Speaking of UAVs, it is impossible to talk about air combat in the Bekaa Valley......

Okay, let's get to the Bekaa Valley air battle again. However, the Bekaa Valley Air Battle, as the largest air battle since the 80s of the last century, or the jet age, is a famous case of epoch-making significance in the history of world air warfare. Electronic warfare technology, surprise attack tactics, and the generational gap between fighters have very important teaching significance for the future generations of warfare.

For example, before the start of the air strikes, Israel used drones to trick the radars of Syrian air defense positions into turning on, and the fate of the deceived Syrian air defense missile positions is naturally self-evident. F4 Phantom and other fighters huddled behind the drone swarm used anti-radiation missiles and other ground-to-ground weapons to directly destroy the guidance radar that exposed its location, and in just six minutes, the Syrians worked hard for 10 years and spent $2 billion to build 19 SAM-6 missile batteries, and more than 200 missiles were all destroyed.

Therefore, when the drone swarm flew over the coast and approached their air defense positions, the commander of YN did not give the order to turn on the radar host, but instead used traditional weapons such as anti-aircraft machine guns that would not expose the air defense positions to shoot at the drone swarm.

This has had a certain effect, but it is only a certain effect, because in the hundreds of drone groups, in addition to dozens of them are real drones with remote command, there are also some fake targets towed behind the drones with only one plastic shell. The real drones mixed in with these fake targets are carrying aerial bombs.

So the ground position was sad, and the hundreds of targets in the sky could not be accurately destroyed by any matter how you hit them. The drone, which itself has the function of reconnaissance and bomb dropping, transmits the detected information back to the AWACS aircraft through a chain of numbers, and the person who controls the drone is also looking for a target for a ground counterattack. Began to drop the missiles.

In the "boom" explosion, countless fireballs rose from the ground in the dark night, and the soldiers in the air defense position were directly lifted three or four meters high by the shock wave of the explosion, and then fell to the ground and rolled into a mess of mud. Others were directly blown to pieces, or they were distorted by the detonation of munitions. Mutilated limbs, screams and wails rose one after another between these small anti-aircraft positions, and the ZG side put in an attack that was clearly beyond the imagination of the YN commander.

In the face of the huge losses suffered by the first-line air defense units, at first the YN commander felt that he needed to wait for a while, and only when the real fighters came over could he turn on the radar host of the air defense missile position, but soon he could not bear such pressure, because the poor strategic depth did not allow him to let the aircraft in the air that were judged as drones continue to go deep into the interior.

How so? Let's put it this way, YN is a long and narrow country, calculated from the two sides of the middle section. That is, if you fly from east to west, the distance between the national borders is less than 100 kilometers, and the distance between the two closest points is only about 50 kilometers, which means that an aircraft with a speed of Mach 1 per hour wants to cross the YN, it only takes more than ten seconds, and then it flies directly.

In such a narrow strategic space, if it is facing ground forces, YN can also use complex terrain to create obstacles. But if you're facing a fighter that is known for its speed, you're sorry. Your little distance is not enough for my brother to rush quickly.

But you can't let the planes of other countries, especially fighter planes, fly over your head, so what do you need the army to do? The YN commander had no choice but to order to turn on the radar host of the missile air defense position, lock on the drone swarm in the air, and start the most direct counterattack.

In the dark. Countless anti-aircraft missiles rushed into the sky with a blazing tail flame, as if playing a game, and the drone swarm was like rain, constantly falling down in the explosion, whether it was a fake target or a real drone. In the face of anti-aircraft missiles, there was basically no resistance, and in just a few moments, the sky was almost cleared, and the YN commander, who saw this, immediately ordered all movable anti-aircraft missile units to be transferred immediately, but it was still too late.

As soon as the main radar of the air defense missile position was turned on, it was discovered by the air police 500 circling back and forth over Hainan Island, and the Jian-16 and Jian-7, which had been flying at a low speed and skimming the sea, were full of ground-attack weapons, and immediately began to climb rapidly under the guidance of the early warning aircraft. And with the roar of the air defense missile position being blown up, in the dazzling fireball that rose up, the J-10 and J-11, who were responsible for air control, immediately took over the battlefield and were ready to compete with YN's fighters at any time.

But the commander of YN still kept a hand, just now ordered to turn on the radar host of the anti-aircraft missile position is only two-thirds, seeing that the ZG fighter has actually flown over, the commander of YN did not hesitate, immediately issued an order, turn on the radar host of all anti-aircraft missile positions, must shoot down this wave of ZG aircraft.

This is the established strategic plan of the YN side, in the face of ZG's strength, the YN government also understands that there is no way to fight a long-term war with ZG on their own, only to give the invading ZG troops a blow to the head, so that the ZG government understands that YN is not muddy, maybe the ZG government is willing to stop and participate in the negotiations. It's a pity that whether intentionally or unintentionally, when the YN government was fooled by the United States into preparing to fight a so-called war with ZG to show its sovereign intentions, ZG had already decided to completely defeat this cancer.

Hit us head-on? Let's do it first!

In fact, the intention of the YN commander really scared the J-10 and J-11 in the air, and the anti-aircraft missile positions that were thought to have been destroyed suddenly appeared more than a dozen, and the guidance radar kept emitting X-band radar waves in an attempt to lock on to all the fighters in the air, and the warning radar of the fighter itself "beeped" and rang non-stop, which was indeed very scary.

The air commander in charge of the J-10 fleet immediately shouted: "Anti-aircraft missiles! ”

In fact, even without his shouting, everyone knew that they were being scanned by the X-band radar waves, because in everyone's cockpit, the warning radar was screaming, but at this time, all the J-10 and J-11 pilots in the air heard a strange, but confident voice: "Give it to us!" ”

Suddenly, the pilots of the J-10 and J-11 found more than a dozen black shadows flashing over their heads and sides, and the two blue-orange flames that were constantly disturbing slightly indicated that it was a double-engine, close-range heavy fighter.

"It's J-20!" One of the J-10 pilots said that he originally thought that the J-20 would not appear in this kind of battlefield, after all, this environment is not conducive to the J-20 to beat the opponent. But the pilot of this J-10 did not know that the reason why this batch of J-20 appeared here was originally to have the means of countermeasures in the event of an accident, and now the anti-aircraft missile position that suddenly appeared, although it was not in the initial attack plan, still did not escape the content of the emergency plan.

At the moment when the main engine of the anti-aircraft missile radar was turned on, all the J-20s received an order from Wu Jianming to immediately destroy the anti-aircraft missile positions. It is a stealth aircraft, but also scattered and hiding around, using the terrain and companions to avoid possible radar waves, the main radar of the anti-aircraft missile has greatly reduced the detection effect of the J-20, coupled with the extremely complex air situation, there are fewer that can be confirmed and tracked, and when the radar host completes the locking of the air target, the J-20 has entered the bomb dropping procedure and threw the aerial bomb down.

"Boom—"

There were several loud explosions, and the last few guidance radar stations were completely destroyed, but there were still two anti-aircraft missiles that successfully locked on to the two planes, and then successfully ignited and lifted into the air to attack.

"I'm locked in!" A pilot's shout came from the radio, Wu Jianming looked around left and right, at this time Wu Jianming liked the function of night vision in the distributed photoelectric aperture system very much. It was originally dark and he should not be able to see anything at night, but Wu Jianming could clearly distinguish the surrounding air situation, including the J-10 that was locked by missiles and was speeding away, and another J-11.

But Wu Jianming didn't expect that he didn't have time to worry about the two pilots at all, because at this time, the X20 warning radar actually sounded, which startled Wu Jianming.

Almost instinctively deflecting the joystick, the X20 flashed a few hundred meters away with an extremely flexible swing, but the warning radar did not stop, but there was a tendency to intensify. glanced at the display screen, and when the pupils just focused the focus of their eyes on the alarm radar, the helmet display automatically displayed the information that Wu Jianming wanted.

Behind 3 kilometers on the ground, the missile rose into the air. This is what Wu Jianming observed, and the helmet display even displayed the picture of the missile taking off into the air and the information received by the radar at the same time. But the more clearly he saw it, the more Wu Jianming's heart sank, it was much more dangerous to be bitten by a missile's tail than a missile rushing head-on, and it was a missile that rose 3 kilometers behind him, Wu Jianming wanted to pull the ejection ring directly, but at this time, the system that had been silent and had not spoken suddenly spoke, and the content of the speech surprised Wu Jianming.

"If a high-risk target is detected, please ask whether you will turn on active defense means." (To be continued......)
