Chapter 559： Falcon takes off

Only by seizing air supremacy can we take the initiative in the war! Although Iraq is known as the fourth largest military force in the world, in the eyes of the United States, the Iraqi army is scum!

However, now in Iraq, it will jump over the wall at any time and attack Saudi Arabia. Then, the United States needs to preemptively and solve Iraq's air power first!

When Iraq lost its air force, their ground forces, no matter how powerful they were, were just **** and could easily be killed by their own A-6 and A-10 attack aircraft!

Therefore, just when US President Ronald Reagan announced a military strike against Iraq, the US Air Force deployed at the Prince Sultan Air Force Base finally began to act! Although they have only been here for a few days, they are already ready for battle!

"Raven No. 1, Raven No. 1, pay attention, it is 100 kilometers away from the Iraqi border, ready to release electromagnetic interference." At the front of the entire formation, in a large variable-sweep wing aircraft, the pilot received an early warning aircraft behind command sent.

This kind of aircraft is similar in appearance to the f-111, but the flat abdomen does not have any bombs, but there is a canoe-shaped radome nearly five meters long, and a large bag is bulged at the top of the vertical tail. It is a newer electronic fighter modified by the United States on the basis of the f-111 bomber!

Due to the rapid aging of the Douglas eb-66 electronic warfare aircraft in North Vietnam, the electronic warfare aircraft was quickly retired. In order to meet the needs of electronic warfare, the US Air Force tried to modify this new ef-111 Raven. Electronic jammer! .

The Raven electronic jammer of the &nb squadron is the latest model that has just been in service. Now, after receiving the order, the electronic operator on the right side of the cockpit has turned on the switches of various jammers.

In an instant, powerful electromagnetic interference flooded the entire airspace, and electronic equipment with a radius of hundreds of kilometers was immediately disturbed!

In the distance, at the Iraqi long-range radar station on the border, snowflakes suddenly appeared on the radar screen.

"Damn it!" the radar soldier couldn't help but shout: "Our radar is jammed!"

"Activate anti-jamming measures immediately!" shouted the commander of the radar station on the side.

Activate anti-jamming measures! The radar soldiers adjusted various knobs, hoping that the snowflakes on the screen would disappear, but it was useless. This kind of old-fashioned long-range radar provided by the Soviet Union did not have high electronic countermeasures!

Time passed little by little, and two f-16 fighter jets flying at ultra-low altitude dropped mk82 bombs at this long-range radar station. In the plume of smoke rising from the bombs, this long-range radar station was instantly destroyed.

The bombing of this radar station announced the official start of the US air strike on Iraq!

At the Shobia Air Force Base, a sharp siren sounded, and the Iraqi pilot who received the order quickly ran to his fighter plane.

Although the superior's order has just come down, it has long been a premonition that the war is approaching, and the air force base has always been tense, and various fighter planes can be dispatched at any time.

And now, with the sound of the siren, the fighter jets began to be towed out of the hangar and into the end of the runway.

"The Falcon is asking to take off." Reyel's heart was filled with uncontrollable excitement. The day he had been looking forward to had finally arrived!

When I fought with Iran before, Reyel was training to refit the MiG-25 and did not participate in the war. When I fought against Kuwait, Reyel also took off, but unfortunately there was no opponent at all, because the Kuwaiti Air Force was too weak !

Only now does the real rival come!

"You can take off." The command came from the headset.

Reyel fully opened the throttle, and in the hot flames at the tail, the MiG-25 fighter rolled quickly and took off.

The MiG-25 with full afterburner broke through the sound barrier during the climb and continued to accelerate toward the west, without sparing no expense on fuel consumption.

Behind Reyel, a MiG-25 followed.

As a fighter jet capable of flying to Mach 3, the MiG-25 is definitely not out of date! Moreover, the Iraqi MiG-25, just two years after equipping the troops, was upgraded with newer electronics and missiles with the help of the Soviet Union! All these make Reyel full of confidence.

As he climbed to an altitude of 20,000 meters, Reyer turned on his radar.

Snowflakes continued to appear on the screen. The electronic interference of the Americans was quite powerful. After flipping a number of switches, finally, the snowflakes faded, and countless bright spots could be seen. The fighter jets of the American Air Force had invaded Iraqi airspace!

The distance is 80, the speed is 0.8, the target is locked, two missiles, two seconds apart, launch! This kind of action has been done countless times during training, and now it can finally be used on the battlefield!

Reyel felt the body tremble, and then, under the wings on both sides, the heavy r-33 missiles flew out!

The r-33 missile was originally the killer of the MiG-31. Four missiles were mounted under the belly. However, with the development of the r-37, the r-33 is no longer an extremely secret missile. Moreover, I want to It is impossible for Iraq to gain an advantage over NATO as a whole without exporting advanced weapons.

Therefore, under the promotion of Andre, the Iraqi Air Force has this Phoenix Sky, but on the MiG-31, it is equipped with a phased array radar. This missile has multi-target attack capabilities, and in the MiG-31, it is equipped with a phased array radar. On the 25th, although the flat slot radar has been improved, it can still only hit one target.

Shooting at 80 km ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Only the US Navy Tomcat has this capability!

And Reyel's target is a slow F-16 fighter!

Although the f-16 guided by the energy mobility theory has excellent air combat capabilities, and even surpasses the f-15 in some aspects, the US Air Force does not intend to use the f-16 to seize air supremacy. If the f-16 is used in air combat If it shines brightly, then Congress may cut off the budget of the f-15 and make the air force equipment cheaper f-15!

Therefore, this F-16 fighter jet belonging to the 354th Wing of the US Air Force is responsible for the task of ground attack. Its wings are covered with bombs, and the target is an air base in Basra, southern Iraq.

Because of the heavy bombs, its energy maneuvering theory has become empty talk, and the increased resistance makes it impossible to fly at supersonic speeds. It can only drag the burden and slowly fly forward. As for burning out the fuel on the return trip, it is now flying at a cruising altitude of 5,000 meters. What they can rely on is the protection of their own electronic jammers, as well as the rear early warning aircraft and their own electronic countermeasures. (To be continued.)
