Hey, that's what it looks like on paper; However, in the current dangerous situation, which of the planes in the "Syrian no-fly zone" really strayed in?

However, as the "air city management" in the Middle East, they still have to turn on the beacon and risk exposing themselves to issue a warning, and only after trying to drive them away are ineffective before taking decisive measures, this is of course easy to put themselves in a dangerous situation of being disadvantaged.

But no matter what, the task at hand must be carried out, even as a mercenary.

The current "Syrian no-fly zone" is the opposite of the literal meaning, and the number of fighters roaming around there with different intentions is even greater than over the theater of operations, which is nothing new.

The no-fly zone established by the United Nations is naturally based on legal rules, but for various reasons, the Security Council has not provided it with military support, and it is a fool's dream to rely solely on the belligerents to abide by the rules. Under these circumstances, ALSA's activities in the no-fly zone have naturally become more frequent, putting great pressure on the logistics system of the UAS Joint Air Force, and at the same time putting hired pilots from all over the world in an even more dangerous situation.

Carrying out a mission in the no-fly zone theoretically only requires monitoring and trying to drive away all illegally entering aircraft, and in the case of the "Syrian no-fly zone", it specifically refers to the FSA and NATA distributed on both sides of the battle line; The strength of these two Middle Eastern sky forces cannot be compared with the large and well-trained ALSA, but the strong emergence of the European Community's joint air force has suddenly changed the already chaotic rules of the game.

Imagine this. What would become of the town where the two police forces enforced the law - and now between the two police forces. It is clear that they are wary of each other and suspicious. The animosity between the ECJA, which favours the Syrian rebels, and the ALSA, which supports the new Iraqi party, has also become more pronounced, and Arab League pilots on patrol are also wary of EC fighter jets when they spot them.

For example, this is the case now.

Maintaining a tight two-plane formation cruising on the center line of the no-fly zone, turning on the pre-energizing of the missiles, and preparing for war at any time, there were many targets moving slowly on the multi-function display screen in front of Li Gejian, and these targets were divided into different colors and symbols according to "identified", "to be identified", and "no response"; Raising his hand and clicking on the button a few times, the young man spoke into the microphone. Let the wingman pay attention to the direction of six o'clock for the two people:

"Miyu, target in the direction of ten o'clock, four thousand in height, suspected FSA fighter; Now that they have crossed the border, I am ready to launch a BVR attack, keep an eye on the back, over. ”

"Received; But the target in front of you, maybe the EC patrol planes, I think they're coming this way? ”

"It's okay, we're enforcing the law normally; But in the event of a conflict, resolutely fight back! Complete. ”

As he spoke, Li Gejian ordered the fire control system to set target parameters and complete carrier tuning for the two AIM-7P over-the-horizon missiles. Toggle the TWS mode for high-intensity irradiation of the radar. With the pilot's finger pressed, the gray heavy fighter leaped lightly and threw down two gray-bodied white-headed missiles with wingtips. The AIM-7P "Sparrow", which ignited with a delay of 0.6 seconds, dragged the thick smoke from the detonation of the thrusters and flew away towards the enemy plane that could not be seen in the sky.

Aiming at the FSA fighter 35 kilometers away, it locked on two targets at a time and launched the "Sparrow" to engage in engagement, and Li Gejian's blue-wing F-15E entered the side transition position, and at the same time provided mid-course command correction for the missile that was stuck in the air.

Unlike the earlier models of the "Sparrow" family, such as the AIM-7F/M, the batch of AIM-7P missiles purchased by ALSA from the United States adopts the same technology as the Soviet R-27 series missiles, which can receive radio correction instructions during the flight and switch to semi-active radar guidance with higher tracking accuracy until approaching the target, and the irradiation requirements for the carrier aircraft are also greatly reduced.

Unlike the previous radar detection, visual screening and then tracking and driving away, today's face of Syrian rebel fighters, ALSA's F-15 twin aircraft chose to fire directly, not only because of the convenience of target screening - the Syrian government army SRAF suffered heavy losses in the civil war and never took the initiative to go deep into the no-fly zone, but also because in the previous days, the rebel fighters openly attacked the patrol fighters of the Arab League Defense Air Force in the Jordanian no-fly zone, shooting down two Su-27Ms and killing two pilots.

In the aftermath of the incident, after urgent consultations in the Arab League Parliament, the ALSA command has been instructed to lift the restrictions on weapons, authorizing front-line troops to open fire without warning, including the use of over-the-horizon missiles, when they encounter enemy aircraft in the no-fly zone and are fully confident that they are "Free Syrian Air Force" fighters.

Locked onto the target, opened fire decisively, and the "sparrow" dragging white smoke was flying all the way through the air; However, at this time of day, there are far more fighters stranded in the no-fly zone than the ALSA and FSA.

On the side of the two Syrian rebel F-16C/D fighters flying at an altitude of 4,000 meters, a large area of dark gray fighters is passing between the white clouds, with a sci-fi diamond-shaped wing and a diamond-shaped tail with obvious cambering, the slender nose is like a saber, and the low-visibility meniscus symbol on the wing is reflected by the sun, which is still quite eye-catching against the background of the almost black fuselage. Piloting radar stealth fighters into the no-fly zone, Syrian rebel pilots easily evaded the radar scans of ALSA fighters, and black "ghost" fighters flew in a sparse formation, preparing to attack the new party-controlled zone in the east with various bombs mounted in the magazines.

The YF-23 "Ghost", a joint development of Northrop and McDonnell Douglas for the ATF project, was never put into mass production because it lost to Lockheed Martin's YF-22, but now appears in the skies of the Middle East.

Adopting low-altitude flight tactics, the "ghost" fighters, like big bats, relied on a good radar stealth design to stealthily walk, not only the ALSA fleet patrolling in the air was unaware, but the ground warning radars of the warring parties also found almost no trace of these mysterious fighters.

With a unique deep bomb magazine, the FSA fleet carrying a large number of air-to-side weapons crossed the no-fly zone and along the Euphrates River to the fierce battle of the Nasyanian front, and the indiscriminate Iraqi city defended by the New Party dropped a large number of bombs and incendiary bombs, which turned the deep hinterland of the New Party's ground forces upside down at once; For a time, the city was filled with smoke and fire, and everywhere was a hellish scene.

Stationed in Iraqi cities close to the front line and lacking depth, it is impossible for the ground troops to receive early warning from lookout posts, and they can only rely on old long-range warning radars to obtain air information, and they have no warning for the arrival of the "Ghost" fleet, so they can only hastily organize a counterattack.

In the face of the hordes of black fighters frantically dropping bombs, all kinds of anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns and portable missiles on the ground greeted the air in a chaotic manner, and tongues of fire and tracer lights rose and fell in the sky one after another. The seemingly fierce artillery fire was rarely effective because of the lack of preparation and unified command, and the soldiers simply set up 12.7 mm heavy machine guns, and even held their assault rifles and hand-pulled machines into the sky and fired continuously; In the thick smoke, someone vaguely saw the light gray crescent logo under the wings of the black fighter, and couldn't help but exclaim:

"It's the rebels、—— it's the planes of the Syrian rebels!"

The sudden appearance of the black strange bird and the rain of bombs falling from the sky caught the New Party forces off guard, and the ground troops, who were blown up by the air raid and destroyed the logistics and command nodes, were somewhat unable to parry in the face of the offensive of the Syrian rebels, and the shape of the ground battle suddenly became more and more critical.

Seeing that the position was in danger and hurriedly called for support by telephone, the commander of the Independent Regiment stationed in Nassia asked NATA to send fighters to assist in the defense, and he also complained on the phone:

"What are the people at the radar station doing, are they all asleep? - Yes, Ibrahim, now the sky is full of enemy planes, and there are almost one or two hundred of them! ”

Angrily buttoned the phone, the rapid fire sound of anti-aircraft guns "bang-bang" came to his ears, the screaming of fighters from far and near, the dull rumble of bomb explosions was endless, and he felt that the ground under his feet was trembling, and the commander felt that he should exaggerate it a little more, this formation was simply a fight with the Allied bombardment in World War II.

Damn Syrian murderers, how many fighter-bombers did they send, and when did these people suddenly get so strong and have so many planes to go crazy here?

Suddenly encountering an air attack of unprecedented scale, although the number of incoming enemies was not a hundred, twenty or thirty, but it was always correct, and the commander of the 100,000 who urgently called for air support did not wait long, and the NATA fighters in the sky quickly showed their shape.

After a few days of combat performance, after coming to Iraq, he repeatedly shot down enemy planes and completed a phased technical assessment; early this morning, Long Yun drove his red No. 15 Su-27SKM into the air to the west, and was on his way to Nasya.

After joining NATA, he quickly proved his strength with actual combat performance, and Long Yun no longer followed Blue Thirteen and dispatched as Qi Hui's wingman, but fought with the yellow-haired young man nicknamed "Kvass", a Russian who had just become familiar with his face, and his identity changed from a wingman to a long plane.

So now, behind the red dragon-shaped Su-27SKM under the sky, there is also a gray Su-27SK, with a dark yellow starfish radial livery, which makes the slender and smooth Sukhoi fighter look like a peeled banana. (To be continued......)
