Chapter 638 Destruction of Dimona Base (4)

:.       The pilots of the f-15 fighter discovered the missiles visually, but this does not mean that they were able to shoot down the missiles, because the radar reflection area of ​​those cruise missiles was small and the infrared characteristics were small, which made it impossible for Sparrow Missiles and Rattlesnake Missiles to lock in the target.

A wingman tested a Rattlesnake missile, but failed to hit the target.

Seeing this situation, the long aircraft of the F-15 finally made a decision: use the m61a1 20mm "Green" machine gun inside the right wing root fairing!

When the aircraft was first invented, it used machine guns as air combat weapons. With the advancement of technology, after World War II, it entered the missile era. Once new aircraft were not equipped with air guns, such as the famous second-generation aircraft F-4 in the United States. However, practice has proved that this solution is flawed and missiles are not omnipotent. For example, now, missiles cannot intercept targets, so air guns need to be used to solve the other party.

m61a1 is a kind of air cannon widely used on third-generation fighter jets in the United States. It is mainly used for air combat within 600 meters to make up for the dead zone of fighting missiles. It has 940 rounds of missiles, with a rate of fire of 4,000 rounds per minute and 6,000 rounds per minute. Pilots can set it up by themselves.

The long-range pilot of the F-15 first made an attack operation. He flew above the missiles, then pushed the rod hard, lowered his head, and then, a flash of fire in the right wing, and a series of rain of bullets poured towards the missiles downward.

A sound similar to a heavy concrete drilling machine came into the pilot's ears. The 20mm caliber Gatlin 6-barrel gun, whose barrel was rotating and pouring out bullets at the same time, forming a thick fog of bullets, flying towards the missiles in front.

Before entering the target, the Red Bird 3 missile did not know that it had been attacked. It was still flying forward according to the scheduled route. As a result, it was hit by a 20mm artillery shell. This powerful shell could not withstand the impact of the missile body. Unfortunately, a Red Bird 3 missile was hit by the fuel compartment in the rain of bullets, and the entire missile was blown into a fireball.

Success! Use machine guns to deal with these missiles. Sure enough! The pilot was greatly encouraged, but the panel in front of the cockpit showed that the ammunition was exhausted!

This type of machine gun has a high firing rate and a large area of ​​fog, which can increase the chance of hitting the target. However, there are also disadvantages, which is that it is too waste of ammunition! 6,000 rounds per minute, all the reserved ammunition will be shot in less than 10 seconds. I was just shooting myself just now, but I didn’t notice that the shooting process of this kind of air cannon is very short.

Other pilots also followed the way they were flying over the missiles, then dived like a dragonfly, and then attacked.

Although the Israeli Air Force's average annual flight time is almost the longest in the world, they rarely train to use air cannons, and not everyone can hit the target. After they fired two more missiles, they lost their chances because those cruise missiles have already flown over land!

It will become very difficult to shoot down these targets on land. Various buildings will be natural enemies of the plane. If you are not careful, you will hit the building. Moreover, even if they are skilled, they cannot dive and strafuse like they did on the sea just now, because there are their land below, with their people on top and 20 mm shells. If they pour on the ground, as long as someone is swept, they will definitely be blown to pieces.

Moreover, because of too many buildings on the ground, they lost track of those missiles.

However, those missiles must have attacked Dimona!

After receiving the news of the second batch of missiles, Israel's air defense forces were immediately ready. They knew that there was little time left for themselves to attack, and this kind of missile flew too low! In addition to the Hawk air defense missile turning its head and aiming in the sky on the west side, Israel urgently transferred self-propelled air defense guns and portable air defense missiles, all guarding here.

The density of air defense weapons here has increased several times in just half an hour!

Erthster is still in charge of rescue work, especially the dome building, which is the most important reactor in Israel. Since it was required to have the ability to resist bombs during construction, the reactor has persisted until now and has not collapsed.

The building must be reinforced immediately! Erthest commanded the workers and set up a stand to increase the strength of the reactor, hoping to temporarily overcome the crisis and then resume rest.

"Professor, the enemy's attack is coming again, please hide." said a soldier.

"No, it's dangerous here, it must be reinforced quickly, otherwise you may not be able to withstand the next blow!" Erthster said, "I have to stay here, this is my mission."

"But my task is to protect your safety. Professor, you must leave immediately!" The soldier said, pulling Erthster's big hand up. Before he could react, two more people came over and carried him onto a car outside.

The second batch of Red Bird 3 missiles came over from a distance. When they came, the first batch of attacks had already ended for half an hour. Since they were discovered on the sea, their attack was intercepted by the strongest.

Although no target was discovered at first, when the Red Bird III began to climb, they were exposed to the radar on the ground and to the furious Israeli air defense forces waiting for them.

Hawk missiles, portable stinger missiles, anti-aircraft guns, automatic rifles, and all firepower are shooting into the sky.

However, at this time, the Red Bird 3 missile had entered the serpentine maneuver at the end. The design of the Red Bird 3 largely borrowed the c801 tactics. When the anti-ship missile finally attacked the warship, it would be attacked by the opponent's close-range weapons, especially in later generations, systems such as dense arrays appeared. Therefore, it is necessary for the missile to make irregular trajectories during the last flight.

The attack of Redbird III also adopted the last serpentine maneuver. They did not know that there were so many weapons on the ground firing at them. They only knew that they would faithfully execute every command until they hit the target, or until they were shot down.

The Sprig air defense missiles encountered the same difficulties as the F-15 fighter. Because the opponent's infrared characteristics are too weak, they cannot lock the target. Some even lock the target and launch the missile, they have no results.

The anti-aircraft gun with radar guidance system has achieved some results by taking advantage of the high firing rate. In addition, the Hawk missile that quickly took off, it launched a fire before the opponent flew out of its own shooting window.

In the sky, there were only a dozen cruise missiles intercepted, and there were only twenty of them intercepted by fighter jets, and there were still more than twenty missiles that fell down.

Today is the day when the Dimona nuclear base is destroyed. This time the missile has been dispersed to all aspects of the nuclear base. Those second-important factories have also suffered varying degrees of blows.

The nuclear reactor and the important MA2 suffered another blow, each of which was hit by five cruise missiles. The MA2 base was completely destroyed and had no value for rescue. However, the solid shell of the nuclear reactor actually withstood the impact again. Although, from the outside, it can be seen that the thick cement layer was fragmented and cracked several gaps. Moreover, the steel plate inside seemed to have become fragile, especially the several warheads almost passed through the steel plate, and the flames ignited fired the steel plate into scrap iron.

"Quickly, put out the fires and strengthen the top." Just as he got hit by those missiles, Erthest walked into the place again. When he saw the situation at the scene, he was very worried and directed the rescue of these people.

Other Israeli nuclear experts also arrived here and participated in the rescue together.

Sometimes, some inconspicuous small things and some unconscious small things will cause major historical changes, and this is how it is.

The air defense alarm has been lifted and no more missile attacks have been found. The Dimona nuclear base has been beyond recognition. Everyone believes that the attack has ended.

Even Kusai thought the operation was over. A MiG-25 reconnaissance aircraft from the H-3 Air Force Base will soon conduct cross-border reconnaissance to evaluate the effectiveness of the bombing.

However, in the sky, there was a Red Bird 3 missile flying alone. It was the missile that encountered a launch tube failure during launch. It was dragged back and launched for a while. As a result, it was delayed for twenty minutes. It was precisely because it fell behind that the target of the single Red Bird 3 missile was very inconspicuous and was not discovered by Israel.

The base has been mostly destroyed, but the important nuclear reactor has not yet fallen. Almost all Israeli personnel are busy here. They need to build up the crumbling outside main structure. Otherwise, maybe a blow of wind can blow the building and bury all internal equipment.

Even the air defense forces participated in the rescue work. Now, the enemy's attack has ended, which is something they have almost determined.

The outdated Red Bird 3 missile flew slowly. Along the way, it was not discovered by any enemy. Along the coastline, it entered Israel's territory and slowly flew to Dimona.

Along the way, only a few civilians witnessed the flying object, but none of them noticed it.

It was not until the Redbird III entered the final attack process and flew from an ultra-low altitude that it was discovered by Israel's ground air defense forces.

At this time, the high-power guidance radar of the fire-controlled missile has just been shut down for more than ten minutes and still needs to be warmed up before it can work normally.

Almost for them to see that the missile was dived towards the nuclear reactor.

The call sounded, hoping that those who stayed inside the circular building and were responsible for strengthening the building would evacuate quickly. There were soldiers, rescuers, and important Israeli nuclear experts led by Erthest!
