Chapter 1528

According to regulations, the F-117 Nighthawks squadron must be active after dark.

Therefore, it is still in the afternoon, and the pilots have no way to drive the fighter plane out of the hangar.

In the afternoon before training, most of these pilots were resting.

But today, no one wants to rest.

Everyone is worried.

Although they are the best pilots in the US military.

Baghdad’s air defense is too dense, not only has various air defense radars, but even has dozens of Sam-2 and Sam-3 medium and long-range air defense missiles.

Although these missiles are lagging behind, no matter how excellent the fighter jets are, they are still in danger when faced with a large number of air defense missiles.

In order to ensure accurate bombing, the F-117 must lower its flight altitude below 1,000 meters.

At an altitude of 1,000 meters, Baghdad’s anti-aircraft machine guns could shoot them down.

No matter how nervous the pilots are, the mission still has to be completed.

Hundreds of thousands of troops and thousands of fighters will not be dispatched until they have completed their missions to launch bombings on various targets in Iraq…

No matter how reluctant everyone is, the sky outside is still dimming in the past.

The sky dimmed, and the entire airport also turned into darkness.

Unlike other airports, which have a large number of lighting systems, which illuminate the entire airport as bright as daylight at night, all the street lights in this airport are not turned on.

F-117 is developed for night operations.

There is no need for a lighting system at all.

Half an hour after dark, the hangar doors, which had been closed during the day, began to rise slowly.

There is still no lighting system outside.

The F-117 staying in the hangar was quickly pulled out of the bright hangar by a trailer, and stayed on the runway one by one.

All fighters have been checked in detail when they were in the hangar.

“After the bomb is dropped, it must be pulled up as soon as possible to restore altitude…”

Before departure, the fighter plane was transferred from the hangar to the outside airport runway. At the same time, the commander, Colonel Studer, once again emphasized discipline on all pilots performing the mission.

All pilots are experienced pilots who have been trained for several years.

This mission is too important, and the commander will inevitably get a little verbose.

“I will personally lead the 415 Squadron to bomb the target in Baghdad; Lieutenant Colonel Ross, you will take the 416 Squadron to carry out the bombardment of the long-range radar station and command center in Fallujah… Do everyone understand their goals?”

“understand!”



All fighters are in place.

“set off!”

Under the command of the colonel, more than 20 pilots on the mission began to move quickly to the outside.

It has been several months since I arrived in Saudi Arabia, and I will train almost every night. All pilots can familiarize themselves with their positions.

On the runway, only a faint light indicated the pilot to the center line of the runway.

This kind of light, a little farther away, can’t be seen at all.

The entire airport, seen from the sky, is a little higher, and you can’t see the lights on the ground.

In the cockpits of these fighters, as the pilots arrived, faint blue fluorescence soon lit up.

“I wish you all a victory and a safe return!”

After Colonel Studer spoke to the team, he started the fighter engine and manipulated the fighter jet to take off quickly along the runway in the night sky.

For safety, the entire formation will turn off the radar and keep the radio silent when there are hundreds of kilometers away from the Iraqi border.

A total of 24 F-117s from the two squadrons took off quickly in the dark to complete the formation.

Unlike other flying squadrons, the F-117 has only 3 squadrons in the 37th wing due to its particularity.

These squadrons are also different from the 5-7 fighters of other flying squadrons. One squadron has 12 fighters, which is completely worthy of a squadron of other air forces.

“It is about to enter the detection range of Iraqi radar. From now on, keep the radio silent. 416 Squadron, you go north and keep a distance of 80 kilometers…”

After speaking, the originally quiet flight formation became quieter.

The 24 F-117s separated at this moment into two 12-aircraft formations.

At an altitude of 7,800 meters in the air, it quickly headed towards the north of Saudi Arabia.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

They flew until they were about to approach the Jordanian border, and then collectively turned towards the Iraqi border.

“Huh~ what is that?”

On the side of the Iraqi border, there is a temporary radar station in a small town about 80 kilometers away.

Several small dots suddenly appeared on the radar screen.

These small points are too small compared with the reflection cross section of the fighter plane on the radar.

“It’s so small and the radar didn’t alarm. It shouldn’t be an air attack by an enemy fighter!” Another radar soldier took a look. The dots on the radar screen were really too small.

“Or, report to the superior?” The radar soldier who discovered at the beginning said worriedly, “The superior requires us to be vigilant…”

“How can there be such a small reflection cross-section of a fighter plane? Don’t be so troublesome! In the past two days, the entire frontline force has maintained a high degree of vigilance. Have we rested since last night? If an enemy plane invades, how could it be so? Small reflection cross section? They mobilized thousands of planes, just send such a few?”

The radar soldiers who were unwilling to make trouble taught the young radar soldiers meaningfully.

If they don’t have a well-rested superior, if they find that it is not an enemy aircraft invading, they will be in trouble.

“Then, what are these?” The young radar soldier murmured as he looked at the small spot that had reached the edge of the radar’s detection range.

“Bird! Asuka!”

Another radar soldier looked at the small dot above.

It seems to be similar to the reflection cross section of a bird on the radar.

“Asuka can line up in such a neat line, so fast?” The young radar soldier was a little puzzled, “Asuka fly at night?”

He didn’t think there were birds flying around so late.

And there are so many more.

“It’s not Asuka, is it an enemy fighter? If you don’t believe it, report it yourself…I have to rest for a while, damn American…” Another radar soldier said cursingly.

Regardless of other.

The newcomer is just like that, messing around.

It’s not the enemy’s fighter plane at all.

If an air defense warning is issued, the air defense unit cannot find the target by that time, they will have to be torn to pieces by other exhausted air defense officers and soldiers.

“Are there flying birds out at night?”

Radar murmured back to himself.

He is too young, and it was this time that the president entered the army when he formed a new army in order to cope with the attack of the coalition forces. Originally, he was just a freshman in college.

The radar on the ground spotted the Black Hawk squadron in the sky. When flying over this area, Lieutenant Colonel Studer, who led the team, was hungry from the beginning.

F-117 completely disappeared from the radar, it was impossible.

Even if the shape adopts various designs to reduce the radar reflection cross section, and even a thick layer of stealth paint that can absorb radar waves is applied on the surface, it is impossible to completely disappear on the radar.

The reason for flying over this small temporary radar station is to test Iraq’s air defense detection capabilities.

These are the battle plans that have been arranged.

A small radar station here is unavoidable from being discovered, and it is close to the Iraqi capital, the city with the most air defenses, and there is not much chance.

“pass!”

After leaving the detection range of the radar station, Colonel Studer breathed a sigh of relief.

The other pilots in the flight team also breathed a sigh of relief.

The formation continued to fly forward.

No one opened the radio communication channel to contact teammates illegally, and no one opened the radar when they entered the target area.

Everything is developing according to plan.

The formation of 12 F-117s continued to fly over three small air defense radar stations in the back, and none of them launched air defense missiles on the ground.

This makes the mission pilots a lot easier.

“Order all troops, especially the ground air defense network, there can be no slack!”

Since knowing that US President Bush has signed the war order, Damu has become even more troubled.

Even though he had already slept in the secret mansion, he finally got up and issued an order to the Secretary of Defense Amad through the secret line.

Ahmad couldn’t sleep at all at this time, and was constantly calling the commanders of the various front-line troops, asking them to maintain a high degree of vigilance.

After getting a call from the president, I was even more happy for my wiseness.

“Your Majesty, please rest assured, all our radar stations have been turned on, and even a bird can’t fly in!”

Ahmad asks the president to rest assured.

The president is most afraid of air strikes from coalition forces.

As the Minister of Defense, he naturally knows the situation of their fighters.

After U.S. President Bush issued the combat order, the President issued an order to the Air Force to move from the airport to the vicinity of the airport to prevent the U.S. and coalition air forces from attacking the Iraqi airport in the first place.

The US and coalition forces have too many long-range missiles.

They are not afraid of coming to fighters.

But if there are long-range missiles to attack, it is not easy to defend.

Although the Feidun-359 purchased by Iraq from China can defend against missiles, the number is too small.

There are only 100 cars.

The Tikrit Division’s Ishad Division is equipped with almost half of the number, and they are all in the young officer regiment that the president relies on the most.

The remaining 50 vehicles, the presidential palace, several secret presidential residences, airports, radar stations, and even the command center of Fallujah, all need these.

There are too many targets and too few flying shields-359 for defense.

F-117 is about to reach the area around Baghdad.

“Damn it, why haven’t the cruise missiles of the Air Force and the Navy arrived yet? We arrived here without a second deviation…”

Seeing that it was about to reach Baghdad, the cruise missile that assisted the attack had not arrived yet.

Over the Mediterranean, a formation of four bombers, escorted by several F-14s, flew forward slowly.

“All units pay attention to reach the predetermined area and launch cruise missiles.”

“Boom~”

The bomb bay of the bomber opened and several huge missiles fell from it.

As soon as these missiles fell a few meters, the tail engine started to ignite.

Soon, these missiles were heading towards Baghdad with the tail engine working.

At the same time, the Persian Gulf.

Several warships cruising in the darkness suddenly raised several missiles with long tail flames.

The target of these missiles is also in Baghdad!
