The first thousand seven hundred and eighty-three chapters attack interception
With the roar from the tail, Ted pushed the throttle rod to the maximum, and the flame at the tail turned orange and red. When the brake was released, the fighter quickly slid on the already frozen runway. The flame at the tail melted the ice layer, revealing the snow-white special concrete below.
The two Storm Bird fighter jets quickly pulled up. After taking off the formation, they turned southwest while climbing, and rushed towards the target while guiding the ground radar.
Ted was in a calm mood.
Generally speaking, soldiers who experienced the battle for the first time would feel inexplicably excited, but Ted was not. He was very calm inside, just like in previous flight trainings.
In contrast, Carl, the pilot in front of him, was a little excited. He came, and finally came. He didn't fight enough in the last air battle. This time, he could finally fight happily!
Kill their reconnaissance planes, shoot three guns at once, and hit them at once. This is the target set by Carl for himself.
In the past, Carl was Novotney's wingman. Almost often, he flew behind Novotney's butt to protect his back half of the ball, and rarely had the chance to fire. Now it's different. He has been promoted to a long-range plane.
There must be a result this time!
The two planes climbed to a cruise height of 14,000 meters, began their normal cruise state, and rushed towards the target.
They flew away from Greenland and to the south of the Davis Strait, which was the northwest corner of the Atlantic Ocean.
Below is the blue sea, two silver-white fighter jets are flying lightly, getting closer and closer to the target.
At this time, Ted looked at the sky in the distance with his sharp eyes, hoping to find the target from the clear sky.
In theory, in the clear sky, he should be able to see the planes in the airspace thirty kilometers away.
At this time, in the radar station behind, the radar soldiers were also staring at the screen tightly, and they didn't dare to blink. On the screen, the highlight suddenly began to turn around.
"Note, pay attention, the target is starting to flee, the target is fleeing southwest." Novotney's words came from the radio: "Catch up and kill it!"
No aircraft can escape the interception of jets. The fastest propeller plane can fly to 700 kilometers per hour, which is already amazing, but jets can easily fly to 1,000 kilometers per hour.
As long as you want it, the other party will never be able to escape!
"Note, you are about to fly out of the radar monitoring area, be careful." At this moment, Novotney's voice continued to come.
The ground warning radar has a search distance of about 300 kilometers, so it is easy for them to fly out of this range. After all, with the speed and range of jets, the surrounding area is about 500 kilometers.
There is not much danger in this. Radar is a new thing. There was no radar before, so there was no need to take off and fight?
The radar is just an auxiliary, which is what everyone thinks.
"Received." Carl shouted in the radio: "We will definitely catch up!"
At this time, Carl could already see a clear highlight in the distant sky, which was the fleeing enemy plane!
Still want to run?
"Gumb, keep up." Carl shouted to his wingman in the radio.
Ted could only smile at this radio nickname. During the flight training these days, the so-called flying old birds discovered that no matter what action they did, Ted could keep up with it. Just like a gummy, sticking to the back, so they gave Ted a gummy nickname.
Ted doesn't like it, nor does he resist it. What it means is secondary, as long as he can fight.
Ted has also seen the highlights in the distance. For some reason, when he sees this highlight, he always feels a strange feeling, it seems something is wrong!
The opponent's speed was not fast, only about 400 kilometers per hour, and the jet flying around 1,000 kilometers per hour was as slow as a snail.
Soon, the goal gradually became clear, and what appeared in front of him was no longer a highlight, but had already had a contour. Suddenly, Ted shouted in the radio: "They are not one plane, they are four!"
The resolution of the radar is not high. When flying in a dense formation, a highlight will appear on the radar. Even in later generations, this is the most common tactic.
I felt that the other party was one, and I was dispatching two, which should be more than enough. As a result, when I arrived in front of me, it turned into four, and the advantage turned into disadvantages.
It's like a luxury car, shaving with Wuling van, two bodyguards got out of the luxury car, trying to regain their face, but more than 20 people got out of the Wuling van. This scene is so spectacular no matter how you look at it.
Although Carl was not afraid when he saw that the opponent had four, he was even more excited. What was he afraid of? The more he had the more achievements he had!
"It is visually estimated to be the P-51 Mustang, the main American fighter jet." Ted continued to shout in the radio.
When it was seen as a Mustang, Carl was even less afraid. This kind of aircraft was nothing, not as good as the U.S. Navy's inverted seagull. At least the inverted seagull climbed very rapidly, and this kind of aircraft had no performance. Even the climbing f190 could not compare with the jet.
At this moment, the four target Mustang fighters suddenly separated and turned into two groups, and then began to dive down.
"Gummy, we each deal with two!" Carl shouted in the radio.
Now they only have two fighter jets, and the other party clearly discovered them and wanted to escape separately. If they were still in formation of commanders and wingmen, they would definitely let go of two. Carl was unwilling to accept it.
At the same time, it is also a chance for Ted. Generally speaking, wingmen rarely have direct opportunities to fight. Now they throw two of them at once, so that Ted can win the first time. Carl is very satisfied with his wingman.
When Ted heard that he wanted to deal with it separately, he was stunned for a moment. The wingman was flying in formation. This was what the captain emphasized every day. Now Carl actually said that he wanted to be separated?
However, in the air, the wingman must obey the command of the aircraft. In the current situation, it seems that separation is the most suitable.
So Ted no longer hesitated and swooped down.
Carl went left and Ted went right, and they swooped down toward two twin-air formations.
Chapter completed!
