Chapter 55 Attacking Eagle's Interception

The attack was launched from the rear half of the enemy plane, and the distance between the enemy and us was within three thousand meters. The opponent should be in danger now!

However, one thing was beyond Long Yun's expectation. The pilot of the F-16c aircraft in sight was obviously not an ordinary person. He was already shaking behind him and could not find the "War Falcon" wingman in the north at all. After detecting that the opponent launched the missile, the Turks' response was quite accurate. While changing the hovering angle, they released a set of infrared interference bombs. Long Yun could almost clearly see the r-73m dragging the white tail smoke lingering and twisting in the air, and then was attracted by the interference bombs in the wrong direction!

Seeing that his fierce attack was thrillingly thrown away by his opponent, his competitive spirit surged for a moment and was suppressed by Long Yun in his heart. Instead, he did not rashly start to increase his strength to continue chasing his opponent, but stared at the southern sky with high gear.

With his keen vision, he vaguely discovered several vague black spots in the southern sky at this moment. The cunning Turks were fleeing to the southwest, preparing to lead themselves to the front of the fierce American fleet and then attract a wave of dense missile volleys?

Thinking of this rather cunning tactic, Long Yun in the cockpit showed a disapproving smile.

It doesn’t matter if the long plane escapes, there is an unlucky guy behind him!

As the belt rod pulls out an extremely high angle of attack and then uses barrel roll to change the maneuver plane, Red No. 17 hoveres to the left after violently decelerating; the Turkish wingman, who has just come back from the overload, is returning to the level flight state. The excellent shooting conditions have left Long Yun without hesitation. Another series of aviation cannon shells shot out, as if an invisible long whip suddenly twitched the thin body of the "War Falcon"!

Unlike the directional warheads of air-to-air missiles, close-range air cannon shooting often damages the structural damage to fighter jets.

Taking the 30 mm caliber high-explosive bomb of the GSH-30 air cannon, it is often the only way to hit a few shots for light fighters, let alone such intensive shooting.

As the pilot had just recovered from the overload caused by violent maneuvers, he had no sense of the attack at all and did not dodge any maneuvers to swallow several bombs in a row. The explosion of fire almost reflected the attacker's vision. The originally light and neat fuselage immediately turned into a terrible wreckage that caught fire, smoke, and rolled and fell.

Since then, this is the fifth NATO fighter jet he shot down!

After the first attack after leaving, Long Yun fought very easily, because after the wingman separated, one of them achieved three results; he witnessed this scene silently on the remote monitoring radar. He made the contact officer on the e-3a early warning aircraft clench his teeth and said nothing.

This hateful Russian, the terrible god of death of the Caucasus!

He glared at the combat dispatcher on the camera position beside him, and the liaison officer shook his hand hatefully, thinking that this guy had guessed it - the four friendly F-16c "fighting falcons" who went forward without authorization to catch the enemy, would immediately lose most of the losses; if it weren't for the air situation monitoring that played a certain role, these unlucky Turkish fighter jets would probably fill the sea directly, and they would not even delay the opponent's actions!

But even so, after the remaining "war falcon" who was commanding the only remaining "war falcon" turned to the southwest to accelerate the escape, a sinister smile appeared on the liaison officer's face.

If several "fighting falcons" that lost the Turks can be exchanged for a favorable battle situation, then what's wrong?

Sitting on an early warning aircraft far away from the front, dispatching according to the command center, and coordinating with fighter jets in large airspace. This kind of thing is as easy as playing chess in theory, but in fact it requires extremely high combat experience and battlefield insight.

Just now, the combat deployment issued to the US "Assault Eagle" fleet and the Turkish "Fighting Falcon" fleet should be to approach Russian fighters from different directions, and then use the "Sparroer" with a large range difference to intensively shoot the opponent, causing a huge peak in missile density to appear in the target airspace, and use this terrifying pressure that ordinary people can not cope with to solve the Russian threat. But who knew that the cunning Russians frequently changed their course in the air and implemented maneuvering evasion. By the time the an/apy-1 radar re-intercepted the target, the coordination of the two NATO fighters had already deviated; then the Turks even rashly entered visual contact with the enemy aircraft, resulting in unnecessary major losses.

Not to mention, staring at the display screen in front of you, the contact officer also found that he had clearly misjudged the opponent's intention to act.

He had always thought that this "flanker" who came quickly and was hiding all the way, after fighting with the F-15c fleet and breaking through NATO's first air interceptor line, would probably continue to advance and search and attack NATO's ground attack aircraft; but now it seems that his judgment has obviously made some mistakes. This guy seems to be here to fight NATO fighters, or to accumulate achievements in air combat?

But no matter what, since the battle has been fought like this, even if the "attack eagle" that is regarded as the ultimate defense above, it must drive this abominable Russian "death" to the side away from the front as soon as possible.

As for whether he can be shot down?

Thinking of this, the corners of the contact officer's eyes were twitching slightly. He witnessed the previous Caucasian air battle at his post with his own eyes. Just because of the few F-15e in front of him, he probably wouldn't have such hope!

"Postal-two (Postman No. 2), postal-two, the target position has been updated. Retreat immediately after launching the next round of BVR attacks, waiting for subsequent support. Do not enter visual contact, repeat, do not enter visual contact!"

"Postal-two has been received, please pay attention to monitoring the nearby airspace. Our team has entered the distance of the fight and is ready to launch an attack! It's over."

Just now, Major Fletcher Harris, who was leading the team F-15e "Attack Hawk", saw the Turkish "Fighting Falcon" passing by at high speed on the side of his own formation, pressed the call button and gave two tepid responses to the "counter".

Not long ago, when he was transferred from the war-torn European battlefield and moved to the Caucasus with his part of the 15th Air Wing, he came to this more dangerous land with his six shots, driving the "Attack Eagle" that was similar to the previous air-optimized F-15c to undertake the heavy tasks of the war zone reserve team.

As an ace pilot who is good at air combat, in recent weeks, the cooperation between him and the rear weapon operator has not been tacitly understood. He has long had a vague awareness: that is, on this front facing Russia directly, the 42nd Squadron of the 15th Regiment, which he was responsible for, cannot always do the main business of ground attacks. "Specializing in air defense" is probably the main job of "attacking the Eagle". Now it seems that his imagination has become a reality.

After receiving the order from the "Counter", he was concerned about the terrible strength of the enemy plane in front of him. The first batch of "slammer" volley particles were not harvested and also reminded Harris to be extra careful.

Now, since the superiors did not make them necessary to annihilate their opponents, he naturally would not command the young men to take risks, so the major immediately ordered a group of F-15e dual-machines to clear left and right, and stare at the only enemy in front of them with radar. Once the opponent approaches within 50 kilometers, he will use the "slammer" to launch an attack without hesitation; he and his wingman hid behind the two-machine in front, preparing to take risks in front of the Russians, and replenish guns from the side when implementing mobile evasion missiles.

In short, facing opponents like "Caucasus Death", although passive defense is helpless, it is not shameful; unlike the young boys who are full of energy and ambitions, Harris knows very well how terrifying this guy named Victor is, and it is completely different from other tricky Russian aces. This guy's combat power is obviously not on the same level as the ace pilots in the battle. The shooting down results of more than 60 aircraft are equivalent to the total of the ace records ranked second to fifth in the battle!

"Postal-three, postal-four, be careful to keep the engagement distance of no less than 35 (miles), do not leave the intercept line and act without authorization!"

"Postal-three received, the distance is forty, it's over!"

“Postal-four is received, finished!”

He hovered in the sky with a dark gray two-seat heavy fighter, cruised on a standard wave route, and strictly prevented Russian fighter jets from suddenly attacking. Harris's defense tactics were quite rigorous and low-key; he correctly guessed that there should be little fuel left in the "Flanker" aircraft that had experienced two encounters, and it would be impossible to spend a long time with the "Attack Hawks" who had just taken off the air.

It is a tactic that does not seek merit but seeks self-protection, is it?

The gray-blue eyes stared at the light blue sky in the north. Harris in the front row of the cockpit looked very calm, but his mind was filled with a completely different plan.

Yes, he is waiting for an opportunity; waiting for a battlefield situation to change and an opportunity to make a difference.

Just as the four F-15e led by Harris were waiting for the battle in the southern sky, they solved the lonely Turkish "fighting falcon", but Long Yun was now in a dilemma.

Driving the red No. 17 in blue and white camouflage, he circled leisurely in the sky. He found that the Americans on the other side had no intention of approaching to fight melee. He was quite alert and did not immediately rush forward to continue fighting. To briefly evaluate the current situation, he guessed that the opponent was probably taking a defensive position, waiting for him to rush forward to meet the baptism of "slammer", and then entered the air melee with the advantage of insufficient energy.
