Chapter 969 The attack fleet takes off

After the storm, the ship finally stopped shaking. At this time, the helicopter pilots performed well, but the ground crews who had never left the sea were already shaking in a dizzy way. They finally knew what seasickness was.

It turns out that it is just to shake hard to pour out all the things in your stomach. While vomiting, you also have to hold on to the things next to you to prevent falling. Under the power of nature, everything seems so small.

After the hull calmed down, the first thing they did was to see if the helicopter was still tied there firmly and whether it was loose. Fortunately, everything was normal.

This is the first long voyage of the Iraqi Navy. They are using tenacious perseverance to overcome all difficulties. This is an inevitable stage for their growth towards the ocean.

Through the confidential channel of Oushen's communications satellites, they can keep in touch with Basra and Maputo area teams.

"The last check of ammunition." Finally, we were about to arrive at the scheduled sea area: on the sea three hundred kilometers outside Maputo, Karim issued an order.

Before the battle, checking the situation of weapons and ammunition is also a very important step. Even in the last air strike on Libya, the American Airlines thought they were very elite, but half of the ammunition they dropped did not explode. For example, if the one in the French Embassy was bombed, the consequences would be even more serious. In the Battle of the Cabernets a few years ago, although the Argentine air force was fearless, many bombs did not explode, which greatly reduced the attack effect.

They absolutely cannot allow this situation to happen. They must ensure that every bomb dropped can explode. They can only take one action and must completely destroy it.

At this time, the sun in the west is about to slowly set, and this action has entered the countdown stage.

This place belongs to the high seas, and because Mozambique on the coast, there are basically no formal navy and air force, and they are not on the waterway, their navigation will not attract attention.

Midnight attacks will be more hidden. Although flying at an extremely low altitude in unfamiliar areas at night is very dangerous, they have made sufficient preparations, with the help of night vision devices, and the terrain radar. They have memorized all the conditions on the route, which is like going home to visit relatives, and all the roads are very familiar.

Therefore, the attack will start at night and nothing will be discovered.

After hearing the order, all the personnel began to be busy. From the weapon packaging box, the weapon began to be opened, and the last detection was carried out, the insurance was released, and it was mounted on the short wing of Mi-24, cross-linked with Mi-24's onboard computer for the final debugging.

This time, a total of six were placed in the hangar, all of which were fierce Army Mi-24 helicopters. On the deck outside, there was a Blackhawk helicopter staying.

The Black Hawk helicopter is an excellent military helicopter. Now that Iraq has maintained a good relationship with the United States, Iraq has purchased this helicopter from the United States and a large number of accessories to equip the troops, several of which are naval.

Moreover, the deployment of the naval training ship will definitely attract the attention of others. It would be abnormal if helicopter take-off and landing training is not carried out on the bare deck. The Army's Mi-24 cannot appear. For this period, Blackhawk helicopters have been training.

Moreover, during this attack, the Black Hawk helicopter acted as the last to evaluate the bombing effect. Moreover, Iraqi personnel equipped the Black Hawk with short wings on both sides, which could carry two powerful bombs and prepare for a supplementary attack.

Iraqi personnel began to operate nervously, and at this time, it was getting darker.

Black Hawk helicopters need to be equipped with short wings on both sides. Although this type of helicopter is generally free of plug-ins, it can also be equipped with short wings when designed, with a force beam. However, this short wing is used to install a secondary fuel tank. Now, it has been modified and mounted with bombs by Iraqi personnel.

The operation of Mi-24 is even more complicated. They slowly pushed them out of the hangar and pushed them to the flight deck. They also need to install the disassembled rotor again, and they are operating nervously.

Three Mi-24s were launched, and there was enough space for the Mi-24 in the hangar, so the remaining three Mi-24s were operated directly in the hangar.

The four take-off and landing positions outside, and the three inside have already freed up space, were busy with Iraqi personnel. Although they had conducted repeated drills, they still felt that their hands and feet were too slow.

All six Mi-24s are mounted on the same mount. The load-bearing capacity of the weapon mount on the inner side is the most prominent, and is used to mount two gem-road laser-guided bombs. This is their killer weapon to accurately bomb important targets. Correspondingly, it is necessary to mount a laser indicator pole on one side, and a wingtip mount on the other side, and four anti-tank missiles are mounted. The central mount on both sides are mounted on each mount. Each rocket launcher can be equipped with 32 57mm rockets.

Laser guided bombs are used to strike key targets, rockets are used to cover surfaces, and anti-tank missiles are used to finish them. In fact, only four can be used to turn them into a sea of ​​fire. Six of them are used to solve all the targets.

Under this kind of suspension, the Mi-24's range is only 300 kilometers. In order to ensure the smooth progress of this operation, Iraqi technicians modified the Mi-24, first of all, adding two sets of sub-fuel tanks in the huge crew cabin behind the Mi-24.

There are 5 bulletproof fuel tanks in the Mi-24 machine, which can carry 2130 liters of fuel. When designed, two 1630 liters of sub-fuel tanks can be installed in the machine. Now, Iraqi technicians have built two larger fuel tanks that can carry nearly 2,000 liters of fuel. This will allow Mi-24 to fly to the refueling point and ensure that some remaining fuel is still guaranteed.

Then, after refueling, flew to the Pretoria area, then returned, added the second time, and before dawn, returned to the training ship.

After several hours of intense assembly, at 10 o'clock in the evening, the preparations before takeoff were finally completed.

Aziz stepped into the cockpit and was a little excited. He sailed for half a month just to wait for this day!

"The operation begins, let's go out, my child." Commander-in-chief Karim said. After the operation begins, the specific battle of the formation was handed over to the commander of the Army Aviation Brigade, Heard.

Hurd also stepped into his cockpit, started the engine, and as the propeller rotated, pushed the accelerator, and pulled the total torque, Mi-24 left the deck below and drilled into the night sky with a rumbling sound. The weapons under the short wings were always imprinted in the minds of the people on the ship.

After the first batch of rice-24 was released, the second batch of rice-24 was also pulled out of the hangar and arrived at the stoppage, started and took off, and they would meet again at the refueling site.

After taking off, the fleet lowered its altitude and flew towards the Maputo area at an economic cruise speed of 220 kilometers per hour at a distance of only fifty meters from the sea.

Aziz looked outside, wearing a night vision device, and there was a green world outside. The endless sea water was filled with slight waves. As an army aviation force, they rarely flew to the sea. There was no reference to compare here. The only thing they could believe was the instruments in front of them.

The Mi-24 helicopter produced by Iraq has improved electronic equipment, such as navigation systems, and used Western equipment, which greatly improved the accuracy, which is also a necessary condition for them to carry out this long-distance attack.

"Note that we are about to enter the sky above the land and the height is reduced to forty meters." Hurd's voice came from the headphones.

Although Mozambique basically has no air defense, in order to play a concealment, they still chose to continue to lower the height to maintain their suddenness.

Although this time it was said that it was bombing Israel's base, it was not allowed to let the other party know that it was done by Iraq, because it would cause serious political problems. Although Iraq is not afraid, this kind of trouble should be minimized. It is also considered that it would be considered by choosing to enter from Mozambique in the end, which was to blame Mozambique and let the two countries argue about this matter.

It has been flying for an hour and a half, and the fuel in the additional fuel tank has been consumed long ago, and the main fuel tank has consumed half of the fuel. What they need to do now is to find the fuel fleet that they have arranged here in advance. Otherwise, they will have almost no other way except to blow up the helicopters that have exhausted fuel.

Maputo is located at the southern end of Mozambique's territory, facing the Maputo Bay in the Indian Ocean. After that, it was designated as the capital of Mozambique, but it is still very empty outside the city of Maputo.

At this time, twenty kilometers northwest of Manesa, some people were waiting quietly.

They had already driven off the road, and on a deserted road, a car broke down and blocked the entire road. No one could get through it. In order to save time, they walked the path and found that this was a mistake.

During the day, people passing by occasionally express their sympathy for them. Unfortunately, there is no solution and they have to wait for the arrival of rescue vehicles.
