One: The decapitated unit of the combat unit has not yet left the interference zone. 【Reading Network】Hitting clouds in the air, two

As with Stark's judgment, Pei Chengyi first used the strategic aviation of the Republic Air Force, not the tactical aviation deployed near the theater of operations.

Because it is said that small bombers are to carry out strategic alert missions, it is the "blade bomber" that undertakes the strike mission.

Although it is a relatively backward old-fashioned bomber, its basic performance is comparable to that of the small US Air Force or the Russian Sun Fighter, but because of the later development time, it can adopt a large number of advanced technologies, and take into account other performances, such as sound penetration and defense capabilities, and the large internal space of the fuselage leaves room for improvement, making it the first "century bomber".

Compared with the previous models of the old and, mountain thugs, and even concave bombers, there are not too many characteristics, if it were not for the lack of alternative models in the Republic Air Force, and the high-intensity regional war needs enough strategic strike platforms, it will not produce many planes, and it will become the largest strategic bomber in production at the beginning of the century.

As a standard bomber, this series of bombers has a total of 4 mass-produced models and a test model or a special model to fight and ditch is the last pound, mass production model. To be precise, in the case of general financial constraints, the ultimate improved model of this series of bombers did not get the opportunity of mass production, but in an improved way, so that the old O Duo ushered in a new life.

At that time, the third military reform had already begun, and the Air Force made it clear that the cost of improving this kind of bomber for the year must be controlled within an acceptable range, that is, according to the standard of the model, the cost of improving the three mass-produced models was only the cost of purchasing one model. As a result, the improvement indicators became very conservative, and the improvement workload was greatly reduced, and it took only 2 years for AVIC Group, which undertook the project, to hand over the answer sheet. In a sense, it was precisely because of the Air Force's request for a reduction in costs in advance that the project was successfully completed.

If you want to reduce costs, you have to lower your performance metrics.

Without affecting the combat effectiveness of the troops, while lowering the performance indicators, it is necessary to adjust the operational thinking.

It is for this reason that the improved design was initially identified as an air strike platform capable of carrying and using all kinds of ammunition available, as well as various types of ammunition that are being fired. It is precisely for this reason that the Air Force took the opportunity of the third military reform to first propose that, on the basis of the second military reform, the air force should reduce the number of types of aviation ammunition used by the various branches of the armed forces of the republic to less than one type of drop in a series of different types, and that an open design method should be used to leave room for future upgrades and improvements. The project has received a high degree of support from the Ministry of National Defense and the Yuan government, and it is the first air strike platform with the ability to use a large series of near-range munitions based on the project.

The great success of Van Bark made this bomber the second pound after it. Legend.

Within 3 years after the flight, the Air Force of the Republic of China made a brigade of fighters to complete the modernization and improvement of the "ditch series of bombers" and became. Such a rapid improvement is due to the fact that the Air Force attaches great importance to this strategic bomber, second, the strategic air force urgently needs to improve its combat effectiveness, and third, the AVIC Group, which produces bombers, is eager to provide jobs for thousands of skilled workers because the project is abandoned halfway, and finally the success of the bark makes the Navy have no choice but to follow the Air Force and carry out the same improvement on the bombers of the HNA .

According to the rules of the Republic Air Force, all the improved ones will be in service until after the Tang year, and the internal code name of Xiaoah, who does not have the ability to use strategic weapons, will continue to serve after the Lixi year, and it is very likely that it will eventually serve after the 2nd milk year. In other words, if all goes well, it will become the first type of strategic bomber born in the first century to pass the age of service.

In fact, with advances in ammunition technology, the importance of bombers is rapidly decreasing.

In the era when standoff munitions were commonly used by tactical fighters, bombers were used most of the time. It plays the role of carrying and delivering ammunition. In war, only in the event of the seizure of absolute air supremacy. The commander will let the bomber carry unguided munitions and carry out volley bombing at an altitude that the enemy's small-caliber anti-aircraft guns cannot reach. As long as the enemy still has the means to threaten and attack bombers, no commander will let the bombers take risks.

Pei Chengyi is no exception, bombers are an effective striking force, but they do not go excellent "adventurers." ”

According to his operational arrangement, after taking off from the air bases in the western and northwestern regions, the three squadrons of the strategic aviation of the Republic Air Force will make a detour into Pakistan and, after entering the airspace over Iran, will successively fire the long-range air-launched high-pitched cruise missiles they carry.

In other words, these bombers will turn back when they are many kilometers away from the battlefield and the fighters, and will not enter the war zone at all.

Of course, after the bomber takes off, it is difficult to be unsettled.

Because all the tankers of the Air Force support aviation were sent to offend the tactical aviation, the internal fuel tank must first be filled with fuel to ensure the combat radius of more than a kilometer, and then the internal bomb bay will be mounted on the continent, which is limited by the maximum take-off weight in winter. All of them only carried the mouth to patrol the river

In fact, only the missile was successfully reached in the airspace where the missile was launched, and the secret was either halfway back due to mechanical problems, or flew to a nearby large air base. And when firing missiles, the hatch of the bomb bay on the left side of the thug could not be opened, so only 8 old cruise missiles were fired, and the effective sortie rate was Zhaoshui, which was already very high among bombers.

When formulating a strike plan, the commander will deploy more combat forces according to the failure rate of the combat platform.

Take Erxin as an example, because its average sortie rate in the past three years was above the number of missiles, so when formulating the bombing plan, Long Hongen took the slack sortie rate as the standard, and the knife frame bomber only needed to shoot 7 missiles. Because the missile itself can malfunction, there is also some reservation when selecting a target. For example, in the case of projecting 7 missiles and hitting a target with 2 missiles. The number of targets selected will never be worms. It's about strength. Of course, two prerequisites are necessary for the implementation of such tactics, one is a high-capacity communication system, and the other is a sufficiently advanced missile.

When the bomber group was dispatched, the Military Intelligence Agency provided it with three communications satellites in geosynchronous orbit and a low-Earth orbit high-data-exchange satellite system with knife satellites. Geosynchronous orbit communication satellites are mainly responsible for the normal communication between the bomber group and the base, as well as the bombers before the bombers, and belong to the backbone communication network. The low-earth orbit high-data-exchange satellite system, which is composed of small satellites with a mass of less than kilograms, is responsible for sending data to missiles, and is a high-level military communications system specially aimed at high-intensity warfare.

To put it bluntly, without these two communication systems, it would still be possible to launch missiles at a distance of 1,000 meters from the target, nor would it be possible to dispatch a bomber at one time, still less would it be possible to use multiple missiles to strike at multiple targets at the same time without any problems.

If it is a troublesome matter to organize a bomber to attack multiple targets with multiple missiles, then it is a disaster to organize and persuade multiple fighters to attack a target or a target.

These fighters deployed in the Xiqi Air Base of the Republic took off, first turned to Pakistan, flew along the Indus River Valley to the southern part of Pakistan, and then turned to enter Iranian territory, and finally fired the standoff ammunition at the target in the northwest of Iran with a range of between concave and Feng O. Unlike the bombers, all fighters did not have to return to the mainland of the Republic. It will go to air bases in Iran, Iraq and Syria, where it will be replenished with ammunition and take off again for combat duty.

When arranging this series of battles, Pei Chengyi fully adopted Long Hongen's advice.

Because after the war began, the US Navy's carrier-based sailors would participate in the war, and the combat units in the theater were facing very great air defense pressure, and the number of air superiority fighters of the Republic's aircraft carrier battle groups deployed in the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea was very limited, and they could not provide adequate air defense cover for the ground troops. Therefore, it is very necessary to devote more forces to fight with the enemy for air supremacy after the outbreak of war.

That is, it was necessary to throw into such a heavy air superiority fighter as Xiao Lao.

This requirement is exactly the same as the demand for long-distance travel.

Although Xiaokou is guaranteed to refuel during the banquet, the long-distance running ability is not under Xiao Lao, and Xiao Kou is a single-engine fighter, and the failure rate is only about half of Xiao Lao's most of the failure of the fighter is related to the motive, so the more motivated fighters, the higher the failure rate, so it is more suitable for long-range strike missions, but in the case of a very limited number of tankers, and the strike intensity can not be reduced, Xiao Lao, who can carry more fuel and ammunition, is definitely a more ideal choice. In fact, whenever it is a long-distance attack, the commander will give priority to heavy fighters, or rather, as long as there are no other restrictions, the commander will definitely use heavy fighters.

That's exactly the case, the first thing to be dispatched is to say, say, Xiao Si is carrying out all the strike missions outside the defense area, and there is no need to take risks.

According to the plan, after taking off, the thugs will only meet up with tanker groups over southern Pakistan, that is, Balochistan province, to get fuel supplies, and then drop standoff munitions over northwestern Iran. Because there is no need to think about flying back to an air base thousands of kilometers away, these fighters do not need to undergo a second in-flight refueling. After landing, half of the fighters replenished fuel and anti-air ammunition as quickly as possible and took off to carry out air defense patrol missions, while the other half of the fighters were on standby on the ground, ready to take off at any time.

In other words, if all goes well, within minutes of the start of the bombing, nearly 100 small fighter fields will be on anti-aircraft patrol missions over Syria, Iraq, Iran, and even southeastern Turkey, ready to engage US fighter jets. Counting the fighter jets of the Syrian and Iraqi air forces, it will be difficult for the US military to seize air supremacy at one time, even if the US military unites the Japanese army and the Israeli army.

Dao Yi, all the same, Pei Chengyi trusts Long Hongen. It also gave him enough pay to be stunned

The problem is that the most critical link is still missing in Long Hongen's tactical arrangement, that is, who will kick open the door of Turkey's domestic air defense network?

Although the Turkish army is at the bottom of the entire NATO bloc, even compared to the bordering Iran, there is not much to speak of. For example, the main combat equipment of the Turkish Air Force is a fighter operated by the American Boeing Company, and this is a typical light multi-role fighter, which is at the same level as the small fighter of the Republic Air Force. It is more suitable for performing ground missions, rather than for performing homeland air defense missions, even if all the exported ones have been improved according to the requirements of customers, such as replacing them with higher thrust motives, more powerful radars, more complete air combat fire control software, etc., their actual air combat capabilities are still far inferior to heavy air supremacy fighters, and they are not even the opponents of such medium-sized multi-role fighters, otherwise the US Navy will not engage in a carrier-based fighter alone. However, the overall combat effectiveness of the Turkish army is not bad, and due to the geographical location and other influences, among the entire NATO bloc, Turkey attaches the most importance to air defense construction. Not to mention, after the collapse of the former Soviet Union, because the biggest threat disappeared, many NATO member states have lowered the level of their native air defense networks and began to focus on foreign military operations, only Turkey still attaches great importance to native air defense, and even purchased long-range air defense systems from Russia when the United States and other allies are unable to provide more advanced air defense systems.

Entering the century, Turkey still attaches great importance to its native air defense.

In outside terms, the Turkish authorities are nominally wary of neighboring Iran and other countries, but in fact they are guarding against Russia to the north and the republics to the east.

It is precisely for this reason that since the beginning of the previous year, the Turkish authorities have made adjustments, focusing on the purchase of weapons from Western countries, including the United States, and have retired some weapons and equipment purchased from Russia and the Republic many years ago, and some of them have been provided to the United States free of charge. That is, Turkey has once again pinned its hopes for national security on the United States.

Fortunately, the United States did not abandon Turkey, and there is something to sell to Turkey.

With the breaking of the situation in which the United States is dominant, the US nuclear power dealers, which have always attached little importance to air defense systems, have also kept up with the trend of the times and began to develop advanced air defense systems, such as those established in Yin. The base of the "theater air defense system" is a modified "area air defense system" from the "Standard" series. "All of them are sought-after goods pushed by US first-class arms dealers to the international arms market, and have been sought after by many allies, including Turkey.

It is not bow shells that really change the face of air defense systems, but energy weapons.

With the Republic taking the lead in marketing the terminal air defense interception weapon system based on energy weapons in the international arms market at the beginning of the blade era, by the time of the power year, the laser-based energy air defense weapon system, especially the terminal interception system for various types of ammunition, had become very popular.

In a sense, these interception systems radically changed the basic composition of fire strikes.

Not to mention anything else, the Republic insists on strengthening artillery construction and investing huge sums of money to improve the performance of electromagnetic guns, precisely because artillery shells are more difficult to be intercepted by Philippine weapons.

Affected by the general trend, Turkey has also provided the United States with a drop laser interception system over the years.

All of these systems are deployed near important strategic facilities, including the Turkish Army's Southeast Theater Command in Hakari and the Turkish Army's Territorial Air Defense Southeast Command Center.

Mu Yong undoubtedly said that if you want to defeat the Turkish army, you have to defeat these two targets.

The problem is that in order to knock out these two targets in the ordinary way, at least hundreds of long-range missiles will be used, which will affect other strikes.

Because it is very likely that the United States has secretly strengthened the indigenous air defenses of the Turkish army, it is very likely that the final investment will be much larger than estimated. In other words, even if two groups of tactical fighters are dispatched, they may not be able to destroy these two vital strategic targets.

The beauty is terrible, this is a real combat operation, and you can't gamble on luck.

Because blowing up these two targets was related to the final result of the first round of bombing operations, Long Hongen not only had to pay enough attention to it when arranging tactical strike missions, but also had to find better methods.

In a sense, it was this problem that made Pei Chengyi delay coming up with a war plan.

If it weren't for Pei Chengyi's inadvertent mention of this issue during a phone call with Liu Xiaobin, and Liu Xiaobin took over all the work of the Military Intelligence Bureau a few years ago, I'm afraid Pei Chengyi would have to redeploy combat operations and push the entire war to start over.

With the help of the Military Intelligence Agency, the problem of stumping Long Hongen is no longer a problem.

Although according to the information announced by the Republic after the war, no experimental units participated in combat operations, and due to the influence of the third military reform, the Republic disbanded all the experimental units long before the end of the year, but many years later, Du Qiwei still firmly believed that the first shot in the Middle East War was definitely not the bombers or fighters of the Republic Air Force, but a test unit that was not at all within the regular establishment of the Republican ** Force, to be precise, it was a new type of ammunition dropped by a new fighter in a test flight unit.

Unbeknownst to Du Qiwei, the commander of this battle was Brigadier General Zai Yanghao, the No. 3 ace pilot of the Republic Navy who was second only to Liang Guoxiang and Zhu Ronghui in terms of combat performance.
