Vol 3 Chapter 1508: Intercept the U.S. military tanker


In an airspace of 8,500 meters south of the central Indian Ocean, three U.S. military's most advanced KC-46 tankers are flying steadily at a speed of 600 kilometers per hour.
The KC-46 tanker is the most advanced tanker currently in service in the U.S. military, and it has only been in service in the past few years.
The 767-2 of Boeing is used as the platform, because its flight stability is perfect, and it will be the main force of the US military's future tanker.
The U.S. military plans to purchase 180 such tankers, and 19 of them have been delivered.
This tanker is mainly to replace the old KC-135 tanker. After all, as a tanker modified on the C-130 platform, not only has a long service life, but also gradually cannot adapt to the modern global military process. The most important thing is that KC -135 speed is too slow, some things can not adapt to emergency air refueling mission.
This battle was also a practical opportunity for the US Air Force to test this new tanker.
Compared with fighter pilots, tanker pilots are naturally less dangerous. After all, tankers are always far away from high-threat areas, because aerial refueling cannot be carried out in dangerous areas.
Therefore, the flight of the tanker is relatively easy and psychologically speaking.
Without dangerous war missions, there is naturally no psychological pressure.
However, the series of failures of the U.S. military have cast a shadow over all the U.S. military, whether officers or grassroots soldiers.
But on these three tankers, it was quite easy. Just a minute ago, the Lightning Fighter Wing had sent a message that they had successfully completed the mission and successfully damaged the USS Baghdad aircraft carrier and sent it to the Syrian Federation. The fleet has caused great trauma.
What's more regrettable is that after this air strike, fewer than 30 Lightning fighters were able to return.
The loss of more than a dozen fighter jets reduced the combat capability of a dual-carrier battle group by half. In fact, it is indeed an inspiring news.
Because next, NATO's Indian Ocean Fleet can easily win this war.
When the news reached the three tankers, every American crew member couldn't help but cheered.
And the three tankers all flew toward the scheduled refueling airspace. After completing the mission, the Lightning fighter must refuel in the air before it can fly back to the aircraft carrier.
Taking off from the aircraft carrier and rushing for 2,500 kilometers, plus the time to attack the air, and the distance to return to a safe area at this moment, the amount of fuel on all Lightning fighter jets at this moment can only support a flight of about 500 kilometers.
The 500-kilometer flight is still 2,000 kilometers away from the fleet. If air refueling is not carried out, the only destiny of these Lightning fighters is to randomly land on an island. If there is no island, they are simply giving up the fighter jets, parachuting to escape and waiting for rescue. .
Therefore, the existence of three tankers has become the key to incomparable, and it is also the key to determine whether these fighters can go back.
The key to location responsibility did not put any pressure on the crew on these tankers, because this place is very safe.
It is impossible for the carrier-based aircraft of the Iraq-Syria Federation to reach so far without any enemies around.
At this moment, all the crew members are cheering this victory lively.
Although this is a victory for the Navy, for the Air Force, it is like revenge for the previous defeat.
"I just said, how could the buns in the Middle East actually use the aircraft carrier? A little strategy almost defeated them."
"The century-old navy is not just talking about wasting such a good warship and handing it over to the group of buns."
"Cai Ruichen is rich in wealth. It is estimated that he will cry this time. Once the two aircraft carrier battle groups are destroyed, the Iraqi-Syrian Federation will completely lose control of the sea, and the situation of ground war will be completely reversed by the navy."
"But the army guys are really pitiful. I hope they can last longer in Isfahan. At least they should wait until the navy of the Islamic Federation has all fed the fish."
"Now the navy guys must be very proud, but they occupy so much military expenditure every year. If even the navy of the Syrian Federation cannot be killed, Congress will definitely kill the navy generals."
"I also hope that the navy can really reverse the entire battle. Otherwise, I really don't know how to continue this war."
"The main force of the Air Force has suffered a huge loss. The Eighth Army of the Army does not have half of the remaining units at this moment. Even if the Navy wins, this war is not easy for us."
"It's really unlucky to say that I happened to encounter an opponent like the Iraqi-Syrian Federation. We don't know how many hole cards there are in the future science and technology group. Changes."
"Oh, God!"
On the lively voice communication channel, while the discussion was happily, a harsh exclamation sounded on all the communication headsets, before others asked what was going on.
The co-pilot of the same tanker also uttered the same exclamation, as if God really appeared in front of them.
However, what appeared in front of them was not God, but an extremely smooth aircraft.
This aircraft appeared on the side of the tanker, silently approaching to the side of the three-angled tanker, and on the left side, it was close to the tanker on the far side.
The distance to the tanker was even less than fifteen meters, and the three-corner wing was almost touching the tip of the tanker's long wing.
When the captain above the tanker saw the aircraft suddenly appeared on the side ~EbookFREE.me~ the whole person was scared, and the deputy captain was similar.
This aircraft does not look small, with no cockpit cover at all, it is flat and very smooth.
The aqua blue paint seems to have layers of white water streaks, as if overlooking the blue sea.
This is an aircraft that has never been seen or heard of. The most important thing is that the nose of this mysterious aircraft is painted with the logo of the Syrian Federation Army.
This sign alone is enough to scare everyone on the tanker. What does it mean that a mysterious aircraft of the Syrian Federation appears in such a place? All the crew members couldn't imagine it anymore.
Seeing that the other party was still flying with him, the deputy captain hurriedly took out the high-definition video camera and wanted to take pictures of the other party.
But when he just picked up the camera, the other party suddenly slowed down and the angle switched to the next, completely disappearing from their eyes. The radar was always empty, as if everything was just an illusion.
