Chapter 614 MiG-29K
Locked by the enemy's radar! When he heard the sound of the radar warning receiver, Toulus immediately performed a high-G maneuver to get rid of the lock. At the same time, the radar officer in the rear cabin had already seen the target rising from the ground on the radar screen.
The Soviets actually launched missiles! At such a long distance, the Soviets launched missiles to attack us! The Soviets must have launched a huge Rif missile! Just one of that kind of missile can completely blow up our fighter planes!
Accompanied by great surprise, the fighter plane maneuvered at a high overload, the body was pressed firmly on the seat, the blood flowed down, the vision went black, and the sound in the ears disappeared.
Get rid of the opponent's lock!
Those incoming missiles, after losing radar illumination, became blindly flying uncontrolled rockets! There was no need to worry about being hit by missiles for the time being, but Turus knew that he could not get any closer!
The Soviet warships have very dense anti-aircraft firepower. If our fleet goes over there, it will definitely be a death wish! It's dangerous within a hundred kilometers!
Not only within a hundred kilometers, but also beyond a hundred kilometers, it is dangerous!
After discovering that the other side had actually taken off a fighter jet, the Novorossiysk responded very quickly.
At this time, they had already crossed half of the strait, the narrowest part had passed, and the sea was getting wider and wider. The Turks were trembling with fear and at a loss, and this huge formation began to accelerate!
Speed up, speed up! The eight boilers were running at full power, and the high-temperature and high-pressure steam was sent to the four steam turbines, turning into 200,000 horsepower of shaft power to drive the propellers. Soon, it accelerated to 30 knots!
At the front of the deck, the covers of the newly erected launch silos were all closed, a wake baffle in the middle had been erected, and a fighter plane was ready at the take-off line.
Prior to this, Soviet aircraft carriers operated MiG-23K carrier-based aircraft. This greatly modified carrier-based aircraft has undergone a complete transformation from the original MiG-23. The twin turbofan engines provide powerful power, the digital fly-by-wire system solves the problem of control agility, and the completely updated avionics make it even more powerful. At the same time, due to the variable swept wing structure, it can effectively reduce the take-off and landing speed, meeting the requirements of ski-jump take-off and arrested landing.
However, no matter how it is improved, it is still a second-generation aircraft platform. Therefore, as the Soviet Union's third-generation aircraft was finalized and put into service, the improvement of carrier-based aircraft based on the MiG-29 and Su-27 was also carried out in full swing.
Among them, the MiG-29's improved version, the MiG-29K, has made much faster progress. Firstly, the MiG-29 was finalized several years earlier than the Su-27. Secondly, the Mikoyan Design Bureau had accumulated a lot of experience in improving the MiG-23K. Therefore, the MiG-29K has also been modified. The two experimental MiG-29Ks are installed on the Novorossiysk aircraft carrier, ready to continue testing the performance of this fighter during this long voyage. As for the Su-27K, it is still conducting research on folding wings in the factory.
Actual combat is undoubtedly the best way to test the performance of a fighter! Therefore, after receiving the order to take off, the MiG-29K was quickly lifted from below to the deck by an elevator and came to the take-off area, ready for an escort mission.
Captain Yarozov was sitting in the cockpit. He had already had dozens of experiences in deck takeoffs and landings, and was considered a veteran pilot. He was full of anticipation for this takeoff and operation. Following the gestures of the deck crew, he released the brakes and at the same time applied full throttle.
Two RD33 engines, emitting black smoke, pushed the MiG-29K to taxi quickly. The horizon gradually tilted, and then the fighter suddenly became lighter and took off from the ski-jump deck!
Compared with the MiG-23K, the MiG-29 fighter, which was designed with advanced aerodynamic concepts such as wing slats and wing-body fusion, has an outstanding advantage: maneuverability!
The MiG-29K has a relatively light body and is specially designed for use as a front-line air superiority fighter. However, because it takes off and lands on an aircraft carrier, additional air intakes and other devices have been cancelled, and the fuel capacity has been further increased. Under the surging thrust, the MiG-29K immediately climbs upward at a large angle of attack after taking off from the aircraft carrier!
After Captain Yarozov took off, the second MiG-29K was also ready for takeoff at another takeoff point. The pilot, wearing a helmet, gestured downwards. Although only part of her face was revealed, the female features could still be clearly seen.
This is a female pilot, Lieutenant Zhenia! She is the first female carrier-based aircraft pilot in the Soviet Navy Aviation! Due to the danger of carrier-based aircraft takeoff and landing, it is like dancing on a tightrope, so few women are involved. However, Zhenia has made a breakthrough. In every field, if men can do it, women can do it too!
Moreover, Zhenia is not only a carrier-based aircraft pilot, she also participated in the selection of astronauts. However, this selection requires more than a year of repeated examinations, so she still stays in the carrier-based aircraft unit.
This was Zhenia's tenth takeoff and landing from an aircraft carrier, but she had taken off and landed dozens of times on land platforms. Now, seeing the lead plane take off, Zhenia also opened up full power and rushed into the sky along the white takeoff line!
If we rely on violence to rush through the Turkish Strait, we will be on the brink of war at any time. What if the Turkish chickens suddenly attack and injure people? Therefore, we must be prepared!
Of course, taking off now is very dangerous. After all, we are still above the strait. If we must talk about it from the perspective of international law, it should be considered that the Soviet pilots have invaded Turkish airspace. How will the Turks react?
If you don't have sharp teeth, don't bite people! If you don't have strong fists, stay still and watch out for a beating!
After taking off, the two MiG-29Ks formed a formation and flew over the aircraft carrier, protecting their own airspace.
According to the Law of the Sea, warships are the mobile territory of a country! We are now protecting our own airspace! If the other side dares to come, let them never return!
"Direction 027, five targets, 80 kilometers." The radar screen in front of Zhenia already had a display. She reported to the lead aircraft and the mother ship. At the same time, she turned on the weapon switch, preparing to activate the R27 missiles she was carrying.
"Don't initiate an attack, drive them away!" Soon, the order from the aircraft carrier came through the headset.
