Arslan looked at the brand-new plane parked on the runway, and his heart was full of excitement, because the fighter plane numbered 68001 belonged to him!

Although piloting the MiG-23, Arslan achieved the result of shooting down the Iranian Tomcat fighter, but he also knew that the surname of the aircraft was too important.

Although the MiG-23 is a variable-skimming fighter, it is complex and bulky, backward in fire control, equipped with very primitive missiles, and is easy to miss the target.

And this new F-20 fighter is completely different, the turbofan engine with large thrust is very fuel-efficient, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the whole aircraft is more than 1, and because it is a light fighter, it is very agile, even the small MiG-21, in terms of mobile surname, I am afraid it cannot compare with this kind of fighter. What's more important is that the electronic equipment of this fighter is advanced, especially the AN/APG-67 radar in the nose, which can almost be said to be the most advanced radar currently equipped in the Iraqi Air Force.

Although the fighter plane has just arrived, they have already carried out modification training for several months, using imported flight simulators and two two-seater fighters to carry out adaptation training, but time does not allow it, and they do not fly solo, however, it is not surprising that pilots of their level directly take to the air to fight in this kind of war.

Stepping into the cockpit of the F-20 for the first time, although it is only a simulator, Arslan also feels extremely excited, the dense instruments of the Soviet-style fighter in front of it are gone, and the two displays in front of it look so kind, especially the multi-function display shows the various data of the flight, and there is no need to look at those instruments one by one, it is a huge progress!

Not to mention the variety of modes provided by the radar, the ability to look down on the MiG-23, which is completely capable, not only can see at medium and high altitudes, but also at low altitudes is no longer blind. And that even more amazing terrain mapping ability can actually use radar to show the shape of the ground! He is well aware of the importance of this model, and it will be very useful in ground attacks! Moreover, when flying at ultra-low altitude, you can also know the terrain in front of you in advance, which is convenient for flying.

Sit back and enjoy it first! Arslan couldn't help it and wanted to climb the ladder to go up.

"Captain, the military region has an urgent telegram, please go to the military region for an emergency combat meeting." At this moment, a voice came from behind.

As soon as Arslan looked up, it was his wingman pilot, Al Khalid Javri.

Military area emergency electricity? It seems that there is a good thing again! Arslan was overjoyed and immediately jumped into a jeep next to him.

Go to the military district!

"Our operation this time is to completely destroy all the air power of the Iranians at the Tehran air base on the ground with a clean bombing!" Zhang Feng said.

The elites of the Air Force of the Southern Military District, who participated in the meeting, were immediately surprised in their hearts.

After the war situation in the north fell into a crisis, they had already begun to privately figure out what they should do if they were sent to support, whether to bomb Bakhtaran or go to Hamadan, no one thought that His Excellency Qusay's idea was to completely destroy the air base of the Iranians!

"There are long-range warning radars in that air base, as well as several sets of anti-aircraft missiles, and our attack will bear a lot of risks, not to mention, the Tomcat fighters of the Iranians may hover in the sky, and his radar will detect us at a distance of 100 kilometers, and it will be very difficult for us to blow them up on the ground." Adnan said.

In the Southern Military District, this habit has long been formed, and junior officers can freely express their opinions, which is impossible in the Northern Military District, which is why His Excellency Qusay is deeply loved by the military. However, no matter what they say, as long as His Excellency Qusay has made up his mind, they will definitely not hesitate to carry it out, even at the cost of their own lives!

"This base is very well defended, and it will be very difficult for us to sneak up on them from the sky, but it doesn't mean it's impossible." Arslan said: "If we also take the Iranian plateau and fly at low altitudes, we can evade the monitoring of the Iranians' long-range early warning radar, and if we plan the route, we can completely play a surprise attack." ”

"In that case, we won't have enough fuel." Adnan said.

Carrying bombs and flying at ultra-low altitudes is quite a waste of fuel.

"We can land at the airport in the north." Arslan said.

This guy is really a genius, Zhang Feng listened to the discussion below, and the entire attack plan had surfaced.

It is not as usual, directly from Basra to the north, directly to Tehran, but first to the north in their own country, after reaching the Iranian plateau, and then to the direction of Tehran to fly at a low altitude, so that it is enough to hide the other side's radar network, and even if the Iranians take off the Tomcat fighter, the target is Bakhtalam, and there is no time to take into account the situation on the entire Iranian plateau, and when it is 200 kilometers away from the Tehran air base, it can launch the Red Bird 2 cruise missile, after killing the early warning radar of the Iranians, A large number of warplanes also rushed to the battlefield, using gemway laser-guided bombs and Maverick air-to-surface missiles to blow up every hangar!

The intelligence officers of the Messiah Bureau have been repeatedly observing from a distance in the past few days, and have almost identified the Tomcat fighters in those hangars, and the Iranians currently have more than a dozen Tomcat fighters, and moreover, more aircraft are being repaired.

This time, to hell with all these fighters that pose a threat to them!

"Now, I assign combat missions." Zhang Feng said.

When they heard this, all the people were upright.

"Hamad's 115th fighter squadron, carrying the Red Bird II air-launched missiles, entered in the first wave, and immediately returned after launching cruise missiles." Zhang Feng said.

At this time, the Red Bird II already has a range of about 200 kilometers, but the team led by Joseph has not yet tackled the fire control match between this cruise missile and the F-20, although the weapon interface is opened, which still requires the hard work of Iraqi technicians, so for the time being, it is still mounted on the Mirage F1 fighter, the range of this fighter is not as long as the F-20, so let them return immediately after launching the cruise missile, and after the huge cruise missile is mounted, The Mirage F1 also does not have the ability to mount the Matra 530 missile, nor can it play the role of air defense.

"Yes!" Hamad accepted the assignment.

"The 122 and 123 fighter squadrons in Arslan, mounted on the introduced Maverick surface-to-air missiles and Sparrow air-to-air missiles, you are responsible for hitting targets on the ground with Maverick ground-to-air missiles at twenty kilometers, including aircraft on the runway, anti-aircraft missiles and anti-aircraft artillery positions that have not been destroyed, providing fire cover for the aircraft entering behind, and, after the strike is completed, climbing high to provide cover for the follow-up formations."

The Maverick surface-to-air missile, numbered AGM-65, also known as the "young animal" missile, is an air-to-surface missile weapon launched outside the defense zone developed by the Hughes Corporation and the Raysion Corporation of the United States, which can accurately strike point targets. The body of the missile is cylindrical, with four triangular wings and rudder in an X-shaped configuration, and the power plant is a dual-thrust single-stage solid rocket engine, with a length of 2.64 meters, a range of 24 kilometers, and a cruising speed slightly exceeding the speed of sound.

The missile has three guidance methods: electronic guidance, laser guidance and infrared thermal imaging guidance, among them, infrared imaging guidance is the most advanced, but exported to Iraq, is a B-type television guidance model, it uses a field of view of 5 degrees and 25 degrees of television guidance system, due to the field of view magnification, so that the pilot can control the seeker at a longer distance to lock the target, reduce the exposure time of the carrier aircraft in the target area; The warhead is of the shaped charge blasting type, with an instantaneous fuse. This missile has a long range, advanced guidance methods, and a high hit rate, but it can only be used on sunny days during the day and is susceptible to factors such as rain, clouds, fog, and smoke.

However, the import of this missile has also allowed Iraq to have more advanced air-to-surface weapons, which are a multiplier of Iraq's air force, but unfortunately, only 30 missiles have been exported, and in this attack, six missiles carrying this kind of missile, each with four hangings, will consume almost half of it.

However, it is more important to take out the other party's airfields and planes.

The remaining two, carrying Sparrow medium-range shells, provide cover for the attacking group.

After all, the F-20 is a light fighter, with only five pylons, and one has to be freed up for auxiliary fuel tanks, and this situation will only change after the arrival of heavy fighters.

"Yes." Arslan replied that he liked it very much when he heard about it.

"Your squadron has just changed to fly the F-20, and moreover, it is going to be on a combat mission, so you must be prepared and don't go wrong!" Zhang Feng said.

"Yes." Arslan replied.

If in peacetime, they did not carry out a year or so of modification training, and had hundreds of hours of flight experience, they would not have been allowed to participate in this kind of operation, and now, they have only conducted more than 10 hours of training on the trainer plane, and they dare to fly alone to meet the battle, but they have already had hundreds of hours of flight simulation on the simulator, and they are all experienced pilots, and they have a relatively good grasp of this kind of fighter, and the fire control system is also completely familiar.

"Adnan's 117 and 118 fighter squadrons, all equipped with the new Paveway bombs introduced, after the previous bombing is completed, enter last, be sure to destroy all the hangars, we will break the wings of the Iranian Air Force!"

The two squadrons were also all F-20 fighters, and the Paveway bombs were heavier, each plane could only carry two, 16 bombs, enough to blow up those large hangars.

"Yes." Adnan replied.

Although there are only 20 fighters, the bombing effect is definitely better than that of a large group of planes bombing Bakhtaran.

Carpet bombing has long been behind, and the future is the era of precision guidance!
