Even now, young people are still commenting on the liveries of the two "Eagle" fighters, but they seem to have forgotten that their own Su-27SKM is also sprayed with exaggerated dark blue dragon patterns; Three heavily colored fighters came and went in the sky, and the confrontation in the sky became more intense for a while.

While intercepting with all their might, they insisted on breaking through, and the three fighters faced each other in the sky, but for a while, no one could easily gain the advantage. Piloting the Su-27SKM, which has a disadvantaged thrust-to-weight ratio and an unsatisfactory altitude, the NATA pilot's horizontal maneuver is quite calm, and he is obviously on the defensive waiting for the opportunistic; The two "Eagle" fighters covering each other should pay attention to maintaining their positions while competing with their opponents in terms of technology, otherwise it is easy for NATA fighters to slip into the depths of the Southern No-Fly Zone without paying attention.

A confrontation between breakthrough and interception has been going on for several minutes under the clear blue sky, but the winner has not yet been decided.

Seeing that the continuous maneuvering strategy had no effect, and the continued encirclement of the ALSA fighters exhausted the remaining normal mind, piloting the Su-27SKM from another sharp turn, the NATA pilots changed their previous penetration tactics, no longer aiming to get rid of the opponent, but hovering in reverse and avoiding the F-15C that was turning sideways.

In the sky, the NATA fighter with full afterburner entered a large-angle climb with a puff of white fog, quickly shortening the distance with the F-15E "Strike Eagle"; While the sidestick entered a sharp sideways turn in the same direction and tried to cut into the inside of the course of the "Attack Eagle", the Su-27SKM piloted by the NATA pilot had already turned to the seven o'clock direction of the F-15E, and the EOS system issued a "Didi" prompt to capture the target; But the rules of confrontation between the two sides are taken into account. He did not choose to launch an R-73M missile directly. Rather, the radar was mobilized to intercept the adversary in front. Use the RWR alarm to tell the pilot in the "Attack Eagle" and let him know that he is locked!

With the radar tracking in melee mode, a short alarm sounded in the cockpit of the F-15E, Li Gejian's eyes swept over the opponent behind him who was turning to the direction of six o'clock, but there was a trace of hesitation in the operation in his hand - in the face of the threat behind the tail, now of course he can choose to climb immediately, and then make a big overload side turn at the top of the somersault, and use the instantaneous disc advantage of angular speed to get rid of the opponent's tail chase, it is obvious that the Su-27 behind is very fast, and he must not be able to keep up with his pace; But it's the same. He's going to lose speed and occupancy at the same time, and if the wingman can't catch up in time, he'll let the tricky guy go.

In that case, it will be very troublesome, if this guy is pulled cold and runs away directly, will you really throw two "Slammer" to knock him down?

This NATA pilot is really uneasy, why is he so disobedient!

Slightly distracted by the effectiveness of the interception, the "Attack Eagle," which missed the opportunity to climb, could only turn sideways in reverse, and then followed by a set of defensive barrels with a large radius.

Entering the barrel-rolling F-15E fighter, every qiē in the line of sight is spinning like the drum of a washing machine; Hear the incessant sound of radar alarms in the cockpit. Li Gejian reluctantly turned his head to look at the sky, and the distance between the opponent and the enemy in the background was about two thousand meters. At this time, the Su-27 in the back only needs to launch one R-73 to keep it busy. Thinking of this, he shook his head in disgust.

It's really on the battlefield of your life and death, who will fight like this with you!

Although the F-15E, which was heavy and carried several missiles, was empty in the back seat and could be regarded as a reduction in the weight of a pilot, Li Gejian knew very well how maneuverable the "Attack Eagle" was, and if an opponent like the Su-27 occupied it at six o'clock, he now had only one choice: that is, to immediately turn on the full afterburner and throw off the NATA fighter behind him with a good thrust-to-weight ratio and acceleration.

Doing so will give the adversary a good IR sight, but what can be done now?

"Ge Jian, turn to the right and hover!"

"Oh-see, you've locked him up?"

The wingman call on the radio made Li Gejian break free from a moment of distraction, and he suddenly found the wingman in the sky behind him, which was turning sideways to cut into the opponent's white track of the F-15C, and the crimson on the wing was particularly conspicuous.

It was just now that he broke away from the head-on situation of the double ring, and found that the NATA fighter that was still fighting with him just now had moved away in the opposite direction and ran to the rear side of the long plane, and he immediately pushed forward the throttle valve and pulled the rod violently into a vertical climb like a conditioned reflex, and changed the flight trajectory with a back-to-back roll similar to Herbst's landing on the wall, and the "Eagle" with full afterburner crossed the sky in an instant, and turned to the tail of the dark blue Su-27 when the black vision disappeared and the sight just recovered.

As the saying goes, "the praying mantis catches the cicada, the yellow finch is behind", the NATA pilot flying the Su-27SKM is skillfully tracking the flight of the "attack eagle" in front of him, as a skilled veteran, he never believes that the ALSA fighter in front can get rid of his tracking; But the radar warning prompt that sounded in the cockpit shocked him, this is-

Damn, isn't that red-winged F-15C supposed to be spinning in circles thousands of meters away?

The veteran had barely been able to distinguish the opponent's load, and the young man looked back from the cockpit, knowing that it would be difficult for him to avoid the powerful "Eagle" volley in this situation. From the pursuer just now to the pursued in a blink of an eye, the big afterburner maneuver just now made the fuel almost bottom, glanced at the low fuel level warning on the flat display, and the young man used the shooting halo to "aim" the dark blue "attack eagle" in front of him, and seemed to smack his lips in disappointment, and then pull the rod to climb and enter the return procedure.

"Hey, I'm running out of gas! That's all for today. ”

“……”

Hearing the rambling words on the radio, Li Gejian and his partner didn't say a word, and they resumed their two-plane formation to watch the dark blue NATA fighter planes turn north and climb all the way, dragging a light white track to gradually disappear into the background of the sky. Seeing that the fighters are not too rich in fuel storage, since they have driven the opponent away, the task is completed.

"Call 'Lighthouse', call 'Lighthouse', the target is confirmed to be a 'NATA' fighter, the model Su-27 single-seater, has been successfully driven away, repeat, it is confirmed to be a 'NATA' fighter, the target has been driven away."

"The 'lighthouse' has received the route information on the chain, and if there are no other air conditions alerts, it is expected to be able to return in 20 minutes."

"Route information confirmed, done."

After the call with the Lighthouse, the two F-15s turned back west along the newly demarcated route, and soon flew out of the Iraqi no-fly zone and back over Saudi Arabia. The driving landline followed the pace of the long plane, and when she heard the silence on the radio, Gao Meiyu knocked on the talk panel:

"Ge Jian, this guy I met today is the one who shot down the Liberal Party's 'Mirage' fighter?"

"Oh, -- almost, this should be it."

Subconsciously controlling the F-15E to fly smoothly in the air, recalling the series of confrontation experiences just now, Li Gejian frowned and thought for a moment, with a faint concern in his tone:

"This guy's technique doesn't seem to be simple." (To be continued......)
