Chapter 913 Surface-to-Air Missiles

After receiving a reprimanding call from the headquarters, the Liberal officer in charge of air defense command shouted in the command car, but he quickly gave the order to "engage at will."

This decision came from the inspiration of the non-commissioned officer next to him, who reminded Mr. Commander, who had just been reprimanded, that whether it was the "Aster"-15 or the old-fashioned "HAWK" (Homing_All_the_Way_Killer, the whole course of the anti-personnel weapon) missile system, the fire control radar would be affected by some wind and sand, but these radars were just difficult to catch the traces of "ghosts" and "hurricanes", and it was best to use them to hit a large number of ALSA fighters in the sky.

"Really? - Very good, then immediately fire, aim at the Arab League fighters in the sky and hit me! ”

"Understood, sir!"

As one order after another was issued, the Syrian Liberal Party, which basically did not have an air defense network covering the entire territory, quickly entered combat mode with two independent ground-to-air missile batteries deployed in the occupied areas.

It is completely different from the typical combat mode of air defense interception, which often decides victory or defeat in one or two rounds, and in this sandstorm, seeing the fighters of the two armies duel in the sky, the Liberals who control the fire units of the anti-aircraft missiles on the front line have long been itchy and unbearable; These lawless guys have never been a big deal to watch the excitement, and they didn't fire without permission because they were afraid of the punishment of their superiors before, but now that they have received the order to "engage at will", a group of people are hurriedly operating on the battle position.

Turning on the fire control radar and turning on the fire control computer, the operator's fingers are constantly clicking on the rows of buttons. Each target is clearly displayed on the circular scanning picture tube.

With the order to open fire. Whether it is the old "HAWK" with semi-active guidance or the new generation of European medium-range air defense main "Aster"-15, they are all off the board like sharp arrows. I saw one after another ground-to-air missiles aimed at the sky and standing proudly in the sand and dust spitting out tongues of fire and flying fast, and the "Aster" missiles that sprang out of their launch canisters climbed all the way up with their stout thrusters, and the rebels, who did not consider the continuous firepower, fired more than a dozen anti-aircraft missiles in one go, completely occupying the firepower channel and bringing it into full play.

The confrontation in the sky, which was already very intertwined, was now turned upside down by a series of ground-to-air missiles that meandered straight up.

The F-15 fighters of the ALSA fleet successively captured radar signals from the ground as they circled and confronted the YF-23 "ghosts" in a series of maneuvering confrontations, and the flight altitude was getting lower and lower. Irradiated by fire control radars in SAM systems. The RWR on the "Eagle" emitted a didi beep sound, which was originally a distraction between chasing and killing "ghosts" and beware of "hurricanes", and the missiles on the ground with a dim background made the hired pilots secretly frightened.

It only takes about ten seconds for the surface-to-air missiles to fly thousands of meters above the ground, but it was not only ALSA who was surprised by the attack, but the FSA pilots who were in a deep battle also noticed the threat from the ground and couldn't help but shout in the cockpit.

Damn, these good air defense soldiers. Don't they think there is not enough chaos in the sky!

When the battle in the sky was in full swing, and the fighters of the enemy and us were in a ball. Launching surface-to-air missiles is a complete risk, and when you consider the chaotic normalcy of the Middle East theater and the fact that there are basically no IFF steps, it is a complete drive for pilots to go crazy on the spot.

Ground-to-air missiles are used against incoming targets, and the "Aster"-15 with active radar guidance may hit the wrong target directly after it is fired once the guidance is out of order, while the "HAWK" with semi-active guidance is not safe at all when the radar is aimed at the wrong target. Of course, the pilots in the fighter planes didn't know what models of missiles were protruding from the duststorm ground, but the RWR alarm kept ringing non-stop, making everyone in the fierce battle inevitably a little flustered.

Yes, theoretically speaking, if you attack a target with a radar-guided missile, the missile will basically stare at the larger third-generation aircraft of the RCS, but on the battlefield in the sky where the situation is changing rapidly, what will never happen?

Under the watchful eye of the ECJA and ALSA, one after another black "ghosts" can only run wildly in the sky at this time, in the face of the threat of warheads far more powerful than air-to-air missiles, no one can really handle it calmly - of course, at this time all the air fighters are actually the same, in the face of a completely unconventional attack, not sure who these big guys are aiming at one by one, everyone's first choice is to avoid it immediately.

In the chaotic battle, they had to be distracted to dodge the missiles that came at them like throwing guns, and in the large airspace where the fighters were gathered and the tracks were densely packed, for a time they could only see the fighters rolling and moving, and they were still hostile to each other, and the missiles and aerial artillery were still firing one after another, and even the fighters of the coalition forces, which were originally circling in circles on the periphery of the airspace and watching a show, were afraid of the missiles that pierced into the sky in a daze and scattered in all directions.

This scene, presented on the radar display screen of the ground command vehicle, made the operator only feel a burst of excitement:

"Haha! It's useless to fly around!

-- Keep fighting, hit hard, we have missiles in stock! ”

The battle was regarded as a kind of stimulating pastime, and as the commander shouted excitedly, more spectacular patches of smoke and dust rose from the missile position, and more and more surface-to-air missiles flew off the ground.

The Liberal anti-aircraft missile unit, which had been deployed on the southern flank of Deir ez-Zor and was preparing to resist enemy air strikes, had not been able to wait for a decent fighter meeting because of the lack of strength of the opponent. Today, however, seeing that there are so many targets in the sky, the confused commanders have also decided that "missiles can't hit stealth fighters," and the dust storms flying in the sky have made the battlefield present a strange state of near-one-way transparency, and the attack planes cannot fly low and are not easy to destroy ground targets, but ground-to-air missiles can be launched as usual.

One after another, the surging anti-aircraft missiles passed by the fighters one after another, and these missiles with amazing momentum but inaccurate did not pose a serious threat to the fighters.

However, unlike the sober theoretical analysis, in the real face of the missiles that take off into the sky, almost no pilot can always remain calm, and it takes great courage to decide that "the missile is not aimed at itself", and it has become a completely subconscious instinctive choice to dodge.

Just when everyone was driving the landline to rush left and right, avoiding the threat of missiles and enemy planes, there was really an unlucky F-15 fighter plane that was injured by a missile in close proximity, but fortunately no one insisted on pursuing it in the chaos, dragging a stream of smoke "Eagle" turned around and separated from the wingman under the guidance of the command system, while other fighters were still fighting desperately in a large clear sky like a thick soup - this situation is incomprehensible at first glance, in fact, the "ghosts" of the Syrian rebels are worried that they will be chased and killed by ALSA when they leave the war, The ALSA fleet will never show weakness in front of the "copycat city management" and the rebels, and in the end, the ECJA fighters who are watching from the sidelines can walk away, but they can't get out because of the furious surprise attack of a certain angry pilot.

Sara Lopez, a major of the Combined Air Force immersed in personal feelings, was piloting her 22+07 "Hurricane" through the rain of bullets, the white fog of the violent maneuver shrouded the light white fuselage painted with blue stars, and used a standard serpentine maneuver to dodge a "HAWK" stabbing nearby, and then immediately circled and chased the black YF-23 in front of the side with full strength.

From the time he approached the war zone to the present, the major, who had followed his comrades from afar, had actually been suppressing the anger in his heart, and the girl who was not deeply involved in the world and was jealous and hateful was completely enraged by the anti-aircraft missiles that came out of the dust storm.

Even if reason has been reminding her that the "Hurricane" fighter she piloted has good radar stealth capabilities, compared with the gray "Eagle" group in the air, it is unlikely to become the target of these missiles, but in the chaotic battlefield where the fighters are roaring and the missiles are flying fast, the pilot's subconscious desire to fight has been completely ignited all of a sudden.

Seeing the Liberal forces shooting missiles into the sky, it was clear that they had no brains to attack ALSA in such a reckless way, and somehow the young Major Lopez felt an irrepressible rage. Piloting the landline out of the formation and single-handedly chasing down the black "ghost" in the sky, she couldn't tell where this anger came from, in the eyes of the ECJA pilot, ALSA, shouldn't that be the same as the enemy......

In an instant, the image of the blue-painted "Attack Eagle" fighter flashed in her mind, and the girl frowned and shook her head, how could this be, why did she think of these inexplicable things when she was fighting?

DAMN ALSA, MOST OF THAT MEAN-SPOKEN "LEE" IS ALSO THERE, WHY ARE THEY HERE TO MESS AROUND!

Standing in the high-G overloaded "Hurricane" landline, the major still turned his head to look at the YF-23 in the direction of two o'clock, and a flashing red "LA" (Lancement_autorisé, allow firing) prompt appeared next to the superimposed cross circle on the helmet display, and the slender fingers wrapped in the flight gloves suddenly pressed the button, and the rapidly circling "Hurricane" immediately opened the hatch and popped out a "meteor" with a narrow air intake, and the thin tail flame of the ramjet engine drove the missile to fly away like an arrow.
