Chapter 1015: eager to try

"Kakamas is closer to the West Bank, but if our aircraft carrier formation goes there, it is easy for the black people to discover our intentions and take precautions." The aviation director continued: "So, our tactics are to continue Stay in the current sea area, go through long-distance raids, and then raid the base over there."

Now, the eastern part of South Africa has almost recovered, and the black people are retreating to the west, so their air base is also in the west, but if their aircraft carrier formation goes around, they will definitely be shocked. better.

Hearing his words, the pilots below all pondered, and Christoph first asked: "This is beyond the range of our fighter jets. If we want to carry out this raid, we must go through aerial refueling."

More than 2,000 kilometers back and forth, if it is full of bombs, the fighter jets of their own are indeed beyond the range. Unless they land on land when they come back, they can only refuel in the air.

"Yes, we will have four tankers at the base in South Africa to support our mission," continued the Director of Aviation.

Air refueling has been considered. Although the South African side proposed that it can be done by them, the current South African Air Force still has several C47 transport aircraft, some of which have air refueling capabilities. However, of course, the Soviet Navy is not at ease, it is still its own. The refueling machine is more assured.

"Well, since there are aerial tankers, then we'll have no problem," Christoph said. "It's definitely going to be a simple bombing mission."

"This mission is not easy." At this moment, Andre said: "Although the two South African Air Forces shot down this time are the most primitive Mirage 3s, the pilots of the South African Air Force The quality of the aircraft is quite high, and it was very strange that they were shot down this time. They did not find any trace of the enemy plane, and the radar of the ground troops did not find it."

Andre looked at all the pilots: "So, we speculate that the Americans may have sent their stealth planes to South Africa for actual combat testing."

The details cannot stand scrutiny. After careful analysis, Andre believes that the United States may bring their advanced aircraft over to improve the record!

Stealth aircraft have great advantages over non-stealth aircraft! And, on the other hand, if the American stealth aircraft has matured earlier, then the advanced active radar-guided air-to-air missiles provided by the Americans may also be mature!

In air combat, in addition to relying on good psychological quality and correct response to avoid active air-to-air missiles, the pilot's luck is also very important. Well, just luck!

After all, in later generations, even though Andre was a test pilot, he knew the dilemma faced by the Air Force. The Air Force was forced to use its own second-generation aircraft to face the third-generation aircraft in the Western world, and use crude missiles to face others. The active air-to-air missiles proposed various tactics, but the results were very depressing.

The only way to fight against active radar-guided air-to-air missiles is to develop the same active radar-guided air-to-air missiles! If you want to fight against stealth aircraft, the only option is to have the same stealth aircraft yourself!

After decades of accumulation, Huaxia has finally achieved breakthroughs in all aspects, and has the capital to truly face the advanced aircraft in the Western world.

And now, history has changed a lot. In the case that the Americans may deploy stealth aircraft in South Africa, they must also be careful!

Stealth plane? Hearing this, Christopher's eyes flashed immediately: "Comrade Marshal, I request our Su-37 two-plane formation to carry out lift-off operations, and we fly at the front of the formation!"

Finally there is a battle! Moreover, it is still fighting against the most advanced American fighter jets. This kind of battle can really show its ability! Christoph couldn't help but want to jump in.

"Yes, this is also our action plan." Andre said: "If you really encounter an American stealth plane, Christoph, your two-plane formation is under great pressure. You must first shoot down the Americans and protect them. Our formation!"

There are not many stealth planes brought by our side this time, only two. If you encounter a large fleet of American stealth aircraft, it will be troublesome. However, this possibility is very small. After all, it is only 1984. Even if the American stealth aircraft is finalized, it is just a matter of equipping the troops. , the number of such aircraft cannot be too many, and it is even less likely that they will all be brought to the battlefield.

At most, that is, one or two, just check it out.

The pilots in the conference room were eager to try, and the action plan was quickly formulated!

If you don't need mid-air refueling, then it is best to attack at night. When you come back, it is just dawn, just to launch a night attack. However, because only 50% of the pilots were skilled in night-time aerial refueling because they needed to refuel in the air, the final attack time was set in the morning.

April in the southern hemisphere is already the turn of summer and autumn. The sky is clear and the waves are not high. It is a good weather for flying!

The area of ​​the apron of the Soviet aircraft carrier, as well as the rear deck, are already covered with fighter planes, and the runway of the four catapults in front is filled with white smoke.

The advantages of the catapult are vividly displayed. If it is an angled deck, only one can take off at a time, and the interval is also long. Now, at an interval of one second, four Su-33s full of bombs have been catapulted into the air. !

In the first batch, twelve Su-33s mounted on ground attack were ejected, and enough to destroy a simple field airfield. At the same time, after waiting for two minutes, after the boiler increased the pressure again, the six Su-33s and a Yak-44 early warning aircraft mounted on the second batch of air superiors flew into the sky!

The steam on the deck dissipated, and the parking area at the rear was empty. At this time, two flat black fighter planes were lifted up through the elevator on the side.

Sitting in the cockpit, watching the deck crew pull his fighter to the ejection position, Christoph was in a great mood, and he was finally about to take off for battle!

Although Christoph's twin planes were the last to be ejected, he was not worried at all, and soon, he would fly to the front!

Under the skillful gestures of the deck personnel, the Su-37 fighter flew high, and the huge overload made Christoph feel that the flesh on both sides of his cheeks was pulling back. Then, with a light body, the fighter plane has already taken off!
