In Major Morris's view, the losses of the two "attack hawks" are enough to illustrate the problem.

Although the loss of two fighter jets is not a big deal in the fierce air battle, isn’t this obvious enough as evidence of the reappearance of “Death”?

"Okay. Then,"

After looking at the large three-dimensional war zone situation in front of him, the commander seemed to hesitate for a moment before waving the order: "Maintain the original plan and order the 'Yellowstone' squadron to carry out the next process!"

With the issuance of orders, several "Lantern" strategic bombers that had been wandering for a short time over the Mediterranean immediately turned north, accompanied by escort fighters, approached the southern border of Turkey, and further flew northward, preparing to project "Alkham" at a distance less than 500 kilometers from the northern coast of the Black Sea.

Just in the combat area of ​​this large number of fighter jets, the windy and rainy west side of the Black Sea, the long-lasting fierce air battle has entered a white heat, providing excellent cover for the bomber's low-altitude raid.

Using the harsh storm weather as cover, we first use tactical air force to attract and delay the air defense forces of the Warsaw Pact, and then dispatch a large number of fighter jets to carry out a dragnet-style cleaning. Just when the two sides fought with all their might and no one in the sky had time to take care of each other, we used the frontal RCS to attack the B-1B that was almost the same as a "war falcon" to attack, and carried out air strikes on Soviet deep targets that had been unable to be effectively destroyed before.

Such a tactic is worthy of striving to achieve: in modern wars where information is first and system confrontation is focused, as long as it can severely strike the key nodes of the opponent's communications, command systems and air defense networks, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

In the gray low sky, flying over the rolling mountains of the Asia Minor Peninsula from hundreds of meters high. Using the storm ahead to avoid the detection and tracking of Soviet long-range radars. Several b-1bs of the "Yellowstone" squadron gradually entered the dense rainfall zone and quickly passed through the gradually increasing wind. As the fighter plane flew northward, the huge swept wings collected by the "Lavenders" cut through the hazy continuous rain and fog out of thin air. The rain water hitting the fuselage was quickly swept by the airflow, leaving a fleeting gray-white trail behind the slender dark gray figure.

Take off from the newly established Tunisian base and no longer requires long-distance raids. The four B-1B Lancer bombers lined up in an oblique line not only loaded with eight AGM-86c in the fuselage cabin, but also carried up to fourteen "Alkhams" in total at the fuselage hanging point; the four heavy bombers had more than 80 cruise missiles at a time. It can be imagined that each "Alkham" that successfully penetrated the Soviet air defense network would cause serious damage to the target with a high-explosive warhead weighing hundreds of kilograms.

In the continuous storm, the "lancers" full of missiles are constantly approaching the front line, and a dense missile raid is right in front of you!

...

Just as the US Air Force's strategic bombers were coming, in the storm over the Black Sea, a large number of fighter jets had been fighting on the turbulent waves of the rage sea for a long time, but there was still no sign of a victory or defeat.

This unexpected and intensified battle began in the early morning of that day.

Early in the morning of this day, the two-day ground rest ended. Long Yun, who was wearing his flight suit, put his flight helmet on his head and hurriedly walked through the base path into the well-disguised reinforced hangar in the gust of wind and rain. He grabbed a towel and wiped the rain on his face casually. He didn't bother to take a breath and worked with the ground crew to conduct routine inspections on the white No. 20 su-27s that had just been assigned.

"Comrade Major General. The missile has been mounted, radar and other electronic equipment have been detected, everything is normal!"

"Okay, thank you very much!"

While speaking, he looked up at the huge gray-blue camouflage-painted fighter in front of him. At this time, the wings and fuselage mounts were already full of r-73m and r-27e series missiles, and even the missile launch rails at the wing tip were not empty. Long Yun nodded to the ground crew with satisfaction, "In terms of fuel, just add about 6,000 yuan."

With Long Yun's instructions, the pilots immediately took action and used the temporary filling pump in the hangar to inject aviation kerosene into several filling ports of the su-27s at the same time. In today's severe rainy weather, it is naturally inconvenient to drag the fighter jet to the runway first. Refueling in the rain in the outdoor field is naturally inconvenient, and completing all this indoors can ensure that you can be dispatched at any time.

Sitting on a folding chair in the hangar and chatting with another pilot of the 224th Regiment who walked in. During the time when he was waiting for the NATO fighter plane to come, Long Yun also took the time to go to the adjacent maintenance warehouse to check the maintenance progress of Red 17. Since the Black Sea encounter the day before yesterday, it has been severely damaged due to the close-range detonation of the Aim-120b. After the forced landing, Red 17 has been parked in the heavily guarded maintenance warehouse. There are always two expressionless strong men standing guard with guns at the door. This is not to say that a damaged Su-27 will have some mystery, but the missile jammers on it will not be leaked.

"Igor, what's going on now?"

Seeing Igor Kirilenko, who was still running in the rain early in the morning, Long Yun walked up to pat his shoulder.

"Ah, it's okay! Comrade General, the jammer itself is not seriously damaged, but some components must be replaced. If the fighter is not damaged, but the jammer is broken, we can also hurry up and transport another backup machine to replace it. But now it's time to temporarily modify your new fighter here, it's not too late, and it's difficult to keep it confidential."

"Well, I think it's the same. - But it's okay, since the Americans have the 'slammer', the 'sparrow' series of missiles have not been the main threat."

After chatting with Kirirenko, who put down his work, Long Yun did not urgently need missile jammers to provide asylum; it is obvious that in the western Black Sea airspace where the 224th Regiment is stationed, the US Navy's activities are even more frequent than the US Air Force. Based on his grasp in the real world, the American E/F-18e "Super Hornet" fighter jet must have the ability to use "slammer".

Now, since Americans don’t know that there are “missile jammers”, they will definitely abandon the “Sparrow” series of missiles as much as possible; facing the strong challenge of US Navy fighter jets with active bullets, a head-on strike is the best solution. Long Yun, who is temporarily living in the 224th Regiment, has a clear understanding of this.

but……

Who made him not have the initiative to use it now?

I was a little anxious because of the progress of the counter-weapon development and knew that Kirirenko in front of me was completely reliable, so Long Yun discussed with him the improvement of the 9b-1032 self-directed approach; just as the two were about to end the topic, a loud battle alarm suddenly rang in his ears. He hurriedly said goodbye to Kirirenko and ran back to the hangar, climbed into the White No. 20 fighter jet with the help of ground crews, and closed the canopy.
