In the second stage, the air force plays the leading role, and a part of the air force attacks Tehran. In this way, the Iranian Tomcat fighters will rarely have the opportunity to come to Abadan, and they will contain the opponent's main air force.
Then, the important task is to use the air force, with the cooperation of the ground forces, to kill the main force drawn out of the Iranians!
Although Arslan shot down a Tomcat last time, it was just an operation with a lot of luck. After careful study, Zhang Feng decided not to go head-to-head. Before he was sure, it was not appropriate for the Air Force to do it. What an adventure.
Then, a new problem arises. If you want to attack Iran’s ground forces, you have to take away the air supremacy. However, if the Iranian Tomcats come, the air supremacy will change hands immediately. How to fight?
Therefore, there is only one way to contain their fighters!
After more than a year of consumption, there are not many Tomcats that are ready for combat without a source of spare parts. These precious fighters need to be used in many places, for example, to guard the airspace of their capital!
Send an air force to attack Tehran, then Tomcat has no chance to support the battle here.
However, there are not many aircraft in the Southern Military Region, and the focus must be on the Battle of Abadan. When reporting the battle plan, Zhang Feng added one point: Request the Northern Air Force to take off a wave and bomb Tehran!
President Saddam granted the request.
Chapter 81 Bomb Tehran?
Chapter 81 Bomb Tehran? ——
The MiG-25 driven by Reyel first slid onto the runway. "Search to see the fastest"
As an interceptor-based fighter, the MiG-25 has good high-altitude and high-speed performance. Today, their fighter squadron will go deep into the hinterland of Iran to perform cover missions.
Several Su-20s had set off 20 minutes ago. They converged at the border and entered Iranian airspace in formation.
The bombing of Tehran involved a squadron of MiG-25 fighter jets, a squadron of MiG-23 fighter jets and a squadron of Su-20 attack aircraft.
In addition to the Su-20, the MiG-23 and MiG-25 all have good high-speed performance. Their mission this time, the bombing is only a little bit, as long as they attract the attention of the opponent's air force, they can contain the opponent's main air fighter: Tomcat, give Abadan's army a chance.
Modern warfare is definitely not about a certain arm, fighting in an isolated place. Every battle should involve many arms. Joint operations and close cooperation between various armies are very important. This is also the central battle of various network systems in later generations. The reason for it.
In this battle, Zhang Feng was determined to put on a good show, so not only the air force, but also the only navy in Iraq was included in his scope of action.
Reyer checked all the gauges, made sure everything was in order, and released the brakes.
The MiG-25 slid quickly on the runway, and the tail flame turned lavender, which was the reason for turning on the afterburner.Two r-15bd-300 turbojet engines burst out with a thrust of more than 200 kN, pushing the fuselage weighing more than 30 tons, piercing the blue sky.
Under the wing of each MiG-25, 2 p-40r semi-active radar-guided medium-range air-to-air missiles, 2 p-40t infrared-guided medium-range air-to-air missiles and 2 p-60 process infrared air-to-air missiles are mounted. , This is already a standard air-to-air missile imported from the Soviet Union, but it is almost impossible to shoot down the Tomcat.
The appearance of the p-40 is a bit like a smaller phoenix, with a maximum range of 50 kilometers, and it can barely reach the tomcat. However, the key problem is that this missile is designed to intercept slow bombers. For intercepting fighter jets with excellent maneuverability, the onboard computer on the missile is not fast enough to keep up with the opponent's maneuvering movements.
If you want to succeed, unless it is a sneak attack.
The MiG-23 carries standard p-23 medium-range missiles and p-60 short-range missiles.
Reyer pulled up the joystick, and the MiG-25 nimbly pulled up the nose and flew into the blue sky:.
The fact that Second Lieutenant Arslan shot down an Iranian F-23 Tomcat with a MiG-14 has been notified to the entire Air Force. Pressure, the achievement of taking down the first f-14 has already been taken down by Arslan, he wants to take down the second and third!
Behind him, the other three MiG-25s of the squadron also took off.
After forming a team, they moved towards the predetermined airspace, caught up with the slow Su-20 squadron, and together with the MiG-23 formation, they flew over the national border.
"Report, the Iraqi Air Force is dispatched." In the headquarters, Hassan heard a piece of news that he didn't want to hear.
"Which air base? Where are they targeting?" Hassan asked.
Khomeini next to him did not speak, but kept listening.
"It may have taken off from the H-3 Air Force Base, or it may be the Kirkuk Air Force Base. It flew from Ilam Province. Judging from the air route, it is likely to fly to our capital, Tehran."
Tehran?Hassan's heart tightened. The safety of Tehran is the most important thing. If Tehran is destroyed, the morale of the Iranian army will be seriously shaken.
"Has our air force taken off?" Khomeini asked suddenly.
"Yes, according to your order, ready to support the battle of Abadan:." Hassan said.
"Let the air force return immediately to defend Tehran," Khomeini said.
In order to support the battle at Abadan, the Iranian Air Force took off two Tomcat fighter jets and two F-4E Phantom fighter squadrons, and they were ordered to return immediately.
&n The Phantom fighter is also a type of fighter that is heavily equipped by the Iranian Air Force. Before the Tomcat entered the Air Force, the Phantom has always been the main force of the Air Force.
The Phantom fighter adopts the form of two-person pilots, which is the same as the Tomcat, and emphasizes multi-purpose capabilities. It can not only conduct air combat, but also carry out ground attack. The aspect ratio of the swept low monoplane, the nose is a large radome, and the vertical tail forms a 120-degree angle with the downward-reversing horizontal tail.
The special shape features selected through a large number of wind tunnel tests, coupled with the use of jet flaps and other measures, make the Phantom fighter low in landing speed, and it is not easy to stall at the tip of the wing when flying at low speed.It adopts the aerodynamic layout of the air intake on both sides, with the side air intake attached to the surface layer control panel, and is equipped with two j79-ge-17 engines, with a single afterburner thrust of 79.6 kN. Compared with other models, the front engine A fixed installation of 1mmm20 "Vulcan" 61-barreled guns is added to the body.
As an American-made fighter, the Phantom’s fire control equipment is also very powerful: ANASG-26 front computational optical sight, ANAPQ-120 radar, ANASQ-91 weapon delivery computer, ANAJB-7 attitude reference and bombing system and external laser irradiation tracking pods etc.
This time it was a bombing mission. Although the Phantom fighter was carrying ground bombs on the main pylons, it also mounted two Sparrow air-to-air missiles on the semi-buried pylons under the fuselage. Two Sidewinder air-to-air missiles.
To be on the safe side, the Air Force scrambled to take off two Tomcats on combat readiness, heading in the direction of the Iraqi Air Force, ready to intercept.
After going deep into the hinterland of Iran, you cannot get useful information from the ground-based radar stations in the rear. Only eyes and radar can effectively search the airspace.
As the lead plane, Reyer turned on his own "Return Wind A" radar, which is powerful enough to detect enemy planes 100 kilometers away, and shoot down the enemy planes with his own medium-range air-to-air missiles at 50 kilometers away .
Limited by backward electronic technology, this distance is mainly achieved by increasing the power of the radar. Therefore, the MiG-25's radar is very scary, and it is said that it can kill a rabbit on the ground.
Of course, this is an unofficial statement.
However, if the opponent is a tomcat, you have to be extremely careful. Maybe you will be killed by the phoenix before you reach a distance of 50 kilometers.
However, the Iraqi Air Force formation was very lucky this time. Due to the lack of Phoenix missiles in Iran, they mainly performed ground attack missions this time. Therefore, the Tomcats carried medium-range Sparrow air-to-air missiles.
The Su-20 was at low altitude, the MiG-23 was at the middle altitude, and the MiG-25 was at the high altitude. The three formations marched firmly towards the hinterland of Iran. Even though they knew that they might encounter strong resistance, they did not hesitate.
Chapter 82 The Air Force of the Southern Military Region is dispatched
Chapter 82 The Air Force of the Southern Military Region is dispatched——
At the same time, a large number of planes waiting at the Basra Air Force Base began to take off in batches. "novel"
To execute a perfect bombing, advance planning is very important, especially since there is no air early warning aircraft.
Basra Air Force Base is a large air force base, which has one MiG-21 brigade, two MiG-23 brigades, and two Su-20 brigades.No MiG-25 stationed.A brigade has three squadrons, and each squadron has four aircraft, so a brigade has twelve aircraft.
In addition, there are helicopters, most of which are Mi-24 Hind gunships.
Today, the air force base executed its first high-intensity combat plan
Due to the level of training, the air force base will never have the same dispatch intensity as Israel. During the air battle, the Israeli Air Force flew back, got off the plane to urinate, waited for the missiles to be mounted, and then went into the air to fight.And the Iraqi air force, being able to dispatch two consecutive missions in one day, is absolutely high-intensity.
