The reason why the West is not interested in the meter-wave radar and has long abandoned the meter-wave radar is that the accuracy of this radar is limited, and the target can be found on the radar screen, but it can only roughly know the various data of the target, the altitude, speed, course, and the error is afraid that it is at a distance of tens of meters or even hundreds of meters, and this kind of accuracy cannot be used to guide air defense missiles at all, and it can only be a long-range early warning radar at most.

And the Aegis system, which the United States is vigorously developing, has long replaced the role of all radars with one radar, and there is no need for this kind of meter-wave radar of the lower riba people. Only when stealth aircraft became popular, did military researchers discover the advantages of this radar, which could be used to detect stealth aircraft!

Moreover, how to attack stealth planes is also a topic of their research, a meter-wave radar cannot accurately determine the bearing, and is used to guide anti-aircraft missiles, but with three meter-wave radars, a triangular radar network can be accurately determined through differential calculation.

Theoretically speaking, this method is feasible, but it is necessary to invest a lot of manpower and material resources in research, and now Pakistan, all the focus is on the development of the Aegis system, overcoming various technical difficulties of active phased array radar, and it is not possible to study the complex differential calculation for the time being.

So, Pakistan has used a different approach.

In addition to this meter-wave radar, other devices are also rapidly deploying, and on a truck, the quadruple SAM-3 anti-aircraft missiles began to quickly reveal their bodies, and the four missiles pointed diagonally at the sky.

In terms of performance, this missile is already very backward, this is an anti-aircraft missile designed and manufactured by the USSR in the fifties, which was exported to many countries.

Although it is already old. But the sword is not old, and in the later Yugoslav Federation, it was this kind of missile that shot down the F-117.

And now, on the international arms market, or from within the USSR, such stockpiles of missiles were smuggled out. It is also very easy, so the Pakistani technicians have modified it, and the missile body is still the Sam-3 projectile, but the electronic equipment has been completely renewed, and the old tubes have been replaced by integrated circuits, which has greatly improved the performance. Pakistan's new missiles are still being developed. Moreover, the use of such missiles is also convenient for Pakistan to dissociate itself from relations and save the United States from suspicion in the future.

On the other truck, the antenna of a flat panel is unfolded! If you look at it with the naked eye, you can see that this flat plate is composed of small cylinders, which is a kind of phased array radar!

Right now. Pakistan has overcome the technical difficulties of phased array radar and has begun to process the large amount of data required by the later Aegis system. And the radar of this vehicle-mounted chassis was also transported here to test the combat capability of this radar.

The other vehicle, the power supply vehicle, connects to other vehicles through cables to provide enough energy.

Mix and match old and new. The combination of new and old weapons will bring out the most power!

These vehicles, including the equipment above, are jungle camouflage, and. A special anti-infrared treatment is applied to ensure that it is not detected by the infrared imaging device.

At the same time, all vehicles have self-detonation devices, and once the situation gets out of control, such as the sudden entry of the US military, and these equipment are too late to be withdrawn, then they will talk about detonating the vehicles and will not let the United States find out. Is the United States a friend of Pakistan? Even if it is, it was only before, and now, the United States is wielding the big stick of sanctions and brutally interfering in Pakistan's internal affairs, and the Pakistanis have long been disappointed in the United States. Moreover, the army has made it its duty to obey orders! For the current troops, testing their combat effectiveness is their first priority!

"Do not turn on the aircraft lightly, so as not to be detected by the electronic reconnaissance aircraft of the Americans." said Kazakh, the company commander of the special anti-aircraft missile company.

Aboud and others were not idle, and when the fighters of the missile company deployed their missiles, they began to lay out a defensive line on the perimeter, pits, mines, and once someone approached, they would be hit.

This area is their defensive area, and their task is to protect the missile positions, and if necessary, blow up the equipment and protect the retreat of the fighters of the missile company.

Little by little, the clock was getting dark.

Tonopah Base, Nevada.

As night fell, it was time for the base to work again.

Due to the need for secrecy, all the personnel in the base live a life of black and white upside down, and all the biological clocks have been adjusted, all for the interests of the United States!

All the training was carried out at night, and these pilots were like ghosts in the dark.

Now, it's time to work!

The lights in the cave are bright, a bomb loading car, roaring over, in front of the car is a mechanical claw, at this time there is a 900 kg laser guided bomb sandwiched on it, this is not a training bomb, this is a live bomb!

The hatch inside the belly of the aircraft has been opened, and the missile, with the help of a mechanical claw, is fixed in the bomb bay inside the belly.

If you want to be stealthy, you have to avoid all kinds of additional radiation, so the F-117 uses a built-in bomb bay. It can carry a variety of precision-guided weapons in service with the US military, and this laser-guided bomb is almost the largest model.

"This is the first time our fighter has made a real combat flight, and this is the time to test us." In a small building at the base, said the commander of the Lieutenant Colonel Flight Wing of the 37th Tactical Fighter Wing. A few days ago, they were the 4450 Tactical Brigade, and now, they have been renamed the Tactical Fighter Wing, because, they are going to war!

His eyes, looking at the pilots below, with a hint of excitement: "We have spent seven years in this base in black and white, and now, it's time to test our combat effectiveness!" ”

He was the first official F-117 attack aircraft pilot, Wheatley.

In 80, when Wheatley was an instructor at the base's fighter school with the rank of major. He still remembers being persuaded by Colonel Bob Jackson, commander of Air Tactical Command at Leigh Air Force Base in Virginia, to return to his old job and fly A-7s. More than 30 people were selected together, all of whom were experienced pilots of A-7 attack aircraft, and many of them had actual combat experience.

However, the secrecy measures are very tight, which makes them feel that it is not as simple as flying an A-7 attack aircraft, and sure enough, when the fighter plane is finally handed over to them, they find out that this is a science fiction fighter, which can only be done by alien technology in the United States!

After that, they began training, and within a few years, they were completely proficient in this aircraft, which had powerful stealth performance, and even if it entered the airspace of the USSR, they could not detect it!

And now, the first actual combat has finally arrived.

"We're going to get six planes ready to go to Panama." Wheatley was placed on a combat mission.

Go to Panama! Suddenly, someone below gasped: "God, then we have to do at least five in-flight refueling!" ”

This is Nevada, far from Panama!

"Yes, we need to refuel in the air five times before we get to Panama," he said. "We're going to take off in the middle of the night, plan to fly for 18 hours, and the next night, after nightfall, we're in the war zone, and after the bombing mission, we're going to go back to the Air Force base in Florida, where we're going to rest, and then we're back to base," Wheatley said. ”

It's a long journey! Due to the need for secrecy, the F-117 is stationed only at the current base, and the maximum range of this aircraft is only two or three thousand meters, after the heavy bomb is added, the range will be further shortened, and if you want to attack long-distance, you have to refuel in the air, and in order to continue to have enough fuel to land at a nearby airport after the refueling failure, they need at least five air refueling!

Refueling in the air, and at night, is very dangerous, but fortunately, since they became the pilots of the F-117, they have been conducting in-flight refueling training twice a month. Now, the biggest enemy they have encountered is not Panama, but their own fatigue!

18 hours! This is not a wide bomber, you can take a break after putting the plane on autopilot, this is a single-seat attack aircraft! In the cabin, even moving their bodies is a luxury, and the 18-hour non-stop flight is simply a test of their physical strength.

In '86 and '87, there were two consecutive crashes, both caused by pilot fatigue.

"We need six fighters, who wants to go?" Wheatley continued.

"I'll go, I'll go!" One person has stretched out his hand, although this mission will be very hard, but they are flying the plane now, just to fight, if they can't fight, isn't it a waste of taxpayers' money? Moreover, they all have a sense of eagerness to try and hope that they can fly over the heads of the Panamanians and drop bombs without the other party knowing!

"Yes, very good." Wheatley had already had an idea in mind, and the six best-trained pilots, including him, became the main force of the raid.

"Everybody put this on in advance." Wheatley gave each person a package, and when they opened it, it was a diaper!

After going up, there is no toilet, not to mention peeing, even if it is big, it has to be solved like this!

"Okay, let's move on to tactics." Wheatley said that the choice of refueling points and the time of entry into Panama must be accurately calculated, and they must cooperate with other troops. (To be continued......)
