Where is the enemy plane?No one knew at this time, but just ten seconds ago, the radar station deployed [-] kilometers away from the base was suddenly bombed!

Without any warning, when the radar soldiers in that radar station were watching the radar screen vigilantly at their posts, suddenly, several bright spots appeared on the screen, but they were already very close, and the distance was no more than 1000 meters!

The Red Bird II accurately found the target. It suddenly pulled up from the low altitude and then swooped down. This attack mode is very effective.

Carrying unused fuel and explosives in the warhead, the entire radar station was paralyzed under the attack of this cruise missile.

Subsequently, the emergency situation of the radar station being attacked was immediately reported to the air force base. The base responded very quickly, but it was too late.

"Quick, take off urgently!" Inside the Tomcat fighter jet, the pilot who had been on duty on combat readiness, suddenly became nervous.

Close the canopy and start the engine. This dual-engine fighter has to be started separately, first on the right, then on the left, and then align with the center line of the runway and turn on afterburner!

The tomcat in front had already started to slide on the runway. At this moment, everyone felt that the end of the world was coming.

The two Red Bird II missiles flying from the low altitude circled half a circle according to the pre-planned route, avoiding the southwest direction where the ground anti-aircraft fire is dense, and entered from the northeast direction. Instead of hitting the ground directly, it exploded over the runway.

As the warhead exploded, countless small warheads flew out of it, like rain, and fell around the runway.

Then, there were countless small explosions, and the runway was already a dazzling light.

These two Red Bird [-] missiles, which are specially used to attack the opponent's runway, carry a cluster warhead specially used to counter the runway. There are countless small bombs inside the warhead, and if they spread out, the entire runway will be completely abolished.

Not only the runway, but the Tomcat fighter jet that was about to take off with its afterburner turned on, was unfortunately under the center of a missile explosion, and the densest small bombs covered the Tomcat fighter jet. There was a big fire.Aircraft smashed.

The Tomcat fighter pilot behind saw the tragedy ahead, but fortunately he did not turn on the afterburner. He adjusted the throttle lever to the minimum with his left hand, and stepped on the two rudders with both feet.

In the sky, the rudder can only be stepped on one side to control the vertical tail, while on land, the rudders can be stepped on at the same time to brake the wheels.

The pilot's face turned pale, but he will never be afraid!

He operated a plane, slowly gliding to the spare runway on the other side, took off from the spare runway, and faced the enemy!

The first wave of strikes was completely beyond the expectations of the Iranians. Until the explosion sounded, they still did not find the incoming enemy.

Where is the enemy?I don't even know!

They didn't know that this was an Iraqi cruise missile, and the carrier aircraft returned long after it was launched.

Several anti-aircraft artillery positions that were not bombed immediately began to shoot aimlessly into the sky. The radar of the Hawker air defense missile was turned on, ready to shoot down the incoming enemy planes at any time.

Although the entire base was temporarily in a panic, they were still tirelessly preparing for a counterattack!

Flowers bloomed on the ground in the distance, and Arslan knew that it was time to go out by himself.

He switched the multi-function display on the right to the mode of guiding the Maverick missile. Immediately, the flight data that had been displayed disappeared, and a picture appeared on the display.

Under the wing, the seeker of a Maverick missile was activated according to the order of loading in advance, and inside the glass cover at the front of the Maverick missile, a sophisticated TV camera lens began to rotate, deflect downward, and began to focus on the ground superior.

Everything is the same as when training with the simulator!Arslan adjusted the button on the front, and the Maverick missile seeker looked at the runway in the distance. Soon, it aimed at the fighter plane that was taxiing on the spare runway. From the screen, it was a A Tomcat ready to take off!

Alright, let you be the first target!Arslan adjusted the button, pressed the crosshairs on the monitor to the middle of the fighter, and then pressed the launch button on the control stick.

The Maverick missile on the right, with its dual-thrust single-stage solid rocket motor ignited, and flames emerged from the tail, and Maverick left the launch rail.

The Iranian plane on the ground was aiming at the center line on the spare runway. The pilot mustered up his courage and turned on the afterburner. It only took more than ten seconds for him to be able to take off into the sky. When he reached the sky, it was his stage!

The plane began to roll on the runway, and he looked at the front instruments, as long as the speed was reached, he would pull up the nose as soon as possible to get out of the most dangerous take-off process.

The weapon operator at the back suddenly noticed something flying towards the left with thick smoke, his pupils dilated, as if he had seen the TV camera at the front of the flying missile aimed at them.

Then, there was a huge explosion sound, and the Maverick missile shot straight down from the sky, and at the last second, it swooped down and hit the target that had already been recognized. The 60kg high-explosive energy-concentrated battle The head of the plane was hitting the middle fuel tank of the plane, and suddenly, it caused a terrible fire.

The hope of a final counterattack was dashed.

Arslan was very satisfied when he saw the flame on the monitor, everything was exactly the same as the simulator training, and he started looking for the next target.

Chapter 359 The Last Calf Is For You

Arslan switched on another Maverick missile without hesitation, and this time, it aimed at an anti-aircraft gun emplacement on the ground that was drawing a band of light towards the sky.

Everything was as proficient as walking and eating. On the screen in front of him, another ball of fire burst out, and then that position became dumb.

At this time, the two F-20 fighters behind the formation, responsible for air control, have accelerated their climb, turned on their radars, and monitored the surrounding airspace to prevent Iranian fighters that slipped through the net from causing damage to the bombing formation.

However, nothing was found. At this time, it was Iran’s defense gap. Usually, Iraq’s bombing was during the day, and the last sneak attack was in the middle of the night. It was impossible at dusk like this. They originally It was time to eat, and now I ate a bomb from the sky.

After launching the two Mavericks, the F-20 formation had already flown over the target area, and they needed to enter again. However, the bombing effect just now was very good. After this time, there was nothing threatening on the ground. The targets, those antiaircraft artillery positions and surface-to-air missile positions, have already known their positions in advance, and they have all been destroyed under the joint attack of the Red Bird [-] cruise missile and the Maverick missile. The only thing they need to guard against is the possible Iranian soldiers carrying anti-aircraft missiles on their shoulders.

At this time, the Iranians no longer have that thought, they have been completely stunned by this round of violent blows.

I have been bombed by the opponent in normal times, but when the opponent drops many bombs, not many can hit the target. For example, the anti-aircraft artillery position keeps shooting in the air, and when the enemy plane flies away, not many are hit. .

But now, the surviving people suddenly discovered that the opponent's bomb was terribly high-precision, as if it had eyes, and it was flying towards him, and he couldn't even hide it!

The ground was already in a state of tragedy, with bombed-out buildings, weapons, and dead and wounded bodies everywhere.

The only thing that made them feel lucky was that the hangars with thick concrete structures were still safe and sound. A missile hit the ceiling of a hangar, but it only blasted a small hole in the ceiling, causing no damage. as a result of.

However, their mood did not last for a minute.

The third batch of F-20 fighters also rushed over the air force base.

Looking at the sea of ​​flames on the ground, Adnan also felt a sense of excitement. Back then, when their fighter planes were in the sky, as long as they encountered the Tomcat fighter planes of the Iranian Air Force, they would either run away or be shot down. There was no third way to go.

Those Tomcat fighters were once their lingering nightmare.

On the first day when the Iran-Iraq War broke out, Adnan participated in the air raid on the Iranian Air Force Base. However, poor command and outdated equipment prevented them from causing substantial damage to the Iranian Air Force. , The Iranian Air Force started a crazy counterattack, and since then, it has been suppressed by the Iranian Air Force.

And today's operation is the end of the Iranian Air Force, and the Iranian fighters in the hangar will definitely be wiped out!

The Iranians can smuggle parts and have various channels to maintain their fleet. However, they must have the most basic fighter jets. If the fighter jets are destroyed, they will not be able to assemble the complete fighter jets if they have spare parts.

This time there were no personnel on the ground to guide them, because those hangars were very obvious. Their task was to throw the Paveway laser-guided bombs they brought on the hangars according to the prior arrangement, and completely kill all the aircraft in the hangars!

The laser illuminator under the belly of the F-20 fighter has been aimed at the top of the hangar. The reflected laser beam is received by the laser seeker installed on the head of the bomb. The Pavement Road laser-guided bomb is ready.

Then, the pilot pressed the launch button on the control lever, and a heavy Pavement Road laser-guided bomb under the wing broke away from the launch stand and flew downward.

While the Pavement Road bomb was flying, the seeker was already continuously receiving laser signals. These laser signals were transformed into electrical signals inside the bomb, controlling the deflection of the rudder surface at the rear of the bomb. Although the bomb was also modified from an ordinary zìyóu falling bomb, it Accurately fly to the target along the guidance of the laser beam.

With huge kinetic energy, the 908kg bomb, even without the explosion of the warhead, can smash the roof of the hangar with the force of falling from the sky alone, and after the internal explosive explodes, it is enough to blow up a 15-kilogram bomb on the ground. The crater is one meter wide and ten meters deep.

Dealing with concrete fortifications is no problem at all.

After the bomb fell accurately from the sky to the top of the hangar, it triggered the fuze to ignite, and a violent explosion occurred, directly lifting all the ceilings, and then fell heavily. ruins.

With just one bomb, the four hangars connected together were all reduced to ruins, and the fighter planes below were completely destroyed.
