Chapter 115 eager to try
"Kakamas is closer to the West Coast, but if our aircraft carrier formations go around there, it is easy for blacks to discover our intentions and then guard against it." The Director of the Aviation Corps continued: "So, our tactic is to continue to stay in the current waters, raid through long distances, and then raid the bases there."
Now, almost all the eastern part of South Africa have been liberated, and the blacks are retreating to the west, so their air base is also in the west, but if their aircraft carrier formations go around, they will definitely be alarmed. It is better to do this now and run over long distances.
Hearing his words, the pilots below all thought to themselves. Christopher first asked: "This is beyond the range of our fighter jets. If we want to carry out this raid, we must refuel in the air."
If the round trip is more than 2,000 kilometers and full of bombs, our fighter planes have indeed exceeded the range. Unless they land on land when they come back, they can only refuel in the air.
"Yes, we will be in four aerial refueling aircraft at our South African base to support our mission," the director of the aviation corps continued.
Air refueling has been considered. Although South Africa proposes that it can be done by them, the current South African Air Force still has several C47 transport aircraft, some of which have air refueling capabilities, the Soviet Navy is of course not at ease, and it is more at ease with its own tanker aircraft.
"Well, since there is an air tanker, we have no problem." Christopher said: "It will definitely be a simple bombing mission."
"This mission is not simple." At this moment, Andrey spoke out: "Although the two aircraft shot down by the South African Air Force this time are the simplest Phantom 3, the quality of the pilots of the South African Air Force is quite high. It is very strange that they did not find any trace of enemy aircraft, and the radar of the ground forces did not find it."
Andre looked at all the pilots with his eyes: "So, we speculate that the Americans might have sent their stealth planes to South Africa for actual combat tests."
The details cannot stand the scrutiny. After careful analysis, Andrei believes that the United States may bring their advanced aircraft to achieve results!
Stealth aircraft have great advantages over non-stealth aircraft! And, on the other hand, if the American stealth aircraft matured earlier, then the advanced active radar-guided air-to-air missiles that the Americans were equipped with might be mature!
In air combat, avoiding active air-to-air missiles is not only due to excellent psychological quality and correct response, but the luck of the pilot is also very important. It is good, it is luck!
After all, although Andre was a test pilot in later generations, he knew the embarrassment faced by the Air Force. At that time, the Air Force was forced to use its second-generation aircraft to face the third-generation aircraft in the Western world and use simple missiles to face other people's active air-to-air missiles, and proposed various tactics, but the result was very depressing.
If you want to fight against active radar-guided air-to-air missiles, the only way is to develop the same active radar-guided air-to-air missiles! If you want to fight against stealth aircraft, the only option is to have the same stealth aircraft!
After decades of accumulation and development, China finally made breakthroughs in all aspects and had the capital to truly face advanced aircraft in the Western world.
Now, history has changed a lot. When Americans may deploy stealth aircraft in South Africa, they must also be treated with caution!
Stealth plane? Hearing this, Christopher's eyes suddenly shone: "Comrade Marshal, I ask our Su-37 dual-plane formation to carry out air combat, we fly at the front of the formation!"
Finally, there was a war! Moreover, it was fighting with the most advanced American fighter jets. Only in this kind of battle could it truly show its ability! Christoph couldn't help but want to try it out.
"Yes, this is also our plan of action." Andrei said: "If you really encounter an American stealth aircraft, Christopher, your two-plane formation is under great pressure. You must first shoot down the Americans and protect our formation!"
Their stealth aircraft are not many, only two. If they encounter a large fleet of stealth aircraft from the United States, it will be troublesome. However, the possibility is very small. After all, it is only 1984. Even if the American stealth aircraft are fixed, it is just equipped with troops. The number of such aircraft cannot be too large, and it is even more impossible to be brought to the battlefield.
At most, only one or two aircraft, just check it.
The pilots in the conference room were eager to try, and the action plan was quickly formulated!
If there is no need to refuel in the air in the middle, then it is best to attack at night. When I came back, I just started a night strike. However, because I had to refuel in the air, only 50% of pilots who were proficient in the night aerial refueling technology were proficient in the night aerial refueling technology, so the final attack time was set until the morning.
April in the southern hemisphere is already the turn of summer and autumn, with clear sky and low waves, which is a good weather for flying!
The apron of the USSR aircraft carrier and the deck behind were already covered with fighter jets, and white smoke filled the runway of the four catapults in front.
The advantages of catapults are fully displayed. If it is an oblique deck, you can only take off one at a time, and the interval is also long. Now, within one second, four Su-33s with bombs are ejected into the air!
In the first batch, twelve Su-33s mounted on the ground attack were ejected, and a simple field airport was enough to destroy. At the same time, after waiting for two minutes and the boiler increased the pressure again, the second batch of six Su-33s mounted on the Air-Out and a Jacques-44 early warning aircraft flew into the sky!
The steam on the deck was gone, and the shutdown area behind was empty. At this time, through the elevator on the side, two flat black fighter jets were lifted up.
Sitting in the cab and watching the deck personnel pulling their fighter planes to the ejection position, Christoph was in a state of great excitement and was finally about to take off the battle!
Although Christoph's two-plane ejected last, he was not worried at all. Soon, he would fly to the front!
Chapter completed!
