Chapter 274: A New Battle
Kosichsky is not ashamed.
Many pilots look proud on the surface, and the landing action is very standard and done in one go, but when they get off the plane, they can't sleep all night, and it seems that landing at night has consumed all their energy.
Only an energetic guy like Nathan would see landing at night as simple as eating and. And this time it took Kosichsky two times to land, which was quite exhausting for him.
Kosiczyski waited twenty minutes until the other Tomcats had landed, and then he slowly climbed out of the cockpit and walked back slowly.
And his radar officer, sympathetically walked behind, without saying a word.
"Hey, Kosiczysky, don't be discouraged, I've been in such a situation too." Just then, a voice came from behind him, and Nathan walked over.
Not everyone can land accurately at the first time, and the landing action is still relatively standard when they come down the second time.
"Thank you, Nathan." Kosiczyski said.
Nathan patted him the back.
Nathan returned to the bridge and saw Petro Pauri, who had to wait until the last plane returned for every night mission before he could sleep comfortably, and now, his eyes were a little red.
"Nathan, how are you feeling this time?" Petro Bori asked him.
Nathan shook his head: "Of course it's very bad, no one gave the order, otherwise, I would have taken down all their Backfire bombers." ”
Of course it's not cool, just use the radar to lock the other party and scare the other party, what kind of ability is that, there is a ability, but it really knocked down their backfire bomber.
After a busy night, there was no result in the end, but Nathan's characteristic is that he will definitely not waste his efforts, as long as he goes up, he has to fire no matter what.
"Go back and rest, maybe there will be a mission tomorrow morning." Petro Bori said.
It was already early in the morning, and it was supposed that there wouldn't be much to do now, so Petro Bori told Nathan to go back to rest in case something happened in the early morning.
"Okay." Nathan went back.
In the second half of the night, the aircraft carrier also fell silent, and only two hours later, the new E-2 AWACS aircraft was ejected, and at the same time, the E-2, which had been cruising in the sky for six hours, also returned.
Limited by the airframe, the E-2 has a cruising time of only six hours, so it is necessary to have four E-2s to meet the non-stop patrol mission, and now it is a wartime, and it is necessary to ensure non-stop patrols, who knows if the Soviets will kill the horses?
It's just that the Tomcat fighters who are attacking are too tired, and now it's night again, and the E-2 is circling around the head of the fleet, and at the same time, there are two A-7s with missiles on them, and it is enough to escort it.
The entire fleet continued to sail in the Pacific Ocean in the southeastern part of the island nation, a distance of five or six hundred kilometers from Hokkaido.
This is night, and there is no task, it is far away from the target, so as not to be attacked by a sneak attack, and at this time, the aircraft carrier formation is now in a defensive position.
Over Honshu, the E-3 AWACS aircraft finally got tired after patrolling for more than 20 hours, and as a long-range aircraft, its endurance was quite outstanding, but the members of the aircraft were physically limited.
Even if there is a rotating unit, it will not work if it stays like this, and it will be dragged down.
If there are two E-3s, they will be able to alternate early warnings, but now, the E-3 AWACS aircraft here is the only one, after all, the US Air Force does not have a few such valuable strategic AWACS aircraft in total, most of them are in Europe.
Therefore, the E-3 AWACS began to return after calling to the Yokota base, and it needed to rest, and in this gap, it could only be filled by the EC-121 AWACS aircraft.
The EC-121 family of electronic warfare and AWACS aircraft was developed from the C-121 transport aircraft. There are many models, such as EC-121D and K-type, which are mainly used for early warning and training use, EC-121M for early warning, EC-121P is an anti-submarine detection platform, EC-121Q early warning and control platform, and so on.
Among them, EC-121C is the first EC-121 series early warning aircraft of the United States Air Force, which was put into use in October 1953, with a 2.44-meter-long radar cover on the back of the fuselage, and AN/APS-20 search radar inside, which can provide early warning information within a range of 400 kilometers.
Compared with other early warning aircraft, its radar is not a big plate, just like a big brick erected, on the back of the fuselage, the radar installed in this big brick, because the performance is not advanced enough, can not filter complex ground clutter, so, its take-off, is only a supplement.
After tossing for so long, do the Soviets still have energy? By tomorrow, if the Soviets do not compromise, then the whole world will see the tragic end of the Soviets, and the wreckage on those airports should be shown to the whole world, so that the whole world will know that the Soviets took the initiative to provoke the war, and as a result, they lost the war in a funny way!
After taking off, the EC-121 AWACS aircraft continued to fly to the north, and if it was a valuable E-3 AWACS aircraft, it did not dare to fly too far north, in case it was killed by the opponent's MiG-25, and it could not afford to lose.
But the EC-121 is different, this AWACS aircraft is armed with several dozen units in the United States and can fully withstand losses.
Moreover, because of its limited performance, if you fly over the island of Honshu, you will not be able to effectively cover the airspace here.
Unbeknownst to it, just as it was rushing to Hokkaido, a sudden big battle had broken out unexpectedly.
Kunashir Island.
During the day, most of the ships could not land effectively, and the Americans were quite merciful when they intercepted them, and they only intercepted the helicopter gunships that were about to fly over Hokkaido, and did not do anything about these ships sailing in international waters.
So, most of the ships were still intact, and they returned to the waters of Kunashir Island, waiting quietly.
Did the Soviets lose? Of course not! Their battle will continue!
Since the Soviets are going to land in Hokkaido, they must step on it!
On the surface of the sea, one ship after another is sailing towards their goal, and in front of them are rubber boats, the tail of these rubber boats bursting with water, as if to send them to death.
Yes, it's almost the same as sending people to death, in the process of rushing to the beach, if you directly drive a rubber boat to rush over, you will definitely be beaten back by the firepower of other people's shore defenses.
However, they are not afraid, because the sea area they are going to is simply not defensive.
Their goal is the Shiretoko Peninsula.
