"Two targets, for example, 150, the height is 6,000, and the speed is 1.2." Christoph looked at his radar screen and reported calmly.

These two targets must have taken off from the aircraft carrier, just because the target of the aircraft is much smaller than that of the aircraft carrier, and its own radar can detect it at a distance of 150 kilometers, which is already quite good.

In the distance, there must be American carrier-based early warning aircraft, but the distance is too far to be displayed on their own radar. Although Soviet aviation is suitable for combat under ground guidance, the new Soviet Navy carrier-based fixed-wing aviation is an exception, they must be able to fight independently!

Although the long-range radars of the warships in the rear can also serve as the guidance of the ground CGI, the distance will not exceed 300 kilometers, and the two carrier-based aircraft of our own are actually providing more long-range early warning for the warships.

"Monitor American aircraft, be careful, don't take the initiative to attack." The voice of the commander on the rear aircraft carrier came through the headset.

Unlike the submarines that just dealt with the Americans, the submarines appeared in the waters they were sailing, so they had to find the other party. However, the aircraft on the aircraft carrier was different. The flight range of the aircraft was very long. your own? If the opponent flies into their own aircraft carrier formation, or the distance is too close, such as within 40 kilometers, they can shoot down, but now, in the airspace hundreds of kilometers away, they can only be close to each other, not light The start of the battle.

"Understood." Christoph turned on the afterburner and quickly climbed high. The two American planes were obviously coming toward him. You don't need to guess to know that they must be the Tomcat fighters with air superiority. The aircraft may be frightened by our own side, but now, our own fighter jets are already extremely powerful!

Opposite, the two Tomcats of the Coral Squadron also have the same idea. Their mission is to test the Soviets, and they must not be the first to fire!

The captain, Powell, turned on the afterburner, the F110 engine issued a majestic thrust, the wings swept back, and flew forward quickly, continuing to climb.

In order to improve the heart problem of the Tomcat fighter, the US Navy finally made up its mind and gradually replaced the TF30 engine of its own Tomcat fighter with the latest F110 engine!

As the first turbofan engine for fighter jets, Tomcat's original TF30 engine is unreliable, and the compressor often stalls and stops. In the air battle, the engine dragged down the pilot more than once. Moreover, the Tomcat equipped with the TF30 engine has a thrust-to-weight ratio of only 0.7. If it were not for the advantage of the variable swept wing, the Tomcat would not be able to dominate the sky at all.

Therefore, the US Navy has long wanted to improve the engine! In 1973, it was equipped with the F401 engine for test flight. Unfortunately, the engine at that time had various problems.

According to the historical progress, the F110 is extremely immature now, but the war in the Far East has caused the US Air Force's fighter jets to lie down at a critical time, and the F110 engine is almost facing the possibility of falling out of favor in the US Air Force. Therefore, Pratt & Whitney A lot of effort was made to improve, and finally the engine was mature.

The U.S. Navy, facing the threat of the Soviet Navy, also needs a powerful carrier-based fighter, so the F110 was installed on the Tomcat fighter, and the U.S. Navy pilots have since raised their eyebrows. This is the real fighter, no longer needed. Be careful with the engine!

The thrust of the F110 is 30% greater than that of the TF30, and the air combat thrust-to-weight ratio of the Tomcat has already exceeded 1, which means that our side can finally climb vertically without any effort!

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, breathing the oxygen in the oxygen mask, two identical variable-sweep-wing fighter jets appeared in Powell's field of vision. I heard that the Soviets have changed this fighter jet to be extremely abnormal. Like, just give it a try!

For American pilots, apart from being afraid of the pervert of the MiG-25, there is nothing else to be afraid of!

Both sides were flying head-to-head, and as the fighter jets whizzed past, they started to turn at the same time. If it was an official air battle just now, it's time to launch your own omnidirectional combat bomb, the Sidewinder! And now, just play with the Soviets!

The air combat performance of the Panda fighter is the most powerful among all fighters in the United States. Even the F-15 of the US Air Force cannot take a round under the body of the Tomcat! Powell pulled the lever and pedaled the rudder. The huge overload pressed him tightly against the chair. The wings were fully opened, and its circle radius was the smallest.

A dashing arc circled over, Powell looked towards the airspace ahead, it was clean and there was nothing!

What about the Soviet planes? Where did you go?

"Redwoods, six o'clock!" came the voice of the pilot of another plane in the headset.

The radar operator at the rear looked back hard, but unfortunately blocked by the tall seat back, he couldn't see directly behind, but it was absolutely certain that the other party was behind!

Damn, your circling isn't slow, how could the other party swerve and fly behind you? How terrifying should the opponent's hovering ability be? Of course he didn't know that the other party was not just hovering horizontally, but hovering horizontally and rolling vertically, a spiral rising and changing course!

But now, facing the plane behind him, Powell was not afraid at all, he pulled the engine and turned on the afterburner.

Come on, the Soviet clown, the second-generation machine with a rustic appearance, come after me!

The surging thrust from the tail of the F110 engine pushed the Tomcat to climb up quickly. At the same time, Powell was still pulling the rod and pedaling the rudder to make a spiral rise.

Stupid Americans, do you think they're flying an advanced plane? Christophe sneered inwardly, he turned on the afterburner, pulled the lever, and climbed upwards.

The two fighter jets that spiral upwards are like entwined vines. In air combat technology, this action is called scissor climbing.

In this confrontation, whoever has excellent vertical maneuverability will have the advantage! Or to put it more simply, this is the thrust-to-weight ratio of a fighter jet!

If it is a single-engine MiG-23, the thrust-to-weight ratio is definitely not enough, even if it is a model with the latest turbojet engine! And Americans, it was only after obtaining the performance data of the latest single-shot MiG-23 exported by the Soviet Union that they dared to play this trick with Soviet fighters.
