Chapter 938 Accidents in Accidents

At this time, on the other side of the earth, it was already early morning. The white official residence, which symbolizes the central institution of the most powerful country on earth, is still brightly lit. A tramp wandered here and was immediately expelled by the security guard.

The presidential office, the black president who claims to lead the United States back to become a world leader, is still working, but it can be seen that he is not very focused and always subconsciously looks at the watch.

"Watson, doesn't the Department of Defense have the latest report on the Persian Gulf?" The president suddenly asked the senior assistant who was dozing off.

If it is an ordinary time, in this country that symbolizes 'bright cooking and freedom', even the president will not work overtime, but now is different. Now is the time for the United States to go to war with a regional organization.

"Yes, President, the Ministry of Defense has not handed in a new report." Watson stood up reflexively and replied.

There is indeed no new news from the Ministry of National Defense.

"Call Secretary Gates to see if he has a rest. If not, let him come over." The president rubbed his cheeks to relieve the soreness of his muscles and then ordered.

The assistant answered, first changed a cup of coffee for the president, and then went out.

Half an hour later, Secretary of Defense Robert? Gates felt the White House, followed by the latest report on the air war in the Persian Gulf.

"God, damn it, is this America's so-called world's first air force?" After reading the report, the black president threw the report on his desk angrily and scolded.

Robert? Gates felt hot on his face. Although he understood that the president was not talking about him, as Secretary of Defense, the 'achievements' of the Air Force were also closely related to him.

After receiving the report from General Burton, the commander of Udeid Air Force Base, he rushed over. He received all the calls from the presidential assistant in the car. After reading this report, Gates knew that it was a big trouble.

Up to now, the U.S. Air Force and naval carrier-based aircraft have been at a disadvantage in the battle with the Third OECD Joint Air Force for air semption in the Persian Gulf.

Although General Burton's 'snake-catching plan' has achieved certain results, including him and even the U.S. Air Force have underestimated the surname of the 'Eagle' fighter.

At the beginning, the U.S. Air Force's 'bait' formation and ambush aircraft group converged into more than 20 fighters, and launched a fierce air battle with more than 50 fighters of the Third United Air Force over the Persian Gulf. At that time, everyone could only see the scene from World War II movies.

Since the aircraft entered the jet era, how many people have seen nearly 80 advanced fighters fighting together in the air?

On the sea surface with a length of 200 kilometers and a width of nearly 40,000 square kilometers, from an ultra-low altitude of dozens of meters to an altitude of 10,000 meters, the fighters of the two sides were completely hanged together.

The U.S. Air Force is weak in number, but its quality exceeds that of the Joint Air Force. In the air battle, the two sides had an advantage in the over-the-sight attack of the U.S. Air Force from the beginning, shooting down at least four joint air force fighters. In close combat, the benefits of the numerical advantage are gradually reflected, and the Soviet war. In the same generation, because the electronic equipment lags behind that of the West, the aerodynamic layout design of the aircraft is also more important than that of the West. That is to say, in the general same generation, the mobile ability of Soviet-made fighters exceeds that of American-made fighters.

In close combat, it is very important whether the aircraft's mobility is excellent or not.

Of course, General Burton's 'snake-catching plan' will not be so simple. The U.S. Air Force, which has made the number and models of conventional fighters of the United Air Force clear for a long time, will not play the trick of winning with quality. In the Persian Gulf, the United States has nearly 200 advanced fighters. How can only send more than 20 fighters? The crucial battle for air slquan in the Persian Gulf?

When the 'Hundred Aircraft Air War' was about 20 minutes, the losses of the two sides were also very amazing. The United Air Force lost 11 MiG-29 fighters and 4 Su-27SS fighters, while the U.S. Air Force also lost 9 F-15s, including one Hornet in front, a total of 10 A fighter.

At this time, a problem should not arise, that is, the combat radius of the Joint Air Force MiG-29 fighters is short. It has been more than 40 minutes since the take-off to the battle. The aircraft without a secondary fuel tank are completely equipped for air combat, and the MiG-29 fighters have to face the problem of having to return.

After Yazdani ordered the remaining 14 MiG-29s in the first wave of attack formation to return to their own surface-to-air missile air defense zone for air refueling, the 'Cobra' team, which had been expelling local electronic combat aircraft and early warning aircraft around the war, issued an alarm.

A large number of aircraft have been found in the southern and southwest directions of the warring airspace, and it is initially expected to exceed 36 F-16 fighters and F-18 carrier-based fighters.

This sudden alarm plunged the remaining pilots of the entire United Air Force into a silence. Up to now, even the Su-27 fighter with a large combat radius does not have much fuel left. After all, in order to maintain the aircraft's air superior combat capability, even the fuel cannot be fully loaded, and most aircraft' missiles are basically exhausted. At this time, the U.S. military suddenly killed two more aircraft groups, and everyone can only be a target in the air. Son.

Commander Yazdani was also stunned for a moment and shouted in the wireless communication in a hoarse voice, "All the planes with fuel and ammunition will stay, and the other planes will immediately return to refuel and load... The 'Cobra' team tried their best to block the two fleets of enemy reinforcements, trying to delay the time. I have put here Report the situation to the headquarters, and the plane we reinforced is already on the way..."

Although Yazdani's words were a little intermittent due to enemy interference, all the pilots still heard it clearly.

At this time, everyone understands that the remaining aircraft are likely to be shot down, but the fuel and ammunition and the joint air force fighters all gathered together to form an attack formation and watch their other planes fly northward.

The 'Cobra' team, which has been playing games with U.S. U.S. early warning aircraft and other auxiliary aircraft at high altitude, also heard the voice of Yazdani. Among them, the courage of the courage to fight against each other decisively made Karim admire the four "Eagle" fighter pilots very much, although there were many of the formations left below. Somali aircraft, but at this time, without the backbone of Yazdani, even if there were more planes left, it would not be possible to complete the task of blocking procrastination.

It seems that they know that their own fleet is coming, and the remaining fighters of the U.S. Air Force and the United Air Force have also left the battled airspace and returned to Udeid Air Force Base. For them, today's World War I made them understand that the U.S. Air Force is not invincible, and there are many opponents worth it. They value and admire it.

"Buzz..." Two groups of U.S. military fighters roared by at high subsonic speeds and rushed to the war zone. Sixty kilometers away from the battle site, the two groups converged, one left and one right, and then some of the F-18 fighters left the fleet and chased the joint air force returning to the north. The first key part of the 'snake-catching operation' is here, completely destroying the fatigue of the joint air force with the new battlefield. Army'.

By this time, General Burton's 'snake-catching plan' had gradually appeared. From the beginning of the four F-15s and two F-18s, it was the 'bait', and even the later ambush group was a larger 'bait'. In a way similar to adding fuel tactics, it introduced the joint air force into traps and traps step by step, and then destroyed the main force of the joint air force in one fell swoop with thunder.

In the eyes of the United States, the main force of the United Air Force is these Su-27 and MiG-29 and a small number of F-14 fighters of the Iranian Air Force, other MiG 23 and even MiG 21 and so on, which are equivalent to target aircraft, which do not play a role in such air warfare at all.

Compared with the Joint Air Force, the United States is completely affordable. The fuel-fueling tactic is a kind of consumption tactic and a safe tactic. The two sides put all the main forces into the air battlefield of the Persian Gulf step by step. Whoever can't bear it first will lose.

As for why such a consuming tactic was chosen, it was because General Burton and the staff were wary of the Somali "Eagle" fighters. Before fully understanding the real combat effectiveness of the Somali "Shawk" fighter, it is impossible for the U.S. Air Force to send all the aircraft, but defeat the United Air Force step by step by gradually eclipses consumption.

In this way, even if the Joint Air Force can't help sending the 'Sing Eagle' fighter, at most, it will cause the U.S. military to lose part of it, and it will not hurt its muscles and bones at once.

However, neither General Bolton, the commander of the U.S. military, nor the Joint Air Force Command expected that there would be an accident in the plan.

It was this accident that caused the two sides to start a decisive battle for air semption, and deviated from the original direction.

This accident was an accident between the F-22 squadron of the 27th Fighter Wing of the U.S. Air Force and the Condor Squadron from Somalia, 140 kilometers south of the belliger airspace.

In order to prevent the operation from being leaked, Colonel Jack, commander of the F-22 fighter squadron, led the group to choose those more remote routes in the southern Persian Gulf to fly at low altitude, because in the southern part of the Persian Gulf, there are few disguised third OECD spy ships, and in the southern Persian Gulf, the fleet is subject to their own early warning aircraft and ground. With the assistance of radar, in the event of an encounter, it can ensure that the fleet can effectively shoot down the enemy.

And the 'Godhawk' fighter squadron, led by Colonel Jababa, has been flying at an ultra-high altitude of 40 kilometers, but after crossing the Strait of Hormuz, the aircraft gradually lowered its altitude and flew over the sea at an altitude of several hundred meters above sea level. The advantage of this is that it can effectively avoid the opponent's radar. Although the stealth of the 'Shen Eagle' fighter is excellent, it is still possible to be discovered. By borrowing some radar 'blind areas' such as the earth's surface curve at low altitude, it can unexpectedly appear on the battlefield.

Both sides wanted to quietly enter the village to shoot, but no one expected to meet unexpectedly, because both sides were very good at stealth. When they found the other party, the other party had already entered the effective attack distance of the missile...
