Chapter 813: Revenge for the Navy
Please re-watch it after 7 o'clock, I'm very sorry!
The layout of the full-motion flat-tailed, single-tail, single-engine, huge belly air intake, and wing-body fusion is parked on the runway by Israel's most advanced and one of the most advanced fighters in the world: the F16 Fighting Falcon. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Sitting in the wide bubble cockpit, Zeyve-Raz "lay" on the flight seat, carefully checking all the instruments.
Raz was the commander of the 117 fighter squadron and began to fly the F16, and Raz immediately liked this kind of aircraft, compared to the F4 ghost that flew before, one was a Mercedes-Benz BMW on the highway, and the other was a walk-behind tractor on the farm.
Unlike all fighters, the F16 is the first to adopt a sidestick layout, the steering stick is not between the legs, but on the right side, plus the seat leaning back thirty degrees, which is enough to ensure that the aircraft can be more easily controlled in the case of large overloads, the static instability design and the four-degree fly-by-wire control system make this fighter very flexible, and the combat ability of the approach range is very excellent, however, this mission is bombing, not fighting with MiG fighters.
After the check, Raz released the brakes, gently pushed the throttle with his left hand, and slid towards the track.
After aligning the runway, Raz checked all the instruments again, waiting for the tower's instructions.
"Pap, papa, pap," three red flares, emitting beautiful light in the sky.
The powerful F100-PW-100 turbofan engine spewed out lilac flames, the afterburner was already open, and the powerful thrust of 111 kN allowed the Fighting Falcon to begin to accelerate on the runway.
Raz likes this feeling, he feels a strong thrust on his back, the runway around him is getting faster and faster, on the head-up display, the speed has reached more than 300 kilometers per hour, Raz uses his right hand forcefully, pulls the steering stick back, and suddenly, all the scenery leaves his sight, and the fighter plane rises from the ground and pierces the sky.
Under the belly and wings, three large auxiliary fuel tanks were hung, and under the two wings, two 908-kilogram bombs were mounted, and the wingtips were two Sidewinder missiles.
Immediately behind Raz, seven F16s and six F15s took off in turn, formed a formation over the airfield, and flew east.
Eight F16 fighters, the 117th Fighter Squadron and the 110th Fighter Squadron, the operation was codenamed "String" and "Chisel" two groups, and the commanders were Lieutenant Colonel Raz and Lieutenant Colonel Amir Nahumi. Six F15 fighters, belonging to the 133rd Fighter Squadron, led by Colonel Bahari, were responsible for covering the bombing mission and preventing the attacks of Iraqi fighters.
Operation Babylon, which shocked the world, is about to begin!
Since Iraq has been steadfast in its nuclear programme, Israel has struggled to sleep on it.
For historical reasons, Israel and the surrounding Arab countries are on the same page, and since the founding of the state, a total of four wars have broken out in the Middle East, although each time Israel has won the victory, expanding the size of the country several times. Including the current air base, it was all robbed. For the survival of the Jews, this can only be done. However, the price paid by Israel for this is also enormous, and countless Jewish men, one after another, have fallen on the battlefield.
The sworn enemy Iraq, which has been developing a nuclear program since the seventies, introduced from Italy and France a plutonium separation plant and an Osirak research reactor for the manufacture of nuclear weapons. The arrogant Iraqi President Saddam Hussein declared: The Arab nation will not be weak forever, and they will fight back to the Jewish invaders once and for all at the right time!
Since two years ago, the Israeli Air Force has been preparing to bomb the Osrak reactor, which is being built 32 kilometers southeast of Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, at the right time!
However, the main model at that time was the F4, this kind of fighter, the range is too short, can not reach Baghdad a thousand kilometers away, last year, the United States finally sold the latest F16 fighter to Israel, Israel was overjoyed, immediately sent pilots to receive, after returning, the most important thing is long-distance flight training.
For this bombing mission, they have been preparing for more than a year, during which they have also infiltrated the painstaking efforts of Prime Minister Begin, Air Force Commander General Avery and others.
Israel does not share a border with Iraq, separated by Syria, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, and in order to pass through these hostile countries without being detected, as early as a few months ago, several F4 Phantom fighter jets were constantly scanning these areas to find loopholes in the other side's airspace, and finally, it was decided to fly over at an ultra-low altitude from the junction of the Jordanian and Saudi borders, enter from western Iraq, and go straight to the Osrak reactor in the southern suburbs of Baghdad.
In order to confuse each other as much as possible, the planes were painted in the standard livery of the Jordanian Air Force. Moreover, when entering the border between Jordan and Saudi Arabia, it flew low all the way.
After the group lifted off, Raz pushed the joystick to the right, and at the same time, with his right foot on the rudder, a moderate force feedback was transmitted from the fly-by-wire operating system, and the fuselage rotated and flew to the right.
It turns out that the F4 ghost fighter is a hydraulic control system, at low altitude, the air density is large, the relative resistance is large, you need to press more rods, and the force on your hand must be larger, and at high altitude, the air is thin, you need to press less, and the force on your hand is also correspondingly smaller. And this F16, thanks to the advanced electronics industry in the United States, has been changed to fly-by-wire control, specifically, the joystick is a sensor, through the computer to the aircraft to issue commands, this control method, high altitude and low altitude, the joystick is the same quality, greatly reducing the difficulty of use.
The westerly wind was strong and it was supposed to bypass the Gulf of Aqaba, but before it could react, the group of planes had already flown over the Gulf of Aqaba.
After the group entered the airspace over Saudi Arabia, it lowered its altitude to 60 meters to avoid Saudi radar surveillance.
For a fighter flying fast at Mach 0.7 (Mach 1 is 1 times the speed of sound, 340 meters per second), flying at such a low altitude is almost like dancing with death, but for a fighter pilot, this kind of training is often carried out.
Since the earth is a curved surface, and the radar beam propagates in a straight line, to avoid the radar, that is, the lower the better, and the earth will play a very good role in shading. Now that the location of the opponent's long-range warning radar has been discovered, and there is a low altitude as a cover, the probability of being detected is very low.
Fly at ultra-low altitudes to cover your own actions. (To be continued.) )
