Chapter 1080: The Final Showdown

In the battle in the dark of night, even if the two sides are constantly approaching, the pilot cannot directly observe the enemy plane with the naked eye, and can only barely identify the enemy's traces by the light of the fighter's tail flame.

Even now, in the face of the UNSA "Weilong" flying head-on, the distance between the two sides was still more than 20 kilometers away, and the tail flame was not visible because of the direction, the radar was mobilized to enter the steady tracking of the target, and the Liberal Party fighters, which had finally discovered the trace of the enemy plane, immediately prepared to launch a head-on attack.

At such a long distance, it is obviously inconvenient to use combat missiles, and several "ghosts" in the sky are about to open the magazine to launch a batch of AIM-120B, but the radar alarm indicates a new threat, and the W-band irradiation signal once again appears in the heads-up display.

Active radar-guided missiles, why is there another batch!

After suffering a wave of PL-15K baptism, several "ghosts" have been damaged, and the Liberal pilots who are a little unclear about the battlefield situation are still a little confused, they probably understand that this is the BVR process during large-scale engagement, and the next should be a tense and fierce battle within visual range; However, contrary to the idea of the FSA personnel, the danger of entering a combat in the night sky is self-evident, and the UNSA now has no idea of fighting in close combat, but under the unified command of AWACS aircraft, approaching the "ghost" group in the air from multiple directions, and then there is another silent attack.

Unlike the previous first group of attacks, which aimed for a long range, at a distance of less than 40 kilometers, even a straight track could ensure that the target was encountered, and the ARHM that threw out the belly magazine quickly ignited and accelerated after a short fall; After the ramjet-powered PL-15K, followed by a wave of dense PL-15C salvos, slender missiles that accelerated in different directions soon approached the YF-23 fleet.

The warring sides in the night. There is not much difference in the performance of the fighter itself. The "Weilong" fleet, which had detected enemy planes in advance by virtue of its networking, twice preemptively opened fire.

About twenty seconds after the missile was unsheathed and flew towards the enemy aircraft. The J-20A fighter that launched the attack turned on the Type 1493 radar, scanned it according to the approximate position of the previous electromagnetic signal detection, and soon completed the target interception, and began to provide correction instructions to the PL-15C missile in the air.

The batch of PL-15 missiles purchased by the UNSA, although it is an export version with a slightly reduced configuration, does not have a two-way digital chain between the missile and the carrier aircraft, and is enough to deal with the Rabble-like Liberal Party.

With the "Weilong" radar turned on, the FSA fleet, which sensed the new threat, was soon forced to maneuver again, but this time the missile that broke through the air was assisted by the carrier aircraft's down-chain command. The radar homing head, which was originally slightly powerless in the face of stealth fighters, omitted the scanning step, and the antenna was directly aimed at the predetermined direction, which quickly captured the big black bat in the field of view, and a life-and-death battle between fighters and missiles began again!

Attacked by two batches of BVR missiles in succession, although a batch of AIM-120Bs were launched in a hurry to try to counterattack, the "ghost" that still adhered to the single-aircraft engagement failed to organize an effective offensive.

In the face of incoming missiles that do not know where they are and may hit at an instant, the YF-23 with full afterburner is tumbling in the night sky, and the extremely nervous pilots still have the heart to take care of the missiles that are fired, and they completely rely on the airborne fire control to set the parameters and then throw away and launch in a series of waves, and the "Slammer" that ignites and flies out almost does not get the guidance of the carrier aircraft. The hit rate in the face of stealth fighters can be imagined.

From the first wave of PL-15K out of the cabin, to the hit detonation of PL-15C. In less than three minutes, the over-the-horizon battle cost the FSA more than half of its fighters.

After taking off, all the way to the east, the YF-23, which was originally in a group and was about to kill with great momentum, was now in a crush, and about half of them even suffered the kiss of death from missiles, turning into a brilliant fireworks tumbling and falling in the dark night.

was going to pursue the air raid formation of the multinational force, but it suddenly encountered UNSA, and the unexpected over-the-horizon encounter made the Syrians wolf bèi, and the remaining "ghost" fighters also completely lost their fighting spirit, and even gave up the idea of desperately rushing up to fight, and directly turned around and fled; Seeing that the opponent chose to retreat, the "Weilong", whose duty was to control the air supremacy in the liberated areas, did not continue to pursue, and a battle that seemed to be similar in equipment, but in fact had a huge disparity in strength, ended with the UNSA itself losing a single loss and achieving nearly ten crashes.

Naturally, the unexpected air strikes and the midnight attack by the UNSA did not directly inform the new regime of the new regime, but in order to avoid a possible accidental attack, the Security Council sent a briefing to Mosul in advance.

After receiving the information, NATA, as the air force of the Mosul regime, did not participate in the battle that broke out in the night sky of Iraq from beginning to end, and a group of volunteer pilots, including Long Yun, were only on standby on the ground, and the fighters were honestly lying in the temporary hangar or on the tarmac.

Although they did not take off into the air, they could faintly see a flash of light in the distant sky in the night, and fierce battles broke out in the sky near the battle line.

Yes, in the vast sea of war, people's fate is sometimes so capricious.

Along with the bombs dropped on the heads of the Liberal Party, the multinational forces in the east also launched large-scale air strikes on targets in Syria, and the participation of the Chinese and Soviet troops in the war made the rebels entrenched in Deir ez-Zor completely despair.

Since the start of the civil war, the Liberal forces, who have made considerable gains on the ground front, and have successively captured many large and small towns in the territory, have been naïve and naïve thugs who once thought that they would soon be able to completely conquer all of Syria and have their own territory in the ancient and magical land of the Middle East; However, the world has changed over time, and the rules of this world are more complicated than a martial artist expected, and the several major countries that decided to make a move resolutely made a decisive effort, and the battlefield shape that had been a long-term see-saw suddenly took a sharp turn.

The brave Damascus Army, the Arab League, the new Iraqi Party, the multinational forces in the sky, the ALSA and the UNSA, the former allies of old Europe are now apathetic, and the Liberal Party, which is completely caught between the superpower and regional armed forces, is embattled on all sides.

Next, the rebels seem to have no choice but to stage a final madness.

Seeing that there is a dead end ahead, the rapidly changing situation of the Syrian civil war has naturally moved towards the end of the final showdown step by step.

In late January, just three days after the air raids launched by the Chinese and Soviet forces, the Damascus Army, which was ready for battle, finally began its mighty march to liberate the whole country, and under the air cover of the US-British coalition forces, 100,000 ground troops divided into two routes and made a rapid eastward assault along the Euphrates River; At the same time, with the help of the newly reinforced air force, the New Iraqi Party, which is struggling with the Syrian rebels, has also exerted all its strength, mobilizing the ground forces at its disposal, and advancing with courage to implement the war motto that "offense is the best defense".

The battle finally began, and like everyone involved, Long Yun, who was on standby at Fort Scharqat Air Base, soon ushered in a battle of fate as a NATA pilot.

As early as the previous morning, while having breakfast in the cafeteria of the base, Long Yun had learned about the changes in the frontline situation through the broadcast, and that the offensive of Damascus and Mosul had been launched almost simultaneously, attacking the Liberal forces that had become caged beasts from both east and west.

After a short period of strategic slump, the Battle of Deir Ezzor, which was intended to wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop, was launched so quickly, that the speed of Damascus's action surprised Long Yun, who was waiting for the day; However, since this is the case, the last battle will come sooner or later, and when this battle is over, the mission of him and his comrades in the 3rd Independent Squadron can also be completed smoothly, and he can leave this war-torn world, pack his bags and return to the home that has been gone for less than a month, but has been missing.

However, before returning home safely, the thrilling and tragic battle in the sky is the only thing that young people need to think about now.

Just after the ground offensive was launched, the first day was still dormant according to the orders of the command, and like all Iraqis, Long Yun and the others were waiting for the heavy air raids of the multinational force to come to an end before it was their turn to appear.

In the hinterland of northern Iraq, the 3rd_IHFS station does not see the Chinese and Soviet fighters whistling back and forth, but the J-20A fighters patrolling the sky can often be seen. When the fighter plane flies low, the gray-white low-visibility "UN" letter is faintly visible, and witnessing these avant-garde "Weilong" flying lightly and quickly in the clear blue sky, the young man who sees things and feels homesick will think of his motherland thousands of miles away, and he copied his hands in the pockets of his jacket outside the flight suit, only to realize that he is not a real soldier now, but a volunteer pilot under the command of NATA.

Well, how can I say it, although I have experienced the war firsthand, and when I observe it as a volunteer and from the perspective of a volunteer, it really feels different from the war experience of Viktor Rezenov in the parallel world. (To be continued......)
