Chapter 1101: The battle between the Mirage 4000 and the F-15
readx;
The situation in front was very tense, and just two minutes earlier, the battle situation was reported that the 460 Armored Brigade had been wiped out, and it was not only a matter of the disappearance of one of their armored brigades, but also a serious blow to their confidence, that armored brigade, one of their most elite units. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Now, the 217th Armored Brigade and the Golani Infantry Brigade remain in Gaza City, and they are no longer facing the armed men of Hamas armed with AK rifles and rocket launchers, they are facing equally well-equipped armored units!
An Iraqi armored division, just this morning, from the direction of the Sinai Peninsula, quickly interspersed, at an incredible speed, came to Gaza, their troops, has controlled the entire Gaza region, at this time, less than an hour before Iraq made a statement!
Outside Gaza City, they encountered an Israeli armored brigade, and they originally wanted to use this armored brigade to resist for a while, and their own reinforcements could arrive, but no one expected that in a few minutes, the 460 armored brigade would disappear.
"The Gaza Strip is only an Iraqi armored force, but in the Jordan region and the Golan Heights, there are nearly 10 Arab armoured troops, and now we want to move troops from other places to support the Gaza Strip, but that is absolutely impossible, and we do not know whether the Iraqi operation in the Gaza Strip is a feint or a main offensive." Defense Minister Moses said.
This is also a question on the minds of others, now, the Arab army is eyeing the tiger, what is their combat intention?
"And what about our Air Force? Why hasn't our most powerful air force acted until now? Netanyahu continued.
This group of guys, all of them are cowards, and now, the situation is so critical, they are still hesitating here!
"Until now, Iraq has not declared war on us, they are only in the name of helping to maintain peace, moreover, they have established a no-fly zone over Gaza, our radar, Iraqi Air Force fighters on the Sinai side have been spotted, and we must be calm now." Moses continued.
If in the past, people who had this kind of thinking would never have entered the top level of Israel, but the current situation has made them have to be cautious, if it is only the Gaza Strip, they already have an idea, the Gaza Strip, where the Arabs are in the majority, in order to maintain the purity of the Jews, and at the same time avoid being continued to be attacked by Hamas, there are even proposals to remove the Jewish settlements there.
In later generations, in the absence of any peace plan, Israel chose to withdraw its troops from Gaza, which is the purpose, they used the method of siege to completely trap the Gaza Strip, that is, even the vehicles and ships rescued by the United Nations could not enter the Gaza Strip, not a single steel bar, not a bag of cement could enter the Gaza Strip, because it might be used by Hamas!
If you become Israel's defense minister, you have to be tough, and people like Moses now are not worthy of being decision-makers at the top of Israel!
"We have to deal with force!" Just then, Rabin walked in and said.
Although the situation is not rosy now, they must take a tough posture, and Israel can stand here with its own fists, and the slightest show of its cowardice will lead to disastrous consequences.
Even if Israel wants to withdraw its troops, it will do so on its own initiative, and it must not be forced away by the other side in this way.
Even if you don't have enough confidence, you must have enough confidence!
At Tenov Air Base, four F-15 fighters, which had been on standby for a long time, immediately taxied from the runway and took off. At the same time, ten AH-64 helicopter gunships also began to prepare for the entry into the Gaza Strip in preparation for strikes against Iraqi armored forces.
An AWACS aircraft arriving from the north began flying over central Israel to monitor the situation there.
The 431st Armored Brigade in the central Jericho region began its advance towards the Gaza Territory.
"Attention, four Israeli planes, flying towards the Gaza Strip, are preparing for an engagement." An Ericsson Eye AWACS aircraft of the Iraqi Air Force, flying on the Sinai side, issued an early warning order towards the Mirage 4000 squadron circling over the Sinai region.
At the same time, at the Useli airbase in the rear, the rest of the Mirage 4000 fighters are also on standby, the pilots are sitting in the cockpit, and if the situation expands, they will take off urgently at any time to carry out combat missions!
On the contrary, they envied the 15 fighter squadron, which took off in the first batch, with the opportunity to fight the Jews first.
"Prepare medium-range shells." Anders, the leader of the 15th Fighter Squadron, calmly ordered on the radio that their fighter squadron began to be modified three years ago, and before that, it had been using MiG-23 fighters, and there was no battle left to fight at that time, so their squadron, until now, has not had a single fighter shot down record.
Now, the opportunity has finally come, the pilots of the 15 fighter squadron, at this time are more calm-headed, and in air combat, a clear head is the most important.
The radars of the four Mirage 4000 were not turned on, they were receiving the data on the AWACS aircraft, which was displayed on the screen in front of them, and the four fighters of the other side were still 80 kilometers away from them.
Air warfare is inherently fast-paced, and Israel's territory is narrow, and the Gaza region is even smaller, so they have less time to react.
This is a standard head-on attack.
When the distance between the two sides was 60 kilometers, the radars of each fighter turned on, and at the same time, they quickly provided launch data for their own missiles, and then, at a distance of 40 kilometers, launched an active sky flash missile mounted under the wings.
At the same time, Israeli warplanes each fired a Sparrow air-to-air missile.
At present, the US F-15 fighters and F-16 fighters have begun to be equipped with advanced AIM-120A missiles, and the Israeli Air Force has also ordered a batch from the United States, but because the missiles produced by the United States are first used to replace their own air forces, the missiles ordered by Israel will not arrive until next year at the earliest.
The Eagle of David has always relied on technical superiority and skillful technique to defeat their opponents, but now, they sadly find that they are facing a technical disadvantage.
In fact, they already know that Iraq is equipped with active radar missiles, but knowing that it does not necessarily mean that there are countermeasures, and it will always be a disadvantage until they themselves do not have such missiles.
When the missiles flew to a distance of fifteen kilometers, the Jews made a difficult choice, with the two fighters making a high overload maneuver to dodge the incoming missiles, while the other two fighters continued to guide their own missiles, hoping to hit the opposing planes before they were shot down.
Their tactics are simple and heroic, and it's their choice!
The F-15 fighter, which does not do any big overload maneuvers, is a very good target, and the two active sky flash missiles that flew in skillfully blew them into a fireball. And the two Sparrow missiles that they sacrificed their lives to guide also achieved certain results, one of which, before the carrier aircraft was hit, caught up with its target and damaged a Mirage 4000 fighter that was doing a high overload maneuver to evade.
The wreckage of the two downed F-15 fighters landed in the Gaza area. And the other two F-15 fighters managed to get rid of the flying sky flash missiles.
It is undeniable that the quality of the Israeli pilots was very high, and they managed to evade the missiles when they almost entered the inescapable zone of the missiles in the sky, which can definitely not be described as mere luck.
Two of their F-15 fighters were shot down in the first round, while only one of them was damaged, which made the remaining two pilots very angry.
They are the masters of the sky!
The distance between the two sides was rapidly approaching, and they had already seen each other's shadows from their field of vision.
There was no advantage in the medium-range air battle just now, and at close range, they must be knocked down!
This time, they dispatched heavy air supremacy fighters, which were to compete with the Iraqis for air supremacy, and although they lost at medium range, they would definitely not be inferior at close range.
Because, under its wings, it is mounted on Israel's latest air-to-air missile, Monster Snake 4!
When the Israelis first saw the MiG-29 and R-73 missiles from the Paris Air Show, they realized that they were in trouble.
The MiG-29 is now well-known to the world, but during the Cold War, the first time the Western world saw the MiG-29 up close was in July 1986, when the Kubinka Air Regiment sent six MiG-29s to Finland for demonstration flights. In 1989, the MiG-29 accidentally crashed during its second participation in the Paris Air Show, and the pilot escaped with the help of the K-36D ejection seat in the air at near zero altitude, which made the MiG-29 even more famous.
The Israelis realized that they were in trouble when the MiG-29 and the new R-73 missiles appeared in the surrounding Arab countries, and in previous wars, the Air Force had been powerless to fight Syria with AIM-9L and Snake 3 missiles, because the Sidewinder and Snake missiles were much more advanced than Syria's old Soviet air-to-air missiles.
And the performance of this newly emerged R-73 not only exceeds the AIM-9M, but also surpasses a relatively large range, and Israel must have the tools to match it, and after the merger of East and West Germany, Israel is even more familiar with the performance of this missile.
Therefore, they put a lot of effort into research and development, and finally made their advanced fighting bullet, Monster Snake 4, enter service a year earlier than the history of later generations!
