The god of fate who is in charge of a qiē seems to be very favored by Long Yun today.

Shortly after taking off to the south, the mobile long-range warning radar deployed near the national border played a role, and while the command center guided the large formation of the 237th Regiment to meet the enemy in the southwest direction, it also transmitted navigation and engagement instructions to Long Yun's Red No. 17 Su-27S, confirming the enemy targets flying outside the Armenian national border.

Judging from the altitude and cruising mode, Long Yun and the command center basically agreed that it should be a NATO air superiority fighter to prevent a sneak attack by the Soviet Air Force, and it is likely to come from their old rival, the Eighth Air Wing of the US Air Force.

These conceited Yankees are meeting again today!

Following the instructions of the ground guide, Long Yun observed the battlefield situation and was keenly aware that his opportunity had finally arrived.

According to the navigation information sent by the command center, Long Yun maintained an altitude of 7,000 meters and a speed of 0.85 Mach and flew steadily southward, and after about 20 minutes, he was already approaching the cruising US fighter formation.

Swaggering cruising at an altitude of seven thousand meters, Long Yun did not shy away from letting NATO's E-3A early warning aircraft find himself this time, of course, it is best not to notice that he is only a lone one; Since he is eager to fight, he doesn't have the heart to go through the trouble of chasing these eyesore for a long distance now, so it's better to let the enemy find out first and then come up and send them to death.

After several days of fierce fighting, there were not many fighters in the Caucasian sky at this time, which can be said to be rare since the start of the war; Shortly after Long Yun took off, the E-3A, which was monitoring the airspace over the eastern Caucasus of the Soviet Union, spotted Long Yun, but was unsure of the incoming aircraft in that direction and its intentions.

Unsure whether this was a Russian cruise fighter or a supersonic bomber attacking from a high altitude and waiting for an opportunity to attack, the operator of the control station sent interception instructions to the cruising F-15C formation through the guò command center after intercepting the target information.

Since Long Yun was on the interception line of the formation, the four F-15Cs patrolling on the side of the Armenian border slightly changed their course, forming a posture of sailing head-to-head with Long Yun, while turning on the afterburner and attacking at high speed.

Ignorant of this happening, Long Yun, who had maintained a predetermined state of engagement, only discovered the radar echo of the incoming F-15C on the airborne radar about four minutes later.

I don't know if the enemy is overconfident this time, or if he doesn't know his piloting model, the N001 radar system was not subjected to strong electronic interference this time, Long Yun switched from the fast scanning mode to the tracking mode, and soon learned from the display screen that the oncoming F-15C formation was probably less than eighty kilometers away from him.

The encounter officially began, and Long Yun continued to fly forward quite patiently; He had already identified the number of enemy aircraft from the radar, and he had also seen that they had begun to disperse, and two of the targets quickly disappeared from the radar screen!

Long Yun was not surprised that he knew all about these tricks; He knew that since the opponent had a numerical advantage, at this time he was either dividing his forces to engage the enemy, or trying to form a cross-interception posture against him. Thinking of this, Long Yun still adjusted the radar scanning mode, continued to intercept the two-plane formation flying head-on in front of him, and at the same time approached the enemy with a simple straight course, and then methodically set up the missile launch.

In this way, when the Red No. 17 Su-27S had just flown 45 kilometers away from the enemy plane's head-on and entered the firing distance of the over-the-horizon missile, he decisively launched two R-27R: With the press of the button, thin white smoke rose from under the wings, and two long milky white R-27R missiles flew out one after another, and Long Yun fired the first shot before the opponent this time.

It's good to fire first, but what will be the effect of this batch of attacks?

At this very moment, in the cockpit of the American fighter plane, which was engaged in the enemy's confrontation, Major Johnson, the pilot of the long plane, who was in charge of the formation, was staring at the radar display screen with both eyes, and he was thinking about what was the model of this lone Russian enemy plane, and what were his intentions?

He had carried out many combat missions in the Caucasus before, but he had never encountered a Russian fighter attacking alone, and this time it was indeed a bit unusual!

Of course, this is also likely to be a decoy: although the command center has informed them that no other flying objects have been found in the nearby airspace, but considering that Russian pilots have always been known for their cunning, who knows if there will be Russian fighters hiding somewhere in this clear and clear sky?

Out of an abundance of caution, he had just ordered the formation to split into two groups of twin planes, one of which turned sideways and flew off the course in order to form a scissors cross-contact with the Russians; At this time, they must not only watch out for a possible sneak attack, but also not let go of the target in front of them.

But...... In his personal opinion, he thinks that this lonely guy is just a rookie.

Only rookies can act, right?

If not, then why did he fly alone near the battle line without any backup nearby?

Judging from Johnson's combat experience, the Russians' air combat mode in the Caucasus has always been to attack in large formations, rush up with full afterburner and fire a missile salvo, then disengage at high speed, and then turn around to continue the missile salvo -- this tactic can be said to be quite dull, but it is also a headache, and they are using their numerical superiority to make up for the inferior performance of these stupid and stupid fighters such as "whippers" and "thin-mouthed bottles"!

Now, suddenly, such a target has been found on the radar, and it is estimated that the lone Russian, his long plane or wingman has some malfunction - if this is not the case, how can this only one fighter plane?

While he guessed to himself, Lieutenant Colonel Johnson maintained a dense two-plane formation while continuing to observe the oddly paced opponent on radar: he found that the Russian was flying a little evenly, and then the Soviet rigid and dogmatic over-the-horizon attack. Judging from the radar echo, the Russians launched two missiles at a distance of about 45 kilometers, this attack distance is a bit far, not like the style of the "whipper", is it a "fulcrum"?

But according to intelligence, in the southeastern direction of the Caucasus, the Russians did not equip the front-line fighter regiments of the "fulcrum".

And judging from the radar display, the echo of the target is now so obvious, Johnson quite correctly estimated that these eight achievements are the old rival "flanker" of his team.

Yes, this Major Johnson is not stupid, he did not guess the wrong model, but he guessed the wrong opponent!

As for what happened to him next, I'm afraid it would never have been imagined by him.

Looking down at the ever-changing airspace from above, I saw a long, blue-and-white camouflage Su-27S approaching head-on; And directly in front of this lone fighter at twelve o'clock and two o'clock, there are four murderous silver-gray F-15Cs full of missiles and engaged in the enemy.

From the sound of the radar alarm, Long Yun found that the opponent who disappeared from the radar just now should have appeared in the direction of two o'clock, not only that, but they obviously locked themselves with the radar and may use the AIM-7 "Sparrow" missile to attack at any time!

Finding the F-15 twin planes attacking from a forty-five-degree direction, Long Yun was not surprised, just now when he found out that the target formation was separated, he felt that the opponent would adopt such an engagement strategy. As for himself, although he launched the missile first, which was the crucial final guidance section of the R-27R, he could not gamble on the luck and accuracy of the opponent and risk continuing to provide radar exposure for the missile.

Thinking of this, Long Yun decisively gave up the missile guidance and instead maneuvered in small increments in a row according to the situation of the incoming enemy planes to guard against the opponent's next over-the-horizon attack.

After a quick positional adjustment, Long Yun turned on the afterburner to quickly approach the enemy in the direction of two o'clock, and with the condition of accelerating to about Mach 1.2 and maintaining an altitude of 7,000 meters, he was ready to enter the combat air combat.

And the four F-15Cs that rushed in recklessly today are about to be used by him to test their cooperation with the Su-27S and what kind of combat effectiveness they can play!

As Long Yun expected, the F-15C twin planes that were killed at a 45-degree angle all launched over-the-horizon attacks one after another, but because the distance was too close, they immediately entered visual contact with Long Yun; After performing a sharp turning maneuver, throwing off several AIM-7M "Sparrow" missiles with poor accuracy, Long Yun decisively turned on the afterburner to get close to the enemy, and began to enter the fight with these powerful "eagles"!

This kind of combat was something that the American pilots did not expect.

Originally, he planned to use the advantage of speed and use a preemptive over-the-horizon attack to eliminate the Russians in front of him, but who knew that he dodged them all, and even fell into a somewhat hasty combat battle.

At this time, they still have a lot of combat literacy to try to cooperate with the enemy, but unfortunately it is too late now!

After dodging the last incoming AIM-7M missile, Long Yun's maneuvering maneuver had already caused him to lose a lot of energy; When he approached his oncoming opponent and was already less than four kilometers away, he saw the right moment to perform a half-circle circle and began to engage in tail-biting combat with a group of F-15C twins that were rushing in at two o'clock.

While nervously maneuvering horizontally, making it impossible for the enemy planes that were still forming and maneuvering to occupy their seats, he observed the opponent's fighting skills and engagement habits with a fierce eye.

From the first high-speed contact, the enemy plane did not immediately break away and regain its speed, but chose to engage in a circling air battle with him, and Long Yun guessed that the pair, or the long plane, was a bit eager to win: if they chose to speed up and disengage and wait for another two-plane formation to join the battle group and carry out frequent raids covering each other, then Long Yun would really be quite difficult to deal with.

But now that the American has chosen to enter visual combat, he has accepted his challenge!
