Just after Harris issued the order, two fighter jets in the formation had already launched missiles in a hurry. Four gray-white "slammers" gradually separated from the f-15e's fuselage hanger and disappeared from sight with a fluffy tail flame.

Seeing this scene while turning, the Lieutenant Colonel immediately called out:

"Stop launching, stop launching! Pay attention to the radar alarm prompt, and all aircraft will immediately turn and avoid according to the scheduled plan."

Facing the enemy who turned around and fled, launching the missile was completely meaningless. After all, for the Russian "flanker" who turned and left the supersonic sideways, the attack envelope of the aim-120b missile was very severely reduced, and there was no possibility of hitting the launch distance of tens of kilometers.

According to the commander's order, the possibility of the Russians using active bullets was highly valued. Dark gray "attack eagles" carried missiles that had not been launched into the evasion track, and translocated horizontally along the smooth arc route.

The pilots turned and flew in the air. The trained pilots fully understood Lieutenant Colonel Harris' intentions. Faced with air-to-air missiles without the care of the carrier aircraft, even if they were active missiles, as long as they kept flying horizontally as possible, they left the antenna detection cone of the missile's self-conductor head before the missile arrived at the predetermined starting point, and could get rid of the missile's threat at once.

As the fighter planes spread left and right in the sky, Harris tried to contact the "Torch" on the radio, but found that the channel had a rare unanswered situation. He could only upload the position changes of the Russian "Flanker" through the data link, but he could not report the latest trends of the enemy in a timely manner.

Realizing that this is probably because there are too many air-stagnant fighter jets in the Caucasus War Zone today and there are some problems with the command center dispatch. While enduring the overload discomfort of reverse side turn, Harris was secretly speculating on how the battle in the surrounding airspace was going on; and he was also wondering whether the Russians who sent more fighters. Their simple and backward battlefield command and control system would have been paralyzed earlier?

If so...

It is precisely because they cannot get command that the Russian fighter jets on the opposite side will escape?

Realizing that the battle situation today is extraordinary and the enemy's behavior is also very strange. A faint intuition made Lieutenant Colonel Harris think about it suspiciously, but he never came to a credible conclusion.

However, unlike the lieutenant colonel who was in a brief confusion, Captain Harper Cartel in the rear seats has been loyal to his duties. The "Attack Eagle" who turned sideways was still monitoring the northern sky with radar. The display screen represents the target indicators of the enemy planes, and the accompanying speed figure is still negative.

At this time, the captain heard the call from a friendly fighter plane, and the "Postman" No. 2 reminded Harris in his headphones:

"The 'postman' calls No. 2, there are 'scissors' approaching in the low altitude, and the target information has been transmitted; repeat, the 'scissors' at the low altitude are approaching, and it's finished."

"Received, uh...the target data has been confirmed. - Boss, the low-altitude MiG fleet is approaching, at our ten o'clock direction!"

“——Oh, really!”

A moment ago, he was thinking about "why did the Russians do this for?" Harris was awakened by his partner and suddenly noticed several targets that reappeared on the display screen, which was the first batch of low-altitude fighter jets they discovered. At this time, the troops were dividing into two groups and infiltrating south; I don't know where the Canadians who were supposed to be on standby nearby were going, the lieutenant colonel frowned and thought for a moment, and he immediately grabbed the enemy's intention to act.

To dispatch so many "flankers" at once, perhaps it is to attract our own attention so that other fighter jets can see through from low altitudes. This must be the case!

Suddenly, it seemed that he had learned everything. The lieutenant colonel shuddered in the cockpit. The fire control system had always judged the models of those fighters as "fulcrums", but based on the flight characteristics, electromagnetic signal characteristics and rcs, the accuracy of this judgment is actually very average. So, perhaps different from his previous imagination, those Russian fighters flying at low altitudes are likely to be a large number of "fighters j" or "assemblers", that is, the attacking ground attack aircraft?

Suddenly, the situation seemed to have changed. The command center also sent a response, confirming that the Russian fighter jets in the 8422 and 8423 airspace in the north were still flying north, and there were no other medium and high-altitude targets in the nearby airspace. Harris was anxious to call in the contact channel and asked the command center to confirm the location of the Canadian squadron, but was told that "the Maple Leaf Squadron is intercepting Russian fighter bombers in the airspace in the east", which means that they must solve the current problem by themselves.

Since the original target of attack has turned and evacuated, solving low-altitude fighter jets is the top priority.

Thinking of this, the Lieutenant Colonel contacted various aircraft and asked his subordinates to form a combat formation again, and each used radar to track and lock a large number of targets below, and at the same time used the data link to allocate the target channels.

The distance between the enemy and us is 53,000 meters, and the height difference is 5,000 meters. At this time, the launch of the "slammer" will have a very high probability of killing, and we are not worried that the opponent will repeat the same trick - whether it is a Russian attack aircraft or a fighter aircraft, as long as it is completely driven away to ensure that no Russian fighter jets appear over Tshinvali, then our fighter jets can swagger in the air to bombard the ground forces and provide strong support for the offensive of ground troops.

So that's now, track, lock, launch!

Sending the Russians and their fighter planes back to their hometown was the only thought of Lieutenant Colonel without distraction.

In the sky, the dark gray fighter jets flying in the wind, the aim-120bs on the fuselage are ready to go; however, in the gray-blue sky where white clouds are floating, a large number of deadly guns dragging thin smoke are approaching, and the radiation detection antenna in the parabola cone has been aimed at the radiation source in the sky: f-15e "Attack Eagle".

These off-white missiles covered with dense sky were naturally launched by a group of su-27s that were returned, which were launched by fighter jets from the 237th Fighter Aviation Regiment.

Flying a fighter jet to catch the enemy at high speed, identify the radiation source and launch an anti-radiation missile, and then immediately turn to break out of contact with the opponent. This kind of tactic of leaving with one strike can be applied. Basically, it is only possible for r-27p/ep to be put into combat to make it happen.

In a silent contest just now, facing the American radar lock, Major Kamenev, who was driving the su-27m fighter forward, faithfully executed the order sent by the ground command center. While asking his comrades to turn on the radar, he casually illuminated the American fighter jets on the opposite side, while maintaining close contact with the ground guidance station, and taking the next action at any time according to the instructions of the data link to be linked.

In today's unprecedented war, the 237th Regiment fighter jets located in the airspace of the central Caucasus and the low-altitude 390th Regiment G-29m formation were in harmony. For the fighter collaboration problem that is so large and will definitely encounter electronic interference from US fighter jets, the Red Air Force, which is relatively backward in electronic communication technology, adopted a rather simple and practical "dividing and conquer" strategy, and successfully coordinated the fighter jets of the two aviation regiments to wait for an opportunity to advance and retreat on one side of the front line, creating an almost perfect combat situation for the use of anti-radiation missiles.

The so-called "dividing and conquer" is like now. The data link channel of the command center is only in contact with the Kamenev landline, and the data conveyed does not include the air situation details in the nearby airspace. This information will be processed at the ground command center and responded in accordance with the tactical principles proposed by Major General Victor Rezenov and approved by the Supreme Command. All the people sent to the front-line combatants are only brief instructions on how to act.

After receiving the command center, he led the captain to contact each aircraft via radio and made corresponding tactical adjustments.

This kind of command method of hierarchical processing generally cannot cope with intense and intense air-optimistic combat, but it is completely effective for the "queuing and shooting" tactic that exerts the power of r-27p/ep.

Now, the radar range measurement shows that the enemy plane is about 80 kilometers away, and the speed is Mach one point. The ground command center also issued the order to "accelerate and fire"; briefly compare the r-27p/ep missile attack envelope data that I had memorized in the previous theoretical training class, and confirm that the command center's judgment through long-range radar calculations was correct. Kamenev immediately ordered all fighter jets to start up and continue to speed up, and prepare for missile launch!

As the order was issued, a long blue-gray camouflage fighter with big red five-pointed stars, the flames at the tail nozzle became brighter, and the rapid airflow swept through the fuselage quickly appeared a white mist, and it suddenly dissipated in a flash.

As the fighter opened its full force and broke through the sound barrier, all the Su-27s fighter carrying off the off-white R-27ep missiles on all available hanging points quickly climbed to a height of 6,000 meters. The young men followed the skillful steps of the exercise to capture the x-band radar radiation signal in the sky. After a brief angle measurement and data preparation, the anti-radiation missile was completed.

Unlike semi-active radar-guided missiles that require carriers to indicate where the target is, the launch and subsequent guidance of new missiles have truly achieved "no matter after launch", and to a greater extent, they are just a "release".

Considering that American fighter planes could not fly flat until they hit the missile, the pilots of the 237th Regiment each used a fan in front of the airspace as the area of ​​the strike firepower coverage area, and used fire control computers to set out rough parameters for the missile.

All the steps are completed, which is very similar to the process during the exercise. Now I will wait for the order of the regiment commander.
Chapter completed!
