The fighting in the south is over, but on the other hand, the shape of Syria in the west has changed dramatically in recent days.

After a brief New Year's truce, the Syrian Freedom Party, which rejected the terms of the peace talks, has started another war with Damascus.

In this case, the Liberal Party entrenched in Aleppo is also particularly powerful, and I don't know where to find a batch of short-range TBMs (Tactic_Ballistic_Missile, tactical ballistic missiles) such as the SS-1C, plus maybe a chemical warhead made up by itself, and actually put it into the battlefield without any care.

Holding the "strategic weapons of the poor", just like the routine of the Saddam regime back then, the Syrian rebels' missile units first fired a few missiles in the direction of Israel, hoping to fish in troubled waters by exacerbating the chaos in the Middle East, but they were intercepted by the US military's anti-missile system without any effect, which triggered unanimous condemnation from the international community; The Liberal regime in Aleppo targeted the direction of Damascus and Mosul, and from time to time it would launch a few TBMs, although they were all aimed at military bases, rather than killing civilians without limits, but they still caused great trouble for the new Iraqi party.

If the effect of a chemical weapons attack is simply evaluated, it is actually quite ordinary under cold weather conditions, and the personnel in military targets also have relatively good protection conditions and awareness of protection, and a few tactical missiles scattered with chemical weapons cannot influence the situation of the war.

However. The destructive effect is one thing. Facing the TBM that rises into the air and roars. The New Party can only rely on a limited number of S-300 surface-to-air missile units to protect the capital and a small number of important areas, and a large area of the country is resigned to ballistic missile strikes, especially since these technologically backward large rockets still carry chemical warheads, which are particularly troublesome to deal with.

Strictly observe the ceasefire and wait for UN mediation. It turned into an all-out attack to cooperate with Damascus against the Liberal Party forces in Syria, and the area near the Syrian-Iraqi border, which was already frictional, soon became another fierce frontline of fire.

It has been several days since the Liberals frantically launched missiles, and the high-spirited New Party ground forces have also invaded Syria, but compared to the overwhelming momentum on the ground, NATA's ability to move in the sky has not improved, and the few fighter jets lack air-to-air capabilities, making it difficult to hunt down the rebel TEL (Transport, Erect, Launch, transport, erect, launch) tri-purpose vehicles. Naturally, it is impossible to stop the tactical missiles flying one after another.

In the face of the irregular, difficult-to-prevent TBM threat, it is difficult to obtain sufficient modern missile interception systems for a while. The Forces Nova can only increase their anti-aircraft fire in key areas, while other military targets that are less afraid of chemical warheads are on alert, as is the NATA base near Fort Scharqat.

After the end of the crossing back to reality, a little tired by an alarm, Long Yun, who had no combat mission, had breakfast and slowly walked back to the camp, he took advantage of this rare rest time to sort out the more chaotic thoughts recently, and returned to the combat preparation room at close to noon, and after doing a routine physical examination, while putting on equipment and preparing to drive the "villain" to attack, he was reminded by the officer of the equipment department, telling him that "if the situation allows, it is best to try to bring back the auxiliary fuel tank."

"Fuel tanks? What's the situation...... Is it not enough? ”

Seeing that the NATA officer with a wry smile apologized, and at the same time verified his guess, Long Yun, who was busy with pre-war preparations, didn't ask much, and he probably could also find out the thoughts of the people who came through guò consciousness.

Obviously, for the financially stretched Mosul regime, the recent purchase of J-10E fighters is already a big deal, although with the changes in the situation in the Middle East, military aid from the outside world is becoming more and more open-minded batches into Iraq, but the so-called aid, of course, is better than their own purchase; Let's just say that the current 3rd_IHFS, aviation kerosene and missiles may be enough, after all, without these things, there will be no war at all, but other supporting materials may not be so abundant.

For example, the standard configuration of the "villain", the aluminum alloy auxiliary fuel tank with a capacity of 1,500 liters, which is basically a fighter spare part during training in peacetime, is equivalent to a one-time consumable under the war-shaped shì.

Like Long Yun's No. 03 J-10E, every time it encounters a FIAF enemy aircraft and enters a combat air battle, it must throw away one or two in order to ensure maneuverability.

"I'm sorry, Mr. 'Red Dragon', but I know this request is a little ...... To be presumptuous, of course, if you need to abandon it in an air battle, please do not hesitate, our armament department has also been trying to find a way to solve this problem. ”

"Ah, okay! No problem, I'll do my best. ”

Knowing that NATA was still in a quandary, and on the other hand, even if he had money, he couldn't immediately get the equipment he needed, Long Yun grabbed his flight helmet and left the combat preparation room, walking briskly towards the red 03 landline bathed in the midday sun.

Walking through the base apron swept by the cold wind, while raising his hand to block the dazzling light, seeing the camouflage figure of the two "villains" on the side of the runway, he remembered the time when he was driving the J-10A in China, and when he participated in the IFT qualifiers, he didn't have to carry a fuel tank, after all, it is very dangerous to throw things in the competition venue, and the rules of the game have always encouraged active offense and punished the behavior of delaying the game by fuel.

Competition, after all, is not the same as real war, and young people who have deeply experienced actual combat now have more experience.

Recalling the previous combat experience, counting from the MiG-29 in the parallel world, Viktor Rezenov has not used the auxiliary fuel tank much, and later used the Su-27 fighter, this fighter with an amazing amount of internal fuel and a relatively insufficient thrust-to-weight ratio simply does not have an auxiliary fuel tank, which also makes Long Yun a little unfamiliar with this concept, abandoning the auxiliary fuel tank during air combat, he was really a little unaccustomed to flying the J-10E at the beginning.

However, even so, for the "villain" who replaced the WS-15B engine, the engine with greater thrust is also more fuel-efficient in air combat, compared to the prototype J-10B, the internal fuel volume of the J-10E has almost not changed, which makes the continuous engagement ability of the fighter poor, and it has become a necessity to carry the auxiliary fuel tank.

Thinking about these things quite easily in his mind, he completed the preparations for departure, and soon drove the plane into the air and turned due west, Long Yun's combat mission today is still to patrol the edge of the no-fly zone.

After a brief battle after New Year's Day, the Security Council-authorized air strikes quickly convinced the Baghdad regime, and the NATA-FIAF room-to-room rivalry ended, and the 3rd Independent Squadron once again turned back to Syria; The opponent is still the FSA of the Syrian rebels, but unlike the hard support some time ago, the air strikes led by the US-British coalition are still continuing, and the main opponents of the Liberal fighters fighting in the sky are still the strong intervention of the multinational force air force and the Arab coalition defense air force.

UNSA and ALSA, neither of these two air forces is easy to mess with, the large-scale, organized but really deformed FSA can only barely cope with the air offensive from both directions, and the core task of defending air supremacy in the Liberal Party-occupied areas is still not enough, and it is indeed difficult to do anything about the New Party armed forces that have been killed from the east.

The Security Council and the Arab League jointly intervened, and the intervention of the European Community was temporarily restrained, and in such a situation, the sortie of NATA fighters was much less threatening than before, and Long Yun, who drove the Red Zero No. 3 "villain" and his partner "Kvass", carried two auxiliary fuel tanks to patrol outside the no-fly zone border as usual, and the two J-10E did not find a Liberal fighter for a long time; In the meantime, the two met with an ALSA patrol fleet, and the two sides had a tacit understanding to launch signal flares to identify, and then continued to fly forward.

During the ensuing cruise, Long Yun and "Kvas" launched a round of over-the-horizon attacks on suspected FSA targets trying to cross the no-fly zone, but the opponent chose to turn and run.

Seeing the target disappear from the radar, it was obviously due to the attenuation of the speed vector of the PD detection and could not be intercepted, there was no way to confirm whether there was a battle result, and there was no need to enter the fight, and the relaxed air situation also made Long Yun happy to save the auxiliary fuel tank and relieve the pressure on NATA logistics, he briefly contacted the wingman to confirm that the fuel storage was lower than the normal patrol requirement, and then flew back with the Russian boy.

Since coming to the Middle East, he has not performed such an easy mission for a long time, and Long Yun, who returned from the plane, only met the "weirdo" Qi Hui in the restaurant in the evening.

Sure enough, this guy who was bent on killing the enemy, or making checks, actually had a new result, while eating, Long Yun listened to his description of flying eyebrows, it seemed that he encountered a formation of attack planes of the Liberal Party in the south of the no-fly zone, and picked up two MiG-27s with missiles and aerial guns, which made Long Yun a little surprised, he reminded Qi Hui that the Syrian rebels did not seem to be equipped with this attack aircraft, maybe he shot down a MiG-23MS/MF or something.

"Huh, really?

It's also possible that I didn't look closely at the time, and as soon as I succeeded in the dive attack, I pulled it up, and it was so dark that I couldn't see it clearly. However, if it is the MiG-23, then what are they doing flying on the ground battlefield that is seesawing, the altitude is less than five hundred, is that where the fighters should be? (To be continued......)
