When Lieutenant William left, everyone's eyes were filled with worry.
"Originally, we thought that the Soviet aircraft only had high-altitude and high-speed advantages, just like the previous second-generation aircraft, while our third-generation aircraft paid more attention to maneuverability and was an advanced fighter guided by the theory of energy maneuvering. However, Now it seems that we still underestimate the maneuverability of the MiG-25," said Captain Steve, the captain of the aircraft carrier.
"The performance of the MiG-25 is good. We can see that the climb rate of this fighter is not low, and it also swoops to low altitude with our Tomcat fighter. I think the Soviets did not get the order to fire with us. , so no missiles were fired, otherwise, our Tomcat did not crash in a mechanical failure, and would definitely be hit by the opponent with infrared missiles from behind, and the Soviets' short-range missiles are also very advanced." Colonel Ted also said.
Before departure, he planned to detour to the waters of the Sea of Japan to demonstrate to the Soviets. As a result, he was brutally abused by others at his doorstep. This result made the two senior officials of the aircraft carrier very uncomfortable. It's hard to accept, it's the truth.
"Okay, no matter how superior the Soviet fighters are, we can't be discouraged, we need to complete our mission." Lieutenant General Jonard, Commander of the Seventh Fleet, said: "Now, I announce a secret mission, pay attention, the highest Confidential, there is an important mission that requires the cooperation of our fleet."

"The American Tomcat fighter, according to their generation, is considered to be the third generation fighter, which is our fourth generation standard." Andre said: "This kind of fighter has strong maneuverability, especially when it can be used. The variable-sweep wings are automatically controlled by computers, and can maintain a suitable sweep angle at any time, with the most suitable performance in all airspaces. We have to be very careful in close combat with them.”
After returning to Sokolovka, Andrei went to Vladivostok urgently to report to Lieutenant General Konstantin Boermann, Commander-in-Chief of the Far East Air Defense Air Force. There were also other air defense subordinate regiments present. group leadership.
As the only pilot with combat experience with the American Tomcat fighter, Andre was valued by the Air Force, and this time Andre's action was not criticized. On the contrary, Lieutenant General Constantine Andre He praised the bold and daring action, and believed that this time it was a deep blow to the confidence of the U.S. Naval Air Force.
You must know that the Soviet Union has always been a Continental Army, and the navy has not been able to compete with the US Navy until now. And Andre actually flew over the US aircraft carrier formation at an ultra-low altitude, which shows that the strength of the aircraft carrier formation promoted by the Americans is disguised, and their real combat effectiveness is still vulnerable!
Despise the opponent strategically, and value the opponent tactically! The performance of the American F-4 and F-5 fighters has been mastered by the Soviet Air Defense Air Force. Only the most advanced F-14 fighter aircraft still retains the veil of mystery. Therefore, Andre's experience is very important now. Because he fought an American plane at close range! Moreover, it also "shot down" the opponent!
"It's automatically controlled by the computer, Commander Andre, how did you know?" Just when Andre's voice fell, an aviation regiment commander asked.
The one who is talking is the head of the 41st regiment, Malinlovsky, and his aviation regiment is all MiG-23. This fighter is the same variable-sweep wing fighter. After all, the variable-sweep wing is a a trend at the time.
However, the swept wing of the MiG-23 is not automatic and is completely controlled by humans. In the fierce combat flight, the pilot also needs to manually adjust the swept angle to realize the advantages of the variable swept wing. It's not an arbitrary angle, it can only be three manually controlled angles. In a fierce battle, who still has the mind to pay attention to the sweep angle at all times? So many pilots are accustomed to control the swept wing in the middle position, and then it is fixed.
And the American plane can actually be controlled automatically by a computer? This made him a little disbelieving.
"Yes, automatic control, because when I was fighting with the opponent, I observed that the angle of the opponent's swept wing changed continuously, and at that time, the opponent was maneuvering with a large overload, I'm afraid my fingers didn't have time to dial. Adjust the switch manually." Andre said: "The electronic technology of the Americans has surpassed ours by a lot. My fighter was locked by them at a distance of more than 100 kilometers, and then launched two Phoenixes. ."
A distance of more than 100 kilometers! Even the airborne radar of the most powerful MiG-25 cannot reach this level.
"Does this kind of fighter have any weaknesses?" Another person asked. In the current air combat, close-range combat is still the main method. Although the Air Defense Force likes to launch its own medium-range missiles under the guidance of the ground, and then leave, but , The target of this battle is a slow bomber. If it is an advanced fighter, the effect of its own medium-range missiles is very poor If you want to shoot down the opponent, you can only enter into close combat.
Listening to Andre's words, if the opponent's movable swept wings are computer-controlled automatic swept wings, then fighting against such a fighter is very dangerous.
"Yes, their engines are immature," Andrei said. "Their planes can fly high and overload maneuvers, but their engines limit the performance of their planes. So, once we get close to them, Before the fight, you can give it a shot, as long as they don’t get the first chance to attack, they are likely to have mechanical failures.”
Fighting with the opponent, the opportunity is actually due to the opponent's mechanical failure, this sounds difficult to accept, but Andre knows that this is the case. In future generations, if it is not for the interests of the high-level US, the Tomcat will definitely not. Retired, the American F-15, F-16, these advanced third-generation aircraft, simply do not dare to engage in close combat with the Tomcat, the Tomcat with the F110 engine is an invincible existence in the sky!
Fortunately, it's only TF30 now!
"The American aircraft carrier formation is still conducting exercises in the Pacific Ocean, and Moscow has instructed our Far East Military Region to continue monitoring." Lieutenant General Constantine continued: "The next step is to dispatch Tu-95 reconnaissance aircraft to conduct long-distance reconnaissance. , escorted by the 592 regiment that just arrived at the Kamenei Iruchii base. We must protect our reconnaissance aircraft and prevent the Americans from derailing."
"Yes." said the head of the 592 regiment.
