Chapter 144 Figure-22 Blindfold
In the northeast, more than a dozen aircraft took off from the Zezha Island are coming towards the direction of the aircraft carrier formation! Judging from the reflected radar echo and the opponent's flight altitude, it should be bombers!
What happened to the Soviets? Is this the rhythm of fighting a world war? The commanders of the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier formation, which received the news, had a short circuit in their brains instantly.
Now, the US Air Force and the Island Self-Defense Force are fighting with the Soviet Air Defense Forces on Sakhalin Island. However, this is just a small-scale friction, just a spark or two in the Cold War.
Because of the incident of the civil aviation passenger plane being shot down, both sides couldn't help it for a moment. It was like two children fighting for a toy. When they finished crying, they should do whatever they wanted.
This is also the idea of the senior American executives, but now, this idea seems unrealistic.
After all, air combat in Sakhalin is a scale, using bombers to bomb their own aircraft carrier formations is another scale.
Aircraft carriers are a symbol of the US's strength. If the US aircraft carrier is sunk by the Soviets, it will mean the beginning of World War III!
The Soviets are all crazy!
The United States does not want to expand its scale or evolve into an uncontrollable war. After just experiencing the Vietnam War, the US team no longer has the confidence to fight another war! Especially the collision between the two giants will evolve into a nuclear war at any time! But now, the situation is developing in a direction of deterioration.
"Immediately order the Tomcat fighter jets to give up their original missions and perform air defense interception missions!" said Captain Colonel Steve.
A joint operation with the Air Force can be pushed, at most it is impossible to hunt the MiG-25s. The Air Force's F-15s are not difficult to deal with other Soviet fighters. Moreover, the Air Force has been boasting about how excellent their F-15 fighters are, so they just let the Air Force out of pigeons.
There is no way to do this. As a navy carrier-based aviation force, one naturally takes into account its air defense mission first, and more than a dozen enemy planes come over. If it is really a big bomber, the danger will still be very high.
Moreover, we cannot fire first. If this is a conspiracy of the Soviets, our own Tomcat fighter jets fire from a distance and shoot down the other side with the Immortal Missile missile, it will really lead to a world war!
As an aircraft carrier captain, you must not only have military command capabilities, but also have political insight.
Other Tomcat carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier were urgently raised from the hangar, preparing to continue to eject the carrier-based aircraft if the situation changes seriously. Even the A-7 carrier-based aircraft was equipped with the Rattlesnake missile and had to rush upward at critical moments.
The connection with the Air Force has always been disconnected. Steve no longer cared about the bad things about the Air Force, so he decided to deal with the current problems first!
The Tomcat fighter immediately turned, and the wings swept back in a swift manner. They rushed quickly and headed towards the direction of the large targets.
Everyone stopped talking in the aircraft carrier's command cabin, waiting for a reply in the air.
When flying to a distance of 300 kilometers north of the aircraft carrier, eight Tomcat fighters turned into cruise state, and two Tomcat fighters continued to move forward and rushed towards the large targets 200 kilometers away.
"Report to the Kitty Hawk, the boxer is approaching, a distance of one hundred." The sound coming back from hundreds of kilometers away was so long.
"Continue to get closer, be careful not to attack actively." Colonel Ted said with a radio command.
This is really not a good idea! In the air in the oxygen mask, George felt his breathing be a little rapid.
As a carrier-based aircraft pilot, George is not unfamiliar with these games of the Cold War.
But now, it is not that we continue to play hide-and-seek! The Air Force has already fought with the Soviets. Now, the Soviets have suddenly sent a large number of bombers. Once these bombers are escorted fighters and their target is to sink their own aircraft carriers, they will definitely launch missiles. As the way to explore George's two-plane formation, it is easy to be shot down by the other side.
However, now is not the time to worry about these things. Since you have already flown over, you must be vigilant enough!
The radar operator at the rear was also in high tension. He stared at the display of the awg-9 radar intently. The signals on it were constantly refreshing. If the opponent launched an attack, smaller spots would definitely be divided from those spots.
The distance is slowly approaching, and at this moment, time seems to have slowed down.
Finally, you can see it visually! George took a deep breath.
When he saw the opponent's formation, the opponent was turning left, George pushed the operating rod and turned right, and thus followed the opponent's formation.
The slender body and pointed nose are the most representative ones, the two high-thrust engines below the vertical tail. From the back, they look like eye masks, so NATO gave the code name for eye masks.
"Call the Eagle, call the Eagle, boxer report, visually judged as the picture-22 eye mask, visually judged as the picture-22 eye mask, the size of a flight group, no carrying kitchen was found, no carrying kitchen was found!"
The as-4 "Kitchen" anti-ship missile, the Soviet Union code-named KH-22 "burya" storm, looks like a small aircraft. This is a large strategic air-to-ground missile developed and equipped by the Soviet Union. It uses a liquid rocket engine with a range of more than 400 kilometers and a speed of Mach 25. It can attack a wide range of maritime and land targets, such as aircraft carriers and other large ships, military industrial centers and military bases, etc. This missile is the nightmare of the US aircraft carrier formation.
However, this large missile cannot be installed in the Tu-22's belly bullet bay and can only be hung under the belly. Therefore, no missile was found, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Moreover, at this time, the Tu-22 formation had turned and flew to the eastern seas, and two Tomcat fighters continued to carry out the surveillance mission.
Looking at the American Tomcat fighter jet on one side, Igor Milosevic, the leader of the 777th Regiment, showed a contemptuous look.
These Tu-22 bombers, the 777th Regiment of the Tulu, transferred from the base on Sakhalin Island to the Haiyan Base on Itulupu Island for this operation!
Although there is no missile mounted under the belly of the aircraft, they have just completed a simulated attack! They have recently reached a position of 400 kilometers of the aircraft carrier formation. If they are carrying anti-ship missiles, they have just completed the attack! At this time, countless missiles will fly towards the American aircraft carrier formation!
