The answer to this question is of course obvious:

If you really follow the team of people to shoot from afar, then you will not be the original Long Yun.

The next morning, after receiving the air situation report, Long Yun took off from the base in the suburbs of Stavropol as yesterday, as he did, and conducted a routine combat readiness cruise.

With the previous thoughts, this time the weapon mounting scheme of Longyun and Korolev dual-machines is not full; unlike other fighter aircraft with full r-27r/r-27t and r-73 standards, Red No. 17 and Wingman only carry four r-27r and two r-73.

With such a configuration, Long Yun obviously does not intend to launch an over-visual range strike like other fighters. If possible, in today's air battle, he will act in concert with Korolev to implement close combat.

This is not only necessary to practice the way he is most familiar with in-fighting, but also completely necessary to make the wingman familiar with his tactics as soon as possible.

Shortly after the launch, the ground guide sent a command to receive the battle, requiring the 237th Regiment fighter aircraft formation to immediately rush to the southeast airspace and find a large number of invasion signs of enemy aircraft over the southern border of Georgia; at the same time, they were informed that the MiG fleet of the frontline aviation troops had been dispatched, and it was likely that they had contacted the enemy aircraft beyond the visual range at this time.

Under the guidance of GCI, Long Yun and his wingman started to increase their strength, followed the formation to a height of nearly 10,000 meters and rushed to the south.

Long Yun, who was sprinting at Mach 1.4, was paying attention to maintaining the formation of the two aircraft and keeping up with the progress of the fighter formation, and also checking the combat plan he had formulated; although he had absolute confidence in his combat effectiveness, it was the first time he drove the su-27sduli to fight.

After two or three days of companion flight training, Long Yun also knew that although his wingman pilot Korolev admired him quite a bit, he did not fully understand the combat strategies he temporarily explained to him before the war.

Moreover, after two days of flight observation, Long Yun also saw that the deputy's combat effectiveness could only be said to be OK; according to his understanding, Korolev's level is of course above average at the 237th Regiment, but compared with his ace who has only touched the Su-27s real machine in just a few days, it is still a big difference.

In this way, when entering visual fighting, Long Yun often has to act alone and cannot completely give up covering the wingman. This combat condition is not very ideal for him.

However, in the tense air combat, these ideas were just a turn in Long Yun's mind; after a few minutes of accelerated flight, about 100 kilometers ahead of them, the 105 frontline fighter's mig-23ml had already had contact with the NATO aircraft fleet beyond the visual range. The two sides were approaching each other with standard head-on interception tactics, and then a large-scale missile battle broke out.

This type of combat method is a great challenge for the combatants of the 105th Regiment.

Compared with NATO fighter jets with more advanced electronic equipment, due to their disadvantage in radar performance, eight MiG aircraft of the 105th Regiment adopted team tactics: they divided into two four-machine echelons to climb separately, entered the predetermined interception area at a crossing angle of nearly 60 degrees, and then used the tactic of supersonic raid to strike the invading fleet.

On the NATO side, the f-15cs that quickly unfolded along the invasion line were their mortal enemy for many days, the 25th Fighter Squadron of the US Eighth Air Wing.

Compared to the mysterious g-23ml, the powerful f-15c is obviously performing air-optimistic combat at this time. They swaggered across the southern Soviet border and advanced towards the north in a row, looking arrogant and arrogant as if they "joking if they dare".

With such a combat situation, the dispersed f-15c cannot raid the MiG aircraft at the supersonic speed for a while; but this tactic cannot last long, and it will be dangerous for a long time.

All these situations are seen by the ground air defense surveillance system in the Caucasus region; but to use this to command the 237th Regiment to approach the enemy and then enter a melee of large aircraft groups. Due to the impact of the surveillance network, there is a lack of a three-coordinate radar for precise positioning near the war zone. Aviation guidance is powerless at this time and can only play a minimum role in leading the way.

Of course, the pilots of the 237th Regiment at this time knew at least the models and approximate numbers of NATO fighter jets that were approaching; as for other information, they could only judge by themselves by looking at the ups and downs of the echoes gradually appearing on the display screen through the radar.

As he approached the combat airspace, Long Yun noticed the complex situation on the radar, and he was also preparing to make his own plans.

Knowing that the interception battle ahead was the friendly G-23. If he was asked to command, the Su-27 formation should catch up with the rhythm of the MiG aircraft as soon as possible. After the attack battle of MiG-23 using the advantage of altitude and speed began, it was time to enter the middle and low altitude and fight the enemy aircraft that was trapped in chaos to kill the caught opponent.

However, thinking that his current car is not a light and flexible fan of G-29. Combined with the combat characteristics of Su-27, Long Yun considered his tactical arrangements again.

If he just took Korolev to rush forward, putting aside the attacks of other fighter jets in the regiment, there would be a risk of being hit by mistake, he and his wingman now have four R-27s and two R-73s, plus a relatively abundant in-plane fuel, these heavy loads are quite unfavorable to combat.

Especially Long Yun did his homework before and learned that the Eighth Air Force in the United States here is quite active. He doesn't want to clumsyly fight the powerful F-15c in close combat; although he is not afraid of any opponent, once he is too arrogant, he might have capsized in the yin ditch.

——So, throw away four medium-range missiles, drive up to the enemy and then go into battle lightly?

Don't even think about this.

Since he traveled to this parallel world and began to fight the sky as Victor Rezenov, Long Yun's principle is to never squander every missile; and in most cases, he did.

So now it is of course a complete worst-case scenario to throw away the missiles.

Commanding Korolev to follow his maneuvering flight, Long Yun reported on the radio, then flew the fighter plane away from the main formation of the 273rd Regiment; starting to slide continuously and slightly in the direction he estimated. After Long Yun's two aircraft completed a large radius turn, they flew towards the south sky along the edge of the intercepting area.

Seeing the formation gradually fading away, Long Yun knew that he and the wingman Duli were acting and showing off his skills was finally here.

Korolev, a wingman pilot who followed Long Yun to do maneuver, tried hard to keep up with the graceful and smooth movements of the long aircraft in front, while recalling the instructions Long Yun made to himself before the battle. The long aircraft's movements were quite standard and skillful, and he was not like a novice in the flying su-27 at all, which of course gave him great confidence.

But Korolev is still a little doubtful. The ace who was still flying G-29 a few days ago is now in a hurry to act alone. Can he get an ideal start in the interception battle if he leaves and works alone?

Oh! He is not alone now, isn’t he still following him?

I hope that when I encounter the enemy and fight, I will not cause trouble to the ace. Korolev thought a little ashamed.

Almost gliding out of thin air, Long Yun paid attention to the direction of his machine head and observed the consumption of oil. Seeing that the cāo control characteristics of su-27s were quite close to the feel he had mastered before, Long Yun's confidence was strongly supported.

Thanks to the support of ground guidance information, what Long Yun tried to deceive at this time was the US Air Force pre-finding machine that was probably peeping not far behind the front line; these clairvoyances who were patrolling far behind the front line, but were always staring at the sky, and the threat to Soviet Air Force activities was not even less than murderous fightermen.

As it turns out, Long Yun's tactics are quite successful.

When flying over a winding route and finally completing the steering to prepare for the attack, the echo signal of the Longyun dual-machine became clear and appeared on the monitoring console of the e-3a pre-finishing machine; however, at this time, the pre-finishing machine had no sufficient processing time and could not effectively evade and guide the distant aircraft group.

As several target signals appeared from the radar display screen, Long Yun secretly thanked his opponent's carelessness, which made him successfully occupy the advantageous position of the tail rear attack while the radar was silent.

It is only less than 13,000 meters away from the enemy plane, and it has met the tail chase launch conditions of r-27.

Without further hesitation, he immediately ordered Korolev to launch an operation, each of whom locked an enemy plane and fired a volley!

As the four r-27r ignited from the hanger, bright flames exploded and drove the gray-white smoke straight towards the target; but that was not over. Under Long Yun's command again, after about five seconds, four r-27r flew out from under the wings of the two machines, and four narrow tail smokes were drawn out in the sky again.

The two fighter jets suddenly shot out eight r-27r. Although the four in front were no longer able to hit the target, the attack momentum was still quite amazing.

All missiles were launched during the first attack, which was exactly Long Yun's predetermined strategy; although the radar echo was not completely certain, Long Yun was 90% sure of the judgment that the target he and his wingman should be two F-15s.

This kind of opponent, who is quite difficult in the sky in Europe, will be killed in one go!

While thinking about this, Long Yun and his wingman seized the more than ten seconds before the missile entered the terminal guidance to carry out side-turning maneuver; of course, at this time the enemy planes in the sky were completely in chaos, and no one could lock them in. This was just a strategy to seize the attack position.

He shouted a few times on the radio, asking Korolev to follow his pace. Long Yun decisively increased his strength and rushed towards the sky that was fighting in front of him with a swagger.
