Chapter 655 Phantom 4000 vs. F-15
On the calm sea, a large salvage boat arrived dozens of kilometers by the Caspian Sea in northern Iran. Here, they stopped, broke down and started salvage operations. (The full text novel is updated the fastest)
This boat will never come for no reason. Although the sea is calm, the situation in this world has become the most turbulent.
The United States is unwilling to confront the Soviet Union directly. The direct military conflict between the two superpowers will trigger a world war at any time. However, the United States cannot give up its black bird. If the black bird is obtained by the Soviet Union, then the secrets of the United States will be lost.
Therefore, when the reconnaissance satellite once again passed over the Caspian Sea, it was almost possible to find that the other party was about to finish salvage, the United States finally made up its mind: destroy the reconnaissance aircraft and not allow the Soviet Union to obtain it!
From a Turkish air base, the United States took off two F-15s and two F-16 fighter jets, covered the F-16 by the F-15, carried the Maverick missiles, ready to attack.
This time it was a total surprise attack. They needed to enter the Caspian Sea from the complex mountains in the Iranian Plateau. This attack also required great attention. They wanted to destroy the black birds, but they could not hit the ships salvaged next to them. Therefore, they could only get close to them and use TV-guided calf missiles to attack.
Their attacks are much less difficult than Israel, because they need to fly over the mountains in northern Iran, those Iranian governments that are not obedient to the present and are in a state of almost autonomous status, and they no longer have air force, and the air defense forces are probably in a state of disintegration.
Moreover, the mountains will hide their whereabouts, and no one will find them until they reach the Caspian Sea. Even if they discover them, they will not doubt that they are from the US Air Force flying from Turkey.
The battle was quick and the calf missile was launched. The black bird was completely smashed into pieces, and then retreated quickly. Before the Iranian government, Iraq, and the Soviet Union responded, they completed the mission of destroying their own reconnaissance aircraft. Unexpectedly, the Americans would deal with their own fighter aircraft. But they still had to be so troublesome!
Even the CIA, the world's most powerful intelligence agency, did not discover that this salvage was a trap.
In Kurdistan, Iraq's Sky Eye 2 early warning aircraft has been paying attention to the sky in northern Iran. Now, salvage work is steadily unfolding, and the trap has been dug, waiting for the Americans to take the bait.
Just as we were waiting for the invading American planes to the north, a battle had begun in western Iraq.
The radar alarm receiver in the headphones kept ringing. Luo Neng had tried his best and could not get rid of the missile. Then he saw the white smoke coming up and hit the engine at the tail.
Suddenly, all the alarm lights in front of the plane lit up. He turned off his right hair, hoping to continue flying with the engine on the left.
However, he failed. Because, then, the second missile also flew up, turning his fighter plane into a fireball in the air.
Before losing his intuition, Luo Neng remembered a mistake he made. Just now, he should immediately issue an order to terminate the mission and return.
The abominable Iraqis must be at their own top leaders and their spies. Unexpectedly, it is not enough to have the traitor Vannu in Dimona. At the top leaders, there are also Arab spies! They are scum among the Jews!
Unfortunately, Luo Neng no longer had the chance to curse these guys. The flames behind him came, and he then lost consciousness.
The two launch vehicles, because they had obtained accurate information from each other in advance, suddenly started the plane at a relatively close distance and locked the other party, so they took the lead and successfully drove two planes, but then they had no chance.
Because the opponent flew too fast, they started the radar at a distance of fifteen kilometers and launched missiles at a distance of ten kilometers. After the missile hit the target, other fighter jets had already flew above them.
Then, Amos Yadlin, the squadron leader of the Red Fighter Squadron, was furious and used a Gbu-15 TV guided bomb he mounted and dropped it onto the deployed radar vehicle in the visible missile position.
Based on their experience, as long as the radar vehicle is killed, the missile company will lose its combat capability. Although it is faster in the sky, they also see clearly that it is their old opponent, the Sam-6 missile.
This time they were sneak attacked, and every second was very precious. In this case, only the most experienced Amos was ready to drop the bomb and took action. The rest of the planes had already flown over the other side before they were ready.
Because, the total time is less than thirty seconds!
Seeing the radar car on the TV screen being destroyed, Amos breathed a sigh of relief. Now they were safe. Although they had been discovered and the captain of the formation was killed, Amos, who had taken over the command, decided that I had originally planned to carry out. Even if I could not bomb Baghdad, I would throw Israel's anger down in Ramadi in western Baghdad!
The fighter planes behind flew by with a whistling roar.
But, they miscalculated this time.
That is not the Sam-6 missile company. As long as the radar vehicle is destroyed, the entire missile company will lose its combat capability. They are Sam-11 missiles. This kind of missile, every launcher can carry out the mission of guided missiles!
Listening to the bombing of the radar vehicle, the missile company commander was filled with righteous indignation. Without his order, the remaining three missiles flew into the sky.
The combat quality of Iraqi missile forces is also very high. After the first wave of attacks was completed, they were ready for a second launch.
It was just that the fighter's opportunity was fleeting, and they only grabbed the two light spots behind each other.
The missile flew up again. After the F-16 fighter of the Black Panther Fighter Squadron was mounted with a Gem Road laser-guided bomb, the mobility was not good. As a result, it was hit by the missile behind. One was destroyed, and the other was very lucky because the missile company only used the last missile to aim at him. Moreover, after he flew lower, the semi-active radar-guided missile lost its target for various reasons.
Israel's air raid formation was hit by the first wave less than a few dozen kilometers into Iraq's airspace, losing three aircraft, two F-15 air superiority fighters of the Hammer Squadron and one F-16 fighter of the Black Panther Squadron, but their main force still exists and their targets will not be given up!
Since it has been discovered by Iraq's ground air defense fire, Amos, who is the re-acting formation commander, ordered the remaining two F-15 fighters of the Hammer Squadron to climb to a height of 6,000 meters, turn on the radar, monitor the surrounding airspace, and escort the air strike formation. The other two squadrons are still at low altitude, and they must continue to advance and complete the mission.
The pilots were very angry because of the loss of two companions by the two fighters of the Hammer Squadron. At the same time, they turned grief into strength, climbed high, and prepared to face the challenge from the Iraqi Air Force!
The F-15's Apg-63 radar is a full-wave digital pulse Doppler radar with three high, medium and low pulse repetition frequencies. It can have good up-view and down-view detection capabilities for all azimuth angles at the altitude of all radar carriers. It achieves down-view detection with omnidirectional, full height, and no speed coverage gap. Moreover, for fighter-sized targets, the effect distance exceeds 185 kilometers.
After turning on the fire control radar, the two fighters quickly scanned the surrounding airspace. Sure enough, they discovered that two fighters were flying from the south. Judging from the route they were flying, they were definitely here to block themselves. Moreover, the other party was already 150 kilometers away from him, and in a few minutes, they might attack their own formation.
Since they have arrived over Iraq, let's fight! Shay and his wingman Gillard were flying the plane and turning south, preparing to resolve these two threats first.
Since the early warning aircraft is more than 200 kilometers away from them, their airborne radar did not detect Iraq's early warning aircraft. Otherwise, their primary goal of air combat would be to fire the early warning aircraft.
They didn't know that what was flying in was the ace in the Iraqi sky, Reyer and his wingman.
Now, Phantom 4000 has solved the problem of transmission of data links with early warning machines, so they do not need voice guidance. They only rely on the information transmitted from the data link to know the direction of the invasion of the enemy aircraft.
Two of them actually climbed up boldly and flew towards them. Reyer knew that it must be the other party's escort fighter. As long as you kill the other party's escort fighter first, the rest is the lamb that they slaughtered.
Under Reyer's wing, four Super Matra 530 missiles and two Magic Air-to-air missiles were mounted. Although Iraq has imported Sky Flash missiles, because it has just been introduced, the matching work on the Phantom 4000 has not been completed, but it can load the Sparrow's F-20. Because Sky Flash was developed based on the Sparrow, the matching was already done during development. Anyone who can load the Sparrow missile can easily load the Sky Flash missile. Therefore, Sky Flash was temporarily equipped to the F-20 squadron.
The Matra 530 missile cannot be compared with the Sparrow missile. One of the keys is its range.
The range of the Matra 530 missile is only more than 20 kilometers, while the range of the Aim-7f missile mounted by Israeli fighter jets is 40 kilometers.
Therefore, when both sides are head-on air combat, Israel's F-15 fighter jets have an advantage. They can launch missiles first, so they can hit the opponent first. In air combat, the party that launches missiles first must have an advantage.
However, Phantom 4000 has another advantage, which is the early warning aircraft!
