Isfahan Air Base. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧

Originally, this was just an ordinary base, and the scale was not very large, but after the Iraqis occupied the port of Khomeini, it suddenly became important, it was a very suitable place to take off from here, it was relatively safe in terms of geographical location, and it was relatively close to the front line.

Therefore, in this operation, this base has been greatly applied, a large number of F4, F5 and Jian-7 have been stationed in this base, and this base, which originally only has 20 hangars, is not enough, and some fighters have to be parked in the open air.

As the battle progressed, the ground crew worked tirelessly to maintain the normal fighting of the fighters, but with each sortie, some fighters would never come back, and they had begun to despair of the future.

In particular, the news on the front line that the attack of their own armored forces has failed, and all of them have been annihilated by the Iraqi army, which is nearly 10,000 people! That force is all their hope for this operation, and the air force lost so many fighters and so many pilots in the first day of the attack, just so that this force can conquer Abadan and wash away the shame of the Iranian army.

But now, it is they who are being shamed.

They were discouraged, but they were still working hard, they needed to keep the Air Force running, and just last night, the order came again to keep them bombing Abadan and bombing Basra. ≦≧

However, they all know that the current bombing is no longer meaningless. And the Iraqis will no longer be so easy to be raided, their defenses must be more perfect, and attacking, it means that they will have greater casualties.

Warriors are proud to die on the battlefield, but. It also depends on whether such a death is meaningful.

The pilots of the Iranian Air Force were making final preparations before departure, and the ground crews began to collect the ammunition needed for the attack. Mounted on their warplane.

Now there are only one and a half squadrons of F4 fighters and two squadrons of J-7 fighters plus two F5s, for a total of only sixteen. Unable to take off due to war damage and mechanical failure. Lost half of their lineup.

Iranian procurement personnel are now urging factories to work overtime in Chengfeili, hoping to bring in more fighter jets.

On one side of the airport, a radar antenna is rotating, monitoring the situation around the airport and preventing attacks from the other side. ≦≧

Suddenly, the radar operator noticed two strange signals, rapidly approaching.

Look at the height. It is already at an altitude of more than 20,000 meters, a height that only Iraq's MiG-25 can reach, but looking at the speed, it exceeds the limit speed of the MiG-25, and now there are more than Mach 3!

It's speeding towards the airbase!

Suddenly, this signal on the radar screen disappeared.

The radar operator was alarmed, he knew, and this signal disappeared. It does not mean that the other party has disappeared, but because the other party has flown above his own diagonal angle, exceeding the maximum elevation angle of the radar, the radar beam cannot reach, so during this time, the radar will not be able to capture the target.

However, in general, such a fast target, in a few seconds, will reappear on the radar screen, and as soon as the opponent flies directly above the radar, it can be caught by the radar again.

However, I didn't expect that after a few seconds, the target was still not found.

Well, there is only one possibility!

The other party did not fly off the sky above his head, but fell from the top of his head!

There is only one thing capable of such an attack, ballistic missiles!

Iran's radar operator, immediately reported to the commander of the airfield that the airfield had been attacked by Iraqi missiles!

It's just that before he could complete his report, bad luck had already come. ≦≧

The Scud missile has completed its range and begins its final attack, at which point, due to the reduction of altitude, the speed is also increased sharply, reaching a maximum speed of 1,500 meters per second.

The interception of ballistic missiles is a very complicated project, and the difficulty is that the speed of ballistic missiles is too fast! If you want a precise interception, it is almost impossible.

Both Scud missiles flew over their destinations, their warheads rubbing violently against the air, making a sound that made people feel like the end of the world.

The ground crew at the airport looked up and saw the Grim Reaper in the sky.

Then, as if it was raining, the thing in the sky had exploded in advance, and countless tiny bombs flew out. ≦≧

For everyone at the airport, this day is the end of the world.

Because of the accuracy of ballistic missiles, the warheads of ballistic missiles use cluster bombs very often, and they explode over the target area, releasing many small bombs that can cover all areas of the target.

The bombs that fell from the sky bloomed everywhere on the airfield, and the bombs that fell on the runway brought countless craters to the runway, although they were not large, but for the fighters, they were absolutely deadly.

Some bombs fell around the fighters, and although the explosion did not completely destroy the fighters, they brought greater damage: the fragments after the bomb exploded hit some parts of the fighters, and the injuries were not big, they were all small holes, but the harm was great, and it brought greater challenges to the repair of the fighters.

The two Scud missiles have completely rendered this air base incapacitated, and the unexploded bomblets left behind will continue to bring new damage to the Iranians for a period of time to come.

Iraq's angry retaliation has finally begun, and this is just the beginning. ≦≧

On the Iran-Iraq border, Iraq launched a total of 20 Scud missiles against Iran's key military targets within 300 kilometers of the border, mainly military targets and transportation hubs near Bakhtaran in the north.

After the launch of the Scud missile, Iraq's air force began a large-scale air attack on Iran.

From the rear air bases such as Basra, H3, Kirkuk, Mosul, Rashid and Shuaibai, the Iraqi Air Force took off four squadrons of Su-22 attack aircraft, four MiG-21 squadrons, six MiG-23 squadrons, four F20 squadrons, three Mirage F1 squadrons, and one Tu-22 squadron, a total of more than 80 warplanes.

In every war, the Air Force is the first to go out and should sing the leading role! The task of the Air Force is to seize air supremacy, protect the ground forces, and strike at enemy targets!

It was a huge air raid, and when the Iranians attacked Iraq's Southern Military District, the northern fighters did not have time to provide timely support, resulting in the Southern Air Force fighting alone, exhausted by the frenzied attack of Iranian fighters, and almost failed to protect the key areas.

The Iraqi Air Force's sortie was absolutely not up to the level of Israel, and after two days of maintenance by ground crews, all the fighters were finally restored to their best condition.

And now, the air forces of the north and the south have finally joined hands and carried out this attack together.

For this attack, the general staff of Baghdad, after several days of sleepless and several revisions, finally decided on the final plan.

The key targets of the bombing were Tehran, Qom, Kurdistan, Ahmadi and Isfahan.

Tehran is the capital of Iran, Qom is Iran's self-proclaimed holy city, Kurdistan and Ahmadi are the areas where Iraqi forces are about to attack, and Isfahan has an important air base in southern Iran.

Tehran and Qom are the focus, and if Iraq does not counterattack this large-scale military operation of the Iranians and show its strength, the international community does not know how to comment on the combat effectiveness of the Iraqi army!

Destroying Iran's strength, completely striking at Iran's war potential, and their will to war, among them, striking at the enemy's capital, is a very important way.

Later in 1988, Saddam Hussein fired nearly 200 improved Scud missiles at Iran, completely striking Iran's will and bringing them back to the negotiating table.

Qusay personally made the decision in Baghdad, and the first focus of the attack was Tehran and Qom!

Here, the first to attack were two F20 fighter attack squadrons, each carrying two Red Bird No. 2 cruise missiles, launched at a distance of 200 kilometers, destroying the opponent's key radar stations, air bases and other targets, and creating conditions for the subsequent entry of troops.

The other two squadrons of F20 are air superiority mounts, after the cruise missile attack is completed, to deter Iranian fighters, although the first wave of strikes will kill the opponent's airfield and other important targets, but if the opponent still has fighters cruising, then do not hesitate to shoot down the opponent! This air raid is to completely destroy Iran's air force strength!

Then, the Tu-22 bomber squadron and two Su-22 squadrons bombed repeatedly and completely destroyed the two dozen target areas that had been demarcated!

And the MiG-23 modified electronic jammer of the Southern Military District is with this formation, and in case of danger, they can be subject to this soft protection.

And in the Isfahan direction, after the end of the first wave of ballistic missile attacks, two more squadrons of Su-22 attack aircraft and two MiG-23 squadrons, one Mirage F1 squadron, with Mirage F1 providing air cover, and the Su-22 and MiG-23 completely bombed the place.

In the Kurdistan direction, two MiG-23 squadrons and two MiG-21 squadrons were thrown, the air defense here was not very strong, and they were going to bomb the garrison in the capital Sanandaji.

The Ahmadi direction is the main offensive direction in the south, and seizing the heights there is a very important strategic measure for the Southern Iraqi Military Region, where two Mirage F1 squadrons and two MiG-23 squadrons are put into operation to create conditions for future army offensives.

With so many planes attacking at the same time, coordination with each other is a very important aspect, especially the F20 fleet, which took off from Basra to attack Tehran, and could only converge over Hamadan, which put forward strict requirements for the flights of both sides.
