Chapter 81: Bombing Tehran?

The MiG-25 driven by Reyer first slid onto the runway.

As a fighter mainly engaged in interception, the MiG-25 has good high-altitude and high-speed capabilities, and today, their fighter squadron will go deep into the Iranian hinterland to carry out cover missions.

Several Su-20s, already 20 minutes earlier, converged over the border line and entered Iranian airspace in formation.

A squadron of MiG-25 fighters, a squadron of MiG-23 fighters and a squadron of Su-20 attack aircraft were put into the bombing of Tehran.

In addition to the Su-20, the MiG-23 and the MiG-25 all have good high-speed surnames, and their mission this time, the bombing is only a little, as long as it attracts the attention of the opposing air force, contain the opponent's main air superiority fighter: Tomcat, and create opportunities for Abadan's army.

Modern warfare is absolutely not a battle between a certain branch of the armed forces or an isolated place, and every battle should be a joint operation of many arms, and the close cooperation between various armies is very important, which is also the reason why various network systems in later generations constitute a central war.

In this battle, Zhang Feng was determined to make an appearance, so not only the air force, but even the only navy in Iraq were included in the scope of his operation.

Reyer checked all the gauges, confirmed that everything was in order, and released the brakes.

The MiG-25 slid quickly on the runway, and the tail flame turned lilac, which was the reason for turning on the afterburner. Two R-15BD-300 turbojet engines burst out with a thrust of more than 200,000 N, pushing the fuselage weighing more than 30 tons, piercing the blue sky.

Under the wings of each MiG-25, two P-40R semi-active radar-guided medium-range air-to-air missiles, two P-40T infrared-guided medium-range air-to-air missiles and two P-60 process infrared air-to-air missiles are mounted.

The shape of the P-40 is somewhat like a smaller immortal bird, with a maximum range of 50 kilometers, and it can barely reach the Tomcat, but the key problem is that this missile is designed to intercept slow bombers, and for fighters with excellent interception maneuverability, the on-board computer on the missile is not fast enough to keep up with the opponent's maneuvering.

If you want to succeed, unless it's a sneak attack.

The MiG-23 carries the standard P-23 medium-range missile and the P-60 short-range missile.

Reyes pulled up the longitudinal rod, and the MiG-25 quickly pulled up the nose and flew into the blue sky.

The fact that Ensign Arslan used the MiG-23 to shoot down an Iranian F-14 Tomcat has been reported to the entire Air Force, and the Air Force pilots are in high spirits and proud of this Arslan, which puts pressure on Reyer, and the combat exploits of the first F-14 have been taken by Arslan, and he is going to shoot the second and third!

Behind him, three other MiG-25s of the squadron, also took off.

After forming a formation, they moved towards the predetermined airspace, caught up with the slow-moving Su-20 squadron, and together with the MiG-23 formation, flew across the state border.

"Report, the Iraqi Air Force has been dispatched." In the Command, Hassan hears a message that he least wants to hear.

"Which air base? Where are they targeting? Hassan asked.

Khomeini, who was next to him, did not speak, and kept listening.

"It could have taken off from the H-3 airbase, or it could have been Kirkuk airbase, flying from the province of Ilam, and judging by the route, it was likely to be headed for our capital, Tehran."

Tehran? Hassan's heart tightened, Tehran's security is the most important thing, and if Tehran is damaged, it will seriously shake the morale of the Iranian army.

"Did our Air Force take off?" Khomeini asked suddenly.

"Yes, according to your orders, prepare to support the battle of Abadan." Hassan said.

"Immediately let the Air Force return and defend Tehran." Khomeini said.

In support of the fighting in Abadan, the Iranian Air Force took off two Tomcat fighters and two squadrons of F-4E Phantom fighters, who were ordered to return immediately.

The F-4E Phantom fighter is also a fighter that is heavily equipped by the Iranian Air Force, and the Phantom has always been the main force of the Air Force before the Tomcat entered the Air Force.

The ghost fighter adopts the form of two-person piloting, the same as the Tomcat, and emphasizes multi-purpose capabilities, which can not only carry out air combat, but also carry out ground attacks, and adopts the outer wing upper anti, with canine tooth leading edge, large root tip ratio, small aspect ratio of the swept low wing, the nose is a large radome, and the angle between the vertical tail and the flat tail of the downward reverse is formed 120 degrees.

The special shape features selected by a large number of wind tunnel tests, coupled with the use of jet flaps and other measures, make the Phantom fighter have a low landing speed and are not prone to wingtip stalling when flying at low speeds. The aerodynamic layout of the air intake on both sides, with the side air intakes with the surface control panel, is equipped with two J79-GE-17 engines, and the afterburner thrust of a single is 79.6 kN, and compared with other models, a fixed-mounted 20MM61 "Vulcan" 6-barreled gun has been added to the front fuselage.

As an American-made fighter, the Phantom's fire control equipment is also very powerful: the AN/ASG-26 forward computational optical sight, the AN/APQ-120 radar, the AN/ASQ-91 weapon delivery computer, the AN/AJB-7 attitude reference and bombing system, and the external laser irradiation/tracking pod.

This time it was a bombing mission, and although the Phantom fighter was carrying ground bombs on the main pylon, it also carried two Sparrow air-to-air missiles on the semi-buried pylons under the fuselage, and two Sidewinder air-to-air missiles on the wingtips.

For the sake of safety, the Air Force urgently took off two Tomcats on combat readiness duty, and prepared to volley in the direction from which the Iraqi Air Force was coming.

After penetrating deep into the Iranian hinterland, it is not possible to obtain useful information from the ground-based radar stations in the rear, and only eyes and radars can effectively search the airspace.

As a long-term aircraft, Reyer turned on his "ReturnAir A" radar, which is powerful enough to detect enemy aircraft at a distance of 100 kilometers and shoot down the opponent with his own medium-range air-to-air missiles at a distance of 50 kilometers.

Limited by backward electronic technology, this distance is mainly achieved by increasing the radar power, so the radar of the MiG-25 is very terrifying, and it is said to be able to kill a rabbit on the ground.

Of course, this is all unofficial.

However, if the other party is a tomcat, then you have to be very careful, if you don't reach a distance of 50 kilometers, you will have been killed by the immortal bird.

However, this time the Iraqi Air Force formation was very lucky, due to the lack of Iranian Immortal Bird missiles, this time they carried out mainly ground attack missions, so the Tomcats carried medium-range Sparrow air-to-air missiles.

The Su-20 was at a low altitude, the MiG-23 was at a medium altitude, and the MiG-25 was at a high altitude, three formations, heading towards the hinterland of Iran, moving firmly, even though they knew that they might encounter strong resistance, they did not hesitate.
