Chapter 547: Air Raid on Tikrit
PS: Make up for last month's 1340 monthly passes! I owe you nineteen chapters.
At the end of the fourth watch, I asked for a reward for a monthly pass.
――――――
In front of me, it was a city shrouded in night, and it was dark everywhere, and the city with light control was only a faint outline in the moonlight.
From the air, you can't see the target below, but you can only use the observation and sighting system on the fighter plane to see the target that is getting closer and closer.
In terms of altitude and speed index, it means that the speed is about to reach three times the speed of sound, and Zhao Yunlong has already felt that his head is beginning to lack oxygen.
It was less than two kilometers above the ground, and his consciousness was almost in a semi-blurred state.
There were exclamations from other fighter pilots in their ears, but in fact, they were all startled by Zhao Yunlong's tactical flight maneuvers.
Because none of them can make such a high-overload maneuver, but one thing is certain, if this continues, Zhao Yunlong will crash.
Just when the altitude had dropped below two thousand meters, Zhao Yunlong decisively pressed the launch button, and then completely reduced the speed of the fighter, and the nose of the aircraft began to rise up.
At the tandem hardpoint under the belly of the plane, the bomb penetrated and was thrown off the fighter plane at a rapid speed, as if it were throwing a chain ball at high speed.
When detached from the fighter, the speed even exceeded in an instant, the intruder fighter, which was nearly three times the speed of sound.
When Zhao Yunlong controlled the fighter to change to a level flight state, with a huge whistling sound, this penetrating bomb. Almost at a devastating rate. In an instant, it penetrated directly from the top of this building to the ground.
The fighter finally remained in level flight over Tikrit. And by the time they left, the bomb had already burrowed into the underground arsenal.
At this moment, hundreds of ISIS fighters in the entire building did not have time to think about what was going on.
When a hole of three or four meters was drilled out of the middle of the floor, everyone fell to the floor under the huge shock.
Then looking at the huge gap that has been pierced from the top in front of you, if anyone can see the building from the sky, they will definitely see a very shocking scene.
A twelve-story building. In the middle of the entire building, a huge hole with a width of four meters was drilled through every floor.
The building still retains its original appearance intact, but underneath the building, a large number of cement slabs on top of the building have fallen behind the bombs.
This scene only lasted less than three seconds, penetrating the delayed fuse on the bomb, at the moment when everyone was already confused. High explosives, up to several tons, exploded at the bottom of the building.
The loud sound of the explosion carried the waves. In an instant, it shattered the glass of all the houses in the vicinity of the building.
The entire Tikrit could feel the huge vibration caused by the explosion, and the twelve-story high-rise building collapsed in an instant under the dense explosion flames.
Immediately below the floor, an even louder explosion was heard, which was the result of the detonation of the ammunition depot below, and the whole city shook again.
Hundreds of thousands of people were awakened at the same time in their dreams, and the huge explosion caused a shaking almost equivalent to a magnitude three or four earthquake, causing everyone to run out one after another.
Even the fighters of the Islamic State did not know what was going on.
Until the whistling of fighter jets was heard, a large number of military facilities in Tikrit all found a devastating blow.
This is what woke up all the ISIS fighters, and this was definitely not an ordinary air strike, because the attack was too hard.
What shocked them the most was that the entire course of the air raid, all the important military facilities in Tikrit, were completely devastated.
A number of arsenals and barracks were attacked by specific bombs, and the arsenals and a large number of soldiers, the moment they woke up, were swallowed up by the explosion, and even those grassroots institutions of opportunity were all devastated.
This is the powerful destructive power of the modern air force, which is not at all comparable to the kind of covering attacks that were in World War II.
Under the conditions of modern air combat, the air strike effect of one precision strike and advanced fighter exceeds that of at least a hundred fighters during World War II.
Even a hundred fighters will not be able to achieve the effect of modern air combat.
During World War II, Churchill was standing on the streets of London, and I was here with the high-speed Germans, let them bomb me and see if they could up.
As a result, the Germans calculated that in order to accurately kill Churchill, at least more than 1,000 bombers would need to be dispatched to ensure that Churchill could be killed standing on the street.
In the modern war environment, let alone standing on the street, even if you hide in a house, you can't even run away with a bomb.
In an asymmetric war, one side has absolute air superiority, and on the other side, there are no anti-aircraft weapons.
As a result, a one-sided war, as long as the facilities and intelligence on the ground are accurately obtained, will not be able to escape the blows of the modern air force.
In this air raid, all the intelligence was provided by al-Baghdadi, and there was nothing missing, and the key targets were just two squadrons of fighters, which had already caused the more than 20,000 ISIS troops in Tikrit to lose at least 60% of their combat effectiveness.
A large number of weapons and ammunition were also lost, the command was taken out, and the war could be said to be almost half won.
The two returning squadrons had just left, and the U.S. Air Force fighter jets followed, originally to cooperate with the Red Guard Air Force in carrying out air strikes against Islamic State forces in Tikrine.
However, when the four U.S. Fighting Falcon arrived in the skies over Tikrit, the entire city was almost devoid of targets for them.
To the astonishment of every US fighter pilot, all the targets that the US military had received information on in Tikrit, after a round of air raids, were attacked.
They could hardly find anything missing, which inevitably made all the American pilots think that the combat level of the air force under the command of the Future Science and Technology Group has actually reached the world's top level. No wonder even a country like Israel has been beaten so badly.
No one will be better off in the face of such an adversary, and even the United States itself may not be able to obtain any benefits in the hands of such an adversary under the same combat system.
Now, both sides are allies, and these US pilots don't bother to think about it later, they just find some secondary targets and pour some salt into the wounds of the Islamic State. (To be continued.) )
