However, what he can be sure of is that the opponent is not the pride of the Iranian Air Force. If the opponent has this kind of aircraft, the F-14 fighter jet will have launched missiles at this distance long ago. Now, the opponent has not made any movement , Moreover, he didn't actually do any evasive flight, which proved that he didn't find himself at all.

Most likely, this is a bomber of the Iranian Air Force?

"The attack can be targeted." The ground personnel issued an order. At this time, they had already found out that there was no activity of their own fighter planes or civilian airliners in that airspace.

"Yes." Reyel replied, and then pressed two of the buttons on the right row.

A beam of unique radar pulse signals flew towards the opposite plane. I am afraid that at this time, those negligent pilots will know that they are locked, right?

Reyel looked at the signal on his radar screen, maybe the next moment, the other party would start maneuvering and evasive flight.

However, under the attack of the Mirage 4000's radar and the Super Matra missile, the opponent has no possibility of escape.

The fire control system has completed all the preparations. In the next moment, as long as Reyel presses the button on the steering column, the missile will emit green smoke from the belly of the aircraft, fly to the opposite side, and beat the opponent down.

However, Reyel stopped, he didn't press the button, because, he felt, something was wrong.

If it is really an Iranian plane, it is impossible to find yourself until now, right?The opponent's flight is too smooth, not like a fighter jet, but a bomber?Reyel thought about it in his mind, but he couldn't find a reason that could be confirmed.

It is very likely that the other party is not an Iranian military plane!The IFF device shows that the opponent is not our own aircraft, but if it is an Iranian fighter, it is definitely not so stupid!Then, the remaining possibility is that this is a lost airliner!

If a civilian airliner is destroyed by mistake, even if the airliner is Iranian, there will be big trouble.

However, civil aviation airliners are all guided by air traffic controllers, and there are very few deviations from the flight. So, is there a problem?

However, in comparison, the risk of shooting down a commercial airliner is greater, and Reyer decided to take a risk himself.If the opponent is really an Iranian fighter, he still doesn't lock himself in now, which makes Reyel feel a little impossible.

"Skyfalcon reported to the eagle that the opponent's plane didn't respond, so I asked for a closer observation, and asked for a closer observation." Reyer said.

"You can observe closely." The ground replied.

After getting the answer, Reyer continued to fly forward with the plane, which was dangerous, because although the Iranian Air Force consumed a lot of precious fighter planes and air-to-air missiles as the war progressed, it really When encountering an opponent, for example, a Tomcat fighter with only short-range missiles will come, and he will fight with the opponent. In close combat, all Iraqi fighters are not opponents, but the Mirage 4000 is an exception.

Reyer is full of confidence, even if it is a MiG 25 that is suitable for high altitude and high speed, he will exert its greatest power, let alone this kind of heavy air superiority fighter that is already very agile. Reyer firmly believes that if it comes It is the fighter of the Iranians, so it is time to add to his record.

Turn on the afterburner!accelerate!The moment he broke through the sound barrier, Reyel felt a sound burst from outside the cockpit.

In the sky over the Persian Gulf, a delta-winged fighter quickly slashed across the sky and flew towards the intended target.

The radar was adjusted to TWS mode by Reyer again, and the data of distance, altitude, and speed were quickly refreshed. Reyer followed the direction guided by the radar and searched the surrounding airspace visually.

In modern air combat, beyond-visual-range air combat has already entered, and the application of medium-range air-to-air missiles can shoot down the opponent before seeing the target.

However, this leads to a very serious problem: target recognition.

Those light spots on the radar, are they the enemy or their own fighter planes?The identification method is the IFF device. When one side finds the target, the IFO device will send out an inquiry signal. If the other party's transponder answers correctly, it is a friendly aircraft. If it does not answer, it is an enemy aircraft. Therefore, there are Many mistakes, for example, if the opponent's transponder fails, then it will be misjudged as an enemy plane.

Moreover, civil aviation airliners will not be equipped with IFF devices.Although the routes of civil aviation airliners are fixed, and the flights are all controlled by ground personnel, accidents will still happen.

Therefore, Reyel was very careful, he didn't launch the missile recklessly, but carefully observed closely.

Finally, at the azimuth indicated by the radar, Reyer saw two white smoke bands in the distant sky, which were left by the jumbo jet at the cruising altitude.

You are the one!Reyel's altitude at this time was 3000 meters, he pushed the control lever and closed the throttle.

The Phantom 4000 swooped down from high altitude and pursued towards the direction of the smoke belt.

Within 1 minute, Mirage 4000 found the source of the white smoke: it was a large aircraft, sailing leisurely in the sky, with a wide body and an engine under each wing. It is an area where wake turbulence is easy to form, and two white belts are drawn behind it in the sky. On the fuselage, you can see the row of portholes.

Looking at the words sprayed on the fuselage again, Reyel felt that he was too lucky this time, or in other words, the people on this airliner were too lucky, they were almost killed by him in the sky.

"Skyfalcon reports Eagle, this is a passenger plane." Reyel said in the radio, "The visual model is the A300 of Iran Air."

Later, an order from the ground personnel came from the radio: "This passenger plane has deviated, and its destination is Dubai. Guide it to the correct course."

"Received by Sky Falcon." This cruise became a guide for a lost airliner.

Reyel pushed the gas pedal again, accelerated, and approached the large passenger plane. At the same time, he switched the radio to the public channel.

The Iranian passengers in the passenger plane were looking at the scenery outside the window, when suddenly, a plane appeared in their sight.

By Allah, what is that?The passenger by the window watched the fighter and hissed.

However, when they saw the Iraqi flag sprayed on the vertical tail of the opponent's plane, they suddenly became nervous. That plane was a fighter plane of the Iraqi Air Force. What did they want to do to them?

Reyel gently swayed the control stick left and right, and the Phantom 4000 swayed its wings left and right following his operation. He hoped to use this flight action to remind the two pilots.

"Iranian airliner, you have deviated, please return to the correct course." Reyer said in English on the public channel.

Although they are fighter pilots, they have all been trained to help civilian airliners return to the route, so Reyer is very proficient in following the procedures.

The Airbus A300 passenger plane is the first mainline passenger plane put into operation by Airbus Corporation. It adopts many advanced technologies. Therefore, the number of flight personnel is reduced, the flight engineer is canceled, and only two pilots are retained.

The captain sat on the right side of the cockpit, and the pilot sat on the left side. The two were still flying the plane according to the compass, but they had already started to have some doubts in their hearts.

According to the usual flight, it should have appeared above the land now, why is there still an ocean below?

At this time, the captain glanced out the porthole and saw the fighter plane shaking its wings.

That's an Iraqi plane!

The pilot panicked, what are the Iraqi fighter planes doing?

After all, the captain has more flying experience. This Iraqi fighter plane will not be harmful to them. Otherwise, it will not be such a trouble at all. There will be absolutely no attack on a civil airliner.

Why are Iranians so stupid!Did they even have a broken radio?Reyel called several times on the radio, but did not hear the other party answer.

"What does he want?" the pilot asked.

"Turn the radio to the public channel, we want to protest to this Iraqi plane, he should not be here to interfere with the flight of our civil airliner." The captain said.

When the pilot looked down, he saw that he had made a serious mistake: ten minutes after takeoff, he accidentally touched the knob of the radio and tuned the radio to a frequency that was not used at all. No wonder the earphones were very quiet during this time.

Seeing that the captain didn't pay attention, he adjusted the knob to the public channel.

Then, the voice of the Iraqi pilot came from the headset: "Iranian airliner, you have deviated, please return to the correct course."

Chapters 5 and [-] divert public attention

In the United States, the smoke of gunpowder is intensifying at this time.

The news that the U.S. government actually cooperated with terrorists to deliver weapons to the shameful Iran was a blockbuster that completely damaged the prestige of the Reagan government, and it was even more serious than Carter's slow response to the embassy incident.

Because, the United States will never cooperate with terrorists!The United States has absolutely no reason to send weapons to Iran, which has exceeded the bottom line of the American people.

The mínzhǔ party in opposition seized this opportunity and publicized that the image of Reagan zhèngfǔ in the hearts of the people is plummeting, which will seriously affect Reagan's next presidential election.

"Who can tell me why this is!" Reagan, who has always been very humorous, and as an actor, President Reagan couldn't control his inner anger, and began to roar: "It was just sending weapons to Iran in a series , They were careless and have nothing to do with us, why is it now our responsibility!"
