In the rear compartment, Graham was waiting.
Nathan's plan is the only counterattack plan. Among the low-strength Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft flying at Mach 3, this soft kill weapon is also the only plan.
However, its timing is too strict.
If you turn on the headlights too early, the opponent will be alert and unable to illuminate the opponent's temporary blindness. If you turn on the headlights too late, the person has already opened fire and you will be blown up in the sky.
The attack distance of the cannon is about a few hundred meters, and the best distance for this headlight is also a few hundred meters. This also means that you can turn on your own headlights almost before the opponent fires, or even the moment it fires. .
How accurate is this
On the one hand, it is necessary to rely on the long-range early warning radar at the rear. The power of that radar is strong enough to be installed on Hokkaido and can already search for fighter activities in the opposite Primorye.
It can provide early warning.
Secondly, the main thing is to rely on Blackbird's own observation.
After all, the long-range warning radar is only able to find the target, and the accuracy is very poor. It is up to you to grasp the key timing.
Therefore, this specially modified trainer has, on the one hand, placed a headlight array device in the original reconnaissance camera window, and on the other hand, it has added a panoramic window for downward observation.
Graham in the rear cabin needs to stick his eyes tightly to this observation window to be able to observe the conditions of the airspace below.
A machine gun attack cannot be a head-on attack. The reaction time left for the opponent is too short, and the attack is definitely a collision.
It is also impossible to bite the tail, because tail biting requires the latter to have a higher speed. When the speed of both sides is the same, it is impossible to enter the tail accurately.
Therefore, the Soviet interception plan is a carefully planned intersection of flight tracks. Oneself is flying horizontally in the sky, and the interceptor follows an upward throwing line. It happens to meet with one's own aircraft at the place around the apex of the curve. The shooting window is only a few seconds.
In this way, it is enough to observe the airspace below.
If it were in the missile era, as long as you listened to the sound of the radar warning receiver, you would know what the other party was doing, and then you could maneuver.
Now, if the other party is cunning enough, they will not turn on the radar at all to avoid stimulating their radar warning receiver.
"Nothing has been discovered yet." Graham said.
"Keep watching, the Soviets will definitely get the bait." Nathan said.
The tail of the Blackbird reconnaissance plane dragged two orange tail flames, and the front fuselage emitted a faint blue light and entered the Soviet airspace.
At this time, Andre also had already taken off and was climbing continuously.
"The course is correct, please keep it up."
"There is still fifty kilometers to the goal."
Fifty kilometers, this is already a relatively short distance. Andrei's hand turned several switches to open his airborne radar, but when he reached the last switch, he still gave up. , Dial those few back again.
The use of airborne radar is just to find the target more accurately, but at the same time it will start to stun the snake. In fact, the accuracy of the ground guidance is high enough, and coupled with my good eyesight, I can find it visually.
Thinking of this, he looked into the sky through the front lens. The narrow lens in front of him seemed quite inconvenient.
The high air pressure is low. Although the cockpit is pressurized, if the aircraft fails and needs to be ejected, the unprotected pilot will die if he goes out.
Therefore, they have to wear pressurized flight suits and special helmets.
The gsh-6 high-altitude pressurized helmet looks the same as a diver's helmet. The front glass can be opened, but when closed, it can maintain airtightness with the helmet. Oxygen is delivered directly through the helmet.
This piece of glass is transparent. There is no black goggles. In the high air, goggles are not needed at all.
In fact, depending on the mission, for example, when they perform low-altitude flight missions, they will also wear the most common ZSh-5 helmet, which comes with special black goggles.
Now, as the altitude continues to rise, especially after it exceeds 25,000 meters, the surroundings begin to gradually become darker. As the light dimmed, the pupils of Andre's eyes began to gradually enlarge, adapting to the current environmental conditions.
It's not all black, it's just a kind of gray-black, and going up, it's all black, and in the distance, on the edge of the earth, you will see a circle of blue color.
This kind of scenery appearing in the sky is really fascinating.
But now, it's not the time to consider this kind of problem, he followed the ground CGI's guidance, and soon he found the target visually.
There are still 20 kilometers away, and the interception route is normal!
The outline of the Blackbird reconnaissance plane is not yet visible, but he can see the two flames at the tail. In the dark space background, the two flames are the most obvious targets.
Just like last time!
Andre turned on the weapon insurance, and after a while, he used his double-barreled cannon to let this black bird fly into ashes!
Andre didn’t worry too much. The MiG-25 is a stainless steel fighter, so it can withstand the vibration of the cannon. The Blackbird is made of titanium alloy and it is not strong enough. If it is also equipped with a cannon, it will shoot at itself. If it is, it is definitely a dead end.
No matter what purpose the Americans are here, as long as the other person comes, let the other person die.
His only worry is that the opponent has changed the flight route, and his interception window is too small. As long as the opponent changes the course, he will pass by the opponent, and there is no chance of interception again.
There is a kind of you don't run!
Of course Nathan won't run. Now, they are waiting for the Soviets to come up!
"Found a MiG-25, about five kilometers away from us." Graham's voice also became tense.
Observing from low altitude to high altitude, it is easy to observe under the black space background, but from high altitude to low altitude, it is not easy, after all, there is an image of the ground as the background, which is difficult to distinguish.
Although the distance is only five kilometers, the preparation time is more than enough!
The Soviets, really came, success or failure in one fell swoop!
Nathan in the front cabin had already relaxed at this time instead.
What Nathan is most worried about is that the Soviets will not come up, or the one who came up is not Andre. Now, the Soviets have come. As for whether it is Andre, it is unrecognizable. Give the gift of the reconnaissance plane to this pilot of the Soviet Air Defense Air Force who came to intercept!
"Keep tracking, don't worry," Nathan said. (End of this chapter)
