Chapter 136 The Battle Ends

However, facing these Sparrow missiles, Andre was not worried. As long as it was not attacked by Phoenix missiles, other missiles could not pose a threat to the MiG-25!

Operating his fighter plane and continuing to climb, Andre had no worries at all about the Sparrow missiles that were fired at him.

The F-15's APG-63 radar continuously shines beams onto the MiG-25, and the reflected radar guides the incoming Sparrow missiles, which fly very fast.

But then, they discovered that the target was continuing to climb!

Faced with such a target, the Sparrow Missile had no other choice but to continue climbing to shoot down the opponent. However, the fuel of the Sparrow Missile had already burned out, and it now relied on unpowered inertial flight!

So, as the MiG-25 continued to fly upwards for about a thousand meters, the kinetic energy of the Sparrow missile had been exhausted, and it could only watch the target continue to climb higher while it chose to self-destruct.

Climbing back to an altitude of 26,000 meters, Andre's eyes were filled with rage for revenge.

"Squadron Three, disperse the Tomcat fleet that attacked us. Squadron Two, follow me!" The first thing Andre had to do was to kill the F-15 on the other side! As for those Tomcats, after they found that the attack had failed, they would probably choose to retreat. After all, the Tomcats had been scared by him last time. Before the engine problem was solved, the Tomcats would definitely not want to fight with him.

At this time, 70% of the fuel had been consumed. Sokolovka would definitely not be able to return. After the battle was over, they could just land directly on Sakhalin Island. At this time, as the fuel was consumed, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the fighter plane had exceeded 1. Even in an air battle with an F-15, it would not be completely at a disadvantage and there was still hope of winning!

Radar showed that after the failed sneak attack, the American F-15 fleet had chosen to abandon the fight and continued to retreat to the south. In five minutes at most, they would fly over Hokkaido.

There was no other choice but to give up the fight. Their fighter planes could not fly to an altitude of more than 20,000 meters to fight with their own side, so they could only choose to retreat!

It is best to give up the battle, which will allow your own side to pursue!

In the sky, the MiG-25 group separated, four of them went to drive away the Tomcat group that attacked them from behind, and five went to chase the F-15 group. Unfortunately, one of them was hit by a Sparrow missile after getting rid of the Phoenix missile. The Iron Fighter was only injured and had to return and make an emergency landing.

Relying on the advantages of altitude and speed, the MiG-25 group was getting closer and closer to the F-15 group. However, the other side was also desperately approaching the sky above Hokkaido. As long as they flew within the sky above Hokkaido, Andre's group would have to stop chasing, so there was only one chance to shoot!

The MiG-25, like a knight on a tall horse, was chasing the infantry in front. This battle was one-sided.

When the distance was still 25 kilometers, the MiG-25 fleet swooped down from the sky, and the radar at the front of the aircraft began to lock onto the desperately fleeing target in front.

The enemy was still flying at an altitude of 15,000 meters! This altitude gave the MiG-25 a chance!

At this time, the MiG-25s of the 513th Regiment had all been upgraded to MiG-25PDs and equipped with new high-altitude Skylark 25 radars. This radar had a certain function of filtering ground echoes, but it was not perfect after all. If the enemy flew into the low altitude, the high-altitude Skylark 25 radar would not be able to accurately lock onto the target.

And now, the opponent is still at an altitude of 15,000 meters, and the echo from the ground has almost zero impact.

With flames flaring under the wings, the R-40 missiles left the missile racks one after another, caught up with the target in front, and attacked from behind. All MiG-25s used infrared-guided missiles.

After the launch, the MiG-25 raised its nose and began to climb again, returning to its own high altitude. The MiG-25 is the king of the sky. In such an air combat, it can only attack and not be attacked!

The early warning aircraft urgently notified the F-15 fleet. The skilled pilots of the 14th Squadron used various means, releasing infrared decoys and making maneuvers to escape. Many of the R-40 missiles behind them were shot down.

"Boom!" At this moment, a fireball appeared in the sky. An F-15 failed to get rid of the missile and was hit! The huge warhead instantly detonated the F-15's fuel tank. The plane exploded in the air and the pilot did not eject at all.

The process was very complicated. In fact, the air battle lasted only five minutes. When Andrei's MiG-25 fleet landed at the Kamenny-Iruchii base, the results of the battle had already come out.

The Americans lost one F-15 fighter jet shot down, one damaged, and four F-4 fighter jets. These F-4 fighter jets were mainly besieged by the swarming MiG-21 and Su-15 fighter jets when the F-15 fighter jets were separated to intercept the MiG-25. The Soviet Union suffered even greater losses, with four MiG-21 fighter jets, six Su-15 fighter jets, and even one MiG-25 fighter jet was damaged.

As for the Tomcats, they escaped very quickly. When the MiG-25s approached Hokkaido, they had already jumped into the Pacific Ocean without any losses.

Hearing this result, Andre frowned.

The losses of Su-15 and MiG-21 are mainly caused by the American F-15. With the deployment of the American F-15, the sky in the Far East will become even more unpredictable!

The overall result of the air battle was in favor of the Americans. Through this actual combat, the Americans tested their own F-15 fighter jets, which had huge advantages over the Soviet MiG-21 and Su-15 fighter jets. In the eyes of their pilots, these Soviet aircraft were slow and could be easily attacked by the F-15.

Although they did not shoot down the MiG-25, they damaged one, proving that the navy and air force working together were still capable of inflicting heavy damage on the MiG-25. The Americans were complacent and very satisfied with this battle, as they had finally completely suppressed the Soviets!

As for the losses, most of them were caused by the Japanese people who were in the plaster flag. Their fighter planes were lost, and it had no impact on the United States. At most, they could draw a few F-4s from their retired fighter planes to replenish them. Anyway, the lives of the Japanese people were not worth much. In the eyes of the Americans, they were just cannon fodder.

As for the Soviet Union's accusations, the United States is not afraid. This is all because the Soviet Union shot down the civilian airliner! The Soviets were the first to make the mistake! Moreover, they refused to admit their mistakes!
