Volume 7 Chapter 940 There are joys and sorrows
readx;
In movies, it is common to see planes braving heavy artillery fire in World War II war films, when pilots were at a much higher risk of death than modern pilots. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the 21st century, in the skies over the Persian Gulf, there is rarely the determination to show the fierce and fearless forward forward of decades ago.
In this way, the MiG-23 fighters belonging to the United Air Force withstood the attacks of F-18 carrier-based planes that far surpassed their generation, and heroically covered the withdrawal of the main forces of the United Air Force to the ground air defense zone.
Perhaps, for the MiG-23, the surname of the US Navy carrier-based aircraft 'Super Hornet' can be too different, but the commander's advice before departure echoes in the ears of every pilot.
"Go ahead, breaking into the missile range and firing missiles at enemy planes is your only mission."
The main fighters that had run out of ammunition and fuel entered Iran safely under the cover of such a group of backward fighters of their own side who were not afraid of death, and got rid of the pursuit of US carrier-based planes under the threat of ground air defense weapons.
Even with the desperate cover of the MiGs, they lost one-sixth of the nearly 200 kilometers from the exit from the battlefield to the return to Iranian territory.
So far, the losses of the main fighters of the Joint Air Force have reached 33 aircraft, including 8 MiG-23 fighters, 5 Su-27SS fighters, and 20 MiG-29 fighters.
This number does not seem to be much, such as Iran, Syria and North Korea, the air force fighters are calculated in hundreds, more than 30 is like a trivial number, but these lost fighters, more than half of them are the main forces of the main forces of various countries, all of them are the most advanced third-generation aircraft. Usually it takes a long time to feel distressed to lose any fight, but today, although the muscles on the faces of the representatives of various countries kept twitching, no one said a word of distress.
The more this happens, the calmer everyone has to be.
"Commander Karsaki, have the reinforcements arrived?" Brigadier General Assad, deputy commander of the Somali Air Force, asked. So far, the Somali Air Force has lost five Su-27 fighters, and because the Su-27 fighters have a long range, a large bomb load, and a long time in the air, half of the fighters left behind in the main battlefield are Somali Air Force fighters.
For this Persian Gulf war, Li Moke pressed all his net worth, although the war will inevitably have losses, but Deputy Commander Assad still hopes to lose less.
Major General Karsaki, deputy commander of the Iranian Air Force, asked the Iranian officer beside him, nodded at Assad and said, "The reinforced 12 MiG-29 and 18 F-14 fighters have entered the main battlefield. I have just gotten off the fighter plane that has just returned home, immediately refueled, loaded and took off, and immediately went into battle, Commander Assad, I believe that the final victory in this war will definitely belong to us. ”
Hearing Commander Calsaki's last words of comfort, the others all squeezed out a reluctant smile.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I just received a call from my father, who said that Libya has the responsibility and obligation to contribute to the Third Economic Cooperation and Development Organization in this war, and that our country will spend $3 billion after the war to help countries do post-war reconstruction." Lieutenant Colonel Khamis, Gaddafi's sixth son and commander of the Third Rapid Reaction Force, also interjected at this time.
In this war, Libya did not send a single soldier except for the arrival of a part of the special forces sent by the symbolic surname, firstly, the Libyan air force itself could not take it, and secondly, France was still eyeing the Mediterranean, and Libya did not dare to put its limited military strength into the Persian Gulf. At the beginning, this was discussed within OECD III, and there was money to contribute, and there was no money to contribute. Libya is one of the payers.
The so-called 'post-war reconstruction work' is certainly not about restoring buildings on the ground that have been destroyed by the war, but about the money being used to make up for the losses of several countries.
$3 billion, if it is used to purchase fighter jets, there are dozens or hundreds.
"I think it's better to let the Xingchen Group make this money." Lieutenant General Kim Dong-dong, chief of staff of the DPRK Air Force, who rarely speaks, said with a meaningful smile.
Lieutenant General Jin Dongdong's words made the representatives of the other three countries look at Deputy Commander Assad with expectant eyes, from the previous air battles, these people know far more than others about the excellent surname of the "Divine Eagle" fighter plane, and the representatives of these countries have hinted more than once that they want to purchase the "Divine Eagle" fighter plane, but they have all been fooled by Deputy Commander Assad.
Without Li Mo's nod, the 'Divine Condor' fighter would not have been able to exit.
However, Deputy Commander Assad believes that with the Persian Gulf War, relations between the Third OECD countries will become even closer, and it will be a matter of time before the 'Condor' fighter jets are exported to these countries.
"3 billion US dollars, you can't buy a few 'Condor' fighters." Deputy Commander Assad said again with a haha.
"Report!" At this moment, a command staff officer walked in with a report and shouted.
"Report to the commanders, our reinforced 'Ghost' formation accidentally encountered a squadron of American F-22 fighters near Das Island, and then the two sides engaged in a fierce battle, and so far our side has shot down a total of five F-22 fighters, and one of our 'Condor' fighters has been wounded. The fighting is still ongoing. The lieutenant colonel's staff officer didn't look at the report in his hand at all, and said it out loud directly, with a hint of excitement in his expression. It can be seen that when he got this report, the lieutenant colonel must have read it carefully several times, otherwise he would not have remembered it so clearly.
In the office, the representatives of the five countries were stunned for a moment, and then did not care that any subordinates were high-fiveing each other.
This is really incredible good news, from the main battlefield side of the United Air Force can be a draw with the US Air Force, but everyone knows that if there is no accident, the United Air Force will not be able to hold on sooner or later. But while everyone was waiting for the "Condor" fighter jet codenamed "Ghost" to take off from Somalia to reinforce the air battle here, they did not expect that they would meet the F-22 fighter group in the main battlefield of US reinforcement.
At the cost of one of their own injuries, shooting down five F-22s, which represent the world's most advanced fighters, if this news spreads, I am afraid the whole world will boil.
The five of them glanced at each other, and they all knew that the next step was to report the good news to the higher-ups, since the beginning of the air battle to achieve a little success, the United Air Force has been at a disadvantage, and now even the famous F-22 fighter jets have been shot down in the air battle as many as five planes, what is the significance of the final direction of this war? I think those remarks that call for the United Air Force to be vulnerable will be ashamed to death in the face of this reality.
…… At the Camel Mountain base, Li Mo received reports from Assad and Wang Ning of the Ministry of Intelligence almost at the same time.
Seeing the losses of the Combined Air Force and the Somali Air Force in the report, Li Mo felt a pain in his flesh, not to mention the planes, with the 'Condor' fighters, the conventional fighters will be replaced sooner or later, but the three excellent pilots who can be sacrificed are what Li Mo really feels sorry for.
The Somali Air Force was established late, and most of the existing pilots are junior pilots, and although there are hundreds of qualified pilots in the army, which one of them was not trained at a huge cost? If other countries spend five years training pilots and let pilots fly for half an hour a day, then Somalia spends two years and lets pilots fly their own planes for two hours a day. Through this practice, we can 'catalyze' the improvement of the skill level and quality of pilots. Both can achieve the same effect, but the former is significantly less expensive than the latter.
Among the hundreds of pilots on active duty, those who can fly Su-27 fighters are second only to those who fly the 'Condor' fighters, and some of them have even participated in actual combat.
Li Mo, who was very distressed, stayed alone in the room and scolded the Yankees before continuing to read the report.
He was also very surprised when he saw that Jababa led the 'Condor' squadron and the US F-22 fighter squadron to meet unexpectedly, which was also too coincidental.
And then, a fierce air battle broke out between the two sides, although the report did not mention how the air battle was, but the results given so far made Li Moxi look good.
Although it has long been understood that the revolutionary surname of the 'Condor' fighter has a revolutionary surname in modern aviation history, it is after all a new type of aircraft that has never participated in actual combat, and the short-term battle with the Qatar Air Force Mirage 2000-5 cannot be deduced at all.
Undoubtedly, the surname of the 'Condor' fighter can surpass that of the fourth-generation American aircraft 'Raptor', and the number of 0:5 speaks for itself.
I think the black president must have looked very good when he got the news. Li Mo's heart was full of malicious thoughts.
Indeed, Obama was panting like an old cow after throwing the war report from Secretary Gates on the table.
"Fucking bastards, do I want me to say to the American public that a fighter jet that costs tens of billions of taxpayers and costs more than $200 million a unit is so vulnerable?" Obama finished loudly and ripped off his tie, as if the blood in his body was expanding.
"Oh God, if that's the case, the American public will tear me up." Obama said angrily. During his tenure, he intends to completely stop military procurement, a product of the Cold War, and drastically reduce the military budget, and the current failure of the F-22 fighter seems to be a perfect excuse to suspend the procurement of such fighters, but he is the president of the United States, is he willing to use such a failure to weaken the American budget?
Obama can't imagine that even the F-22 fighter has achieved such a bad 'result', will the United States still win the Persian Gulf War? Once the United States loses this war, what does it portend for the United States? It indicates that the United States will lose the Middle East, and that the most important branch of the towering tree of the United States has been cut down.
