Chapter 667 Shooting down the enemy plane
The armor-piercing bomb was a process of head-on collision. This time, the warhead of the armor-piercing bomb was a little confused. During the impact, it was lighter and heavier.
In later generations, with the continuous improvement of the Mekava tank, the overlapping structure of fiberboard and rubber was filled with the gap armor. Now, there is nothing between the gap armor of the Mekava tank, just ordinary air, and there can be a fuel tank on the body, and the fuel tank cannot be installed on this turret.
Now, the armor-piercing bombs penetrated the gap armor layer by layer, and finally, as the warhead loosened, it finally entered the interior of the turret!
"Boom!" The mortal explosion appeared quickly in the turret. Before Naco could give an order, he felt a wave of heat, completely surrounding him.
If it is just a 105mm tank gun, it may not be able to penetrate the thick gap armor of the Mercava, but the 125mm advanced armor-piercing bomb can even penetrate the Chobam armor, let alone the Mercava!
One by one, the Merkava tanks were hit and caught fire! The 401 Armored Brigade suffered heavy losses!
Brigade Commander Naco's tank was destroyed, and Naco did not come out alive. Deputy Brigade Commander Alexander took over the power and ordered an emergency retreat!
Retreat! AVDs-1790a 12-cylinder air-cooled diesel engine yelled, and the driver blew the throttle to let the engine run at the highest speed. At the same time, steering is not allowed in this case. They hung in reverse gear one after another, and the Mekava tank drove directly backwards backwards!
Mekawa tank, a masterpiece of Israel's defense industry! I originally planned to make a name for myself with this war, but after encountering the T-72 tank, it failed. Not only was it impossible to destroy the other side, but it also destroyed many of them by the other side! This is understandable. After all, even the US m1 tank cannot get benefits from the T-72 tank, let alone Israeli goods!
If it weren't for the arrival of the call of air support, the 401st Tank Brigade would probably have been wiped out!
The Syrian tank soldiers were proud again and avenged their compatriots who died in the Golan Heights! After defeating the armored forces of Israel's middle-range attack, they continued to advance and headed westward, preparing to intercept the most fierce western-range troops of Israel's attack!
While the ground troops were attacking, the quiet Beca Valley was also waiting for the battle.
In every Middle East war, Israel relies on the advantages of the air force to save the fate of failure. The air force of Arab countries is not as advanced as the Israeli air force in terms of equipment, and it ends up being a big defeat every time.
In this Lebanon war, Israeli ground forces have been fighting, but the reaction of the Israeli Air Force was quite unexpected.
In the first few days, the Israeli Air Force did nothing!
"0,024, note that the target distance is 80 kilometers, prepare to turn on the radar." In the sky, two MiGs were flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters. As soon as they flew over the Beca Valley, the sound of the ground guidance station came.
Two Israeli fighter jets are flying in the sky, probably to cover four A4 attack aircraft in the low altitude. Now, these two fighter jets that took off from airports in Syria are rushing to intercept!
After receiving the sound of the ground guide, the pilot Anas turned on his onboard radar. On the screen, a bright line was spinning. Then, two obvious targets appeared, with a distance of 70 kilometers!
"Prepare the medium-range bomb." Anas said, and at the same time, he tossed various switches on the panel. Under the wings, an R-27 missile was powered on and self-tested, and quickly prepared.
At the same time, Anas is also on high alert. Judging from the radar echo, it should be a light aircraft such as the F-16. This type of fighter does not have the ability to carry medium-range missiles. However, if the judgment is wrong, the one that comes with a heavy aircraft such as the F-15 or the F-4 is carried medium-range Sparrow missiles.
In this way, both sides may conduct medium-range missile counterattacks. If it is an old-fashioned model, the MiG can only guide R-missiles with a range of less than 20 kilometers, which is very dangerous. Now, with the rapid development of Soviet electronic technology and the significant improvement of MiG, the MiG fighter jets introduced by Syria also have the ability to carry R-27 missiles, which gives them a certain ability to give it a try even when facing the Sparrow missile.
Syria is a traditional ally of the Soviet Union. Since the Soviet Union can export advanced fighter jets to Iraq and China, it can also export them to Syria! Syria almost obtained this improved MiG fighter jet at the same time as Iraq.
Israeli Air Force, come here!
The engine's afterburner was opened, and the flames spurted out from the rear of the fighter, and the wings swept back. The MiG fighter accelerated at high altitude to prepare more energy for the upcoming missile launch.
Both sides were still approaching quickly, flying head-on, and soon reached within 30 kilometers.
Launch! Under the MiG wing, a fire stalked and an R-27 missile flew out!
The flat-panel gap radar antenna constantly radiates electromagnetic waves and illuminates the target. On the radar screen of Anas clearly shows its missiles, and has intimate contact with the opponent's fighter jets, and then the target disappears!
Successfully destroyed!
"The 024 missile is off the target and requests to be launched again." At this moment, the sound of the wingman came from Anas's headphones.
"024, stop the attack and return." Anas said.
The radar re-turned to TWS mode, and Anas found that another target had begun to escape and entered Israeli airspace. At this time, if one side tracked it, it would be likely to be ambushed. This time, it had shot down an enemy plane, which was considered a victory and returned to the air. It could not fight in love.
Return! Although the wingman still wants to pursue, even if he enters close combat mode with Israeli fighter jets, he will not be afraid with his own fighter jet performance. However, obeying orders and obeying commands is the basic quality of a soldier. So he still pushes the operating rod, turns the nose, and returns with the long aircraft.
The fighter landed lightly on the Dumar Air Force Base and slid into the hangar. After he stopped, Anas had just come out of the cabin and heard the report of the messenger: "Lieutenant Anas, please go to the tower, the commander is waiting for you."
"Okay, I'll go over immediately." Anas replied, taking off his flight helmet, carrying it, and walking towards the tower with his wingman pilot.
The Israeli Air Force did not attack as much as before, and there must be a conspiracy! Anas also knew that the commander was eager to find him, and must have been unable to wait for him to write a report and ask for an oral statement. However, he did not know that there was still someone waiting for him at the tower. (To be continued.)
