On the deck, the steam was flooding, the power of the catapult was activated to the maximum, and the Tomcat fighter unfolded its wings and flew into the sky.
On the bridge, seeing all of this, Nathan’s eyes were full of joy. Yes, this is the dream of many people. In later generations, even if the Tomcat retires, there will still be a large number of Tomcat fans. .
Now, the high-intensity take-off and landing training and confrontation training of the 111 Fighter Squadron are proceeding in an orderly manner during the voyage. The station in the Far East is also gradually beckoning to them, and the situation in the Far East is also deteriorating.
"We have got the exact news." Petrobori said: "Our ep3 electronic reconnaissance plane was collided with the Soviet MiG-25 at close range and its body was damaged. It was forced to land on Sokolovka."
"How is this possible?" Nathan was extremely surprised when he heard this, what's the matter? How is it exactly the same as in that novel? Impossible, impossible!
Nathan’s recent reaction is really weird. A few days ago, he said that it might be a collision. Many reasons were cited. Now, the result has come out. Why don’t you believe it
Seeing the eyes of other people, Nathan knew that he had lost his temper again, suppressing the powerful shock deep in his heart, Nathan continued to change the subject: "They landed there, even if they landed in the water, they couldn’t go there. Ah! The Soviets' backward electronic industry is their weakness. If the Soviets discovered that we had already started using integrated circuits and eliminated electron tubes, and the Soviets would learn from us, then our confrontation would be even more difficult."
That's an electronic reconnaissance plane! There are the most cutting-edge American electronic technologies. Once these technologies are acquired by the Soviets, the impact will be far-reaching.
What the Soviet Union lacks is cutting-edge technology, and what it lacks is microelectronics. If it catches up in this regard, will history follow its original trajectory
Nathan worries inexplicably, and at the same time, that faint guess is also torturing him, shouldn't he, he has traveled into the story of the Red Soviet Union, right? In that, the Soviets finally destroyed the United States, but did they come to save the United States
It's too confusing.
However, it may be a coincidence, and it may not be that bad.
Nathan's words won the approval of others.
"Yes, so our government is putting pressure on the Soviet government to return our planes and pilots as soon as possible." Blanche said: "We have speeded up and headed towards the Far East. When we arrive, we will give The Soviets are under tremendous pressure."
"Colonel, I have an idea." Nathan said, "Let's go to the Sea of Japan and have a live ammunition shooting there, especially a triple sonic drone, how about it?"
Their station was originally located in the east of the island country. The sea area where they were active was also in the Pacific Ocean in the east of the island country. Between the island country and the Soviet Far East, there was the Sea of Japan.
Nathan's idea was to run there to show off his strength.
However, his idea was immediately rejected by Colonel Blanche: "We cannot be impulsive, cannot expand the incident, cannot..."
"Weak countries have no diplomacy." Nathan is completely speechless. In this era, the Soviet Union is aggressive and the United States is retreating everywhere. The captains of these aircraft carriers must be politically conscious. Unexpectedly, all of them are soft.
What are you afraid of? The more afraid he is, the more he will be able to keep up with him.
Nathan's words made Blanche feel dull on his face, yes, he felt ashamed of what he said just now.
Fortunately, Petropaoli quickly changed the topic: "Everyone, a good news. The new Tomcat fighter produced by Grumman has decided to add one to us. This fighter is directly from Grumman. The company flew over, and after refueling in the air, it landed on our aircraft carrier. Well, depending on the time, it will be there in another half an hour."
After dropping an aircraft, the 111 Fighter Squadron lost a certain amount of combat effectiveness. After all, with the decrease in the number of carrier-based aircraft, one aircraft is important.
"How is the salvage of our plane that fell out of the sea?" Nathan continued to ask.
Adding a new fighter plane, that should be right, and the fighter plane that fell into the sea is more concerned about Nathan. After all, they all say that r33 is Phoenix. In case the Soviets take away the plane and the Phoenix, yes. It is a great threat to ourselves.
The MiG-25 is abnormal enough, but its airborne radar and missiles limit its capabilities. If it is replaced with a MiG-31, it will have the same interception distance of 100 kilometers as the Tomcat fighter. It is very powerful and very abnormal. .
Hearing Nathan’s question, Petrobori shook his head: “The salvage was not going well, and we also found a Soviet trawler moving nearby.”
"Then why not send nr1?" Nathan was also anxious, blurting out.
"What is nr1?" Blanche couldn't help asking. Even the captain of his aircraft carrier didn't know the existence of nr1. It was a top-secret submarine, but now, Nathan suddenly said it.
"It's a special submarine. Only it can salvage our fighters. Don't let our surface salvage boats waste their efforts. If they are salvaged by the Soviets, the consequences will be serious." Nathan continued.
"How did you know?" Blanche asked.
"Guess." After Nathan said this, he stood up and walked out. He could have been in contact with Emily when he was a school instructor, and then heard about it.
Regardless of him, Nathan's mind has been messed up these past few days. He clearly knows that the more you are afraid of something and the more you find it impossible, the more the truth is.
I'm in a bad mood.
In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, a Tomcat fighter crashed into the sea.
The p3c anti-submarine patrol aircraft flew back and forth on the sea. As soon as it found a Soviet trawler below, it would lower its altitude and drive away.
"The fishing boat below, please leave this sea immediately, please leave immediately."
The fishing boat below, of course, would not leave immediately, and deliberately circled with the anti-submarine patrol aircraft overhead. In the entanglement between the two sides, the U.S. Navy’s ocean-going tugboat finally arrived at the scene. At the same time, the ocean-going tugboat returned. It was equipped with a side scan sonar supplied by a hydrographic survey company in Florida and used it to carefully search the bottom of the sea to determine where the Tomcat fighter jet sank.
Now, it has searched back and forth more than a dozen times in this sea area, but found nothing, and did not find the Tomcat fighter at all. At that time, the Kitty Hawk had been calibrated with precise coordinates. It is said that it is easy to find
On the tugboat, Major David Sargent was very strange. (End of this chapter)
