Amos' eyes were full of enthusiasm. His plane had already flown close to the sky above the target. He needed to drop the bomb on the government building in Baghdad!

The GBU-15 TV-guided bomb is dropped at a high altitude and has a range of [-] kilometers. At the current altitude, it can also be dropped at a distance of [-] kilometers.

He is already making the final preparations before the attack. This is a fire-and-forget weapon. As long as he can throw this kind of bomb, his mission will be considered complete, even if he is hit by an Iraqi fighter plane in the next second. Yes, he also died without regret!

Therefore, Amos didn't care about the possible attack at all. He was doing his best to complete the preparations for dropping the bomb, opened the weapon safety, and aimed at the target. Because the sky was a little dark, it took him some time to aim. He passed the iconic building, and then pressed the launch button... At this moment, he felt the body tremble, and he was overjoyed at first, thinking that the bomb was thrown by himself, and then he saw the wing The flame on the right is that he was hit by a missile!

The plane began to become a little shaky.

The F-15 is a very sturdy aircraft. Since the warhead of the magic air-to-air missile is relatively small, and it hit the right wing, not a vital part, the aircraft can continue to fly, but the aerodynamic layout is damaged. , The operation is very laborious.

Amos pressed the launch button again, but there was still no response. He was hit by a missile just now, causing his fire control system to malfunction and unable to drop the bomb.

Oops, something went wrong at a critical moment!

Amos could not stop cursing in his heart, this attack by his own side almost wiped out the entire army, and he was about to succeed, but at this juncture, due to fire control problems, he could not drop bombs!

Since you can't throw bombs, let yourself manipulate it!Amos manipulated the wobbly body, and launched his final attack in the direction of downtown Baghdad.

In downtown Baghdad, an air defense police siren sounded.

Hearing the voice, the citizens were still a little uncomfortable. In their impression, Baghdad was very safe. The Iraqi air force had always been protecting the sky above their heads. Now, only the Iraqi air force threw Bombs, no one has ever thrown bombs over Baghdad!

However, three years ago, they were subjected to repeated air strikes by the Iranian Air Force, and they were used to it. The citizens calmly entered the surrounding underground air defense bunkers.

The sky in Baghdad is very safe, but now, something unexpected happened.

Iraq shot down a plane. However, the plane was not shot down directly, but fell towards the direction of downtown Baghdad, because it was afraid that another strike on the plane would cause the plane to fall prematurely into the city, causing unnecessary damage. so the air defenses had to let the plane fly through their skies in the hope that it would crash into the outskirts of the city.

The early warning plane has already scanned. This fighter plane was hit by a missile, but it did not explode immediately, but crashed out of control. Moreover, according to the analysis of the current trajectory, it should fly over downtown Baghdad and fall into the suburbs. Another attack on this plane may cause even greater consequences.

This has happened in history. A plane in East Germany broke down, and the pilot ejected and parachuted. However, the plane was still flying. This unmanned plane flew all the way over West Germany before crashing into the field inside.

The plane was hit by a missile, and the pilot should have parachuted. From the flight trajectory of this plane, it can be seen that no one is controlling it at all, or the plane has been out of control.

This time, the pre-alarm failed.

Amos began to look around in the darkened night sky with his own eyes. He found that he had lost the target's position and couldn't find the target he needed to attack. Where is the Ministry of National Defense building and zhèngfǔ building?

It is impossible to come back and attack again. Amos knows that he has no second chance. His plane will crash at any time. The two bombs under the wing must not be wasted.

Suddenly, his eyes fixed on a building, and it was you!

With all his strength, he pressed down on the control lever, and under the action of the tail rudder, the nose of the aircraft was downward, and the F-15 fighter, together with the two bombs he was carrying, and the remaining one ton of fuel in the aircraft, headed towards The target that he was aiming at, hit it.

At the last moment, he saw the sign of the cross that appeared in the darkness. Oops, he made a mistake. This is a hospital prohibited by international law from attacking!However, there was no time to change the target at this time, and the next moment, he was surrounded by huge flames.

... Two F-15 fighter planes flew towards the Soviet fighter plane. At the same time, the pilot of the lead plane also found that the targets displayed on the radar were divided into two groups. Two of them went to intercept the two F-16 fighters that were preparing to bomb at low altitude.

This time, if it was a squadron of F-15s, it would be enough. However, Shangfeng was afraid of expanding the scale of the conflict, and for the convenience of the surprise attack, he decided to use two two-aircraft formations. There are too many planes, and it is easy to expose the target. As a result, it is not enough now.

"Prepare to lock the MiG with radar." The lead plane issued an order, and they needed to attract the MiG back.

Unexpectedly, just after he gave the order, he heard the warning sound from the earphone, and he himself had been locked by the MiG machine!

During the Cold War, the aircraft of the United States and the Soviet Union occasionally staged a battle between the two sides. Generally speaking, locking does not mean attacking. It is more of a warning method. I have the ability to shoot you down. If you still If you don't go, then just wait to be beaten!

If this was the airspace of the Soviet Union, then the Soviet planes would shoot them down unceremoniously. However, this is the south bank of the Caspian Sea, which belongs to the airspace of Iran. Although this is a no-regret zone, they still maintain a certain degree of restraint .

Because, the Soviet Union did not want to expand the scale.

"The mission is cancelled, and we are going to return." The lead pilot of the F-15 said. Although he was not reconciled, this place is far away from the Turkish air force base. Things were blown up again, and the Soviets didn't know who did it.

It is different now, since the Soviets have discovered them and locked them, if they are not sensible at this time, it will be a bit embarrassing.

Moreover, such blatant bombing will cause very troublesome diplomatic disputes.

As for the Blackbird that was salvaged, leave it to the agents of the CIA to solve it!

The two F-16s on the sea also received the signal from the radar warning receiver at the same time. They changed their course and prepared to turn around and return from Iranian airspace.

In the Cold War, such situations happened from time to time. The two sides confronted each other on the "high seas", but very few actually launched missiles.

The mission was not completed. The two American F-15 and F-16 formations assembled over the western waters of the Caspian Sea, and then returned from the northern plateau of Iran.

Although the American pilots are rather frustrated, this is also a helpless choice. After the sneak attack was discovered, they can no longer attack blatantly. If this happens, it will cause serious diplomatic disputes.

Four MiG-29s followed the American formation and "escorted" them.The Soviet pilots could see that the Maverick missiles mounted under the opponent's wing were gone. At this time, the sky had already darkened.

After entering Iran's airspace, the MiG-29 was running out of fuel. After escorting the opponent for a while, the MiG-29 began to return to the base.

The early warning plane cruising in the west of Iran has been paying attention to the movement on the sea, watching the two sides go from being at war to living in peace again, the early warning plane sent the information back to the Baghdad command center behind.

When Qusay received the news, he was a little disappointed. This time, he set up a plan to make the United States and the Soviet Union have a little conflict, so that the United States could recognize who was their real enemy.Unexpectedly, both the United States and the Soviet Union were so restrained, and no friction occurred.

"Execute Plan No. [-]," Qusay said.

Plan [-] is a very simple plan. When Plan [-] failed to make progress, Plan [-] was implemented. Now the Iraqi Air Force is helping Tehran zhèngfǔ protect Iran’s airspace. Since American planes have violated Iran’s airspace, then, The Iraqi Air Force has every right and obligation to send them a missile to try.

However, this delivery method is particular. You must follow the opponent, and before the opponent notices, launch a missile at them. No matter whether you hit the target or not, you must retreat immediately. Moreover, the selected airspace must be close to the target. Azerbaijan, the direction of entry and retreat is also north.

Of course, such a goal was formulated entirely in consideration of various circumstances at the time. Your Excellency Qusay attached great importance to the relationship with the Soviet Union and would not make any misunderstandings that would damage the relationship between the two sides.

After the pre-warning plane received the order, an escorting Mirage 4000 immediately began to execute its mission. Under the command of the pre-warning plane, it flew north into the Caspian Sea, and then went southwest from the Caspian Sea to chase the retreating American planes.

Under the command of the early warning plane, everything was very easy. At this time, the American plane had already flown to East Azerbaijan.

When the Mirage 4000 was 25 kilometers away from the opponent, it turned on the fire control radar, and at the same time quickly locked the target, and launched a Matra 530 missile.

After the radar warning receiver of an F-15 fighter plane rang, he was taken aback. He instinctively thought that the four MiG-29s must have followed up again. The Soviets were so cunning that they did not do anything in the Caspian Sea. It's over Iran!

Chapter 6: The Death of Saddam Hussein

The air raid police alarm had already sounded, and the urban area of ​​Baghdad returned to calm again. People came out of the air-raid shelters one after another, just as a rehearsal for an air raid, and their lives were not affected in any way.

The whole city did not panic like it did when it was attacked by the Iranian Air Force in 81. They are very confident in their own army, and even more confident in the army under the leadership of Qusay.

Moreover, it is true that the entire city cannot be seen to have been bombed, except for one place, which has been surrounded by a large number of military police.

Baghdad Hospital, the burning building at the rear.

To be precise, it wasn't bombed, but a fighter plane crashed into this building.

This is a very ordinary building. Ten years ago, this building was redecorated, and it was mainly used for the treatment of important figures in Iraq. Especially nearly two years ago, the security work of this building was relatively strict, especially The citizens whose relatives work here have been notified even more. Their relatives, because they are carrying out important tasks, cannot go home for the time being, and have been working in this building all the time.

Now, this six-storey building was pierced by a fighter plane from the fourth floor. The tip of the nose had been exposed to the side, but the tail could still be seen at the tail. Thick smoke was billowing, and there were large flames inside. From the fourth floor above, the fifth floor has collapsed, and only the sixth floor is still there, as if it could fall down at any time.

The firefighters in Baghdad are spraying there with high-pressure water cannons, hoping to extinguish the flames.
