Chapter 288: Air Defense Trap
At dawn, Rick opened his eyes, next to the pillow, a delicate face appeared in front of him, at this time, she slept soundly, her long eyelashes, moved from time to time, and the exhaled air kept spraying on Rick's face, and Rick could feel the faint fragrance.
The quilt has slipped to the ground at some point, and at this time, what appeared in front of Rick was a slender body, the jade back was smooth and delicate, the curves were moving, the two round buttocks were so attractive, and the slender thighs were simply the figure of the devil.
With the breath, this body shook slightly, and Rick felt another ** expanding.
………
The skies are clear, and these days are simply a godsend in South Africa's often dusty weather.
Two Mirage 3 fighters flew low over the battlefield, with bombs mounted under the wings, indicating that this time it was another bombing mission to support the army.
The South African pilots looked at this land, and it won't be long before UNITA will completely occupy this place, and the Cubans will be completely driven away!
Suddenly, in his headphones, a sharp radar alarm receiver sounded: "You've been locked, you've been locked!" ”
The pilot was suddenly startled, pressed the lever, and made a skillful escape maneuver, but it was too late.
On the ground, a Sam-6 missile, dragging a tongue of fire in the tail, flew into the sky, and the ramjet engine made the speed of the missile increase rapidly, and before the Mirage-3 had time to maneuver to get rid of it, it was already hit.
Another Mirage 3 fighter did not escape, the pilot flew over at an ultra-low altitude, trying to use his own bomb to throw it at the opponent's position, and the Sam-6 missile only had a guidance radar. When attacking his companions, they will not continue to attack him.
However, just as the pilot had already aimed at the radar launcher, the seemingly ordinary grass suddenly stretched out several cannon barrels into the air.
23-mm anti-aircraft guns, firing shells into the sky. The barrage instantly surrounded this Phantom 3, and the fuselage trembled.
Suddenly, one side of the wing fluttered, and a 23-mm shell tore open the wing and blew up a large piece.
The pilot tried to operate the fighter, but he could not stop the plane from falling, and he could only pull the ejection handle. Flew out of the cockpit.
Two Mirage 3 fighters were ambushed by the Cuban air defense forces and crashed.
When Rick, who was in uniform, returned to his office, the secretary Irina followed him, walking in a weird posture.
"Mr. Advisor, a few minutes ago. Two of our Mirage 3 fighters, shot down by Cuban air defenses. "Rick who just sat down in a chair. I received such a message.
"It seems that the Cubans have smuggled in another batch of anti-aircraft missiles to pose a threat to our air power." Rick said: "Order the A-7 attack aircraft, stop ground support, and strangle these anti-aircraft missiles in the rear with all their might!" Tomcat fighters take off to prevent the Cuban Air Force from taking the opportunity to sneak attack! ”
Same issue. But Rick's strategy is different, last time Rick let the Tomcat fighter and the A-7 attack aircraft combine to form a hunting team, but this time, it is the A-7 alone.
Because the environment is different for the two times. Last time, they had beaten the Cuban air force completely immobilized, and the Tomcat fighters could effortlessly join the ground strangulation, and this time, the Cuban anti-aircraft missile unit was restored, which indicates that their air force may also be ready.
Thanks to the constant flow of aid from the Soviet Union, the equipment of the Cubans could be constantly updated.
Rick's order was quickly conveyed, and at the air base, A-7 attack planes loaded with weapons began to take off.
Two Mozu missiles, four Maverick missiles, and two rocket launch nests.
At the same time, the Tomcat fighter jet also took off again, and in the airspace of Angola, the Tomcat fighter was cruising back and forth.
Two A-7 attack aircraft, along the line of fire, headed north, where they were going to search for anti-aircraft missiles on the ground.
Under the wing, a Maverick missile, already activated, is constantly searching the ground below, which is displayed synchronously on the display in front of the pilot.
Another A-7 attack aircraft, showing an image with a green image, under his wing, mounted an infrared imaging seeker Maverick missile.
In Pakistan, the United States did not export infrared image-guided Maverick missiles, but on the battlefield in Angola, after several communications from Commander Rick, the United States finally exported a batch. Moreover, the weapons in the base, when used up, will eventually be returned to the American side.
The two fighters searched at low altitude, combing the ground repeatedly like combs.
Suddenly, the pilot of the A-7 attack aircraft in front, vigilantly looking at his own screen, zoomed in, and finally, saw a missile launcher covered by a camouflage net, and around it, an anti-aircraft missile unit was arranged in a ring!
"Cuban anti-aircraft missiles were discovered, ready to attack." The pilot said, lowering the altitude while activating another Maverick missile, ready to attack.
At the same time, the A-7 attack aircraft behind him was also preparing to follow into the attack course.
On the ground, a Cuban commander whispered: "Attention, it's coming in soon, hit me hard, even if we are all bombed, we will shoot down the American plane!"
By now, they already knew that American planes were involved in the Angolan civil war, and those planes flew overhead every day, and they had long recognized that they were A-7 attack planes and powerful Tomcat fighters, but they had no way of knowing who was flying the fighters, and they could only infer that they were either Americans or South Africans.
Anyway, since they are here, you must let them know that the sky here is still Cuban!
In the case that the fighters are not as advanced as them, they can only use special methods, and now, it is a trap they have arranged!
Those exposed anti-aircraft missile positions, launch vehicles, power supply vehicles, are all models!
They made a model out of mud, and then arranged a camouflage net, and from the sky, it looked like the real thing.
And just on the front flanks of these models, they laid out new positions, four Shile self-propelled anti-aircraft guns!
This is an anti-aircraft weapon aided by the Soviet Union, a four-barreled 23-mm anti-aircraft gun, with strong firepower, last time it was with this kind of anti-aircraft artillery that the Mirage 3 was shot down, this time, they are still confident that they will use this anti-aircraft gun to beat down the American A-7 attack aircraft!
Some positions use the Sam-6 model as a decoy and attack with self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery on the Shile River, and some, in turn, use the Shile River as a bait and attack with the Sam-6!
In short, this is a new idea that the Cubans have come up with, and now they are going to use this method of attack to achieve results.
In order not to expose their target, they dug a pit in the ground and put the Shile River anti-aircraft gun in the pit, only the turret part was exposed, and it could rotate 360 degrees without being affected, and the fighters in the sky would not notice such a tiny target at all, and the barrel was also wrapped around the branches, just like the ground.
The first A-7 attack aircraft, which did not notice, flew towards the target spotted by the television seeker and at the same time prepared to attack with missiles.
The maximum range of the Maverick missile is more than 40 kilometers, and in terms of range, it will not fly into the trap of the Shile River, but the TV-guided Maverick, after launching, must continue to fly with the nose of the aircraft pointing at the target, and the pilot needs to constantly press the target with a crosshair, and in the process, he will fly into the trap of the Shile River.
In the past, there was not much danger in doing this, if the opponent's radar was turned on, then the Mozu would be launched first, and the Mozu would be defeated by the Mozu Bird, and if the radar was lost, the opponent's missile would not have any chance to be launched.
Now, the opponent's missile position is hidden, the radar is not turned on, and the Mozu missile is not responding, so he doesn't have to worry.
Piloting a ground attack aircraft, often shuttling through enemy anti-aircraft fire, they are psychologically very strong.
Now, he plans to use the Maverick missile to attack two of the targets first, and when he gets closer, the nose of the aircraft is lowered, and the rockets in the rocket launch nest will turn the opponent's entire position into a sea of fire, and none of those missile vehicles are left.
However, the pilot behind him who followed him into the attack route began to wonder how it was too abnormal for his own side to fly so obviously, but the opponent's missile position did not have the slightest reaction, and waited for his own side to attack like this!
People are running away? That is absolutely impossible, and the cost of such anti-aircraft missile equipment is also very expensive, and the Cubans have not wasted it so much.
Well, most likely, there is a problem here!
Thinking of this, he turned the handle of the control system, the Maverick missile of the infrared imaging seeker, the seeker turned, and suddenly, just eight kilometers ahead, a special infrared heat source was discovered!
Four heat sources, distributed on both sides of the attack route, just formed an ambush circle!
The infrared heat source must have come from the engine! Here's a trap!
"Pull up, pull up, there's a trap ahead!" The pilot of this fighter plane shouted over the radio that at this time, the long plane in front of him was less than four kilometers away from those heat sources, which was very dangerous. At the same time, quickly lock on to one of the targets.
Television guidance or laser guidance needs to continue to aim at the target after launching, but infrared imaging guidance does not need to be used, and it has completely become a weapon that does not matter after launch.
The pilot locked, pressed the launch button, for a total of less than a second, and then, after activating another missile, locking onto the second target, and firing the second missile, the A-7 pulled up.
The first A-7, after receiving the alarm, immediately followed and pulled up, at this time, the radar warning receiver rang out violently. (To be continued......)
