() "The other party has not turned on the ground response system. It seems that only the air response system can work." The technician looked helpless.
At this time, on the radar screen, five Predator drones had already surrounded the F16C and were fighting in the air. The Iraqi pilot's only advantage was that the fighting capabilities of these Predator drones were not strong. , but it is still very troublesome once locked by them, and there are still five of them.
Aziz is no longer in the mood to fight the drones. Now he is thinking about where to go. It is obvious that he has no intention of surrendering in Basra. After all, the Prophet Army here is just a provincial government and has no power to fight with the drones. U.S. military confrontation.
Other countries in the Middle East have no ability to land him at all, and the best place to go is Iran. This country can definitely guarantee his safety. An F16C is also the best certificate of surrender. Iran is not afraid of the United States, but Personally, he was very reluctant to go to Iran. After all, after the Iran-Iraq War broke out, Iran and Iraq were feuding, and his parents died under the bombing of the Iranian Air Force.
At this time, three detachment planes taking off from the US military base were also spotted on his radar screen. Aziz gritted his teeth: "We can only go to Iran."
Just as he was about to start supersonic cruise to get rid of the five drones, suddenly a recognition voice came from his air-to-air radio system: "UFO, you are about to enter Basra airspace. I am Basra Air Force Bird 1. Please identify yourself." purpose of coming."
Aziz was not prepared to answer at first, but he thought that if he wanted to enter Iran, he would have to pass through the airspace of Basra. If he was intercepted by Basra, it would delay things, so he turned on the response system: "I am the Iraqi Air Force, Osprey 1, forced by the US military." I carry out bombing missions against you. As an Iraqi Air Force, I refuse to bomb my compatriots. Now I will go to Iran and hope that you will make way for me." fu You are just defecting, but if you leave Iraq, you are Treason, why don't you land at Basra Airport, the Prophet Army will provide you with protection." Bai Wuchang thought for a while and said.
Aziz found it a bit funny and thought to himself, how could you two J-7Ms possibly deal with the US military fleet after landing at Basra Airport? It is estimated that in less than half an hour, US military bombings will come immediately, and there are also five Predators. The hunter is hunting him.
"Your capabilities are not enough to stop the new round of bombing by the US military, so I would be very grateful if you could clear the way for me." Aziz's tone was as gentle as possible, but he was already ready to force it. The plan to break through.
The other party was silent for a few seconds and appeared in his field of vision, keeping parallel to him. Aziz frowned, but at this moment, the other party suddenly said: "It seems that you don't believe that we have protection." Given your strength, how about giving us a few minutes and letting us destroy the five Predators behind us first."
"Sorry, I don't have time to cooperate with you. The US military fighter jets have already taken off. You should be prepared to be attacked by air strikes." Aziz suddenly said, and at the same time started supersonic cruise.
But at this moment, the radar warning system suddenly sent a red warning: "Warning, locked, warning, locked."
Aziz's face changed drastically. He thought he was locked by the Predator drone behind him, but he soon discovered that something was wrong. Through the canopy, he noticed that the J-7m pilot on the side made a gesture to him, and then there was His voice: "Don't panic, man, these are our missiles."
After hearing this, Aziz couldn't believe how Basra could have such an advanced air defense system, but he determined that the locking direction was not from the Predator drone behind him, but from Basra in front. At this time, he had already entered Basra airspace, and the pilot on the other side obviously meant to threaten.
So Aziz could only slow down and enter normal cruise, but he did not reply to the pilot, but wanted to see what they were doing.
But the next scene shocked him. He saw dozens of anti-aircraft missiles quickly appearing on his radar screen. The alarm became louder, and they were all coming from his side. If the opposite plane hadn't been so close, he might have thought that There are missiles aimed at you.
When the missiles streaked across the night sky of Basra and passed him by, it was only a matter of a moment. However, dozens of missiles passed by one after another, and the violent "swish" sound still made him break out in cold sweat and his clothes were stained. Got wet.
The sound of "booming" explosions kept coming. Such precise attacks and locks made Aziz swallow his saliva and thought to himself: "How can Basra have such an advanced air defense system? This is impossible. Is it an illusion? .”
But when he looked at the J-7M next to him, he found that the pilot on the opposite side gave him a victory gesture, and then the radio voice came at the same time: "Five Predators have been wiped out one after another. Now we can talk about landing at Basra Airport." It’s something.”
Aziz didn't know what to say and was silent for a few seconds before asking: "What kind of missile was that just now?"
"S-300 surface-to-air missile system." Bai Wuchang replied, "The ultimate version of the pride."
Aziz swallowed, glad that he had chosen to switch sides temporarily, otherwise he would have been locked in without waiting for Basra's two fighter jets to dispatch. It was obviously difficult for the F16C to evade such advanced anti-aircraft missiles.
The display of weapons in Basra made Aziz completely give up his plan to go to Iran. After all, Bai Wuchang said a lot. His defection from the new government of Iraq can be said to be surrender, but if he leaves Iraq, it will be treason. Now Basra has enough If China's air defense capabilities are used to resist the US military, what reason does he have to go to Iran?
At the Baghdad Air Force Base, when the Air Force staff saw the five Predator drones disappearing from the radar, everyone looked extremely ugly. They had just captured the traces of the missiles, and they were so fast that the drones had no time to evade them. , it was directly destroyed.
"It's an anti-aircraft missile. It seemed like dozens of anti-aircraft missiles were fired from the ground in Basra just now," the air force staff officer said to himself.
Obviously they don't believe that there are anti-aircraft missiles in Basra. Even if there are, they may not be able to destroy the drones so quickly. However, the dozens of missiles fired in succession just now were so fast that their radar air defense system did not respond until they got close to the drones. Capture how terrible this is.
"Find out for me what's going on." Natasha looked indignant.
Soon the staff gave instructions. Surveillance cameras were installed on the Predator drones. The scene of the final explosion was called out. Almost at the same time, the staff also obtained some information based on the speed data after the missile was launched. information, but when they got this information, they couldn't believe it and were even frightened.
"What on earth is it?" Natasha asked.
The staff officer said squeakingly: "It's an S-300 surface-to-air missile, sir."
Everyone in the entire command tower had extremely ugly faces. This anti-aircraft missile is the most advanced air defense weapon in the world today, second only to the Russian S-400 and the US military's Standard-3.
When the Basra ground forces acquired this missile, the regional balance in Iraq was completely shattered. There are no more than ten countries in the world that possess such missiles, and they will definitely not include countries in sensitive areas like the Middle East, including Russia. After supporting Iran for so long, it has not sold even one such missile to Iran, which shows the sensitivity of this missile.
During the Libyan civil war, Russia once thought about selling this advanced missile system to the Libyan air defense force. At that time, the NATO air force led by the United States became panicked, because once the North Vietnam military alliance interferes in the internal affairs of other countries, it will basically They were all bombed by planes, and very few ground troops were sent out.
Once such an anti-aircraft missile appears in Libya, it will pose a great risk for the NATO air force to enter the bombing. There is almost a 50% chance of being shot down. However, there are very few aircraft in the world today that can withstand such missiles. Even the most recent The advanced F22 Raptor also has to be evaded under specific circumstances. Once it is locked by multiple missiles, there is a probability of being shot down.
The emergence of this kind of missile in Basra means that the regional balance has been broken. At least the US Air Force is no longer safe in the skies over Iraq. With the range of this missile, it can cover almost the entire Iraqi airspace.
"With our current air power, can we destroy their missile launchers?" Although Natasha looked bad, she was not panicked. Knowing Canglong, she would not have saved Basra without some means. zhengfu has invited bids.
The staff officer shook his head: "Since we withdrew from here, a lot of equipment has been destroyed. It will take a long time to rebuild it, not to mention that this kind of missile is 100% effective against the F15e and F16d currently in service in the Air Force in Iraq. About fifty to sixty points, the most important thing is that we have not locked onto their missile positions, and without a ground intelligence network, it is difficult to carry out accurate and effective strikes, and we don’t know how many missile radar vehicles they have.”
Natasha frowned: "That means our air force is now under the threat of Basra missiles."
"Theoretically, this is the case. Iraq does not have strategic depth. This missile can completely cover the entire Iraqi airspace. Once our aircraft takes off, it will be discovered by their air defense system and locked quickly." Staff 1510 said.
"Let the team complete the mission and return home." Natasha ordered with a disappointed look on her face.
The chief of staff quickly ordered the three detachments to return immediately. At this time, everyone felt that they had lost their wives and lost their troops.
At the same time, reporters at the Zhengfu Building in Basra Province were still in shock, because the sight of twelve missiles streaking across the night sky was so shocking, it was like going back to the time when the Iraq War just started, when the US military attacked Bombing of various key points in Iraq.
When they came back to their senses, the sound of "Lung-Lung" aircraft was heard in the sky. The reporters were frightened at that time, thinking that the missile just failed to shoot down the attacking aircraft.
Canglong quickly said: "Don't panic. All eight Predator drones sent for air strikes have been shot down. There is also another major news. I believe you will be very interested, if you are willing to accompany me to the airport."
This bombshell news made reporters unable to react. Although on the surface everyone said it was the Iraqi Air Force, in fact everyone knew that it was a plane from the US military stationed in Iraq. It could shoot down an American drone. What does this mean?
