Chapter 458 Search and Rescue Pilots Overboard

"The crow was shot down." After the chief aircraft Medellin dodged the missile, he saw the fireball below, and his eyes turned bloody.

Regardless of the reason, the US Navy was shot down and they had to get it back!

On the early warning plane, the disappearance of the light spot was already seen, and at the same time, the battle situation was sent back to the aircraft carrier in time.

"Take off four fighter jets from the 111th Fighter Squadron immediately." The captain finally issued an order: "Order the Blue Bird to return, take off a hh-60h Black Hawk rescue helicopter, and search and rescue our fall-in pilot."

On the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier, there are a total of two F-14 fighter squadrons. However, unlike the ground structure, one fighter squadron of the aircraft carrier has ten fighters.

Hearing that the captain finally ordered the takeoff of the fighter plane, the deputy captain breathed a sigh of relief. However, at this time, his fighter plane had been shot down by the other party. It would be great if he could take off earlier!

He had no idea that the captain asked to take off now just to protect the face of the US Navy.

Now, the United States must not directly fight Iraq. This time it was just a mistaken injury, and he must remain restrained.

If the other party was the Soviet Air Force and had destroyed one of his fighter jets, he would have ordered all the fighter squadrons on the aircraft carrier to take off. Although both sides had to be extremely restrained against the Soviets, if the other party opened fire first, he would definitely not be vague. But now, he cannot do that.

However, the dignity of the US Navy cannot be lost, so he delayed the takeoff. He hoped that by the time his fighter plane arrived in the airspace, the other party might have already flew away.

It's all the fault of that damn pilot, letting him monitor, not letting him get into the air with the other party (--The fastest update of the house

) Confrontation, as a result, if such a big accident occurs, even the captain himself cannot bear this responsibility. He must report to the superiors and see the arrangements above.

In short, verbal wars are indispensable. And really starting a war for this incident? Thinking of the Soviet ships that were still in the Arabian Sea, the captain shook his head.

The United States' opponent is not Iraq.

"Plop!" John fell into the water, making him feel very lucky. Because the weather is very warm now, the sea water is no longer very cold. Otherwise, the first survival problem he faced was cold.

As a naval pilot, this kind of survival training at sea is something John must do.

The moment he fell into the water, the parachute had been cut off automatically, and the navy's specially equipped sea life-saving equipment had begun to work. The automatically inflatable boat was already waiting for him in the sea water not far from John.

John swam a few times, climbed up the boat hard, and looked at the surrounding circle of sea water that had been dyed with dye, and the help equipment was sending out a signal automatically. All he needed to do now was to wait.

Thinking that I was still soaring in the sky a minute ago, but now I have fallen to the ground, it is all good things done by Iraqis! John was extremely angry. He just locked the other party and did not really launch a missile. Next time, I will definitely not be so polite!

He raised his middle finger at the fighter planes flying through the sky... and shot down one enemy plane, and the other one has returned. Are you chasing it?" Phoebeer asked in the radio.

At this time, Hamad's fighter squadron had also rushed to the airspace where the air combat occurred.

"No need to pursue, continue to be alert to the air," Hamad said.

On Hamad's radar screen, he also saw the fighter jet flying away in the direction of the outskirts, proving that the other party is likely to be a fighter jet of the US Navy. However, Hamad doesn't care so much. His main thing now is to complete the escort mission.

Just as they were fighting air battles with Tomcats, the bombing of the ground was already underway. Iraq's bomber group launched violent bombings on the east coast of Iran and targets attacking civilian ships.

Suddenly, several highlights appeared on Hamad's radar screen.

This time, there are four fighter jets, and the arrival is not good, and it is likely that the US Navy has revenge!

"Be careful of the formation, enemy planes approach us and prepare for medium-range bombs." Hamad said.

At this time, the electronic equipment of the Phantom F1 fighter jet received the radar signal of the awg-9 again.

War hangs on the front line.

"111 Fighter Squadron, please return with the Blue Birds, please return with the Blue Birds." Just after the four Tomcat fighters carrying the Immortal Birds took off in revenge and passed by the fighter jet on their side that was very embarrassed by the missiles, the pilots of the fighter jets were all angry, hoping to avenge the fighter jets they shot down. However, at this time, an order was sent to make them return.

"Return to the formation." The squadron leader gave the order.

Four F-14 fighter jets in diamond formations drew a curve in the air, turned half a circle, and began to return.

Hamad breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately, the other party flew away. Otherwise, if they fought, their missiles would be farther than the opponent's dying birds. If they did not fight, the fighters behind that were bombing the target would be in danger.

Unexpectedly, the other party flew away.

Sultan had been worried that when he heard that the Iraqi pilots ahead actually fired missiles and shot down an aircraft, he had to hope that it was not an American fighter plane. Otherwise, the Americans would have sufficient reasons to enter the Persian Gulf.

But Kusai has always been confident, which makes Sultan feel that this young man really has a sense of courage, and he is already old.

Because Kusai is confident, the Americans will never do anything to Iraq.

In the later history of the Iraq-Iraq War, Saddam did a lot of attacks on the United States, using the Phantom F1 fighter jet to launch two flying fish and hit the USS Stark missile frigate, which was severely damaged and 37 people died. Afterwards, Iraq insisted that it was a mistaken attack and the United States did not investigate it in depth.

Then, Iraq used the H-6 bomber to launch the C601 air-launched missile, aiming at the American Ticonderoga-class Aegis missile cruiser in the Daman Harbor in Saudi Arabia, but did not hit the target.

Of course, Iraq's propaganda was another accidental injury.

Although Iraq accidentally injured American warships several times, the Americans did not investigate it in depth, because Iran is the current enemy of the United States. Iran has done earth-shaking major events that make Americans hate them. In contrast, Iraq accidentally injured friendly forces, whoever made them not reveal their identity, Iraq just thought it was attacking Iranian fighter jets.

Of course, in terms of diplomacy, Iraq can be more low-key. After all, it is shot down by other people's fighter jets, which also makes people feel psychological comfort.

Of course, in order to show friendship, Iraq needs help rescue the two brothers who fell into the water.

"Your Highness, your country's frigate, should be in that area? The helicopter on the Aibha can help search for the pilots who jumped? We can confirm whether the shot down is an Iranian or an American." Kusai said.

"Okay, no problem." Prince Sultan said, but he was almost confident that it was American fighter jets. If they could search and rescue the other side's pilot, it would be helpful to solve the problem at that time.

The waters where John crashed were in the Gulf of Oman outside the Strait of Hormuz. Here, after escorting formations experienced last night's thrills, they had not returned to the interior of the Persian Gulf again, and many ships outside were also waiting to enter the Persian Gulf under the protection of the peninsula defense forces.

On the Aibuha, Major General Talar recalled his experience last night. The Sea Rattlesnake missile showed great power in actual combat and successfully intercepted the missiles launched by the Iranians. However, it also showed shortcomings and could not fight multiple missiles at the same time. At the last moment, it was too dangerous. Without the electronic interference provided by Iraq, the escort mission could not be completed at all.

"Reported, the command sent an order to take off the helicopter and go to the waters fifty kilometers away to search for parachuting pilots." At this time, a telegraph soldier came in and reported.

"Okay, order the helicopter to take off immediately," said Talar.

Since it was a large-scale air raid by the Iraqi Air Force, they were also ready to search and rescue the parachuting pilot in case of any accident.

However, he did not expect that it was not the Iraqi pilots who were going to search and rescue, but the Americans.

On the short deck at the rear of the Aibuha, a French Aerospace sa365f dolphin helicopter is slowly leaving the flight deck...dolphin helicopter,

The fuselage is 13.74 meters long and 4.01 meters high. It has four main propellers. The tail adopts a chassis tail rotor. It is a prototype of China's Zhiniao. It has two crew members, a maximum take-off weight of 4.1 tons, a maximum speed of 296 kilometers per hour, a practical ceiling of 4,575 meters, and a range of 865 kilometers. It is equipped with two power 515 kilowatt engines. As an anti-ship anti-submarine type, it is equipped with a sea search radar in the front, with sonar buoys and magnetic detectors. The main weapons are mk44/46 torpedoes and 4 missiles. In addition, there are searchlights, ** navigation systems, automatic hovering devices, conversion couplers and rescue winches.

It is still possible to perform this kind of search and rescue mission occasionally.

At this time, the Blackhawk helicopter that took off from the US aircraft carrier in the rear was still one hundred kilometers away, and the helicopter was too slow.

John was waiting boredly, and he had to wait this way. He could not leave this sea area, as it would lead to the loss of his target by search and rescue personnel. The further he left, the harder it would be to be rescued.

Even if it is only fifty kilometers away from the shore, a small boat that is inflatable is an unimaginable task.

However, he didn't wait long before he heard the sound of the helicopter propeller stirring the air in the sky. (To be continued... rq
