In dealing with the incoming "Crazy Ivan", friendly fighter jets in the surrounding sky were unable to coordinate for the time being. The "Skeleton" squadron leader immediately called the belated e-2c again, asking the commander to mobilize more "Hornet" fighter jets to participate in the group fight.

Reinforcements cannot be counted on for the time being. As a last resort, several "super cats" mounted on air defense intercepts can only deal with the terrifying Red Star Killer in the sky. Seeing these chubby gray giant birds swept back with their wings, they dragged out winding trails in the sky, and Long Yun, who was driving the M2 Sukhoi fighter jet, did not just kill them. His idea was to hold back these powerless "tomcats" as much as possible before the "Super Hornet" of the US Navy arrived.

Just behind the young man, at this moment, the twenty-three tu-22m3s of the 317th Bomber Aviation Regiment of the Guards were lowering their height and moving forward quickly with ultra-low-altitude penetration methods that were not easy to be discovered by radar. This is just one of the reasons why he rushed into the US Navy air defense circle and was entangled. As for the other side, it depends on the business quality of the US military commander.

With Long Yun's action, there were constant wars in the sky to the west. A single aircraft dragged many F-14s into the sky, and further away, there were a group of f/a-18c/d that were anxious to rush forward. The scene was so chaotic.

During the chaos, the battlefield situation became more and more complicated. The Red Navy's second wave of anti-ship missiles was not launched, but the US commander on the "Theodore Roosevelt" was already full of sweat.

Faced with at least two regiments, that is, forty Russian long-range bombers with a larger number of interceptors, the number of available interceptors is still acceptable, but combat coordination has become a very difficult problem. Just like now, the Russians' "counterfire" pierced from the northwest direction. They were divided into several small teams to penetrate the air defense circle of the U.S. Navy fleet from different directions, which is really a test for the interception ability of the F-14 fleet.

Without the "Hawkeye" to see the overall situation, the "Tomcat" patrolling the sky cannot occupy a place in advance. Now both sides are in a supersonic state, it depends on who grabs the position first!

Seizing the position means success or failure of the battle for tu-22m3, and for f-14a+/d, it means life and death of the fleet. The "Tomcats" with missiles and the largest sweep of variable wings are like sharp arrows, accelerating and running wildly at a height of thousands of meters, while continuing to climb up while approaching the fierce Russian bomber. After approaching the invading Russian bomber, they fired a wave of unsuspecting aspiration-54c volleys, of course in TWS mode.

Faced with Russian bombers, the "Tomcats" were extravagantly driving afterburners and rushing at supersonic speeds, without even considering the residual fuel. This was obviously a kind of fear of the "counter-fire" of supersonic speeds.

There has been a long misunderstanding about supersonic bombers. However, it is obvious that Americans don’t think so.

In many people's impression, with the continuous development of war technology, supersonic bombers such as tu-u-160 and even b-1a have become dinosaur-like, with combat ideas that cannot adapt to battlefield situations. The reason is that the ability of modern air defense systems to fight supersonic targets has improved rapidly, and the combat mode of low-altitude and high-speed penetration is no longer applicable, but has become an outdated ability.

Not to mention the situation on land, this statement is a fallacy in the ocean where the US-Soviet confrontation is a fallacy.

From the perspective of the Red Empire, facing the American aircraft carrier battle group, as long as the combat radius of the onshore-based aviation force is within the combat radius, the combination of long-range bombers and heavy anti-ship missiles is the most effective means of strike.

Unlike the situation where murderous intent is everywhere on land, Soviet bombers flying over the ocean only need to face the interception of US Navy carrier-based aircraft during the penetration process. No matter what large bomber, the Yankees' long-range alert system discovers that the distance is roughly certain. The key is how fast your bomber can fly? When the Americans' emergency ejection F-14 arrives on the intercept line, can they have the opportunity to launch anti-ship missiles?

In this case, the speed difference between subsonic tu-16, tu-95 and supersonic tu-u-160 is often enough to influence the outcome of a contest.

According to the general deployment of the Americans, the e-2c cruised at sea and air can find incoming enemy aircraft at a distance of up to 700 kilometers. Next, the missile platform of the Red Empire will have a speed competition with the American carrier-based aircraft. The encounter points of the Mach 2 tu-22m3 and the F-14 are about 300 kilometers away from the US fleet, which can meet the launch conditions of the KSR-5 and KH-15 missiles. However, the number of the Mach 0-point eight tu-16 will reach 500 kilometers away. The range of the KH-15 is not enough and it cannot be fired at all. Although the KSR-5 with a longer range can be launched, it can only be set to "high ballistics throughout the range", and the possibility of being intercepted or losing the target will surge.

So it is very simple. Facing the US Navy, which "don't see the 'counter-fire' and don't throw a 'cat'", supersonic penetration can win the opportunity to fire. If you subsonic speed, you can only wash and sleep. The reason is not difficult to understand at all.

The theoretical analysis of the battle between bombers and interceptors is roughly the case, and the Americans quickly fell into a dilemma that was difficult to deal with each other.

"Counter-fire" attacked, "Tomcat" stepped forward, and the soldiers in the front fought to the death to grab the position. A big fight between anti-ship missiles and "Immortal Birds" was right in front of us, and the tense William Pratt and others were in a state of mood. Colonel Walsh and the staff members who were nervously calculating had just reported that in the face of the Russians' second wave of missile attacks, the number of u.s.navy's air stagnant fighter jets was insufficient and it was impossible to intercept a sufficient number of air-to-ship missiles, so the pressure on the inner fleet to air defense was relatively high, and the absolute safety of the three heavy aircraft carriers could not be guaranteed.

Not only that, the premise of this deduction is that the Russian bomber is equipped with the As-6 "king fish".

If Ivans do it a little more crazier, with six on each "counter-fire" and even more as-16 "back-attacks", the subsequent confrontation situation will be more complicated.
