At this time, the fighter jet had already flown over Abadan, and four gleaming auxiliary fuel tanks fell from the belly of the aircraft.
"Power on the missile, activate the seeker, and prepare to launch the medium-range bomb." Hamad's calm command calmed the last wingman pilot Amy, who was fighting for the first time.
There are four bright spots on the radar screen, which means that the opponent has four fighters, at least one of which is a Tomcat, and there are four on our own side. Therefore, each fighter only needs to aim at one target, which is completely assigned by the lead plane. The wingman does not need to turn on the radar at all, he only needs to launch the Matra 530 missile mounted under the wing.
Due to the previous experience, Hamad did not order two salvos. Although each plane carried four medium-range missiles, those were all money.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer, and even Hamad, who has been fighting for a long time, feels his heart beat a little faster. That is a tomcat!
Hamad also knows that the Tomcat is a powerful fighter, especially the Phoenix missile equipped by the opponent, which can kill all of his fighters at a long distance, but now that he has contacted it, he cannot escape , because behind him is Abadan!
Suddenly, Hamad felt something was wrong. If it was a Tomcat, then the other party must have found himself. Why didn't they do maneuvering flight, why didn't they launch air-to-air missiles that were farther than the medium-range missiles they carried? If there is no phoenix, and the sparrow missile is about to enter the range, why is there no unique high-frequency pulse wave sound from the opponent's radar lock on the radar warning receiver of the other side?
There must be more than these four on the other side, they are flying in dense formation!
Because they were confused by the opponent's tactics last time, fortunately, the lead plane Adnan made the right choice immediately and reassigned targets to them.
This kind of trick will not work if you play it again. Hamad said on the radio: "Attention, the opponent is in a dense formation, there must be more than these four, everyone pay attention."
As soon as he finished speaking, the four bright spots on the radar screen suddenly changed to eight, as if he had a clone technique.
Boss, what a cow!Amy was full of admiration in her heart. Although it was one against two, it shouldn't make much difference just by flipping the switch a few times and firing a few medium-range bullets.
However, the next moment, he was completely stunned, seeing that the eight bright spots that had been turned into just now were suddenly divided into two again, turning into sixteen!
On the radar screen, bright spots are almost everywhere.
The Persians are in a dense formation, but this formation is a dense formation of four machines!
Lieutenant General Hashemian still has courage!The commander-in-chief of this air strike, the commander of the F-14 Tomcat fighter squadron, Lieutenant Ziaz, led the air strike formation, getting closer and closer to Abadan.
In the front is the F-14 four-aircraft formation, which took away the air supremacy from the Iraqi fighter jets. As long as the Iraqi planes are driven away, the air strike squadron behind can carry out the bombing mission.
Following behind were two squadrons of F-4 fighter jets and one squadron of F-5 fighter jets. They all maintained a dense formation flight, and the underside of the wings was full of bombs.
Dense formation, 30 meters front and back, ten meters left and right, and only five meters up and down. In this case, the opponent's fighter jets could not find that it was a formation at all, but a bright spot.
This is also dancing with death, as long as you don't pay attention to it, for a fast-flying fighter, if you don't pay attention to it, it will be a tragedy of plane crash and death. Moreover, the fighter behind is full of bombs, and the handling performance is even worse .
However, the Iranian air force is all trained by the American method. They have long developed a tough style, and they even compete with the Israeli Air Force.
It's not just a dense formation. In order to conceal their whereabouts, they fly at ultra-low altitudes. In this case, it is strange that they can be spotted by the Iraqis, because they know that there are only a few radars in Abadan. Less than a hundred kilometers.
The only thing that worried them was the fighter jets cruising over Abadan. However, the Soviet-made fighter jets lacked the ability to look down and shoot down. It would be strange to be able to spot aircraft flying at ultra-low altitudes.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that the Iraqi Mirage F1 could completely accomplish this task, and the pulse Doppler function of the Sinora IV radar could completely detect them from the echoes from the ground.
On Ziaz's radar screen, several bright spots appeared, which were Iraqi planes. He was very surprised that these Iraqi planes did not maneuver at all after receiving their own radar signals, and were still heading towards them fly.
Iraqis who are not afraid of death, wait for your blood to splash in the sky!Ziaz immediately ordered the formation to disperse, ready to launch the Sparrow air-to-air missiles he carried.
It was less than [-] kilometers away from Abadan, and the bombing formation behind began to make final adjustments to the bombing route.
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!

Chapter 177 Data Link Advantage
Chapter 177 Data Link Advantage——
"Enemy attack, alert, attention, this is not a drill." At the Basra Airport in the rear, at this moment, it is already in a tense state before the battle.
According to the urgent information from the front, the 115 Phantom Fighter Squadron, which was in charge of the cruise mission, encountered a large Iranian fleet, and the situation was critical.
What is even more dangerous is Abadan's safety.The huge oil refinery, as long as it hits a bomb, it will be reduced to ruins in the fire.
The first to take off were the four Phantom F11s of the 1th Fighter Squadron. The squadron leader Adnan was ordered to go to the United States to modify the F-20s in advance, and Hamad was promoted to the squadron leader of the 115th Fighter Squadron. The original wingman pilot Phoebe served.
Knowing that their brothers had encountered the Iranian fleet, they were very anxious and immediately took off.
Since the Southern Military Region has increased its combat readiness level, their squadron has always been fully fueled and air superior. The Matra 530 missile and Magic air-to-air missile have the same configuration as the 115 squadron.
The third Phantom F1 squadron, because it is being maintained in the hangar, cannot participate in the launch operation.
Immediately behind the Mirage F1 are the MiG-23s of the two squadrons led by Arslan. Their fighter jets are also air superiority mounts, but they all carry short-range R-60 air-to-air missiles. four.
Since the performance of the medium-range R-23 is too backward, since the Phantom F1 entered the southern military region, all the missions of over-the-horizon air combat have been completed by the Phantom F1, and the MiG-23 is only a supporting role in air combat. Although Arslan was dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do. However, after the F-20 was equipped with troops, the MiG-23 would be eliminated as a dedicated ground attack aircraft.
At this time, it was only two hours before Zhang Feng's special plane landed at Basra Airport in Iraq.
In other words, Arslan also got off the plane and rushed to his own fighter plane, ready to take off to fight. This young guy is still excited to fight against the Iranians.
And Zhang Feng, in the combat command hall, began to get busy.
Just as 1981 was about to pass, the Iranian counterattack began from their most dominant sky.
At this time, the most dangerous thing is the 115 fighter squadron in the sky.
Even the F-14 radar, which claims to be able to guide multiple missiles to attack multiple targets at the same time, can only attack one target at the same time in actual combat. If there are more advanced electronic equipment in the future, it can attack multiple targets at the same time. Hama Germany's squadron may be able to persist for a while, but now they are facing enemy planes that are several times their own, and no one is happy, except for Arslan, who has always wanted to fight.
However, they have no choice.
"Target the enemy plane at the front." Hamad still assigned combat targets.
On the radar screen, the opponent's fighter jets are all bright spots one by one. It is impossible to tell which one is the air superiority fighter and which one is performing the ground bombing mission. The only way is to launch a few more shots before the opponent arrives. missiles.
What they targeted happened to be the frontmost F-14 Tomcat fighter squadron.
Just as they were locking onto each other, their own plane also heard the sound of being locked.
Amy felt nervous when she heard the sound of being locked. In the sky, being locked by the other party meant that she might be eliminated by the other party.
Hamad didn't show any expression, he calmly ordered: "Launch!"
Immediately, under the wing, a missile, the engine burst into flames, successfully disengaged from the launch pad, and began the process of accelerating flight.
Having been locked on by the enemy's radar more than once, Ziaz ordered: "The two-aircraft formation should disperse, move away, and prepare to launch the Sparrow missile."
Immediately, the four-aircraft formation dispersed into two two-aircraft formations, rolling to both sides at the same time, and the variable-sweep wing was automatically adjusted to the minimum sweep angle by the computer.
Rolling is a very effective way to get rid of the opponent's lock. According to the principle of pulse Doppler, anything perpendicular to the radar beam and the flight direction will be filtered out by the radar. The screen disappears, causing the other party to temporarily lose their own information.Even if it is only a second lost, the missile that has been launched will become a missile without a target, and will eventually self-destruct.
The powerful F-14 Tomcats were showing off their stunts. It had been a long time since they showed off their strength in front of the Iraqi Air Force.
After being locked just now, the sparrow missiles could be launched, but they were also locked by the opponent, so the first thing they did was to get rid of the opponent's lock, and then destroy the opponent.
Otherwise, it would be like two people standing on the ground and throwing bricks at each other at the same time. That kind of play is too boring.
