"'Ghost 1' requests the right to use the airspace at an altitude of 20,000 meters, over!" Karim was in the air as a Condor fighter calling the Abbas Air Tower. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Uh......" The command platform flight dispatcher opened his mouth wide when he heard this, and it took a long time for the Iranian dispatcher to ask in surprise and with a hint of mockery.
"How are you going to climb to that height?"
For modern fighters, there are really only a handful of fighters that can climb to 20,000 meters, most of them are modified and do not carry weapons, and the limit of ordinary fighters is about 18,000 meters.
Karim choked on the Iranian dispatcher's words, he was silent for a moment, and replied, "I didn't climb to this height...... I'm going to descend to this height. ā
The Iranian dispatcher's words attracted the attention of another Iranian air force officer, who, after hearing Karim's words in the radio communication, immediately understood what kind of aircraft the 'Phantom 1' was, and immediately agreed to Karim's request before the dispatcher.
It was close to midnight on the 14th, and Karim and his wingman had just finished their high-altitude reconnaissance of the Qatar Peninsula and were returning to wait for further orders.
Although there are currently only two Condor fighters in Iran, after midnight, they will be supported by the 'Strategic Air Force' from within Somalia, and a total of one squadron of Condor fighters will be used as the first strike at Qatar's air and air defense facilities.
In a fortification, the deputy commander of the Somali Air Force looked at Major Karim in front of him and asked, "You said that U.S. fighter jets have been dispatched to assist the Qatari Air Force in patrolling east of the Qatar Peninsula?" ā
"Yes, we spotted two F-15 twin formations patrolling in two directions, northeast and southeast of Doha, Qatar. In the skies over Al Udeid Air Base, we took some photos showing that the U.S. military had raised its alert. At the U.S. Fifth Fleet base in Manama, Bahrain, most of the U.S. ships have lost their tracks, except for a few small ships, which we later found 60 kilometers northeast of Huvel in northern Qatar, including the USS Eisenhower. ā
The use of the 'Divine Eagle' fighter as a strategic reconnaissance plane is also to the fullest use, because it is fast and has a high altitude, and although it is not covered with all kinds of reconnaissance instruments and equipment like a special reconnaissance plane, it can patrol the small Persian Gulf in a short period of time even with the naked eye and airborne radar.
Brigadier General Assad frowned slightly, although everyone was prepared for the intervention of the Americans, but when the matter came, not everyone could be calm. After all, the United States is too powerful, and in this world, there is no one who can really be confident and arrogant with the United States.
"Very well, Karim the message you brought back is very useful." Assad's thoughts naturally do not tell Karim that for the front-line soldiers, there is no need to think so much, as long as the offensive is on the offensive.
"After midnight, the 'Peace Lightning Operation' will officially begin, and the domestic side will also send planes over, but in the first strike mission, the planes sent by the country will not be fully invested, including you, can only put in four 'Condor' fighters. In addition, there are other fighter formations that carry out the first strike mission together, so Karim you have a heavy task on you, and you have to be really careful not to lose too much, in that case, the morale of the third OECD will be very bad. Assad patted Karim on the shoulder and said in a softened tone, "I hope you can lead the 'Condor' fighter formation to perfectly play the fighter that the 'sixth generation' aircraft should have, and achieve remarkable results." ā
Karim felt the pressure on his shoulders suddenly become heavy, and he had thought that there was a squadron of 'Condor' fighters, so he didn't have to worry about any losses from air strikes. But with only four of them, and also to 'take care of' the safety of other aircraft formations, the task is heavy.
"Commander, please rest assured that we, the 'Strategic Air Force', are guaranteed to complete the mission."
...... "Woo ......"
At 0:30 on the 14th, Doha, the capital of Qatar, sounded a terrible air raid siren, and although most of the citizens were evacuated in Doha, the capital of Qatar, there were still hundreds of thousands of locals and foreign workers who did not have time to leave.
As soon as the air raid sirens sounded, the whole city became noisy and chaotic, and Qatar, which was already extremely nervous, had to send a part of its soldiers to the city to carry out stability tasks.
Qatar's top brass basically hid in the U.S. military base in Al Udeid, and when the 3rd Economic Cooperation fighter jet that took off from Abbas and other cities in Iran appeared on the radar screen, Qatar sounded the alarm for prevention and control.
The first batch of 35 aircraft of the Third OECD Joint Air Force to fly in the 'no-fly zone' on the Qatar Peninsula were all relatively advanced third-generation aircraft, including Su-27, MiG-29, F-14 and four 'Condor' fighters. The first round of 'no-fly' missions was commanded by Iranian Air Force Colonel Yazdani.
"Attention groups...... The teams are aware that enemy aircraft have been spotted...... Enemy aircraft were spotted. Coordinates: xx.yy, six Mirage 2000-5......"
In the wireless communication of the joint air force's first strike formation, a voice came from the airspace of 12,000 meters.
When Yazdani heard this voice, he couldn't help but think of the 'Condor' fighter in his mind, and the last trace of nervousness in his heart disappeared, for an avid air force pilot, flying an advanced aircraft has always been Yazdani's dream, and when he saw the 'Condor', he thought that this kind of plane was what he wanted. But alas, at the moment it is impossible for the Iranian Air Force to equip such aircraft.
"Team S is in charge, and the other teams are coming to meet our guests, guys, I hope we can have a perfect air battle and let those Yankees die." After giving the battle order to each aircraft in the wireless communication, Yazdani flew towards the target with a huge group of F-14s.
Long before the start of the war, the Third OECD received confidential information from Qatar that the Qatari Air Force was all piloted by American pilots. So for them, there is no difference between playing Qatar and playing the United States.
However, just as the United Air Force was rushing to meet it, it found that the enemy plane had turned and fled and entered the range of ground anti-aircraft missiles. At this time, the "Condor" fighter plane, which had been hiding at an altitude of 25 kilometers, was dispatched.
As soon as Karim and his wingman pushed the longitudinal rod at the same time, the two 'Condor' fighters fell as if they were falling, descending 5,000 meters in just a dozen seconds, and the speed had already exceeded Mach 3. At the same time, the two sides of the belly of the two "Divine Eagle" fighters were opened, and two 'marble' medium-range air-to-air missiles developed by the Xingchen Group were exposed.
The 'Marble' is a medium-range air-to-air missile that uses infrared/ultraviolet homing guidance technology, with a maximum range of 55 km and a minimum range of 500 m, propelled by a solid rocket engine, and the missile weighs 120 kg. Although the 'Danball' missile had some technical shortcomings during the development period, it had a very high hit rate with the support of the high-speed habitual surname of the 'Condor' fighters, and it is also the only missile in the Somali Air Force that can 'ignore after launching'.
At an altitude of 18 kilometers, after the 'Condor' fighter broke into the Qatari air defense zone, the speed had reached Mach 4, and the six Mirage 2000-5s that had just been withdrawn were locked on the phased array radar on the fighter before they could turn around and provoke the United Air Force.
The terrible warning system shocked the American pilots, who kept informing the command center of their situation in radio communications.
Four 'Eagle' surface-to-air missiles were launched in an attempt to rescue the Mirage fighters in the air, but at this time, two 'Condor' fighters also launched four 'Marble' air-to-air missiles.
With the usual surname of Mach 4 aircraft and the thrust of the missile engine, the speed of the 'marble' missile exceeded Mach 5 in 2 seconds, forming four red lines in the air and tracking towards the Mirage 2000-5 fighter jet maneuvering and avoiding in front and down.
In the dark night, it is again in the tail pursuit, and the effect of infrared homing guidance will achieve the greatest effect, because there is no interference similar to the sun and other heating elements, plus it is a down-fired missile, so there is no worry about the missile chasing the sun.
The pilots of the Mirage 2000 fighter were frightened to do all kinds of rolling turns in order to get rid of the missile's tracking, and released jamming missiles to interfere with the missile, but in the end two Mirage fighters were hit by missiles, although the pilot parachuted to escape, but the first conflict lost two Mirage 2000, and the enemy's shadow was not seen, which gave a heavy blow to the Qatari high-level.
The four 'Eagle' surface-to-air missiles also rushed into the air at this time, rushing towards the plane, but unfortunately, the maximum speed of this missile is only Mach 2.5, and at this moment the flight speed of the plane is more than Mach 4, and even the butt of the 'Condor' fighter was not seen, and it had to explode in the air after the engine fuel was exhausted.
Other missiles in Qatar's air defense zone, similar to the 'Roland' and 'Light Sword', are only low-altitude short-range anti-aircraft missiles, which are of no use at all against flying objects at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters.
"Secretary Gates, I need Patriot missiles, 10 no...... I want a hundred Patriot missiles. Qatari Emir Hamad shouted at US Secretary of Defense Gates with red eyes.
This is still the beginning, the Qatari Air Force has lost one-sixth of its combat effectiveness, and if the United States does not intervene, Qatar can only choose to agree to the request of the third economic cooperation or prepare to die.
As for the 'Patriot' missile, Hamad was a little angry for a while, but it also reminded the United States not to hesitate, hurry up and counterattack.
...... "Allah is on top, great, we killed two Mirage 2000 ......" in the joint air force wireless communication, the pilots were extremely excited cheers, for them, basically have never participated in actual combat, except for a few Iranian and Somali pilots have participated in actual combat, most of them are still rookies.
