"Immediately inform the Soviet side of the news that the Yankees are going to sink their salvage ship." Qu Sai said: "Let our planes also be prepared and ready to add fire at any time."

In order to salvage the blackbird in good condition and prevent the Americans from destroying it, Qusay has put a lot of thought into it, building plank roads in the open and keeping the warehouse in secret.

Although the Caspian Sea is an inland sea, space is still undefended. The American reconnaissance satellites must have been paying attention to this area. They naturally know that the blackbird has already begun to salvage.

The salvage of the blackbird has been carried out secretly under the plan of Qusay. The blackbird did not come out of the water, but was dragged back to the Soviet base in Turkmenistan before being researched.At the same time, a blatant salvage ship began to operate in the nearby waters, confusing the Americans and making them think that it was salvaged there.

In this way, it will naturally attract the attention of the Americans. In order not to lose their secrets, they may launch air strikes to destroy the Blackbird. In the past, the American forces could not penetrate the Caspian Sea, but now, the northwest of Iran The Ministry is already undefended. In those mountainous areas, even if the Iranian Tomcat fighters are cruising non-stop, there are still air defense loopholes, let alone those armed in the northwest. American aircraft, ultra-low altitude is It can be entered, so they will definitely attack from that direction.

When the water was salvaged, the U.S. plane arrived just in time to destroy the Blackbird and prevent the leakage of secrets. At the same time, it confronted the Soviet Air Force. No matter how far the confrontation was in the end, it would be beneficial to Iraq. .

Because the ultimate enemy of the United States is not Iraq, but the Soviet Union. If the Soviet Union holds back the United States and has no time to distract and support Israel, then it is good for Iraq.

Therefore, it is best to let a conflict break out on the Caspian Sea. This time it is the mistake of the United States. Going so far to the Soviet Union’s back garden swimming pool to release missiles is absolutely unacceptable to the Soviet Union. If the Soviet Union is restrained enough, it does not attack the other party. Aircraft, then, Iraq needs to do a favor in the back and put the cold guns of the United States.

Qusay had notified the Soviet Union of this plan, and Gorbachev agreed to the plan, so that the blackbird could be successfully salvaged.It's just that he didn't expect that Qu Sai would have an extra mind.

After receiving the news from Iraq, the Azerbaijan Air Force Base in the west of the Caspian Sea scrambled to take off four MiG-29s to salvage the sea.

Although the MiG-29 of the Soviet Union has entered a stable mass production period, it is still not enough for the huge Soviet Air Force equipment, and the replacement can only be carried out gradually. The junction of the East and West camps is now equipped with a MiG-29 squadron.

After Iraq and the Soviet Union planned this operation, the MiG-29 squadron has been on standby. Two R-27 missiles and four R-73 missiles were mounted on the wings.

As the red flares lifted off, the MiG-29 squadron took off. They didn't need guidance, and they didn't need to look for American planes for the time being. They needed to quickly rush to the airspace to salvage ships and protect the ships there, because the Americans must be heading towards went there.

At the same time, the U.S. planes flying at ultra-low altitudes were also rapidly approaching. Since they were flying at low altitudes in the mountains, they did not turn on the radar in order to conceal their whereabouts. Therefore, they did not know that the Soviet planes had already taken off. intercept them.

The calm Caspian Sea is about to become unsettled again.

At this time, it was almost [-] o'clock in the afternoon, and when the attack formation arrived, it was around [-]:[-]. At that time, the TV-guided Maverick missiles could still be used. Fast return to the mountains.

With the help of advanced inertial navigation equipment, American fighter planes fly according to the pre-planned route. They will fly into the Caspian Sea on the coast closest to the salvage site, launch an attack at the same time, and then withdraw.

Little did they know that someone was already waiting for them there.

Chapter 657 Those who violate Iraqi airspace will only end in perdition!

Before departure, although Amos was full of confidence, he still felt that this attack would be full of variables. Now, the situation has become almost unacceptable to him.

The Hammer Squadron, which originally provided them with air superiority missions, was shot down in the initial attack, causing them to lose their main air superiority fighters. The other two fighters have now gone to deal with the two fighters from the south. The target was threatened, but, in the north, four more targets appeared.

The Iraqis reacted so quickly!After the Iran-Iraq War, the Iraqi air force has truly become stronger, and it is no longer the original army that reacted backward and moved slowly. They actually took off fighter planes and intercepted them in such a short period of time?

All this is because of the C3I system, the command has been flattened. For example, the personnel on the early warning plane can mobilize the interceptor plane at the H-3 base, which greatly speeds up the response speed.

Although the Red Fighter Squadron is also an F-15 fighter, they are equipped with GBU-15 TV-guided bombs and Snake-3 missiles for close combat, but not medium-range bombs. Therefore, although Amos On the radar, the four intercepting planes approaching rapidly were found, but they couldn't come up with emergency measures.

The two F-15 fighters that were tasked with air superiority were entangled and could not come back, and the rest of their fighters did not carry medium-range bombs.

As a last resort, Amos ordered the last two F-15 fighters of his own squadron to drop the bombs they were carrying and go to the north to intercept.

At the same time, he also issued an order to change the target of the air strike, drop the bomb to Ramadi, and then return in formation!

The two F-15 fighters who dropped the bombs suddenly became relaxed. Although they only had two combat bombs, they were not afraid at all. They climbed, pulled up, and intercepted the four Iraqi fighters that came to attack their side!

The Tianyan-20 pre-alert plane spotted the formation that was continuing to fly at low altitude, pulled up two more planes, flew in the direction of the F-20 fleet, and immediately notified the F-[-] formation.

Although the F-20 fighter also uses the American-made radar and fire control system, it is a light fighter after all. In terms of fire control and maneuverability, it is not as good as the dedicated heavy-duty air-control fighter F-15, but At this time, the advantages of the two sides have been reversed, because although the F-15 fighters can see far, their arms are not so long, because they do not have medium-range bombs.

For these two fighter planes, they hope that after they fly over, they can disperse the fleet that came to intercept them.

Of course, this is just a naive idea.

The F-20 squadron that flew over quickly, after receiving the data from the early warning plane, learned that there were two invading planes flying in their direction. Is it their own airspace?Come whenever you want, intercept if you want to intercept?Let them know that anyone who violates Iraqi airspace can only end in death!

The distance between the two sides was rapidly approaching, and the squadron leader of the F-20 squadron had ordered to turn on the radar, preparing to launch the missile he was carrying.

Although at this distance, the opponent may also launch missiles, but they will never bow their heads in their own sky. They will use the missiles they carry to shoot down the opponent's plane!

What's more, under their wings, the latest sky flash missiles imported from the United Kingdom are mounted.

The United Kingdom, as the birthplace of the earliest radar in the world, still has great strength in electronic technology. This sky flash missile is modified from the American AIM-7-E2, but the seeker is replaced by a British self-propelled missile. The developed monopulse semi-active radar seeker is the first third-generation radar-guided air-to-air missile, which has great advantages in key performances such as anti-interference ability, guidance precision, and probability of killing low-altitude targets.

This kind of missile is even more advanced than the Sparrow missile carried by the F-15, not to mention that these two F-15s have not yet carried medium-range missiles.

"Attention, prepare to launch missiles." The F-20 squadron began preparations after flying to a distance of 35 kilometers.

At this time, the opponent might also launch missiles, and whoever launches first will have the upper hand.

After hearing the sound of being locked by the radar in the earphones, the pilots of the F-15 fighter jets began to make skilled evasive actions. They have undergone many trainings, and they are already very relaxed about this kind of action.

As long as they break into the line of sight, they can use the close-range combat bombs they carry to kill the opponent's fighter planes. Although they don't want to fight bayonets and want to solve the battle at a long distance, they are absolutely confident and capable Complete this task.

In the air, this is only a matter of tens of seconds.

However, they do not know that in the process of confronting the Iranian Tomcat fighter jets, the Iraqi Air Force has figured out a way to deal with this tactic.

The F-20 fighter jets quickly divided into two groups, and scanned the incoming enemy planes from two directions. Then, the enemy plane disappeared from the radar in one direction and appeared on the radar in the other direction. Moreover, They can pass the information of the target to each other through the data link.

The battle in the sky is going on intensely. The two batches of interceptor planes that came urgently from Iraq were respectively entangled by Israeli planes. In the low altitude, the remaining fighter planes were still advancing. They were very tenacious. It seems to be a paramecium that does not know pain.

Amos is still moving forward. After changing the mission, they are only 2 minutes away from the target.

The Black Panther Squadron behind has three F-16 fighters left. They need to use their own laser-guided bombs to hit the backup target severely. The Iraqi military camp on the outskirts of Ramadi, where there are Iraqi An infantry brigade.

Their attack this time is like the United States bombing the Japanese mainland in World War II. Although it is very dangerous and has a lot of casualties, it has a great effect on improving the morale of one's own side. Unfortunately, Baghdad cannot be bombed.

In the sky, the Mirage 4000 and the F-15 were the first to come into contact. Since the F-15 has been trying to lock the Mirage 4000, and the Mirage 4000 performed a serpentine maneuver in the process of getting rid of the lock, the distance between the two sides is getting closer. Reyer didn't get the chance to fire a medium-range bomb, and the two sides entered the line of sight.

The pilots listed above and the Iraqi pilots are all very good pilots, and the fighter planes they fly are the most outstanding heavy-duty air superiority fighters of this era. At low altitude, from a two-plane formation to a single plane.But there has been no winner.

It was the F-20 fleet that achieved the results first. They took advantage of their medium-range bombs and fired two salvos to strike the Israeli fighters in the first round. The sky flash missiles are theirs. For the first shot, although it was claimed to have a high first hit rate, in order to pursue better results, they still chose two salvos.

As a result, one F-15 was shot down, the other was damaged, and finally made an emergency landing in the Syrian desert.

Now, it's time to kill the enemy planes that continue to fly and take on the bombing mission. The pilot of the F-20 fighter turned on the afterburner, and chased after the enemy planes flying at ultra-low altitude.

In close-range air combat, the performance of a fighter plane is very important, and one of the most important indicators is the instantaneous circling angular velocity, which means whether the plane is turning fast or slow.The bigger this is, the faster the nose can be rushed towards the opponent and launch its own off-axis combat missile. Therefore, the large off-axis combat missile hovers at a high speed, so that it can be kept in the shortest time. Get a chance to fire missiles.

And this circling angular velocity is related to the lift characteristics of the aircraft. The important thing is that the wing load is low, and the maximum available lift coefficient of the wings.The aircraft with a large delta wing structure has the lowest wing load. Therefore, the most typical of the third-generation aircraft is the Mirage 2000. Its instantaneous hovering ability is quite outstanding, but it is affected by the M53 engine, and it is different from the Mirage 4000. The structure is similar to Mirage 2000, so the instantaneous hovering ability is also very good.

However, as the most outstanding air superiority fighter of the U.S. Air Force, the F-15 has excellent performance in various indicators. Coupled with excellent pilots, the fight between the two sides was inextricably carried out.

In the end, Reyer got the chance to launch the missile after a high-g scissor roll.

Flames flickered under the wings, and a magic air-to-air missile flew towards the F-15 fighter.

What Reyel didn't expect was that this missile only injured the opponent, but didn't shoot it down.He couldn't care less about adding another missile, because his wingman was in a crisis and was being followed by the opponent, which was very dangerous.
