Chapter 655: Phantom 4000 vs. F-15
readx;
On the calm sea, a large salvage ship came to a few dozen kilometers off the coast of the Caspian Sea in northern Iran, where they stopped, dropped anchor, and began salvage operations. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧
This ship will definitely not come for no reason, although the Caspian Sea is calm, but the situation in this world has become the most turbulent because of this.
The United States was unwilling to directly confront the Soviet Union, and a direct military conflict between the two superpowers would trigger a world war at any time, but the United States could not give up its own Blackbird, and if the Blackbird was obtained by the Soviet Union, then the secrets of the United States would be lost.
Therefore, when the reconnaissance satellite once again flew over the Caspian Sea and could almost be found that the other side was about to complete the salvage, the United States finally made up its mind: destroy the reconnaissance plane and not let the Soviet Union get it!
From the Turkish air base, the United States took off two F-15s and two F-16 fighters, which were covered by the F-15s, carrying Maverick missiles, ready to attack.
This is a complete surprise attack, they need to enter the Caspian Sea area from those complex mountains in the Iranian plateau, and this strike also needs to be very careful, they want to destroy the Blackbird, but they can't hit the salvaged ships next to it, so they can only get close and use TV-guided Maverick missiles to attack. ≦≧
The difficulty of their attack was much lower than that of the sè columns, because they had to fly over the mountains of northern Iran, which were now not subordinate to the present Iranian zhèngfu, were in a state of almost autonomy, and they no longer had an air force. The air defense forces are probably also in a state of disintegration.
Moreover, the mountains will hide their whereabouts, I am afraid that until they reach the sky over the Caspian Sea, no one will find out, and even if they do, they will not suspect that they are flying from Turkey from the US Air Force.
Quick. Send shè Maverick missiles, completely smash the blackbird to pieces, and then quickly retreat. Before Iran, Iraq, and the USSR reacted. To complete the task of destroying their own reconnaissance planes, I did not expect that the Americans would have to deal with their own fighters, but they would have to be so troublesome!
Even the world's most powerful intelligence agency, the CIA, did not find out that this salvage was a trap.
In the Kurdistan region, Iraq's Tianyan-2 pre-aircraft has been keeping an eye on the skies in northern Iran. ≦≧Now, the salvage work is steadily unfolding, the trap has been dug and is just waiting for the Yankees to take the bait.
Just while waiting for the invading American plane to the north, in the western part of Iraq. A battle has begun.
The radar receiver in the headset kept ringing, and Luo Neng had tried his best, but he couldn't get rid of the missile, and then, he saw the white smoke come up and hit the engine in the tail.
Suddenly. The lights in front of the plane were all lit up, and he turned off his right engine, hoping to continue flying with the engine on the left.
However, he did not succeed, because, subsequently, a second missile also flew up, turning his fighter plane into a fireball in the air.
Before losing his instincts, Luo Neng remembered a mistake he had made, just now, he should have given the order to terminate the mission and return home.
The hateful Iraqis must be in the top of their own side, there are their spies, I did not expect that it is not enough to have the traitor Vanunu in Dimona, there are also spies of the Arabs at the top! They are the scum of the Jews!
It's a pity that Luo Neng didn't have a chance to scold these guys anymore, and the flames behind him came, and he then lost consciousness. ≦≧
The two cars, because they had received accurate information about each other in advance, suddenly turned on at a close distance and locked on to each other, so they took the lead and successfully shot down the two planes, but then, they had no chance.
Because, the other side flew too fast, they turned on the radar at a distance of fifteen kilometers, fired shè missiles at a distance of ten kilometers, and after the missiles hit the target, the other fighters had already flown above them.
Then, the squadron leader of the Red Sè Fighter Squadron, Amos Yadlin, in a fit of rage, used one of his own mounted GBU-15 television-guided bombs and dropped them on the unfolded radar vehicle at the visible missile position.
According to their experience, as long as the radar vehicle is killed, this missile company will lose its combat capability, although it is relatively fast in the sky, they can also clearly see that it is their old adversary, the SAM-6 missile. ≦≧
They were attacked by a sneak attack this time, and every second of time was very precious, in this case, only the most experienced Amos was ready to drop bombs and strike, and the rest of the planes, not ready, had already flown over the other side.
Because, the total time is less than thirty seconds!
Seeing the destruction of the radar car on the TV screen, Amos breathed a sigh of relief, now they are safe, although they have been discovered, although the captain of the formation has been killed this time, but Amos, who took over the command, still decided to carry out the original plan, even if the bombing of Baghdad could not be carried out, it would be thrown down by Ramadi in western Baghdad with the anger of the sè column!
The fighters behind followed the whistling past.
It's just that they miscalculated this time.
That's not the Sam-6 missile battery, as long as the radar car is destroyed, the entire missile company loses its combat capability, they are the Sam-11 missile, this kind of missile, each hair shè car can carry out the task of guided missiles!
Hearing that the radar car was blown up, the commander of the missile company was filled with righteous indignation, and without his order, the remaining three missiles flew into the sky. ≦≧
The combat qualities of the Iraqi missile forces are also very high, and after the completion of the first wave of attacks, they are ready for the second launch.
It's just that the fighter plane is fleeting, and they only catch the two points of light behind the other party.
The missile flew up again, and the F-16 fighter of the Panther fighter squadron, after carrying the Paveway laser-guided bomb, was not good at maneuvering, and as a result, it was hit by the missiles behind, one was destroyed, and the other was very lucky, because the missile company only used the last missile to aim at him, and, after he flew lower, the semi-active radar-guided missile lost its target for various reasons.
The air attack formation, which entered Iraq's airspace for less than a few tens of kilometers, was hit by the first wave, losing three aircraft, two F-15 air superiority fighters of the Iron Hammer squadron, and one F-16 fighter of the Black Panther squadron, however, their main forces remained, and their goals would not be abandoned!
Now that Iraq's ground anti-aircraft fire had been discovered, Amos, who had regained command of the formation, ordered the remaining two F-15 fighters of the Iron Hammer squadron to climb to an altitude of 6,000 meters, turn on the radar, monitor the surrounding airspace, and escort the air attack formation, while the other two squadrons, still at low altitude, they had to continue to advance and complete their tasks.
The pilots of the two fighters of the Iron Hammer Squadron were furious because of the loss of two of their companions, and at the same time, they turned their grief into strength and climbed high to prepare for the challenge from the Iraqi Air Force!
The APG-63 radar of the F-15 is a full-waveform digital pulse Doppler radar with three pulse repetition rates: high, medium and low. It can have good upward and downward detection capabilities for targets entering in all azimuths at all radar carrier aircraft altitudes. It realizes omnidirectional, full-height, and low-speed coverage of downward-looking detection. Moreover, for targets the size of a fighter, the range of action exceeds 185 kilometers.
After turning on the fire control radar, the two fighters quickly scanned the surrounding airspace, and sure enough, they found two fighters flying from the south. Judging from the route of their flight, they are definitely here to block themselves, and besides, the other party is already one hundred and fifty kilometers away from them, and in a few minutes, they may launch an attack on their own formation.
Now that you're in the skies over Iraq, let's fight! Shay and his wingman, Girard, piloted the plane and turned south, intending to deal with the two threats first.
Since the pre-plane was more than 200 kilometers to their side, their airborne radar did not detect the Iraqi pre-plane, otherwise, the primary goal of their air battle would have been to shoot down the pre-plane.
Little did they know that it was the trump card in the Iraqi sky, Falcon Reyer and his wingman.
Now, the Mirage 4000 has solved the transmission problem of the data link with the pre-jing machine, so they do not need voice guidance, and only rely on the information transmitted by the data link to know the direction of the invasion of enemy aircraft.
Two of them actually climbed high and flew towards them, and Reyer knew that it must be the opponent's escort fighters, as long as they killed the opponent's escort fighters first, the rest were the lambs they slaughtered.
Under the wings of Reyer, four Super Matra 530 missiles and two Magic air-to-air missiles are mounted. Although Iraq has imported Sky Flash missiles, because it has just been introduced, it has not yet completed the matching work mounted on the Mirage 4000, but it is the F-20 that can mount Sparrows, because Sky Flash is developed on the basis of Sparrows, and it has been matched during development, and anyone who can mount Sparrow missiles can easily mount Sky Flash missiles, so Sky Flash is temporarily equipped with F-20 squadrons.
The Matra 530 missile cannot be compared with the Sparrow missile, and one of the keys is shè Cheng.
The Matra 530 missile has a range of just over 20 kilometers, while the AIM-7F missile mounted by the Sè fighter has a range of 40 kilometers.
Therefore, when the two sides are in the process of head-on air combat, the F-15 fighters of the Sè column have an advantage, and they can launch the SHÈ missiles first, so they can hit the other side first, and in the air battle, the side that launches the SHÈ missiles first must definitely have an advantage.
However, the Phantom 4000 has another advantage, which is the pre-jing machine!
