"Cypher, but let's save the chit chat for later. We got bombers from your former friends moving on the base we're headed to." I said, picking up radio chatter from the base, "Looks like the Government you worked for blitzkrieged it's neighbor and the Base we are headed to is the last line of defence."<br/><br/>I was cursing as I noticed the 6 MiG-23MS Floggers escorting 2 TU-160 Blackjacks. I didn't have anything to take those things down. My oxygen mask was clipped into place as I got ready to engage. Not sure what to do, I couldn't rely on Gunner to engage since it was his own countymen I was about to start fighting. I hoped he have missiles for engaging BVR and would actually engage.<br/><br/>"Gunner, I know this is a tough decision for you," I said looking toward the Flanker pilot, trying to gauge his reaction, "I can't fight this guys alone, and you are better armed than me. I need your help on this one."<br/><br/>I toggled my remaining sidewinder again, sighing as I mentally prepared myself. This would be rough, that was for certain. I wasn't sure if I could handle this. My head was scattered in all directions as I breathed deeply. After my sidewinder was gone, I'd only have my main gun left and that was dangerous. It meant I was severely limited in what I could do. This was interesting the more we got close.<br/><br/>I came in high out of the sun. The Migs never knew I was there until my remaining sidewinder took out the starboard engines of the lead bomber. Of course, by the time they started reacting I had blown the wing of the lead escort MiG before I passed through their formation. I turned to the right hard, pulling more high Gs as I looked to see the targeted bomber of my sidewinder losing altitude despite still being airworthy. It wasn't making it home or to its target with that much damage. It be lucky to land in one piece. On second thought, scratch one piece as I witnessed the wing snap off as it started rolling.<br/><br/>"Gunner, If you're gonna engage, you better do it now." I called over my radio to the Flanker pilot, "Use BVR missiles if you got them."
