With the issuance of the combat order of the military region, an air raid operation that made countless military experts sigh finally began.

In this air raid operation, the focus was on the Mirage fleet and F-20 fleet in the Iraqi Air Force, and none of those Soviet fighters participated in the battle.

All pilots know that their boss, His Excellency Cussay, is a person who attaches great importance to technology, and in future wars, the surname of the aircraft will directly determine the life and death of the pilot, and they all look forward to the fighters on the production line entering service as soon as possible, so that they can fly this advanced fighter instead.

In Basra Air Base, technicians are making final preparations, and even Northrop technicians are maintaining F-20 fighters, and they are also looking forward to the success of this bombing operation in the Southern Military District, so that their fighters will also become famous because of this battle.

Come together for the same goal!

However, they are all in the hangar for maintenance, the F-20 hangar and the Mirage F1 hangar are far apart, so the American technicians did not notice that in Iraq, there is a group of Chinese technicians who are maintaining their aircraft, and they did not find that a new type of cruise missile has appeared in Iraq.

Redbird II!

Although it is similar in appearance to the original Red Bird II, its heart has been replaced by a small engine imported from Europe, with a slight increase in thrust and a decrease in fuel consumption, and a range of 200 kilometers.

Now, the missiles are being mounted under the wings of the Mirage F1, one on each side, and technicians have begun injecting launch data into Redbird II's computer.

Air-launched cruise missiles are also loaded with all the data on the ground, and after taking off, the customary navigation system begins to work with the take-off point as the initial position.

The last time Tehran was bombed, this cruise missile had already shown its strong combat effectiveness, and the Iranians did not know that Iraq had such a weapon in its arsenal, and this time, this extended-range type will show its tremendous combat effectiveness even more.

The eight cruise missiles, before launching, have each been assigned their own targets, some are long-range radar stations near Tehran, some are ammunition and fuel storage centers at Tehran Air Base, and two carry anti-runway warheads, and the internal cluster bombs will completely destroy the runway, and the Iranian planes left on the ground can only be the objects they can ravage.

Thanks to the Americans, the information of the Iranians in all the key places has been sent to Iraq, and after verification by the Messiah Bureau, these most threatening targets have been selected.

The technicians worked carefully, and even the gray-haired Liang Lao was directing on the spot.

On the other side, the atmosphere is different, the Americans, even when they are working, are more relaxed, they whistle and check the various missiles that have just arrived from the United States.

The Iraqi personnel are also learning with an open mind, and this kind of opportunity is very rare, and if it were not for the Americans who taught them so cooperatively, it would have been much longer to really master these maintenance work.

The models are all new, sparrows, calves, gem roads, these weapons, even in the Israeli air force, are considered very advanced, and the United States has invested in Iraq this time.

At this time, in another part of Iran, several jeeps were moving forward.

The people in the car, all members of the imposing Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, held guns in their hands and looked around vigilantly.

"Captain, what is the mission of our operation this time?" A soldier asked.

Hades turned back from the co-pilot with a vicious look and said, "You kid talk a lot of nonsense, if you say another word, I'll throw you in this hellish place." ”

Looking at the cliff below, the soldier closed his mouth in amusement.

"This mission is top secret, and we will have to wait until we reach our destination and meet up with intelligence officers before we can make specific combat arrangements." Hades said.

The other soldiers, in fact, are already guessing what this mission is, to go deep behind the enemy lines in Iran, and besides, it must be strictly secrecy, it will not be to capture Khomeini, right?

The captain is really, this kind of task, everyone would like to do it sooner, and they still refuse to say it.

Hades didn't tell everyone about the mission, because, he didn't know how to say, what kind of mission was this time? Rescuing hostages held by Iran? Or, go and kidnap those hostages? Is it another Iranian force, or is it some other American-hating force in the Middle East?

However, he knew that this mission was very important, and it could even be said that the tens of thousands of trapped soldiers in the Northern Military Region were waiting for them to be rescued! As long as it is an order from His Excellency Qusay, no matter how arduous, he must complete it successfully.

The Rattlesnake special forces are the most powerful fist of His Excellency Qusay!

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Basra Air Base of the Southern Military District finally began to sort.

It is also very important to choose this time, when you take off now and arrive in Tehran, it is exactly about half past five in the afternoon, the day has passed, the Iranian Air Force has tensed up for a day and begins to relax, and it is the time when dinner is about to start, and their defense is the weakest time, and the thunder strike, from this moment!

The first to glide onto the runway was Hamad's 115 fighter squadron, with four Mirage F1s lined up in a diamond shape, using a dense formation to take off, which was the most time-saving and easy to form.

When the nose of the plane was raised, the two huge Red Bird II cruise missiles on both sides were very dazzling in the sun.

The wingtips are two Magic short-range missiles for self-defense, and under the belly of the aircraft is a huge auxiliary fuel tank.

Four warplanes, eight cruise missiles, will deal the most severe blow to the Iranians!

Another Pheibil's Mirage F1 squadron, which remained in Basra, took on air cruises in the Southern Military District with other fighters.

Followed, it was Arslan's two F-20 squadrons, although Arslan was young, but the results were already quite fruitful, even if not to mention the Tomcat who defeated the Iranians, that is, after arriving in the Southern Military District, several battles were fought and the results were extraordinary, and they were recognized by everyone.

Most of these F-20s use composite pylons under pylons under wing roots, carrying two Maverick air-to-surface missiles on each side, two Sidewinder short-range missiles on the wingtips, and auxiliary fuel tanks on their bellies.

If they are unfortunate enough to encounter the Tomcats of the Iranians, they will be the umbrella of the entire formation, using advanced Sparrow air-to-air missiles to attack the Iranian fighters.

Although the first launch of the Maverick missile was a combat launch, this made Arslan even more proud, especially his own fighter plane, sitting in the flight seat, he felt inexhaustible, eager to drop the bomb on the head of the Iranians.

What's more, on the flight simulator, he has practiced the method of using the calf countless times, and it is simply sci-fi when it comes to it.

Looking at the multi-function display on the right, Arslan was full of anticipation, so he did not hesitate to choose the ground attack mission with the Maverick missile, instead of carrying the medium-range bomb to engage in air combat with enemy aircraft, which he has always liked.

Adnan's squadrons of 117 and 118 fighters followed, with the longest flight time and the most skilled use of the F-20 since switching to the F-20, and this time, they carried laser-guided bombs on the Paveway and had the most difficult task.

The Maverick has a range of more than 20 kilometers, so it can be launched outside the opponent's anti-aircraft weapons, while the Paverick, which is modified from ordinary aerial bombs, must fly over the target before it can be dropped.

They need to carry out a devastating blow to the Iranian fighters in the reinforced hangar between the Maverick attacks, so that the Iranian air force will be completely destroyed on the ground, the Maverick missiles are relatively less powerful and will not work against the fighters in those hangars, and this 908 kg bomb is very powerful, if you hit one, the entire row of hangars will probably be in ruins. Already having the experience of the last use of such bombs, they are already quite confident.

Because the distance of this attack is relatively long, and it needs to be entered at a low altitude, the electronic jammers modified by the MiG-23 did not follow, and in the plan, those radars and air defense systems have been taken out at the first time, and the danger will be minimized.

The entire attack was divided into three waves, and twenty warplanes, after taking off from Basra airbase in turn, embarked on their journey.

Arslan looked at the ground below through the glass cockpit cover, Iraq, a lion that has woken up, will inevitably stand on the land of the Middle East and become the most powerful country!

The formation went north, flying over the province of Missan to the north in the province of Sulaymaniyah, and from here to the east, in the province of Kurdistan, where Iran's air defense is the weakest, into the peaks of the Iranian plateau.

When flying at a cruising speed of Mach 0.7, this ultra-low-altitude complex ground flight can be described as thrilling.

They have studied the entire route in advance, where there are peaks and where are the valleys, they already know in their hearts, but when they really fly, there is still a feeling of nervousness.

The mountain peaks in front of him rushed towards him, and just as they were about to collide, a gap suddenly flashed next to them, and from between the two peaks, a small F-20 drilled through.

Except for the occasional Iranians in the mountains, who saw this air force formation, Iran's air defense network, did not have any sense.

The Iraqi Air Force has never flown at such an ultra-low altitude on the Iranian plateau, and they always like to enter quickly at high altitudes, complete the bombing, and then leave at high altitudes.

Last time, the Iranian Air Force entered at an ultra-low altitude and bombed the bridge in Bakhtalam, and this time, the fleet of revenge, also flying at an ultra-low altitude, bombed the air base of the Iranians!
