1504 Burning Baghdad

A large early warning aircraft monitors cruise missiles launched from two different directions at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters.

Various equipment on the early warning aircraft are working, recording the different flight trajectories and various parameters of missiles launched from the air and warships.

Further afield, two electronic reconnaissance aircraft are also working.

Whether it is an early warning aircraft or an electronic reconnaissance aircraft, the purpose of existence is to ensure that the flight trajectory of the missiles launched is consistent with the original preset, and to continuously transmit data to the missile guidance system flying towards Baghdad.

Cruise missiles during flight modify the deviated orbit values ​​through these continuously transmitted data to ensure that they are not discovered by Iraqi early warning radar throughout the process.

Cruise missiles are not particularly fast.

Just perform subsonic flights.

The f-117 formation that is about to enter the airspace of Baghdad has been scattered according to the respective target areas and is ready to launch an attack at any time.

In a city like Baghdad with tight air defense, if fighter jets still maintain large formations, they will easily be discovered by the ground air defense fire radar network.

Although the early warning radars used by Iraq were all old products from the Soviet Union in the 1960s and 1970s, their technology was relatively backward, and it still prevented the huge fleet of fighter jets in the sky from completely invisible.

It is not easy to completely make the F-117 invisible on air defense radar. At least, the current American technology has not solved this problem.

Colonel Studle kept staring at the fighter display, calculating the distance between his position and the target position.

He only had two f-117s around him.

Before entering the Baghdad airspace, the 12 fighter jet formations were divided into 4 3 aircraft formations.

When the final attack is reached, the formation will be further separated and attack targets throughout the entire Baghdadian area.

Seeing as the target got closer, Colonel Studle began to gradually lower the flight altitude at the predetermined position according to the planned plan.

The lower the height, the more nervous he became, worried that he would be discovered by the ground air defense radar.

Colonel Studell knew clearly that on the outskirts of Baghdad, two Sam-2 air defense missile launch positions were passed by.

Previously, through military satellites and electronic reconnaissance aircraft, we have been conducting a meticulous and meticulous investigation of these targets in Iraq to ensure the accuracy of intelligence.

If the air defense missile launch position can be destroyed first, the air covert bombing operations will be safer.

The current mission of the f-117 formation is not to destroy Iraq's air defense missile launch positions, but to have more important targets waiting for them to blow up.

Colonel Studel targeted the Iraqi Defense Building.

The Iraqi Defense Building has a telephone network center connecting the country and is the most important command center for the Iraqi army.

Once the command system is destroyed, the command system of the entire Iraqi army will be paralyzed.

Without the command system, the orders of Iraqi senior officials will not be able to be uploaded to all Iraqi troops as soon as possible.

Similarly, all the situations encountered by the army cannot be reported to the superiors as soon as possible.

The f-117 stealth attack aircraft is lowering its height and quickly approaching the target.

It is already two o'clock in the morning and Baghdad is already in a deep sleep.

The developed lighting system makes the night sky in Baghdad emit a strong light.

The Iraqis had no idea that the US military would bomb the capital as soon as possible.

So, the residents of Baghdad fell asleep.

Although the country and the coalition may fight, for ordinary people, they never thought that the US military would bomb the capital Baghdad as soon as possible instead of attacking the front-line troops.

Baghdad's air defense network has been in operation all the time, and the early warning radar has been on full force and is operating wildly.

These F-117 stealth fighters in the sky are not detected by the anti-aircraft radar, but the targets in the air are displayed very small on the radar.

The enemy's stealth fighter was displayed on the radar display, but the radar soldiers had no idea what it was.

The reflection section is too small, a subtle point. In the cognition of radar soldiers, only birds can have such a small reflection section.

It cannot be said that the air defense forces are not responsible, but that everyone is too tired.

From 15 days ago, all Iraqi military units began to work on duty.

It is now in the early morning of the 17th, and a full 48 hours have passed.

All the officers and soldiers have hardly left their posts, and many people can only take the opportunity to take turns to rest with the people around them.

At this time, no one had the energy to seriously study what these small dots appeared on the radar.

No one will study why so many birds fly around Baghdad at night.

Colonel Studel and the two f-117s next to him were dispersed after approaching the Iraqi Defense Building and continued to lower the flight altitude.

During the entire process, the flight altitude of the f-117 has dropped to 3,000 meters, and Baghdad is still very quiet.

There was no shrill sound of air defense alarm.

There was no air defense fire in the air.

Colonel Studle looked at the time, which was similar to the expected attack time, and other units should have reached the attack area.

Even if you haven't arrived, you can't wait.

Immediately, follow the process, turn on the fire control radar, communication channels, etc., and call all units: "Prepare for attack."

The other F-117 fighter jets did not reply.

Before reaching the target, the pilots have begun to aim at targets on the ground.

At night, these goals don't look very obvious.

With the GPS Global Positioning System and the previously taken target photos of reconnaissance aircraft in the night sky, the pilots can clearly see the ground target from the newly opened fire control radar.

Colonel Studle directly framed the building that was exactly the same as the photo and opened the launch button safety cover.

Around the Iraqi Defense Building, there is a dense area of ​​buildings.

Only the building in the middle was circled and the flight altitude was quickly reduced again.

When the fighter plane landed at an altitude of 900 meters, Colonel Studell opened the bomb hatch door that was closed on the belly of the aircraft and pressed the bomb drop button without hesitation.

When Colonel Studel pressed the bomb drop button, the f-117 bomb bay door had already opened, and two 908 kilograms of heavy aviation bombs fell from inside in an instant.

These bombs are powerful and are also specially developed for the f-117 stealth attack aircraft.

During the Panama War, these bombs had fully demonstrated their power and could destroy the Iraqi defense building in just one.

To ensure the effect, Colonel Studle directly dropped two bombs.

Two other f-117s, several thousand meters away, dropped aviation bombs on the ground target at the same time.

All air defense units did not need anyone to give orders, and were crazily pouring ammunition into the sky without any target.

Even the Sam-2 and Sam-3 missile launch positions are ready to launch air defense missiles.

"Lieutenant Colonel, I can't lock the target, how can I launch it?"

A Sam-3 air defense missile launch position, the commander asked his subordinates to launch the missile.
