Chapter 317: Red Bird Two, Fly to the Target!

The annoying radar signal in the radar warning receiver in the back finally disappeared, and Fibil finally put his mind at ease, the next time he came back, he must hang two Matra 530 missiles, so that he would not have to be chased and embarrassed like tonight.

"Attention, course 2-3-2, return to Basra." Phoebe shouted over the radio.

Why didn't the Iranians chase after them? Fibiel didn't think about it, before the introduction of the Mirage F1, when he encountered the Iranian Tomcat fighters, all the pilots had only one choice: escape!

He didn't know that it was the cruise missile that had just been launched that allowed them to successfully break away from Tomcat's Yinwei.

Eight Red Bird 2 missiles, following the already set route and under the command of the brain of the 80286 chip, are ready to deliver a thunderous blow.

Although this chip is still very primitive, compared with later generations, it is 108,000 miles away, but now, it is definitely a powerful CPU, it is constantly working, calculating, and comparing.

The height of the hill in the front right is exactly the same as the number map on the bullet, proving that there is no mistake!

It's just that its brain can only compare whether it is walking the correct route, but it cannot make judgments about the surrounding situation.

No matter how advanced the UAVs in later generations are, they will never be able to replace people, and the same is true.

After flying fifty kilometers, the missile again dropped to a height of thirty meters.

"Report, on the radar screen, the other party suddenly disappeared." Said the radar officer in the aft compartment.

Because the opponent flew at a very low altitude, the huge immortal bird missile, which was mainly used to attack high-altitude bomber targets, could not lock on to those targets in the complex echo at all, and could be unlocked at any time.

In this kind of dark night, flying exactly according to the instrument, at that altitude, is simply looking for death, even if the pulse Doppler radar with topographic mapping ability, which completely shows the surrounding environment, will cause a collision with the ground due to the problem of reaction time.

And those planes, how did they do it? Karathbari didn't have time to think about how the other side did it, what he needed most now was to knock them all down, because they were flying towards Tehran!

Who knows, when approaching twenty kilometers, the other party suddenly disappeared from the radar screen!

Could it be that the other party made a roll? However, it can't disappear from the radar screen all the time, right?

"STT mode, be sure to find each other!" Calat Barry said.

STT mode is a single target tracking mode, it is a collection of radar all energy, with continuous electromagnetic waves, only one target, the target information obtained is also the most complete, but it is not easy to lose the target, but the radar will lose the perception of other targets, which is like using a flashlight to shine at a place, other places can not be seen, however, the focus of the illuminated is the clearest.

Be sure to find each other! That's a huge threat! Kalatbari was out.

The radar officer in the rear compartment immediately manually intervened to switch the radar to this mode, and then irradiated the airspace where the target had just disappeared.

Finally, in the echo, those bright spots were found, and at this moment, a number of targets had been lost, and it seemed that the other party had separated directions, and the height had dropped to an incredible thirty meters!

Thirty meters! In this kind of dark night, it is not risking, but actually looking for death, that is, flying at this altitude during the day, it is definitely looking for death, this is not sea level, but uneven ground! This kind of thing, I'm afraid only the kamikaze drones of the Second World War era can do it!

Iraqis, do you need to work so hard?

Until now, Karathbari did not know that what he was chasing was not an airplane at all, but an unmanned missile, and for this missile, it did not matter day or night at all.

"Descend the height, and we'll follow." Calat Barry said.

Since the other side can fly so low, they naturally have to reduce the altitude, and then, solve it from the rear with Sidewinder missiles.

On the other side of the battlefield, the F-20 formation was also flying in the dark.

After taking off, the Mirage F1 formation crossed the Shatt, Ahvaz and flew north, while the F-20 formation, to the southeast, divided into three squads, targeting Isfahan, Yazd and Kerman.

The F-20 is a light fighter, the whole aircraft has a total of five external hardpoints, can hang about four tons of equipment, now, on the pylon on the wing root side of the wing, each mounted a Paveway laser-guided bomb imported from the United States, the belly of the hardpoint is hung with a large auxiliary fuel tank, the wingtip is mounted with two Sidewinder missiles. (Earlier clerical error, each F-20 carries two laser-guided bombs, and three fighters bomb one target, for a total of six bombs).

The GBU-10B laser-guided bomb is the earliest model of laser-guided bomb that the United States began to equip in 1967, and it can also be regarded as a classic bomb, so before use, it has been carefully checked by technicians to prevent the bomb from malfunctioning.

This kind of bomb is modified from the ordinary MK80 series bomb, which is a 908-kilogram aerial bomb commonly used in the US military arsenal, and is made of a laser seeker, with a length of more than four meters and a hit accuracy of three meters.

Accompanying them was the nanny in the back: the MiG-23 modified electronic jammer, after entering the opponent's airspace, began to have strong all-round electromagnetic interference in the airspace.

Iran's long-range early warning radar, deployed in Shahr, suddenly became blind.

At this time, the Iranian air defense forces suddenly fell into a panic, before that, there was almost never a precedent for the Iraqi Air Force to attack at night, and there were probably very few pilots who were able to conduct night flights, what happened this time?

Isfahan, which was the closest, was the first to be attacked.

The fighter flew overhead and dropped the bomb, and they still did not know that the catastrophe was coming, until the precise bomb, hit the warehouse, hit the workshop, and there were fires everywhere, and they knew that they were the object of bombing.

The first few bombs plunged the entire factory into flames, and the last bomb was a catastrophe.

Because, this is a laser-guided bomb with a high-explosive change into napalm warhead, which exploded precisely in the very center of the plant.

The napalm incendiary bomb is burning violently, forming a high temperature of more than 1,000 degrees, and if there is really sarin gas here, then it will also decompose immediately at this high temperature, and will not spread to the surrounding area, causing greater damage.

However, the current situation of the factory is miserable, the fire burned until noon the next day, and the entire factory has been reduced to rubble.

The bombed fighters began to return home, while the other two batches of fighters were still on their way to Yazd and Kerman, but the difference was only ten minutes.

The main forces of the Iranian Air Force have already been deployed near Tehran, where there is almost no danger, and the second-line aircraft, even if they take off, have little combat effectiveness, and the ground-to-air missiles, under strong electromagnetic interference, have long been out of order.

At this time, the Red Bird 2 missile, which was the first to be launched, is facing the most dangerous situation.

The two F-4 fighters that came from behind, the pilots were very lucky, and they actually found the fire that crossed the sky like a meteor with visual vision, which was the tail flame emitted by the turbojet engine of the Redbird No. 2 missile, and the angle was very appropriate, and it just appeared in the line of sight of the F-4 fighter pilot.

In the black night sky, the pilot made a 180-degree bend with difficulty, turned around and searched again, and finally found the target below again.

However, they also had the same problem: the height of the other party was too low!

How exactly did the other party do it, so that they were not afraid of death? The pilot was very strange.

Pilots tried to lock onto the low-altitude flying objects with Sidewinder missiles, but they flew low and locked onto heat sources almost close to the ground, which was not the Sidewinder's strong point.

It seems that the cannon has to be used!

The two F-4s they flew were later models, and they were equipped with an M61A1 20mm Gatling gun, although in this night, the aiming of the ASG-26 optical sight was greatly challenged, and they could not see the whole picture of the other side at all, but, judging from the wake, the opponent's flight was very stable, and they did not know at all that their own fighters were coming to attack from the rear.

The F-4 swooped down from the mid-air and strafed in front of the flying firelight, which was also at great risk, in the dark, it was impossible to see the line of heaven and earth, and the only thing to believe was the altimeter in front of him.

"Knock knock, knock knock" The pilot pressed the button and sprayed bullets in the dark sky, and the bullets could be seen dragging a ribbon of light and flying towards the flames in front.

The pilot then pulls the plane up quickly, and if it is a second late, it may fall to the ground.

After completing this thrilling action, looking at it again, he was very depressed, those flames were still there!

Moreover, after being attacked, the other side still did not scatter and flee for their lives like ordinary Iraqi planes, and was still flying slowly and leisurely in formation, ignoring his attack!

The pilot was ruthless, pulled down the nose again, and proceeded to the next adventurous action.

This time, the other party really made a move!

The flames suddenly became brighter, and it could be seen that the other party was speeding up and preparing to escape, and then, those flames pulled up, and they were climbing!

"Knock knock, knock knock!" The pilots fired shells again, hoping to hit the target.

"Boom!" The Iranian pilots were very lucky tonight and actually blew up one of the opposing planes in the air?

He just wanted to report the results of the battle on the radio, but suddenly found that it was not the plane he blew up, but the other party himself plunged headlong and exploded on the ground!

Suddenly, the flames filled the sky, and then, several other "planes", one after another, crashed into the ground and exploded!

Especially the last one, after the explosion, produced a huge fire, and the light was so strong that his eyes were damaged, and he couldn't see anything clearly for the time being!

In the dark, a person's pupils will dilate, and they will suddenly receive a bright light, and there will be a brief blindness.

He was in a hurry, he couldn't see the instruments in the cockpit, and he was in the process of diving, which was very dangerous.

Then, he heard a loud noise, and his body was surrounded by a heat wave, and the F-4 fighter plane plunged into the heat of the napalm explosion just now.
