Chapter 288 Low-altitude contest
A battle broke out between heavy fighter jets was almost evenly matched, and was staged at a low altitude close to the Black Sea.
Long Yun in the fierce battle, his maneuvering movements were of course perfect; but the opponent he encountered this time was obviously of a considerable level.
The two F-14Ds from the Red Wild Boar Squadron of the "Carl Vinson" and the two pilots flying the fighter jets were obviously quite skillful; they covered each other and the maneuvering tactics were also very reasonable, which fully exerted the performance of the huge and heavy "Super Cat" and was inseparable from Long Yun for a moment.
The missiles in his hand were exhausted, and Long Yun could only try to hover closely, but the Su-27 had a very good instantaneous hovering ability, but at this time he encountered a strong enemy. To be honest, he now felt that the two "tum cats" in front of him were really the same as those on the simulator. At low altitude, it was harder to deal with than the F-15 that relied on abundant power. He thrilled away a quick-9l that was chasing at four o'clock. After launching the jamming bomb, Long Yun immediately pulled the rod and flew out a high-strength spiral maneuver, but was surprised to find that the chubby F-14's power performance was also very good, and he did not seize any opportunity after it was modified.
This situation is a bit wrong - is it because of the "Super Tomcat" that has been replaced with f110, f-14d?
Realizing that his guess was probably correct, Long Yun kept rolling the barrel while not leaving a chance to gambling with the F-14 wingman who caught up with him, he realized in his heart that he had encountered a very troublesome opponent this time.
Originally, if the pilot was not a bit of burden, and the fighter jets with R-73s were hung to face the enemy, he would be sure to fight and win even if he dealt with two F-14Ds. But now, not to mention that there are no missiles, the jamming pods mounted are also very important equipment. If there is a slight mistake during combat, the loss of a Su-27 is small, and the jamming pods would be very bad when entering the Black Sea!
Long Yun, who was trapped in a one-on-two battle and was unable to escape for the time being, wanted to contact his comrades who were fighting in a high altitude to help him rescue him, but at this time his flight altitude was too low and he knew almost nothing about the situation on the battlefield. He did not know what the situation was in the shooting melee above.
At this time, another Aim-9l "Rattlesnake" came to the slant. Long Yun avoided it while counting in his mind. The composite hanger of the F-14 wing cover was two Aim-9s on the other side - that is to say, the two opponent's fighter jets were carrying eight fighting missiles?
It's really troublesome now. He doesn't have so many interference bullets to accompany them to play with fireworks over and over again!
As the afternoon of the Black Sea, the sky shining with sunlight was a mess of metal birds chasing in chaos: the warplanes that looked particularly small in the sky, the thunder and engine smoke burst out were quite eye-catching, and the originally calm sea and air were all disturbed by the messy battle.
With the huge in-air fuel stock, the raid of the 237 Fighter Air Regiment continued, with huge fighter jets full of "Cross Axe" shuttled back and forth, and continuously carried out over-visual fire attacks on enemy aircraft in the distant sky.
The young men who suffered a great loss from the U.S. Navy fighter jet for the first time, and the young men who suffered a great loss from the Aim-54 also seemed to have twisted. They only saw the bright R-27 in the sky and the "Immortal Bird" with high ballistic throws back and forth. Two heavy fighters, which can be called elite Eastern and Western forces, attacked repeatedly, breaking away and fighting again, fighting in a row like a battle!
Not only that, behind these heavy fighter jets that were red-eyed and threw deadly spears at each other, the e/f-18c of the 10th fighter squadron, which urgently took off from the "Carl Vinson", and a large number of Su-15tm from the military airports along the Azov Sea coast were also on the way to assist the boxing!
The scene was already extremely chaotic. At this time, there was no idea where Victor Rezenov, the number one ace of the 237th Regiment, went?
Unlike the fierce battles that broke out in mid-to-high altitude, Long Yun at this time, facing the superb F-14D "Super Cat" dual aircraft, he felt a little ineffective. He flew quickly over the dark blue sea. He intuitively felt that these two Americans - oh no, the maneuvering of these two pairs of American pilots was quite skillful, as if the vast ocean under him was their home field for them to fly; although the F-14D dual aircraft never left visual contact, but continued to compete with him for fighting skills, probably because there was no over-visual missile, Long Yun tried several times but failed to seize the opportunity to defeat his opponent.
He was highly focused and looked back and forth in the cockpit. Long Yun subconsciously thought that this time he should have encountered a veteran with rich combat experience and calmness, or ace pilot of the US Navy.
Fighting close-in with such an opponent, not carrying enough R-73 missiles is a major negligence. The fighter's maneuverability and firepower cannot be achieved at the same time. Now it has become a big trouble!
In this way, they fought back and forth, and they consumed physical energy and had oil-storage combat for a long time. With Long Yun's spirit and physical strength, they felt a little overwhelmed. The breathing became a little heavy, and Long Yun cursed in the cockpit. These Americans were really difficult to deal with - the Air Force's F-15 fled faster than the Rockets, so why did they get up again with a more difficult "super cat"!
When will the enemy continue like this? When the enemy drains all the missiles, or runs out of fuel and falls into the sea?
Looking at the fuel gauge, there are less than 1,800 liters of fuel left in the Red 17 fighter at this time, so it would be really bad if this continues.
Just when Long Yun was in a flash and wanted to find some tricks to get rid of these two powerful f-14s, or simply lure them to come up and get caught with a string of shells, the radar emblem sounded intermittently, and the flashing light on the x-band signaled that there was a ground radar lock signal; Long Yun glanced at him and found it was really strange. There was a vast sea around him, so where was there any ground radar illuminating him?
Just when he was confused, the ticking prompt from the IF system made him react, and then he realized that the intermittent illumination signal just now should be from a mechanically scanned three-coordinate radar, a radar signal from a warship of the Black Sea Fleet.
Suddenly, he became calculating in his mind. Long Yun immediately used rwr to roughly determine the direction of the radiation source, and then decisively turned the direction and flew straight to the direction where the radar was. With his departure, the "Super Cat" behind him thought he was going to escape, so he immediately turned to catch up. The three fighter jets flew rapidly northwest at a low altitude of less than two thousand meters, gradually approaching the radar radiation source in front.
