be dangerous, but the US pilots in it are difficult to concentrate on the enemy, since the bombers of the Red Navy are approaching, there will always be people who can't help but start thinking, once the mothership is attacked, next, will they have a deck to land?

Distraction in battle is, of course, a big no-no for pilots.

However, at the moment, the battlefield is so turbulent, and it is impossible for some of the participants not to think nonsense, not to mention the terrifying strength of the Sukhoi that is now fighting with everyone, no one can deny it, can it really be solved with such a rush to the top, or ...... This guy can't be defeated at all, and he, and his squadron, have been used as cannon fodder by the fleet commander?

In the sky above the ocean at dawn, the battle shape became more and more chaotic, and fighter planes with different paints and emblems confronted and chased each other under the sky. And beyond this airspace crisscrossed by tracks. Long-range bombers of the Red Navy have approached the launch perimeter of the Kh-15 missile. The battle between spear and shield is about to break out again.

In the face of a large group of "backfires" without fighter escorts, the F-14s temporarily scattered near the air defense interception circle were all on standby, but because of the lack of early warning aircraft and unified battlefield scheduling, the "Tomcats" full of "immortal birds" could only fight on their own -- in this case, the young men of the US Navy have also practiced many times, but exercises are one thing, and in the face of so many "backfires" attacking from different directions, chaos on the scene is inevitable.

In fact. For Soviet long-range bombers attacking from multiple directions, even if the E-2C is on duty, the U.S. Navy's air defense interceptors can basically only engage the enemy on their own.

The E-2C "Hawkeye", just looking at the size, especially the wingspan, seems to be a big one, in fact, the captain is only slightly more than the MiG-29, there are only five members on the entire aircraft, in addition to the main and co-pilot, the personnel serving the AN/APS-145 are three, which also includes a radar operator, so in fact, there are only two people who command the group to fight.

Such a meagre staffing. It is more than enough to deal with small-scale enemy aircraft attacks, and it is also more than enough to deal with the intensive assault of large groups of "backfire." However, if, as it is today, the Tu-68M3s of the 22nd Bomber Aviation Regiment of the Red Navy are all switched to afterburner and then strike together in a centripetal attack, the command and guidance needs of the "Hawkeye" will overflow, and the radar system will be able to identify and track so many targets, but the battlefield information officers and air traffic controllers will be inadequate.

So now, in the face of the threat of multiple directions breaking through the defense one after another and getting closer and closer, a batch of F-14A+ and F-14D in the United States are cheering up and preparing to launch interceptions according to the routine of training and exercises.

In the face of the swarming bombers, the squadron leader's consideration was the same as that of the rear commanders, believing that the Russians were determined to succeed this time, so most of them would violently penetrate the defense to a distance of about 300 kilometers and then launch missiles, otherwise even if a salvo was implemented, it would be difficult to pose a substantial threat to the United States' aircraft carrier battle group.

The wish was roughly the same, and unlike the morale-boosting pilots in the clear sky, the generals' staff on the "Roosevelt" were not so motivated, and they wanted to know whether these fan-like "backfires" were bluffing or really planning a deadly raid.

In addition to this, there is also the question, where is the group of Russian bombers in the western sky?

Before the two E-2Cs were hit one after another, the US Navy had detected two groups of Soviet bombers, and now about 20 planes in the northwest direction have appeared on the radar display screen of the "Tomcat" fighters, but the west side does not know what the movement is, and the F-14 fighters rushing to the battlefield have been unable to take place for a long time, all because of the hateful "sickle" to obstruct them.

According to the U.S. Navy's contingency plan, in the event that the E-2C is unable to maintain patrols for various reasons, the backup aircraft in the fleet should be immediately replaced, either from the "Hawkeye" that is urgently ejected on an aircraft carrier, or more often from a nearby airspace.

But now, these two plans are far water does not quench the thirst of the near, a catapult launched E-2C is still desperately rushing forward, but can not break through the speed limit of 350 knots, although another early warning aircraft located in the southwest direction of the fleet has the heart to go, but the command center does not dare to rashly order, this direction may also have Russian bombers attacking, so, this "Eagle Eye" can only tremble and move closer to the north, for a while can not see the "backfire" in the distant sky.

A heavy firepower offensive and defensive battle, where you can't see where the enemy is, is of course detrimental to the morale of the defending side.

Not only that, even if it is not clear where the big guys of Ivan are, the F-14s of the U.S. Navy could have worn down the patience of the Russians with a long time in the air, as long as the batch of "Backfire" approaches the aircraft carrier battle group, then sooner or later it will enter the sight of the "Tomcat", and in the range of engagement of AN/AWG-9 or AN/APG-71, it is not a big problem whether there is a "Hawkeye" to command and coordinate on the side.

But now, this qiē has all become an extravagant hope!

The VF-154 "Skeleton" squadron, and the F-14D of the VF-31 "Cat Man" squadron next to it knew that their duties were heavy, but now they couldn't stand by calmly, just waiting for Ivan to emerge from the sky and throw the "immortal birds", these cats full of AIM-54C and at least half of the oil inside were really a little clumsy, and they were really a little clumsy, and they were really a little stumbling against the white No. 20 that was rushing and full of murderous atmosphere.

"Scythe", damn Russian madman, why is this guy still dangling at sea, and how can people carry out air defense interception missions in this way?

Radar scanning, naked eye gaze, gray-white fighters in the early morning sky are quite conspicuous against a large blue background, and the US Navy pilots who have long understood the power of the "Caucasus Grim Reaper" are simply helpless against this haunting Russian "flanker."

As an elite member of the U.S. Navy, the F-14 is also the most elite air weapon of the U.S. Navy, but now, none of the young men of the two VF squadrons dare to challenge the "Scythe" - this is not about will, or courage, in order to intercept the "backfire", the Americans' F-14D fighter tank is full, full of six "immortal birds", plus two soy sauce "rattlesnakes", the original heavy body of the "super cat" combat weight almost reached 30 tons, there is no peace at all" Flanker "head-on confrontation with the capital."

Not only that, but if you look at the weapon configuration of the "Super Cat", the AIM-54C is a joke against a highly maneuverable fighter, while the AIM-9L, which has a limited range, must enter combat if it is to be used.

But-

If you want to get into martial arts......

In the face of the "Grim Reaper" who kills people without blinking, isn't it a big joke to control a fat cat with a thrust weight ratio of only 0.8?

Before the liftoff, the mission report was to "intercept the 'Backfire'", which was the main job of the F-14 fleet, but now a provocative "flanker" has emerged, and the American pilots are very clear about who is piloting the fighter with gray and white camouflage and red stars on the fuselage, and no one is dizzy, so no one rushes up to take the initiative to engage in the battle.

The Russian fighters, if they were the same heavy "Sea Guards", the kind of fighters that only the AA-10 could use, the Sky Knights of the United States were certainly not afraid at all.

However, compared with the gray-blue camouflage Red Navy carrier-based aircraft, after paying the heavy price of several "Tomcats", anyone can imagine the strength of the Red Star Sukhoi that swaggered and didn't care in the sky; A Russian land-based fighter plane that suddenly appeared over the far sea, it is believed that it also has an AA-12 "Viper" on board, and it is controlled by a rampaging "Fighter Butcher", this kind of thing, in the eyes of all enemies, is probably equivalent to a fire demon from hell, but if there is any other choice, no one will take the initiative to send them to death!

His eyes were fixed on the gray and white "flankers" in the sky, and he swallowed a few times unconsciously, and this is probably what the young men of the United States thought.

However, fighting is not a matter of wishful thinking.

The defending side tried to stabilize its position, and even planned to ignore the "flankers" to concentrate on the enemy, but the "backfire" on the horizon had not yet shown a trace, but the hideous and terrifying white twentieth pounced on these "tomcats" who were lined up to meet them; Seeing the "Grim Reaper" charge, the Americans drove their planes left and right, on the one hand, to get rid of the radar tracking of enemy planes, and on the other hand, they also tried to outflank this menacing Russian trump card.
