Chapter 181: The Air War is in progress

While the air battle on this side was raging, fierce battles were also going on in the other airspace.

Two F-4 squadrons, now with bombs on both wings, were going to bombard the lines of Iraq's armored divisions in Abadan to open the way for a follow-up offensive.

The F-4 fighter is also a heavy two-sided fighter, with a two-person piloting system, and the fuselage has nine external hardpoints, except for the wingtips mounted with two Cobra air-to-air missiles and the fuel tank under the belly, the rest of the pylons are used to mount 6 MK82 bombs.

Although the F-4E fighter was equipped with an AN/AVQ-9 "cube box" laser designator that could be used to guide GBU-10 laser-guided bombs before the Islamic Revolution in 79, the subsequent Islamic Revolution did not allow the Iranian Air Force to obtain the laser-guided bombs ordered, so they are now equipped with ordinary aerial bombs.

Long machine Sebi Demui. Under the wing of Lieutenant Colonel Adjara, a set of ALQ-71 electronic countermeasures equipment pods is also mounted, which can interfere with the field radar equipped by Iraqi armored divisions on the ground.

The F-5 formation behind the two F-4 formations was also full of bombs, and because the F-5 was a light fighter, it only carried two bombs and two Sidewinder missiles.

Although they unfortunately ran into the Iraqi fighters, the Tomcat fighters have already met them, and all they need to do is to bomb!

The main places they bombed were the fortifications on the periphery of Aladan, the garrison barracks, which contained a large number of tanks, and then the power plant and oil refinery in Aladan.

With Hashmian under his command, he will never let his own young soldiers be cannon fodder.

It's just that when the bombing formation had not yet reached the sky over the predetermined location, the two Mirage F1s in the rear finally turned their noses and caught up.

They immediately scanned the airspace with their own fire control radar and spotted the group of enemy planes that had slipped away.

Turn on the missile, warm it up, lock on to the target, launch, everything is a breeze.

A semi-active radar-guided Matra-530 missile has just been knocked out, and now, it is the second semi-active radar-guided missile.

Although both the F-4 and F-5 have a strong ability to maneuver, it was in the case of air superiority and loading, and now, it is full of heavy bombs, and if it makes a big overload maneuver, it will definitely be a tragedy of the disintegration of the aircraft in the air.

Therefore, when they are locked, the only thing they can do is to reduce the altitude, and at the same time, the electronic jamming pod of the long plane starts to activate, trying to jam the opponent's radar signal and let the opponent's missile launch unlock.

However, they do not know that there is a special place for this kind of semi-active radar-guided missile with a legal system, if it is subjected to a strong interference source and cannot receive the target echo provided by the carrier aircraft, then the seeker of this missile will change the target and track this strong interference source instead! It will not return to its original state until the interference is gone.

In this sense, the French are also very good at thinking, you dare to interfere with me? Then I'll beat you! That's the mentality.

And all this is chosen by the missile itself, and it has nothing to do with the carrier aircraft, let alone the object of attack.

The F-5 formation, which was lagging behind, did not know that it had escaped, but when it saw the missile flying by the plane, it thought that the opponent's missile had missed the target.

Who knows, two missiles, but accurately hit the long plane of two F-4 fighter formations! It's as if the other party has eyes.

So far, the tide of the war has begun to turn in favor of the Iraqi Air Force, with two Mirage F1s, followed by the remaining infrared-guided Matra 530 missiles, each again achieving a shot down record.

Since they were behind Iranian fighters, the infrared seeker was able to accurately track the hot air currents emitted by the turbojet engines, which could take out the opposing planes from a long distance.

However, their good fortune ended there, because, the last Tomcat, Ziaz, finally freed his hands and began to turn back to find their trouble.

Hamad knows that if he makes a mistake, it will be a fatal blow.

He also knew that he had to think of getting rid of the other party, otherwise, the feeling of being followed by others all the time was very unpleasant.

Hamad gritted his teeth and decided to make a bold attempt.

In low altitude, there is no altitude advantage, if there is no speed, it is very scary, however, if you want to get rid of the other party, there can be a way, that is, to slow down yourself, let the other party fly over you, so that you can have the hope of turning defeat into victory.

Hamad decided to make a try.

He jerked the throttle stick to the smallest position, and at the same time, lowered the leading edge maneuvering flaps.

As if a galloping horse had been pulled in, the plane dropped in speed and lowered in altitude.

When Ziaz saw the Phantom in front of him slow down, it was too late to do the same deceleration, so he had to pull the lever sharply, and the fighter began to suddenly turn into a vertical upward climb.

Even if you go back to the sky, you can't rush in front of the other party! Ziaz made up his mind, and at the same time, turned on the afterburner switch of the engine.

With a thrust-to-weight ratio greater than 1, the tomcat can climb vertically effortlessly.

The radar officer in the rear cabin turned his head back, only to see that the Phantom F1 did not give up the opportunity, and actually chased after it.

Of course, Hamad did not want to give up, and he knew that only by killing this tomcat could his two brothers have more time to destroy the bombing formation.

He turned on the afterburner, gritted his teeth, and made a vertical climb, and this time, he had the advantage: he followed the tomcat.

However, Hamad knew that he only had a few seconds, because his fighter plane was not powerful enough for him to climb vertically.

The tomcat climbs upwards faster and faster, while he climbs upwards more and more slowly.

Hamad, in the midst of the heavy overload, struggled to turn on the weapon launch switch and prepared to launch a magic short-range air-to-air missile at the wingtip.

Who knows, at this moment, there was a huge vibration from the fighter jet, and then, the instrument in front of him began to move involuntarily, and a warning light was conspicuously on.

The Phantom F1, which was intake on both sides, did not have enough air intake when he was doing a vertical climb upwards, causing the engine to have a terrible surge until the engine stopped.

Unwillingly, in another second, he can launch a missile and kill this Tomcat.

Hamad was no longer ready to save the Phantom F1, he had a height of less than eight hundred meters, which was simply not enough for him to restart the engine in the air, he pulled down the handle under the seat, and in the smoke from the ejection seat, he was ejected from the cockpit.
