When all fighter squadrons switched to low-altitude cruise mode and advanced toward the Denmark Strait in the southeast...
Cobra and Archerfish performed a maneuver resembling stunt driving. Their F-14 fighters descended simultaneously to about 50 meters above the sea surface, as if hand in hand, in the dim light of dawn...
Subsequently, Archerfish made an extremely dangerous move, lifting the fuselage slightly and flying parallel above Cobra.
From high altitude, the two aircraft seemed to magically turn into one.
Ultra-low altitude penetration has always been a tactic that nations with coastal defense requirements must master, as Earth's curvature can effectively offset radar detection ranges, and sea clutter interference is effective on all carrier fleet radars...
Once the opponent's warning aircraft's patrol alert range is figured out, this tactical maneuver might allow fighter jets to penetrate low-altitude to within ten kilometers of the carrier fleet.
