Although an early warning aircraft was arranged to perform patrol missions in the southwest direction, the distance was really too far to maintain real-time communication with the attack aircraft group.
Typically, in combat operations over such distances exceeding 1000 kilometers, reliance on communication satellites is necessary.
Unfortunately, the communication satellite was attacked and has been in a paralyzed state ever since, and no one knows when it will be operational again.
The result is that reports from the attack aircraft group are only received intermittently.
The first to engage with the enemy were the escort fighters that had moved forward.
The battle was extremely intense, even brutal.
After being intercepted by the Liangxia fighters, the F-14B group not only didn't turn to evade but accelerated their assault, relying on speed to shorten the engagement distance.
In fact, this is also a typical escort tactic of the Newland Navy Air Force.
