Having just encountered an unexpected disruptor, the current state of the US aircraft carrier battle group is really chaotic. In addition to releasing a large number of fighter jets in response to the "counter-fire" and now the "Tomcat" fleet is urgently needed to rotate the "Sky" fleet, the fleet command system has not yet completely escaped from the shock of "Scythe".

At this time, Lieutenant General William Pratt and a number of staff were thinking in the combat command room. Victor Rezenov, this terrifying butcher who came out of nowhere, what other tricks would he use next?

The single-air raiding fleet's outer air defense circle is almost in line with the US military intelligence agencies' analysis and positioning of the "Caucasus Death". This cruel and bold Russian ace pilot is best at rushing in at critical moments of battle, completely disrupting the battlefield situation that the United States has worked hard to create. This routine is not uncommon for various countries to use ace pilots, but the "sickles" are used repeatedly and are unharmed, which is a headache.

Just like today, judging from the "Free Lancer" in front of him that lost four "Tomcats", the terrifying off-white fighter jet was undoubtedly driven by "Death". This guy actually ran to the depths of the ocean to participate in the battle. Could it be that he took off from the Russian aircraft carrier?

The Americans are of course very familiar with the Tbilisi class aircraft carrier. This Russian "full-deck heavy-duty aircraft cruiser" without steam catapults can release the "sea fenders". Then, by analogy, it is not surprising that the "fenders" fighter jets in air combat take off from above.

But - this is impossible, how is this possible!

While frowning, Lieutenant General Pratt and others were very clear. The Russian fleet entered the far sea and had been confronting the United States fleet for many days. But the information from the headquarters came from the headquarters. The "White Death" was still on the Japanese Sea the day before, and fell into Japanese airspace to crash several Jasdf fighter jets - it was obvious that no one except "Crazy Ivan" could complete the battle of this level, but now, what is the "flanker" encountered by the VF-21?

"Death" guy, is he really a devil? He can't do any black magic like clones?

The more I thought about it, the more I became suspicious. I was very concerned about Victor Rezenov's traces, the entire aircraft carrier battle group, and even the Uspa commanders far away in Hawaii. However, just as everyone was urging intelligence officers to retrieve information, an alarm sounded in the combat command room of the "Theodore Roosevelt". The "Hawkeye" emergency report deployed on the west side of the fleet was zero. The target was found 330 nautical miles away from the center of the fleet. The iff had no response, and the echo characteristics were suspected to be "flankers"!

During the short period of "Death" returning, the Americans made frequent tactical moves, but to be prepared to face the next wave of attacks, it seems that they are almost on fire.

In a battle just now, although they were mainly Russian bombers, the "Free Lancer" squadron from the CV-67 still suffered heavy losses, and the six F-14a+ in the second echelon all exhausted all ammunition. The entire squadron lost its combat effectiveness.

At the same time, the same is true for the VFA-122 in the inner air defense circle. The "Super Hornet" fighter mounted on the Aim-120b is still full of oil storage, but the missiles are fired. With a slightly insufficient reserve force, several fighter jets of this squadron will remain on the intercept line for a period of time until the deck dispatch work on the cv-67 and cvn-73 is completed and the remaining squadrons' fighter jets are added.

Fighting in high-threat seas is different from the nerd's direct deduction. It's basically too late to wait until "Hawkeye" sends out a warning message before releasing the fighter jets. U.s.navy will now implement a typical offensive and air defense strategy.

In the three aircraft carrier battle group, the "George Washington" was carrying out the recovery of the first wave of attack aircraft. The VF-103 "Skeleton" squadron carrying the ship lost two F-14D during the attack, and the other "Tomcats" also needed to rest temporarily. According to General William Pratt's instructions, the three VFAs that returned one after another, and the "Super Hornets" with empty under the wings landed on the deck one after another. Next, when the next wave of attack is launched, the commander will have to make a decision.

At this time, the "God of Death" in the sky appeared, and the highly vigilant Americans naturally interpreted it as a sign of an air strike that was imminent.

Since the decisive battle broke out, for the safety of early warning aircraft, the e-2c of the US aircraft carrier combat group was assigned to patrol at a distance of about 300 kilometers. This way, the early warning distance for Russian bombers was close to 700 kilometers, barely meeting the early warning requirements for F-14 fighter interception.

After discovering the "sickle", the anxious and cautious Americans weighed for a moment, and Colonel Walsh still ordered a group of F-14D fighters on the west side of the fleet to intercept it through the "derrick".

Of course, if that is really a "God of Death", just two F-14 fighter jets are definitely not enough.

The target distance is still far, and "Hawkeye" cannot tell the specific model of the Russians, but judging from the information on the radar display, it is indeed a single fighter jet, and no trace of other Russian fighter jets were seen around. After suffering the loss of the Russian ace just now, Lieutenant General Pratt and his staff are indeed very troubled now. They know that they must do something now, but they really have to order, but they are a little hesitant.

Victor Rezenov, since this guy is the "fighter guard" in the distance, a "fighter butcher" who is rumored to be unable to be defeated, what can the US Navy do to deal with such a person?

If you directly dispatch fighter jets to intercept them, whether they can stop them or not, you may lose more F-14 fighter jets.

According to the report of the VF-21 pilot who had previously contacted the "Scythe", during the fighting, the Russian plane used some magic tricks, and its flight performance seemed to be better than the "Tomcat". It was very different from the "Flanker" performance in daily training. In addition, Victor's terrifying strength, although U.s.navy has a large number of carrier-based aircraft on three aircraft carriers, the enemy is now in front of it, and it is definitely not the time to fight with this madman.

Interception may suffer losses, but it may not be able to stop it. So, can you just ignore it?

This response plan was proposed from Stanley Cooper, and the commanders present were immediately rejected for a moment of discussion.

Faced with the elusive Russian ace, we must not sit idly by now. This is not only a matter of face and morale between the upper and lower fleets, but those present are considering more specific situations. In other words, many people are worried that this "flanker" may indicate targets for the "counterfire" bomber that follows up.

Although the tactical intention of "Scythe" is not clear yet, since the Russians sent such a killer god, it seems that it is too valuable to simply let this guy participate in a sea and air group fight. Many people, including Lieutenant General Prat, are suspected that this powerful "flanker" is actually doing the job of reconnaissance aircraft. Therefore, once the "Scythe" breaks into the inner airspace of the fleet and determines the sea area where the aircraft carrier battle group is located, the next roar is probably a large number of "king fish", even "sandbox" and "shipwrecks". For a super ace, this combat intention is more worthwhile.

However, even if the Russians plan to do this, facing the "White God of Death" who is trying to break through, it is not right to stop it, nor is it not right to stop it. Isn't this a dilemma?

Watching enemy planes approaching, trying to counter, but being helpless, this is the first time for the generals of the US Navy. They also began to experience the helplessness of their Air Force colleagues when facing "Death" - oh, or more than that, sometimes this feeling is despair.

However, in this negative atmosphere, Colonel Walsh, who is responsible for coordinating the fleet in front, made a proposal, suggesting that the f/a-18e/f fighter of the VFA-122 "Flying Angel" squadron intercept the "sickle".

“Yes, Lieutenant General!

The vfa-122 fleet has a good oil storage situation. I think we should still use the power of Slime. The Flying Angel Squadron, like other VFAs, has carried out a complete air confrontation. If it is only within the range of beyond the visual range, I think—”

“It makes sense, we must hurry up!

Walsh, you send the order immediately;——Also, Stanley, how about our 'Roosevelt'? Can you start flying the fighter jets?"

"The engine room reported that the steam pressure fluctuated normally and the recovery speed had not changed.

Uh—that is, it can be ejected!"

"Okay! Now it's - at 6:33, immediately release the other six Tomcats, then clear the landing area, and notify the deck dispatching department and the hangar that we may launch a wave of air strikes in thirty minutes, dispatching a squadron of the 'Bumblebee' and a squadron of the 'Tomcats'!"

"Okay, General!"

"Okay, the entire fleet maintains its current course, and the number of festivals remains unchanged; in addition,"

While walking, he thought about countermeasures and issued combat commands. William Pratt, who had a little control over the command style, actually did not ignore the overall consideration at the battle level, instead of focusing all his energy on air confrontation.

He still insists on sailing against the wind to save carrier-based aircraft at any time when the direction of his aircraft carrier battle group is moving, but in this way, the fleet is moving northwest, that is, getting closer and closer to the Kamchatka Peninsula, and the possibility of encountering Russian land-based forces raids will also increase.
