The pressure turned into power. In the face of the threat of death, relying on the cannon with 750 rounds of ammunition, the defected No. 024 Cobra helicopter killed the two chasing helicopters. At the same time, it also used up the last ammunition.
The fuel volume has also begun to run out. Originally, there was plenty of fuel to reach Kushiro, but now, the altitude must be raised to support the rest of the voyage!
Aiming at the course, leaving the wreckage of two helicopters, a layer of fuel floating on the sea, the Cobra helicopter continued to fly.
However, just two minutes into the flight, the sound of the radar warning receiver came from the headset.
Locked by radar!
"It must be an empty F-4!" Ohashi Rokuro said: "Prepare to jump off the plane, we can't deal with the F-4!"
Helicopter and helicopter, air combat can still be dealt with, even if it is only with aerial guns, it can be greeted, but with fixed-wing fighters? That's a complete courtship, what's the helicopter? There is no radar, no advanced air-to-air missiles, no anti-tank missiles to greet fast fighters, and even aiming is impossible! As for the cannon? Can you wait until someone jumps right in front of you and waits for you to fight?
Jump, jump now, there is still a chance to escape, it is locked now, the next moment, the sparrow missile flew over, and the helicopter exploded in three or five times.
There are still dozens of kilometers away from Kushiro. Now that I jumped off the plane, can I swim there? Even jumping off is almost like courting death!
While hesitating, the unique radar warning sound ended!
Looking up, Ohashi Rokuro saw a white trail in the high sky, a fighter jet. It's a Soviet fighter!
Damn, how did the Soviets show up at this time! Air Self-Defense Force pilot Koizumi cursed.
They didn't fly from the Chitose base. Aircraft at Chitose Base. They are still on the way, and they are conducting flight training over the sea area in the southeast. After receiving the order, they rushed here immediately. Fortunately, there was no mistake.
Originally, the radar had locked on the helicopter. The missile was pre-powered and ready to fire, just as he was about to push the button, in his headset. The sound of the radar warning receiver was heard.
"452. 452, two targets were found, the distance is 60, and the altitude is 10,000!" The wingman's radar did not lock on the aircraft on the sea, and was still in the air search state. The target was quickly discovered.
It must be a Soviet fighter jet that flew in from the north! At this time, what should I do? The death order given above is to shoot down the defecting helicopter, because it killed a major general in the United States and a senior official of the Self-Defense Force, and cannot let it escape!
And now, if you want to shoot down this helicopter, you must first solve the Soviet aircraft! The Soviets are aggressive, obviously to cover the helicopter!
"453, Sparrow Missile, solve the Soviet aircraft!" Koizumi pulled the nose, turned on the afterburner, and the F-4 fighter began to climb up quickly, killing the Soviet fighter first! According to the flight altitude and speed of the other party, it can be seen that it should not be a MiG-25. At this time, the air self-defense force of the entire island country is hearing the color of the MiG-25. The altitude and speed of this aircraft are simply invincible. The presence! Now, it should be the Soviet MiG-21 or MiG-23. These two aircraft are not difficult to solve.
At this time, Koizumi still didn't know that his big trouble had just begun.
The 47th Regiment was transferred to the air base in northern Kushiro at the end of last year. The arrival of the 47th Regiment has greatly enhanced the air power of Hokkaido, because the 47th Regiment is the first team in the Far East Military Region to replace the MiG-23MLA fighter. !
MiG-23MLA, historically, this should be a mid-term improvement model of the MiG-23, similar to the prototype. But now, this fighter has undergone earth-shaking changes, and its performance has been greatly improved compared to the original.
After the MiG-23K modified by the Mikoyan Design Bureau, the Navy is quite satisfied with the performance of this fighter. Except that it cannot compete with the American Tomcat fighter at a long distance, the rest of the performance is quite excellent. . Historically, the MiG-23K died prematurely due to the lack of an aircraft carrier and did not serve at all. Now, with Andrei's suggestion, the Minsk aircraft carrier has added a leap deck to prepare for carrying this fighter. . While the Navy was stabilizing its equipment, the Air Force and Air Defense Forces were also jealous.
Now, it will take several years for the third-generation MiG-29 and Su-27 to equip the troops, and at this time, the American F-15 has already entered service. For example, even some island nation self-defense forces have begun Operating the F-15 fighter jets, the Far East Military Region is under great pressure.
Therefore, at the suggestion of Andrei, the MiG-23K was finalized and equipped with the Soviet Navy aircraft carrier. At the same time, using the results of the MiG-23K to refit the existing MiG-23 fighter became a matter of course. choose.
The improvement of the body is not a problem. After all, the MiG-23K was changed to a twin-engine turbofan for the purpose of boarding the ship, which reduced the fuel consumption and increased the thrust, so as to meet the requirements of the ski-jump takeoff and make up for the weight loss due to the boarding of the ship. .
The land-based MiG-23 uses the Tumansky R-35F-300 turbojet engine with a maximum thrust of 8,550 kg and an afterburner thrust of 13,060 kg, and the fuel consumption rate is also greatly reduced. Compared with the original, it is still improved and the internal electronic equipment is all modified with the results of the MiG-23K. The control is a three-degree analog telex. Compared with the original hydraulic control, This is a substantial improvement, and the wings, which previously required manual control in three gears, are now computer-controlled.
Improved Sapphire-23 radar, updated fire control system and automated interception system, and more importantly, more helmet sights! After these improvements, the MiG-23 has a qualitative leap in performance except that the appearance is still the same as the original.
Captain Kuturiv, the captain of the squadron, will never forget the excitement when he took his comrades to receive the new fighter plane. On the return flight, he deeply fell in love with this fighter plane, which does not require manual adjustment. With swept wings, it is easier to guide missiles to the target in combat! There is such a fighter, not to mention the American F-4, even if the F-15 comes up, there is sufficient confidence to fight with them!
At this time, he took his wingman Yuri, took off quickly from the base, came to expel the American plane, and protected the single defected island helicopter. He was full of confidence.
"R-23 launch!" Kuturiv shouted over the radio, pressing his finger on the red launch button on the steering column. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
