Chapter 453: Air Support

This tragedy, of course, refers to the Iranians, if only from the point of view of equipment, the advantage of the Iranians is quite obvious, and the T-62 crushes the BMD paratrooper car without much effort. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, the mountainous environment limited the deployment of the T-62 tank, and the elevation and depression angles of the gun were too small, which made the tank crews helpless in many cases, and most importantly, the quality of the tank crews was quite poor!

Fighting artillery, the technical requirements, that is far more than shooting, all kinds of shooting elements must be determined in place, to be able to fire to hit the target, and these Iranians, although they are elite YSL guards, but their elite refers to their loyalty, not their technology.

It is already quite difficult to be able to move these tanks, they want to shoot and hit the target, where is it so simple! Tank soldiers, without a year of training, do not want to master the operation of tanks!

"Boom!" Another SEG anti-tank missile, and with the attack of this missile, another T-62 tank was hit and caught fire, followed by an explosion.

At the same time, the road is also blocked, although the paratrooper car is also a tracked vehicle, and it is impossible to climb over the steep mountain beam next to it, and these Iranians on the opposite side are obviously more courageous, and the tanks behind push the scrapped tanks in front and continue to move over!

"Boom!" It was as if the Iranians also found out that they themselves were not sure at all, so instead of continuing to use armor-piercing shells, they began to greet with grenades! A 115-mm grenade, if hit at close range, is also capable of tearing through the armor of the BMD paratrooper vehicle! After all, the armor of the paratrooper car is the level of machine gun protection.

The head of the Molenko regiment is very anxious, now, time is the most precious, if the Americans react and cross the border, then it will be difficult for their own side to deal with it!

What about air support? Why haven't you come yet? Just when Commander Molenko was muttering in his heart, there was a roar in the sky in the distance!

Joseph piloted the fighter and flew on the undulating mountains, at this time, the wings of the MiG-23 were fully opened, which gave the MiG-23 good low-altitude and low-speed performance, and at the same time, the airborne radar carried out the operation of the synthetic aperture function, and the terrain scanned in front was displayed on the screen to help the pilot's flight to the greatest extent.

"Approaching the target, keep an eye out." As the chief plane, Joseph gave orders to the wingman behind him, thanks to the construction of the army's informatization, the coordinates of his ground forces can already be displayed on the plane, and they are flying according to this informatization terminal just now.

Now, it's almost time to get closer to the firefight! Joseph opened the weapon safety and prepared to drop the bombs he had mounted.

In fact, although the MiG-23 developed the MiG-27 fighter-bomber in later generations, it is not suitable for performing ground close support missions. Moreover, the Su-25 is also trying to modify carrier-based fighters, but for the Kiev class, which is not large in displacement and occupies a certain space by various anti-ship and anti-aircraft weapons, increasing the types of carrier-based aircraft will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of maintenance, so the Kiev class only has a carrier-based fixed-wing aircraft of MiG-23, and it can only be transformed to make the MiG-23 an all-round aircraft.

However, congenital defects cannot be overcome, for example, the vision of the cockpit has not improved significantly, air combat is okay, and when attacking the ground, it is always felt lacking. Fortunately, synthetic aperture radar can map the ground pattern, and the information equipment can better help pilots determine the location of their own personnel and prevent accidental hits.

Flying over the canyon over there, you can already see the area of the firefight!

"Attention, take out the tanks on the ground and put pressure on our airborne troops!" Joseph shouted.

As a pilot of the Yak-36M modification, in the past, Joseph carried out the most ground attack missions, and he was even more familiar with this kind of mission.

Aiming at the course and stabilizing the state of the fighter, the MiG-23 passed through the field at a low speed, and at the same time, the weapon has entered the final link of delivery.

"Watch the top of our heads!" At this time, Mohsin apparently also spotted those flying fighters, damn it! What kind of plane is that? Soviets? How can it be! Where did they fly from?

At this time, there was no time to think about these problems, they raised their guns one after another, pointed at the sky, and fired fiercely, in a vain attempt to shoot down the plane overhead.

It's a pity that even an anti-aircraft machine gun for a tank, if you want to fight an airplane, it will be extremely difficult, not to mention now! The weapons in their hands spat out tongues of fire, but they saw the plane above them, and kept dropping bombs!

16 bombs, 100 kg, exploded on the positions of the Iranians, and in an instant, there were explosions everywhere, and everywhere there was a sea of fire!

The Iranian tanks are lined up very densely, their sense of war is quite high, and they all want to rush up to fight the Soviets, but the objective terrain limits their combat performance, and now, it just provides an opportunity for the planes overhead!

The T-62 tank, the frontal armor has more than two hundred millimeters, but the armor at the top is very weak, only 15 to 30 millimeters thick, such armor simply cannot block the bombardment from overhead!

The bomb directly hit the top, and the entire tank was ignited in an instant, and there was a violent ammunition explosion, and the entire turret seat part emitted red flames, and then the turret was lifted off, and a violent explosion resounded throughout the valley.

And even if there is no direct hit, the bomb that explodes around the tank will make the members inside the tank faint!

When Joseph's first plane flew over, the scene was already miserable, and then, the second MiG-23 also threw all the bombs it carried, and these two rounds of bombing made the Iranians unbearable!

The two planes passed, and the moving Iranian tanks began to retreat, and they needed to dodge the sharp air strikes, but the Grim Reaper continued to approach!

The UB-16-57 rocket launch nest means that there are 16 57mm rockets inside! A rocket of this caliber is more able to tear through the top armor of the T-62 more easily!

The pilots of the two planes in the back, using the aiming device, pushed down the nose of the nose, and the rocket launch nest under the wing box radiated the flames of death!

One rocket after another, exploding on the positions of the Iranians, those T-62 tanks that were still retreating, turned into burning scrap metal one by one! (To be continued.) )
