Chapter 633 Intercept Figure-22M
"The target is divided into four batches, each batch of four aircraft, and is flying north along the border. The 135th Squadron is paying close attention to flying around our airspace. As long as the opponent crosses the border, he is ready to fight at any time." The early warning aircraft issued an order to one of its own f-15 fighter jet squadrons.
"I understand." The squadron leader received the order from the radio, and then the entire squadron quickly moved closer to the national border and was ready to fight at any time. The missiles under the wings emitted dazzling light in the sun.
"Note," another early warning aircraft was also sending an alarm over the Mediterranean: "Two suspicious targets flew from the northwest, three hundred kilometers away from us. The 128th Squadron went closer to observe and remained restrained."
Those two planes are likely to be two Soviet Tu-22m flying from the Black Sea. The Israeli Air Force has to rely on it to observe, and at the same time, it cannot attack rashly, because now it is on the high seas and anyone can fly.
The F-15 fighter of the 128th Squadron immediately accelerated and flew towards the target in the distance. The missiles carried by the other party had a maximum range of 500 kilometers. They needed to intercept the opponent's flight 500 kilometers away from their key targets, and observe the opponent's actions at any time. If the opponent fired missiles, then they would never let those two planes go!
At the same time, they carefully bypassed the Soviet naval formations in the Mediterranean to prevent too much friction with them.
Many wars have forged a powerful Israeli air force. No matter what kind of dilemma they face, they will never be afraid or lose their fighting spirit. They are the invincible Eagle of David!
Under the gaze of observers from various countries, the ground forces in the Arab army also began to dispatch themselves.
This long-range ground raid has two directions. Iraqi armored divisions and Saudi armored divisions are the main force of the assault. Tanks, as the king of land warfare, have a large-scale attack of this armored force. In the observer's telescope, they saw a shocking scene. Countless steel monsters roared forward on the ground, smoke came out of the exhaust pipe at the tail, and the gun barrel in front was high. They began to assault forward!
The Iraqi armored divisions, at the forefront is their new T-72 tank, which is equipped with a new high-power engine, shows its tough side, with excellent acceleration performance and high off-road speed.
Following behind was the Type 69 tank imported by Iraq from the Eastern Powers, and the tracks rolled over the land. The ground was broken and the round turret was pointed forward.
Behind the tank assault cluster is the Type 63 armored vehicles. The infantry are fighting with tanks, and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns are accompanying both sides of the cluster. Carrying air alerts and walking at the end is Iraq's 122mm self-propelled howitzer.
From the outsider's perspective, this is very imposing, but these are not favored by observers from Western countries. As long as there are a few brigades of armed helicopters, they can be beaten to pieces.
Just as these observers were despising themselves, a rumbling sound came from above their heads.
They looked up and saw those huge helicopters. They were the Mi-24 helicopters of the Soviet Union!
With the increase in the number of imported helicopters from Iraq, Kusai has begun to equip armed helicopters in the armored divisions, giving ground troops iron wings to fly.
The Mi-24 helicopter has been painted as a desert wavy. At the mouth below is the multi-barrel machine gun. Under the short wings on both sides, there are multiple rocket launch nests and anti-tank missiles. They quickly passed by in the sky and disappeared into the telescopes of the ground observers.
On the other hand, there are Saudi armored divisions, which are equipped with all M60a3 tanks. This tank was ordered by Saudi Arabia from the United States last year. Now, all of them are equipped with their ace armored divisions. In the future, the main force of the Saudi Army will be the same T-72 tank as Iraq.
"Dear observers, welcome to take the helicopter we provide to watch our exercise in the air," said Prince Sultan.
Now, the tank troops are already advancing, and they want to see the situation of the troops, only through helicopters.
At this time, it is very dangerous to ride a helicopter. It is not the accidental injury during the exercise. The air confrontation has ended now and is an attack on the ground. However, the area where they exercise is at the junction with Israel. The Israeli Air Force is ready to fight fire at any time.
If both sides really fight, the Israeli plane is not eye-catching and the helicopter they are riding down, it will be no fun.
"It is the most intuitive to see from the air. Don't you want to watch it on the spot?" Prince Sultan said: "I'm going to set off right away."
When they heard such a Saudi Minister of Defense, His Highness the Prince was going up, everyone felt that if they didn't go, they would have some courage.
Although they have long passed the age of being a hero, now, with personnel from all countries, they must not lose the majesty of a soldier and the ambition of their own country.
The members of the observation group of the Oriental Powers said first: "We request to follow His Highness the Prince to watch on the same plane."
Then the French made a statement, and the British also said to go up and take a look.
Only Americans remain, William felt a little wrong. The identities of those personnel were not as important as him. He was the deputy secretary of the US Department of Defense, but now, he had to follow him, otherwise he would be ridiculed by countries like Britain and France, especially the French.
The group of people got on the two large helicopters staying outside together. William chose to take the same helicopter as Sultan.
Israel's early warning aircraft have been monitoring the exercises of Arab countries. Now, their ground forces have also been dispatched, and their pressure has reached its maximum.
In the west, over the Mediterranean, Israel's early warning aircraft have flew more than 100 kilometers away from the coastline. Their F-15 squadron is moving towards the two flying UFOs.
"Israeli plane is coming." At this time, the airborne radar on the Tu-22m plane also noticed the other party flying in, and the radar operator said.
"Prepare to use our specialty!" The Soviet pilot said something that had been held back for a long time. Passengers, we are going to drive!
The variable sweep wing of the Tu-22m aircraft began to shrink the angle. At the same time, the flame of the engine at the tail became stronger, and more than 200 kN of thrust burst out. The plane began to accelerate. Then, the pilot pushed the operating rod forward and the plane began to dive down.
As a bomber with a maximum take-off weight of more than 100 tons, the operation method is similar to a large passenger aircraft. The operating rod is used to hold the vertical handle with both hands. When pushing forward, the aircraft will bow its head.
On the narrow glass in front, a blue sea appeared.
Tu-22m is a key bomber in the Soviet Union. One of its very important capabilities is low-altitude large-meter speed penetration!
Faced with the increasingly serious threat of ground air defense fire, it is a very important performance to quickly pass over the target and quickly drop bombs. Although the missile mounted under the Tu-22m has a range of 500 kilometers, low-altitude and high-speed penetration can still minimize the probability of the carrier being discovered.
In the rectangular air intake channels on both sides, a large flow of air was sucked into the engine, and the air on the face became denser, but the speed of the 22m was still increasing!
"Note that the other party has entered a low altitude, turn on the radar and search for the target." The commander inside the early warning aircraft shouted.
The other party had already entered a low altitude, and the speed was very fast! They knew that the other party was flying at a low altitude and high speed. What did the Soviets want to do?
The pilot of the f-15 quickly turned on the radar and finally saw the highlight on the radar screen. At this time, the other party was only thirty kilometers away from him!
"Be careful, prepare to turn." said the long aircraft of the f-15. Now, both sides are flying head-on. At such a fast speed, a distance of dozens of kilometers will roar past.
That highlight is still accelerating and lowering the altitude!
The pilot of the long aircraft pressed the operating rod and flew sideways. He saw the figure of the plane flashing past outside the glass of the bubble cockpit.
Tu-22m, has already flown under his wings!
"Steer, chase." The pilot of the long aircraft slowed down, pressed the slope, pulled the rod and urged the rudder, and made a rapid steering. The huge overload pressed him on the seat and couldn't move. Even the muscles on his face were pulled and hurt.
As a heavy air combat fighter, the performance of the F-15 is excellent. The combined effect of the two vertical tail rudders, coupled with the centripetal force provided by the wing tilt, the fighter is turning with an almost minimum radius, and then returns to the route just now.
Turn on the extra force and catch up! What exactly does the Soviets want to do! The pilot of the F-15 was very angry. If it was an aircraft from any other country, then he might have no hesitation to lock the other side with radar and launch missiles. However, it was an aircraft from the Soviet Union. At this most tense moment, he had to be careful that a head-on military conflict with the Soviet Union would definitely not be in Israel's interests. If the Soviet Union participated in it personally, coupled with the army attacks of Arab countries, Israel might really be at a deadly critical moment.
During the Cold War, there were many confrontations between the United States and the Soviet Union, but both sides would be very restrained in the danger of provoking such a level of conflict and breaking out of a world war.
What's more, the airspace they are now still above the high seas.
The four f-15 fighter jets quickly returned, and finally caught up with the ultra-low-altitude bomber. The Israeli pilot began to admire the Soviets. When flying such a large aircraft, the other party actually flew to an altitude of 100 meters above the sea level, and now it has reached Mach 0.9!
You can fly lower! The pilot of the f-15 fighter jet pressed the operating rod and flew to an extremely low altitude of 80 meters. Then, he saw the big guy mounted on the belly of the other party. It was a missile! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
