Chapter 763: Modern Air Combat

Although before the outbreak of the Gulf War, the domestic air force had already begun to attach importance to the role of modern weapons, and moreover, they also knew that they would be beaten if they were backward in a modern war, but many of them still harbored illusions, believing that they could make up for this deficiency by relying on a brave spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice in the case of backwardness.

However, the Gulf War woke them up and let them know that once they fall behind, they will not even have the opportunity to sacrifice, and even if they do, it will be sacrificed in vain and will have no practical meaning!

Of course, before the war, there were already a few people who could see that General Lin was one of them, because General Lin had been to Syria and seen with his own eyes how the backward Soviet fighters collapsed in front of the advanced Israeli third-generation fighters, and that was still Israel, the US army, the degree of modernization will definitely be higher, and the confrontation with the US Air Force, what the consequences, he already has a number in his heart.

That's why he is so urgent to promote the transaction of the third generation of aircraft, no matter how much effort he makes, he has to buy the third generation of Su-27, and if he is backward, he will really be beaten.

Now, General Lin did not speak, but handed over the right to speak to Qin Feng, and since Qin Feng came to this meeting, he had to boldly say his thoughts.

"The war of modernization is already a war of systems, and we can find the law from previous wars." Qin Feng said: "The United States has a modern fighter group, and it also has an advanced battlefield early warning and command system that is comparable to this, and the United States is far ahead in terms of electronic warfare. ”

"If the battle starts, then the US AWACS aircraft will hover over the side of Saudi Arabia and cruise back and forth in this airspace." Qin Feng looked at the map and explained to everyone: "The scanning range of this E-3 early warning aircraft on one side can exceed 400 kilometers, and it can track thousands of targets at the same time, which means that once the early warning aircraft takes off, all the airspace in Iraq will be transparent to the Americans." ”

The early warning aircraft is a multiplier of air combat power, and at the same time, only the most advanced powers can develop it, and even Britain has studied the early warning aircraft for a while, thinking that its strength is not enough and dismounting, and finally turned to buy the American E-3 early warning aircraft.

The strong performance of this AWACS aircraft has made it an air command center.

China has also developed the Air Police No. 1, but it didn't take long to find that the problem of ground clutter could not be solved, and finally it was not solved, and now, the United States' use of early warning aircraft is already handy, in this war, early warning aircraft will play more and more roles.

Hearing Qin Feng say about the AWACS aircraft, the staff officer wanted to refute it again, what about the AWACS aircraft? Iraq also has a well-established ground air defense network!

Before AWACS aircraft were not popular, they could only rely on the ground-based radar network, and now China is too, with all kinds of ground-based radars, covering the airspace of the motherland, and electromagnetic waves emitted from the ground, searching for any enemy who sneaks over on the borders of the motherland, and at the same time sending the message back to the command.

But he didn't say anything, and still listened to Qin Feng finish speaking.

"Under the command of the early warning planes, a large number of US ground attack planes, accompanied by electronic jamming planes, will blow up all kinds of Iraqi ground air defense equipment; at the same time, the fighter unit headed by the US F-15 fighter planes will cruise at a high altitude, and once the early warning planes discover that Iraq has taken off fighter planes, they will fly over to intercept them, launch their Sparrow missiles as soon as possible, and seek to shoot down the opponent at a medium range. They now have the best tactic, which is the Eagle Wall, where F-15 fighters line up in a plane and launch Sparrow missiles together, like a wall, any plane that wants to break through this wall will pay a price, and in this kind of attack, Iraq's elite forces will be shot down when they rise into the air, and they will not be able to fight the US Air Force at all. ”

"Compared with Iraq's hundreds of modern fighter jets, we can see that the US air force is at least ten times more than theirs, and as far as the current data is concerned, in terms of fighters alone, they have 191 F15s, 36 F-4Gs, and 143 F-16s. At the same time, there is support from other fighter jets, such as 24 F-16s deployed in Qatar, 24 F-15Es in Oman, 44 F-16s in Turkey, and 48 F/A-18s in Bahrain. These are just fighters deployed on land, they can also get a large number of fighters from the navy, so, I predict, this will be a one-sided battle, the Iraqi Air Force, there is no room to fight back, okay, my simple analysis is over, the detailed report, I have written it, for everyone to copy. ”

General Lin asked Qin Feng to make a report, of course he was prepared in advance, in front of everyone, a document was sent down, which said more clearly, how the early warning aircraft controlled the airspace, how to deal with the situation once it was discovered, and the comparison of various basic data that could be obtained, according to these data, it can be seen that the Iraqi Air Force in front of the huge US-led forces, in the face of this war does not seem to have any budget.

Looking at these reports, the staff officer had a hint of sneer in his eyes: "Comrade Qin Feng, your test flight of fighters is indeed the best we have here, but if you want to talk about the analysis of the war situation, you are very simple, and the most taboo thing to fight a war is a simple comparison of numbers, in fact, even if it is a comparison of numbers, you have missed a lot of things, for example, Iraq also has so many advanced ground air defense missiles, you don't seem to have calculated them at all." ”

I only know the comparison data, that is the most superficial, the lowest, if this is really the case, then there is no need to fight, everyone has a conflict, you just need to show your own force, compare, I have more planes than you, so you will definitely lose, you better surrender!

War, that's an art, you know?

During the years of the revolutionary war, didn't we drive out the reactionaries and liberate the whole of China by relying on millet and rifles? Now, although the number of Iraqi equipment is not as large as that of the United States, they still have other advantages, the time and place are favorable, and the Americans do not occupy it. Have you thought about it?

Don't talk about anything else, let's talk about the ground air defense of the people you didn't think of first!

The staff officer did not underestimate Qin Feng, but Qin Feng was born as a test pilot, and here he is just talking on paper, without a strategic vision.
