Chapter 680 Fighters on the Highway

The early warning time of the e-2c is six hours. Although the time is not long enough, compared with the fighter's battery life, even if it is long enough, now, the e-2c early warning aircraft is also in danger of running out of fuel.

Due to the bombing of the air base, the Israeli Air Force temporarily lost its air refueling capabilities, so their planes had to land.

Just now, when facing Iraq's ballistic missile air strike, the surviving fighter jets took off, they had been cruising in Israel's airspace. Only one F-15 was provoked by the Saudi fighter jets. The rest of the planes were carrying out their own orders and did not fly into the enemy's airspace.

However, they forgot a problem. The only few aircraft were all in the air. They should switch shifts to ensure that there were fighter jets over their heads at all times, although the number of fighter jets is too small now.

Now, they finally realized this problem. Most of the planes were already inadequately fueled, and the two F-15s that were cruising had landed twenty minutes ago.

If Israel had excellent ground crews in normal times, the fighter jets could complete all preparations before taking off again within ten minutes after landing, but now, their ground crews are gone.

Their air base is gone.

Where are they going to land? Civil airports? The answer is no.

In western Israel, the expressway between Netanya and Haifa.

Usually, there are endless vehicles here. But now, there are almost no car on this road.

The forces of a battalion of the IDF launched an emergency plan during wartime and blocked the highway.

At the entrance of the highway, several refueling vehicles were waiting there, but the necessary ground support vehicles and inspection vehicles were missing, the base was blown up very clean, and because the other party used cluster warheads, they could not move around until the unexploded warheads were completely eliminated. Otherwise, it would be easy to cause another injury.

An Israeli pilot had a little tiredness in his eyes. He knew that landing on a highway was orders of magnitude higher than landing on an airport runway.

Because, although the current highway is in two-way four-lane, the width is still too narrow compared to the width of the airport runway. As long as you are not careful, you will rush out of the runway, causing the tragic death of planes and people.

Moreover, they have no guidance from the tower, everything depends on their own experience.

If it were a naval pilot, he would definitely not be afraid at this time. However, the pilots of the Israeli Air Force have been training for a long time and have reached the state of unity of man-machines.

The pilot observed down through the wide canopy cover. The highway in the distance became clearer and clearer.

Look at the bottom line of the sky, look at the instructions of the instruments in the cockpit, and at the same time, observe the highways getting closer and closer on both sides.

Using highways as a temporary runway can urgently restore combat capabilities after being destroyed during wartime airports. This is a topic that later air forces have been studying. Now, under this situation, the Jews have conducted a practical exploration in advance.

The pilot lowered the landing gear and familiarly entered the correct slide line while slowly correcting the effects of crosswind.

In the distance of the highway, the onlookers watched their fighter planes getting closer and lower and lower. They already knew that their air bases had been occupied by Iraq, and they also knew that their prime minister had issued a tough statement that if the Arab army dared to attack, they would use nuclear bombs and fight back.

At this moment, the Jews had once again burst out with cohesion at this critical moment. Most of the Jewish civilians had served in the military. Now, they are ready to take up weapons and defend their homes at any time.

"Squeak..." The main landing gear touched the asphalt road of the expressway, rubbed it with the ground for a while, and finally hit it. Then, the nose in front also slowly descended. A few seconds later, the landing gear in front also hit the ground. The F-15 fighter successfully landed on the expressway. The pilot did not place a speed reduction parachute, so he let the aircraft slid away, gradually slowed down, and then stepped on the brakes.

Because if the speed reduction parachute is put on, he may not use the speed reduction parachute next time. The ground staff who folded the speed reduction parachute for his plane will definitely not have arrived here.

The plane was slowly gliding, and at the exit in front, the gas truck had already arrived.

The Israeli Air Force used superb technology to use the expressway as a runway and landed.

Although... and F-4 can use the expressway as a runway to take off and land, the e-2 Hawkeye Early Warning Aircraft cannot.

Because the wingspan of the f-15 is only 13 meters, but the wingspan of the e-2 early warning aircraft reaches nearly 25 meters, which means that the early warning aircraft is too wide.

Although the early warning aircraft is a propeller aircraft, in this case, its advantage of slow speed and easy landing cannot be exerted. Therefore, it has to find another landing location.

This location is Ufda Air Force Base.

This base is the southernmost air force base in Israel. It is located in the Negf Desert about 60 kilometers north of the southern port of Eilat. During this devastating attack in Iraq, the base was not visited by a missile. This is not that Iraq has forgotten it, nor that Iraq's missiles are insufficient, but that there is no aircraft in this base so far because the base has not been completed.

Uvda Air Force Base is a high-level military base funded by the United States for Israel. During the Six-Day War in 1967, Israel seized control of the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt and stationed troops there. However, in 1979, Israel signed a peace treaty between Camp David with Egypt and returned the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt in accordance with the principle of "land for peace". The United States cannot refuse to encourage Israel to give face. Therefore, as compensation to ensure the security of southern Israel, the United States invested in the construction of Uvda Air Force Base in the Negf Desert.

This base has not been built yet, so it is not attracted by Kusai.

However, its main runway has been completed, so it is still OK to land there.

I originally thought that when Israel announced that it would use nuclear bombs to retaliate against Arab countries, these countries could be quieted down and no longer clamored for attacks. They also had to think about the cost of attacks.

Moreover, Israel's current aircraft need to land and replenish fuel, so they have to land back on the ground. At the same time, their radars start to turn on, protecting their sky.

But they didn't know that the Iraqi plane was waiting for this opportunity!

The F-20 attack squadron, which had been waiting for, received the news from the early warning aircraft, immediately started to increase force and took off quickly.

The early warning aircraft has observed that there are two planes left from the other side in the sky, most of the remaining planes landed on the highway in western Israel, and one of them landed in the desert in the south.

The Hunter Early Warning Machine passes the target position through the C3i system to the F-20 fleet through the data link.

Seeing the message passed, Arslan immediately issued an order to his brigade: Squadron 115 attack the aircraft in the desert in the south, Squadron 122 and Squadron 123, and attack the landing aircraft on the highway in western Israel!

Israel really thinks that if you land your fighter planes in the west, then you will be done? The entire Israeli territory is within the range of the Iraqi Air Force's attack! Arslan thought to himself.

As the Iranian air force gradually weakened until it disappeared, Arslan thought that the days when they were flying fighters, fighting each other in the sky and bombing each other with the missiles they carried were over, and at most they were doing things in training. Unexpectedly, the sky in the Middle East would never be stable, and it also gave them the opportunity to show themselves again!

All kinds of weapons have their own conditions for use. For example, if you attack the target with a fixed target, use cruise missiles, and the powerful attack makes it impossible for the opponent to intercept ballistic missiles. Now, if you want to accurately attack the opponent's plane landing on the highway, you have to use your own fighter to carry the ground-attack missiles to attack.

This time, the F-20 fighter was equipped with two self-defense rattlesnake missiles on the outside of the wing, the Mavericks air-to-ground missiles on the inside of the wing, and a sub-fuel tank was installed under the belly.

Arslan commanded the 122nd and 123rd squadrons to continue flying north, and they needed to cross the Israeli region to attack fighter jets on the highway.

While they admired the bold and constructive behavior of these peers, they also made up their minds that since they wanted to fight, they should completely solve these problems and kill the remaining Israeli fighter jets again!

It seems a bit despicable to do this. When the other party is in the sky, they did not invade the airspace until the other party lands, and they did not start attacking, but such danger is minimal.

Under the command of the early warning aircraft, they kept the radio silent and rely on the information transmitted by the early warning aircraft through the data link to enter Israel's airspace from the blind spot of Israel's air defense radar at a very low altitude.

The Maverick missile can be launched more than ten kilometers away, which will greatly reduce the risk of exposure of carrier aircraft.

F-20 fighter jets flew super low altitude in Israel's sky. They chose the location of the Arab gathering area. The pilots deliberately lowered the altitude and flew at a low altitude only 30 meters above the ground. Although Israel's radars have been turned on, due to the lack of early warning aircraft and the advanced F-15 and F-16 airborne radar patrols, no invading aircraft were found. (To be continued)! ~!
