Chapter 580: Seized air supremacy

The battle between the Su-25 and the AH-1 gunship was not long, after flying, several Su-25 helicopters launched R-60 air-to-air missiles, hitting two helicopters, and after that, the rest of the helicopters took advantage of this opportunity to fly far, the helicopters flew very low, and some even flew close to the dunes, which made the Su-25 attack aircraft unable to perform.

However, their focus is not on these gunships, but on the American M1 main battle tanks in front!

Compared with gunships, attack aircraft are more suitable for dealing with main battle tanks, because attack aircraft have strong armor and attack power, which can be called flying tanks!

When the Su-25 attack aircraft flew towards the American tank formation, the American tank troops instantly fell into a panic, and their anti-aircraft machine guns fired into the sky, but they could not stop the flying anti-tank missiles!

"Boom!" An M1 tank was hit on the top by an incoming anti-tank missile, and the weak top armor was blown up in an instant, and the entire tank burst into flames.

"Boom!" In the explosions one after another, the M1 tanks were destroyed one by one, and the Americans were completely chilled!

Suddenly, a burst of fire burst out of the ground, and the mechized infantry behind them got out of the armored car, picked up portable anti-aircraft missiles, and fired into the sky.

"Boom!" This Stinger anti-aircraft missile successfully hit a flying Su-25 in the sky, and the engine on the side of the Su-25 attack aircraft instantly emitted smoke, but soon, the smoke disappeared.

Leaning on the engine on the other side, the Su-25 was still flying tenaciously, leaving the battlefield to the north and heading back.

An attack aircraft is a flying tank! The ability to resist blows is also quite strong!

When their Su-25 attack aircraft finished throwing ammunition and flew away from the battlefield, all that was left for Ali's armored troops was to clean up the battlefield! Most of the tanks of the Americans were destroyed, and the rest were fleeing in confusion!

By this time, it was close to noon, the scorching sun was scorching the earth, and the desert was scorching with heat.

The powerful Iraqi armored forces have routed the US Army and continue to advance towards Riyadh!

The fact that attack aircraft were able to reach the battlefield to support shows a truth, that is, the air supremacy in northern Saudi Arabia has been mastered by the Iraqi Air Force!

Almost like a battle on the ground, the Saudi Air Force is unfought! In the last air battle, Reyer's MiG-25 fought with the Americans' F-15, but it was shot down mercilessly, and today, Reyer's MiG-25 continues to fight with the F-15, but it is replaced by the Saudis, but the result is a one-sided victory! Reyer, who rushed up, attacked head-on, shot down one with a medium-range missile, and then, in close combat, wounded another F-15!

After Reyer's squadron returned, fighting continued on other fronts, with Iraqi fighters taking off from Iraqi and Kuwaiti airfields penetrating deep into northern Saudi Arabia and engaging Saudi air forces that had come to intercept them.

They used to be brothers, but now they have become mortal enemies! All this is a conspiracy of the Americans! Fighters in front-line air battles, they don't have to worry about why they are fighting, they just need to kill the enemy planes in front.

Although the Saudi Air Force was supported by AWACS aircraft, the result was still one-sided.

On this day, the Iraqi Air Force won a complete victory, but it was not Reyer, who was about to reach the ace, who shot down the most enemy planes, but another young pilot in the Iraqi Air Force, Arslan.

Arslan Edward ibn Zaid, only 18 years old this year, but is already a veteran of 300 hours of jet flying experience, at the age of 14, he changed his age and entered the Iraqi Air Force, as the son of a famous family born in Iraq: the Zayed family, Arslan's experience is comparable to that of Reyer.

Originally, Arslan flew the MiG-23, but last year, with the signing of an agreement between Saddam Hussein and the Soviet Union and the introduction of the latest MiG-29 fighters, Arslan also changed and went to the Soviet Union to fly the latest fighters!

It was only ten days before the outbreak of this war that Arslan completed all his training subjects and became a qualified pilot of the MiG-29, and he participated in the current battle almost after flying the fighter plane directly back from the Soviet Union!

As for the first batch of MiG-29 fighters ordered by Iraq, so far, there are only five qualified pilots, and the rest are flown by Soviet instructors, and the ground crew is almost half of the Soviets, and this kind of fighter is well maintained.

Relying on excellent performance, at a long distance, Arslan launched two R-27 missiles, namely infrared guidance and radar guidance models, and when flying halfway through, the radar-guided model suddenly failed, and the infrared-guided missile hit a Saudi aircraft.

After that, the MiG-29 entered the Saudi fleet, using helmet sights and large off-axis combat bombs, Arslan hunted Saudi fighters, Saudi pilots shouted in panic on the radio, the training received in the United States for many years did not come in handy at all, just like that, Arslan used four R-73 missiles in close combat, shot down two and damaged one! The result of this single sortie made Arslan a dazzling new star in the Iraqi Air Force!

At the same time, the Soviet-made MiG-29 fighter is also famous because of this battle, you know, in the eyes of the Western world, the MiG-29 should be a low-grade aircraft corresponding to the F-16! And now, this low-grade aircraft has actually beaten the F-15 fighters, the main force of the Americans, all over the ground!

If they knew that the Iraqi pilot in the opposite plane was not yet twenty years old, he would definitely be so depressed that he would vomit blood, and besides, except for this excellent MiG-29, the results of the shooting down of the rest of the MiG-29 were actually the result of the Soviet instructors flying inside. The air force of the big dog did not lose unjustly at all.

After the Saudi Air Force fled in embarrassment like chopping melons and vegetables, the Iraqi Air Force gained air supremacy over the northern Riyadh to Kuwait region, and then Su-25 attack planes began to be dispatched to deal with the American ground forces.

Everything went incredibly smoothly. On the other side of the ocean, the sky is still dark, but the high-level US officials in the White House have not slept all night.

"We have to use nuclear weapons to save the situation." A voice said coldly: "Our Prince Sultan airbase has been destroyed, the losses have exceeded our expectations, and the Iraqis have completely challenged our bottom line!" (To be continued.) )
