Chapter 546: Kill the Hawk Air Defense Position

readx;

At the same time, at a low altitude of only 80 meters above the ground, the fighters of the air force of Iraq's Northern Military Region were flying towards the anti-aircraft missile positions that posed the greatest threat to them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info≦≧

At a distance of 40 kilometers from the opposing position, the pilot of the F-20 fighter activated the seeker of the Mozu anti-radiation Shè missile mounted under the wing.

At this time, the radar of the Hawker missile was still spinning, and countless electromagnetic pulse signals filled the surrounding airspace, and the seeker of the Mozu missile immediately locked onto the target.

Then, the F-20 began to accelerate and climb at the same time, the fire flashed under the wings, and a Mozu missile, detached from the launcher, flew towards its target.

This kind of missile, which is improved on the basis of the body of the Sparrow missile, has a range of more than 40 kilometers and attacks a fixed target, so it can actually be regarded as a weapon issued outside the defense area.

After firing the missile, the F-20 fighter plane dived into a low altitude again, and at the same time cruised outside the defense area, ready to relaunch the missile at any time, while the Su-25 fighter following the rear continued to approach the target from a low altitude. ≦≧

The Su-25 frog foot is a subsonic single-seat strike aircraft developed by the Soviet Union, which was developed in 1968, made its first flight in February 1975, and was widely used in the Afghan battlefield. With an empty weight of 9.5 and a maximum bomb load of 4.4 tons, it can carry out combat missions at an altitude of 30~5000 meters. As a front-line attack aircraft, this thick-skinned fighter can take off and land on airstrips close to the front line to carry out close-range combat support missions; Strong anti-tank capability, "Whirlwind" anti-tank missiles can be mounted under the wings, with a range of 10 kilometers and can penetrate armor 1000 mm thick; The low-altitude maneuver Xing has good ability, and can cooperate with the Mi-24 armed helicopter at low altitude under the condition of bomb loading, and cooperate with the ground forces in combat; The protection is strong, and there are 24 mm thick titanium alloy bulletproof plates at the bottom of the cockpit and around it.

In history, until the Chechen wars of later generations, the Su-25 and its various modifications were put into real combat. Although the illegal armed forces have obtained advanced US and British individual air defense missiles such as "Stinger" and "Starburst" from abroad, they have never shot down a Su-25 fighter plane.

Therefore, this kind of front-line fighter was favored by Qusay, and it was taken over in the last arms sales project with the Soviet Union to replace the outdated Su-22 attack aircraft equipped in the Iraqi Air Force. ≦≧ and the Soviet Union urgently needed to get Iraqi money. So, this fighter was quickly delivered to Iraq, and Iraq switched from the Su-22 to the pilots of this aircraft. Also because of the simplicity of this kind of strong attack machine, it is easy to master the essentials of cāo, and become familiar with the xing ability of the fighter and the cāo of various weapons. The support of ground crews is also fully compatible with the existing Soviet equipment fighters such as MiG-21 and MiG-23, so this fighter will soon have combat capability at incredible speed.

The only drawback is that for the time being, there is no time to modify it according to the wishes of His Excellency Qusay, and introduce a full set of Western avionics to make the attack capability of this attack aircraft more powerful.

Two Su-25s formed a two-plane formation and entered from an ultra-low altitude of only fifty meters. Fly even lower than the F-20, and by design, such an aircraft can fly to ultra-low altitudes up to 30 meters above the ground.

The radar of the Hawk anti-aircraft missile is still turning, and without knowing it, a catastrophe is coming.

Although this air defense missile system claims to have a great interception capability against ultra-low-flying targets, in actual combat, the interception capability of this medium-range surface-to-air missile is not high. ≦≧ otherwise, there would not have been joint operations with short-range anti-aircraft missiles in later generations.

The radar cāo worker was looking at the screen with his eyes not daring to blink, and suddenly, from the screen, he noticed a point of light.

"Attention. There are enemy aircraft. The radar cāo worker suddenly felt a burst of joy in his heart, and it was finally his turn to exert his power. Because there was no interception of Iraq's ballistic missiles. The superiors have already expressed their dissatisfaction with them, and this time, they must shoot down the other party's plane!

"The azimuth is 3-2-1, the distance is fifteen, and the height is two hundred." The radar cāo officer shouted.

At this time, the radar found the Mozu anti-radiation shè missile, since they had not encountered the anti-spoke shè missile on the battlefield, so, did not find the difference from the echo, although this target was very fast, and, after approaching fifteen kilometers, it was captured by their radar, they only thought that this was an Iraqi low-altitude penetration aircraft, but then, the commander of the missile company found the problem, if this is an aircraft, the speed is too fast, right? With Mach 2 at all, what kind of aircraft can reach such speeds at such low altitudes? Sail at low altitude and high speed, and it is not low to be able to exceed Mach 1. ≦≧

Compared with Iran's fierce air force, the personnel of the air defense forces are much less professional, and the radar crews who were once trained in the United States have been sent to prison during the initial revolution, and the current personnel are trained in the future, with little experience, and they do not distinguish between fighters and missiles.

"That's a missile!" The commander of the missile company reminded.

The radar crew suddenly felt that his brain was bigger, why was it another missile?

At this time, from the echo, he found two more points of light, less than twenty kilometers away from him, and they were rapidly approaching.

"Two more goals."

"Lock on to the target and immediately launch shè missiles!" The company commander was a little furious, the other party's arrival was too fast, too close, so that they couldn't react at all, and the other party seemed to be coming specifically for them. ≦≧

The triple missile fired and turned to the target, and then, the radar successfully locked on to one of the low-speed targets behind it, and with a flash of fire, one missile dragged the tongue of fire and flew into the sky.

At this moment, the anti-radiation shè missile had already flown in front of the radar, and the fragmentation kill warhead was finally detonated. This steel fragment is glued into a ring with epoxy resin, the total number of fragments reaches 20,000 pieces, each piece weighs 0.85g, under the power of explosives, the fragmentation speed reaches 7947m/s, relying on this powerful kinetic energy, this scattered fragments blow up the radar antenna into a pile of rotten iron, and penetrates into the command post without armor protection next to it, and several cāo personnel, including the missile company commander, are blown into a blur of flesh and blood.

When this missile company was deployed, the radar vehicle and the command post were too close together.

The missiles that had already been sent into the sky lost their radar and immediately lost their targets.

At the same time, at the place where the missile warhead exploded just now, a puff of red smoke rose, which is a dedicated red phosphorus smoke warhead, in addition to killing and injuring the enemy by fragments, a puff of red smoke that can last for 24 hours will be raised in order to indicate the target for subsequent attacks.

The slow-moving Su-25 attack plane finally came to the anti-aircraft missile position with the radar smashed at an ultra-low altitude, and the pilot saw the red smoke below, and began to use his own optical aiming device, firing at the missiles erected on the ground, and dropping the bombs he carried on the Iranians who were fighting the fire.

Hearing the plane flying overhead, the fighters of the Iranian air defense forces below were extremely angry, they picked up their automatic rifles and slammed into the sky, but these were all in vain, and the pilot of the Su-25 attack plane, Cāo, with a 30mm double-barreled cannon on the left side of the landing gear in front of the belly, swept towards the Iranians, and the Iranian servicemen who were hit by the 30mm cannon shells were immediately broken in two.

At the same time, bloody scenes were staged on various air defense positions on the outskirts of Tehran, and the Iraqi Air Force destroyed a total of four Iranian missile firing positions and three anti-aircraft artillery positions on the periphery, without losing a single aircraft.

The first day of fighting was over, Iraq only launched this airstrike, nothing else, and Iran's top brass held an emergency meeting to discuss the current situation.

"Today, the Iraqi Air Force launched an attack on us, and the intensity of the attack is unprecedented, and we need to judge whether it is a whim of Iraq or a prelude to a large-scale offensive that they are preparing to launch." Rafsanjani said.

"Now, on our periphery, there is no shadow of the Iraqi army at all, they have not massed on a large scale, so I think that this is just an ordinary air strike, and Iraq will not attack until next year." This was stated by the Minister of the Revolutionary Guards, Mohsin Rafiq.

"Just because we didn't find Iraqi troops doesn't mean they don't exist." Prime Minister Hussein Mousavi said calmly.

"What do you mean?" Mohsin was a little upset.

"Today, Iraq's air strikes are so intense that we can't take off fighter planes for half a month, and they have knocked out almost all of our anti-aircraft firepower, and I'm afraid that in the next step, they will send a large number of troops to attack us. Could it be that the Iraqi Air Force is just here to fly around Tehran? The prime minister asked.

"It's very easy for their air force to fly, but it's very difficult for their ground forces to attack, because the offensive of their armored forces requires a lot of logistical consumption, and Iraq can't afford to continue the offensive now." Mohsin said.

"Their logistical consumption is very large, but they have already occupied our Hamadan and other places, and they do not necessarily have to transport supplies from the rear, food and other materials, and they can be supplied nearby, and we must not treat the Iraqis on the other side with conventional thinking, because their commander is Qusay-Abdullah!"

The Prime Minister's words were like a blow to the head, waking up all the people, who already knew that the power of Iraq was currently in the hands of this demon, including directing the offensive of the northern army.
