Chapter 8: The Tragic Bombardment

When a huge fireball ignited in the sky ahead, the F-16 fighter jets piloted by Colonel Iftaci Speccot and Captain Ilan Raymond were at the end of the entire formation.

Nahumi's anxious voice was heard from inside the headphones: "There is an enemy anti-aircraft artillery position ahead, immediately climb high, immediately climb high!" At the time of the shouting, Iftachi was still a few kilometers away from Nahumi.

It's not that Iftachi deliberately fell behind, but he had to wipe his big Jewish nose with his hands from time to time, and in order to keep his brain awake, he didn't take cold medicine, and now, after a long flight, he finally couldn't hold on, and the contents of his nose began to want to flow out involuntarily, and he had to help with his hands.

As a result, he couldn't maintain a dense formation and break the radio silence, so he distanced himself from Nahumi, the long plane.

At the end of the entire formation, Raymond had long since discovered that this ace pilot was not in good shape today, so he did not overtake Iftachi, but followed him.

The F-16 was not a car, it had no mirrors, and it could not get the information transmission of the AWACS aircraft, and Nahumi, the leader of the "Chisel" squad, did not find out that two of the four planes in his formation had fallen behind.

Fortunately, the distance was widened, so when the planes in front were ambushed, Iftachi and Raymond did not choose to climb, but turned to the right in advance and flew towards the intended attack site.

Climbing high is not the best option, it's just that the planes in front fly too close and they have no choice. And the two backward planes were on guard, and instead of flying over the opponent's anti-aircraft artillery positions, they turned directly ahead of time and flew towards the predetermined reactor.

Throwing this kind of unguided ordinary bomb requires superb bomb throwing skills, when to dive, when to drop the bomb, you need to have exact standards, which is why the formation chose to use the lake as the starting point of the attack route, fly for ten minutes, reach a thousand meters in the air, and fly down from a high altitude one thousand meters before entering the target, dive and throw from a pre-practiced angle.

Seeing things on the ground in the sky is different from what you see on the ground, and when you look at them from different angles, they are also different, so if you choose a different angle, it is easy to fly over the target without dropping the bomb in time.

However, there is no other way at present, and these two planes are the last hope!

Iftachi looked at the F-15 fighters coming down in anger, and his mood was calm, even if they could wipe out all the opponent's anti-aircraft artillery with cannons? The mistake had already been made, and the most correct choice for them was to provide themselves with more cover to prevent themselves from being attacked by the opponent's fighters.

Iftachi pilots fighter jets, searching for landmarks, ready to drop bombs on top of a nuclear reactor flying at high speed. It's just snot, and it's still trying to gush out from time to time.

Raymond's eyes were a little red, and they were still discussing together last night, saying that if they were attacked, they would be the ones who would be the easiest to become martyrs, but they didn't expect that the pilots in front of him had already gone one step ahead of him.

Revenge, revenge! Raymond buckled the oxygen mask to his face, although he did not need to breathe oxygen in the air below three thousand meters, but, in order to calm his mind and concentrate, Raymond began to breathe the oxygen in the oxygen mask.

The distance of twenty kilometers is more than a minute for a fighter flying at high speed, and the two fighters have approached the Oslark reactor after dozens of seconds, and the altitude has also increased to a thousand meters.

Block the balloon! The two looked at the sky in front of them, frowning slightly.

Colorful balloons, densely packed, there are dozens, filled the air at a height of several hundred meters in front of them, and it is very difficult to fly from above, yes, if you want to dive and drop bombs.

If an airplane flying at high speed hits the steel cable that is tethered to block the balloon, the plane will definitely explode in an instant.

"The original plan remains the same, dive and drop the bomb." Iftachi said. Only the two of them were left in the bombing team, Iftaci was a colonel and Raymond was a captain, so naturally they had to follow Iftachi's orders.

"Yes!" Raymond replied on the radio, there was a tragedy in his voice, flying into the blocked balloons all over the place, it was definitely a life and death.

If you don't dive and drop the bomb, then it can only be a flat drop, the plane flies horizontally, and the bomb drops, this kind of bombing, the accuracy is very poor, unless it is the carpet bombing of the B-52 bomber.

But there is no way, in the active arsenal, only this MK84 bomb is the most powerful, which can deal with the thick cement wall of the opponent's nuclear reactor.

In an instant, it entered the final stage.

Iftachi had switched the electric gate to bomb mode, but when he was diving, he suddenly switched to the cannon.

In the gap between the several balloons, the tall, circular concrete building, with a horseshoe-shaped earthen embankment, is Iraq's Tamouz-1 nuclear reactor.

Iftachi pushed the longitudinal rod forward, and the plane dived sharply downward, faster and faster, and the outline of the earth became clearer and clearer.

"Blocking balloons, just children's toys!" Iftuchi roared and pressed the button in his hand.

The M61A1 "Vulcan" 20 mm caliber Gatling 6-barreled cannon under the belly of the "Tutu Tutu" aircraft barrel was constantly rotating, spitting out tongues of fire, and several balloons next to it were knocked down.

Okay, switch to Bomb! Iftaci expertly flicked the electric door to the left and right, switching to the bomb.

There is only one firing button, which is on the lever, and controlling the launch of multiple weapons requires switching the electric gate.

On the glass in front of the cockpit, a head-up image has been projected, and you only need to mistakenly put the circular cement building on the crosshair, and when it is lowered to 200 meters, press the button, and then pull it up, and you're good to go.

At this point, he had already bothered to look at the instruments in the cockpit, and Iftaci's eyes were fixed on the larger and larger target above the glass.

On the anti-aircraft artillery position below, a strafing fire began on the planes that were diving down, but this backward antiaircraft artillery could not catch the trajectory of the opponent's plane's fall at all.

Raymond followed Iftacci and swooped down.

Seeing Iftaci firing the cannon in the rapid dive in front, Raymond was so impressed that he threw himself to the ground, no wonder the other party was an ace pilot, it was this action, he couldn't do it himself, it required a keen reaction speed, and it was made with two heavy bombs mounted.

What Raymond didn't know was that Iftachi's vision had begun to blur at the moment, and the huge overload caused him to have black vision.

If under normal conditions, this is an overload of less than five is not a problem for him at all, however, today he is not comfortable. Originally, the blood circulation was not smooth, and in the violent maneuver, the blood could not be delivered to the head in time, and finally, his vision began to blur, and his eyes were dark.

Having done his best, Iftaci reluctantly pressed the button.

Underneath the wings, two huge bombs deftly broke away from the wing pylons, drew a graceful arc in the air, and fell downward.

Iftachi felt the plane suddenly lighten, and with all his strength, he pulled the longitudinal rod back, and if it was too late, he was afraid that it would crash.

At the last moment, Raymond was still admiring the ability of the ace pilot, but at this moment, his eyes widened: the two bombs did not fly towards the reactor at all, but fell to the steam turbine plant in front.

(Nuclear reactors simply provide heat, transfer it to water, turn it into high-pressure water vapor, and then push the steam turbine to rotate, drive the generator to generate electricity, or output power.) )

Damn it! The bombing route was wrong, and it entered the dive too late, and the dive angle was too small, so if you flew like this, you would miss the reactor. Raymond's heart was irritated.

Pull it up and get in again? Raymond looked at the outline of the earth that was already approaching, gritted his teeth, and pressed the rod down.

Increase dive angle! Changing to a 90-degree vertical dive, he didn't believe that he couldn't blow up the reactor, and Raymond made up his mind.

The nose of the plane gradually lowered downward, and finally, almost directly facing the ground, the red circle of the flat display had already been encased in the circular building, and Raymond opened the weapon safety and prepared to drop the bomb.

This kind of dive requires great courage, and the speed is so fast that it is only 0.1 seconds late that the plane is destroyed and people are killed. And if it is dropped too early, the bomb may fail.

Raymond swept the altimeter with the rest of his eyes, turning it rapidly, and soon, the altitude was approaching 200 meters.

Raymond's right hand had already pressed on the launch button of the longitudinal rod, and the most exciting moment had arrived. Throw the bomb, then pull it up quickly, and if it is a little slow, you will kiss the earth passionately, and it will become a meat patty, which will be eaten by Saddam Hussein without oil and vinegar.

Suddenly, Raymond felt the fuselage tremble violently, and suddenly, the scene in front of him began to spin rapidly.

Oops, into the tailspin!

(Tail spin is the motion of an aircraft that rotates along a very steep spiral track plane with a small radius and descends sharply in a continuous stall state.) The F-16's on-board computer has been restricted, and under normal circumstances, it is difficult to enter the tailspin, but when the pilot is on a special mission, in order to increase the maneuverability of the aircraft, he will think that the on-board computer is unlocked, that is, the computer will no longer prohibit the aircraft from doing these actions that may cause accidents. )

In this kind of low altitude, there is no ability to change the tail spin at all, and the only option is to eject to escape.

Raymond didn't hesitate, he had no choice, he pulled down the ejection ring under the seat, and with a "bang", four cover-breaking guns were fired at the same time, knocking out four holes in the glass cockpit canopy, and then, the rocket that ejected the seat began to ignite, pushing the seat upward, and the seat opened the cockpit canopy and flew out of the cockpit with Raymond.

In the next second, the plane hit the ground and exploded.
