Anti-daoban chapter, look after seven o'clock. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

17 June 1981, 3.50 p.m., Achion Air Base, Sinai Peninsula.

The delta wing, with a full-motion flat-tailed, single-vertical tail, single-engine, huge belly air intake, and wing-body fusion layout, is parked on the runway is Israel's most advanced and one of the most advanced fighters in the world: the F16 Fighting Falcon.

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 30 degrees, which is enough to ensure that the aircraft can be more easily controlled in the case of large overloads, the static unstable 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, were 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 attack 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 to carry out 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 each other's airspace, and finally, it was decided to fly 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 issue commands to the aircraft, this control method, high altitude and low altitude, the joystick is the same quality, greatly reducing the difficulty of use.

Flying at ultra-low altitudes to cover up one's actions is already a common tactic in the Air Force, and the solution is not nothing, the simplest is to move the radar into the sky, that is, an AWACS aircraft.

Simple is easy, however, it is very difficult to implement. After the radar goes up to the sky, stand high, see far away, and see the situation of the terrain at a glance,

In this regard, it is still the most technologically developed in the United States, and the fleet of aircraft attacks nuclear reactors,

You can almost see the yellow sand on the ground, surrounded by sand dunes of the same color. In this case, just like flying at sea level, it is easy to hallucinate, and if you are not careful, the plane will be destroyed and people will die. The way to overcome it is through rigorous training. Those who participated in this operation were the elite of pilots and had participated in several air combat operations.

Eight F16 fighters, lined up in a tight formation, in this case, even if detected by long-range radar, can be mistaken for a large aircraft.
