Chapter 193: Flying Fish Attack (2)

The tail flame of the Phantom F1 became dazzling in the black night sky, and after taking off from the runway, it did not sink into the black night sky.

Night flight, you can't see anything visually, and you can fly completely by relying on the instruments in the cockpit, and the advantages of the advanced electronic equipment of the Mirage F1 are suddenly apparent.

With the Kreuzer Type 63 navigation indicator and the French Air Navigation Equipment 505 autopilot, the flight data is projected on the CSF head-up display, plus the "Ullis" 47 habitual navigation system, after liftoff, almost all the fighter jets are handed over to electronic equipment.

Hamad recalls all the essentials of using the Mirage F1: in order to hide his whereabouts, he needs to use the curve of the earth, approach at an ultra-low altitude, and then jump into the air at 1,000 meters, turn on the radar, scan the sea surface, let the electronic computer calculate the shooting elements, and then let the pending Exocet missile be launched, compared with the advantage of launching an air-to-air missile, as long as the missile is launched, his task is completed, and when he does not need to launch an air-to-air missile, he also needs to use radar to irradiate the opponent.

Comparatively speaking, this task is not difficult at all, although after jumping, it is easy to be detected by the opponent's radar, but in such a short period of time, the opponent has no time to lock on to himself.

Persian Navy, let you taste the power of Exocet missiles! Hamad made up his mind.

At sea, a formation, is sailing in formation in the dark night.

In order to avoid collisions, each ship maintains a certain distance, coupled with a certain speed and course, to be able to sail in the dark.

The captain of the Babur-class destroyer was Afshar, who was already forty years old, and his fate was somewhat similar to that of Hashhmian, but in the end, he returned to his post and fought for Iran.

However, some of the skilled officers and men on his warships had already been purged during the Islamic Revolution, so Afshar was not very confident, especially since the radar fighters were only a few months of experience, not as experienced as the original radar fighters who had been trained in the United States.

So, choosing such a night operation can also minimize the risk of being attacked by the Iraqis.

Because of the advanced standard ship-to-air missiles, Afshar's warships, sailing directly in front of the formation, spread a protective umbrella, ready to attack possible Iraqi Air Force aircraft.

Behind the Babur-class flanks are two Bayando-class frigates, which together defend the six landing ships in the middle, and the landing force of several thousand people is making the final preparations before landing.

The radar antenna behind the Babur-class ship island is spinning in circles, scanning the surrounding airspace.

Looking at the dark night sky, Afshar, who was standing on the ship island, had a lot less vigilance in his eyes, and he knew that in this kind of night, it would be quite difficult to hit his ship formation, and those bombs in the Iraqi Air Force's arsenal were still very bad for his warships.

Iraq attaches great importance to the army, but the air force is not so important, and as for the navy, it is even more negligible.

He didn't know that in the distance, the killing weapon that gave him a fatal blow was about to come.

Hamad piloted the Mirage F1, and after leaving land and entering the sea, he lowered his flight altitude.

If you want not to be discovered by the other party, you have to stick to the sea, and if you want to fly at night at ultra-low altitude on the sea, you must completely trust the instrument and not your own feelings.

For pilots, alone, in this kind of dark night, only a few instruments glowing blue light can be seen in front of them, which can easily cause flight hallucinations.

Therefore, we must firmly believe that the instrument is not broken, the instrument is completely correct, and do not believe in your own feelings, which is also a very important content in night flight, and it is a psychological obstacle that every pilot must overcome.

However, Hamad does not feel this way, he is a skilled pilot in the Air Force, and he is also a veteran of night training many times, and his attention is now focused on the mission.

The Exocet missile mounted under the belly of the plane was the only missile, and if it was missed, the Iraqi Air Force would not have any powerful means to deal with Iranian warships.

In that case, the army on the Faw Peninsula will have to resist the Iranian Navy's attack, and the war on the Faw Peninsula will be a considerable blow to the economy of Iraq, which is Iraq's most important crude oil producer, refinery and crude oil export port.

Hamad doesn't have much confidence in this missile that the French engineer has praised repeatedly, can it really be so evil? Dozens of kilometers away, after launching the missile yourself, you will be done when you go? You know, air-to-air missiles still have to be guided by aircraft, but looking at the importance that His Excellency Qusay attaches to it, he has a sense of identity in his heart.

You must know that since his debut, His Excellency Qusay has almost no defeats, and His Excellency Qusay's vision is very shrewd, and the old men who clean up in the Southern Military Region are full of admiration for His Excellency Qusay.

Hamad looked out of the cabin, and it was pitch black, and he couldn't even see the stars, a kind of precursor to a storm.

According to the navigation system, it should be getting closer and closer to the opposing formation.

Hamad looked at the navigation data displayed on the head-up monitor and decided to make the first pull.

He first turned on the preheating switch of the Exocet missile, turned on the power of the missile, and let the Exocet's seeker start to work at any time.

Then, Hamad turned on the afterburner and jerked the nose of the plane.

Mirage F1, with a light purple flame spewing out from the tail, pointed straight at the dark night sky and began to climb.

At an altitude of a thousand meters, Hamad leveled the nose of the fuselage, and at the same time, turned on the improved "Celano" IV fire control radar and began to scan the surrounding sea surface.

After improvement, this fire control radar has a working range of 130 kilometers to the sea.

Hamad's eyes began to stare nervously at the radar screen on the right side of the cockpit, and if a green bright spot appeared there, it meant that the other party's maritime formation was found.

As expected, after the radar scanned a circle, it found the traces of the opponent's formation, but the distance from his fighter was a hundred kilometers!

Hamad immediately pushed the nose of the plane and again entered the ultra-low altitude.

Although it has a range of 70 kilometers, it should be more appropriate for the Exocet missile to be launched at a distance of 50 kilometers. So, he had to fly flat for another two minutes.

Although at this moment of climbing, turning on, scanning, and then entering a low altitude, Hamad's trail was still discovered by the Babur-class radar.
