Among the values of the US military, "life values" are extremely important.
If you have seen the movie The Fall of the Black Hawk and Saving Private Ryan, you can understand the values. There is a very complicated moral and ethical issue. In order to save a person, a team of people must face danger and death. Shouldn't it be rescued? The Americans chose to rescue. They even paid more lives for this, and they have to do it. I don't know if Huadongzhixiong was fooled by the movie.
In a series of wars, the US military requires soldiers to perform their duties and resist until they lose their ability to resist, even if they are surrounded by heavy encirclement, as long as they have a glimmer of hope, they will break through. They attach great importance to the cultivation of a sense of honor, and the sense of team honor is also the fine tradition that the US military has always maintained.
Now, Nathan's body is also shining with this kind of light. As long as there is a chance, he will never give up his comrades-in-arms, even if he is in danger.
At this time, on the bridge of the Kitty Hawk, Petropaoli's thoughts were confused.
Nathan relied on a kind of intuition. Instead of letting all the planes rush to death, he chose to test it first. The result of the test was quite terrible. The Soviets had actually prepared long-range air defense missiles to guard Rausu Port. There will be dangerous within a hundred kilometers.
The navy cannot launch an attack on the Soviet transport fleet until the air defense position is resolved. Now, they must pull out this nail as soon as possible and kill the surface-to-air missile position.
However, this must not be reckless.
Petropaoli certainly remembered the terrible confrontation of the Ramadan War.
On Yom Kippur in '73, Israeli soldiers were caught off guard when they were fasting hungry. Israel quickly dispatched its ace air force to attack Egypt and Syria from both the east and the west.
On the eastern front, four Israeli f4 "Phantom" fighter jets flew over Damascus, the capital of Syria. As a result, a white smoke burst up and went straight to the formation of "ghosts". Israel responded well, and the 4-plane formation quickly separated while throwing away the bait aluminum foil. But the bait didn't work! The missile screamed and bit a "ghost", no matter how it got rid of it, it wouldn't help. The other three "ghosts" watched their companions fall to the ground in the flames and black smoke. On the western front, an even more terrifying type of mysterious missile from Egypt caused great panic among the pilots. Their plane was easily "slapped" by the Egyptians like a fly, more than 70 in a row!
The Eagle of David was almost completely maimed in this battle!
The battle at that time was the famous Sam 6 missile. This missile became famous in World War I, and the Soviets followed suit for a long time.
Since the US Navy is always active at sea, the risk of encountering the Soviet air defense missiles is relatively small, but now it has encountered it by accident.
Just the Sam 6 missile is a headache, not to mention this newer missile, even Nathan is not sure to deal with it, let alone anything else.
After all, what made Sam 6 completely scrapped was the Bekaa Valley air battle in 1982. In this battle, Sam 6 was beaten up and down, and the myth was shattered. Now, the United States The Navy is still more concerned about this advanced ground-to-air weapon.
Stop the offense temporarily
In the confusion of his thoughts, Petropaoli received news that Nathan was trying his best to rescue another plane. When he heard from the radio that Nathan actually used the windshield to fly against the ship's hook against the weeds, he suddenly I couldn't help but clap his hands: "Nathan, great!"
At this moment, many pilots saw that the Nathan fighter plane in the air, against the Kosichesky fighter plane in front, flew by as if performing acrobatics in the air.
Below, the land is about to go away, and you can reach the sea.
At this moment, suddenly, Nathan found a visible crack in the windshield in front of him!
The crack was expanding rapidly, and at this moment, Nathan was quick with his eyes and hands, and immediately let go of the accelerator and out of contact.
Although there is only one crack, the spread of the crack is quite fast. Just after one-tenth of a second slower, the glass will definitely spread out at the position of the hook, and then the glass will shatter abruptly, and Nathan will be landed on the ship. The hook was stabbed to death.
How to do? After Nathan left, the Tomcat fighter in front continued to drop in height.
"Squadron Captain, thank you, no need to come again." Kosiczsky shouted over the radio.
"No, you can't skydive without my order." Nathan said, ready to lean on again.
It’s better to wait for the rescue helicopter to fly over before they get close to the sea. It should be the best time for them to parachute again.
He has tried various methods. The position of the deceleration parachute on the top of the radome, no, the windshield is against the hook, and it can no longer be used, but he can still use it in other positions, for example, in the windshield and radar. At the junction of the hood, there is a small flat metal part, which is directly connected to the girder of the aircraft and can withstand greater strength.
The Tomcat fighter leaned up slowly. Nathan did this. It was definitely more technical than a tightrope in the air. The heavy Tomcat fighter was slowly leaning up. Then, the flat metal part leaned on the hook of the ship. .
With these few experiences, Nathan succeeded easily.
Carefully against the ship hook again, the two Tomcat fighters that merged in the air flew toward the southern sky, the island gradually receded, and it had come to the sea.
This is truly an unforgettable experience!
As a weapon operator, Gus in the back compartment was also lamented. When Nathan decided to save the Kosichesky crew, he did not object. In the battle, the friendship between his comrades was very deep.
In the infantry, a comrade-in-arms is a person who can safely hand over his back, and in a pilot, a comrade-in-arms is also a person who will rescue you regardless of the risk of being shot down by other aircraft.
And this time Nathan's experience will go down in history!
Just as he sighed, he noticed that the pointer of one of the meters in front of him was displayed abnormally.
"The left engine is overheated, damn it, we may have hurt the left engine just now when we were avoiding it!" Gus said: "Now, the engine is at risk of catching fire at any time. We must shut down the left engine!"
Nathan is carefully operating the fighter plane, which is more terrifying than walking a tightrope in the air. If you don't pay attention, a collision will occur.
After hearing Gus's reminder, he looked down at the instrument panel. Above, the fire alarm light of the left engine was already on! (End of this chapter)
