Babylonian Empire

The Su-20 wingmen who followed closely behind were fortunate that the smoke had not yet risen. They crossed the runway and came to the sky above the apron and hangar.

The planes on the tarmac, the F-4 Phantom, and the F-5 Freedom Fighters, were immediately hit. Some of them were cluster bombs. Even though the accuracy of the hits was not high, the scattered warheads caused great damage to these planes. Although the use of cluster bombs is prohibited by international conventions, none of the countries participating in the war took it seriously, especially Saddam Hussein, who even used chemical weapons when he was red-eyed. If there were nuclear weapons, I'm afraid even dare to use nuclear weapons.

Soon, the tarmac was also a mess.

The second Su-20 formation behind is dealing with the fighters in the hangar.

The hangars are all reinforced concrete structures. To deal with such targets, armor-piercing aerial bombs are needed. Therefore, the aerial bombs they mount are relatively large, which increases the kinetic energy when falling. During the two world wars, huge The aerial bombs can penetrate even the heavy deck of a battleship, not to mention the reinforced concrete structure.

Among the flying shrapnel and the rising smoke, no one noticed that the two F-4s on the runway were forced to take off.

At the beginning, the Iraqi Air Force decided to bomb the runway first and then the planes, because they were afraid that the Iranian planes would get up and beat them up. The Iranian Air Force has always been tough.

This time was no exception. During takeoff, an F-4 behind was hit by shrapnel and turned into a fireball, but the lead plane took off successfully.

Damn Iraqis, since you dare to sneak attack, let you try it!

After the Su-20 dropped the bomb, the fuselage became lighter, and the pilot adjusted the wing sweep angle to prepare to climb higher and leave the battlefield to return.

The Su-20 is a variable-sweep wing aircraft that is mainly used for ground attacks. However, two air-to-air missiles for self-defense are retained on the wingtips. When necessary, air combat can be carried out.

After completing the mission, the pilots were a little relaxed. They didn't notice the F-4 Phantom flying over from the direction of nine o'clock.

Although two Sparrow medium-range air-to-air missiles are mounted under the wings of the f-4, the weapon operator in the rear compartment has discovered that the radar interference is very strong this time. It's a white flower, nothing can be seen.

Therefore, all they can use are the four Sidewinder air-to-air missiles at the front of the wings. Due to the original design problem, the F-4 Phantom has no cannon.

At this time, Arslan, who was patrolling in the sky, visually searched for the Iranian plane coming out of the thick smoke, and immediately shouted over the radio: "Blacksmith Squadron, pay attention to the nine o'clock direction!"

Blacksmith Squadron is the code name of Su-20 Squadron.

After finishing speaking, Arslan swooped down from the air, absolutely not letting the ghosts cause any damage to his formation!

At this time, the Su-20 squadron also spotted the Iranian plane flying from the side, but it was too late.

Although the powerful jammer interfered with the radar of the F-4 Phantom, infrared-guided air-to-air missiles are still unlimited.

The pilot quickly locked on to the closest Iraqi aircraft and pressed the launch button.

A Sidewinder missile, dragging flames, flew towards a wingman on the far right of the Su-20 formation.

The Su-20, the original model of the Su-17, was already regarded as a very resistant aircraft in the equipment of the Soviet Air Force, and the Su-20 was a simplified model of it, so simplified that even the infrared decoy jamming bombs were not equipped. .

Although the bomb was dropped, the pilot did not have much confidence in avoiding the incoming missile.

"Dive, Blacksmith Squadron, dive now," Arslan called over the radio.

You can't dodge this infrared missile in normal dives, but today is different. There are fires everywhere on the ground. As long as the opponent's missile dives with the locked target, that poor missile can be plunged into the ground. in the fire.

The pilots of the Su-20 squadron also thought of this, and they dived collectively.

The seeker of the Sidewinder missile has been firmly locked on the target, and it is flying correctly amidst the strong electromagnetic interference.

It found that the plane in front was diving, so it dived down without hesitation.

As soon as it lowered its head, it realized that it was wrong. There were strong infrared rays everywhere, stronger than the infrared signature of the tail nozzle of the plane it locked on just now. The moment it hesitated, it realized that it could no longer find it. At the track of the plane just now, it lost its target!

The rattlesnake continued to fly for a few seconds before crashing into the flames.

The pilot of the Phantom fighter, watching the opponent dive, dodge the missile, and pull up in the fire unscathed, was very depressed, and immediately prepared another Sidewinder missile.

Suddenly, the weapon operator in the back cabin shouted: "At three o'clock, there are missiles!"

Arslan led his wingmen and swooped down. Seeing that the Su-20 had successfully escaped, he immediately launched the infrared missiles he carried in an orderly manner.

The pilot of the F-4 Phantom fighter jet, without even thinking about it, immediately pushed the stick and dived.

The Su-20 was able to get rid of the missile just now, so he can get rid of it too!

I knew you were going to dive!Arslan wore an oxygen mask with a charming smile on his face. He followed up with a putt and also dived. At the same time, he adjusted the sweep angle of the wings to the maximum.

The MiG-23 followed suit, but it swooped faster, and the distance between the two sides was rapidly approaching.

Ignoring the pain of being pulled by the high g force, Arslan adjusted the fire control to the cannon.

在米格-23的肚子下方，有1门gsh-23l型23毫米机炮，载弹200发。

Do you know what it means to fight bayonet in the air?Arslan counted the examples of air combat on the Korean battlefield.

In the scope, the silhouette of the F-4 Phantom became bigger and clearer, and Arslan held his breath.

Arslan's wingman looked at his lead plane in surprise, alas, this guy always flies like a madman!

"Tutu, chug" A tongue of flame was fired from under Arslan's fuselage. There would be a tracer bullet in the middle of every few shells. Even though it was daytime, the trajectory of the shell could still be clearly seen.

The 23mm caliber artillery has a more curved trajectory, which is not as good as the small caliber artillery in a straight line. However, the benefits are also obvious. As long as one shell hits, it will completely tear the opponent's aircraft apart!

Although air combat has already entered the age of missiles, machine guns are still not outdated!

The pilot of the F-4 Phantom fighter jet felt the airflow around the fuselage trembling, and he was trying to avoid it. Suddenly, he felt the fuselage shake, and the front instrument panel began to have several startling red lights. The lights are blinking.

Left engine failure, hydraulic failure, fuel leak... The pilot tried to pull the nose up, but the plane didn't respond.

F-4 Phantom, flying straight down into the fire below.

Chapter 332 Armored Troop Attack

Chapter 332 Armored Troop Attack

The Hawker air defense missile is the main air defense missile of the U.S. military. Before the appearance of the Patriot, it has been undertaking the main air defense mission. However, since the U.S. military mainly emphasizes offense, this kind of missile has not been installed in large quantities, but has been sold. Many countries in the world, including Iran, have a large number of such surface-to-air missiles to deal with low-altitude and medium-altitude targets.

A complete Hawk missile combat unit is mainly composed of three major parts: acquisition, fire control and shooting, including a pulse acquisition radar for target monitoring, a high-power irradiation radar for target tracking, and a built-in console command post, a set of mkxii identification friend or foe question answering system and three sets of triple launchers.

Now, in the anti-aircraft missile position on one side of the base, several sets of triple launchers mounted on trailers are pointing directly at the sky. The radar is still spinning weakly, but the missile soldiers are full of anger.

The base was being bombed, and their colleagues were being killed, but they, the missile force that was supposed to take on the heavy responsibility of protecting the base and killing the opponent's aircraft, could do nothing.

"Quick, activate the anti-jamming equipment." A radar soldier said.

Since it was jammed, it is said that this weapon system imported from the United States also has powerful anti-jamming equipment, so let's try it first!

Turned on the anti-jamming device, and sure enough, the snowflakes on the screen were less, and some bright spots could be vaguely displayed, but they were still very blurry, not enough to guide our own air defense missiles.

Although it has anti-jamming means, it is still very powerless in the face of more powerful jamming. The powerful jamming pod developed by Joseph's leadership is enough to interfere with the work of this kind of radar from a distance of [-] kilometers. What's more, now jammers, almost flying over their heads.

The radar soldiers were helpless, they didn't know that the catastrophe was coming soon.

The MiG-23 bombing formation came to the air above the scattered air defense missile bases and dropped a series of bombs. Suddenly, the ground below was plunged into a haze of bullets.
