The pilots of the F-15 fighter jets found those missiles visually, but it does not mean that they were able to shoot down those missiles, because the radar reflection area of ​​those cruise missiles is small, and the infrared signature is also small, causing the Sparrow missiles and Sidewinder missiles to be shot down. Unable to lock onto target.

A wingman tried to fire a Sidewinder missile, but missed the target.

Seeing this situation, the leader of the F-15 finally made a decision: use the M61A 120mm 'Green' cannon inside the root fairing of the right wing!

When airplanes were first invented, machine guns were used as air combat weapons. With the advancement of technology, after World War II, the age of missiles entered. There were no cannons on new-style airplanes at all. For example, the famous American second-generation aircraft F- 4. However, practice has proved that this solution is flawed. Missiles are not omnipotent. For example, now that missiles cannot intercept targets, then it is necessary to use aerial guns to solve the opponent.

M61A1 is an aircraft gun widely used on third-generation fighter jets in the United States. It is mainly used for air combat within a distance of 600 meters to make up for the launch dead zone of fighting missiles.There are 940 rounds of ammunition, and the shooting speed is 4000 rounds per minute and 6000 rounds per minute, which can be set by the pilot.

The lead pilot of the F-15 took the first attack action. He flew above the missiles, then pushed the stick suddenly, lowered his head, and then, the fire flashed inside the right wing, and a series of bullets rained down on the missiles below. Pour over.

A sound similar to a heavy-duty concrete drilling machine came to the pilot's ears. The barrel of this 20mm Gatling 6-barreled gun was rotating and raining bullets at the same time, forming a dense mist of bullets. Fly to the missile ahead.

Before entering the sky above the target, the Red Bird III missile did not know that it had been attacked, and it was still flying forward according to the scheduled route. As long as a powerful shell is hit, the body of the missile will not be able to withstand the blow. Unfortunately, a Red Bird III missile was hit by the fuel tank in the rain of bullets, and the entire missile exploded into a fireball.

It worked!Using machine guns to deal with these missiles is indeed possible!The pilot was greatly encouraged, however, the panel on the front of the cockpit showed that the ammunition was exhausted!

This kind of machine gun has a high firing speed and a large area of ​​bullet fog, which can increase the chance of hitting the target, but there are also disadvantages, that is, it is too much of a waste of ammunition!6000 rounds per minute, all the ammunition will be fired in less than 10 seconds. Just now I was too busy shooting myself, but I didn't notice that the shooting process of this kind of aircraft gun is very short.

The other pilots also imitated the lead plane, flying over the missiles, and then, like a dragonfly on the water, swooped down and attacked.

Although the average annual flying time of the Israeli air force is almost the longest in the world, they rarely train to use aircraft guns. Not everyone can hit the target. After they shot down two more missiles, they lost Opportunity, because those cruise missiles have already flown into the air above the land!

It will become very difficult to shoot down these targets on land. All kinds of buildings will be the natural enemy of the aircraft. As long as they are a little careless, they will crash into the buildings. You can't swoop and sweep like you did on the sea just now, because the bottom is their land, and there are their people on it. If the 20mm shells are poured on the ground, as long as someone is swept, they will definitely be blown to pieces. .

Also, they lost track of those missiles because there were too many buildings on the ground.

However, those missiles must be going to attack Dimona!

After receiving the news of the second batch of missiles attacking, the air defense forces of the Israeli column made full preparations immediately. They knew that there was very little time left for them to attack, and this kind of missiles flew too low !Except that the Hawker anti-aircraft missile turned its head and aimed at the sky on the west side, the Israeli column urgently dispatched self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery and portable anti-aircraft missiles to guard here.

The density of anti-aircraft weapons here has increased several times in just half an hour!

Erst is still directing the rescue work, especially the dome building, which is the most important reactor in Israel. Since it was required to have the ability to resist aerial bombs when it was built, the reactor still lasted until Now, no collapse.

This building must be reinforced immediately!Erst commanded the workers, set up a shelf, and increased the strength of the reactor, hoping to temporarily overcome the crisis and then resume rest.

"Professor, the enemy's attack is coming again, please dodge it." A soldier said.

"No, it's dangerous here, and it must be reinforced quickly, otherwise it may not be able to withstand the next blow!" Erst said, "I must stay here, this is my task.".

"But my task is to protect your safety, professor, you must leave immediately!" The soldier said, holding Erst by his big hand, and before he could react, two more people came over and carried him outside on a car.

The second batch of Red Bird III missiles came from a long distance. When they came, the first batch of attacks had ended for half an hour. Since they were spotted on the sea, their attack , received the strongest interception.

Although the target was not found at the beginning, when the Red Bird [-] began to climb, they were exposed to the radar on the ground, as well as the furious Israeli air defense forces that were waiting for them.

Hawk missiles, portable stinger missiles, anti-aircraft artillery, automatic rifles, all firepower are shooting into the sky.

However, at this time, the Red Bird III missile has entered the final stage of the snake-like maneuver. The design of the Red Bird III is largely based on the tactics of the C801, and when the anti-ship missile finally attacks the warship, it will encounter To attack the opponent's short-range weapons, especially in later generations, with the emergence of systems such as Phalanx, it is necessary for the missile to make an irregular trajectory during the final flight.

This attack of the Red Bird [-] also adopted a snake-like maneuver at the end. They didn't know that there were so many weapons firing at them on the ground. They only knew that they faithfully carried out every instruction until they hit the target. , or until shot down.

The Stinger anti-aircraft missile encountered the same difficulty as the F-15 fighter plane. Because the opponent's infrared signature was too weak, it could not lock the target. Some even locked the target and fired the missile, but there was no result.

The anti-aircraft artillery with a radar guidance system, taking advantage of its high shooting speed, achieved some results, and coupled with the fast-rising Hawk missile, it fired a shot before the opponent flew out of its shooting window.

In the sky, there were only a dozen intercepted cruise missiles, and only twenty intercepted by fighter planes. There were still more than 20 missiles that fell down.

Today is the day when the Dimona nuclear base was destroyed. This time, the missiles came down and scattered to all aspects of the nuclear base. Those less important factories also suffered blows to varying degrees.

The nuclear reactor and the important Machon 2 suffered another blow, and each was hit by five cruise missiles. The Machon 2 base was completely destroyed, and there was no value for rescue. However, the solid shell of the nuclear reactor survived the impact again. Although, It can also be seen from the outside that the thick cement layer is fragmented, with many gaps cracked, and the steel plate inside seems to have become fragile, especially when several warheads almost passed through the steel plate, and then the flames that ignited, will Steel plates were burned to scrap iron.

"Quickly, put out those fires and strengthen the top." Just after being hit by those missiles, Erst walked in here again. He saw the situation at the scene, was very worried, and directed the rescue of these people.

Other nuclear experts from Israel also rushed here and participated in the rescue together.

Sometimes, some inconspicuous little things, some unconscious little things, will cause major historical changes, and this time is like this.

The air defense police had been disarmed, no more missile attacks were found, and the Dimona nuclear base was completely changed. Everyone believed that this attack was over.

Even Qusay thought the operation was over. A MiG-3 reconnaissance aircraft at the H-25 Air Force Base was about to conduct cross-border reconnaissance to evaluate the effect of the bombing.

However, in the sky, there is another Red Bird III missile flying alone. This is the missile that encountered a launch tube failure during launch. It was dragged back and fired a while later. As a result, it was delayed by 10 minutes, precisely because it fell behind, and the single target of the Red Bird III missile was not obvious, and was not found by Israel.

Most of the base has been destroyed, but the important nuclear reactor has not yet collapsed. Almost all the personnel in Israel are busy here. They need to prop up the crumbling main structure outside, otherwise, maybe Well, a gust of wind can blow this building down and bury all the internal equipment.

Even the air defense force participated in the rescue work. Now, the enemy's attack is over, which is something they have almost determined.

The outdated Red Bird No. [-] missile was flying slowly. Along the way, it was not detected by any enemy. Along the coastline, it entered the territory of Israel, and then slowly flew to Dimona.

Along the way, only a few civilians witnessed the flying object, but none of them paid attention.

It wasn't until the Red Bird No. [-] entered the final attack process and flew from an ultra-low altitude that it was discovered by the Israeli ground air defense forces.

At this time, the high-power guidance radar of the fire control missile has just been shut down for more than ten minutes, and it has to be warmed up before it can work normally.

They could almost tell with their eyes that the missile was swooping down towards the nuclear reactor.

Calls rang out, hoping that those who stayed inside the circular building and were responsible for strengthening the building would evacuate quickly. There were soldiers, rescuers, and important Israeli nuclear forces headed by Ernest. expert!

Chapter 639 The Last Missile Is For You

I don't know about the last Red Bird III missile. Although I arrived late, I have gained the most!

Like the previous missiles, when it dived down from the air, its speed exceeded the speed of sound, causing a sonic boom. Although the sonic boom was not very strong because of the small size of the missile, it was better to stay in the dome. Those people in the building felt a burst of fear from their hearts, that is the fear that comes from the heart before death comes, it has nothing to do with courage, everyone has it.

The hard head of the semi-armour-piercing warhead at the front of Red Bird 1 collided with the shell of Machon 1 again, but this time, its luck was obviously much better than those of the previous missiles!Because the concrete on the surface of Machon [-] was completely crisp, it didn't take too much effort, and started to chew on the [-] cm thick steel plate. In normal times, this layer of steel plate is actually unable to chew, but those missiles in front, All of them were burned on the outside, and then they were extinguished by high-pressure water guns. The internal structure of the steel plate changed in fits and starts. Before the steel plate recovered, it suffered another fatal blow!

In this head-to-head contest, finally, Red Bird No. [-]'s head has the upper hand!

The people inside Machon1 seemed to feel that time had stopped at this time. They only heard the sound of the sonic boom that made them tremble, and then there was the huge impact sound. With the impact, they clearly felt that the entire circular The roof trembled downwards, and then, there was the sound of two metals colliding with each other, making the teeth weak. Although the time was very short, they seemed as long as a century.

They all forgot to escape, or rather, they had no time to escape.

The Red Bird III missile successfully tore through the steel plate, and then it penetrated the roof and entered the spacious interior.

All the people looked at the thing falling in with some despair, and then, there was a light that could almost blind people in front of them. Accompanied by huge shock waves and heat, the pressure inside Machon 1 suddenly increased several times.

The warhead of Red Bird No. 200 did not use connecting rod warheads and other things that could shatter and splash to cause maximum damage to personnel. However, more than 1 kilograms of explosives of Red Bird No. [-] exploded. In the space, the pressure here increased several times in an instant. Accompanied by a huge shock wave, all the personnel felt like a leaf in a storm, being lifted up and put down heavily.

No one could survive this storm, even if they didn't fall to their death, they had already been crushed by the huge pressure so that their internal organs bleed and lost their lives.

This is not the final result. Originally, this building could withstand a certain degree of internal explosion, in order to prevent dangerous situations.But now, because of multiple missile attacks, the outer shell is no longer strong, otherwise they would not be so anxious to come in and strengthen it, and now, the explosion occurred inside, the pressure rose sharply, and the outer building that has withstood several blows , and finally couldn't support it anymore, as if the last straw that broke the camel's back, the whole building collapsed below.

The people inside were rested in peace. They were sent to the sky first, and then buried again. This operation in Iraq can be regarded as a beginning and an end.

Those who were buried included important Israeli nuclear experts including Erst, and a large number of elite technicians of the entire nuclear weapons project!
