"Counterfire" appears again, the Americans fight with all their might, and a fierce offensive and defensive battle is right in front of them.

In the rising northwest Pacific Ocean, there are heavy aircraft carriers running busy on the turbulent blue sea. The fighter engines roar, and F-14 fighters with air-to-air missiles and sub-fuel tanks have two wings flat, the rudder surface swings, and line up behind the flame blocking plate in the takeoff area. The steam catapult suddenly started, and the oil-filled "Tomcat" sank slightly after flying off the deck, and then dragged two tail flames into the blue sky.

After receiving an alarm from Russian bombers, a squadron's F-14 Tomcat fighter jet was released within a few minutes. The cv-67 "John Kennedy" was very frequent, and the same was true for the cvn-73 "Theodore Roosevelt" located in the center of the fleet on the south side.

Compared with the battle group composed of one aircraft carrier, the battle group of three heavy aircraft carriers has great advantages in the dispatch of carrier-based aircraft.

Just like now, in addition to specializing in attacking and the just-finished CV-71 "George Washington" in which the carrier recovery work has just finished, the ability of the two aircraft carriers to take off the F-14 has also doubled, which means that if the Russians fight to the death and keep pushing forward, the "Tomcats" can also calmly occupy the position, and the height meets the defensive positions required by the "Immortal Bird" to intercept the shooting requirements, without leaving any opportunity for the opponent to take advantage of.

Facing the strong enemy, the "Tomcats" reacted very quickly, but at the same moment, the vf-122 squadron, which intercepted the "Scythe" in the sky ahead, fell into a tough battle.

The mission is not difficult for Long Yun to fly a plane to attack and destroy the Americans' air defense system.

Although at first glance, facing a US aircraft carrier battle group with a complete system and abundant fighter jets, a combat opportunity that relies solely on its own radar is at an absolute disadvantage. The US Navy with e-2c can have the convenience of "one-way transparency" battlefield, and can easily mobilize some fighter jets to defeat the attackers.

But now, not to mention who the people infiltrated the planes, when reconnaissance planes were everywhere and tu-22m3 was flying all over the sky, the Americans' defense focus was obviously not "flankers", and they were intended to open the way for the Red Navy bomber fleet. There were few enemies who were instructing the target. As a coverer, they could still get a little light from the coverer. This sounds a bit funny, but it was already within Long Yun's pre-war plan.

Flying along a straight route, the Americans deployed the "Hawkeye" early warning aircraft on the west side of the fleet was forced to retreat on the way. The rwr prompt sound from Long Yun finally rang out in his ears.

In a severe interference environment, the n011 radar can only detect a few head-on targets, but there is no distance information at all. Long Yun, who has experienced many battles, guessed that from the flight altitude, speed and formation situation of the target, he inferred that the Americans sent to fight, or that the plane that was sent to death, should not be a "Tongcat" or a group of "super hornets".

This speculation is basically in line with the current situation of the battle. According to the intelligence sent by "Ruslan", several bomber regiments of the Red Navy are approaching the predetermined sea area. The Americans are probably in a state of great difficulty and do not have much intention to fight an air battle with themselves in the traditional sense.

With such speculation, further penetrated into the American air defense hinterland. Long Yun drove the plane flexibly and used a set of properly performed continuous side turn to shake off the radar tracking of American carrier-based aircraft.

After entering the side turn, rwr quickly returned to calm, but the effect of diffuse electronic interference was still there, Long Yun knew that these interceptors were still far away - probably, it was one hundred kilometers after all, otherwise with the ability of an/apg-73, they would not be so easily thrown away by several side turn movements.

Fighting on the vast ocean is different from the situation on land. The nds (non-doppler_scan, non-Doppler scanning) mode, which is troubled by ground clutter and has no ability to see the vision, can also play some role.

So theoretically, if the pd mode is unlocked due to the radial maneuver of the target, the "bumblebee" can switch to other modes to intercept it again, but now the distance between the two sides is still far, and the an/apg-73 in the nds mode can be seen by no more than 100 kilometers. So, just as the "counter-fire" roars in the sky and the "Tomcat" is attacking with all its might, several f/a-18e/fs sent to intercept the "Scythe" still need to occupy the precious "Hawkeye" command channel, adjust the deployment according to the target information provided by the early warning aircraft, and the troops divide into two routes to pounce on the "God of Death" in the sky ahead.

From being distracted from tracking to being re-intercepted by the vf-122 squadron fighter jets that were hovering and transferred, the tactics of the "Tomcat" and "Bumblebee" were very different, and of course, this did not escape Long Yun's eyes.

Although the closer it is to the US warship group, the more serious the electronic interference is. The young man still has a comprehensive radar. The information of IRS and RWR comprehensively speculates the opponent's intentions. He climbed up all the way through the brief lock-out process. When the Americans surrounded him and were about to launch missiles to intercept, the White 20 had already achieved an altitude difference of at least 4,000 meters, and for a moment, the hollow u.s.navy fighter jets were helpless.

Facing the cunning Russians, flying a huge fuselage and the engine is not suitable for the "Super Hornet" in the high-speed range. The "flanker" at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters gave American pilots a headache. The young men cursed and accelerated to create launch conditions for the Aim-120b missile.

In the dawn sky, there was a vast golden dust everywhere. The f/a-18 fighter jets that were flying were as fast as sharp crosses. The wide and thick edges on both sides of the front fuselage destroyed the smooth lines. In the radome of the head, the flat-slit array antenna was continuously precipitating, and the fire control system was solving the problem. The gray-white "slammer" missiles were ready to be launched. However, the targets they needed to hit were also climbing higher, and there was no sign of being close to the height difference between the attack and defense.

aim-120b, an active radar-guided missile received by the US Navy soon, whose range is much higher than that of the Aim-7 series missiles. However, compared with the "Sparrow" M-type, the upper limit of the negative height of the engagement is not much higher.

The reason is actually not difficult to understand at all. First of all, for aim-7f/m, because there is no data link, it is not the thruster that restricts the missile's range, but the echo interception distance of the active radar seeker on the upper half of the missile. For ordinary air targets, this number rarely exceeds forty kilometers. Even if the "Sparrow" thruster is powerful, it cannot extend its range.

Secondly, the range improvement of arhm compared to the sarhm has also contributed quite a bit in ballistic optimization. A sarhm does not change anything else. Just replace the semi-active radar seeker with an active radar seeker, and the range can also be improved to a certain extent, because during the battle process, the arhm does not need to follow and randomly move frequently to the changes in the target orientation, so that you can take fewer detours and save your own valuable kinetic energy.

As for the important factor in missile range - thrusters, from "sparrow" to "slime", the latter's thrusters are obviously more advanced, but they are a little smaller than the former.

Because of this, the aim-120b's negative height difference interception ability has been improved for a limited amount, and nothing is surprising.

Long Yun was a little afraid of the issue of "slammer" firing height problem before that, he encountered such missiles frequently over the Caucasus. After all, the ones carrying this kind of missiles are basically the F-15 "Eagle", and the high-altitude and high-speed capabilities of this type of fighter are quite impressive. Even if the initial placeholding is not good, it can quickly accelerate and climb up and then launch the missile.

But now, facing several "bumblebee" surrounded by missiles, he has no similar concerns.

When we reach the high-altitude high-speed range, f/a-18e/f is almost a discus with wings. Although we are fighting the US Navy's air defense system alone, young people who have not found F-14 traces are still confident.

He was alone in a siege. At this time, the most worrying thing about ordinary pilots was that they were not optimistic about the six points. If the enemy plane was guided by the early warning plane and kept the radar silently fired infrared bombs, they were likely to be attacked without any awareness. However, for Long Yun, with the awareness of insight into everything, he could only concentrate on sweeping around and discover the enemy plane trying to approach. "Sneak Attack" was not in front of him, and the subsequent battle would be less suspense.

As they were getting closer and closer to the center of the aircraft carrier battle group, the red star birds in the sky were still strolling in the garden. A group of anxious but helpless "Hornets" were spinning around. None of the aim-120bs that were barely launched called the Russians. At this time, another wave of fighter jets entered the sight of "Hawkeye" in the sky on the west side of the fleet.

A batch of "counter-fire" was discovered, and the F-14 fighter jets on the two aircraft carriers took off urgently. Now the release work has been completed. It is found that another batch of bombers came from the fleet's 20 direction. The "Hawkeye" who was stuck in the air quickly issued a warning message.

An alarm sounded, and a cluster of marks were added to the screen of the integrated air defense command system, and the commanders' faces also changed.
