In fact, it was not just Lu Jiadong who felt Dulles' actions were a terrifying act. On the other side of the battlefield, Lieutenant General Horner, who was in charge of the coalition command, also believed so. However, unlike Lu Jiadong's extremely persuasive technical means, Horner made a judgment based on the extremely keen and extremely terrifying intuition in his brain about the battlefield.

There is no basis and no reason, but Horner believed in his intuition. It is precisely because of this that he resolutely changed his plan regardless of the feelings of his old subordinate Lieutenant Colonel Dulles, and used the large-scale m270 rocket launcher as a fire barrier. While attacking Semawo's hard target,

Use the ultra-low-altitude high density as much as possible to paralyze the radar network of the Falcon air defense missile system, thereby covering the following f-117 Nighthawk stealth attack aircraft to carry out a more deadly secondary removal of the "big man" hidden in the Babylon Air Force Base.

This tactic of covering stealth fighters for raids can be said to be extremely subversive, because in the US Air Force's combat manual, stealth fighters have always been regarded as vanguards for kicking the door. They have always been stealth fighters to open paths for others. I have never heard of stealth fighters that require other military branches to provide fire cover.

However, Lieutenant General Horner's sensitive nerve that burst out from time to time suddenly jumped up before the action, and then a thought that surprised him suddenly sprouted in his mind, and then it spread uncontrollably all over his body and could no longer be pulled out:

“f-117 ‘Nighthawk’ is not 100% safe.”

If it were someone else, after occasionally coming up with this idea, he would definitely throw it over without thinking and joke. That was the unique stealth fighter in the world. Not to mention the small Iraq, even the Soviet Union, which is thousands of times stronger, did not have very effective response methods. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as this "nighthawk" spreads its wings and takes off, it is equivalent to invincibility.

However, Lieutenant General Horner is not an ordinary person. His intuition has extraordinary accuracy and has been verified countless times, as if he is like a God. What's more, his dangerous intuition is not aimless. As a senior senior general of the US Air Force, Horner knows very well what kind of urethraf f-117 is.

It can be said that apart from the mysterious stealth ability, there is nothing worthy of praise. It is no exaggeration to say that the entire aircraft is an emergency assembly. The general turbofan engine that failed to bid for light fighters, the landing gear of the F-15 fighter, and the onboard electronic equipment are also mostly applied to the F-16. The flight control system is also changed from ready-made F-16 systems. As for navigation and bombing standard devices, the same model on the B52h bomber is directly brought over.

In short, in addition to the unique multi-sectional shape and special wave absorbing coating, almost all the components and equipment on the aircraft can see the shadow of other American-made active fighters. To put it nicely, this approach is called applying mature technology to speed up the development progress; to put it nicely, it is no different from hybrid beasts, but thanks to the strong military strength of the United States, this hybridization is natural, so that ordinary people cannot see whether it is a mule or a horse, but Lieutenant General Horner knows the tricks.

It is precisely because of this that when the Iraqi Falcon surface-to-air missile battalion was at its peak, Lieutenant General Horner adjusted his original combat plan against common sense and transferred the "Ghost" squadron composed of four F-117a Nighthawk stealth fighters from vanguard to the second echelon. What is called "to give full play to the combat effectiveness of the F-117a Nighthawk stealth fighter under relatively safe circumstances.

After all, the combat power of the "Falcon" air defense missile system that Iraq has is too shocking. Even if you want to be a conservative general like Horner who is firm and has a strong American supremacy, you have to admit that the troubles of "Falcon" are beyond imagination. If you want to suppress its combat effectiveness, you must adopt more flexible and bold measures to work. Using the m270 rocket launcher to implement firepower suppression is tantamount to becoming the most effective choice.

Because the trajectory of the MGM-140 Army tactical missile system is straight and low, it is difficult for ordinary radar to detect, so that it can be used to eliminate the "Falcon" air defense missile system using the large firepower density. Of course, it doesn't matter if it can be discovered. The unimaginable number will make the electronic technology level significantly inferior to the Western "Falcon" radar system crash due to overload. Even if the above targets have not been achieved, it will lure the "Falcon" counterattack, and then consume its already small ammunition base.

Under such a steady profit and loss cover, the f-117a "Nighthawk" stealth fighter took advantage of the opportunity, using its superb stealth performance, and launched a deadly attack in silent place with lightning speed, thus locking down one's own victory. It can be said that this set of combat plans with one stone and more birds is the essence extracted by Lieutenant General Horner after he devoted himself to studying the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and us. It is strange and unpredictable. As long as it is implemented safely, no matter what the result is, it will mean success and victory for the US military.

However, Lieutenant General Horner did not expect that the final problem would be in execution. You should know that the officers and soldiers involved in this military strike were all his carefully selected confidants, especially the four pilots under the "Ghost" squadron, who were basically his old subordinates.

Horner trusted them very much, especially the squadron leader Lieutenant Colonel Dulles, who was brought up by him. They had long been inseparable from each other. Because of this, Lieutenant General Horner believed that he could hold on to Lieutenant Colonel Dulles and wait for the good news of victory.

Unexpectedly, the victory was not yet heard, and he also received a data link communication signal that could expose the f-117 stealth fighter fleet. This shocked Lieutenant General Horner, who had tried his best to hide the f-117 heart-piercing arrow, was extremely shocked. At the beginning, he couldn't believe that this was true. He knew that after multiple verifications, he was willing to accept such an incredible reality. But because of this, Lieutenant General Horner, who was already a hot temper, immediately furious:

"This Dulles is simply an idiot, a bastard..."

In the empty command hall, Lieutenant General Horner's curse echoed constantly, and his clenched fist hit the table in front of him with a "bang~~bang~~" and if it weren't for the silence of the f-117 radio, Horner would have grabbed the commanding caller and poured these unrepeated swear words on Dulles' head. He had to be angry. He had used such great strength to hide the true intention of f-117, and the so-called "to give Iraq an unexpected kill,"

However, this ultimate kill that was carefully arranged by Horner was completely exposed to the public by Lieutenant Colonel Dulles, which may have been completely exposed to the public, resulting in a tragic ending of failure. In this way, how can Lieutenant General Horner not be allowed to rush into blood and be furious?

"General, are you worried too much? Even if Lieutenant Colonel Dulles violates the rules and breaks the iron law of electronic silence of stealth fighter jets, it is just a short data link communication information. With Iraq's current technical level, it should not be discovered."

"Yes, general, although we have suffered a lot of losses, Iraq is even more tragic. They should not have the ability."

"I agree with this view, of course, even if they hit the fortune and really find this signal, can we conclude that they can really lock in the f-117? You know, that is a stealth fighter, which is immune to all radars. This is not an exaggeration, but a fact..."

"Yes, yes, yes! For stealth fighters, breaking this radio silence has almost zero impact on it..."

Seeing Lieutenant General Horner cursing loudly, a group of senior generals and confidant staff quickly surrounded him and persuaded him in a verbal manner. In fact, these words were not to excuse Lieutenant Colonel Dulles, but to a true inner portrayal. Joke, what is the "Nighthawk"?

The US military's ace, the most mysterious dark night assassin, has been synonymous with myths and legends since its birth. If it is not done, it will be the master of a world. It is such a science fiction masterpiece. Except for aliens or God's presence, creatures on the earth cannot shoot it down, even the "Falcon" air defense missile system that has repeatedly hit a wall in the US military.

Lieutenant General Horner naturally knew the thoughts of the American generals and generals around him. To be honest, he thought so, but the battlefield changes rapidly and anything is likely to happen. Although f-117 has his unique advantages, can he be said to be invincible in the world? Lieutenant General Horner, who is extremely realistic, wouldn't he think so. Because of this, facing everyone's consolation, Lieutenant General Horner not accepts it, but instead glances at everyone with a sharp look:

"But if there is a one-percent loophole, it requires 100% effort to make up for it, otherwise it will pay several times or even dozens of times the heavy price. Isn't the loss you have suffered in the Iraqi Falcon air defense missile system in the past half month? Isn't it enough to explain all this?"

"this........"

Hearing this, the US generals and officers looked at each other and never dared to say anything more. There was no way. It was because of their arrogance and contempt that the coalition air force suffered unimaginable losses in the past half month. Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Lieutenant General Horner suddenly knocked his fist on the table with a "dong~~dong~~" twice, and then ordered in a tone without questioning:

"Send instructions to the 'ghost', change the attack direction immediately, go north immediately, implement a large radius detour, and go around behind and then launch an attack. Well... By the way, how many mgm-140 Army tactical missile systems do we have in our hands now?"

"Less than 20!" a consultant replied.

"If you shoot it all out, if there is not enough, use the 'spear' ground-to-ground missile to fill it up, and then use a fire cover for the 'ghost'."

"yes!"

The staff responded in unison, and immediately sent the instructions as quickly as possible...
