Chapter VIII The Tragic Bombing
When a huge fireball was lit up in the sky above, the F-16 fighter jets driven by Colonel Iftach Spicot and Captain Elan Raymond were at the end of the entire formation.
When I heard Nahumi's anxious voice coming from his headphones: "There is an enemy anti-aircraft artillery position ahead, climb up immediately, climb up immediately!" Iftac was several thousand meters away from Nahumi.
It was not that Iftac was deliberately left behind, but that he had to use his hands to apply his big nose with his hands, and in order to keep his brain awake, he did not take cold medicine. Now, after a long flight, he finally couldn't hold on. The things inside his nose began to flow out involuntarily, and he had to use his hands to help.
In this way, he could not maintain a dense formation and could not break the radio silence, so he was far away from Changji Nahumi.
At the end of the entire formation, Raymond had long discovered that the ace pilot was in poor condition today, so he did not surpass Iftach, but followed him.
The f-16 is not a car, there is no reflector, and the information transmission of early warning aircraft is not obtained. Nahumi, the leader of the "Chill" team, did not discover that two of the four aircraft in his formation had fallen.
Fortunately, the distance was widened, so when the planes in front were ambushed one after another, Iftach and Raymond did not choose to climb up, but turned to the right in advance and flew towards the predetermined attack location.
Climbing high is not the best choice, but the planes in front flew too close and they had no choice. The two lagging planes were prepared, and they did not fly over the other's anti-aircraft gun positions, but turned in advance and flew towards the predetermined reactor.
Throwing this kind of ordinary bomb without guidance requires superb bomb drop skills. When to dive and when to drop bombs, there are exact standards. This is also the formation chooses to use the lake as the starting point for the attack route. Fly for ten minutes, reach a height of one thousand meters, fly down from a high altitude one thousand meters before entering the target, dive and throw from a pre-practice perspective.
Looking at the things on the ground in the sky are different from those on the ground, and from different angles, they are also different. Therefore, if you choose different angles, it is easy to fly over the target without dropping bombs in time.
However, there is no other way at the moment. These two planes are the last hope!
Iftach looked at the f-15 fighter jets that were angrily down, and he was very calm. Even if they could use machine guns to eliminate all the anti-aircraft artillery soldiers of the opponent? The error has been caused. Their most correct choice is to provide more cover for themselves to prevent them from being attacked by the opponent's fighter jets. The anti-aircraft artillery position just now showed that the opponent might have known about this operation.
Iftach was flying a fighter plane, looking for landmarks, ready to drop bombs above a nuclear reactor flying over at high speed. He was just snot and wanted to come out from time to time.
Raymond's eyes turned red. He was discussing together last night, saying that if he was attacked, he would be the easiest person to become a martyr. Unexpectedly, the pilots in front had already left one step ahead.
Revenge, revenge! Raymond put the oxygen mask on his face. Although he did not need to breathe oxygen in the air below 3,000 meters, in order to calm his mood and concentrate, Raymond began to breathe oxygen in the oxygen mask.
The distance of twenty kilometers is only more than one minute for high-speed fighters. After a few dozen seconds, the two fighters approached the Oslak reactor and their altitude increased to one thousand meters.
Block the balloon! The two of them looked at the sky ahead and their brows frowned slightly.
There are dozens of colorful balloons, filled with a height of hundreds of meters in front of them. If you want to fly over from above, you can, but it is very difficult to dive and drop bombs.
If a high-speed aircraft hits a steel cable that mounts a blocking balloon, the aircraft will definitely explode in an instant.
"The original plan remains unchanged, dive and drop bombs." Iftach said. The only one left in the bombing team was the two of them. Iftach was the colonel and Raymond was the captain, so naturally he had to obey Iftach's orders.
"Yes!" Raymond replied on the radio, with a tragic sound in his voice, flying into the blocking balloons everywhere, which was definitely a life-and-death death.
If you don't dive and drop bombs, you can only drop flat, the plane flies horizontally, and the bombs are dropped. This kind of drop bomb has very poor accuracy unless it is a carpet bombing of the B-52 bomber.
But there is no way. In the active arsenal, only this kind of mk84 bomb has the greatest power and can deal with the thick cement walls of the opponent's nuclear reactor.
In a blink of an eye, the final stage entered.
Iftach originally switched the electric gate to bomb mode, but when he dived, he suddenly switched to the cannon.
In the gaps between several blocking balloons, the tall circular cement building is next to it with a horseshoe-shaped earth embankment, which is the Iraqi "Tamuz-1" nuclear reactor.
Iftach pushed the joystick forward, and the plane dived down rapidly, faster and faster, and the outline of the earth became clearer and clearer.
"Clog balloons, just children's toys!" Iftach roared and pressed the button in his hand.
The m61a1 "Vulcan" 20mm caliber Gatlin 6-bar navigation cannon under the belly of the "TuTuTu" machine, the barrel was constantly rotating, spitting out flame tongues, and the balloons next to them were beaten to pieces.
OK, switch to the bomb! Iftach skillfully taps the electric gate on the left and right sides and switches to the bomb operation.
There is only one launch button, which is on the operating lever, and controlling the launch of multiple weapons requires switching valves to achieve it.
The glass in front of the cockpit has been projected on the front of the cockpit. Just mistakenly put the circular cement building on the front sight, and when it drops to 200 meters, press the button and pull it up.
At this time, Iftach had no time to look at the instruments in the cockpit, and his eyes were fixed on the increasingly larger targets on the glass.
On the anti-aircraft gun position below, a series of strafing fires began toward the diving plane. However, such backward anti-aircraft guns could not capture the trajectory of the opponent's plane. After a break, the opponent's plane was still diving.
Raymond followed Iftach and swooped down.
Seeing Iftach firing the cannon in a rapid dive in front, Raymond was so impressed that he was thrown into the ground. No wonder the opponent was an ace pilot. He couldn't do this action himself. This required a keen reaction speed, and it was done with two heavy bombs mounted.
What Raymond didn't know was that Iftach's vision had begun to blur at this moment, and the huge overload caused him to have black vision.
If under normal circumstances, there would be no problem for him with less than five overloads, but today he was uncomfortable. The blood was not flowing smoothly, and during the violent maneuver, the blood could not be delivered to his head in time. Finally, his vision began to blur and his eyes were dark.
Iftich had tried his best, and Iftich pressed the button helplessly.
Under the wings, two huge bombs dexterously left the wing mount, drew a graceful arc in the air and fell downwards.
Iftach felt the plane suddenly lighten, and he used all his strength to pull the joystick back. If it was too late, he might crash.
At the last moment, Raymond was still admiring the skills of the ace pilot, but at this moment, he opened his eyes wide: the two bombs did not fly towards the reactor at all, but landed on the steam turbine factory in front.
(The nuclear reactor only provides heat, transfers heat to water, turns into high-pressure water vapor, and then drives the turbine to rotate, drives the generator to generate power, or outputs power.)
Damn it! The bombing route went wrong, and it entered the dive too late. The dive angle was too small. If you fly like this, you would miss the reactor. Raymond was upset.
Pull it up and enter again? Raymond looked at the proximity of the earth, gritted his teeth, and then pressed the joystick down.
Increase the dive angle! Change to a 90-degree vertical dive, and you don’t believe that you can’t blow up the reactor. Raymond made up his mind.
The nose gradually lowered downwards, and finally, almost facing the ground, the flat red circle had already been put on the circular building. Raymond opened the weapon security and prepared to drop bombs.
This kind of dive requires great courage. The speed is so fast that as long as 0.1 second late, the plane will be destroyed and the person will be killed. If it is thrown too early, the bomb may be lost.
Raymond swept the altimeter with the light of his eyes and was turning rapidly. Soon, the height was approaching 200 meters.
Raymond's right hand was already pressed on the launch button of the joystick. The most exciting moment came. He dropped the bomb, then quickly pulled it up. If he was a little slower, he would kiss the earth enthusiastically, becoming a meat patty, which was eaten by Saddam without adding fuel to the vinegar.
Suddenly, Raymond felt the fuselage trembling violently, and suddenly, the scenery in front of him began to rotate rapidly.
Oops, it's the tail spin!
(The tail spin is the movement of the aircraft rotating along the steep spiral track surface with a very small radius in a state of continuous stalling, and at the same time, it is sharply descent. The on-board computer of F-16 has been restricted. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to enter the tail spin. However, when pilots perform special tasks, in order to increase the maneuverability of the aircraft, they will think that the on-board computer is unlocked, that is, the computer will no longer prohibit the aircraft from doing these actions that may cause accidents.)
At such low altitude, there is no ability to change the tail rotation, and the only option is to escape from the catapult.
Raymond did not hesitate, he had no choice. He pulled down the ejection pull ring under the seat. With a "bang", four broken-cover guns fired at the same time, making four holes in the glass canopy cover. Then, the rocket that ejected the seat began to ignite, pushing the seat upwards, and the seat pushed the canopy cover open and flew out of the cockpit with Raymond.
The next second, the plane hit the ground and exploded with a bang.
