Chapter 1116: Emergency
readx;
Although with the gradual development of electronic technology, computers have gradually replaced human functions, for example, this early warning aircraft, the computer can judge what the biggest threat target is, greatly reducing the burden on personnel. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, Sartre knew that no matter where they are, people are always the most important, and experienced commanders are not something that computers can replace.
The discovery of two warplanes that took off means that Israel wants to attack? Sartre immediately paid attention.
However, then, the radar of the AWACS aircraft showed that the two fighters, after taking off, did not fly to the east, but to the west, and soon entered the sky over the Mediterranean.
What do the Israelis want? Definitely not your average flight training! Sartre thought silently in his heart.
In order to avoid being hit by the other side and losing valuable early warning aircraft, Ericsson Divine Eye early warning aircraft has always been flying over Jordan, which is a full 200 kilometers away from Israel's territory, so that if Israel's planes sneak attack, they can get the alarm as soon as possible, and their own escort fighters will also be fully prepared.
This is the inherently flawed nature of Israel, which is a narrow land, and it is inevitable.
However, their detection range, which could not be infinitely far, left the skies over Israel and flew to the Mediterranean, and soon disappeared from the edge of their screens.
The night sky was calm again. Only Sartre knew that this unusual situation, which represented some kind of danger, sent a message to the rear command that the front-line fighter units were brought to combat readiness at the first level, ready to take off at any time.
In the night sky, Jon, the Israeli pilot, looked at the darkness outside, and then at the instruments in the background light in the cockpit, this time, they were about to complete a difficult but necessary task.
They need to get under the belly of the airliner!
If they had gotten under the belly of the airliner directly in the nearest place, then it would have been within the range of the Iraqi AWACS plane's surveillance, so that the personnel of the Iraqi AWACS aircraft would have been suspicious when they saw that the two points of light coincided. So, they had to fly a little further west to get out of the other side's detection range.
So, they flew to the west in the Mediterranean Sea and waited for its arrival on the airliner's route.
They remained silent on the radio, still receiving messages from one of the radar stations in Ashdod, adjusting their direction from time to time.
Finally, they were able to see a bright spot in their field of vision, which slowly grew larger and flickered, and it was the navigation lights of a normal night airliner.
EgyptAir is flying over the Mediterranean, a 10-ton passenger plane, and it's just a short trip, and most of the passengers are Egyptians.
Now, with the gradual improvement of technology, the Y-10 passenger aircraft jointly produced by Iraq and China has begun to have a wide range of sales in the Arab world, and EgyptAir has also purchased 10 Y-10 passenger planes and put them into commercial operation.
After passing by the airliner, the two F-15 fighters made a beautiful turn in the air, and then they slowly stuck to it.
Even during the day, flying in dense formations is a very dangerous action, and if you are not careful, it will cause the tragedy of collision, not to mention at night, if you want to see it as a bright spot on the radar, the distance must be very close.
Jon operated his fighter and slowly leaned in.
Jon is a brilliant pilot in the Israeli Air Force, just nine years ago, when Jon was a f-15 front cabin flight cadet, he collided with an A-4 attack plane, as a result of which the attack plane exploded into a fireball, the pilot ejected safely, and Jon's plane was knocked off the right wing.
Although the instructor in the back seat ordered the parachute jump, Jon, as a student pilot, resolutely drove the plane back, and even Boeing could not believe that their plane could return safely after losing a wing.
Since then, Jon has loved the F-15 and he has always felt that as soon as he gets on the plane, he will be one with the plane.
Jon dares to challenge all kinds of difficult moves, such as now.
Helicopter pilots can wear night vision devices, but they can't add anything to the helmet of fighter pilots, otherwise, the high overload action will break the cervical vertebrae at any time, and even the helmet sights of the Soviets are also strictly limited in weight.
However, as a state-of-the-art fighter, the F-15 is equally capable of night combat, because it carries an infrared pod that can simultaneously display the detected image on the multi-function display in front.
It was with the help of this, and the other party's goal was already very obvious, Jon carefully operated the joystick, getting closer and closer to the airliner, getting closer and closer, finally,
Tightly clinging to each other's stomachs.
However, this was not done yet, and behind Jon, another F-15 pilot, Edley, was also operating his own fighter, slowly approaching.
This is also their most difficult task, sticking under the belly of the airliner, not one fighter, but two!
Iraq's AWACS aircraft are escorted by a squadron of fighters around them, so if they send only one fighter, it will definitely not work, and it is impossible for two airliners to fly at the same time, so there is only one result: they can only choose the most dangerous two fighters to stuff under the belly of one passenger plane at the same time.
It would have been better if there had four, but they themselves knew that four was absolutely impossible.
There are more than 100 passengers in the passenger plane above, and they are simply gambling with more than 100 innocent people on it in doing so, but they can't care about so much at all, during the war, all actions are acceptable, what they need is success!
Jon's plane was in front, Edley's plane was behind, and the two planes got under the airliner at the same time, with a height difference of three meters up and down, and five meters between the front and back.
The only thing that is good enough is that the flight of the passenger plane above is quite smooth, unlike light aircraft, the sudden appearance of air currents will make it shake back and forth, and the Yun 10 flies very smoothly.
In the Ericsson Divine Eye AWACS aircraft, Sartre looked at the radar screen, the two points of light never appeared, and now, they flew north, ready to reach the border with Syria, and then turned back again.
Tonight, it seems that they have nothing more to do, except for the support of two squadrons of Su-25 attack aircraft, they have been flying on AWACS for more than seven hours and working for almost four hours.
There are two combat teams on board, which change shifts every two hours in order to ensure maximum energy. Moreover, after another ten minutes of cruising, they should return to the ground and be replaced by another AWACS aircraft.
After returning to the ground, take a hot shower and sleep beautifully, this is probably the idea of many people, and this is the time when they are most relaxed.
It seems that this time, Israel will not make much of a move.
Only Sartre, glancing at the radar screen, and on that edge, there was a noticeable bright spot.
"What's that?" Sartre asked.
"It's an international shipping lane, it's an Egyptian plane to Syria, and we've identified it five minutes ago.
Now, it's 9:50.
Looking at that bright spot, getting closer and closer to oneself, the routes of the two sides formed an acute angle.
Suddenly, Sartre remembered something alertly, and immediately dialed the in-flight call switch on the headset, and said eagerly: "Captain, please turn around immediately and fly south!" ”
As an experienced early warning officer, Sartre has been wondering just now, what are those two planes going to do, even if it is flight training, it is time to return to the plane, make a detour to attack Saudi Arabia? It was too far to go to the Sinai Peninsula, and the value was not big enough, and when he saw the passenger plane again, Sartre suddenly remembered that the routes of the two fighters flying westward should overlap with this passenger plane, and later, he thought of that possibility.
Now, they were more than 130 kilometers away from the airliner, which was a dangerous distance.
After receiving Sartre's message, the captain immediately operated the operating stick in his hand and twisted to the right.
A mushroom tray is mounted on the top of the head, which leads to the destruction of the aerodynamic layout, and it is originally a transport aircraft, so the maneuverability of this aircraft is very low.
As long as they flew another thirty kilometers, they would be able to leave the airliner and go to attack, Jon felt some sweat on his back, this kind of flight was indeed a challenge to test the will and courage of the pilot.
Luckily, they all did, and a few more minutes was enough.
At this moment, the ground guide was heard breaking the radio silence and said: "The AWACS aircraft turned in advance, and immediately broke away from the passenger plane according to the original plan and launched a rapid attack!" ”
Hearing this voice, Aideli immediately pressed down on the operating stick, left the airliner, and at the same time, began to make various preparations before the attack, activated the two Sparrow air-to-air missiles under the wing, and at the same time turned on the radar, ready to guide his own missiles.
One point of light suddenly became two, and Sartre knew that his judgment was correct.
The radar guide immediately notified the escort formation and prepared to intercept the incoming fighter.
At the same time, on the radar screen of the AWACS aircraft, several signals appeared, and it was the Israeli Air Force, which took off in large numbers.
The Israeli Air Force must adapt to the situation, shooting down an early warning plane of the other side does not mean that the task will be completed, because another early warning plane will take off and take over, so they must act quickly, and at the same time shooting down the other side, their own air force fighters will reach the opponent's air base and blow up those fighters on the runway.
