Chapter 939 Heart Be Cruel

When the F-22 fighter squadron led by Colonel Jack and the "Eagle" fighter squadron led by Colonel Jababa found each other's tracks on the airborne radar almost at the same time, they locked the target almost at the same time and opened the magazine to launch the missile.

In this process, due to the more advanced automation of the F-22 fighter and the integrated aVIC system, the response is also faster.

At a distance of 30 kilometers from each other, it is like the trench warfare of modern war. After launching missiles at the same time, the two sides made the same action, pulling up the nose to climb vertically at a large angle.

The two most advanced fighters in the world are equipped with super-mobile surname energy, super stealth surname energy and vector control technology. The unexpected encounter triggered an encounter.

Coloe Jababa made the plane climb vertically at an almost 90-degree elevation, which is difficult for many current fighters.

Generally speaking, the ratio of the thrust of the engine to the weight of the aircraft, that is, if the thrust-to-weight ratio of the aircraft exceeds 1, you can make a large elevation angle to climb vertically. The higher the push-to-weight ratio, the greater the elevation angle of climbing, and the faster the climbing speed.

The high-energy particle flow ejected by the nuclear reactor of the Condor suddenly changed from orange to blazing white with a trace of blue, and the plane rose to the sky like a rocket.

In modern fighters, instantaneous mobility is an important indicator of close-range combat and air combat, and the 'God Eagle' fighter, which also has vector control technology, has a perfect performance of the super-mobility at this moment because of its unique forward swept wing design and pneumatic layout.

When they saw the 'Shawk' fighter break through the sound barrier from high subsonic speed and rushed above Mach 3 in a very short time, Colonel Jack and other F-22 fighter pilots were stunned and almost forgot to control the plane.

Although they all heard about the ultra-high speed and instantaneous acceleration of the 'Sing Eagle' fighter, they didn't expect it to be so excellent. This has exceeded the understanding of their excellent American pilots.

Somali pilots don't need to do any unconventional maneuvers, but quickly leave the 'sparrow' missile far behind with their speed.

"FUCK!" Colonel Jack saw a 'Eagle' fighter that got rid of the missile roaring down from a high altitude like a dive bomber, occupying the best shooting angle, and hurriedly, a 'Blaster pedaling the wall' unconventional maneuver that could avoid the lock of the 'Eagle' fighter, but he felt shocked under the anti-load suit. I was scared out of a cold sweat.

Colonel Jababa controlled the plane and turned left with a small diameter to try to bite the targeted fighter again. Seeing that the F-22 fighter pilot was proficient in unconventional maneuvers, he had to admire it. This is not the kind of fancy 'Cobra maneuver', but a super maneuver that has a practical role in fighting, and he can see that the other party react and make this action in a moment. It shows that the quality of these American soldiers is indeed excellent.

Because of the ultra-high speed and stealth power of the "Shen Eagle" fighter, it broke into the over-the-horizon strike range of the F-22 fighter and entered the close-range fighting space. With the excellent maneuverability of the front swept wing layout, it can fight with the F-22, which to a certain extent, has leveled the gap between the two sides in software such as missiles and integrated aVIC systems.

In addition, 'Shawk' fighters all have laser anti-missile systems. In this kind of close-range combat, they can save their lives at critical moments.

In the airspace 100 kilometers away, more than a dozen remaining joint air force fighters are fighting and withdrawing from nearly 30 F-16s and F-18s reinforced by the U.S. Air Force, and the northern part of this belligerent airspace is also staged.

More than 20 joint air force fighters with insufficient ammunition and fuel are accelerating to their own air defense zone, while the last 12 F-18 fighters are chasing enemies who are trying to kill these enemies who have no power to fight back.

"Woo-woo..." Air defense alarms were sounded in many areas of Iran's coastline near the Persian Gulf, and a large number of planes took off in a hurry at several front-line airports.

After receiving a request for help from the Joint Air Force Operations Commander Yazdani, the headquarters immediately issued an order for standby fighters to take off for reinforcements.

Including the remaining 12 MiG-29s and 18 Iranian Air Force F-14s, and even 18 improved MiG-23 fighters took off.

For the headquarters, the dozens of third-generation aircraft and pilots who are at war are the most important. Other fighters are almost equal to cannon fodder. If they are lucky, they may also shoot down and injure several enemy aircraft.

And Iran's surface-to-air missile department also entered pre-war standby. Several closed radars along the coast were turned on one after another, and a beam of radar waves completely covered the entire Persian Gulf.

When the 'Cobra' team was also involved in the battle between the United Air Force's broken fleet and the second wave of U.S. ambush fleet, several "Wanderer" electronic fighters that took off from the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier immediately stuck on the Iranian coast radar as if they had found a fishy smell.

Although the Pentagon's combat plan to destroy 1,400 important targets in Iran in three days was not implemented in the Persian Gulf conflict, the attack on Iran's coastal radar stations is a way for the United States to gain more advantages in this war.

Without the expulsion of the 'Cobra' team, these 'The Wanderer' electronic fighters followed their own F-18 pursuit fleet to look for the opportunity to launch the 'Ham' anti-radiation missile.

... General Burton, who had been worried about the 'ghost' fighter at Udeid Air Force Base, changed his face after hearing the intelligence officer's report.

"What? Colonel Jack and the 'ghost' fighter plane were accidentally encountered and are in a battle? This news is not good news for General Burton, because the two encountered too early, and now the F-22 fighter squadron is in danger of fighting alone.

In the original plan, the F-22 fighters will secretly arrive in the airspace where the three generations of aircraft of the two sides meet, cooperate with their own three generations of aircraft to destroy or defeat the main force of the joint air force in one fell swoop, and then unite to deal with the 'ghost' fighters hidden in the dark. Moreover, on the main battlefield, the F-22 fighter squadron will also get its own The assistance of square ground missiles and other auxiliary aircraft such as early warning aircraft electronic jammers increases the weight of defeating 'ghost' fighters. Now that the two sides have encountered an unexpected encounter, what will happen to the F-22 fighter squadron that can't get this support?

"Let the early warning aircraft immediately support Colonel Jack and send another early warning aircraft to support the main battlefield." General Burton's face only changed for a while and calmly gave the order. Now he can only pray that the surname of the 'ghost' fighter can't compare with the 'raptor', and even if it exceeds it, it should not exceed too much.

"Report General, our two F-22 fighters have lost information, including Colonel Jack." At this time, another officer came in and reported.

General Burton's body trembled and quickly held the corner of the table before he fainted. God, it's not true!

"Report General, we injured a 'ghost' fighter."

"Report General, we lost a F-22 fighter..."

"Report General, we shot down a MiG-29 again on the main battlefield..."

"..."

As the news was summarized little by little, General Burton's face became more and more ugly. The U.S. Air Force and carrier-based aircraft on the main battlefield completely prevailed. So far, the losses on both sides have been 13:25. The United States lost 13 fighters, while the United Air Force lost 25. Among them, the main third-generation aircraft of the United Air Force occupied the vast majority. As long as it continues, the United Air Force will certainly have to withdraw from the war. However, on another battlefield, the battle between the United States' most advanced 'raptor' fighter squadron and the 'ghost' fighter squadron is exactly the opposite. The only 'fourth-generation aircraft raptor' that is known all over the world today has been hit by the Somali 'Godhawk' fighter without fighting back.

A squadron of 22 Raptor fighters have lost four so far, and the other side is only one fighter with the wing injured and exiting the battlefield.

General Bolton couldn't believe the result, but he knew it was true.

"Report General, our...our F-22... was shot down by..." As soon as an incoming officer opened his mouth, he saw the usual approachable general's murderous eyes, but he had to report it.

"Withdraw... Order me to withdraw..." General Burton's mouth twitched, and his eyes suddenly roared at the officer.

If it is not withdrawn, the F-22 fighter squadron will be in danger of being destroyed. If that kind of ending really happens, General Bolton must be the first scapegoat.

Rao is now withdrawing the F-22 fighter squadron. He, the commander of Udeid Air Base and the front-line commander of the Persian Gulf War, will certainly be pushed out by the White House as a scapegoat. The White House will not directly admit that the U.S. Air Force is not as good as the mob of several 'rogue regimes', but put the blame on his Bolton, because it is all caused by General Bolton's command mistakes.

"General... can't be withdrawn..." At this time, Brigadier General Brad, the chief of staff of the base, rushed into the office and protested loudly, "General, once we withdraw the F-22 fighter squadron, the situation on the main battlefield here will be reversed with the participation of the 'ghost' fighters, and our America will lose. This war. Therefore, the F-22 fighter squadron must not be withdrawn.

Several American [***] officers in the office were stunned. They all understood the other meaning of Brigadier General Brad's words, that is, even if the F-22 fighter squadron is completely destroyed, it will also drag the 'ghost' fighter fleet to buy time for the U.S. Air Force and carrier-based aircraft forces here to defeat the main fleet of the United Air Force. . As long as the main force of the joint air force is defeated, it is nothing even if the F-22 fighter squadron is lost. At that time, the joint air force with only one squadron 'ghost' fighter could not reverse the outcome of the war.
