Chapter 465: Solve the large warships of the Iranians
Outside the Gulf of Oman, an e2 Hawkeye Early Warning Aircraft of the US Navy is conducting remote monitoring.
The US Navy is full of disdain and jealousy for this formation that is undergoing exercises.
The roar of the plane echoed on the sea. The plane flew so low and the noise was so loud that the fish under the sea were also scared and disappeared. If they had command, they would definitely feel fear of the huge anti-ship missile above their heads.
Although according to intelligence, the Iranians did not arrange warning radars on the coastline, the Iranians would definitely monitor this exercise by the peninsula defense forces in the Gulf of Oman, because this exercise was originally intended for the Iranians to see, and the Iranians would likely find these dying fighter jets. Therefore, after flying out of the exercise area, Phoebir's formation dropped to an extremely low altitude of 50 meters.
After the Iran-Iraq War, the combat effectiveness of the Iraqi Air Force has reached one level, or even several steps. It is not difficult to perform such ultra-low-altitude flight missions. Compared with the low-altitude flights that once flew in the Iranian mountains, this is nothing at all.
Flying at ultra-low altitudes and using the curves of the earth to avoid radar detection is a common method of air strike, but it is completely ineffective for early warning aircraft in the sky.
The early warning aircraft is condescending and overlooking the earth. Those ultra-low-altitude fighters cannot escape the early warning aircraft's sharp eyes. As long as the interference of ground clutter is solved, this is a very effective way to deal with ultra-low-altitude fighters.
The e2 early warning machine has developed to this day and is already a relatively mature early warning machine.
Now, three operators on the early warning plane are monitoring the exercise.
Due to the last incident, the US Navy made a regression. Moreover, the last time it was just an Iraqi fighter jet, but now it has troops from all countries. Therefore, the US Navy did not take off the fighter jets and approached surveillance again. If it repeated the mistaken attack, I wonder if there would be good luck from the last time.
The radar operator stared at the large screen on the console in front of him, and several highlights caught his attention.
Several exercise planes left the exercise area and began to fly eastward.
He couldn't help laughing: "This peninsula defense force has really strong combat effectiveness. He took off several fighter jets to form an air-to-ground joint, but now he has been flew away. I don't know if it is a fighter jet of the Saudi Air Force or an Iraqi Air Force."
They are all naval, knowing that during the flight at sea, the world is blue, and over time, it is easy to have illusions. {http:

For the Iraqi Air Force, which has been flying over land, rarely flying on the sea, and has never reached the Gulf of Oman, although the quality of their pilots is not low, this kind of trek will also happen.
Waiting to watch the show, because I was unable to enter the Persian Gulf and could only watch it outside, I felt a little depressed. I wished that this miscellaneous naval force would be too ugly.
The combat intelligence officer looked at the screen and suddenly felt a strange feeling that these fighter planes were not like Trek, but more like they were flying consciously in that direction.
He suddenly woke up. That direction was the direction of Iran's Chahbahar Port!
At this time, the light spots on the screen suddenly began to climb higher.
Having entered the range, Phoebeer ordered the formation: "Prepare to climb high. Turn on the fire control radar."
The entire formation immediately began to climb quickly from sea level dozens of meters high.
Phoebill turned on the "Silano" iv fire control radar. After a bright line on the radar screen swept through, some highlights suddenly appeared.
That is a warship inside the port of Chahbahar!
At this time, the distance from the opponent has reached ninety kilometers. At this distance, it is very certain to launch anti-ship missiles.
The radar began to work hard to calculate the opponent's position, provide initial data for the missile's launch, and at the same time, through the data link, the targets that need to be attacked are allocated to other people in the formation.
Because you can only attack one target at a time, and in order to improve the effect of the attack, Phoebill chose two volleys.
Phoebeer chose the biggest target, which was a Babur-class destroyer.
After a few seconds, the fire control system of Phantom F1 has completed all the preparations for launch. Phoebill did not hesitate and placed his hand on the launch button.
Suddenly, he felt a trembling wing.
Two huge anti-ship missiles, the mounting mechanism was unlocked, and the missile fell from the wings. Then, the engine began to ignite, the missile adjusted its posture and flew forward.
Other aircraft in the formation have also completed preparations for launching missiles.
Eight anti-ship missiles flew towards the port of Chahbahar. Apart from them, only the American early warning aircraft discovered this situation.
When eight smaller light spots were suddenly separated from the four light spots, the combat intelligence officer's pupils suddenly became smaller: these four fighter jets launched eight missiles at a time, needless to say, they must be anti-ship missiles!
Where do they want to attack? He looked again and saw that there could only be one location, the port of Chahbahar in the southeast corner of Iran!
However, this distance has exceeded 80 kilometers. Iraq's most advanced anti-ship missile is the Feiyu missile imported from France. However, Feiyu missiles definitely do not have such a long range.
Is it just an exercise for them?
impossible!
The beautiful Chah Bahar, also known as Chabahar, means that all seasons are like spring. This port is the largest seaport at Iran's exit from the Persian Gulf and an important military base in Iran. In later generations, Iran's most important Kilo-class submarine imported from Russia was deployed here.
Since I learned that Iraq had the Flying Fish Missile, after personally savoring the loss and being sunk by the shameful Iraqi Air Force with the Flying Fish Missile, Iran has consciously transferred all its main naval ships here.
This place is very far away from Iraq, and Iraq's planes will never threaten this place, so it has never entered a state of war readiness.
In the Persian Gulf, due to its narrowness, such large warships will not have much effect except for their larger targets. On the contrary, high-speed speed boats of about a few hundred tons have a larger use. Although the Babur-class has air defense missiles, it will definitely not withstand the attacks of the Iraqi Air Force.
What they didn't expect was that they had retreated here, and the Iraqis would not let them go!
Although I know that Arab countries have joined forces to conduct maritime military exercises, Iran does not want to join in the fun, because this exercise is a joint sea and air force. They have a large number of anti-ship missiles. If the ships of the Iranian Navy are deployed, it will definitely become their target, especially the Iraqi Air Force. The Iranians believe that the Iraqi Air Force will definitely do that.
To bear, you must hold it back! Rafsanjani gave this order to Chah Bahar's navy.
Therefore, the navy personnel guarded the most powerful warships of the Iranian Navy and watched the Arab countries show their power in the Gulf of Oman, which made them angry.
On a Bapur-class warship, the captain stood on the deck, looked at the sea in the distance, felt the hot sea breeze blowing on his face, but felt a little depressed in his heart.
Due to the failure of the war, Iran's national strength became weaker and weaker, and the huge navy had never received much funding. Many equipment on its warships should be repaired and replaced. Because some officers were cleaned up during the revolution, the Navy, a technical branch, began to be out of reach. In short, the navy's combat effectiveness declined rapidly.
It’s time to go to Tehran and apply for some funds from your superiors. At least you have to prepare all the staff for yourself?
In later history, the Iranian Navy did not perform very well during the entire Iran-Iraq War, which is also one of the reasons why people jokingly call it a low-tech war with high-tech weapons.
However, the captain didn't know that the great Iraqi Lord Kusai had helped him find a solution: instead of staying here and rusting, these warships would rather give up completely.
After launching the anti-ship missile, Phoebeer's formation began to return. The results of the battle will be confirmed by the subsequent MiG25 reconnaissance aircraft with a large range.
Eight anti-ship missiles are still flying according to the procedures. Because the sea surface is very low, they automatically descend to a sea-skipping flight altitude of 20 meters, flying at a speed of Mach 0.9, and attacking targets 80 kilometers away, only about five minutes of flight.
Their performance has always been monitored by early warning aircraft. The combat intelligence officers on the early warning aircraft confirmed that they were indeed flying into the Iranian port of Chakhbahar. If this is true, this kind of anti-ship missile has far exceeded the range of Feiyu missile. Could it be the Chinese C801? Or the new anti-ship missile developed by Iraq itself?
You should know that at present, the US Navy's anti-ship missiles and the Harpoon series have just been equipped with troops and have not yet been tested in actual combat. The air-launched range is only more than 100 kilometers. The anti-ship missiles equipped by Iraq have caught up with the advanced level of the United States.
What's even more terrifying is that if this missile really exists, it would be dangerous to make Iraqi fighter jets within 100 kilometers of the US Navy's ships.
The last time I accidentally attacked a fighter plane, what if the next time I accidentally attacked a warship? Thinking of the tragedy of the British Type 42 destroyer Scherfid in the Cabernet War, the combat intelligence officers began to worry.
The missile was still flying, and soon entered the final attack stage. The guided radar on the end of the missile was turned on and immediately discovered the target set earlier. At this time, the distance was only five kilometers.
The anti-ship missile made the final action according to the procedure: snake-shaped maneuver. (To be continued...)
