Chapter 110 Fire, Fire Now

I’m here again! Andre was filled with excitement at this moment.

Originally, according to the original plan, the reconnaissance operation was completed by flying high over the heads of the American aircraft carriers. However, this was not satisfying enough, so Andre suddenly decided to give the US Navy another heavy blow.

So, Andrei is back again! When they flew over the American aircraft carrier, the three MiG-25s had already shut down their afterburners and started to slow down. After leaving the American formation, they were supposed to turn around at the scheduled turning point and return to Sakhalin Island. But now, two MiG-25PD fighters were flying towards the American aircraft carrier from behind at a very low altitude!

As long as the early warning aircraft on the aircraft carrier did not take off, the radar blind spot was quite large. The two MiG-25s flying from behind were only detected by the enemy radar at a distance of 30 kilometers. At this time, two American Tomcat fighters happened to be returning. The Americans intuitively thought that these two fighters were their own returning fighters, so they let the two MiG-25s easily get into the American aircraft carrier formation.

The Americans advertised how unbreakable and indestructible their aircraft carrier fleet was. What about now? If their fighter planes carried bombs, they could also cause severe damage to the American aircraft carrier fleet!

In front of us was an American aircraft carrier! From the air, the wide deck looked like a small leaf floating on the sea, swaying left and right. It was quite difficult for the pilots of the carrier-based aircraft to land.

Looking at the Fresnel optical landing aid system on the aircraft carrier, Andre adjusted the flight trajectory of his fighter and flew accurately towards the aircraft carrier. Although it was his first time in this world and also the first time for the Soviet Air Force, in the previous life, China already had its own aircraft carrier, and Andre had flown it several times on the simulator.

It's not like they're really going to land, they're just pretending! Andre smiled and continued on the radio: "Lower the landing gear!"

Lower the landing gear! Just like that, the hydraulic cylinders of the two MiG-25s moved, the landing gear doors opened, and the huge landing gear was lowered.

Of course, Andre would not really let the landing gear touch the deck of the aircraft carrier. If the posture was slightly wrong, the main landing gear on one side would touch the deck first and would be reversed in an instant, which would really give the MiG-25 to the opponent.

I'm just pretending. I don't know what the perspective of the MiG-25R in the sky far away is. It would be great if it could take a picture of us now!

Lieutenant Alexander at the back was full of admiration for Andre at this moment. Only Andre could play with Americans like this. It was so exciting!

Then, he heard the voice of Captain Andre in the headset again: "Turn on the afterburner!"

Turn on the afterburner! As the switch was turned, the two engines at the rear emitted blazing flames and burst out with a thrust of 110 kilonewtons. At this point, the fighter had consumed nearly half of its fuel, its own weight was reduced, and its acceleration performance was even better.

I felt a push on my back, and the aircraft carrier below flew past me almost instantly.

"SHIT!" At that moment on the flight deck, all the American navy soldiers were cursing loudly, lowering their heads, lying on the deck, holding on to the things around them.

An unlucky soldier was instantly swept by the air current, and his body involuntarily leaned back and fell down! Fortunately, the guardrail below caught him, but he still broke his leg bone.

In the bridge, when he saw the two fighters were about to land, Colonel Steve was a little excited for a moment. Could these two be Soviet planes that had defected? From this angle, he could see the red five-pointed star on the wings. They must be Soviet fighters! And now, it looked like they were about to land?

Then, he was blown back a few steps by a violent airflow and almost fell down. The windows on the bridge were open, and the two fighter planes actually stirred up such a violent airflow! Damn it! Without a landing hook, how could such a heavy fighter plane land on its own aircraft carrier? I really had a wild idea!

"Damn it, Soviet planes!" Ted, the flight commander at the side, reacted faster: "Open fire, open fire immediately, shoot them down!"

At this time, Vice Admiral Jonard could no longer object. For the US Navy, warships were their mobile territory, and just now, the Soviets had actually invaded US territory! This kind of behavior must be severely punished!

When Ted's order was transmitted to the two Tomcat fighters in the air through the radio, Major George had already seen two Soviet MiG-25 fighters arrogantly flying over their own aircraft carrier. The glory of the US Naval Aviation Force made him suddenly furious.

Damn it! I failed in my duty. The Soviet planes have already flown over our formation and landed on the aircraft carrier! This is a shame for the US Navy Air Force!

Kill them!

The two Tomcat fighters, which were originally preparing to enter the descent route, immediately pulled up. At the same time, the afterburner at the tail was turned on, and the wings were swept back to form a wing shape for a fast sprint.

Catch up with the Soviet planes and launch missiles! At this time, the Americans seemed like a rabbit that was cornered, and even rabbits bite when they are cornered! Not to mention the US Navy that is armed to the teeth!

"Radar locked, launch the Phoenix!" Major George shouted to the weapons operator in the rear cabin while putting on his oxygen mask.

The weapon operator at the back pushed various buttons nervously and orderly, but at this moment a red light lit up on the weapon operating panel.

"The cooling system is faulty and the missile cannot be launched." The weapons operator in the rear cabin sounded somewhat helpless.

The Phoenix missile is a large air-to-air missile with an active seeker. The internal circuit system is complex, and many components also use electronic tubes, which leads to high internal heat. Therefore, if the missile is launched while flying with the carrier aircraft, the temperature of the missile will continue to rise. If it is not cooled, the missile body will melt or catch fire, and even affect the safety of the F-14 carried. Therefore, the Phoenix must use the coolant stored inside the F-14 and transmitted to the missile to take away the waste heat to ensure that the missile can be used normally. This cooling requirement affects the preparations before launch, and the problem of coolant leakage cannot be avoided. Until the C-type missile, solid-state electronic technology was used to replace the previous design to reduce the heat generated by the electronic system, thus eliminating the need for cooling.

But now, the coolant of this Tomcat fighter has leaked, causing the missile to overheat when it is ready to launch the Phoenix, and it cannot be launched at all.
