Although the MiG-23 has a variable-sweep wing, it can adjust the sweep angle to the maximum when sprinting quickly at high altitude, and obtain a maximum speed of Mach 2.35, which is faster than the Phantom F1, but that is under the condition of afterburner However, afterburner flight lasts up to 3 minutes, so their formation still adopts subsonic flight without afterburner.
Another aspect is that the MiG-23’s radar is relatively backward and only carries short-range combat bombs, while the Mirage F1 radar is relatively advanced and also carries medium-range air-to-air missiles. If they encounter Iranian fighter jets, they can take the lead Attack.
However, when they rushed to the battlefield, the Iranian bombing formation had already completed the bombing mission and the formation returned.
The surrounding airspace was empty, leaving only traces of bombs on the ground.
I'm late.
In fact, when they were about to reach Abadan, there was news from the rear that the enemy plane had returned. They were just unwilling. An advanced Phantom F1 formation was escaped by the opponent, and it seemed too incompetent!
The Phantom F1 formation circled twice over Abadan, preparing to return.
Suddenly, several light spots appeared on the radar of Phoebe, the lead plane of Phantom F1.
Iranians, just in time!
The second batch of Iranian bombing formations finally arrived. They used the method of low-altitude entry, because low-altitude advances can effectively cover up their actions. The Iraqis' backward radar can only be detected when they are very close. able to spot them.
However, they did not know that the new radar used in the Mirage F1 equipped by the Iraqis already had the ability to look down and shoot down.
Although the first wave of attacks just now was discovered at low altitude, the fighter pilots of the first wave will only mention the new Iraqi fighters, especially the opponents, when they write reports after flying back. The radar of the fighter jet is very advanced, far from the backward Soviet fighter radar, especially it can filter itself out from the clutter on the ground.
Therefore, they thought that they were well concealed.
Phantom F1 Squadron, immediately made preparations to launch medium-range bombs. Since the opponent is coming, they will never let go!
Until receiving the signal locked by the opponent's radar, the Iranian air force formation finally realized that it had been spotted by the opponent.
Since you can't hide your whereabouts, let's fight!
The formation of Tomcat fighter jets immediately turned on the afterburner to climb, ready to take advantage of the height and speed, and then launched the Sparrow air-to-air missiles, and they did not carry the phoenix.
The only remaining Phoenix missiles in Iran were left on the Tomcat fighter jets guarding Tehran and other places.
Due to the radio silence, they did not receive the first batch of formations, and they bombed according to the original plan.
In the sky, the battle is going on fiercely.
Due to the detection of the powerful Iranian Tomcat fighter radar signal, the Phantom F1 formation began to concentrate all its firepower, preparing to deal with the climbing Iranian Tomcat, while the MiG-23 formation behind it moved towards the low-altitude F- 4 and F-5 bombing formation flew.
Since the Iran-Iraq War, air battles of this scale have rarely been seen. Nearly [-] fighter jets gathered in the sky at the same time, and began a life-and-death fight.
Arslan adjusted the wing-sweep angle to the maximum, sprinted quickly, and passed the formation of Mirage F1 fighters in front, and flew towards the slow fighters full of bombs.
Since their radar lacks the ability to look down, it depends on the pilot's own ability whether they can find the opponent and launch an attack after receiving the information provided by the phantom formation.
Ali came out of the underground fortification with a big belly, and he could see that everything around him was horrible, and there were big pits blown out by aerial bombs everywhere. If there were all his armored vehicles here just now, then all It has become a waste product that can only be returned to the furnace.
That's it, there was a Shileka four-barreled anti-aircraft gun, which was still hit, its tracks were blown off, and it lost the ability to walk. Fortunately, it was fine.
Looking at the fighter jets whizzing past in the sky, Ali really wanted to go up and do a big job himself.
Using binoculars, he began to search around vigilantly.
Today, his place has been turned into ruins. If the Iranians want to come up, they are likely to break through their defense line from here.
At that time, those tanks and armored vehicles of his own will fight back fiercely.
Ali was not disappointed. While the battle was fierce in the sky, the battle on the ground was about to start.
After receiving the report of the first wave of attack formations, the first line of defense deployed in Iraq had been blown up, especially a large number of tanks and armored vehicles of the Abadan defenders in Iraq. Hashmian was very happy. Now , It's his second move.
This attack obviously caught the opponent by surprise, which proved that the opponent was not very vigilant. Then, the army should quickly follow up and expand the results of the battle!
Right here, tear open the gap in Abadan's line of defense!In the frontline headquarters, Hashemian's hand suddenly pointed to this area on the map.
PS: Thanks for the speechless tip!
Today is just this chapter during the day, and two chapters will be presented at twelve o'clock in the evening. Readers who are still there at that time are welcome to come and click!

Chapter 184 Rescue Hamad
Chapter 184 Rescue Hamad——
Originally, in the air force, there was a special helicopter formation responsible for searching and rescuing parachuting pilots. However, during the fierce air battle just now, the air force base was trying its best to ensure the refueling, bombing and take-off of the fighter jets performing interception missions, as well as for The follow-up fighter jets were preparing to take off, and for a moment, they did not take into account the rescue of the pilots of the first batch of Mirage F1 formations.
Hamad was a little sad. Several boys in his squadron had already shed blood in the sky, and all the Phantom F1 of a squadron were also shattered into pieces in the air. However, their record was also extraordinary. It was the first time in a frontal air battle , Beat down the invincible tomcat of the Iranians!The Iraqi Air Force no longer fled without receiving the powerful radar signal. Hamad was already very satisfied with his squadron's record.
It was not far from the Abadan defense line, only a dozen miles away. Hamad untied his parachute and prepared to walk back to Abadan.
Here is an endless wilderness, and under this wilderness, oil is buried everywhere. After the peace here is complete, Iraq can develop the oil fields here.Thinking that under the leadership of the great His Excellency Qusay, they have won one victory after another, and Hamad's confidence in this war has become full again.
In Ali's high-powered binoculars, he suddenly found a person wearing his own flight suit. Looking at him walking carelessly, it seemed that he was not shot down from the sky, but a big man who returned after winning.
These Air Force guys!Ali thought it was a little funny.
Suddenly, a few puffs of blue smoke appeared in his telescope.
Oops, the Iranian tanks are coming up!
When did the Iranian tactics become so superb?As soon as the air force flattened the defense line here, the Iranian army came up?
In his binoculars, the Air Force brother seemed to have found something, and turned his head to look back.
Hamad felt the vibration of the ground, which was very rhythmic. He turned his head and saw the smoke of engine exhaust in the distance.
Oops, it's a tank!
Hamad knew that only when the tank was marching across the country would the exhaust gas turn black due to insufficient engine power. Needless to say, the Iranians must have come up!
Hamad couldn't help but want to scold his mother. In this case, if he was chased by the opponent's tank troops, would he still have a way to survive?If I was in the sky, a bomb could kill them, or I could fly over here in a few seconds by pulling the joystick, but now, I only have two legs, so let's run!
Seeing the clumsy look of the air force brother in flight suit and holding the helmet in his hand, Ali smiled and ordered: "The second armored company, send two infantry combat vehicles to rescue our air force brother."
"Okay!" Looking at the happy look of the regiment leader, the subordinates answered yes without seriousness. In the bunker behind, the armored soldiers jumped onto two infantry fighting vehicles.
The BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle is the main infantry fighting vehicle equipped by the Soviet Union. In Iraq, only the most elite Republican Guards are equipped with this infantry fighting vehicle. The other armored divisions are all old-fashioned Type 63 made in China.
After getting Ali, Zhang Feng not only got a veteran in commanding armored troops, but also got the equipment and personnel of a full armored regiment, which is more than a huge wealth.
Just looking at this infantry fighting vehicle, a 300-horsepower four-stroke diesel engine drives a 13-ton body with good off-road performance. On the short turret is a 1mm 73A2 low-pressure smoothbore gun with a range of 28 meters. 1300, next to the smoothbore gun, is the SEG anti-tank missile monorail launcher, equipped with 40 missiles.
Such an infantry fighting vehicle, even if it faces the enemy's heavy tank unit, can attack the opponent with anti-tank missiles, and then use the advantage of high-speed maneuvering to escape.
Asking them to bring back that unlucky pilot is just an extremely small task.
