ps. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the starting point 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!
Historically, the statement about the air battle on Sakhalin Island is very mysterious, and some claims have conclusive evidence, saying that the United States and the Soviet Union broke out fierce battles over Sakhalin, the Americans used F-15, while the Soviet Union had MiG-23 and Su-15, and both sides lost more than a dozen fighters, and some scholars said that the Soviet Union even used the MiG-29, and after the battle was over, it was found that it was insufficient, and it was taken back to be rebuilt. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info MiG-31 also participated in the war.
In short, there are many opinions, foaming stars, and some researchers point out that these are actually false, and all the claims are from a 1995 book called "incidentatsakhalin-thetruemissionofkalflight007". The author, Michelbrun, is an island native. In other words, these are all imaginary wars, which have never happened at all.
What the original history was, no one will ever find out, with Andrei's crossing, history has changed a lot, and now it is only 77 years, and the Sakhalin air crash has already happened.
In the face of this plane crash, the attitude of the United States is quite resolute.
"The evil Soviets dared to launch missiles at unarmed civil airliners, this is a violation of the international order! This is a serious violation of international norms! The passengers on the entire passenger plane have done innocent souls, and the Soviet Union must admit its mistakes, apologize to the families of the victims, and make compensation! ”
And behind the press spokesman. It was the family of the victim, crying and crying about how good her family was, but she was killed when she went home, and the evil Soviets did not even let go of civil airliners!
And the families of the victims are not only ordinary people. And the personnel of the US government department, because this time, Edward John, a member of the US House of Representatives, was also killed along with the airliner!
This is simply a slap in the face of the Americans! Since the founding of the United States, the slogan of propaganda has been to protect every American citizen! And now, the United States can't even protect its own parliamentarians!
Retaliation, the United States must retaliate! The United States wants to show its strength and defend world peace!
Demonstrations were held all over the United States, expressing indignation at the Soviets for shooting down a Korean airliner and injuring innocent civilians. At the same time, the huge military power of the United States has also begun to be dispatched!
The Misawa base, an important U.S. aviation base in the island nation, is in a tense and busy state at this time.
The Soviets shot down a civilian airliner, which led to the death of more than 200 people, including a US congressman, which is a blood debt! Right now. The United States needs to retaliate!
On the runway of the base, the 35th Flying Squadron of the 14th Fighter Wing. Final preparations are underway before takeoff.
The fighters on the runway, shining silver, are completely different from the previous F-4 fighters in appearance.
The bubble-shaped cockpit, where the upper half of the pilot's body can be seen, is exposed to the outside, which gives the pilot a great view. You can see almost the whole situation in the upper hemisphere, the full nose, the rectangular air intakes on both sides, is much smaller than that of the MiG-25, and at the same time means that the air resistance will be much less. The rear fuselage twists downward, with sharpened ****** airfoil-shaped main wings and twin tails standing on two engines close together.
This fighter is the most advanced F-15 Eagle fighter of the US Air Force!
The successful equipping of this fighter is inseparable from the efforts of the fighter mafia, and a research team organized by Air Force Major General Arthur C. Forrest Gump was composed of pilots who had graduated from fighter schools before the 50s, and their research direction was the development of future Air Force fighters. Among these people are Charles Myers, a former test pilot, a personal adviser; Major John Boyd, a former tactical instructor, was familiar with the tactics of air combat and created the "Theory of Energy Maneuvering", which had a profound influence on the development of fighters of the third generation and beyond; Colonel Evanster Rezioni, a consistent supporter of the "air superiority fighter" in the Air Force; The organizer, Major General Arthur C. Forrest Gump, director of planning in the Air Force Staff, is a veteran pilot who fought in World War II. They presented their design concept to the Air Force Command: the fighter does not take on the task of interception, does not carry out bombing, and the only task is to fight the enemy aircraft in the air and seize absolute air supremacy! Such fighters must have a good field of vision, superior maneuverability, reliable close-range weapons, and requirements for over-the-horizon air combat.
The fighter mafia stopped the backward F-X program of the US Air Force, which eventually developed into the fighter in front of them.
Every pound of weight goes into air combat! This is all a maneuverable and nimble fighter to seize air superiority!
And the appearance of this fighter is also related to the MiG-25, which shocked the Americans, and the Americans had to develop a purely air-superiority fighter to counter the MiG-25.
From the plan put forward in 62, to the first flight in 72, and then to equip the troops in 74, the development speed of this fighter is also very fast, and later generations have proved that this is a very successful fighter, and later generations have been in service as the main force of the US military until the 21st century, and have entered the air force sequence of many countries.
Originally, after this fighter was put into service in 74 years, it was first equipped with the air force of the continental United States to practice various tactics of this new fighter. Recently, however, the situation in the Far East has been extremely complicated, and the Navy has mobilized Tomcat fighters, and the Air Force is naturally not far behind, mobilizing such the most advanced fighters.
The 35th Flying Team of the 14th Fighter Wing, which was transferred from the United States half a month ago, will join the Misawa base and take on the heavy task of fighting the Soviet Union.
Historically, this flight team originally flew F-4, and then changed to F-16, but the threat of MiG-25 in the Far East made the United States replace this flight team with F-15 fighters in advance and send them to the Far East.
And now, it's their turn!
The two F100 high-thrust turbofan engines in the tail emitted blazing flames, and as an air superiority fighter, the biggest feature is the thrust-to-weight ratio!
The empty weight of the F-15 is only 12.7 tons, which is lower than the 13.7 tons of the F-4 fighter, and the two engines of the F-15 have a maximum afterburner thrust of up to 110 kN! Even if it is fully fueled and full of ammunition, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the whole machine is much higher than 1, which means that this fighter can climb vertically upwards without losing speed!
At the same time, the climb rate is as high as more than 300 meters per second, and at the right altitude, it can even reach 360 meters per second, which is simply invincible! You must know that the climb rate of the second-generation aircraft is almost more than 200 meters per second.
This fighter is simply born for air combat!
Sitting in the bubble cockpit, Nathaniel Christopher, the captain of the 14th flight team of the US Air Force, took a deep breath, watched the horizon on both sides accelerate backwards, and gently pulled up the operating stick.
At this time, the F-15 was also hydraulically operated, but it was quite lightweight, and the rudder surface was responsive.
[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! (To be continued.) )
