When you know that there is a wall in front of you, do you dare to hit it with your head? Most people will subconsciously stop at the last minute, so those who commit suicide by hitting the wall are also worthy of admiration.
Now, it's the same reason. You know you are about to hit it, so do you dare to fly forward
Most people don't dare, but Nathan is heading toward the iceberg. At the same time, the missiles behind are also following the fighter plane, getting closer and closer.
The Tomcat fighter is also continuing to dive toward the iceberg, and when it is visible to the naked eye, it is about to hit it!
Suddenly, Nathan slammed the joystick and kicked the rudder. The fighter's wings spread out and the fuselage tilted to the right. Then, with a graceful curve, the belly of the plane rubbed the edge of the iceberg. The closest distance was unexpected. A few centimeters!
In a few moments, the Tomcat fighter turned sideways and passed by the iceberg, and the missile did not have such a fast speed.
R-23's mobility is not high at all, and the overload is not large enough. Now that it has passed the power range, its mobility is even more limited.
It has also reacted, and wants to continue chasing the missile's tail nozzle, but it has not been able to turn this turn.
"Boom!" The missile hit the iceberg and exploded in an instant. In the huge flame, the iceberg burst open and turned into blocks of ice.
Under the heavy overload, the blood of the body is flowing toward the lower body. Nathan feels a blackness in front of his eyes. According to his previous perception of the surrounding airspace, he pulls the control stick to make the fighter climb upwards. If the direction is wrong, he will plunge into the sea. went.
A few seconds later, just after the clear sky was restored, a bright spot appeared from the side airspace. It was the fighter that had launched the missile!
Humph, let you taste the latest missile!
Nathan quickly turned on the fire control system, activated a Sidewinder missile, and turned the nose towards the opponent. A few seconds later, a locking sound came from the headset.
Fire!
The AIM-9L missile, detached from the pylon, and flew forward. The Soviets, do you know the combat bombs that are fired head-on
In the distant sky, a ball of fire appeared. This missile actually received such a good effect. The other party didn't know how to avoid it, so it was hit directly
Nathan lamented his luck.
"Fifth, Lone Ranger, we have already shot down five enemy planes in this attack!" Gus's mouth was extremely excited.
What does it mean to be five? It means that Nathan has become a flying ace, because this is a two-seater aircraft, so the title of ace is granted to this crew!
This is just an air battle. If air battles continue to break out in the future, Nathan's luck will be overwhelming and technically adept. I wonder if it will set a new record
Gus was very happy.
"Attention, there is another enemy plane." Nathan said, "If we don't find it, our return will not go smoothly."
Be locked behind, that is the saddest thing, where is the last one? If one's own side continues to return, will the other side open fire behind
"Lone Ranger, we are running out of fuel." Gus was worried about his own fuel: "If we don't return immediately, I'm afraid we won't even be able to fly in Hokkaido."
In the fight just now, especially the constant power on, the fuel consumption is very fast. It is precisely because the fuel is running low and the body is very light. Just now Nathan was able to throw off the missile from the iceberg, of course it’s his own. The technology is in place, the engine is powerful, and the body becomes lighter, which is also a very important reason.
"The opponent has fired two medium-range bombs just now. According to their mounts, the rest should be fighting bombs." Nathan thought for a while and continued: "Since there is not much fuel, let's fly back. Up."
As long as it is not a medium-range projectile, the remaining short-range projectiles, such as the R-60, have a short range, low power, and not much threat.
It's time to go back, especially the mounted investigative pod. The contents are too precious to fight.
"Oh, God!" Just then, Gus exclaimed again: "Are the Soviets crazy?"
On the screen, there are densely packed bright spots. The Soviets dispatched at least ten fighters and flew over in the airspace fighting on their side. It seems that the Soviets' meaning is very obvious, that is, they want to strangle themselves.
Think about it, too, if you kill the other five planes by yourself, the other party must be crazy!
"Ignore them, we fly very low." Nathan said.
There are icebergs everywhere, and unless the Soviets use early warning aircraft, it is impossible for the Soviets to find themselves in the iceberg.
"However, our fuel must not be able to fly that far."
High-altitude flight saves fuel, low-altitude flight, fuel consumption is very large, according to Gus's calculation, your own fuel, high-altitude is enough, not even low-altitude.
"So, we have to call the early warning aircraft." Nathan said, pressing the switch of the intercom: "The lone ranger calls Kitty Hawk, the lone ranger calls Kitty Hawk, please prepare a tanker, please prepare a tanker. "
"Kitty received it, immediately prepare for the tanker." A voice came from the headset: "111 Squadron is about to arrive in the airspace, please hold on."
"The Lone Ranger received it."
The airspace currently flying is already a standard international airspace. Nathan is also feeling in his heart. In the legend of later generations, there is a mysterious air battle on Sakhalin. Now, my arrival has triggered this air battle. The source of it
No matter what, it has nothing to do with me. Now I have a rattlesnake left, which is about to run out of fuel, and I no longer have the ability to continue fighting. Moreover, my mission was originally a reconnaissance flight. How did I fight it at the end? Woke up
The Tomcat fighter was flying slowly over the sea at an ultra-low altitude. At this time, the dark clouds of the war had already enveloped the airspace.
This is a small incident because of the aerial reconnaissance being gang-blown, and now the melee between the large groups of aircraft on both sides seems to be about to begin.
The Tomcat fighters are set up at an altitude of 12,000 meters. Compared with the Tomcats who only perform reconnaissance missions like Nathan, these are all mounted in air combat. Although there are not many mounted, each fighter has Below, there are two phoenixes!
"Attention, we have found the target and we are now ready to lock it on." The deputy squadron commander of 111 Squadron shouted on the radio: "Let's use Tomcat's radar to tell them our strength and rescue our captain!"
At this time, in front of them, in the airspace of more than 100 kilometers, the Soviet aircraft group also found them. Originally planned to continue to contain Nathan, they did not eat until the sound of the radar warning receiver in the headset sounded. After that, they also had to change their formation again, and also set up an interception line at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
It seems that the battle will start at any moment. (End of this chapter)
