1526 The Fall of the Dawn Goddess
"Open fire!"
With less than two kilometers away from the opponent's tank, the American helicopter attack team finally reached the best attack range.
With orders, dozens of anti-tank rocket nests on the weapon racks on both sides of the armed helicopters lined up in a straight line began to spew out the tongue of flames quickly.
In just over ten seconds, the 70mm anti-tank rockets rushed towards the Iraqi tank troops that were approaching the US tank at high speed. In a few seconds, all of these tanks were covered by the smoke and dust rising from the rocket explosion.
The explosion continued to extend to the rear as the helicopter advanced, and more and more tanks were shrouded in rockets.
Many tanks were blown off by the huge power of rocket explosion, and they were left on the ground without any movement.
These elite troops from the President's hometown did not have the slightest intention of retreating at this time, and still rushed forward fiercely, and even the tanks that were unable to move on the ground were constantly firing at the enemy's tanks.
The US helicopter attack team did not give up. Without rockets and anti-tank missiles, their artillery began to roar.
The US tanks on the ground were still advancing quickly at this time, and were constantly firing fires at the other side.
The explosion continued to extend, and with the addition of the helicopter troops, the entire war became more intense in an instant.
"Start air defense missiles, beat them down!" This wave of attacks destroyed more than a dozen Dragon Guard tanks, and at the same time, more than a dozen tanks were blown off the tracks and could not move.
The three-type Longwei tanks behind were constantly accelerating, and Houyi's air defense tank was already at this distance.
With the order issued, the air defense missile launch module on the top of the three-type Longwei tank in the front began to rotate quickly under the operation of the gunman, and aimed at the US helicopters that lined up in a straight line in the sky, using the cannons above the aircraft to attack the Iraqi army tanks on the ground.
"emission!"
When the Americans were caught off guard, dozens of missiles suddenly flew over the smoke and dust on the ground.
"Missile attack!"
The radar of the US military helicopter instantly emitted an alarm, which made the entire neat formation mess instantly.
"avoid!"
However, the speed of Houyi missile made the US attack helicopter not react at all.
In five seconds, these helicopters did not fly too far, and even the maneuvering movements were not completed. The air defense missiles from the ground had already appeared in front of them.
"Boom!" The pilot of an Apache armed helicopter asked the helicopter to fly sideways. Before he could complete the action, he was hit by a missile and instantly turned into a ball of fire.
"Boom! Boom!"
As if the prelude was about to begin, more than a dozen fireworks exploded in the sky.
"Want to run? It's not that easy!" The Iraqi commander saw that the first wave of attack was deflected by the bait bomb released by the opponent's helicopter, and the attack effect did not reach the ideal, so he immediately issued an order to continue firing. "Start all the missiles for me!"
The commander now doesn't want to let go of any of them.
At the higher level of the sky, fireballs continued to explode in the air, and the fighter planes of both sides were fighting.
A large number of US aircraft have arrived. On the other hand, Iraq has the only fighter jets that can compete with the US military are J-11, MiG-29, and MiG-25.
These fighter jets were divided into several waves and constantly engaged in battle with US fighter jets.
Isad's fighter jet unit has less than 50 J-11 left, while the casualties of the US military were three times or even four times as many as those of them under the attack of the Changkong Sword.
However, over time, the shortcomings of the Iraqi Air Force's lack of advanced fighter jets have begun to gradually be exposed.
Every time one more J-11 is shot down, their pressure will be a little more.
The MiG-29, which was originally just performing a restraining mission, even the MiG-25 used as a reconnaissance aircraft had to be mobilized to the front line by General Isad.
The entire huge airspace is full of fighter jets from both sides.
As the battle deepened, the fighter jets on both sides had no formation. Under such circumstances, medium and long-range missiles could no longer be used. After all, these missiles would even be able to kill their own fighter jets. You and I have you in both sides, who can do it?
A F-15 heavy fighter was chasing a MiG-29. Not far away, a J-11 was locking a F-16 and a MiG-25 was preparing to aim at the F-15 in a higher sky. During the high-speed flight, both sides kept locking and seizing the opportunity. The pilot pressed the missile launch button regardless of whether it had a very favorable effect.
Suddenly, the MiG-29 fighter jet rolled away, dodged the missiles catching up from behind, and flew towards the F-16 not far from the side. As soon as the radar was locked, a missile flew under the wings of the MiG-29 towards the F-16 being chased.
And behind it, two missiles flew directly towards it.
"Boom!" The MiG29 turned into a ball of fireworks in the air. The pilot didn't even have time to press the ejection button of the ejection seat. The blood dyed the sky red with the explosion of the fighter.
"Boom!" The missile launched by the exploded MiG-29 hit the F-15 that was turning towards this side...
"boom!"
After seeing his teammate launching a missile, the J-11, who was chasing the F16, directly avoided the missile with a cobra, then rolled and turned. During this process, it just aimed at the new ones behind and launched the missile and shot down a F16 of the MiG-29. A long sword-01 was launched, but did not hit the F-16, but instead hit the original F-15 that rushed up...
In the higher sky, one of the MiG-25s did not find a chance to launch the missiles under the wings.
At this time, I found that there was a target in the higher sky, so I turned to the target...
The entire air battle scene was extremely chaotic.
Even the war on the ground became chaotic.
The Longwei-3 air defense missile caused the US attack helicopter to lose one quarter of the time. Under the madness of the Iraqi commander, hundreds of missiles flew towards these targets in the sky at the same time.
After some missiles were launched, they rushed towards the US ground attack aircraft that avoided Iraqi fighter jets, and more they rushed towards the US armed helicopters.
When these armed helicopters saw that the situation was not good, and they released most of their ammunition to the Iraqi army as soon as possible. At this time, would they not run away and wait for a beating?
The maximum flight speed of the Apache armed helicopter is only 365 kilometers per hour. At this time, the American pilots who were flew by the escaped US military definitely exceeded this speed. The reason why this armed helicopter is called the world's most advanced armed helicopter is not because of its flight speed or weapon system, but because of the longbow system equipped by this armed helicopter.
This kind of armed helicopter, the longbow system, which can lock dozens of targets at the same time, cannot allow them to obtain too much performance bonus when escaping.
Super Cobra gunship helicopters are definitely not worse than Apache. They carry more weapons and ammunition, and their maximum speed is only 352 kilometers. In this era, they are much stronger than those helicopters that are only more than 200 kilometers or just over 300 kilometers.
However, in front of air defense missiles with a flight speed of more than Mach 2, these armed helicopters are too slow.
More than 300 air defense missiles flew in at the same time, and no matter how these helicopters dodge, they would be impossible to avoid them.
"Boom boom boom!"
The gorgeous fireworks kept blooming in the sky hundreds of meters high, and the A-7 and A-8 ground attack aircraft that were hiding from Iraq were also hit by the sudden missiles, blooming with brilliant brilliance in the higher sky.
The US air command planes and early warning planes are watching all this in the higher sky, but they have no choice.
An Iraqi MiG-25 is flying towards the highway.
The early warning aircraft is constantly scanning the situation in the sky, and then transmitting the information to the command aircraft behind through the data link, which is feedback to the own fighter aircraft that has been completely entangled on the battlefield.
The number of US military aircraft is greater than that of Iraq, which is the advantage.
But unexpectedly, the MiG-25, which seemed to be chasing a US military plane, suddenly thought of the command plane and the early warning plane flying in!
In the distance, there are more MiGs rushing at a speed of more than Mach 2.8, like missiles.
"Intercept this MiG!"
As the world's first fighter with a maximum speed of more than Mach 3, the MiG-25 is also the only one now. In terms of speed, no fighter can match it at all. Even the United States' SR-71 high-altitude high-speed strategic reconnaissance aircraft can be easily caught up.
"Swish!" The pilot of the MiG-25 did not hesitate at all. When he entered the range, he aimed at the target on the radar and almost instantly launched all the missiles he carried.
Especially the specially modified Changkong Lijian-12, Iraq only obtained ten such missiles.
The speed of this missile exceeds that of the Changkong Lijian-11, and even its performance is better than that of the Changkong Lijian-11.
The size is also larger.
"Shoot!" Behind the clouds several kilometers, a weird black plane like a huge triangle was about to evacuate, and the pilot found himself locked up. He cursed and then, there was nothing...
"Boom!" A fireball exploded.
Chapter completed!
