Chapter 316: Red Bird 2, launch! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

As the air raid sirens sounded, the air force base near Tehran, Iran immediately became nervous.

Although it was late at night, they did not relax their war preparations at all, because they were guarding the sky of the capital of Iran!

With the alarm, Karatbari and Norroz ran out of the preparation room, followed by their radar operators and rushed to the two tomcats at the end of the runway that were ready to take off at any time.

The huge tomcat stopped there quietly, with its wings spreading, like an eagle, spreading its wings to fly at any time.

The runway lights at the airport have been turned on, and the T-shaped runway is a bit dazzling.

The four of them ran, pulling the zipper in their flight suits, holding their helmets' hands, and constantly jogging.

This time it was an emergency takeoff, and Iraqi planes came to bomb at night!

Where did Iraq's planes come from? Why didn't other radars discover it? None of these matters. As long as the tomcat can take off and use its powerful radar to scan it clearly, you can see the surrounding airspace clearly.

Several people stepped into the cockpit, and although they were still breathing, they were already sitting in the seat, putting on their helmets, and preparing for an emergency departure.

The power supply car did not drive over, and they used the precious power supply provided by the plane to start the engine.

When the ground crew moved the escalator, all two engines had been successfully launched.

"Report, the eagle requests takeoff."

"Report, the vulture requests takeoff."

“Can take off.”

The two fighter jets turned on the aftergrowth. Suddenly, in the dark night, the lilac flames were very dazzling. Their tenacious style was vividly displayed at this time. On such nights, they actually took off in a two-plane formation!

Two planes and four flames began to run faster and faster under the light markings on both sides of the runway. Finally, they left the runway and climbed up quickly.

The two Tomcats each carried two precious Immortal long-range missiles, two Sparrow medium-range air-to-air missiles and two Rattlesnake short-range missiles.

After they took off, two F-4 fighter jets also took off urgently.

At present, there are only a dozen Tomcat fighter jets that can take off in the Iranian Air Force, and the two in the best condition are the two in the best condition. The rest are still maintained in the hangar. Because they cannot get accessories, many have to be donated as organs to supply other fighter jets. If there are enough spare parts, Iran's Tomcats can maintain a scale of at least more than 40!

Now, the most powerful air force in the Middle East is already at its weakest moment.

However, although there are few fighter jets, they will never allow their airspace to be invaded by the Iraqi Air Force, especially in an important place like Tehran!

Phoebeer had no idea that the action they had carefully prepared was discovered by the old man on the ground. This was simply an insult to modern technology.

Designing unique routes, sailing at low altitudes, or at night, avoiding the other party's radar, they have tried their best.

However, it was precisely because of flying at low altitude and avoiding the opponent's radar that they flew over the sky near Coomb.

It was already three o'clock in the morning, and it was the time for ordinary people to sleep well. Yes, the highest spiritual leader of Iran, a god-like figure, actually had insomnia and did not sleep late at night. He insisted on going outside to look at the stars and staring at the sky, and even called thinking.

As a result, I was discovered by others.

The night flight plane is flying at a low altitude, and the speed is fast. The sound of passing through the air and the tail flame behind it are still obvious if someone deliberately observes it.

Since there is no early warning aircraft support, they don’t know that the other party has discovered that the fighter jets have taken off urgently and come to intercept. You must know that they are not now equipped with air-optimal mounts with 530 missiles, but are mounted to the ground, and there is no escort of heavy fighter jets.

However, the danger did not happen because the two missiles under their wings were enough for them to launch outside the defense zone!

At this time, there are still 120 kilometers away from the target.

"Squadron pilots, we have entered range, finally check and prepare for launch!" Phoebeer shouted in the radio.

This bombing was actually very easy. To put it bluntly, they seemed to be truck drivers and just needed to transport the missiles. Because the missile range was not enough, the preparations before launch were all for safety reasons, because where to launch a cruise missile, it had nothing to do with them.

Before launch, technicians had already inputted all the information into the Phantom F1's airborne computer, and the brain of the Red Bird II cruise missile also stored the target geographic information during the flight for use by the terrain matching system.

After the Phantom F1 takes off, the inertial platform of each Red Bird 2 missile is automatically aligned with the inertial navigation system on the carrier to jointly determine the data in flight. After entering the launch area, the onboard computer injects the data before launch into the missile, calculates the flight orbit, and can launch it.

The most difficult thing to obtain is the data map of the terrain matching system. In later generations, most of the practices were to scan the earth in all aspects through remote sensing satellites in space to obtain all information. However, Iraq at this time definitely did not have this strength.

Zhang Feng had no choice but to buy the remote sensing images around Tehran from China in the name of experimental cruise missiles through relationships, especially Mr. Liang, who is still in Iraq.

Because of Mr. Liang and the images of Tehran will not pose any threat to China, these images were obtained without too much trouble.

In 1966, China's FSW series return satellite began to be developed. The first FSW-1 satellite was successfully launched and successfully recovered in 1975. The subsequent launches obtained the highest resolution satellite photos of China at that time and obtained a large amount of image data in the target area. Although it was not as advanced as in Europe and the United States, it was also sufficient for Red Bird II to use.

The onboard computer completed a series of tasks, and the pilots pressed the launch button in turn.

Because the missile is too heavy, it is not ignited directly on the wings. The missile leaves the pylon and falls down a few meters before the engine starts to ignite.

In the dark night sky, it seemed like a sudden fireworks and bright flames made the pilot feel uncomfortable.

The Eight Red Bird 2 ignited the fire in turn and started its significant attack!

Redbird 2, launch!

Now, the Red Bird 2, which has a range of 120 kilometers, has a short legs, is definitely enough!

The eight missiles were divided into two directions and two batches, flying towards the designated targets in the distance.

After the engine was ignited, the missile accelerated to Mach 0.8, lowered to eighty meters, and entered the first phase of flight.

After launching the missile, the formation immediately returned.

At this time, two F-14 fighter jets had left the airport and got into the vast night.

Where are the enemies? Although there is darkness everywhere, you will be pulled out!

The long-distance Karatbari quickly climbed to a height of 5,000 meters. The radar officer in the rear cabin turned on the radar and began to search the surrounding airspace. The West was the closest place to Iraq. They first searched the Western airspace and found no situation.

Then Karatbari turned left and turned south, and heard the radar officer in the back seat shouting: "Discover the target, four planes, at six o'clock, with a distance of one hundred and altitude of two thousand, they have returned!"

The powerful awg-9 radar on the Tomcat fighter can find fighter-sized targets at a distance of 160 kilometers, and finally discovered the opponent's fighter. Although he didn't understand why the opponent returned before bombing, Karatbari did not intend to let the opponent go.

"Vulture, prepare to lock in the target," he said to another wingman.

Wingman Norodz also found the target, and he replied calmly: "I understand!"

At this time, the distance between the two sides is only the maximum range of the Immortal Missile. Therefore, although missiles can be launched now, the missile will not be reached as long as the other party does a few maneuvering actions.

If you want to hit the opponent, you have to speed up!

The two fighter jets opened up their afterburners, and the wings swept back to the innermost position, like a sprinting eagle, rushing towards the enemy in the dark!

At the same time, the Phantom F1 fighter also received the unique radar signal characteristics of the Tomcat fighter.

Tomcat! Phoebeer knew that the trouble was so big that they did not carry the Super Matra 530 missile that could deal with Tomcats, but only leaned on the short-range air-to-air missile. In such dark night, the effect was almost zero.

I really didn't expect that the other party would come out so quickly! According to the pre-plan, their actions would not attract the attention of the Iranian Air Force at all. How did they discover themselves?

There is no time to think about these questions now, and the only thing they are grateful for is that the distance between the two sides is relatively far.

"Open the afterburner and get out quickly!" Phoebill ordered in the radio.

Run! Run back to Iraq!

However, compared with the variable swept-wing fighter with twin-engine, it is very easy to accelerate to two Machs, while the single-engine Phantom F1 takes a certain amount of time. Moreover, the Phantom F1 is at a low altitude and has great air resistance.

As long as the distance between the two sides is close to 80 kilometers, they can launch the Immortal Missile!

Norroz accelerated with the flames of the long tail nozzle. This silent battle in the dark is even more exciting.

Suddenly, the radar officer in the rear cabin said: "Report, the radar found that there were eight suspicious targets flying towards Tehran at a low altitude!"

Oops, I was fooled! The pilot of the long-distance aircraft, Karat Barry, thought that the planes above were tempting themselves, and the real danger was the fighter planes below!

Due to the advanced radar, the AWG-9 radar can distinguish low-altitude penetration aircraft from low-altitude ground clutter. Just now, when the radar officer used TWS (tracking and scanning) mode to scan the airspace ahead, he found that there were even opponents' planes in the low altitude!

"Vulture, at nine o'clock, let's deal with the Iraqi planes first!" Karatbari said, notifying the two F-4 fighters that took off later to intercept them together.
