The air battle in the Bekaa Valley is a very prominent battle example in modern warfare. Just as Zhang Feng was about to say it, suddenly, sweat dripped down his back.
Where is the Bekaa Valley?In Lebanon!Isn't it time for the impending Israeli invasion of Lebanon?And that war completely washed away the fact that the Israeli Air Force was flattened by Sam 6 in the Fourth Middle East War, and the Israeli Air Force finally felt proud.
Do you want to help Syria?Although Syria's Hafiz-Assad (a typo in the front, wrongly written, sorry) and his father are not eye-to-eye, but if the Sam 6 missiles are used to beat the Israeli fighter planes again, then, to Arafah Special will be a great help.
Zhang Feng began to hesitate.
Fate thought that Zhang Feng was worried about the formation, and said: "Your Excellency Qusay, although it is the first time we have used our secret weapons, but, with God's blessing, they will definitely return in triumph."
"I'm not worried about the formation." Zhang Feng said with some worries.
It is very disadvantageous for the general to be in a bad mood before the battle.They all began to worry about the formation, nothing will happen, right?
How did they know that their Lord Qusay, the invincible God of War, is not worried about the battle in front of him at all. His Excellency Qusay has already begun to care about world affairs in his heart.
There is another thing, the old woman of the French aerospace company may be a little angry, and the delivery of the last batch of missiles has been delayed.
This also made Zhang Feng feel uncomfortable, the opportunity to make money, if you don't come, you should miss it.
But at this time, the formation of the sky, they feel very good.
At the beginning of the war, the air force's bombing operations were nothing compared to what they are doing now. The commander of the air force at that time actually proposed the stupid tactic of bombing the runway first and then bombing the plane. When bombing the runway, all the ammunition was wasted , As a result, when bombing the plane, there were no more bombs, and the MiG-21, which was originally responsible for high-altitude cover, swooped down and used its cannon and air-to-air missiles to hit the Iranian plane on the ground. Such an effect can be imagined As you know, those planes that were very unfortunate to be hit suffered minor injuries, and they could go into battle after a little rest.As a result, in the afternoon of that day, the Iranian planes flew in retaliation.
But now, each squadron has its own bombing target, and the pictures taken by aerial photography and the long-distance investigation of the investigators have been determined, and they have all been allocated.
Two months ago, the MiG-25 reconnaissance plane of the Northern Military Region was seconded by Zhang Feng several times to take pictures over Ahvaz.
The intelligence personnel of the Messiah Bureau also conducted a close-range investigation and had already confirmed the target to be bombed.
The hangar, tower, radar station, and two Hawker anti-aircraft missile positions have all been allocated, and the pilots have also conducted ground drills in advance.
The focus of the attack is the aircraft on the hangar and the apron. Two squadrons of Su-20 will carry out repeated bombing.The MiG-21 carries less bombs and is used to bomb the towers and radar stations that have been determined in advance.A MiG-23 squadron is responsible for dealing with the Hawker air defense missile position, and the remaining MiG-23 squadron is used for backup bombing.
The MiG-21 and MiG-23, which are responsible for air control, will climb high and monitor the surrounding airspace.
The task of each aircraft in the entire formation has been clearly defined, and careful planning in advance is the basic prerequisite for the completion of the task.
However, because the quality of the pilots of the Iraqi Air Force cannot be compared with that of the Israeli Air Force after all, it is very difficult for a plane full of bombs to penetrate the defense at an ultra-low altitude, so they chose 1000 meters for their flight altitude.
Heading north from Abadan, after the bombing formation entered Iranian-controlled territory, it dropped to 500 meters and gradually approached its target.
At this time, Ahvaz was still the same as usual. In the air force base, only one c-130 carrying fighter parts slowly landed on the runway. This was a new batch of them bought at a high price from international arms dealers. There are more and more fighter planes that need urgently needed spare parts for fighter planes. Therefore, unless special combat missions are carried out, the activities of the Air Force are very few.
Even over the airport, there are no Air Force fighter jets cruising, only the ground air defense radar, turning meticulously, looking at the surrounding sky vigilantly.
The c-130 transport plane slowly stopped on the runway, and several cars drove over, ready to unload the urgently needed parts on the plane.
And next to the airport, on the operating vehicle near the radar, the radar operator is watching the screen vigilantly, ready to let the Hawk air defense missiles meet the incoming enemy at any time.
On the other runway, there are two well-maintained f-4 fighters, ready to take off at any time.
Suddenly, the radar operator keenly noticed that several bright spots appeared on the screen. What are they?
Before he could react, the screen suddenly turned into snowflakes. At the same time, a huge noise came from the earphones.
Since the altitude of the low-altitude flight was 500 meters, the formation was finally discovered by the Iranians when it was [-] kilometers away from Ahvaz.
At the same time, the two MiG-23s, which had been heavily loaded for a long time, opened the "bomb" under their stomachs.
As the plane flies forward, the huge airflow will hit the propeller, and the propeller will drive the generator inside to rotate, and a steady stream of electricity will be provided to the interference device.
Since it relied on the battery for preheating at the beginning, the electronic tube immediately entered normal operation, and the powerful electromagnetic interference filled the entire airspace.
The two formations responsible for providing cover began to climb higher and look down at the battlefield.The bombing formation began to change formation as planned, and calibrated its direction for the last time.
Although the jammer interferes in the entire frequency band, a frequency channel is set aside for formation command.
Why is this US-made radar broken at this time?At this time, the radar soldiers did not know that they had received electromagnetic interference.
"Turn on the radar of the Hawker anti-aircraft missile. We have to overhaul this damn equipment." A radar soldier said.
Because it was a wired phone, they were not disturbed. The Hawker anti-aircraft missile position learned that the long-range radar was broken. Although its own radar had a short detection range, it had to make a relay plan.
The mpq-50 radar of the Hawker anti-aircraft missile was turned on. Who knows, the screen was also white. What happened today?
Suddenly, the Hawker air defense missile radar soldier who had been trained in the United States suddenly remembered that it was not that the radar was broken at all, but that the other party had implemented powerful electromagnetic interference!
Air Raid Alert!Radarmen want to send out a signal.

Chapter 331 Bombing the Ahvaz Air Force Base ([-])
On the runway, the ground crew of the Iranian Air Force who were carrying weapon parts suddenly heard a familiar roar from the sky. They couldn't help but look up to the sky. There was no news that there would be planes from other bases arriving soon?
Suddenly, a sharp air defense siren sounded, and the ground crew realized that the plane was not their own, but Iraq's!
quick!hidden!They immediately jumped into the car and transferred the parts that had been moved into the hangar.
It's a pity that it was too late. At this time, the black and dense fleet had already flown above them.
According to the pre-arrangement, the planes in the hangars were to be bombed. However, when the lead plane of the first Su-20 squadron spotted the big guy on the runway, he immediately decided that the wingman should bomb the hangars himself. Get rid of this big guy!
As the alarm sounded, the anti-aircraft artillery positions guarding the airport also began to fire. However, without the guidance of the early warning radar, the anti-aircraft artillery rarely achieved results against the aircraft that penetrated the defense at low altitude and high speed. They are just shooting at the sky blindly.
And the most proud Hawker air defense missile, this missile once shot down dozens of invading Iraqi planes at the beginning of the war, but now it is already a headless fly.
The white flowers on the radar screen continued. In this case, the missile could not lock the target at all, and even if it was launched, it would be a waste.
After hearing the siren, the f-4 pilot who was on duty on combat readiness immediately ran to the runway, ready to take off quickly to meet the enemy.
At this time, the bomb has fallen from the top of the head.
At this time, the Iraqi Air Force lacks precision-guided weapons. There are no laser-guided bombs or TV-guided bombs at all, and GPS is even more impossible to appear at this time. What they use are the most common free-fall bombs.
However, before this, the pilots had undergone repeated training, and all the bombs had been carefully overhauled. Moreover, it was low-altitude bombing, and the accuracy was not low.
The lead plane of the Su-20 accurately dropped the bomb on the big guy on the runway, and suddenly, there was a sea of flames.
Lockheed's C-130 Hercules transport aircraft adopts a fuselage layout with a single wing, four engines, and a large cargo door at the rear.As far as the world is concerned, it is the most successful transport aircraft. This layout is almost the design "standard" of transport aircraft. Since then, most medium-sized transport aircraft have not jumped out of this frame.Numerous heavy transport aircraft also adopted a similar design.Therefore, the c-130 can be said to be the "originator" of contemporary transport aircraft.
In the Iranian Air Force, the transport aircraft left over from the Bavillian dynasty is almost the strategic transport force of the Iranian army.
One c-130 has more strategic value than two Tomcats!
The bomb hit the middle of Hercules, and the strong impact immediately opened a big hole in Hercules. Then, the delayed fuze exploded, breaking Hercules in two, and igniting the few tons of Hercules remaining. Aviation fuel, suddenly, a big fire rose, and the scene was very spectacular.
However, the thick smoke also caused trouble for the bombing formation behind, blocking their sight.
