“I will not!” The girl- Anya?- Cries over the radio. “He has done something to you! Lilya, have you forgotten us? Have you forgotten family?”

“We were never family.” Stasya says. “Papa showed us what family means.”

“H-he- he's lying! He tricked you!” Anya shouts. “You two are very naughty! You know what happens to naughty girls! They go to see the colonel!”

In response, a pair of railgun slugs from the girls rip through the air- one's a miss, the other passes close enough you see skin panels tear free of the fandance. “Y-you shot at me.....”

The girls dive in, more like the Valkyries painted on their helmets now than the quiet little girls they are on the ground. They're all over Anya- twisting, weaving, with tracers and missiles slashing through the air at the fandance.

“Frank, those flankers just entered missile range.” Merlin calls. “Twelve targets, and there's additional targets out there, but they're holding.”

“Holding?”

“Yeah. I can't figure it out, there's forty plus bandits at eighty miles out, about heading zero seven five.”

“Weird.” you say. “Eighty miles? That puts them over Smolensk?”

“Yeah. There's a pair of dreadnoughts there, too.”

A pair of dreads and forty fighters? Sirens start going off in your mind- what are they waiting for? “What's the status of the furball behind us?”

“Just about over-” Merlin says. “Not that many soviet aircraft left and-”

“Warhound, I'm detaching Rose and Lightning to assist.” Ice calls, interrupting Merlin. “We're done here, anything they've got left is either bugging out or doing forced landings on controled airstrips.”

“Frank, we're going to lose that solo bandit if we wait much longer.” Merlin says.

EAST POLAN

>>39779932
I don't think the Soviets are crazy enough to use anti alium weaponry in a conventional war with NATO forces, even if they're loosing it.

I hope.

>>39779932
FUCK! I didn't think of that! That makes it even MORE important to shoot the damn thing outta the sky!

>>39779971
Nope
This is the setup for REX TREMENDAE MAJESTATIS

>>39779982
oh yes shoot the thing ARMED WITH A FUCKING NUKE!

>>39779971

Of course not.

So they deploy huge payload conventionals.

Like burst missiles

>>39780002
if the nuke it self hasn't been armed it safe to shoot at if it has . . .FUCK.

>>39780002
You do realise that shooting a nuke is an excellent way to ensure it does not detonate right? Or do you have no idea how they work?

>>39780002
You obviously don't know how nukes work.

Yes. Shoot the damn nuke.

>>39780007
What if that strange solo contact is a Unmaned drone or some spotter plane...
fuck, its Nimbus.

>>39780055
shiiit flying carrier mk2!

>>39780033
If it has been armed its just as safe to shoot.

Seriously, you crack the case of the core and the nuke is no longer a nuke, just a anticlimactic detonator with some very low yield radioactive material thats unable to achieve fission.

>>39780002
It's actually very hard to set a nuke off by accident - most (competently-designed) nukes are build in such a way that you have to be VERY sure you want it to go off as a nuke, so the arming sequence is hella long, AND the internal charges have to go off in the right way. On the other hand, if you change your mind, it's EASY to disarm the damn thing.

As for shooting it, sure there'll be an explosion, but it'll probably be pathetic when compared to a single missile (has no idea if this particular comparison is true).

>>39779678
>[] Stay in it here! No sense starting something you can't finish.

>>39779982
>>39780002
Nah, maybe its a spotter drone.

>>39780081
>most (competently-designed) nukes

Unfortunately, we're dealing with Russian hardware that's not an AK-47.

>>39780097
Could be a teleport device.

>>39780105
As in, it's really, really hard to get a nuke to actually detonate. It requires near perfect timing, down to the length of the wires making a difference for most useful types of nukes.

>>39780105
Generally Russian equipments are 'working as intended' if very unrefined and crude.

>>39780105
Russian's who had access to martian tech for years.

>>39780097
If it's a drone maybe they will fly it straight at NATO's flyers and fire a burst missile at the drone.

>>39780105
It's still one hell of stretch to assume that shooting it will start the complex process of actually initiating sub atomic fission.

At absolute worst, it'll cause a fizzle, but Fronk would be well outside the range of that.

>>39780155
What is your fetish for burst missiles, goddamn.

>>39780155
So, Nimbus

>>39780105
russian nukes are surprisingly sturdy with very good failsafes, for example when a rogue kgb faction tried to hijack a russian boomer with planted spetznaz in the 60's and launch missiles on hawaii when they tried to get the missiles to launch without the proper procedure, the failsafes detonated the payload without a fission reaction, which scuttled the sub with all hands

“Girls, do you have this under control?”

“Yes, papa.” Stasya says, almost as soon as you ask. “She thinks we're still as bad as we were when we had to fly against her. We've learned since then.”

For her part, the Soviet, Anya, doesn't say anything- though you're pretty sure bu this point she's too busy trying to survive.

You twist the wyvern around, arrowing in on the single bandit. In response, it starts a dive, scrambling for the deck and the relative saftey of the terrain.

“Frank! The flankers!” Merlin calls as a warning, while your defensive suite starts screaming in your ear- “Missiles! Missiles in the air!”

You don't have time for another furball- not if you want to catch that mystery aircraft. At the same time, though, it's pretty clear these flankers don't plan to just let you go.

K-129

>>39780238

It was the submarine that they tried to pull up with the Glomar Explorer under Project Azorian. K-129. Honestly, what that anon says is just one of many theories, but it's certainly more interesting than "shoddy maintenance caused a flash-fire in one of the tubes"

[x] Use the AMRAAMS you carried out- it won't get all of them, but it'll get enough to keep them off you

Unwilling to just let the mystery plane go- Merlin's having trouble even getting it's type- you switch to weapon group two- AMRAAMS. The flankers have only just started drifting apart to engage you- their own medium range missiles still seeking a lock.

You ripple fire all the AMRAMMS as soon as you achieve lock- with Merlin guiding in the back, the painfully bright blue stars of their rocket motors quickly shrink into the distance. You track them on radar- and watch the flankers scatter as the missiles appear on their screens.

Two of them manage to escape the missiles locked onto them, while the other six aren't so fortunate. The remaining half the formation seem to panic, scattering wildly. Still, the risk that any of them will attempt to re-engage is too great to risk without a little help.

“Hey, Shark, little help up here?” You call to the twins.

“All over it.” Alyssa assures you. “Flankers?”

“Six of them, careful.”

“Should have left eight.” She says, pulling forward from her spot on your wing and breaking to engage the flankers.

The unknown bandit ahead of you has gotten low, but you suspect it's at it's maximum level speed- it's not accelerating anymore. While it's mach 1.8 or so would be plenty fast in most scenarios, against the wyvern, that's practically a crawl.

“It's big, whatever it is.” Merlin says. “RCS is a lot bigger than a fighter.”

“So it's a bomber?” You ask.

“Has to be. Maybe a one sixty.” She responds. “We're only going to get one shot at them at this heading before they cross into Soviet airspace, Frank!”

Nukes are not unstable things ready to explode and annihilate everything forever at the slightest provocation.
They are NOT going to explode because you hit them really hard.
They are more likely to become little more than big pieces of metal with some funnily shaped chunks of uranium inside them if you shoot them.

Because guess what? Nukes are NOT nitroglycerin.

[x] Use guns, with any luck they'll crash-land somewhere and the allies can recover the bomber

You select guns and move in. The pilots of the bomber, for their part, seem to know their best defense- the flankers- are out of the picture, and it's just you and them, now. They make some defensive efforts, but don't deviate from their flight path beyond that.

“Merlin, where's this guy headed?” You ask, trying to get inside the 500 meter range for guns- at this rate it won't take long, but you'll be damn close to the Soviet border when you do get the shot.

“I don't know.” She says. “There's nothing along this line on this side of the border, and only Krasny or Gusino on the other side.”

“What the hell are they doing here?” You ask yourself, closing to inside a kilometer.

One final defensive break from the pilots of the blackjack prove to be exactly what you need- your 25mm cannons vomit a deluge of shells into the aft quarter of the blackjack, which skids away, black smoke belching from the engine pod on that side.

“Damnit!” you hiss when it regains controlled flight- skidding around to get another shot, which sends shells across the top of it's stabilizer, wrecking it.

“Frank! Watch the border!” Merlin warns, her voice overriding your thoughts for a second. The blackjack- apparently piloted by a damn master- limps back into controlled flight, turning back onto it's heading. You've got one more shot at them to bring them down, unless you want to follow them across the border.

[x] I've got enough missiles to do the job

Even with it crippled, you decide you're too close to the border to risk another gun attack. The ASRAAMS, however, have enough range to reach out and hit the bomber- you launch your remaining two and break away, keeping your sensor overlay up to watch them go.

Both of the missiles find their mark- your LADAR gear is accurate enough to show you both missiles hit and tear pieces from the bomber, the first impacting the remaining turbines and the second blowing the tail completely off.

You turn away just as Merlin starts screaming a warning- a flash of her panic, pure and overwhelming, shooting through your mind.

The world behind you goes white.

Your sensor package- never designed to deal with that, but designed to momentarily blank out so your own Tesla cannon wouldn't blind you- polarizes out, blacking everything except non-visual spectrum sensors, then blanking infrared and the ultraviolet packages. You feel, more than see, the fireball behind you. The shockwave throws debris up in front of you as you slam your throttles wide open into max emergency power and begin to outrun it- if you'd have been a bit closer, you'd be dead.

The adrenaline jolting through your system slowly fades away. “How close.” You croak out, wishing for water.

“I-I don't know, Frank. Close.” Merlin says. “Radio is fried, sensors are out. We're lucky to still have control.”

You nod- even the VDNI feels fuzzy- Merlin’s still there, of course, but she's hazy, like viewing a friend through heavy fog.

“Where was everyone else?” You ask- it's your turn to shoot panic through the link.

1/2

>>39782333
Anon-tan licked the spit from her lip as she paused between labored breaths, her chest heaving ever-so-slightly up and down as she tried to calm down. That last lewdfic was so... Exhilarating. So much so that she couldn't help but, ahem, attend to her needs. The electric thrill that shot up from her groin and into her core was pure bliss, unfiltered ecstasy.

Finally she managed to assume a modicum of normalcy, and sat down correctly in her chair. A lewd smirk was reflected in the computer screen as she typed her next sentence:
"So ghost's been out for a while, so why aren't y'all posting lewds?"

Does this please you?

>>39782333
Last time I posted lewds I got temped ban so not risking it right now

“Clear. We were closest.” Merlin says, confidently. “God... Frank, everything's gone. Radar's out, radio's out. ECM is gone. We’re a mess.”

“Can we make Torun?”

“Yeah.” She says. “We've got the fuel, and the critical systems are ok. Frank- are you ok?”

“I'm fine.” You say, lying. That was a nuke. The crazy bastards were trying to use a nuclear weapon against you- against other people! And for all your skill, all your talent- if you'd have been even a few hundred meters closer, you'd have never made it out. How you did is anyone's guess.

“ We can probably put down at any of the forward theater airfields.” Merlin says, bringing up a map- thank the gods the nav computers survived. “The airport in Minsk is open for emergency use we can put down there.” She says, her calm starting to take over. It's all so can-do for her, especially when you're there.

“But Minsk is small and will probably be handling a lot of jets right now.” She warns. “There's also Minsk south, but that was damaged pretty badly, the runway there is PSP and they probably won't have much space either.”

“Anything else?” You ask.

“Not much. There's a couple bases in Eastern Poland, but it's not much farther from there to Torun.” She says.

That's my issue. They're going to have a lot of jets landing there. There's going to be less traffic at Torun to at least cause less problems with us having no comms.

>>39782561
The choices are Minsk which is closer but with good probability it will full and packed, or Torun which is far farther with our sensors crippled, but has guaranteed space for us.
Both are kinda shitty honestly.

>>39782576
>I doubt that the enemy have head hunter teams out right now.
The Russians still have 2 dreadnoughts and 40 fighters, just waiting 80 miles away, possibly far enough that they didn't get hit by the EMP.

>>39782576
Go and reread the previous thread and this one anon, then punch yourself in the face for being retarded.

>>39782595
Torun is also a long way away, and we'd be cut off completely from support on our own, while there is a lot of shit out there gunning for us. I could care less about ATC problems compared to that.

God damn the Russians must be real fucking desperate for pulling that shit or pure fuckin' insane.
>>39782578
It turned around after we started going for it and to our knowledge we're the only ones effected by them denoting the bomb. So unless Frank is worth literally going nuclear over, we stopped whatever their plan was.

So Merlin could sense the nuke... or was there something about the nuke that was different?

>>39782591
The idea is based on the blast fucking with the enemy planes as well as ours. If they can't use their radios efficiently then how are they to co-ordinate their battle. And also, we have self-darkening visors and we nearly got blinded, Maybe a few Russian pilots got blinded too and crashed. Or at the very least the enemy would be startled that a FUCKING NUKE went off.

>>39782614
Pilots are in the air with hot loads, with shitloads of enemies in front of them, with no idea what's going on.

You can bet your ass this fight is continuing.
