The current level of informatization is still not high enough. If in later generations, with an advanced GPS positioning system, the position of the helicopter will have been clearly marked.
At the same time, if there is a thermal imaging camera, the night will be the same as during the day. High technology will change everything. Now, it is not the era when the United States can use technology to crush small and weak countries.
At the same time, if the island country has a large number of gunship helicopters, then Nathan will not be dispatched.
Well, there are not so many ifs. Now, Nathan can only leave overnight.
In the past few days, the war broke out suddenly, and then, as the best naval aviation pilot, Nathan's sleep time was very short, but his energy was still extremely abundant.
Since the Soviets are coming, let them accompany them!
Nathan drove the fighter plane and ejected and took off in a thrilling overload.
Since this was only a search mission, Nathan did not carry the bulky phoenix, two sparrows, and two rattlesnakes. Self-defense was enough.
At the same time, in fact, the Tomcat's pylon can mount bombs, even if the Tomcat fighter does not have any ground attack equipment, it is also possible to throw the bomb directly as a secondary fuel tank.
So, if you insist on carrying it, there is no problem, but Nathan didn't do it, and attacked the ground. That was what the Air Force fleet came to do afterwards. Nathan's task was just to find the other party.
At the same time, Nathan’s wing roots are equipped with two sets of flares. Yes, in World War II, the most important thing in night battles is to use flares to shine the night as bright as the day, and at the same time blind the opponent. You can attack calmly.
This method is simple and effective. For those F-4 fighters that come to carry out attack missions, dropping bombs under the flares is great.
At the same time, I heard that at the Guam base, the B-52 bomber was also rushing over quickly, but the distance was too far, which took several hours.
Flying at night, strictly believing that the instrument is the most important thing. Nathan was driving a fighter plane and looking at the stars in the sky. At this moment, he thought of the feeling of driving a blackbird.
The surroundings are pitch black, because as the altitude increases and the air decreases, the diffuse reflection of sunlight is reduced. The feeling of flying on the edge of the earth is so exciting.
At the same time, Nathan is also thinking about his opponent. In this case, what is the opponent doing? Is all this the opponent's plan
In this era, Nathan can be regarded as an opponent, there is only one person, the MiG-25 pilot of the Soviet Far East Military Region, and the commander of the 513 regiment, Andre.
During this day, their air power was not deployed at all. What are they doing
Flying is boring, and waiting is even more boring.
"Only relying on passive field air defense can not protect the safety of the troops." At this time, on Sakhalin Island, General Yazov, who was in charge of the entire operation, was listening to the complaints of the regiment commanders in front of him.
The speaker was Andre, from the 513th regiment. Although the battle on the first day was not smooth, they were still looking forward to the next battle. All day, they were banned from launching into the air, which made them Full of complaints.
"Our proudest S-300 air defense system lasted only a long time. In the afternoon, it was bombed by the Americans." Andre continued to analyze: "The air defense missile position is static and dead. The plane is alive, General Yazov, you should know that we, although the model is not as good as the other, we have a quantitative advantage, and we have superb technology. As long as we take the initiative to attack, we will never repeat the tragedy of the day. ."
I thought that there was an S-300, so I could hold on for a longer period of time, but in only half a day, how embarrassing was this? It's just a slap in the face.
Yazov will be responsible for commanding the entire offensive campaign, and now, he is just taking a moment to communicate with these fierce aviation soldiers.
"I understand everyone's feelings, but you must understand the Army's approach, air defense missiles and aircraft, and you can only choose one."
Yazov is also the army, so he understands the army's choice. There is only a piece of airspace in total. Now that there are top-secret air defense missiles, he simply asked the aviation to stand aside.
As a result, the golden bell was broken. Fortunately, it got dark afterwards, and just like that, I persisted all day.
But what about tomorrow? Well, it’s already today, it’s already past midnight, do you still have to rely on air defense missiles? Relying on missiles is definitely unreliable!
"Everyone, don't worry." Yazov said, "We have made a huge breakthrough. After dawn, part of our frontline aviation forces can be transferred to the Hokkaido base. Now everyone has the enthusiasm for fighting, I can Understand, after daybreak, the task will be officially issued, and then the task will be completed for me!"
"Yes!" The eyes of those present lit up.
Frontline aviation is a method mastered by the Soviets through cruel experience. Indeed, ground forces cannot be protected by air power, while frontline aviation and fighter jets do not need to have a long range, but they must be on field runways or even soil runways. The ability to take off and land is basically the kind of battle that takes off.
The MiG-29 was developed under this kind of thinking. Therefore, later generations criticized the MiG-29 for short legs, which was completely wronged. They planned to fight at home. They never planned to run far. It can take off and land on the field runway, and even has an auxiliary air inlet above the air inlet, so you are not afraid to suck in runway debris.
Now, at this moment, I have already taken a part of the base in Hokkaido. Tomorrow morning, I will transfer some of the fighter planes and go to war on take-off, abruptly creating a world!
Many people just shine, and Andre knows that he is still out of action, because the MiG-25 originally has the advantage of range, superiors will not use the precious MiG-25 as a front-line fighter.
They will definitely not transition.
The meeting was considered to have ended, and when everyone was out, Andre stayed.
Yazov smiled at Andrei and said, "Comrade Andrei, you are such a genius. Your plan to explode the Shiretoko Peninsula with tactical nuclear weapons and land from there is simply perfect."
No one knows that this plan was proposed by Andrei, and after being reported to Marshal Ustinov, it was passed!
Now, the army is advancing in great strides in Hokkaido. If all goes well, it will be able to fight to the central part tomorrow. Andre, a great contribution.
He raised tactical questions here, and it almost buried him. He should do strategic planning. (End of this chapter)
