Red Soviet Union

Chapter 1106 Shooting Down F-18

Bounce, Bounce! Since the aircraft carrier set sail, the carrier-based aircraft has been in a perfect state. Now, after receiving the order, the Su-33 with ammunition mounted, quickly lifted off from the four catapults!

The dispatch efficiency of the catapult is absolutely unmatched by the ski jump! For example, if the ski jump takes off, only one plane can take off at a time, and the pilot of the fighter plane must start at full speed and always be on guard against crosswinds.

For catapult takeoff, the pilot only needs to make a good posture, and leave the rest to the deck! Moreover, the four ejection formations do not cross each other, and one can be ejected every second!

Steam filled the deck, and the operators were working nervously and orderly.

Since it is only mounted for air control and does not carry heavyweight anti-ship missiles, the Su-33 is in a state of full fuel, carrying less than two tons of weapon load into the air, and a medium-power ejection is enough!

Eighteen planes have been ejected all the time, and the speed of the aircraft carrier has only dropped to 15 knots!

At the same time, the Soviet aircraft carrier, which had come out of the Suez Canal and had arrived in the Mediterranean, also began the process of ejecting the carrier-based aircraft.

Two Yak-44 early warning aircraft also stood firm in their own airspace, monitoring the huge fleet of American carrier-based aircraft on the opposite side.

It's just, a little strange, isn't it? After the opponent took off, it wandered around in the airspace of the opponent's aircraft carrier about 200 kilometers away, and there was no sign of attack at all.

what happened? Are they burning oil to play?

Inside the Jacques-44 early warning aircraft, the noise was a bit loud, and several radar officers were still at their posts, paying attention to the situation at sea and in the air.

An early warning officer suddenly opened his eyes wide, and there is a target at a very low altitude!

Ultra-low altitude, one goal!

Through the data link, the target was quickly sent to the carrier-based aircraft formation, and the flight captain Boris Feokisto turned on the afterburner and flew towards the target!

Americans, want to sneak attack their own aircraft carrier formation? This is too presumptuous!

Boris turned on the radar, and the radar antenna with the flat plate gap completely filtered out the clutter on the sea surface under the digital processing system. Boris skillfully locked the target and was ready to launch the r-27!

Although the r-77 is already a new generation of Soviet medium-range air-to-air missiles, there are still a large number of r-27 missiles in the arsenal. Therefore, the Su-33 will also mount two missiles in air combat r-27, with r-77.

At the same time, although the performance of the r-77 is better, the r-27 is also beneficial, because once the active radar air-to-air missile enters the active mode, it will be in the mad dog mode, and it will attack its own radar seeker area any aircraft!

If one's own fighter plane is in an air battle with the opponent's fighter plane, and other fighter planes want to help their own fighter plane, they must not launch active missiles. The mad dog mode will not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. Only semi-active missiles rely on the radar of the aircraft to illuminate the target, which is more accurate. .

But now, in order to prevent the active seeker from unlocking when attacking ultra-low-altitude targets, Boris wisely chose a semi-active r-27 missile.

The Kremlin has locked on to a target aircraft. Please instruct me whether to attack or not. Boris shouted on the radio.

At this time, the target aircraft was 300 kilometers away from its own aircraft carrier formation and was flying at an ultra-low altitude. Although its heading was towards its own aircraft carrier formation, it would be quite excessive to shoot down the opponent at this distance.

However, Alexander did not hesitate at all: Fire, shoot it down!

Fire and shoot down! After getting the order, Boris immediately pressed the launch button.

Under the wing, flames flickered, and an r-27 missile flew out!

The f-18 was flying calmly over the sea. After the sound of radar locking came from the earphones, Danny did not panic. He continued to lower the altitude!

What is it like to fly at a height of five meters above the sea with a heavy Harpoon missile?

The airflow from the engine at the rear pushes the seawater,

There were two waves in the sea! Quite spectacular!

Danny has no other choice. The mobility of the F-18 is not outstanding. After the Harpoon missile is mounted, it has no ability to maneuver and dodge. Therefore, Danny can only pin his hopes on the ultra-low altitude flight to bring on the interference!

When the water splashed from the tail, sure enough, it caused some interference to the Su-33's radar! After all, this water splash also moves with it, as if the target has become bigger!

According to the attack procedure, the r-27 missile will choose the middle part of the enemy plane to attack. Now, when the target becomes larger, the r-27 originally planned to attack the middle part, but as a result, it pierced through the opponent's tail!

None of the proximity fuzes exploded! Boris looked at the echoes on the radar screen and was quite depressed. He continued to push the nose, and at this time, he had already entered the visual range!

The first attack failed. Visually observe that the opponent is an F-18 fighter plane flying at ultra-low altitude! Boris shouted on the radio: A second attack is requested!

During this period of time, the opponent is still approaching. Now, the opponent is almost 200 kilometers away from our own aircraft carrier! If this attack doesn't work, then Boris needs to leave and hand over the task of interception to the air defense missiles of the fleet behind!

Attack immediately, even if you hit it, hit me down!

Understood! Boris responded on the radio, two R-73 missiles flew out from the pylons at the tip of the wings!

two! I don't believe I can't kill you this time!

Come closer, keep coming closer! Danny is still flying smoothly. Every time he changes the course, he will lose speed. Now, he needs to get closer, and when he gets closer, he can launch the Harpoon missile!

Boom! At this moment, there was a loud noise from the rear!

The r-73 missile is aimed by infrared, so the radar has not re-locked. Even if Danny knows that a Soviet plane is approaching, he has no other choice. He flies forward with all his strength, and the explosion from the tail, Make him realize that his mission may be failing.

The first r-73 hit the tail of the target-like f-18, and an f404 engine was destroyed!

Boom! There was another explosion! This missile hit the middle of the fuselage and blasted a big hole!

Danny tried hard to push the joystick, trying to maintain a level flight, but unfortunately, his efforts failed. The f-18, like a stone, fell into the sea!

It is simply impossible to break through the air defense circle of the Soviet aircraft carrier formation with a fighter plane flying at an ultra-low altitude!

Just over the sea 200 kilometers away from the Soviet aircraft carrier formation, the f-18 fighter was shot down!
