Chapter 456: U.S. Navy Surveillance

readx;

The original gentle sea breeze blows over the Arabian Sea, and the heat of summer is everywhere here&1& original

A huge warship, with a side-mounted bridge and a flat deck above the hull, indicates that this is a sea giant: an aircraft carrier. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧

On the wide deck, an airplane with a mushroom tray on its back had been placed on a steam bomb, its propellers spinning and ready to go.

A Navy deck crew made a skillful gesture, and the pilot pushed the throttle wide and released the brakes at the same time.

A large amount of steam came out of the tail of the plane, and at the same time, the plane accelerated forward at a rapid pace, and after a few seconds, it was bounced off the deck.

2 Another aerial surveillance of the Hawkeye pre-jing aircraft began again.

In addition to monitoring the situation in the direction of the Strait of Hormuz, it was also monitoring the navy of the Soviets not far from its own formation.

Under the banner of escort, in addition to the US Navy, the Navy of the Soviets, also came here, not only a few warships on the surface, most likely underwater, but also the nuclear submarines of the Soviets. ≦≧

However, both sides did not make much move, and they were waiting for the ships of their own countries or countries that invited their own escorts to enter the Persian Gulf.

2 rose to the cruising altitude, entered the airspace of the pre-jing, and after turning on the radar on the back, the radar crew widened their eyes: at this time, at the long detection distance of the pre-jing machine, a huge group of aircraft was flying!

Judging by the targets, most of them are fighters, however, there are also a few with relatively large echoes, which should be bombers.

Such a huge fleet. Probably the size of almost forty fighters, judging by the course, should have flown from Iraq!

What did Saddam Hussein want to do?

"Report, a group of forty warplanes was spotted flying along the median line of the Persian Gulf, to the southeast." The air intelligence officer quickly reported the information back to the aircraft carrier in the rear, and at the same time, the battle situation was also passed through the data link. Transmitted back to the aircraft carrier.

"Take off two F14s for surveillance. ≦" the captain immediately gave the order.

Although those planes should have taken off to bomb Iran, and although Iraq is now a friendly country of the United States, it is also necessary to prevent the occurrence of special circumstances, and you must know that the Iraqi Air Force is equipped with French-made Exocet missiles and Chinese-made 801 missiles, and if the other side "mistakenly" fires missiles at itself, the consequences will also be very dangerous.

The captain looked at the deck of the aircraft carrier. Two Tomcat fighters, in turn, left the aircraft carrier.

F14, is the United States Navy's powerful air supremacy fighter, each F14 fighter. Both carried two Sparrow air-to-air missiles and two Sidewinder missiles, and did not carry Immortal Bird missiles.

Because, the huge weight of that kind of missile makes it impossible for the F14 Tomcat to land safely on the aircraft carrier, so every time it carries the Immortal Bird missile into the air. At the time of landing. They all had to throw missiles into the sea in advance, and although the US Navy had deep pockets, it could not withstand such consumption. So, only in the case of a quick volley, or an anti-aircraft patrol, the F14 will carry the Immortal, and now, it is only to monitor the Iraqi fleet. There is no need for them to mount such missiles.

Immediately after takeoff, the F14 made contact with the pre-jing aircraft. ≦≧ rushed to the predetermined airspace for surveillance under the command of the pre-jing aircraft.

Iraqi Air Force. With so many aircraft sorties dispatched this time, what will be the effect of their bombing? The US Navy is very interested.

Moreover, there is another reason that cannot be said, and that is to show off the power of the American team! No matter how strong Iraq is, it is only a pediatric-level military strength, and the full combat strength of the Iraqi Air Force, which has been dispatched from the nest, is not as powerful as a single aircraft carrier group of the US Navy.

This is the thirty-second time that Fibir has taken to the air, and he pilots the Mirage F1 fighter jet, leading his 11th fighter squadron, following Hamad's F20 115th fighter squadron.

Due to the limited range, even if they have an auxiliary fuel tank attached to it and land at the nearest Saudi air base when they return, they can fly over the Strait of Hormuz for 20 minutes, which is the time to test the command ability of the formation commander.

The bombardment was divided into several squads, responsible for the coastline and several islands such as Qeshm Island, and they needed to focus on bombing the Iranian missile equipment and the fortifications on the islands. ≦≧

Due to the relatively long distance, the Iranians never thought that Iraq would be able to plan such a bold air raid plan, and moreover, the number of Iran's long-range Jingjing radars was not large, and many of them were transferred to the Western Front, so they did not find the Iraqi aircraft group that came to attack!

After reaching the skies over the Strait of Hormuz, the 11th Fighter Squadron and the 115th Fighter Squadron began to climb to an altitude of 10,000 meters, ready to deal with possible situations. The 115th Fighter Squadron flew above the coastline and entered Iranian airspace, while the 11th Fighter Squadron flew over the median line of the strait.

The captains of the two formations turned on the fire control radar and scanned the surrounding airspace with the radar.

When the fighter plane turned to the southeast, suddenly, two points of light appeared on Fibir's radar screen, and there were two fighters, flying at a fast speed!

"Report, Direction 031, two suspicious targets found." Fibir immediately reported to the commander-in-chief of the formation, Hamad, the captain of the F20 fighter in front.

"Keep watching. ≦≧," Hamad said.

That direction is the direction of the open sea.

Suddenly, a signal appeared on Fibil's on-board electrical equipment, which suddenly surprised Fibiel.

That's a signal peculiar to 9 radars!

In order to counter the Tomcat fighters of the Iranians, these French Mirage F1 fighters have electrical equipment on them that can recognize the radar signal.

"Report, it's Tomcat fighters, there are two in total, and they're approaching us!"

"Stay on guard at once, and be ready to fight at any time." At the same time, Hamad said, he also ordered his squadron of fighters to start flying in this direction.

Two Tomcat fighters flew from the open sea, and this news surprised Hamad, the Tomcat fighter is a heavy air supremacy fighter with a large range, is this fighter from Sistan in the east by the Iranians, or a fighter of the US Navy?

If the commander of the formation was Arslan, he, a man who was not afraid of heaven and earth, immediately ordered to prepare to open fire, but Hamad was still relatively steady, and when he let his squadron rush to the battlefield, he was also reporting to the commander-in-chief of the air raid in the rear, Air Force Commander-in-Chief Abid.

"Under Cusay, two Tomcat fighters were found approaching our formation, which could be encountered at any time." Abid said.

By this time, Qusay had already returned to Baghdad, and in order to provide a suitable airfield for the returning Iraqi fighters, Prince Sultan followed Qusay to the command center in Baghdad.

In fact, that is a pretense, Prince Sultan, as Minister of Defense, has long been envious of the combat effectiveness of the Iraqi army, and this time the Iraqi Air Force dared to attack the Strait of Hormuz area from a long distance, so that he was shocked and wanted to see it in person. Therefore, Prince Sultan followed Qusay and observed the entire command process of the air raid.

Although the commander-in-chief is Abid, and the bombing operations have been studied many times in advance, Abid still does not dare to call the shots in the event of an emergency, especially now.

Tomcat fighters! Qusay sneered: "Keep an eye on it, and if the other party flies near our attack circle, or, if the other party poses a threat to us, then, shoot it down!" ”

Two years ago, when they heard the name of this fighter, the only thing the pilots of the Iraqi Air Force could do was to fly away, hide as far as they wanted, but now it is different, the Iraqi Air Force is fully capable of ending the Tomcat fighter in an over-the-horizon attack.

When Prince Sultan heard Qusay's words, he shivered, and although he was a bystander, he couldn't help but kindly remind: "Under Cusay, those two Tomcats may belong to the US Navy." ”

"It's possible that it belongs to the Iranian Air Force." "We can't be in awe of it just because it might be from the U.S. Navy, because it's close to our formation, it's going to pose a huge threat to our bombing formation, and if it's really the Tomcat of the Iranians, how many planes, how many pilots do we have to lose?" It's a war! ”

Kusai said it very simply, what about the US Navy? This is the Persian Gulf, the territory of the Arabs, what are they Americans doing here with aircraft carriers? And no one invited you to show off?

If it is the Tomcat fighter of the Iranians, it will cause great losses to the formation, and for the Tomcat of the Iranians, it is certain that the opponent will be shot down at a long distance, and if it is the US Navy, sorry, then it will be wrong.

Kusai wanted to open up.

When Prince Sultan heard this, he sweated, if this was wrong, would the US Navy give up?

The U.S. Navy also wants to open up.

Even if it is the air force of the Red Sè Empire, they are not afraid, naturally they will not be afraid of the tiny Iraqi Air Force and the almost negligible Iranian Air Force, for them; This will be their sky in the future.

Although the commander of the aircraft carrier ordered these two F14 fighters to carry out surveillance missions, as the pride of the sky, as the aviation of the US Navy, the pilots of the F14 fighters did not think so.

"George, how about we make a game?" Two F14s soared in the blue sky, said one of the pilots with a radar behind him. (To be continued.) To be continued
