A bright spot suddenly flashed on the screen of the long-range early warning radar on the Babur-class warship.

At this time, the radar soldier, who had just taken over for a few months, was already a little tired from his eyes due to continuous work, and he just used the peripheral vision of his eyes to sweep the bright spots on the radar screen.

Suddenly, he was taken aback, the highlight was that there were flying objects, and here, it could only be Iraqi fighter jets.

Alert! He just wanted to pick up the phone next to him and report to the captain, but found that the bright spot had disappeared from the radar screen.

He hesitated, could it be that he was dazzled just now?

In the few minutes of hesitation, the Babur-class warship lost its last chance.

The launch of ship-to-air missiles does not mean that they can be launched immediately, the standard **-1MR box-type ship-to-air missile launcher needs to be rotated to the position where the threat is, the missile needs to be powered on and warmed up, and the fire control radar that controls the missile separately needs to receive the information of the early warning radar and then turn on the machine, and irradiate the target for the ship-to-air missile guided by the semi-active radar, all of which takes time.

Moreover, due to the loss of some of the skilled non-commissioned officers, the time may be extended.

After Hamad returned to the low altitude, he descended to a height of only twenty meters above the sea again, and in the dark night, making such a move is tantamount to dancing with death, but the electronics of the Phantom F1 are very powerful, and can correctly keep the Phantom F1 at this altitude, and the wind and waves are not very strong tonight, otherwise, if a wave is lifted, the plane will be smashed in the turbulence of the air current.

Relying on the habitual navigation system, Hamad flew flat for two minutes again, and this time, he was completely sure that he was within the effective range of Exocet and outside the range of the opponent's ship-to-air missiles.

In this era, there is no such concept as stand-off weapons, but it is definitely a cool thing to be able to use weapons with a longer range and launch an effective attack on the enemy in places that the opponent cannot reach.

Hamad knows that the most important moment has finally arrived.

The phantom F1 attached to the sea, in the dark night, revealed its fierce and domineering side, like a dragon out of the water, suddenly jumped up again, in the hot air flow discharged from the tail nozzle, printed against the missile mounted on the abdomen, there was a kind of fierce murderous aura.

Phantom F1 once again raised its noble head from a low altitude and soared to a height of a thousand meters.

The "Celano" IV fire control radar was turned on for a short time, and it had already firmly locked on to the target, and it was naturally the warship with the largest echo.

A series of pale green parameters of the enemy's ship movement jumped out on the radar display, and the on-board computer began to quickly calculate, according to the opponent's speed, course, own speed, course and other data, set the appropriate parameters for the Exocet missile, when to carry out the habitual flight, when to climb and dive, when to carry out the final attack, all the lines, in the nervous calculation, at the same time lost to the Exocet missile.

At this moment, the flying fish, like a soldier who is being trained for the last time before departure, is receiving all the data.

Although it is already the most advanced technology in France, it takes tens of seconds to complete all this.

Hamad held his breath, he knew that now was his most dangerous time, as long as the sound of the radar warning receiver sounded, it meant that he had been targeted by the other party.

During this time, Hamad's landline plane has clearly appeared on the screen of the Babur-class early warning radar.

It's really the wolf this time. The radar soldiers knew that this point of light represented that Iraqi fighter planes were flying. It doesn't matter how the other side flew in, the most important thing is to shoot down this Iraqi plane and protect the safety of its own fleet.

Afshar learned of the discovery of Iraqi fighters and immediately sounded the ship's air defense alarm. At the same time, order ship-to-air missiles to quickly lock on to the target and knock down this target that is a threat to your own fleet!

The standard **-1MR box-to-air missile launcher, which began to turn half a circle, aimed at the airspace where the threat is, and the fire control radar that guides the standard missile has been turned on and is ready to lock on to the target.

The soldiers on the destroyer, in the shortest possible time, completed all the preparations for air defense. It's just that the other side is still 40 kilometers away from itself, and this distance is a little far for a standard anti-aircraft missile, and you have to wait a few more seconds, and the opponent can launch the missile when it gets close to a distance of 30 kilometers.

Suddenly, the shining point of light disappeared.

Hamad finally passed the most dangerous tens of seconds, and all the launch data had been transmitted to the Exocet missile under the belly of the plane, and then he pressed the launch button on the boom stick.

The huge fuselage shook, and under the belly, the missile more than four meters long had already ignited, dragging a long tongue of flame, leaving the pylons under the belly and running into the dark night sky.

Hamad did not look at the missile, and in such a night, it was suddenly illuminated by a bright light, and it was easy to risk temporary blindness.

He also did not look at the effect of the missile, pulled the rod to the helm, and began to return home.

The Exocet detached from the carrier aircraft and, according to the pre-set course, lowered the altitude to fifteen meters.

At this time, the atmosphere on the Babur-class destroyer was already tense to the extreme, and the radar crew was surprised to find that the opponent's plane had already returned to its own 35 kilometers away.

What a cunning guy, knowing that there is the farthest distance of your own anti-aircraft missiles.

The radar soldier just wanted to relax, but found that there was a small bright spot on the radar screen, and then the small bright spot disappeared. He snapped to the knowledge he had received in training.

"Report to the captain, the other side has fired a missile!" The radar soldier said in a somewhat flustered voice.

"Standard missiles, ready to intercept incoming missiles, 23mm guns, ready for final interception, all ship's personnel, ready to be attacked." Afshar said calmly.

The Iraqis launched missiles? It must be Iraq that imported Soviet Styx missiles, and Afshire clearly knows that in the third Middle East war, Egypt launched six "Styx" missiles and sank the Israeli destroyer "Eilat" and a merchant ship, opening the prelude to anti-ship missile strikes on warships.

However, the cruise altitude of the Styx missile is about 100 meters, and it can be shot down with standard anti-aircraft missiles.

So, Afshire was not worried.

However, then, the voice of the radar soldier completely put him in the ice cellar.

"Report to the captain, the radar has lost the echo of that missile."

The Flying Fish was launched in the air at a distance of one thousand meters, and after launching, it had been lowered to a height of fifteen meters, far lower than the height of one hundred meters in the River Styx, and the radar found that the distance of the flying object at this altitude would not exceed five kilometers, and at that time, the Flying Fish had been reduced to a sea-skimming flight altitude of three meters.

"It could be that the missile fired by the Iraqis fell into the sea." Said the co-captain.

"The radar focused on scanning the airspace just now, and the fire control radar paid attention, and after discovering it, it immediately launched a missile to destroy the anti-ship missile." Afshar is not so confident, it would be nice if it really fell into the sea, but if it is a new missile, then the standard missiles loaded on his own warship are not capable of intercepting at all.

Exocet missiles, flying fast in the dark, only the flame in the tail confirmed its existence.

There is no trace left on the sea, but I have already flown over!

ps: Thank you for the reward of "Chubby I said"!
