Chapter 645 The Air Force Stirrer

During the Iran-Iraq War, the Soviet Union provided a batch of MiG-25 fighter jets, which were initially piloted by Soviet men. After the Iran-Iraq War, Soviet experts withdrew and all were handed over to the Iraqi Air Force to operate. Due to the outstanding contribution of this squadron, Saddam personally awarded each squadron pilot a gilded "Honor AK-47".

At this time, Captain Juha Daoud, who had a 1,500-hour flight experience, was leading the entire MiG-25 formation. At this time, the Iraqi Air Force was still guided by the gi on the ground according to the standard Soviet tactics and headed towards the direction of the target.

Relying on the excellent interception performance of MiG-25, after leaving the runway, the MiG-25 fleet was climbing. Two days ago, when the US Navy's aircraft carrier arrived at the port in Pakistan, the Iraqi Air Force was on high alert, and now, the war has finally begun!

Kill the Americans! Protect Iraq! This is the persistent belief of Iraqi soldiers. Now, they are flying their own fighter planes and climbing to a height of more than 20,000 meters, and at the same time accelerate to Mach 2.6. They continue to fly at this speed, a distance of hundreds of kilometers is only a few minutes.

Under the wings, four huge R-40 missiles also began to enter the guidance program before the attack. American Tomcat fighter jets? On the battlefield between Iraq and Iraq, the Iraqi Air Force has fought with such fighter jets many times!

Although the Iraqi Air Force was very afraid of the Iranian Tomcat fighter jets at the beginning, especially the long-distance Immortal missiles, which made the Iraqi Air Force completely out of the situation of only being beaten and not fighting back, as the war progressed, they gradually found a way to get rid of the Iranian Tomcat fighter jets.

As long as you change the direction and go around the radial direction of the opponent's radar, it will be filtered out by the pulsed Doppler radar as a clutter, causing the opponent to get out of the lock! These pilots have rich experience in surviving the cruel Iran-Iraq War.

As for the Iranians who showed off their MiG-25, they almost achieved results at low speeds. The MiG-25 at high altitude and high speeds are rarely hit accurately.

Both sides are heavy fighter jets and have excellent interception capabilities. Especially the MiG-25's abnormal supersonic flight ability, which allows the distance between the two sides to quickly approach.

However, the MiG-25 has a great disadvantage. The R-40 missile mounted under the wings has a range of only a few dozen kilometers. If you want to hit the opponent, it is best not to launch it twenty kilometers away. The Immortal Missile carried by the Tomcat fighter has a range of more than one hundred kilometers!

Therefore, if MiG-25 wants to attack the US Tomcat formation, it must be able to successfully enter the opponent within 30 kilometers! This distance is enough for the opponent to launch two rounds of Immortal missile attacks!

As the signal on the AG-71 radar becomes more and more obvious, the weapon operators in the rear cabin of the Tomcat fleet have skillfully prepared the launch of the Immortal Missile.

The distance is still approaching, as long as it is about 100 kilometers, the first round of volleys of the Immortal Missiles will begin. This is the first time such a large-scale air combat has been launched since the US Navy equipped the Tomcat fighter jets. The Tomcat fighter jets launched the Immortal Missiles as a gift for the Soviets, but during the Cold War, such a large-scale military confrontation has never appeared.

Just like the cavalry of Genghis Khan's era, they did not fight in close combat at the beginning, but instead relied on diffuse archery to kill the opponent. Due to the range advantage of the Immortal Missile, the Tomcat fighter jets could calmly launch missiles outside the opponent's strike range and then return.

Since it was an oncoming attack, and Iraqi pilots fought against Tomcats many times, they were already familiar with this kind of attack. Therefore, after discovering that they were locked, they immediately turned on, turned on the afterburner, and retreated at full speed.

The MiG-25 fighter that sprints to Mach 3 can shake off many missiles by speed. Although the maximum speed of the Immortal Missile missile exceeds Mach 4, it is the power speed. After the solid fuel engine is burned, the speed begins to drop.

The formation of the MiG-25 fleet was broken up, and in this round of attack, there were only one result in eight Immortal Missiles.

The Tomcat fighter jet broke off contact and returned to the aircraft carrier. The pilots didn't know what happened yet, so why did the attack stop temporarily?

Colonel Dennis looked at the landing fighter planes, his eyes full of anger.

Just a few minutes ago, he received an order from the White House to temporarily give up the use of force against Iraq!

Give up temporarily! It’s not because the United States is afraid of Saddam, nor is it because the United States has begun to try a peaceful solution, but because of the US Air Force’s intervening!

When we learned that the US Navy was going to act alone and launch an air strike on Iraq, the US Air Force immediately stopped doing it, clamoring in the Pentagon, saying various reasons to the Secretary of Defense. The Navy could not take on the task to attack Iraq at all, and would alert the enemy. This must be a huge and orderly combat plan, requiring the cooperation of various attack aircraft, including the cooperation of stealth fighters, to fight to knock Iraq down in one go, rather than the navy's tickling tactics!

Seeing that the Navy was about to fire the first shot, the US Air Force was of course not happy, especially the Navy's Tomcat fighter jet was about to retire, and the strongest strike force should be from the US Air Force! If the Navy's Tomcat fighter jets were allowed to perform excellent performance and fight many beautiful air battles, maybe the guys in Congress changed their minds again.

The competition between the US and the U.S. is quite fierce, and there is no doubt that the US Air Force can gain an advantage every time. This time, the persuaded Secretary of Defense held a consultation with US President Bush. Finally, the final decision was made to suspend the mission in the no-fly zone and the United States should concentrate all its forces and prepare for a fierce attack!

In this way, the only chance for the Navy to show his face was stranded by the US Air Force's shit stick. Colonel Dennis was quite annoyed. He originally thought that he would shoot down some Iraqi fighter jets during this period, but now, the only result was created by the Iraqi Navy Air Force!

Although he was very depressed, as a soldier, it was his duty to execute orders, so he could only order the formation to return to Guadal Harbor and temporarily take a rest before the war.
