Chapter 1117 Multi-target attack

The sharp alarm sounded throughout the air force base. After the early warning planes in front came from, the air force immediately began to make complete preparations to carry out takeoff operations.

Originally, Israel believed that when its fighter jets began to attack the opponent's early warning aircraft, it was the best time for it to take off, because even if the early warning aircraft discovered the fighter jets that it took off, it would take a certain amount of time to take off the opponent's fighter jets to meet the enemy.

Because the opponent cannot be on duty twenty-four hours a day, and it is even more impossible for a fighter to be equipped with two groups of pilots. The pilot also needs to rest. Therefore, in an airport, there is a very high configuration for the fighter jets that have left at most two squadrons to take off. If a fighter jet wants to take off, refuel, hang bullets, and detect, even the most skilled Israeli Air Force, these actions must be completed in about five minutes. As for the Arab Air Force, generally speaking, it will not be possible to play within half an hour. Even the Iraqi Air Force will have to be ten minutes at the fastest. During this period, it is enough for them to launch the action, just blowing up those planes when they have been dragged out of the hangar and ready to take off on the runway. That is very pleasing to the eye.

Unfortunately, this situation has not happened now. The Iraqi Air Force was already on high alert. Their fighter planes were always full of fuel and missiles. Moreover, they were all air-optimized and attacked the ground, which was the matter of ballistic missiles and Su-25. Iraq has mobilized a large number of Phantom 4000 fighters, which was for air-controlling air supremacy with the other side. Just now, after receiving the news of the early warning plane, the pilots in the entire air base had already gotten up, put on their flight suits, and just put on their flight helmets and took off on their heads.

In the middle, it can be less than ten minutes away.

Just after the early warning aircraft signal came, the two squadrons of fighter jets that were waiting for orders had taken off from the air bases in Uselli and Amman, preparing to face the enemy.

In the later stage, large-scale fighter jets will take off one after another.

Now, what decides to win the battle is the defense and fighting battle of the early warning aircraft in the air.

Seeing that highlight, Sartre on the early warning plane knew that he was indeed thinking about it. He didn't need to take the mission. The four fighter jets escorted saw the data transmitted from the data link, so he was about to rush up and kill the hateful plane.

However, Sartre immediately stopped this behavior. He only asked two fighter planes to intercept and continued to leave two planes to protect himself.

This was beyond Jon's expectations.

When flying, the Iraqi air force always maintains a dense formation. For example, the fighter jets escorted for early warning aircraft are two intensive formations of two dual aircraft. In this way, in the eyes of the opponent's radar, they think it is only two aircraft. Therefore, Jon's original tactic was to use one of the aircraft to lure the opponent's escort fighter jets first, and then he had enough time to kill the early warning aircraft without the escort aircraft. At the same time, their attack aircraft group had reached a critical position.

However, the situation has changed now. First, the early warning aircraft did not continue to fly north according to its original course, but turned south in advance, which led to their attack launch in advance. Second, the opponent's escort fighter aircraft were four, and now, there are only two of them chasing their own bait, and two are protecting them there.

It would be great if our side had three fighter jets. Unfortunately, no matter how superb their skills were, they would never be able to hide three fighter jets under one passenger plane.

This is a last resort.

After Jon continued to fly with the passenger plane for more than ten seconds, he finally decided that he should attack!

Even if the escorted fighter jet is shot down, I will kill the early warning aircraft!

Jon gritted his teeth and pushed down the operating lever. The hidden F-15 fighter jet revealed its original appearance.

Now, the distance between him and the early warning aircraft is 150 kilometers. He only needs to fly for three minutes to reach the attack position at 50 kilometers, and then launch his own missiles and attack!

Under his wings, four AIM-120 missiles were mounted, four of the first ten missiles that were urgently transported from the United States.

After learning that Iraq has an active radar-guided medium-range missile, facing the current situation in Israel, the United States finally began to export such missiles to Israel in advance. At the same time, the US Air Force in Israel, which has not been put into combat, has also begun to replace it with such missiles.

The mission of this attack is the most important. As the main attacker, Jon, his fighter aircraft is equipped with this missile.

Seeing the light spot separated from the passenger plane again, Sartre knew that the cunning opponent had finally appeared.

With the transmission of commands on the data link, the other two fighter jets escorted came forward, and they would not give Israeli aircraft a chance to attack.

After leaving the passenger plane, Jon turned on his airborne radar and used the radar to scan the surrounding airspace. He immediately discovered his target and the Iraqi fighter jet that rushed up.

For him, the problem he faced was that if he wanted to attack the early warning aircraft, he had to knock out the two planes in front of him, and the time left for him was very short.

And killing the two planes flying in front is not a good deal for Jon in a one-on-two situation.

However, Jon was not afraid because his fighter jets, after being equipped with the AIM-120 missile, would have a new capability: multi-target combat capability.

Although Jon's F-15 fighter jets are equipped with the most advanced APG-70 radar, they did not have this ability at the beginning.

It is actually not easy to let the airborne radar control multiple missiles at the same time and hit multiple targets in the air. Although the F-14 fighter has the ability to attack six targets at the same time after carrying the Immortal Missile missile, it is just a product measured on the shooting range. In actual complex electromagnetic confrontation and the complex maneuver of enemy aircraft, hitting multiple targets at the same time is just a propaganda benefit.

For F-15 fighter jets, if you want to achieve multi-target attack, you need to use TWS (tracking and scanning mode). However, pilots cannot use this mode when guiding missiles because it cannot guide the AIM-7 missile of semi-active radar, and can only use the RWS (range-based search) mode. This mode has a small field of view and cannot provide more information.

However, AIM-120 can use this mode to attack.

Advanced weapons are not only available in Iraq, but even if you look around the world, the United States is always the most advanced weapon!

After Jon adjusted the radar to this mode, he began to use the aperture to trap the two light spots in the monitor below. As long as it is trapped, it means that it will lock the other party.

First, give them a missile and kill them. The early warning aircraft will be their own midnight snack!

Jon kept shouting in his heart, comeon, comeon!

Finally, Lockon's signal was displayed on the panel, and he had successfully locked it!

Then, flames flashed under the wings, illuminating the dark sky, and two AIM-120 missiles were launched.

At this time, the distance between the two sides is 50 kilometers.

The AIM-120 is a newly developed air-to-air missile. This missile uses a new rocket engine, resulting in a maximum power range of 80 kilometers, while in reality, it can have a head-on range of 50 kilometers.

However, the Sky Flash Missile was improved from the Sparrow Missile. Although the engine has also been improved, the maximum head-on launch range will not exceed forty kilometers.

In this case, Jon temporarily had the advantage and took the lead in launching the missile he carried, and adopted the boldest method of attacking two targets at the same time.

The radar beams are constantly scanning the airspace, while the onboard computers are operating at high speed, constantly providing guidance data for the missiles.

When the headphones heard the locked signal, the Iraqi pilots knew that they were in trouble this time.

At this time, they were also ready to launch, but it was not yet time to launch missiles.

The speed of missiles is faster than that of aircraft. So, can they continue to fly forward and then launch missiles? What they rely on is that their missiles are actively guided in the final stage, so as long as they send the missiles to the active distance, they can maneuver and get rid of them.

While hesitating, the early warning aircraft command came, causing them to immediately turn to 90 degrees and fly in two directions.

An important role of early warning aircraft is to command air combat. When the missile fired by the Israeli aircraft was discovered, Sartre's eyes and pupils immediately dilated.

A fighter jet guides two missiles at the same time, which has almost never appeared before.

The most common F-14 Tomcat fighter of the US Navy with this capability, however, the first is that the United States did not deploy this fighter to the Middle East, and Israel did not equip this fighter. Second, if it is the F-14, then the Immortal Missile it carries can be launched within a hundred kilometers, and there is no need to risk its death to run to such a close distance.

Then, there is only another possibility, that is the new weapon system!

Iraq has never been a closed-door car. They often communicate with the outside world, such as the Saudi Air Force or the Western world. Sartre also knows that the United States has a new air-to-air missile that has entered service, but it has not been exported to Israel. However, it seems that it is very likely that the Israelis have obtained this advanced missile and are mounted on their F-15 fighter jets! (To be continued.
