"The falcon reported that the eagle had spotted an unidentified plane, flying in the middle of the Persian Gulf, heading 3-2-2, at a speed of 450, eighty kilometers away from our plane, most likely the other party's course was the port of Dammam," Rayer reported. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧

Hearing the report, the command staff in the rear immediately became nervous.

There was a problem where the situation should never have been, where did that unidentified plane come from? American's? Or Iran's? What are you flying here for?

"Pay close attention to the direction of the opponent's flight and be ready to shoot down at any time." Ground commanded.

From that direction, it is flying towards the port of Dammam again, and the other side is most likely Iranian fighters! Could it be that because of the escort of the defense forces on the peninsula, Iran already wants to make a move against them?

"Yes." Hearing the order of the ground personnel, Reyes immediately got ready, adjusted the fire control radar to the single-target tracking mode, and prepared to guide the Super Matra air-to-air missiles mounted under his wings.

At the same time, a missile under the belly of the aircraft has been activated and is ready to be launched at any time.

Flight 155, still flying, had no idea that they would be in danger of being shot down at any time.

"The falcon reports that the eagle is ready to launch, and requests a lock-on attack!" Reyes said. ≦≧ the distance between the two sides is approaching rapidly, and it will soon reach a distance where missiles can be launched.

Reyer's heartbeat began to speed up a little, this was the first time that the Mirage 4000 had entered combat mode, and the first result to shoot down was created by him.

However, he can be sure that the other side should not be the pride of the Iranian Air Force, F-14 fighters, if the other side had this kind of aircraft, they would have launched missiles at this distance a long time ago, but now, the other side has not made any movement, and moreover, it has not done any evasive flight. Proof didn't find himself at all.

Most likely, this is a bomber of the Iranian Air Force?

"You can lock down the attack." The ground personnel gave the order, and at this time, they had already found out that in that airspace, there were no activities of their own fighters, and there were no civilian airliners.

"Yes." Reye replied, then. Two of the buttons in the row on the right were pressed.

A characteristic radar pulse signal. flew to the plane opposite, I'm afraid that at this time, those negligent pilots will know. You're locked out, aren't you?

Reyer looked at the signal on his radar screen, and maybe the next moment. ≦≧ the other party began to maneuver to avoid flying.

However, under the attack of the Mirage 4000's radar and Super Matra missiles, the other side has no possibility of escaping at all.

The fire control system has completed all the preparations, and the next moment, as long as Reye presses the button on the steering stick, the missile, with green smoke from the belly of the aircraft, will fly to the opposite side and knock the opponent down.

But. Reyer stopped, he didn't press the button, because, he felt, something was wrong.

If it was really the plane of the Iranians, it is impossible that until now, it has not found itself, right? The other side sailed too smoothly. Not like a fighter, but a bomber? Reyer thought about it in his head, but couldn't find a reason to confirm it.

Most likely, the other side is not a military aircraft of the Iranians! The friend or foe identifier indicates that the other party is not your own aircraft, but. If it is a fighter of the Iranians, it is definitely not so stupid! So. The rest of the possibility is that this is a Trek airliner!

If you mistakenly wreck a civil airliner, even if it's a passenger plane

The domineering emperor is the whole book

It's Iranian, and there will be big trouble.

However, civil airliners are guided by air traffic controllers, and there are few deviations from the flight, so is there a problem?

However, the risk of shooting down a civilian airliner was greater, and Reyes decided to take a risk himself. ≦≧ if the other party is really an Iranian fighter plane, it is not locked on to itself now, which makes Reyer feel a little impossible.

"The falcon reported to the eagle, and the opposing plane did not react, asking to get close to observe, asking to get close to observe." Reyes said.

"You can get up close and observe." Ground replied.

After getting the answer, Reyer drove the plane to continue to fly forward, which is dangerous, because, although as the war progresses, the Iranian Air Force's valuable fighters are consumed a lot, and the consumption of air-to-air missiles is also a lot, but it really meets an opponent, for example, a Tomcat fighter with only short-range missiles, he will fight with the other party, and in close-range combat, all Iraqi fighters are not opponents, but the Mirage 4000 is an exception.

Reyer is confident that even if it is a MiG-25 suitable for high altitude and high speed, he will exert his maximum power, not to mention this kind of heavy air superiority fighter that is already very agile, and Reyer firmly believes that if it is the Iranian fighter that comes, then it is time to write another stroke for his record.

Open afterburner! Hasten! The moment he broke through the sound barrier, Reyer felt a sound boom from outside the cockpit. ≦≧

Over the Persian Gulf, a delta-wing fighter plane quickly swept through the sky and flew towards the intended target.

The radar was adjusted to S mode by Reyes again, and the data of distance, altitude, and speed were quickly refreshed, and Reyes followed the direction of the radar and visually searched the surrounding airspace.

In modern air combat, over-the-horizon air combat has long been entered, and the application of medium-range air-to-air missiles can shoot down the opponent without seeing the target.

However, this in turn leads to a very serious problem: the identification of targets.

Are those light spots on the radar the enemy, or are they fighters on their own side? If the other party's transponder answers correctly, it is a friendly aircraft, if it does not answer, it is an enemy aircraft, so there are many mistakes in it, for example, if the opponent's transponder fails, then it will be misjudged as an enemy aircraft.

Moreover, civil airliners will not be equipped with friend or foe identifiers. Although the routes of civil airliners are fixed, and they are all controlled by ground personnel, there will still be accidents.

So, Reyes was very careful not to recklessly launch missiles directly, but carefully to observe closely. ≦≧

Finally, in the radar-indicated directions, Reyes saw two white smoke bands in the distant sky, which were left by the jumbo jet at cruising altitude.

That's you! At this time, the altitude was 13,000 meters, and he pushed down the lever and closed the throttle.

The Phantom 4000 swooped down from the sky and pursued in the direction of the smoke belt.

Within a minute, the Mirage 4000 had found the source of the white smoke: it was a large plane, sailing leisurely in the sky, with a wide fuselage and an engine under each wing, at this altitude, it was the zone where wake could easily form, and two white belts were pulled in the sky behind it, and the row of portholes could be seen on the fuselage.

Looking at the words sprayed on the airliner again, Reyer felt that this time he was too lucky, or rather, the people on this airliner were too lucky, they were almost killed by themselves in the sky.

"Falcon reports Eagle, it's a passenger plane." Reyes said on the radio, "The visual model is Iran Air's A300. ”

Later, an order came over the radio: "This airliner has yawed, its destination is in Dubai, direct it to the correct course." ”

"Falcon received." This cruise became a guide for a lost passenger plane.

Reyes pushed the throttle again, accelerated, and approached the large airliner as he tuned the radio to the public channel.

The Iranian passengers in the airliner were looking out the window when suddenly, in their sight, a plane appeared.

Allah is above, what is that? The passenger leaning against the window looked at the fighter jet and let out a boo.

However, when they saw the Iraqi flag sprayed on the tail of the opposing plane, their hearts suddenly became nervous, that plane was a fighter plane of the Iraqi Air Force, what did they want to do to themselves?

Reyer gently shook the lever from side to side, and the Mirage 4000 swung its wings from side to side as he maneuvered, hoping to use this flight maneuver to alert the two pilots.

"Iran Air plane, you have deviated, please return to the right course." Reyes said in English on a public channel.

Although they are fighter pilots, they have all been trained in the task of helping civil airliners return to their routes, so Reyes is very skilled in following procedures.

The Airbus A300 was Airbus' first mainline airliner to be put into operation, and it used a lot of advanced technology, so the number of flight personnel was reduced, the flight engineer was eliminated, and only two pilots were retained.

The captain sat on the right side of the cockpit, the pilot sat on the left, and the two were still following the instructions of the compass to carry out the plane, but in their hearts, the two had already begun to have some questions.

According to the usual flight, it should have appeared over land by now, why is it still the ocean below?

At this time, the captain glanced out of the porthole and saw the fighter plane with its wings fluttering.

That's an Iraqi plane!

The pilots were a little flustered, what were the Iraqi fighters coming for?

After all, the captain has more experience in flying, and this Iraqi fighter plane will not be unfavorable to them, otherwise, it will not be so troublesome at all, at most, the other party is here to show that the Iraqi Air Force has controlled the airspace here, but they will definitely not attack a civil airliner.

How can the Iranians be so stupid! Did they even break down their radios? Reyer called on the radio several times, but did not hear an answer.

"What does he want to do?" The pilot asked.

"Tune the radio to the public channel, we want to protest to this Iraqi plane, he should not interfere with the flight of our civil airliner here." The captain said.

As soon as the pilot looked down, he saw that he had made a serious mistake: ten minutes after takeoff, he accidentally touched the knob of the radio and adjusted the radio to a frequency that was not used at all, no wonder the headphones were quiet during this time.

Seeing that the captain was not paying attention, he turned the knob to the public channel.

Then, the voice of the Iraqi pilot came from the headset: "Iran Air airliner, you have yawed, please return to the correct course." ”
