The ground crew is very familiar with the Mozu. After all, the A-7 attack aircraft can be equipped, but it is the first time to mount it on the Tomcat.
Fortunately, the weapon interfaces are all universal. How to hang the sparrow and the Mockingbird.
When the mounting is complete, the aircraft carrier has been speeding up again.
The Tomcat fighters were lifted up from the hangar, and they attacked again and started again.
Although they were busy in the middle of the night last night, and even some people couldn't sleep in the second half of the night, they were obliged to say they wanted to fight.
Lieutenant Kosiczsky was sitting in his Tomcat, and he looked to the side. Nathan's fighter plane was on his side.
American aircraft carriers have four catapults.
There are two bows and two angled decks. When attacking at full speed, these four catapults can be ejected together. The dispatch efficiency is several grades higher than that of the Liaoning, which leaped over the flying deck at the bow. There is no catapult. It can't be regarded as a super aircraft carrier in the true sense, it can only be said to solve the problem.
This is the case now. When Kosiczsky saw Nathan's fighter plane on the side, Nathan stretched out his hand from the cockpit and waved at him.
Come on! He can understand Nathan's gestures.
There have been no results in several attacks. This time, there must be gains!
Kosiczsky thought to himself in his heart.
At this moment, the signal for take-off came from the earphones. After making a proficient action, the two Tomcat fighters, two seconds apart, bounced out of the two catapults one after another, and the tails were hot. Flame, the Tomcat fighter accelerated its climb.
The power of the TF41 is not particularly outstanding. Compared with the original thrust, it has not increased much, but its reliability is much better, because the TF41 engine will not surge.
As Nathan's wingman, Kosichsky quickly followed.
Then, as the aircraft ejected one after another, they lined up into a wall in the sky. This is a standard air combat tactic to maximize the intensity of their firepower.
From the sea area in the southeast of the island nation, they flew quickly to the north, and when they were still 300 kilometers away from the Nemuro Strait, they had already flown over the A-7 attack aircraft formation.
"Hawkeye, Hawkeye, I am a lone ranger, please indicate the enemy's target." Nathan yelled over the radio.
"The airspace over the Nemuro Strait is clean and no target was found." The Hawkeye early warning aircraft responded.
The Soviets didn't even dispatch a fighter plane? This makes Nathan very strange, do they really have no confidence in their aviation power
The second-generation aircraft of the Soviets did not have any advantage in front of American fighter jets. The MiG-25 was vulnerable to tomcat hunting. Yesterday, the Soviets were beaten ugly. Could it be that they were so ugly. And give up the use of air power
Wouldn't it be a matter of handing over air supremacy
Of course not. The Soviets must also know the importance of air supremacy. Right now, the Soviets have not moved. They must have decided to change their style of play!
"Guth, pay attention to the ground, pay attention to the radar warning receiver signal." Nathan yelled to his radar officer.
ground? Gus was still puzzled.
Nathan had a bad feeling.
They are used to seize air supremacy, and Tomcat's current AWG-9 radar does not have a ground synthetic aperture mode and cannot map the ground. Therefore, it is not clear about the threat to the ground.
What can the ground threaten
Just look at the map.
The Nemuro Strait extends from Cape Shiretoko in Shari-cho, Shari-gun in the west, Cape Nossab in Nemuro-city, Hokkaido in the south, Kunashiro Island and Kamai Islands in the east. This is a long narrow strait.
The width of Cape Shiretoko at the northern end of the Shiretoko Peninsula and the northern end of Kunashiro Island is about 70 kilometers, the width of Cape Nashabu and the southernmost Cape of Kunashiro Island is about 35 kilometers, and the narrowest part of the Central Strait is only 16 kilometers. The water depth of the south mouth of the strait is 20-30 meters, the middle part is 5-10 meters, and the middle part of the north mouth is more than 2000 meters deep. Only small boats can pass through the central part.
Rausu Port is the port where the Soviets are now landing. Our own attack aircraft went here to attack. At the same time, Rausu Port and the Soviet ground air defense firepower may be prepared. At the same time, the opposite Kunashir Island, there may also be Soviet ground-to-air missiles.
The Soviets are the thinking of the Continental Army. In their eyes, the Army is omnipotent. Now that the Army has landed, maybe they feel that the air force and the air defense air force are useless.
Anyway, the Nemuro Strait was already very narrow, so they simply took over the air defense mission of the Nemuro Strait. In this way, they would not have to identify enemy or friend. As long as they enter their air defense circle, they will open fire directly!
In this case, it is dangerous to fly to the sky rashly, but they have no choice. This is war. Even if they know that there is danger ahead, they must go.
Before the opponent's radar is turned on, one's own electronic warplanes cannot be detected either.
Nathan was ready. He shouted to his subordinates on the radio: "Attention, after entering the Nemuro Strait, be careful of the air defense fire on the ground!"
Nathan foresaw the danger today.
Nathan's hunch is correct.
Kunashir Island, in Russian, is called Kunasher Island, which is a long island.
This island is located in the northeast of Hokkaido, in the Pacific Northwest. The Nemuro Strait in the southwest is connected to Hokkaido, and the Hokkaido Strait in the northeast is adjacent to the island. Northeast-southwest, 123 kilometers long, 5 to 26 kilometers wide, with an area of 1498.56 square kilometers, slightly larger than Okinawa.
The island’s topography is steep and there are 4 active volcanoes. Grand Yeyah is the highest peak on the island at an altitude of 1822 meters. It has many virgin forests. There is an excellent port at the end of Kurilsk Port.
When the Soviet landing fleet was forced to abandon Kushiro, it was temporarily docked in Kurilsk. The departure last night also started from Kurilsk.
And now, in the north of Kurilsk, on the top of a small hill, a radar is showing its posture.
The field radar can actually reach the top of this mountain? Indeed, because it uses a tracked chassis, last night, it rushed to the top of the mountain, unfolded on the top of the mountain, silently waiting for the opportunity.
Beside it, there are vehicles with the same tracked chassis. These vehicles have been deployed and arranged vertically upwards in the open space behind the tracked chassis.
These missiles are packed in four large drums, all of which are facing the sky, opening their mouths, revealing their fangs.
No one knows what kind of missile it is, and no anti-radiation missile can harm it, because its frequency is unknown.
This is the latest Soviet missile system, the S-300 system. (End of this chapter)
