Chapter 963 Opening of the Second Persian Gulf Air War

"Woo..." The shrill air defense alarm cut through the night sky.

The sound of sirens in Iran's Abbas air base made the huge base messy for a while. After the initial tension, the base officers returned to normal and coordinated their own work.

An elite pilot of the United Air Force ran to the fighters on the runway one by one under the command of the officer in a messy dress.

And the nearby ground air defense forces entered a combat state. After the radar was turned on, a dense light spot signal appeared on the display screen.

Although it was well prepared, the enemy's signal on the electronic screen showed that the representatives of the five countries of the Joint Air Force Command were still shocked.

Is the United States planning to have a decisive battle in the Persian Gulf directly?

Soon, the monitoring teams summarized the information. The aircraft carrier Nimitz, a U.S. air base in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain, dispatched more than 150 large-scale fighters at a time. Under the early warning command of a number of early warning aircraft, it came aggressively across the nominal dividing line of the Persian Gulf and towards the northern Persian Gulf.

Looking at the situation, it seems that if the Joint Air Force does not take off, the U.S. Air Force and naval aviation will directly enter Iran for air strikes.

The Joint Air Force Command, which is the previous exercise headquarters, the representatives of the five countries naturally set up a command group to become the highest decision-making and command organ of the Joint Air Force. At this moment, it's too late to think about anything else. The first thing is to face the enemy.

When Abbas's air defense alarm sounded, Iran's air bases near the coast of the Persian Gulf made the same response.

The main fighters of the United Air Force took off urgently under the control of the pilots and formed an attack formation to gather on the Iranian continental shelf. At this time, many people accidentally found that the gathering place was Iran's Lavan Island.

The site of the third OECD joint live-fire exercise that once provided cover for Operation Peaceful Lightning.

The second air war between the United States may be carried out in the airspace near Lavan Island. It can be seen that regardless of the outcome of the air war, Lavan Island will be world-famous again.

The combat commander of the Joint Air Force is still Colonel Yazdani of the Iranian Air Force. It is said that he has received a high-level promise from Iran that as long as the Persian Gulf War is over, he will soon be promoted to become a major general of the Air Force. Naturally, there are pilots from other countries in the United Air Force. At this time, the official ** also allows the pilots to use 200 percent of their energy to win this war.

In a word, this large-scale air war, known as the second Persian Gulf air war, began suddenly.

"American fighters currently integrate three fleets, coming from the southeast, south and southwest, of which the southeast direction is the F-15 and F-16 hybrid aircraft fleets taken off from three U.S. air bases in Oman and an air base in the United Arab Emirates, with a scale of about 40-45 aircraft, and the United States stationed in the south. Udeid Air Force Base in Qatar, which is also the main force of the United States Air Force this time, has an F-22 fighter squadron and two F-15 fighter squadrons, with a total of about 70 fighters. In the southwest, there are U.S. Nimitz aircraft carrier aircraft, including all 36 F-18 Hornets and several Super Hornet fighters. It is estimated that the number of enemy aircraft in three directions will be about 150. A staff member is introducing the information of the U.S. fleet to the representatives of the five countries. "150 are just the number of American fighters we have found, not including a considerable number of early warning aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, refueling aircraft and other auxiliary aircraft."

"Wait..." Brigadier General Assad, deputy commander of the Somali Air Force, frowned and asked, "Do you mean that these 150 fighters can't be a confirmed number?"

The staff officer was a little nervous and nodded, "Yes, sir, because there are many ships and islands in the Persian Gulf, and the terrain is relatively complex. If the U.S. Air Force uses the influence of terrain on radar detection, it is also possible to try to hide some fighters. And... And our radar and electronic technology are inferior to that of the United States. If the other party interferes or deceives us in this regard, it will be difficult for us to find it in a short time on this fleeting battlefield.

The words of this staff officer made the second son of Libyan Gaddafi, who didn't know much about the military, hurt his brain. If the U.S. Air Force is only 150 combat aircraft, the United Air Force will not be afraid in this sudden air battle of the United States. After all, after being supplemented, the United Air Force also has more than 100 main fighters, and there is also Somali strategic air force support, which is at most a greater loss, but the final result and the last air There should be no difference in war. But the staff officer's words told him that the United States was likely to rely on advanced technology, and in some places, there were more fleets lurking in standby, waiting for the fighters of the two sides to hang together, suddenly making a disaster, reversing the air-occupation and balance of the two sides in one fell swoop, and finally eliminating the defenseless joint air force.

This speculation makes people feel a little chilly, but it is not without such a possible surname.

Karsaki, the deputy commander of the Iranian Air Force, shook his head at Saif, who was ready to ask questions, and motioned the staff to continue to explain.

"We have deployed a total of 116 main fighters in five air bases, which is less than the number of U.S. air forces attacking this time. In terms of combat effectiveness, it is also slightly inferior. However, we have the support of the 'Hack' fighter squadron from Somalia. Compared with the strength of the two sides, we are still at the same ladder. One of the concerns of the General Staff now is how many Air Force fighters have been hid by the United States? The second is whether the United States is a killer of intentions? After all, according to the results of the last air battle, if the United States does not have a killer mace, although it can make us lose a little more, under the blow of the 'Shenhawk' fighter, the United States itself will also suffer great losses, and the final result is nothing more than not losing or win.

After the staff officer finished speaking, he carefully wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, looked at several officers with solemn faces, and gently walked to one side and stood.

Deputy Commander Carl Saki waved his hand to let the staff go out, and then his face was a little ugly.

"I'm not sure this time." Thinking about the American 'killer' mentioned by the staff just now, Calsacki said slightly worriedly, "If the United States really has a killer, I think it must have been aimed at the 'Eagle' fighter. The result of the last air battle was that the United States underestimated the surname of the Condor. It thought that the F-22 fighter would be enough, but in the end, it returned. This time, the United States took action, on the one hand, because of the sinking of the Mediterranean 'Barrie', and on the other hand, it must have prepared a killer to deal with the 'Eagle' fighter, so as to end the current confrontation.

"The most prominent name of the 'Shenhawk' fighter at present is speed. It can have the current reputation is entirely because there is no missile that can catch up with it at present. Even if some missiles have enough speed, the altitude is not as high as the altitude of the aircraft, and air-launched missiles have the problem of altitude drop. I'm wondering, has the United States developed a missile that is high enough and has a maximum flight speed? Deputy Commander Assad's face became heavier and heavier as he analyzed.

If the United States really develops such a missile specially used to deal with the Condor fighter, it is not good news for Somalia. The Somali Strategic Air Force, which has not been defeated, is likely to suffer losses this time. At the thought of this, he couldn't sit still and summoned a Somali staff officer to send the news back to Somalia immediately, and be sure to let the reinforced strategic air force be cautious.

"There shouldn't be such a missile, right? If there were really missiles with a shooting height of more than 30 to 40 kilometers and a speed of more than Mach 6, the United States would have deployed it long ago. Isn't the latest model of 'Patriot' not just that it has a speed of Mach 6 and an altitude of less than 30 kilometers? The Syrian representative analyzed with some doubts.

Karsaki didn't think so. He shook his head slightly and said, "No deployment doesn't mean that the United States doesn't have it. Don't you think rockets or long-range missiles can reach hundreds of kilometers of altitude and close to more than 20 times the speed of the universe? Technically, it is not a problem, but because there was no market for such missiles in the past, conventional missiles have met the needs of use, but now with the 'Shenhawk' fighter, the United States needs to produce such special-purpose missiles. The price is definitely more expensive, but no matter how expensive it is, it will not exceed one F-15, let alone the F-22. I think Americans are very willing to exchange an F-15 for a 'Godhawk' fighter.

Karsaki's words are very clear. The United States is not short of money, but it can't develop an aircraft against the Somali Strategic Air Force for a while. But the United States has the technology. Even if it can't develop the same as the 'Shawk' fighter, it is not difficult in some aspects, such as proximity to speed and altitude, and missiles are easier. It was not deployed before, or because the surname-price ratio was too low, which was not cost-effective. But there are only dozens of advanced aircraft in Somalia, and the United States is struggling to spend billions of dollars. As long as it is shot down all Somalia's Condor fighters, it is also very cost-effective.

"Well, whether the United States has a killer or not, we all need to face it. Now it is impossible for everyone to quit. They can only go forward bravely. Although Assad was very worried, he went back to Somalia a few days ago and knew that Star Group had some good things to produce, so he was still very confident about the final outcome of the war.

"Please pay attention to the groups... This is the Eagle King. Now I order everyone to check the fuel and ammunition of the aircraft... I repeat, check whether the fuel and ammunition of the aircraft are normal..." At an altitude of 10,000 meters, Colonel Yazdani flew an F-14A 'Mt Cat' fighter, while facing the formation of his own fighters in the front, back, back, left and right and right airspace in wireless communication. The preparation order was issued.

According to the information provided by the four "Eagle" fighters of the high-altitude 'Cobra' team, the straight-line distance between our own fleet and the United States is less than 80 kilometers.
