Chapter 936 Competition for Air Secrecy
In the calm Persian Gulf, the busy maritime transportation used to wither. Looking up, you can't see a moving object, except for those seabirds that occasionally make calls on the sea.
"Buzz..." A low roar came from afar, and a dense black spot suddenly appeared in the meeting place between the sea and the sky in the north.
When the black spot approached, it was found to be a group of fighters.
Each of these fighters is only about 100 meters from the sea, flying at supersonic speed. After flying 30 kilometers from the continental shelf, each of these aircraft is only 60 meters high.
"'Cobra'... Report the enemy's movements, over." On a MiG-29 fighter, Colonel Yazdani, the commander of the Joint Air Force, broke the radio silence.
In the 42-kilometer stratosphere over the Persian Gulf, four Condor fighters are flying at low speed. Karim is now the leader of the "Ghost" group in the United Air Force, that is, the leader of the "Godhawk" fighter group. In today's attack, their team's code name is 'Cobra'.
The 'Cobra' team now has four 'Eagle' fighters. Because of today's operation, the 'Eagle' fighter squadron in Somalia is also coming this way. They enter the belligerent airspace when the two sides are fighting.
At present, the task of the 'Cobra' team is to monitor the U.S. Air Force opposite the Persian Gulf, and is also responsible for guiding the attacking joint air force. Although it is not an early warning aircraft, it is also useful to use the 'God Eagle' fighter to do this task.
Karim turned on the airborne phased array radar and immediately found the red light spots displayed on the radar screen. In the war zone, except for sharing their own aircraft identified by the enemy, the signals of other flying objects are red. At this moment, only American fighters can appear in this airspace.
"Report ' Viper', four little eagles... Two little bees, coordinates XXX.YYY, no, an early warning aircraft... They found you." Karim suddenly saw the early warning aircraft hidden at the back and hurriedly warned.
Compared with the airborne radar, the radar power on the early warning aircraft is higher and the search distance is longer, so even in the rear of the fighter, the distance found by the early warning aircraft exceeds the airborne radar of the fighter in front.
"Only four little eagles and two little bees? Brothers, let's play with them. After hearing Karim's report, Yazdani was overjoyed. If there were only these six enemy planes, they could really eat each other with their wave of air power. Of course, there may be losses, but where is there no loss in air combat? Even in the advanced, it may be shot down by ground artillery, let alone air combat.
And since the establishment of the Joint Air Force, only the Somali Air Force has achieved results, which makes other member countries somewhat dissatisfied. There must have been an order in private, and they must win glory for the country.
9 Su-27SS, 18 MiG-29s, four enemy "Eagle" fighters, and two super "Bumblebee" fighters.
27:6. Even if the enemy's aircraft surnames can be better, they can be piled up in numbers.
"'Cobra', immediately expel the other party's early warning aircraft, it's better to kill it." Fortunately, Yazdani has not taken it for granted. Although the number of the other party supported by the early warning aircraft is several times different, with the support of the early warning aircraft, the other party's comprehensive combat effectiveness will not increase several times. Therefore, if you want to have a good record, you must kill the other party's early warning aircraft.
Karim nodded secretly and gave the order to expel the early warning aircraft to the wingman beside him. The fuselage of the 'Godhawk' fighter beside it broke away from the formation and accelerated to fly towards the American early warning aircraft.
At this time, Karim suddenly saw the red light spot on the Mibreda screen, and his face suddenly changed greatly. He quickly called out, "Please pay attention to the 'Venebra'... A large number of enemy aircraft, coordinates... Preliminary inferred that there were more than 15 eagles... Repeat, a large number of enemy aircraft were found, coordinates..."
At this time, the first wave of attack formation led by Yazdani has approached the blockade line set up by the U.S. Air Force in the Persian Gulf. The distance between the two sides is only 60 kilometers, close to the longest attack distance of the other side.
Coloe Yazdani's face changed greatly and scolded angrily, "It turned out to be a trap... These damn Americans are too cunning."
"Ah... Captain, I'm locked." A MiG-29 pilot called the emergency channel in wireless communication.
"Captain, I'm also locked... Allah is on, they fired missiles..."
Yazdani's head was swollen by all kinds of messy sounds from wireless communication. At this moment, the aircraft formation is already rising to an altitude of 4,000 meters in the air, and it is still 55 kilometers away from the enemy aircraft.
16 AIM-120 air-to-air missiles dragged the tail flames out of the hanger of the F-15 fighter and ran for the United Air Force fleet 55 kilometers away.
With the application of active phased array radar, today's fighters have gradually equipped with some of the original early warning aircraft, such as tracking multiple targets at the same time and attacking many of them.
The fleet of the United Air Force is already a little chaotic with two planes as a group, especially some of the pilots who have not experienced actual combat, who are always a little panicked in the face of this kind of missile attack.
I have to say that in terms of missiles alone, there is still a big gap between the two sides. At present, the medium-range air-to-air missile used by the Joint Air Force is AA-10, with a maximum range of only 50 kilometers, slightly farther than the American 'sparrow' missile, but it is far less than the AIM-120 advanced medium-range missile, with a range of only Two-thirds of the party, and the surname of the missile is slightly inferior. The only advantage is that the combat part of the AA-10 missile is heavier, and the missile is more powerful, which is more in line with the characteristics of Soviet weapons.
The more dangerous it is, the more Colonel Yazdani, as a commander, can't panic. If he also panics, then the joint air force attack formation may really suffer a big loss.
While ordering the aircraft locked by the missile to lower the altitude to evade and release the jamming bombs in the wireless communication, he ordered other aircraft to approach the 'bait' of the U.S. Air Force, that is, the four F-15s and two F-18 formations. They must eat this bait before the enemy aircraft arrive.
" Bang..." Colonel Yazdani's MiG-29 fighter just approached the U.S. Air Force's 'bait' 50 kilometers. Before it could launch the missile, it heard a harsh explosion from the wireless communication.
He suddenly turned back through the cockpit and saw a MiG-29 fighter exploded by a missile over the right rear of the fuselage, and even the pilot did not have time to parachute to escape.
Although other United Air Force fighters narrowly avoided the tracking and locking of missiles, they were sad to see their companions who had just talked together to see Allah like this.
"It's No. 096 Hammerway..." A pilot said after a long silence in the wireless communication.
Colonel Yazdani immediately thought of the tall young Syrian pilot in his mind. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be sad, everyone. We will avenge Hammerway. Long live the United Air Force!"
turning grief into motivation, the remaining 26 fighters of the Joint Air Force reorganized two formations at medium and low altitudes to cross the sea. After entering the missile range, the Su-27SS at an altitude of 9,000 meters launched an AA-10 missile at the same time.
At an altitude of 40 kilometers, several pilots of the 'Cobra' group had just been listening to the speeches of the pilots of the ' Viper' group. When he heard that a MiG-29 was shot down, Karim's face also sank.
They didn't go down to help the Viper group, because whether it was in the combat mission or for the emotions of the pilots of the Viper group, they could not intervene in the battle below.
Karim believes that it is enough for the Viper team to solve the "bait" of the U.S. Air Force. Their more important task now is to delay and wait for the arrival of their reinforcements.
Because the fleet of the U.S. Air Force is already approaching at high speed.
The 'Hall' fighter, which was ordered to expel the U.S. early warning aircraft, soon returned to the formation. He did not shoot down the U.S. early warning aircraft, mainly because there were eight F-16 fighters escorted behind the early warning aircraft, and the other side had retreated to the U.S. ground missile air defense zone.
It is too dangerous to break into this layer of defense line to attack the early warning aircraft with a 'Shawk' fighter.
"Brothers, the Viper group is at war. It's time for us to work on the Cobra. Now implement the second set of backup plans.
With Karim's order, the four Condor fighters began to lower their altitude and faced the main fleet of the United States Air Force.
Four 'Eagle' fighters VS15 F-15 fighters?
According to the second set of backup plan, when there is a great disparity between the enemy and us, the 'Shenhawk' fighter should make full use of the advantages of the aircraft and launch an air 'guerrilla war' with the other party.
Four 'Shenying' fighters give full play to the advantages of ultra-high speed, ultra-high-altitude, super-mobile surname energy, super stealth surname energy, etc., implement the method of shooting one shot for another, and enveing on the other party's air defense circle step by step. Once the other party's defense gap is found, it will burst in and launch the missile, but it will be separated by ultra-high speed.
... At an altitude of 35 kilometers in Hormuz, a group of 18 Condor fighters crossed the strait like a ghost.
This is the 'Eagle' fighter squadron from Somalia, and it is also the main force to seize air power in the Persian Gulf this time. The commander of this aircraft formation is Colonel Jababa, the commander of the Somali Strategic Air Force. His original task was to be responsible for the strategic duty of another two-seat 'Eagle' formation, that is, a mission similar to a strategic bomber in Somalia's strategic nuclear deterrence, but this time, in order to facilitate the command, Li Mo sent Colonel Jababa in person to be responsible for the unified management and command of the 'Eagle' fighter formation.
On the south side of the Abruville Islands, a hundred kilometers west of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, another formation of 22 fighters is also quietly approaching the airspace where the two sides are fighting. This fighter formation is the U.S. F-22 fighter squadron that has just taken off from the Jaffra Air Force Base in the United Arab Emirates, command The official is Colonel Jack.
