Although with the gradual development of electronic technology, computers have gradually replaced human functions. For example, in this early warning aircraft, the computer can determine which target poses the greatest threat, greatly reducing the burden on personnel.
However, Sartre knew that no matter where they are, people are always the most important, experienced commanders, which cannot be replaced by computers.
Two fighter jets were discovered taking off. Does this mean that Israel wants to launch an attack? Sartre immediately paid attention.
¡° However, later, the radar of the early warning aircraft showed that the two fighters did not fly eastward after taking off, but instead flew westward, and soon entered the sky over the Mediterranean Sea.
What do the Israelis want to do? Definitely no ordinary flight training! Sartre thought silently in his heart.
In order to avoid being attacked by the other side and losing precious early warning aircraft, the Ericsson God Eye early warning aircraft has been flying over Jordan, which is a full 200 kilometers away from the Israeli territory. In this way, if Israeli aircraft make a sneak attack, they can If you get an alert immediately, your own escort fighter jets will be fully prepared. At the same time, this distance will put the entire Israeli land within the warning range of their early warning aircraft, which can be monitored and very safe. From here From this point of view, Israel is very envious.
This is the inherent flaw of Israel, which has a narrow territory, and it is inevitable.
However, their detection range cannot be unlimited. The two planes that left the sky over Israel and flew to the Mediterranean quickly disappeared from the edge of their screen.
The night sky became calm again. Only Sartre knew that this unusual situation represented some kind of danger. He sent a message to the rear command, and the front-line fighter units entered first-level combat readiness and were ready to take off at any time.
In the night sky, Israeli pilot Jon looked at the darkness outside, and then looked at the instruments under the background light in the cockpit. This time, they were about to complete a difficult but necessary mission.
They need to get under the belly of the airliner!
If they get directly under the belly of the passenger plane at the nearest place, then that place is within the surveillance range of the Iraqi early warning aircraft. In this way, the personnel on the Iraqi early warning aircraft will definitely become suspicious when they see the two light spots overlap. Therefore, they must fly a little further west to reach beyond the opponent's detection range.
So, they flew to the west to the Mediterranean Sea and waited for its arrival on the passenger plane's route.
They maintained radio silence, still receiving messages from a radar station in Ashdod, and adjusting their direction from time to time.
Finally, they were able to see a bright spot in their field of vision. The bright spot slowly grew larger and kept flashing. It was the navigation light of a normal night flight passenger plane.
An EgyptAir passenger plane is flying on the Mediterranean Sea. This is just a short trip, and most of the passengers are Egyptians.
Now, with the gradual improvement of technology, the Y-10 passenger aircraft jointly produced by Iraq and China has begun to have a wide range of sales in the Arab world. EgyptAir has also purchased ten Y-10 passenger aircraft and put them into commercial operation.
After passing by the passenger plane, the two F-15 fighter jets made a beautiful turn in the air, and then they slowly got close to it.
Even during the day, flying in dense formations is a very dangerous maneuver. A little carelessness can lead to a tragic collision, not to mention at night. If you want to be seen as a bright spot on the radar, the distance is quite large. It has to be very close.
Jon operated his fighter plane and slowly moved closer.
Jon is an outstanding pilot in the Israeli Air Force. Just nine years ago, when Jon was a student pilot in the front cabin of an F-15, he collided with an A-4 attack aircraft. The attack plane exploded into a fireball and the pilot ejected safely, but the right wing of Jon's plane was knocked off.
Although the instructor in the back seat ordered a parachute, Jon, as a student pilot, resolutely drove the plane back, creating a legend. Even Boeing couldn't believe that their plane lost a wing. In this case, you can return safely.
Since then, Jon has fallen in love with the F-15. He has always felt that as soon as he gets on the plane, he will become one with the aircraft.
Jon dares to challenge various difficult movements, such as now.
Helicopter pilots can wear night vision goggles, but fighter pilots are not allowed to add anything to their helmets. Otherwise, high overload movements can break the cervical vertebrae at any time. Even Soviet helmet sights are strictly weight-limited.
However, as the most advanced fighter aircraft, the F-15¡¯s night combat capability is also excellent because,?It carries an infrared pod, which can simultaneously display the detected image on the multi-function display in front.
It was with this help, and the other party's goal was already very obvious, Jon carefully operated the operating lever, getting closer and closer to the passenger plane, and finally, he was pressed tightly against the other party's Under the belly.
However, the mission was not completed yet. Behind Jon, the pilot of another F-15, Edley, was also operating his own fighter plane, approaching slowly.
This is also their most difficult task. What is stuck under the belly of the passenger plane is not one fighter jet, but two!
The Iraqi early warning aircraft is surrounded by a squadron of fighter jets, so if they only dispatch one fighter jet, it will definitely not be effective. And it is impossible for two passenger planes to fly at the same time, so there is only one result: they can only choose the most dangerous one. Two fighter jets were stuffed under the belly of a passenger plane at the same time.
It would be better if there were four, but they themselves knew that four was absolutely impossible.
There were more than a hundred passengers in the passenger plane above. By doing this, they were simply betting on the more than a hundred innocent people on the plane. However, they couldn't care about so many. During the war, all actions were acceptable. , what they need is success!
Jon¡¯s plane was in front, and Edley¡¯s plane was behind. The two planes got under the passenger plane at the same time, with a height difference of three meters up and down and five meters in front and back.
The only thing that was good enough was that the flight of the passenger plane above was relatively smooth. Unlike light aircraft, sudden airflow would cause it to sway back and forth, so the aircraft flew very smoothly.
In the Ericsson God Eye early warning aircraft, Sater looked at the radar screen, but the two light spots never appeared. Now, they were flying north, preparing to turn back again before reaching the border with Syria.
Tonight, apart from supporting the Su-25 attack aircraft of two squadrons, it seems that they have no more tasks. They have been flying on the early warning aircraft for more than seven hours and working for nearly four hours.
There are two combat teams on the plane, which change shifts every two hours to ensure maximum energy. Moreover, if they cruise for another ten minutes, they will return to the ground and another AWACS aircraft will take over their operations.
After returning to the ground, take a hot bath and have a good sleep. This is probably what many people think. This is the time when they are most relaxed.
It seems that Israel will not make any big moves this time.
Only Sartre glanced at the radar screen and saw an obvious bright spot at the edge.
"What is that?" Sartre asked.
"That's an international waterway. It's an Egyptian passenger plane bound for Syria. We have confirmed its identity five minutes ago.
Now, it is already nine fifty.
Looking at the bright spot, it is getting closer and closer to our side, and the routes of both sides form an acute angle.
Suddenly, Sartre remembered something alertly, immediately dialed the intercom switch on the headset, and said urgently: "Captain, please turn immediately and fly south!"
As an experienced early warning officer, Sartre had been wondering just now, what on earth were those two planes doing? Even if they were for flight training, should they return home and take a detour to attack Saudi Arabia? Going to the Sinai Peninsula was too far and not valuable enough. When he saw the passenger plane again, Sartre suddenly remembered that the routes of the two fighter planes flying west should overlap with this passenger plane. Later, he That's when I thought of that possibility.
Now, they are more than 130 kilometers away from the passenger plane, which is a dangerous distance.
After receiving Sartre¡¯s message, the captain immediately operated the operating lever in his hand and twisted it to the right.
Having a mushroom disk on the top of the head will cause damage to the aerodynamic layout, and it is originally a transport aircraft, so the maneuverability of this aircraft is very low.
As long as they fly another thirty kilometers, they can leave the passenger plane and go to attack. Jon felt a little sweat on his back. This kind of flight is indeed a challenge that tests the pilot's will and courage.
Fortunately, they all did it, just a few more minutes would be enough.
At this moment, I heard the ground guide breaking the radio silence and saying: "The early warning aircraft turned in advance, immediately separated from the passenger plane according to the original plan, and launched an attack quickly!"
Hearing this sound, Aideli immediately pressed down the operating lever and left the passenger plane. At the same time, he began to make various preparations for the attack, activating the two Sparrow air-to-air missiles under the wings, and at the same time turning on the radar to prepare to guide his own missiles.
One spot of light suddenly turned into two, Sartre knew??My judgment is correct.
The radar guide immediately notified the escort formation to prepare to intercept the incoming fighter plane.
At the same time, multiple signals appeared on the radar screen of the early warning aircraft. They were the Israeli Air Force taking off in large numbers.
The Israeli Air Force must adapt to the situation. Shooting down an opponent's early warning aircraft does not mean that the mission has been completed, because another early warning aircraft will take off to take over. Therefore, they must act quickly. While shooting down the opponent, their own aircraft The air force fighter planes are about to arrive at the opponent's air force base and blow up those fighter planes on the runway.
