Chapter 359: The Last Calf for You
Without hesitation, Arslan picked up another Maverick missile, this time, aiming at an anti-aircraft gun position on the ground that was drawing a ribbon of light into the sky.
Everything was as skillful as walking and eating, and on the display screen in front of him, another ball of fire came out, and then, the position was dumb.
At this time, the two F-20 fighters in charge of air supremacy at the rear of the formation had accelerated their climbing, turned on their radars, and monitored the surrounding airspace to prevent Iranian fighters from causing damage to the bombing formation.
However, nothing was found, at this time, it was the gap in Iran's defense, and the usual bombing of Iraq was during the day, and the last sneak attack was in the middle of the night, like this at dusk, it was simply impossible, they were supposed to eat, but now they have eaten the bombs in the sky.
After launching the two Mavericks, the F-20 formation has flown over the target area, and they need to enter again, however, the bombing effect just now is very good, this time, there is no threatening target on the ground, those anti-aircraft artillery positions, ground-to-air missile positions, because the location has been known in advance, under the joint strike of the Red Bird II cruise missile and the Maverick missile, they have all been destroyed, and the only thing they need to guard against is the possible Iranian military personnel with shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft missiles.
At this time, the Iranians no longer had that mind, they were completely stunned by this round of fierce blows.
In normal times, they have also been bombed by the other side, but the other side has dropped many bombs, and there are not many targets that can hit them, such as anti-aircraft artillery positions, which keep firing at the air, and when the enemy planes fly away, not many are hit.
But now, the survivors suddenly found that the accuracy of the other party's bomb was terrifyingly high, as if they had eyes, and they flew towards them, and they couldn't dodge!
The ground was already in a terrible situation, littered with bombed-out buildings, weapons, and dead and wounded bodies.
The only thing that made them feel good was that the thick concrete hangars were still unharmed, and a missile hit the roof of one of the hangars, and only blew a small hole in the roof without causing any damage.
However, their mood did not last a minute.
The third batch of F-20 fighters also rushed to the airbase above the air base.
Looking at the sea of fire on the ground, Adnan also had a sense of excitement, thinking that at the beginning, their fighter plane was in the sky, as long as they encountered the Tomcat fighter of the Iranian Air Force, except to escape, it was shot down, and there was no third way to go.
Those Tomcat fighters used to be their lingering nightmare.
On the first day of the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq war, Adnan participated in the air raid on the Iranian air base, but the poor command and backward equipment did not cause substantial damage to the Iranian Air Force.
And today's operation is the end of the Iranian Air Force, and the Iranian fighters in those hangars will definitely be wiped out!
The Iranians can smuggle parts, they can have all kinds of ways to maintain their fleet, but the most basic fighters, they have to have, and if the fighters are also destroyed, no matter how many parts they have, they will not assemble the whole aircraft.
This time, there was no personnel guidance on the ground, because those hangars were very obvious, and their task was to throw the gem path laser-guided bombs they brought on the hangar according to the prior arrangement, and completely kill all the hangars and planes!
The laser irradiator under the belly of the F-20 fighter has been aimed at the top of the hangar, and the reflected laser beam is received by the laser seeker mounted on the head of the bomb, and the Paveway laser-guided bomb is ready.
Then, the pilot pressed the launch button on the boom, and a heavy gemway laser-guided bomb under the wing detached from the launch frame and flew downward.
While the Paveway bomb is flying, the seeker is already constantly receiving laser signals, which are transformed into electrical signals inside the bomb, controlling the rudder deflection of the tail of the bomb.
With huge kinetic energy, the 908-kilogram bomb, even without the explosion of the warhead, can smash the roof of the hangar with the force of falling from the sky, and the explosion of the explosives inside is enough to blow up a crater 15 meters wide and 10 meters deep on the ground.
Dealing with concrete fortifications is not a problem at all.
This bomb, after accurately falling from the sky to the roof of the hangar, triggered the ignition of the fuse, and a violent explosion occurred, directly lifting all the roofs, and then, falling heavily, the entire hangar has become a ruin.
With just one bomb, all the four hangars connected together were in ruins, and the fighters below had been completely destroyed.
In World War II, 10,000 bombs were needed to destroy a reinforced concrete permanent fortification, during the Vietnam War it was 300, and now, only one laser-guided bomb is needed to destroy this one fortification!
This is the power of technology, and the Air Force is a high-tech branch of the armed forces, and it must win with technology!
Subsequently, the fighters that came up from behind also dropped their own laser-guided bombs in turn.
This kind of laser-guided bomb without a code, if multiple bombs are dropped at the same time, it is easy to cause interference, so these eight F-20s are attacked in turn.
Every time there is a huge explosion, it is accompanied by the birth of a huge ruin, and all the buildings on the airport have been razed to the ground.
By the time the F-20 finished dropping laser-guided bombs, at this time, the early F-20 fighters and a few Maverick missiles did not attack, because they could not find a target to bomb!
Under Arslan's wing, there was also a Maverick missile left, and at this time, the attack mission had been successfully completed, and they should have returned in formation.
However, Arslan still didn't want to leave, and he hadn't had enough fun launching this missile just now, so he was a little unwilling to go back like this.
He turned the field of view of the TV seeker into the distance, and suddenly found that a convoy had come to the ground and they were here to rescue!
Damn the Iranians, why don't you send a couple of tanks over! Arslan complained a little, this Maverick missile, which can easily tear the armor of all tanks from the top, blowing the tank into a pile of scrap metal.
However, there was no better goal, and he could not hesitate to return as soon as possible.
Arslan adjusted the seeker of the Maverick missile more precisely, and from the convoy, he chose the jeep.
Although there were more people in the truck, he intuitively felt that the easier person in the jeep was a big man.
The last calf is for you!
Aiming with ease, locking onto the target, the last Maverick missile, flew away from the launch rail.
Arslan guessed correctly, this time he came really a big shot.
Inside the jeep was Iran's supreme spiritual leader, Ahmad Khomeini's son, Ahmed Khomeini, who was at an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps base less than ten miles from the air base.
After receiving the news of the attack on the air base, Ahmet immediately gathered his team and rushed to the airport!
Ahmed, the son of Khomeini and a staunch supporter of Khomeini, has a great position in Iran's top echelons and is likely to be the next Grand Ayatollah.
The Tehran airbase was attacked, and Ahmet knew that something bad was going to happen, because if this base was destroyed, then the Iranian air force would not be able to recover at all in a short time.
Although he did not have anti-aircraft weapons at hand, Ahmet decided to move to the base immediately, he needed to quickly extinguish the fires and rescue the wounded and fighters.
The anxiety made Ahmed lose his judgment a little, he didn't know that he had also become the prey of the other party.
Inside the jeep, Ahmed looked at the fire at the airport in the distance, and was in a very bad mood.
Rescue the plane! Extinguish the fire! That's all Ahmed can do.
"Attention! There are planes in the sky! At this time, a company commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps sitting in the passenger seat shouted, and he suddenly realized that the planes in the sky had not dispersed, and they were still flying arrogantly.
"Leave them alone!" Ahmed said: "Let's hurry to the airport! ”
As soon as Ahmed's words were finished, the company commander said even more anxiously: "No, your safety is more important, oh no! ”
His eyes had been attracted by the flying missile, as if time had stopped, and from the flying missile, he seemed to see that the TV camera inside the glass cover at the front of the missile was looking at him, revealing a hideous face.
Ahmed also saw it, his mind was short-circuited in an instant, and the Iraqis didn't even let go of his convoy?
The driver was also in a hurry, and immediately accelerated, trying to go around to the side of a car next to him and use that car to block it.
"Boom!" The next moment, the missile exploded on the car, piercing the car from the top, and then, a violent explosion came, and under the huge force, the entire car body was already in pieces, and Ahmed did not even have a slag left.
Arslan looked at the image on the display, pressed the lever with satisfaction, let the wings shake twice, and began to return in formation.
This time they raised the altitude and came to an altitude of 10,000 meters, and the two escort fighters searched the entire airspace and did not find any Iranian fighters.
With a high attitude, they began to return home, by this time, the sky was already dark, and the fire was still burning in the Tehran air base.
The Iranian plateau is shrouded in darkness, and the entire Iranian Air Force is also shrouded in boundless darkness.
The air force of the Southern Military Region of Iraq became famous in this war, and this air raid, until later generations, has been included in the textbook cases of modern air raids, and future air raids are completely the world of precision-guided weapons!
