The ground crew is very familiar with the Mozu, after all, the A-7 attack aircraft can be equipped, but it is the first time that it is mounted on the Tomcat.

Fortunately, the weapon interfaces are universal, how the sparrow hangs, how the hundred-tongued bird hangs.

When the loading was completed, the aircraft carrier had regained its speed.

One after another, the Tomcat fighters were lifted up from the hangar, and the attack began again.

Although some people couldn't sleep in the middle of the night last night, and even in the second half of the night, they had an unshirkable duty to fight.

Lieutenant Kosichsky was sitting in his tomcat, and he looked to the side, Nathan's fighter, right on his side.

American aircraft carriers have four catapults.

There are two in the bow and two on the beveled deck, and when attacking at full speed, these four catapults can be ejected together, and the sortie efficiency is several grades higher than that of the Liaoning on the bow and flying deck.

Now it was like this, when Kosiczyski saw Nathan's fighter plane on the side, Nathan reached out from the cockpit and waved at him.

Come on! He could read Nathan's gestures.

Several sorties, but no results, this sortie, there must be something to gain!

Kosiczysky thought to himself.

At this moment, the signal of take-off had already come from the headset, and after making a skillful move, the two Tomcat fighters, with an interval of two seconds, bounced out of the two catapults one after another, and a blazing flame came out of the tail, and the Tomcat fighter accelerated to climb.

The replacement TF41 is not particularly outstanding, and the thrust does not increase much compared to the original, but its reliability is much better, because the TF41 engine does not surge.

As Nathan's wingman, Kosiczyski quickly followed.

Then, as one after another planes catapulted into the air, they formed a wall in the sky, a standard air combat tactic that maximized their firepower.

From the waters in the southeast of the island nation, they flew quickly to the north, and when they were still 300 kilometers away from the Nemuro Strait, they had already flown over the formation of A-7 attack aircraft.

"Hawkeye, Hawkeye, I'm a lone ranger, please indicate the enemy target." Nathan shouted over the radio.

"The airspace over the Nemuro Strait is clean, and no targets have been found." The Hawkeye AWACS aircraft responded.

The Soviets, they didn't even send fighters? This made Nathan very strange, could it be that they really didn't have confidence in their own aviation power?

The second-generation aircraft of the Soviets did not have any advantage at all in front of American-made fighters, and the MiG-25 was easily hunted by Tomcats.

Wouldn't that give up air supremacy?

Of course not, the Soviets must also know the importance of air supremacy, and now, the Soviets have not moved, they must be planning to change their way of playing!

"Gus, pay attention to the ground situation, pay attention to the radar warning receiver signal." Nathan shouted at his radar officer.

Ground? Gus was still puzzled.

Nathan had a bad premonition.

They are used to seize air supremacy, and the Tomcat's current AG-9 radar does not have a synthetic aperture mode to the ground, so it is impossible to map the ground, so it is not clear to distinguish the threat from the ground.

What can the ground threaten?

Just look at the map.

The western end of the Nemuro Strait is a long and narrow strait that stretches from Cape Shiretoko in Shari Town, Shari County in the north, Cape Nashabu in Nemuro City, Hokkaido in the south, and Kunashir Island and Hamai Islands in the east.

The northern end of the Shiretoko Peninsula is about 70 kilometers wide from Cape Shiretoko and the northern tip of Kunashir Island, the southernmost cape between Cape Nagauze and Kunashir Island at the South Exit is about 35 kilometers wide, and the narrowest part of the Chubu Strait is only 16 kilometers. The water depth of the south mouth of the strait is 20-30 meters, the middle part is 5-10 meters, and the middle of the north mouth is more than 2,000 meters. The central part is only accessible to small boats.

At the same time, on the side of Rausu Port, the ground anti-aircraft firepower of the Soviets may be prepared, and at the same time, there may be ground-to-air missiles of the Soviets on the opposite side of Kunashir Island.

The Soviets were thinking of the Continental Army, and in their eyes, the Army was omnipotent, and now, now that the Army has landed, perhaps they feel that the Air Force and Air Defense Force are of little use.

Anyway, the Nemuro Strait is already very narrow, so they simply took over the air defense task of the Nemuro Strait, so that they don't have to identify friend or foe, as long as they enter their air defense circle, then they will fire directly!

In this case, it is dangerous to fly into the sky rashly, but they have no choice, this is war, even if they know that there is danger ahead, then they have to go.

Before the opponent's radar is turned on, its own electronic warfare aircraft will not be able to detect it.

Nathan was ready, and he was on the radio, shouting to his men: "Attention, after entering the Nemuro Strait, be on guard for anti-aircraft fire on the ground!" ”

Nathan foresaw the dangers of today.

Nathan's hunch was correct.

Kunashir Island, in Russian, is called Kunashir Island, which is a long island.

This island is located in the northeastern part of Hokkaido in the Pacific Ocean. It is connected to Hokkaido by the Nemuro Strait in the southwest, and by the Kokugo Strait in the northeast. It is northeast-southwest, 123 kilometers long, 5 to 26 kilometers wide, and covers an area of 1498.56 square kilometers, slightly larger than Okinawa.

The whole island has a steep terrain, a total of 4 active volcanoes, Mt. Grandpa is 1822 meters above sea level, the highest peak of the island, many primeval forests, and Shikotan Island has excellent fishing grounds, the east coast of the ancient Kabu is a natural ice-free port, and the southwest end has an excellent port Kurilsk Port.

When the Soviets' landing fleet was forced to abandon Kushiro, it temporarily docked at Kulirsk, and last night's departure also began from Kulilsk.

And now, in the north of Kulirsk, on the top of a hill, a radar, is taking its pose.

Field radar, can you still go up to the top of this mountain? Indeed, because it uses a tracked chassis, last night it rushed to the top of the mountain, spread out on the top of the mountain, and silently waited for the opportunity.

Next to it, there are vehicles of the same tracked chassis, which have been unfolded and arranged vertically upwards in the open space behind the tracked chassis.

These missiles are packed in four large barrels, all of which are facing the sky, opening their mouths and baring their fangs.

No one knows what kind of missile it is, and no anti-radiation missile will be able to harm it, because its frequency is unknown.

This is the newest missile system of the Soviets, the S-300 system.
