Chapter 117 Narrow Mouth Bottle

"Captain Andrei, the photos have been developed and they are quite clear." The MiG-25R reconnaissance plane that landed first at the Kamenny-Iruchii base opened its camera cabin after landing and quickly cleaned the photographic film inside.

Now, after Andre's fighter plane landed, some of the photos were developed. Now, what Andre saw in front of his eyes was a photo like this. His huge MiG-25 fighter plane was flying over the deck of the opponent's aircraft carrier. Due to the angle, the landing gear could not be seen lowered, but the Americans on the deck could be seen running around with their heads in their hands. The picture was so beautiful that I dared not look at it!

"Yes, it's a great photo." Andre said, "Now, we need to mail these photos to the Americans!"

"Captain, will our superiors agree to do this?" Alexander said.

In the Soviet Union, the military had very strict rules and regulations. Things like this should have been reported first. From a disciplinary point of view, Andrei and Alexander flew over the American aircraft carrier at a very low altitude on their return flight, and were hit by anti-aircraft missiles and pursued by Tomcat fighters. This was a serious violation of discipline.

However, Andrei was not afraid, because he had Andropov and Ustinov behind him. Especially the tough Ustinov, if he knew what he did this time, he would definitely slap his thigh to show his approval. To make trouble for the Americans, this is the victory of the Soviet Union!

Of course, Andre will also report it at the same time. Andre believes that the commander of the Far East Military Region will be very happy with his approach. At this moment, Andre's eyes almost flashed the appearance of the Americans on the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier when they got the photo.

Unfortunately, the Internet is not yet popular. If I want to send photos to Americans, I can only send them to the island country first and then forward them. It will probably take a few days for them to receive them.

"Hey, what is that?" At this moment, Alexander on the side said.

On the runway in the distance, a fighter plane with a long, slender body and a pointed mouth was landing.

It has air intakes on both sides, a green radome on the nose, a tall single vertical tail, and two engines at the tail. In terms of its specific shape, it is somewhat similar to the later Chinese J-8. Andrei knows that this aircraft is the Su-15 interceptor that serves in large numbers in the Soviet Air Defense Force, and is also a successful second-generation aircraft of the Sukhoi Design Bureau.

However, as far as Andrei knew, there seemed to be no Su-15 interceptors stationed at the Kamene-Iruchii base? The main force stationed here was large aircraft, including aircraft such as the Tu-95, but there were no front-line interceptors.

Looking over there, I saw the plane descending lightly, its wheels touching the runway, and while the front wheel was still in the air, the parachute was dropped. It then continued to taxi for a while before the front wheel dropped. This single landing showed the pilot's skilled technique.

"Let's go and take a look." Andre said. He was also curious about this kind of fighter.

If we talk about the high-end fighter in the Air Defense Force, it is definitely the MiG-25. However, if we talk about the one with the largest number of equipment, it is the Su-15. This fighter is equipped with various units of the Soviet Air Defense Force. This kind of fighter can be seen everywhere in the vast territory of the Soviet Union. Although it cannot reach the speed of Mach 3 like the MiG-25, it can sprint to Mach 2.5 without external mounts, and the twin-engine fighter greatly increases the reliability of the fighter.

Because of its slenderness and pointed mouth, this fighter jet is nicknamed "narrow-mouthed bottle" by NATO.

Moreover, this fighter is also quite famous in history, having shot down civilian airliners three times. However, as the main force of the Soviet Air Defense Force, this fighter is not well known because it has never been exported.

When the two walked over, they saw a tall pilot coming down from the cockpit with a tired look on his face.

"Hey, brother, which unit are you from?" Andre asked, "I'm from the 513th Regiment."

"Soviet hero, Captain Andrei?" The other party looked at Andrei and heard Andrei say that he was from the 513th Regiment. He immediately called out: "You are a hero of our Air Defense Force. My name is Osipovich, and I am from the 592nd Regiment of the 19th Army in Tbilisi. Our regiment is carrying out a transfer flight mission. The entire regiment will arrive here tomorrow. I flew here first."

Transfer flight? The distance from Georgia to here is not short. There are already three regiments of the 24th Air Defense Division of the Air Defense Force on Sakhalin Island. Now another Su-15 regiment is flying here? Andrei was immediately puzzled.

However, these are definitely all secrets, and there is no need for me to know too much. With my current identity, it would be bad to know too much. The military has confidentiality regulations.

"Comrade Osipovich, welcome to the Far East. In the future we can fight side by side to defend our Soviet sky." Andrei said.

"Yes, defend our sky!" Osipovich replied. At this time, neither of them realized that this sentence would become a reality within a few months.

After the MiG-25 at the Kamenny-Iruchyi base completes its preparations for refueling and maintenance, it will return to the Chuguyevka base. After all, this is just a special mission, and Andrei's flying regiment's defense area is Vladivostok, not Sakhalin Island.

At this time, in the southern ocean, a storm caused by Andre's provocation was occurring in the aircraft carrier formation.

After learning that their fighter jet had crashed, the search and rescue helicopter was dispatched urgently. More than two hours later, the two wet pilots were brought back to the Kitty Hawk. They were not injured, but were frightened to a certain extent.

"Report, I was not shot down by the Soviets, it was an engine failure." Standing in front of Captain Steve and Captain Ted, Captain of the Flight Wing, Captain William said depressedly: "The TF30 engine of the Tomcat fighter seriously restricted our tactical maneuvers. The Soviet MiG-25 fighter has a very good performance at high altitudes, so I wanted to lure the Soviets into low altitudes, and the Soviets had fallen into the trap and followed me down. At that time, I only needed to pull up to get behind the opponent and launch a Sidewinder missile, but my engine was shut down!"

"Be familiar with your own fighter plane, just like being familiar with your own body. Before we have a better engine, we must adapt to the current Tomcat fighter plane." Colonel Ted said, "William, you get very excited once you are in the sky and often forget the performance of your fighter plane. This is the worst thing to do. If there is a next time, you can just wait to be retired!"
