Chapter 777: Phantom F1 takes off

Leo Grande Naval Aviation Base, here, the atmosphere of the big war is a little tense, and at the same time, the Argentine air force is also excited, this sortie, they will create brilliance again!

Last time, the British's special forces attacked their own Port Stanley Air Base, which led to the explosion of the Super Flag fighter there, and learned the lesson of the last time, the Argentines hid their killer weapon, and did not deploy the newly purchased Mirage F1 fighter at Stanley Air Force Base, but deployed in the Argentine air base, with a high degree of secrecy, and a large number of soldiers stationed there, so there will be no accident of being attacked by the British last time.

Major Augustus climbed the gangway into his cockpit, and the ground crew followed, helped him fasten his seatbelt, checked that the canopy was locked, and then descended the gangway.

Augustus skillfully started the engine, and the cockpit interface of this fighter was almost the same as the Super Flag he originally piloted, making it easy for him to get started, and at the same time, as a veteran pilot, after flying five takeoffs and landings, he had already mastered the handling characteristics of this fighter.

It can be said that if he is allowed to fly the Mirage F1 now and fight with the enemy's air superiority fighters, then he still owes the fire, and he will not be able to meet the requirements of the fighting without hundreds of sorties, but now he just wants to fly the fighter and throw missiles from a distance, so it will be easy to complete.

On his side, the wingman was also ready to attack, but the wingman pilot was not his original friend Amando, but a Middle Eastern with thick eyebrows and big eyes, this Middle Easterner had a clean beard, and before getting on the plane, he also prayed, and he was a devout believer. However, Augustus knew that this guy was a veteran of flying! Just a few days ago, when he had doubts about the performance of the Mirage F1 fighter, this guy piloted the Mirage F1 and completely conquered his own people with a series of maneuvers! There are some actions that even Augustus can't do so beautifully!

At the same time, this take-off, this guy is also the same as himself, mounted a Exocet missile under the belly, however, this guy's fighter, in addition to the Exocet missile, also mounted two additional pods, these two pods are quite mysterious, after being transported to the base here, it is guarded by a group of special people, idle people are not allowed to approach at all, only Augustus such a flying ace, only vaguely know that these two pods are electronic jamming pods specially aimed at the British air defense system!

In other words, with the protection of this thing, you can be safer and not be attacked by Sea Javelin missiles on the warships of the British! In addition to the pod, this guy's fighter also carries two medium-range "Matra" super 530 missiles and two magic air-to-air missiles, which is almost the maximum bomb load.

The engines were started, the radio was called, and after permission was obtained, the twin engines turned on the afterburner and took off from the runway.

Behind them, the Mirage F1 twin aircraft are in formation, constantly taking off! This time, 20 Mirage F1s were introduced, and in addition to two that broke down and are still being repaired, the remaining 18 Mirage F1s have almost all taken off! 18 Exocet anti-ship missiles are the biggest gift to the British Navy!

After takeoff, the fighter plane climbed high, burrowed into the clouds, and flew towards the vast sea.

In the scheduled airspace, a KC-130 air tanker was already flying on the scheduled route, and two Mirage F1s, which took off first, carefully leaned on the refueling pipe, stabilized on the refueling cone that was shaking around, and accepted air refueling, at this time, there were still a hundred kilometers from the Falklands, and nearly five hundred kilometers from the British aircraft carrier formation.

The range of the Mirage F1 is much greater than that of the Super Banner, so after refueling in the air, you can easily pounce on the target!

At the same time, at the Port Stanley Air Force Base on the Falklands, on the repaired runway, one after another A-4 Skyhawk attack planes also took off, and under their wings, ordinary free-fall bombs were mounted.

After all, Exocet missiles are valuable, and they also need precise guidance, so these ordinary A-4 attack aircraft can only carry the most ordinary aerial bombs, similar to the World War II period, to attack the enemy!

They follow behind the formation of the Mirage F-1, and when the Mirage F1 launches Exocet missiles, they will follow these Exocet missiles, pounce in the direction of the British carrier, and then launch a dive attack!

Of course, most likely, this is their last combat voyage. However, they have nothing to fear! Their own cruiser was sunk, hundreds of people died at sea, this blood debt, must be recovered from the British!

The Argentine aviation is indomitable! A large group of dozens of fighters flew towards the direction of the British's aircraft carrier formation!

If you observe now, you can find that there is a very peculiar phenomenon in the Argentine sortie formation, they are all attack aircraft, and there are no escort fighters at all!

Even during World War II, if you want to bomb the opponent's military targets, you must have fighter escorts! When the Germans bombed London, the air force suffered heavy losses because the long-range fighters at that time did not have enough range, and as a result, the bomber group could only face the threat alone, and suffered heavy casualties.

And now, in sortie formations of the Argentines, there are no fighters at all!

First of all, this is because until now, the Argentine Air Force has not had a decent special air supremacy fighter that can be used, and if there is, the Mirage F1 is already the most advanced fighter in the hands of the Argentine Air Force. And the other reason is that this sortie really doesn't need air supremacy fighters. Because the British navy does not have a decent air superiority fighter, the Sea Harrier can only be equipped with Sidewinder missiles, and the nose is equipped with a "Blue Fox" radar that makes the British blow out, in fact, this radar is only a development of the "Wave" radar of the Westland "Lynx" carrier-based helicopter, and the derivative of this helicopter radar is simply incomparable with the high-performance PD radar of modern fighters.

The Falklands War in history made the Sea Harrier shine, and he did not lose any of them, but killed 21 Argentine fighters, and this result should not be given to the Sea Harrier, but to the AIM-9L omnidirectional combat missile carried on the Sea Harrier.

If the Argentine Navy had such a Su-27 at that time, the British Navy would have been beaten all over the ground, and all those sea harriers would have to become chickens in the soup.

When he was still 250 kilometers away from the target, Augustus, as the commander of the formation, once again received the target bearing data sent from the rear, redetermined the course, and then, the entire formation, lowered its altitude, and entered the ultra-low-altitude attack route!
