Only by seizing air supremacy can we grasp the initiative in the war! Although Iraq claims to be the fourth in the world in terms of military strength, in the eyes of the United States, the Iraqi army is all scum!

However, now Iraq will jump over the wall and attack Saudi Arabia at any time, so the United States needs to strike first and solve Iraq's air power first!

When Iraq loses its air force, their ground forces, no matter how strong they are, are just scum, and they can easily be killed by their own A-6 and A-10 attack aircraft!

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

"Raven 1, Raven 1, note, a hundred kilometers from the Iraqi state border, ready to release electromagnetic interference. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info"At the front of the entire formation, in a large variable-sweep wing aircraft, the pilot received an order from the AWACS aircraft behind.

This kind of aircraft is similar in appearance to the F-111, but the flat belly does not have any bomb load, but there is an additional canoe-shaped radome nearly five meters long, and a large bag bulges at the top of the vertical tail, which is an updated electronic warfare aircraft modified by the United States on the basis of the F-111 bomber!

Due to the rapid aging of Douglas's EB-66 electronic warfare aircraft in the skies over North Vietnam, which led to the rapid retirement of this electronic warfare aircraft, in order to meet the needs of electronic warfare, the US Air Force tried to modify this new type of EF-111 Raven electronic jammer!

The Raven electronic jammer of the 366TFW squadron is the latest model that has just been put into service, and 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 filled the entire airspace, and all electronic devices within a radius of hundreds of kilometers were suddenly interfered with!

In the distance, at the Iraqi long-range radar station on the border line, a snowflake 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!" The commander of the radar station on the side shouted.

Activate anti-jamming measures! The radar soldier adjusts all kinds of knobs, hoping that the snowflakes on the screen will disappear, but it is useless, this antique long-range radar provided by the Soviet Union, the means of electronic countermeasures are not high!

Time passed little by little, and two F-16 fighters flying at an ultra-low altitude dropped MK82 bombs on this long-range radar station, and in the column of smoke raised by the bombs, this long-range radar station was destroyed in an instant.

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

At the Shubya Air Base, sharp sirens sounded, and the Iraqi pilots, who had received the order, quickly ran towards their own fighters.

Although the order from the higher authorities had just come down, they had a premonition that war was approaching, and the atmosphere in the air base was always tense, and all kinds of fighters were ready to be dispatched at any time.

And now, with the sound of sirens, the fighters began to be towed out of the hangar and into the end of the runway.

"The falcon asks to take off." There was some irrepressible excitement in Reyer's heart, the day he was looking forward to had finally arrived!

In the past, when he fought with Iran, Reyer was training in the modification of the MiG-25 and did not participate in the war, and when he fought Kuwait, although Reyer also took off, it is a pity that there is no opponent at all, because the Kuwaiti Air Force is too weak!

Only now, the real opponent has arrived!

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

Reyes opened the throttle at full throttle, and in the blazing flames at the tail, the MiG-25 fighter quickly taxied and took off.

The MiG-25, which did not hesitate to consume fuel at all and was fully fueled, broke through the sound barrier during the climb and continued to accelerate towards the west.

Behind Reyer, one after another MiG-25s followed and took off.

As a fighter capable of flying up to Mach 3, the MiG-25 is definitely not outdated! Moreover, the Iraqi MiG-25, only two years after equipping the troops, was upgraded with updated electronics and missiles with the help of the USSR! All of this makes Reyes full of confidence.

Climbing to an altitude of 20,000 meters, Reyer turned on the radar.

Snowflakes kept appearing on the screen, the electronic jamming of the Americans was quite strong, and they flipped multiple switches, and finally, the snowflakes faded, and countless bright spots could be seen, and the fighters of the American Air Force had invaded Iraq's airspace!

Distance eighty, speed zero eight, lock on to target, two missiles, two seconds apart, launch! This kind of action, which I did countless times during training, can now finally be used on the battlefield!

Reyes felt a tremor in the airframe, and then, under the wings on both sides, the heavy R-33 missiles flew out!

The R-33 missile, which was originally the killer weapon of the MiG-31, was mounted four under the belly, but with the progress of the R-37 development, the R-33 is no longer an extremely secret missile, and if Iraq wants to gain an advantage over NATO as a whole, it is not possible not to export advanced weapons.

Therefore, under the impetus of Andrei, the Iraqi Air Force has this immortal birdsky, but on the MiG-31, it is equipped with a phased array radar, which has a multi-target attack capability, and on the MiG-25, although the flat slit radar is improved, it is still only capable of hitting one target.

Shoot at eighty kilometers, only the Tomcat fighters of the US Navy have such capabilities!

And the target that Reyes is aiming at is a slow F-16 fighter!

Although the F-16 under the guidance of the energy maneuver theory has excellent air combat capabilities, even surpassing 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 allowed to shine in air combat, then Congress may cut the F-15 budget and let the Air Force equip the F-15 with cheaper F-15!

So, the F-16 fighter jet, which belongs to the 354th Wing of the U.S. Air Force, was on a ground-attack mission, with bombs under its wings and a target at an air base in Basra, southern Iraq.

Because of the heavy bomb loaded, its energy maneuver theory has become empty talk, and the increased drag makes it impossible for it to fly at supersonic speed at all, so it can only drag the burden step by step and slowly fly forward, at the same time, in order not to burn out the fuel on the return trip, it is now flying at a cruising altitude of 5,000 meters, and what they can rely on is the protection of their own electronic jamming aircraft, as well as the early warning aircraft in the rear and their own electronic countermeasures.
