With the gradual escalation of the incident, since the 50s, the largest confrontation between the US and Soviet air forces began to take place.

After receiving the electromagnetic interference signal, the air force of the Far East region of the Red Empire finally launched a counterattack.

If you want to gain the upper hand in electromagnetic confrontation, one way is to use the same airborne early warning aircraft as the opponent and have the same airborne early warning advantage as the opponent, and the other way is to eliminate the opponent's advantage, although the Soviet Union China's electronic technology is not as advanced as that of the United States, but in how to carry out electronic countermeasures, Soviet engineers have exhausted methods, one of which is to attack the opponent's strong electromagnetic source!

The United States is the most proficient at attacking the opponent's radar. The Mozu missile has achieved the prestige of the United States' anti-radiation missile. However, the Red Empire on the other side of the ocean has been conducting research in this area, and, Even more advanced than the United States are air-launched anti-radiation missiles.

At this time, the MiG-29 had just been equipped with troops for half a year. Although most of them were equipped on the western front to fight against European fighters, a squadron was also equipped in the Far East.

Moreover, with the service of the MiG-29, the new generation of R-27 air-to-air missiles has also been equipped to the Air Force. This famous air-to-air missile has begun to show its power in the sky. In addition to the main infrared-guided R-40T and radar-guided R-27R, there is also a model that has not been declassified in later generations: the R-27P anti-radiation missile, which is specifically aimed at American pre-war aircraft and electronic warfare aircraft An optimized passive radar seeker, a weapon against American electronic superiority.

Now, under the electromagnetic interference, the tough General Tretchiyanko immediately issued an order, and the powerful military power of the Soviet Union was used!

In the Far East Military Region, two Tu-126 early warning planes were equipped, and after receiving the order from the commander of the military region, one of the early warning planes started an emergency takeoff.

The Tu-126 early warning aircraft is an air early warning command aircraft developed by the Tupolev Design Bureau of the Soviet Union on the basis of the Tu-114 transport aircraft.It is the first generation of early Soviet air early warning and control aircraft, which can be used as an air guidance command station for interceptors or ground attack aircraft.Its development work began in the early 50s, and it began to be modified in 1960. It flew for the first time in 1962 and joined the former Soviet Union's Homeland Defense Air Force in 1965.

The range of the Tu-126 radar is about 370 kilometers. It adopts the delay line fixed target cancellation technology. It has the ability to look down at sea and limited to look down on land. It can be used as an air guidance and command station for interceptors or ground attack aircraft. 80 targets, command 18 fighters to fight.

The new A-50 is undergoing final tests and has not yet entered active service. The Tu-126 is still the main early warning aircraft of the Soviet Air Force.

NATO has an ugly name for this kind of warning machine: moss.

With a mushroom plate on top, four HK-12MB turboprop engines of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau were spinning rapidly, and the Tu-126 pre-warning aircraft flew into the sky.

After hearing the noise from the earphones, Asipovich knew that it was electromagnetic interference. If he had fantasies about the plane in front of him just now, he is almost sure that the plane in front must be the American plane!

Confirm the target first!Asipovich moved the throttle lever forward softly. The afterburner had been burning for 5 minutes just now, which was already considered the limit. His speed had dropped again. Now, he continued to accelerate forward steadily and gradually approached the That big three-engine plane.

In the dark night sky, only the flames of the front engine were so clear.

Get closer, get closer, still don't see the navigation lights, it's definitely not a civil aviation plane!

If it is a lost airliner, then no matter how the navigation equipment fails, the navigation lights should be turned on in the dark night.

If the navigation light is not turned on, there must be a problem, not to mention that it is still suffering from strong electromagnetic interference.

Fire shells to deter him!Before being disturbed, Asipovich had received orders from his superiors, and if necessary, he could use machine guns to deter the opponent.

Under the belly of the Su-15, there is a 23mm double-barreled cannon with 200 rounds of ammunition.

Asipovich adjusted the weapon to the cannon state. From the visual point of view, the opponent's plane was less than 1000 meters away from his own side.

Intruders, this is what you deserve!Asipovich raised the nose slightly, allowing the shells of the 23mm machine gun to pass over the opponent's plane. In the dark night, the light band drawn by the machine gun will deal a great blow to the opponent. For large aircraft, the maneuverability is poor, even a simple cannon can bring great damage to the opponent.

However, after pressing the button on the operating lever, Asipovich couldn't help but want to scold the hateful ground crew. According to the routine, an all-weather fighter like him should be equipped with shells according to the middle of the three armor-piercing shells. Adding a tracer round makes it easier to show the ballistic trajectory in the dark, but now, all of them are armor-piercing rounds. In this way, except for the bright light under the belly of the machine gun when the shells are fired, the ones that go out are basically in the dark. There is nothing in the sky.

In the pressurized cabin of a large aircraft, it is probably impossible to hear the sound of the rear cannon firing.

Then, this kind of deterrence will not be called deterrence, because the other party does not know.

Asipovich didn't know, but the other party already knew.

According to the news from the early warning plane, there are two planes of the Soviet Air Force in the rear, and they have already flown to a distance of less than 1000 meters from them. However, for some reason, the other party did not launch a missile. It carried radar-guided air-to-air missiles, and the current EF-111 electronic jammer successfully suppressed them.

Therefore, although they were bitten on the tail by the eagle, as long as they continued to fly and left the airspace of Sakhalin Island, the mission would be considered a successful completion.

But then, the E-3 early warning plane discovered that the other party took off two more planes, and they had already arrived over the northern part of Sakhalin Island. One of them was emitting a strong signal source, which was a Soviet early warning plane.

Chapter 5 Shooting Down EF-111

During the Cold War, although incidents of sidelines and misfires often occurred, this is an extremely dangerous situation, and it will trigger confrontation between the two extremes at any time. However, the top leaders of the two superpowers are very restrained , try not to fall into direct military confrontation.

But this time, it is an exception.

Both sides have launched early warning planes, and the US side has a few soft-kill electronic warfare planes besides the passenger plane, while the Soviet side, except for the early warning plane, the rest are genuine fighter jets , can attack them at any time. However, due to the advantages of the United States in electronic warfare, the current Soviet fighters have been strongly interfered, especially the backward Su-15, which cannot use the airborne radar to lock the target, nor can it communicate with the communicate behind.

However, the MiG-29 that took off later, as the latest Soviet fighter, carried Soviet air-to-air missiles specially used for anti-electronic jammers and early warning aircraft. The modified one, like the prototype, only has a range of forty kilometers.

Asipovich adjusted the radio to several spare frequencies, but it still didn't improve. The strong electromagnetic interference still exists. Now, he has lost contact with the rear, and there is also a lot of interference in the conversation with the wingman behind. Barely able to make contact.

Now, having lost contact, all they can rely on is their own judgment.

Do you want to launch a missile?Asipovich hesitated in his heart. Now, although radar-guided missiles are no longer available, he still has two infrared-guided AA-3 Aphid missiles mounted on his wings. The guided missiles can target the tails of the three engines for a locking attack. The burning flames there are the best eyesight of the infrared seeker. As long as they lock on, they will never escape.

what to do?Asipovich knew that launching the missile by himself was just a matter of pressing a button, but after launching the missile, the consequences that followed were absolutely unacceptable to him. If he launched the missile privately, then the resulting A series of questions must be put on his head. Without the order of the commander of the military region, he can take various threats, but he must not launch missiles.

Give the Americans some color first!Although firing shells didn't work, he still had other means.

The sweat on Chen Bingyong's forehead was already coming out. He knew that the Soviet plane was right behind his buttocks, following them closely. Is electronic interference useful?You must know that among the Soviet pilots, there are many lunatics. If they receive orders, they will knock themselves down even if they are hit by a plane.

Now, the two planes behind have not moved yet, but maybe, the next moment will be earth-shattering.

The huge Boeing 747 airliner, no matter how it flies, is no match for a small fighter jet, not to mention that one of the engines of the current airliner has stopped working.

The only thing they can do is to do their best to leave the sky above Sakhalin Island and enter the airspace of Hokkaido.

The electronic engineers behind have also stopped working. They were sent here to carry out this dangerous task, and they were mentally prepared in advance.However, now that I know that there are Soviet planes chasing after me, I am still very nervous.

Under the interference of the EF-111 electronic jammer, the two Su-15 fighter jets of the Soviet Union could not attack without the order of their superiors. In this way, they have been flying with the Boeing 747 in the dark sky. In the past, airliners would have been flying out of Sakhalin Island. In this case, this interception operation would end in failure.

The two pilots of the Soviet Union wanted to launch missiles several times, but they held back.

However, this situation is gradually changing. The MiG-29 taking off from the rear, under the command of the Tu-126 pre-warning aircraft, through the ARCl58 UHF data link, is constantly receiving the opponent's azimuth, sending the opponent's electronic information to the opponent at ultra-low altitude. The jammer flies away.

Although the plane was spotted by the E-3 early warning plane after takeoff, the radar operator of the early warning plane was not too vigilant, because after the plane took off, it was not flying in the direction of Boeing. Regarding the direction of the 747 airliner, he just thought that the Soviet air defense command system had failed due to the electronic jammer, and they flew in the wrong direction in the dark sky.

It wasn't until the plane flew over the Krillion Peninsula and was still flying towards the Soya Strait that the anti-warplane finally found out that the situation was not good. Our own electronic jammers are flying in!

The radar operator of the early warning plane immediately sent an emergency warning to his own jammer. At this time, the distance between the two sides was already close to [-] kilometers.

Piloting the MiG-29 is the Soviet Union's meritorious pilot, Lieutenant Colonel Kutuzov.

Under his wings, two special missiles are mounted. From the appearance, the four large inverted trapezoidal wings in the middle of the body constitute the main control surface. 4-piece fixed double-triangle rear spoiler.This is an air-to-air missile newly in service in the Soviet Union. However, the missile he mounts today has a different seeker. This is the nemesis for electronic warfare!Inside the seeker is a passive guidance device specially used to attack electronic jammers that emit electromagnetic signals!

Yankee, let you taste the power of the Soviet Union!Lieutenant Colonel Kutuzov pressed the launch button.

Under the wings of the MiG-29, there were two tongues of flame, which were a little dazzling in the dark sky. Two missiles, one in front and one behind, flew off the pylons and flew towards the two EF-111 electronic jammers on the opposite side of the strait.

On the radar screen of the early warning machine, two small light spots appeared, and the radar operator knew that the other party had launched a missile!

In a strong electromagnetic interference environment, how could the opponent launch missiles!Now, the distance between the two sides is nearly forty kilometers!It can only be a radar-guided air-to-air missile!

The radar operator of the early warning machine called urgently: "Attention, the opponent has launched a missile, and the opponent has launched a missile, immediately turn away and increase the power of electromagnetic interference."

He just thought that the opponent's fighter plane was a new type of aircraft. It is said that the Soviet MiG-29 has already been equipped with troops. The radar of this new type of fighter plane may have some advanced technology, and it has not been suppressed by electronic jammers.

Hearing the call, the pilots of the two EF-111 electronic jammers that were releasing electromagnetic interference immediately operated the plane and turned to fly to the airspace in southern Hokkaido. He turned on the afterburner, adjusted the wing sweep angle to the maximum, and roared EF-111, made a quick sprint.
