Chapter 144 The second downed F-117 (for the end of the month)

Oaks' plane was at the front of the formation, behind him, and the wingman had already discovered that the situation was not good. Oaks' plane was shot down by the air defense missile below!

This is a total trap!

The wingman Michael immediately changed his course, terminated the bombing mission and flew into safe airspace, which was the most important thing.

I originally thought that all airspace could be allowed to travel, but I didn’t expect that they were shot down by missiles just above Baghdad?

Michael has no time to think about various problems. The most important thing is to terminate the bombing mission and return safely.

As a backup machine, the distance between the No. 3 was still relatively long. After receiving the message, it immediately began to return.

The people in the underground command hall were watching the two light spots. They had already achieved the record of shooting down one aircraft, but should they let the other two escape?

Data analysis has come out, and there is a problem in the computer processing program of the meter wave radar network, resulting in insufficient guidance accuracy. Sam-10's radar has detected the error. They will make improvements in the future so that this system can exert powerful enough power. However, now, they can no longer launch air defense missiles and shoot down. Ten missiles were fired, only one hit.

"Take off Phantom 4000 immediately and guide it to the range of sight to fight under the command of the radar network." Kusai personally issued an order.

In the dark night, it is very difficult to discover the Nighthawk fighter that is almost integrated with the night sky, but this is also the only way they can use.

Two Phantom 4000s opened up their after-force and carried out emergency takeoff and air combat.

Originally, the MiG-25 was more suitable for performing interception operations, but the MiG-25's electronic equipment was behind. Although its radar was powerful, it was not afraid of electromagnetic interference. However, it was "unable to see clearly", so it would not play much role in dealing with stealth aircraft. Moreover, the missiles it carries were not as advanced as the Phantom 4000.

Under the current circumstances, the Phantom 4000 cannot use a mid-range sky flash missile, and can only use a close-range R-73 missile. This missile was a technology from the Soviet Union in the mid-1980s and is relatively advanced. Although the Phantom 4000's radar cannot lock the target, it can use an infrared seeker to lock the target. Or, it can also use a machine gun to kill the opponent at a closer distance.

In the dark night sky, the visibility was very low, and Omar was fully focused and carefully searching the surrounding airspace.

The sound of ground guides came from the headphones from time to time. In Iraq, frequency hopping radio has long been popularized and has strong anti-electromagnetic interference capabilities. Everything arranged by Kusai is aimed at future wars.

Everything seemed to be back in the 1950s and 1960s. At that time, air combat mode, although there were missiles, it still had to rely on machine guns. Pilots needed to visually discover targets and attack, including during the day and at night.

After getting used to using radar locking and then launching missiles with such non-contact attack mode, Iraqi pilots still maintain basic flight training, for example, by visually discovering targets.

They already know that there is a certain error in ground radar guidance. This error is about 500 meters to 1 kilometer. In this case, it is very difficult for them to rely on ground guidance alone, because under the current conditions, the distance of visual search will not exceed 500 meters!

The people on the ground were worried. They clearly saw two light spots representing their own side and one light spot representing the enemy, and they almost overlapped together. However, why did their own pilot still report that they did not find the target?

Another enemy plane has slipped away. If this plane is released, it will be very imperfect.

President Kusai's expression has already explained everything, a posture that must be beaten down.

Kusai is very concerned because he knows what it means to shoot such stealth aircraft down.

With their advanced technology, Americans think they can fly freely in other people's sky. Here, they will be touched and bleeding!

In this way, the Americans' actions will converge. Before finding out how Iraq discovered and shot down their planes, they would never dare to send any stealth aircraft to invade Iraq's airspace. Iraq cannot be on guard all the time. Moreover, their system is actually not perfect. If the Americans' target this time was Basra, then they would definitely not have any discoveries.

One shot down, and it can be said that it was a coincidence that two shot down were definitely secret weapons.

More importantly, the shot down plane will definitely land in Iraq. Obtaining the wreckage of this type of plane will also be of great help to Iraq.

In the new century, it is the century of stealth aircraft. No matter how many methods there are to fight against stealth aircraft, it is not the ultimate solution. It is the kingly way to have stealth aircraft.

Iraq can obtain many technical secrets from the wreckage of F-117 in the United States.

It would be even better if I could get a complete f-117, but Kusai knew that it was definitely a dream.

Michael was very nervous. Just now, he could almost see the two planes flying by not far away from him. Fortunately, he didn't notice him.

Nighthawks are completely in the dark, not just radar stealth, but vision, because the color of the surface skin can blend into the night sky and is not so easy to detect. On the contrary, if you fly during the day, it will be an excellent target.

With the cover of the night sky, it was safe to fly away from Iraq's airspace.

As the plane was about to leave the central area of ​​the meter wave radar, the more outward the accuracy would be, until it would disappear into the dark night sky.

Could it be that the robbers just let the robbers slip away?

The people on the ground were anxious, and the pilots in the sky were still trying to find a way. Omar had searched for the third time, but still found nothing. He knew that if this continued, he could only let the other party go.

Suddenly, he thought of another method, turned on the fire control system, and then activated the seeker of an R-73 missile.

Radar stealth, optical stealth, infrared stealth. As the first stealth aircraft, the f-117 has done a good job in all aspects. For example, as the largest source of thermal radiation on the aircraft, the f-117 also adopts additional cooling. It has an auxiliary intake valve on the front, and some air conditioning is bypassed by the engine and the exhaust for cooling. The rear fuselage has a narrow-slit engine nozzle in the shape of a "platypus" mouth. The lower lip is longer and there are heat-proof tiles used by the space shuttle. There are 11 vertical deflectors in the nozzle. The lower edge has a slope plate raised upwards, which weakens the radar reflection behind the tail and also blocks infrared radiation.

Through full mixing with cold air, the exhaust temperature is very low, which greatly improves the infrared stealth effect.

However, this invisibility method only reduces the downward radiation of infrared rays, and there is still a large radiation source on it.

The R-73 missile carried by the Phantom 4000 is an excellent close-range combat missile. The seeker adopts an infrared search guidance system equipped with a deep cooling photodetector. It has high sensitivity and the distance to intercept the target, and ensures the missile's all-round attack capability.

The r-73 has excellent head-on attack capability, and can feel the temperature of the aircraft's head due to friction with the air, not to mention the infrared radiation source of the f-117, and it is now above the f-117.

In actual combat, there is a prerequisite for this, which is to guide your own fighter jets to a relatively close distance from the F-117.

Now, everything is satisfied.

Omar looked at the multi-function monitor in front, and finally, the graphics that made him excited were displayed. After rotating the r-73 seeker flexibly for a week, he intercepted the target!

The seeker of the r-73 missile is synchronized with the helmet sight. Therefore, after the missile is activated, as Omar searches the surrounding airspace, the seeker of the missile is also synchronized with the search.

Although Omar's eyes still did not find the target, R-73's eyes were brighter than his, and he had already found the target!

The rest is simple, launching missiles!

Like the unlucky Oaks, Michael was hit by a missile behind without any perception.

When a violent explosion came from behind, Michael immediately realized that he was unfortunately hit.

Without any hesitation, Michael immediately pulled the ejection handle between his legs, and the canopy cover on the top was bounced away. Then, the rocket on the seat ignited, and Michael successfully ejected the cockpit.

The f-117 is not a bubble cockpit like other US fighter jets, so it is not a way to use a cover gun to punch four holes and then open the seat, with the top of it covered with skin, so the canopy must be thrown off first before it can be ejected.

Seeing his plane turning into a fireball, Michael was still very nervous even though he successfully escaped. He had to start running non-stop when he was about to land! He needed to travel through Iraq and reach Kuwait, and with the help of American agents, he could return to the United States.

Michael didn't know that he was lucky compared to Oaks.

Oaks is still working hard to operate the plane.

It’s not that Oaks doesn’t want to escape, but because his ejection seat has malfunctioned.

The shiny red light on the front dashboard was shocking, but when Ox pulled the ejection handle and was about to get out of here, he realized that there was no reaction?
