Chapter 684: Tabas Air Battle (3)
Tehran.
"Your Excellency, the Air Force has been dispatched!" When the Tabas fighters had just been dispatched and the radar was turned on, the restrictions on radio communication silence were lifted, and the Tehran headquarters soon received information from the front line - in order to prevent it from being deciphered by the US and Israeli military, the Persians installed a monitoring radar terminal in the underground fortress of the headquarters, which could receive real-time information from Tehran and the Tabas front-line air.
This large-scale display wall, which is countless times larger than the display of the Thunder Dragon fighter combat system, completely displays the positions of fighters on both sides of the front line on the same screen in real time, "The red sè light point represents the enemy aircraft, and the green sè dot represents our military fighters." General Hajid explained that the war had just started at the moment, and the screen was full of light spots, and the green ones occupied almost most of the plane, which made people look very sure.
However, the Persian leaders knew that numerical superiority was often not a direct sign of victory, especially against an enemy with a particularly strong technological superiority such as the American-Israeli coalition.
A minute or so later, when the fighters of the two armies approached 70 kilometers, the Persians were pleasantly surprised to see that their fighters took the lead in attacking and hit a US-Israeli coalition fighter, and there was a burst of cheers from the command headquarters.
If they had known that this round of attacks could have achieved greater results, only to miss due to the hesitation of the front-line personnel, they might have even had the heart to shoot a front-line flight commander like Sanjar.
When the missiles fired by the US-Israeli coalition attacked the green sè point of light representing the Persian fighter plane with an extremely fast flashing point of light, the atmosphere at the Persian headquarters almost froze, "God bless!" The devout believers in the Persian headquarters could not help but pray and ask for the blessing of Allah.
But then after the missile attack launched by the US and Israeli fighters, more than a dozen green dots of light quickly disappeared from the screen, and everyone knew what this meant, and General Hajid's forehead had unconsciously oozing beads of sweat the size of beans, and more than a dozen planes were lost in one round of attacks, such a huge loss rate, or 3 Thunder Dragon squadrons would be finished after a few rounds.
President Hashemi apparently had this simple question in mind, and Yīn looked at Hajd with a calm face, but said nothing.
But the rest of the people at the headquarters were obviously not as determined as the two of them, and even though His Excellency the President was around, they couldn't help but start talking to each other, worried about the current situation to the extreme.
However, for the F-15 fighter pilots of the US Iron Fist Squadron in the sky of Tabas, the situation did not improve much because of the success of the first round of attacks, on the contrary, every pilot of the Iron Fist Squadron began to struggle for life and death as if facing a great enemy.
After the two sides approached more than ten kilometers in an instant, the Persian pilots who had no other choice could only fight according to the operational prompts, and the remaining nearly 50 or so Thunder Dragon fighters began to fire one D-10 missile after another, such a big counterattack that was almost panicked, almost every fighter in the Iron Fist squadron faced more than 3 D-10 air-to-air missile attacks.
For a time, every fighter in the Iron Fist squadron emitted a piercing jǐng report, and during this time, what Lieutenant Colonel Raymond heard the most was that the team members reported that they were attacked by Persian missiles, and even Lieutenant Colonel Raymond himself saw from the jǐng newspaper that they were locked by 2 D-10 missiles.
"God, how did the Persians do it?" Lieutenant Colonel Raymond is no stranger to this medium-range missile issued by the Persians, which is not inferior to the AIM-120 series of advanced air-to-air missiles, in the recent Diaoyutai air battle, both the US army and the Rì army have suffered a lot.
It's just that Lieutenant Colonel Raymond didn't expect that this kind of missile could exert such a huge power in the hands of the Persians, you must know that in the chaotic air battle over Tabas, the Persians unbelievably aimed at all the fighters of the Iron Fist squadron, which is simply a miracle, even if Lieutenant Colonel Raymond's Iron Fist Squadron has enough fighters in hand, it is now impossible to target every fighter of the opponent at the same time in a short period of time to attack.
However, at this distance, it is not easy for fighters locked by more than two missiles at the same time to escape the attack, and the 17 F-15 fighters are blocked from maneuvering and evasion angles, and often before the pilots have just had time to catch their breath from the lock of one D-10 missile, they are waiting for another D-10 missile.
"Retreat!" Lieutenant Raymond, who tried his best to pick up a life, immediately issued an order to retreat in the face of this almost instantaneous result, but this order came a little late, and at the best attack distance of the D-10 missiles carried by this Thunder Dragon fighter, the Persians saw the amazing results, and did not hesitate to missiles, and launched a continuous attack according to the prompts of the combat system.
The Persians, whose morale has been greatly increased, completely lost their fear, one by one the fighters were born to the highest speed, desperately chasing the American and Israeli fighters that were trying to escape, even the F-35 fighters that are difficult to lock in the radar system are now three of them were shot down by the Persians in this round of stormy attacks, only Major Lennon and the other two F-35 pilots who were still relatively sober in their heads, relying on reverse thinking, flew towards the north of the Persians to avoid the radar lock, and landed at the US military base in Afghanistan in the north of the Persians, only to escape.
Looking at the red points of light that disappeared almost in an instant, this astonishing change stunned the people at the Tehran headquarters, even people with strong nerves like Hashemi and Hajid couldn't believe this result, and after more than ten seconds of death-like silence, the Tehran headquarters erupted in heartless cheers!
The victory came so suddenly and so brilliantly that many people were moved to tears.
Although Hashemi was so excited that he could barely speak, he already had a feeling of being overwhelmed by the repeated failures during this time, and at this moment facing a great victory, Hashemi was relieved and sat weakly in his chair. However, Hashemi soon came to his senses.
"General Hajid, order the garrison of the Tabas base to seize the time to capture the surviving pilots of the American and Israeli fighters, and take pictures of the results of the frontline battle, and announce them to the world in the fastest possible time!" The news, Hashemi commanded, was so important to the Persians that nothing could have boosted the morale of the people and won the attention of the international community more than the wreckage of American and Israeli Air Force warplanes and the capture of pilots.
"Yes, President!" General Hajid, who was so excited that he was dark and red, also recovered quickly, now is not the time to celebrate, not only in terms of propaganda, but also in the next step of combat deployment, in the face of the fierce attack that the US army will inevitably carry out next, General Hajid still needs to do a lot of things, "Your Excellency, I will fly to the front line immediately and deploy in person." ”
Choosing to fly to Tabas at this time, General Hajid also took a huge risk, but now the front line really needs someone to control and keep this hard-won achievement, after this battle, the secret base of Tabas has been exposed, although the specific address of the US military is still unclear, but the place where the air battle will definitely be under the focus of the US military reconnaissance force, and it is too difficult to keep the secret.
Therefore, there must be a proper solution to the existing fighter group of the Persians, but how to deploy and transfer these problems requires heavyweights to quickly decide, and in this case, Hajid, the commander of the air force, will greatly improve the efficiency of decision-making.
Although the Tabas air battle achieved a great victory, in the minds of the Persian high-level leaders, they would never think that the Persian Air Force had the ability to compete with the US Air Force. At this time, any delay in the fighter may end the battle situation that has finally started.
President Hashemi, of course, knew what was at stake, and after thinking for a while, he turned around and summoned the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, Baghei, and said categorically, "Immediately draft an order in the name of the chairman of the National Security Council, and immediately establish the Eastern Theater Command from today onwards to unify the command of the naval, land, and air forces in Khorasan Province, Kerman Province, Sistan-Baluchistan Province, South Khorasan Province, and other regions, and the first commander of the theater is General Hajid." ”
"Yes, Your Excellency." Bagheri responded. Although the president's move is a bit big, these four provinces account for almost one-third of the country, and the commander of the theater with heavy troops in his hands has a high position, but at present, as the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, Bagheri, of course, knows the grim situation behind the president's task.
As a US military with tens of thousands of troops and air forces stationed in Afghanistan, there is no doubt that it will withstand a double blow from the US military bases in the six Gulf countries and Afghanistan bases, and the establishment of the Eastern Theater Command is to concentrate military forces to deal with possible air strikes by US military bases in Afghanistan.
At present, the US military has two major bases in Afghanistan, one is the Bagram Air Base near Kabul, which has become the largest military base in Central Asia after years of continuous expansion, with more than 20,000 troops stationed, and more than 10,000 troops stationed at the Kandahar base, of which the Air Force has at least five squadrons and more than 100 fighters.
But now that the Persians have sprung up, the U.S. military naturally won't wait for them to continue to grow. Therefore, dispatching the Air Force stationed in Afghanistan is almost an inevitable choice.
President Hashemi's decision to concentrate military forces in the east to deal with this crisis could be a very wise decision.
(Sorry, there is only one change today, from next week, due to a lot of things at the end of the year, 1 change is guaranteed every day.) )
