At sea, a slightly larger tugboat approached this sea area. This is not a professional salvage ship, but an ordinary tugboat.

But, underwater, everything is different.

Another batch of frogmen went into the water, and unlike those fighting frogmen, each of them dragged a large pontoon.

Now, the buoys are filled with water. They dragged the buoys and slowly lowered them to the position where the Blackbird reconnaissance plane was. More than a dozen buoys were all firmly fixed, and then another air pipe dragged by the body was plugged into the air inlet of the buoy.

When they were ready, they sent a signal to the top.

After receiving the signal, a high-power air pump on the tugboat started working.

A sheet of air bubbles under the water, the original water in the buoy began to be discharged.

At the same time, they felt a slight vibration from around the Blackbird. Those buoys tied around the Blackbird reconnaissance plane were originally filled with water, but now they were replaced with air, increasing their buoyancy. Under the influence of this, the Blackbird reconnaissance plane has already started to move around, and it doesn't want to wait forever in the dark seabed, it wants to surface!

The vibration became more and more violent, and finally, the black bird's body shook and broke away from the bottom of the water.

The black bird has been lifted from the bottom of the water!

This method of salvage does not require the use of a salvage ship. It only needs to use frogmen to use buoys to increase the buoyancy of the blackbird, so that the blackbird can leave the seabed under the influence of buoyancy. It seems that the plan proposed by the Iraqi side is still Really doable!

However, they did not allow the blackbird to surface. When it rose to 20 meters from the sea surface, several buoys were refilled with water, and the blackbird stayed in the water quietly, like a submarine.

Then, the tugboat started, dragging a steel cable to pull the stress-bearing part of the Blackbird. This aircraft weighing dozens of tons was dragged forward by the tugboat just like this under the seabed.

Chapter 652 Israel Starts a Sneak Attack

American reconnaissance satellites have been searching the Caspian Sea area. Finally, they discovered that a large rescue and salvage ship of the Soviet Union is sailing westward at full speed in Turkmenistan’s Gasankuri Naval Base, which can make them so anxious. Then, there must be something important. This matter can only be to salvage the blackbird!

After the US CIA obtained the pictures of the reconnaissance satellite, they knew that the last time was coming. Did the US secrets be obtained by the Soviets in this way?

Casey reported the news to President Reagan. After listening to the report in detail, President Reagan pondered for a long time, and finally made a choice: pay close attention to the other party's salvage, and when necessary, take off the fighter planes from the Turkish base to find the other party's possible salvage. Destroyed his own reconnaissance plane!

The plane crashing into the sea is the most troublesome thing. If you are lucky enough, you may be unscathed. If the Soviets get a good Blackbird, then these high-priced titanium alloy reconnaissance planes in the United States are probably the most expensive. Have to retire early.

They didn't know that, in fact, when the rescue and salvage ship was dispatched, the black bird on the bottom of the sea was already lifted up by the buoy and dragged by several steel cables, like a ghost in the sea, slowly approaching the Soviet Union's waters .

Since everything is underwater, they don't attract attention.

At the same time, the Iraqi pre-warning plane has already taken off from the air base and headed for the northwestern region of Iran. Qusay has predicted that if the Americans want to prevent the Soviets from salvaging, the only feasible way is to send fighter planes from Turkey. Surrounding the mountains in northern Iran, flying into the Caspian Sea at ultra-low altitude under the cover of the mountains, bombing and sinking the Blackbird reconnaissance plane that was salvaged out of the water.

From the bottom of his heart, Qusay hopes that the United States and the Soviet Union will have a deeper bond this time. If the two sides fight for this matter, it will be good for Iraq.However, in that case, the Blackbird would be destroyed. Qusay couldn't bear to let such a thing like a work of art be destroyed in the hands of the Americans.

Therefore, Qusay gave the salvaged Soviets an idea to let them quietly bring the Blackbird back to the base without being discovered, and here, a good show was put on.

Reagan, since you want to stand firmly on the side of the Jews and treat Iraq unfairly, then let you face another big crisis after you are re-elected!

The hunting police plane flew over the border and entered the Kurdistan Province. Since several provinces in the north have not obeyed the zhōngyāngzhèngfǔ until now, the police plane tried not to step into the borders of other provinces, so as not to be caught by possible Iranian Although the possibility of a ground missile attack is very small, they dare not take any risks due to the preciousness of the early warning aircraft.

On the side of the hunter's early warning plane, there are two Mirage 4000s, guarding the side of the early warning plane, escorting the early warning plane.

... Ramat-David Air Force Base in the north of Israel.

This is an air force base near the port city of Haifa in Israel. The pilots of the Israel Air Force finally received the long-awaited combat order.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, they were going to take off from this base to carry out a arduous mission. When they flew over the target, it was when the opponent was having dinner and the defense was most lax.Moreover, at that time, the Iraqi early warning plane and the patrolling fighter plane that had been patrolling over Jordan also underwent a handover, and there would be a gap in the airspace.

The Israeli Air Force is also very depressed, because the Iraqi anti-war plane flying over Jordan can overlook the whole of Israel, and the flight of the Israeli Air Force cannot escape the eyes of the opponent, but Israel just There is no way to say, because the other party did not violate its own airspace.

Of course, if it was a war, the Israeli fighter planes would unceremoniously launch missiles across the border and shoot down the opponent, but it is not the time yet.

Fortunately, the other party only has this early warning plane. Since the initial dangerous stage has passed, the other party's early warning plane does not take off frequently. Otherwise, it will arrive soon after flying every day. service life.

Iraq's surveillance of Israel has been reduced to a minimum.

At the Ramat Air Force Base, the ground crew is making final preparations. This time, two F-15 squadrons and one F-16 squadron are departing. Facing the possible interception of the Iraqi Air Force, they need more Air superiority fighters, but the invading fleet cannot be too large, otherwise, it will be the outbreak of an all-out war.

The eight F-69 fighters of the 106th "Hammer" combat squadron and the 15th "red è" fighter squadron and the four F-133 fighter squadrons of the 16rd "Black Panther" fighter squadron are the main formations for this mission Among them, the F-133 fighters of the 16rd Fighter Squadron are equipped with two Paveway laser-guided bombs, mainly for ground attack. Their targets are very symbolic departments such as the zhèngfǔ building in downtown Baghdad, Iraq. The 69th Fighter Squadron, all mounted four medium-range Sparrow missiles and two Sidewinder close-range combat bombs, for possible air combat, while the 106th Fighter Squadron, in addition to mounting the Israeli-made strange snake In addition to the -3 fighting bombs, two GBU-15 TV-guided bombs are also mounted.Their fighter squadron has assumed more missions of ground attack.

In the last year, the two-seat F-15 was upgraded to carry the GBU-15 TV-guided bomb, a TV screen was added to the rear weapons systems officer's panel and the underwing pylons were changed.

Although the Israeli attack team suffered heavy losses in the last air strike on the Iraqi nuclear reactor, it must be because of Mossad's ineffectiveness that leaked the news of the attack. This time, they implemented the strictest secrecy measures to ensure that This attack can be carried out smoothly.

The code name of this operation is Hell's Fury, and the bomb thrown on Qusay's head is the flame of anger in color!

Time passed by every minute, and the pilot who performed the mission, after checking his mission for the last time, began to walk towards his plane.

On the runway, the first is the 69th Fighter Squadron, which is in the air, and they are at the forefront of the formation.

After the Hammer Fighter Squadron took off in formation, the Red Fighter Squadron and Black Panther Fighter Squadron that followed took off in turn.

At this time, the E-2 Hawkeye early warning plane that had already been on the west side of the Golan Heights was staring firmly at the Qunait area in Syria, where everything was the same as usual, and no abnormalities were found.

The electronic warfare plane modified by Boeing 707 has been following the side of the E-2 pre-warning plane, ready to cover its own attack formation.

Syria and Israel can be said to be feuds, especially in the battle in the Bekaa Valley, where the grudges between the two sides deepened. Syria has deployed police radars on the east side of the Golan Heights. However, because the exercises of the Arab countries are now held in the south , and the tense situation is mainly in the south. On the border of Syria, the activities of the Israeli air force are almost invisible. Therefore, the Syrian air defense force has been somewhat lax.

They only turned on a police radar. Since it was past four o'clock, it was the most relaxing time in the afternoon, and waiting for dinner was boring.

Suddenly, the radar operator saw the screen turn into snowflakes.

Damn it, he swore.

This happened intermittently after the radar antenna failed in a high wind a few months ago, occasionally turning the screen into snowflakes and having to climb up the high antenna to repair it.

He turned off the radar, waited a few minutes, and climbed up to the antenna to repair it.

He didn't know that this time it wasn't a problem with the radar antenna at all, it was caused by interference.

Israel's electronic jammers successfully interfered with Syria's long-range radar. Since there was no war between the two sides, and it is still in peacetime, they did not expect that Israel actually invaded their airspace.

The twelve fighters listed above passed through the Golan Heights and immediately entered the ultra-low altitude. Syria's radar defense had loopholes and there was no early warning aircraft in the sky. Therefore, they followed the pre-planned course of action, Entered the Su Weida area.

With the fists of sè column and the powerful air force, they started their fierce blow to revenge against Iraq!

Western Iraq, Syrian desert.

Several tracked vehicles with strange shapes are slowly unfolding. Two of them are launching vehicles carrying four missiles. There is a semi-elliptical device at the front end. At first, only one is more common, just a long thing sticking out, with some spikes at the top, that is the antenna.

This is an Iraqi anti-aircraft missile company, and, judging from the style, it is not the Iraqi Sam-6 missile, that kind of missile launch vehicle, each with only three missiles, and there is no semi-elliptical device at the front , There are four missiles on each vehicle. There is only one kind of air defense system of this kind, and that is the Soviet Sam-11 missile!

In the agreement with the Soviet Union, Iraq has obtained the Sam-6 missile, which is more advanced than the Sam-11, and now, their system has been improved by Iraq and has been integrated into their C3I system. Weapons, this time, they need to conduct an experiment in the Syrian desert to verify the power of the combination with C3I.

Since this time it was just a test, originally there were six missile launch vehicles in the missile company, but now only two were called in, and the missile transport vehicles did not follow.

Therefore, the pre-warning aircraft that has been cruising near Jordan was also temporarily called back here for half an hour, and a target aircraft will take off later. , passed to the missile company, and the missile company quickly launched an attack.
