Chapter 141: Intercepting F-117
readx;
Do the Americans want to use this method to support the rebellion in Saudi Arabia? I'm afraid it's not as simple as this, just interfering with radio communications? Or jamming radar?
Suddenly, Kusai remembered a terrible possibility, the instinct before the arrival of danger countless times, which gave him a sense of jing. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info{{}}..
You belong to our entire Arab world, you are the pride of all our Arabs, Sarah's words are still ringing in her ears, but Qusay has a feeling of being on his back.
"The ground-to-air missile units near Baghdad immediately turned on their radars, and our newly developed radar system was put into use at full speed." Qusay gave instructions to Adnan: "The personnel of the Ministry of Defense immediately evacuate and enter the underground command hall. ”
With that, Qusay said to Sarah, "You have to evacuate with me, we have to spend this special moment in the underground hall." ”
Having just become Qusay's wife, Sarah has to follow Cusai through such an unforgettable moment? Do you need to hide in the east? In an instant, Kusay thought a lot, are Americans so bold?
Qusay, now it can be said that it is a key point that unites the entire Middle East region, a soul-like figure, must also be a thorn in the side of the Americans, and now that the belligerent Bush has come to power, it is natural that he will hate Kusay even more, and in this case, what countermeasures will the Americans take? Wipe out Qusay?
Originally, Qusay would not have thought that the Americans had such courage, but now that the Americans have carried out actions to subvert the Saudi regime in advance, they must have more reasons, and this reason must be sufficient enough. {{}}
For example, the use of stealth planes, bombing of Qusay's residence? The Americans must be very sure that they must be in a cave today, the whole Middle East is jubilant, and many officers will not be at their posts?
If it were a later generation, the stealth planes of the United States would indeed be like entering a no-man's land, and they would go wherever they wanted, but for Iraq now, this is no longer the case, because what they have been doing all the time is how to discover and kill stealth planes!
Everything was a guess between the electric sparks of Qusay, and he immediately made the decision to go to the underground fortifications under the Ministry of Defense, where the structure was strong enough to resist the most powerful ground-penetrating bombs in the United States. {{}}
By the time Qusay arrived at the underground fortifications, it was already 1:55 a.m.
In the underground hall, the atmosphere was already very tense at this time.
With Qusay's vigorous investment in the C3i system, and with the rapid progress of Iraq with the help of Western electronic technology, the degree of electronic and information-based Iraq's military has been very high, and Iraq has not only popularized the civilian Internet, but also built a military network using optical fiber interconnection.
Now, the data of Iraq's defense and control radar has been synchronously displayed on the screen in the underground command hall.
Defense Minister Adnan looked serious, because, the data has already shown, at an altitude of eight thousand meters, there are several suspicious targets.
Sarah was placed in a break room, and Qusay was also serious, and with the entry of the few unknown targets, the personnel of the important departments in the Baghdad area, the Palace of the Republic, the Ministry of Defense, and the television station were being urgently evacuated to a nearby bomb shelter, which they had not yet evacuated except in the early days of the Iran-Iraq war. {{
Air Force Commander Major General Abid even had some anger in his eyes, and when he saw Qusay coming in, he immediately reported: "President Qusay, the five large long-range pre-jing radars and twelve medium-range radars that we are now deploying in the country have all been disturbed, and anti-jamming measures are now being taken, however, our meter-wave radar is still working normally, and we have found three suspicious targets flying from the direction of the Persian Gulf, which are flying in the direction of Baghdad, and are expected to arrive within three minutes." ”
None of the other radars have been found, but this system consisting of a meter-wave radar network, which has just completed commissioning and has been put into use, has found suspicious targets.
"How? Are we sure to knock it down? Qusay asked.
"The air defense forces are making final preparations, and we have deployed two SAM-11 anti-aircraft missile batteries and one SAM-10 anti-aircraft missile battery near Baghdad, but we have not yet tested SAM-10 anti-aircraft missiles, so we are not sure of the effectiveness of the attack." Maj. Gen. Abid said.
The Soviet Union generally separated the air force and air defense, but Iraq was still in a unified form. There is no need to separate a separate branch of the military, and the ties between them are also very close.
"Our anti-aircraft missile units must exert their might this time and kill the invading enemy planes!" Qusay clenched his fists, "The Air Force is also ready to take off and intercept at any time." Did our pre-jing take off? ”
"Ericsson's Divine Eye has taken off, and the height is eight thousand." Maj. Gen. Abid said.
"Let them increase their altitude and fly to 14,000." Qusay said.
This time, it is no different from a stealth aircraft, a stealth plane can scatter the radar beam from below, but the stealth effect above is not high, so, with the advanced pre-jing machine, you can look down from a high altitude and find this stealth aircraft.
In later generations, how to fight stealth aircraft, but it is a common topic, in the face of the threat of stealth aircraft, countries have begun to concentrate on research, which is also the reason why the F-117 was perfectly retired after 20 years on the battlefield. {{}}
Ignorance produces fear, and at a time when all countries are shocked by this stealth plane, Qusay has no fear, and the great men of the East have said that all imperialism is a paper tiger!
On the outskirts of Baghdad, four large meter-wave radars are located in exactly four directions, separated by 150 kilometers from each other, and in this way, the planes in the area where the four radars want to intersect can be accurately determined.
You can only see the approximate trajectory of movement, which is flying towards the sky over Baghdad!
On the ground, the SAM-11 missile, a modification of the SAM-6 missile, has a guidance radar added to the front of the hull, which can avoid the SAM-6 encounter in the Bekaa Valley. The quadruple missile launcher was already turning in the direction in which the target in front of it was flying.
And the other, the SAM-10 missile, this third-generation surface-to-air missile system of the Soviet Territorial Defense Forces. From 1967 to 1981, it was equipped with the Territorial Air Defense Force, which is a large anti-aircraft missile in all airspace, with the capability of anti-cruise missiles and anti-ballistic missiles.
At present, the four-pack barrel-shaped hair shè device of this missile has been firmly established on the hair shè position, and the missiles inside are ready to break out of the barrel at any time.
Thanks to its relationship with the Senate, Iraq finally acquired this important anti-aircraft missile, which in later generations became the famous S-300 system.
Iraq introduced a basic version, with a range of 79 kilometers, and the acquisition of this missile gave Iraq a long-range area air defense capability, which was deployed on the outskirts of Baghdad, the most important area.
Although Iraq advocates offensive air defense, there will still be fish that slip through the net, so anti-aircraft missiles are also very important.
The F-117 fighters in the sky are still flying, and they are confident in their aircraft.
If the self-confidence of the pilot of the original SR-71 aircraft was based on the fact that even if it was detected by the other side's radar, but the other side did not have enough missiles to intercept it, then the self-confidence of the pilot of the F-117 was based on the fact that the other side would not be detected at all.
As if they were wearing invisibility cloaks, they flew from an altitude of 8,000 meters in a big way, but they did not have to worry about being detected by the radar on the ground.
They also know that in order to cooperate with their actions, the high-power jamming equipment in the US military base in Bahrain is being turned on, which has increased their chances of winning this operation, and many radars in Iraq are imported from the United States, so the Americans know all the parameters of the radar, which is convenient for targeted interference.
"Attention, the airspace is about to arrive, and according to the original plan, the attack operation will be launched." It was the only time Oakes broke the radio silence, and it was the last voice he left for the American side.
Jing's Infrared Capture and Indication System (IRADS) began to work, because the target data had been entered in advance, so when approaching the target, the IRADS had begun to automatically aim at the target area, and on the special large display in front of the Oaks, various graphics that only they could understand began to appear, and the Oaks moved the knob to select the target and aiming point.
The graphics were zoomed in, and soon, Oakes saw the familiar building, a small building inside the Palace of the Republic!
I guess the Iraqis were still asleep when they dropped the bombs, right? Oakes thought.
Once Oakes has identified the target, the rest is left to the on-board computer, and the entire system begins to automatically track the target, and the laser device illuminates and ranges the target.
Once it has flown to the right distance, the system will hand over the target from the forward-looking IR unit to the downward-looking IR unit. They fly horizontally at mid-altitude, in a straight line to deliver weapons without any maneuvering, which makes the two laser-guided bombs in the belly of the aircraft more efficient.
The F-117 is different from other American attack aircraft in that it is not equipped with radar! Stealth aircraft, if you use radar, it is like a transparent person wearing an ordinary dress, and you can still be found.
The pilots of the F-117 concentrated their efforts, they flew for more than ten hours, and now, the most important moment has finally arrived. (To be continued.)
