When U.S. bombers were raging over the heads of the Iraqis without any scruples, a dozen red light spots suddenly appeared on the screen at the U.S. Air Force headquarters. The soldiers at the U.S. console looked at the radar screen with their eyes widened.
"Shet, God, am I blind? Enemy planes appeared over Iraq? Colonel White, come here and take a look!"
Hearing the soldier at the console yelling, the officer immediately came over: "Joseph, what's going on?"
"Sir, the radar shows that sixteen enemy planes have appeared over Tikrit about thirty kilometers to the north. It is only twenty-eight kilometers away now!"
After White heard this, he immediately stared at the radar screen. Sure enough, more than a dozen red dots appeared at the top of the screen. On the U.S. military radar screen, friendly forces were green and enemy forces were red. Since the U.S. military attacked Iraq from the first
Since the beginning of the second day, no red mark has appeared on the radar screen. Today is the first time.
"Is there a problem with the Identification Friend or Foe system? Notify the escort fighter formation above Tikrit to prepare to meet the enemy! We were discovered when we were close to 30 kilometers away. Are all our radars just decorations?"
White frowned and thought for a moment, then immediately issued the order. Regardless of whether there was a problem with his own system, the most important thing now was to eliminate the enemies that appeared in front of him and not let them get close to his bomber formation.
"Roger! But sir, our escort fighter fleet only dispatched one escort formation, four F22s!"
"Let all fighter squadrons from the nearest air force base take off immediately and prepare to meet the enemy. Damn it, don't let the tragedy of Kosovo happen again!" After White finished speaking, he immediately started to pick up the communicator and give orders.
Over Tikrit, four American F22 fighter jets immediately broke away from the bomber formation after receiving the order and began to drive quickly towards the north.
"No. 1 found the target, lock the target!"
"No. 2 found the target, lock the target!"
"..."
"No. 4 found the target, lock the target!"
"emission!"
Four air-to-air combat missiles fell from under the wings of the F22, and then orange flames appeared from the tail and flew towards the Iraqi fighter group in the distance.
Four Iraqi fighter planes were instantly destroyed as soon as they issued the word "locked". Four Iraqi fighter planes were immediately lost before they even saw the US fighter jets.
However, the Iraqis are not without any combat capabilities. The distance of more than 30 kilometers passed in an instant. Iraqi fighter jets also began to launch air-to-air combat missiles. However, the number of generations of their aircraft and missiles was somewhat different from that of the Americans. Four missiles
, did not hit a U.S. fighter jet, and at the same time two more fighter jets were shot down by the U.S. military.
"These Iraqi fighter jets are really vulnerable. I shot down two of them. Wow, it looks like my record has been raised to thirteen!" The No. 2 fighter pilot saw that the two fighter jets he had locked onto were destroyed.
After that, they immediately shouted excitedly. These Americans did not take these Iraqi fighter jets into their eyes at all.
"Luckily, I only shot down one small turkey! There are ten more small turkeys, come on!" After Air Force Three finished speaking, he once again locked onto an Iraqi fighter jet and pressed the launch button.
Just when the US military was about to shoot down all the Iraqi aircraft, four US military fighter jets issued a warning at the same time: "Warning, locked, warning, locked!"
"We are locked, ready to launch decoy bombs!" Fighter No. 1, the commander of the US military escort formation, immediately shouted loudly. After hearing the order, the other three US military fighter jets began to launch decoy bombs, more than a dozen of them.
An Iraqi surface-to-air missile emerged from the clouds and hit a decoy bomb launched by a US fighter jet.
"Damn, there's something wrong with my wing. Please return, please return!" Although the U.S. No. 2 fighter jet was not directly hit, the Iraqi surface-to-air missile hit the decoy bomb, and the fragments after the explosion hit the No. 2 fighter.
There was a problem with the wing of the fighter jet, and it started to lose control.
"Received, agree to request to withdraw from the battle. On the 4th, you will escort the 2nd, and the two of us will deal with these Iraqis!" After saying that, the No.2 fighter jet broke away from the fighter group, and the No.4 fighter jet followed behind and began to escort.
Qusay has been observing the fighting situation in the air with a telescope. US and Iraqi fighter jets have appeared in the sky above Tikrit. From the ground, the fighting situation of the air forces on both sides can be clearly seen.
"Damn, almost!" Kusai punched the armored vehicle next to him. He carefully planned this air strike. He didn't care at all about the loss of sixteen fighter jets. What he cared about was whether he could knock down the American fighter jets.
, as long as one US military fighter jet can be shot down, as long as one F22 fighter jet can be shot down, it will be a big victory for the Iraqis.
"Haha, but it's not over yet. These damn Americans, I will definitely let you taste the taste of failure!" After Kusai finished speaking, Leng Shang showed a cold smile, followed by Okamoto Sakata and others.
Marcelo couldn't help but shuddered when he saw it.
The final result of the air battle ended when the U.S. military shot down all the Iraqi fighter jets. The remaining two U.S. fighter jets also used up all their air-to-air combat missiles and began to return. The U.S. bombers also began to retreat. Without the cover of the fighter jets, the bombers did not dare to act unscrupulously.
hovering in the sky, twelve Iraqi fighter jets once again appeared in the distance.
The second batch of American escort formations had not yet arrived on the battlefield. There was a three-minute interval in between. In three minutes, the battlefield began to be taken over by the Iraqis. Eleven of the twelve Iraqi fighter jets were escort fighter jets.
The aircraft carried four air-to-surface missiles.
"boom……"
A series of explosions rang out. This time, it was not the Iraqi army's position that exploded, but the American position. All four air-to-surface missiles were thrown into the US military position, and one of them was directly inserted into the U-shaped building.
On the north building, there was a dull explosion from the north tower, and then flames shot into the sky. The surviving American soldiers escaped from the building, and more American soldiers were killed on the spot.
"Damn it, where is our air force? Why are there Iraqi bombers here?" John stood in the command post, watching the North Tower burst into flames, and froze on the spot. The Americans on the battlefield had a brief ceasefire.
, Americans never dreamed that they would be bombed by the Iraqis.
"Sir, our fighter jets are coming!"
At this time, more than a dozen US military fighter jets appeared in the southern sky. The reinforcements were either late or on their way to being late.
