Chapter 837: An Unexpected Encounter
As usual, today's Syrian rebels are still maintaining a strong offensive posture on the front lines.
The Syrian Freedom Party, which has been fighting on two fronts since the outbreak of the civil war, and whose territory, industrial base, and economic level are quite embarrassed, has become increasingly large under the import of money and weapons from its backers. Launching an offensive on both fronts, the Liberal rebels fought very fiercely, and not only the Damascus regime in the south was losing one after another, but even the new Iraqi party in the east felt very overwhelmed.
Similar to the situation of an almost endless supply of weapons and ammunition, Syria, which is a small but densely populated Syria with 24 million permanent residents, and although a civil war caused a large number of refugees to flee across the border, the Liberal Party still has a population of tens of millions, which is equivalent to providing a very abundant reserve of troops for military operations: ordinary Syrians, although they have no good feelings about war and death, can only succumb to the dual pressure of economic interests and force and coercion, and they either voluntarily or forcibly join the rebels. The Liberal armed forces now active in the country have numbered in the hundreds of thousands.
The ever-expanding size of the troops, armed with large quantities of smuggled armaments, will put considerable pressure on the adversary, even if the training and command capabilities are quite mediocre.
In this sea of militarization that is reckless and frenzied, the Free Syrian Air Force, which is the vanguard of the Liberal Party's attack on the city, has gained super combat capability after a large number of mysterious fighters entered service.
As usual for countless smoke-filled days, a fleet of dark fighter planes again appeared in the clear sky over Syria today. Maintain large-scale formation flights. These are "ghosts" with slender fuselages and diamond-shaped wings. As usual, the magazines were filled with ammunition against the enemy. Relying on good radar stealth characteristics, it penetrates the opponent's weak air defense cordon, descends on the battlefield like a ghost, and pours a steel storm full of death on the panicked opponent.
Coming out in droves, the FSA's way of acting seems to be so monotonous.
However, what is different from usual is that just after this large area of low-altitude raiding "ghosts", there are more than a dozen black Liberal fighters flying in a platoon in the high and clear sky; A gray-black fighter on the side of the formation was exceptionally large. It looks like a giant eagle mixed into the wild goose formation, and its appearance seems to be a little hideous.
If you look closely, unlike the engine vents of other fighters with slightly tail flames, the "Giant Eagle" flying smoothly has two huge vents spewing blue translucent flames.
Without afterburner turned on, this can only be unique to one engine, which is an atomic hydrogen engine that burns hydrogen and has a higher tail flame temperature.
The "Giant Eagle", which is surrounded by several black "ghosts" and has a good radar stealth appearance and is exceptionally large, may not be detected by ordinary ground warning radars, but it has no way to avoid the electromagnetic waves that are transmitted hundreds of kilometers away. The whereabouts were detected by Soviet Russian long-range early warning radars deployed in Transcaucasia.
The multi-band radar reflection trail of the mysterious vehicle in the signal processing system of the radar of the "Pechora River". It's weird and easy to spot.
For several days, he had been nervously watching the southern sky, trying to find traces of the mysterious flying machine, and as was the usual case, the radar control center quickly transmitted several messages to the Soviet Russian intelligence services; As soon as the news was confirmed, after several rounds of transmission, this battlefield intelligence was sent out by the ground command station in northern Iraq, and Long Yun, who was driving the Red No. 19 Su-27SK, heard the dispatcher's call from the special channel, and he looked at it from a distance according to the direction indicated by the intelligence.
If the information is confirmed, does that mean that the elusive flying machine has finally appeared?
As happened a few days ago, today's Long Yun and his partner "Kvass" are still cruising on the east side of the no-fly zone in Sukhoi fighters to resist the onslaught of Liberal fighters.
After the crossing, we returned to reality, and in the face of severe air pressure from the Syrian direction, the intensity of the 3rd_IHFS's sortie has been maintained at a dangerous level close to the limit; Long Yun, who was assigned to the Red No. 19 Su-27SK, had no time to rest and recuperate, and the planned lightweight modification plan of the fighter had not been able to be carried out.
Temporarily using the old SK with poor performance, in a few days of fighting, he and his partner achieved two more shootdown results, and also met the "Middle East Chengguan" several times, fortunately never encountered ECJA's attack aircraft again.
The battle is going on day by day, the elusive "mysterious flying machine" has never been exposed, and the volunteer pilot "Sultan" who participated in the secret investigation has recently been operating near the Jordanian border, and the two have hardly met each other and have not exchanged any new information; After arriving in the Middle East, he was caught in the fierce civil war in Iraq, and recently he was busy fighting in the air and receiving a lot of bounties, Long Yun almost thought that he had forgotten the real purpose of joining NATA.
But now, as soon as he heard the dispatcher's code call, his heart was still pounding, and his emotions became a little nervous, and scenes related to the "mysterious flying machine" flooded into his mind, and his hands holding the joystick were trembling slightly.
The "mysterious flying machine" that appeared in the Middle East, according to Wang Weiguo, is it really similar to the one on the night of the "Wutongpo tragedy"......
Piloting a fighter plane flying over the war zone, at this time he was not allowed to think too much, Long Yun thought for a moment in the cockpit, formulated a combat strategy for forward reconnaissance, he called the wingman "kvass", and used the air information sent by the ground guidance station as an excuse, the two smooth Sukhoi fighters pressed the slope together, slightly adjusted the course, and then flew into the Syrian no-fly zone in front of him.
The two-plane formation broke into the no-fly zone, and did not see the "Chengguan Team 1" and "Chengguan Team 2" who came to intercept for the time being, Long Yun cautiously turned on the N001 radar to try to scan the airspace ahead, and he quickly found more than one air target, but knew that these would not be the one ordered by the dispatcher.
As for the "mysterious aircraft", Long Yun has read the materials provided by Wang Weiguo and heard his recollections, this kind of aircraft obviously has good radar stealth capabilities, and it is probably not that the N001 radar with average performance can detect lightly.
In the clear sky, the Su-27SK/SKM twin planes with two faint tracks were searching as they moved forward, but they did not know that a crisis was ahead.
Piloting the fighter to the west to meet the enemy, or rather, this is not to be regarded as engaging the enemy, but to prepare for a reconnaissance, Long Yun is very clear about the low detectable characteristics of the "mysterious aircraft", he can only rely on the target coordinates sent by the ground guidance station to search independently, and the rudimentary Iraqi air situation guidance system naturally cannot be compared with VVS; And he was sure that the coordinates were not from the radar system of the New Iraqi Party, in other words, it was clear that the timeliness of the information was not very ideal.
The two planes separated their respective searches, always keeping an eye on the enemy situation in the nearby sky, "Kvass" used the number chain from time to time to send batches of target scanning information, and the flat panel display in front of Long Yun showed several groups of enemy planes in the air, although there was no IFF, and it was impossible to determine the specific identity of these targets, but the previous combat experience told him that these were all enemies, and the "mysterious aircraft" he was looking for was somewhere between these threats. This kind of mission, which is similar to jungle exploration, made Long Yun frown a little hesitantly, after all, he is not alone now, is it really okay to take a wingman on an adventure?
However, before he could think about it, a faint black shadow flashed in the sky and was caught by his eyes, and the encounter in the clear sky happened so suddenly, he didn't have time to think about anything more.
Glancing down at the radar display, there was no signal in the corresponding airspace, Long Yun thought that this information was all obtained from the radar scanning of the "kvass" landline, which made him very surprised - the aircraft that had reached the visual distance had not been scanned by ZHUK-27, could it be the "mysterious aircraft" that he had been tracking?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly into the distance, but for a moment he couldn't tell what it was.
As the two fighters flew all the way forward, the outline of the enemy plane in his line of sight became clearer and clearer, and he was surprised to find that there were several black dots around the "target", obviously it was not a lone aircraft, but a large fighter formation!
Suddenly finding that the targets in the air had turned into a group, Long Yun's first reaction was to "touch the FSA fleet", and he immediately called the wingman on the radio and asked him to turn off the airborne radar to avoid alarming the snakes. But at this moment, an inexplicable sensation from the sky came from nothing, and suddenly he felt a little alert, this familiar and unfamiliar sensation surprised him inexplicably, if he was not mistaken-
Not good, they have already been discovered by the enemy!
Standing in the cockpit of the Red Nineteenth Su-27SK, he suddenly noticed a strange induction transmitted from the sky, and Long Yun didn't react for a while, but he saw that the target track in his line of sight began to change; Just when he was in doubt, his subconscious mind was still running nervously, giving the only possible answer, although this surprised him inexplicably, and it was a little difficult to turn the corner for a while.
Obviously, the black dot he saw for the first time just now, and the "fighter" that is obviously several times larger in his line of sight now, is the "mysterious flying machine" he is looking for; And this déjà vu telepathy, no doubt, can only be brought about by one thing.
