Chapter 1101 Phantom 4000 and f-15 contest
The situation ahead was very tense. Just two minutes ago, the battle situation was reported. The 460th Armored Brigade had been eliminated. This was not only a problem of the disappearance of one of their armored brigade numbers, but also seriously undermined their confidence. The Armored Brigade was one of their most elite troops.
Now, the 217th Armored Brigade and the Golani Infantry Brigade that continue to stay in Gaza City are already very dangerous. They are no longer facing the Hamas armed personnel holding AK rifles and carrying bazooka. They are facing the same well-equipped armored troops!
An Iraqi armored division, just early this morning, flew quickly from the Sinai Peninsula and arrived in Gaza at an incredible speed. Their troops had already controlled the entire Gaza area. At this time, it was less than an hour before Iraq issued a statement!
Outside Gaza City, they encountered an Israeli armored brigade. They originally wanted to use this armored brigade to resist for a while and their reinforcements could arrive. However, what no one expected was that in a few minutes of emergency, the 460th Armored Brigade disappeared.
"The Gaza region is just an armored force in Iraq. However, in the Jordan and the Golan Heights, there are nearly ten Arab armored forces. Now, if we want to mobilize troops from other places to support the Gaza region, it is absolutely impossible. We don't know whether the Iraqi operation in Gaza is a feint or a main attack." Defense Minister Moses said.
This is also a question that others are thinking. Now, the Arab army is eyeing each other. What is their combat intention?
"What about our Air Force? Why is our most powerful air force still not acting?" Netanyahu continued to ask.
These guys are all cowards. Now, the situation is so critical that they are still hesitating here!
"Until now, Iraq has not declared war on us. They are just under the banner of helping maintain peace. Moreover, they have set up a no-fly zone over Gaza. Our radar has discovered Iraqi Air Force fighter jets on the Sinai side. We must calm down now." Moses continued.
If in the past, those who had such ideas would never enter the top leaders of Israel. However, the current situation has forced them to be cautious. If it were just the Gaza Strip, they already had ideas. In the Gaza region, Arabs occupy the majority. In order to maintain the purity of the Jews and avoid being attacked by Hamas, some people have even proposed to withdraw the Jewish settlements there.
In later generations, without any peace plan, Israel chose to withdraw its troops from Gaza for this purpose. They used the siege to completely trap the Gaza area. Even the vehicles and ships of UN rescue cannot enter the Gaza area. A steel bar or a bag of cement cannot enter the Gaza area because it may be used by Hamas!
To become Israel’s defense minister, you have to be tough. People like Moses today are not worthy of being a decision-maker at the top of Israel!
"We must deal with it by force!" At this moment, Rabin walked in and said.
Although the situation is not optimistic now, they must take a tough stance. Israel can stand here with its own fist. As long as it shows its cowardice slightly, it will cause disastrous consequences.
Even if Israel wants to withdraw its troops, it will take the initiative to withdraw its troops and must not be forced away by the other party like this.
Even if you lack confidence, you must have enough confidence!
In Tynov Air Base, four F-15 fighter jets that had been on standby immediately slid from the runway and took off. At the same time, ten AH-64 armed helicopters also began to prepare to enter the Gaza area and prepare to attack Iraq's armored forces.
An early warning aircraft that came from the north began to fly in central Israel to monitor the situation here.
The 431 Armored Brigade in the Jericho region in the central region began to march towards the Gaza region.
"Note that four Israeli aircraft are flying towards the Gaza region and preparing for war." An Ericsson God-Eye Early Warning Plane of the Iraqi Air Force flying on the Sinai Peninsula issued an early warning order to the Phantom 4000 Squadron hovering over the Sinai Peninsula.
At the same time, at the Useli Air Force Base in the rear, the other Phantom 4000 fighter jets are also on standby at any time. The pilots are sitting in the cockpit. If the situation escalates, they will take off urgently and carry out combat missions at any time!
Instead, they envied the first batch of 15 fighter jets that took off, and had the opportunity to fight the Jews first.
"Prepare for medium-range bombs." Anders, the squadron leader of the 15th Fighter Squadron, calmly ordered in the radio that their fighter squadron began to be modified three years ago. Before that, they had been using the MiG-23 fighter jets. There was no war at that time, so their squadron has not yet shot down a single fighter jet.
Now, the opportunity has finally come. The pilot of the 15th Fighter Squadron is calmer at this time. In air combat, a clear mind is the most important thing.
The four Phantom 4000 radars were not turned on. They were receiving data from the early warning aircraft and displayed on the screen in front of them. The four fighter jets from the other party were still eighty kilometers away from them.
Air combat is originally about fast fighting, while Israel's territory is narrow and Gaza is even smaller, so it leaves them with less reaction time.
This is a standard head-on attack.
When the two sides were close to sixty kilometers, the radars of each fighter jets were turned on, and at the same time, they quickly provided launch data for their missiles. Then, at a distance of 40 kilometers, an active sky flash missile mounted under the wings was launched.
At the same time, Israeli fighter jets each launched a Sparrow air-to-air missile.
Now, the US F-15 and F-16 fighter jets have begun to be equipped with advanced AIM-120A missiles, and the Israeli Air Force has also ordered a batch from the United States. However, since the missiles produced by the United States are first used to replace their own air force, the missiles ordered by Israel will not arrive as early as next year.
David Eagles have always relied on their technical advantages and skilled technology to defeat their opponents, but now, they are sadly aware that they are facing technical disadvantages.
In fact, they already know that Iraq is equipped with active radar missiles, but knowing it does not necessarily mean there is a countermeasure. Until they themselves do not have such missiles, it is always a disadvantage.
When the missile flew to a distance of fifteen kilometers, the Jews made a difficult choice. The two fighters made high overload actions to avoid incoming missiles, while the other two fighters continued to guide their missiles, hoping to hit the opponent's plane before they were shot down.
Their tactics are simple and heroic, and this is their choice!
The F-15 fighter jets that did not do any overload maneuver are very good targets. The two active sky flash missiles that flew in skillfully blew them into a fireball. The two sparrow missiles they sacrificed their lives to guide also achieved certain results. One of them caught up with their target before the carrier was hit and injured a Phantom 4000 fighter jet that was doing high overload maneuver dodge.
The wreckage of the two F-15 fighter jets that were shot down fell into the Gaza area. The other two F-15 fighter jets successfully got rid of the flying sky flash missiles.
It is undeniable that the quality of Israeli pilots is very high. They successfully dodged the missile when they almost entered the inescapable zone of the Sky Flash missile. This cannot be described by luck alone.
Two of our own F-15 fighter jets were shot down in the first round, while only one of the other was injured. This record made the remaining two pilots very angry.
They are the masters of the sky!
The distance between the two sides was approaching rapidly, and they had already seen each other's shadow from their field of vision.
The middle-range air battle just now did not gain an advantage. In close range, we must defeat them!
This time, they dispatched heavy air-control fighters to compete with the Iraqis for air supremacy. Although they lost in the middle distance, they would never be at a disadvantage in the close distance.
Because, under its wings, it is equipped with Israel's latest air-to-air missile, the Strange Snake 4!
When the Israelis first saw the MiG-29 and R-73 missiles from the Paris Air Show, they realized that their troubles were coming.
Now the MiG-29 is well known to the world. However, during the Cold War years, the first time in the Western world saw the MiG-29 close-up was in July 1986, when the Kubinka Air Corps sent six MiG-29s to Finland for demonstration flights. In 1989, the MiG-29 crashed unexpectedly while attending the Paris Air Show for the second time. The pilot escaped with the K-36D ejection seat in the air close to zero. This incident made the MiG-29 even more famous.
The Israelis realized that when the MiG-29 and the new R-73 missiles appeared in the surrounding Arab countries, their troubles came. In previous wars, the Air Force defeated Syria with the AIM-9L and the Snake 3 missiles, because the Rattlesnake and Snake missiles were much more advanced than Syria's old Soviet air-to-air missiles.
The performance of this newly emerging R-73 not only exceeds the AIM-9M, but also exceeds the AIM-9M. Israel must have tools that match it. After the merger of East and West Germany, Israel is even more familiar with the performance of this missile.
Therefore, they made great efforts to develop and finally made their advanced fighting bullets, Strange Snake 4, serve one year earlier than the history of later generations! (To be continued.
