Chapter 638: The Destruction of the Dimona Base IV
readx;
The pilots of the F-15 fighters visually spotted those missiles, but that doesn't mean they were able to shoot them down, because the cruise missiles' radar anti-shè area and infrared signature were small, so neither the Sparrow missile nor the Sidewinder missile could lock onto the target. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧
A wingman tested a Sidewinder missile, however, did not hit the target.
Seeing this, the long plane of the F-15 finally made a decision: to use the M61A120-mm "Green" cannon inside the right-wing root fairing!
When the aircraft was just invented, it was the use of machine guns as air combat weapons, with the advancement of technology, after World War II, entered the era of missiles, once the new type of aircraft, there was no aircraft artillery at all, such as the famous second-generation aircraft F-4 in the United States, however, practice has proved that this scheme is flawed, missiles are not omnipotent, for example, in the present, missiles can not intercept the target, then, it is necessary to use aircraft guns to solve the other party.
The M61A1 is a kind of aircraft gun widely used on the third generation fighter of the United States, which is mainly used in air combat at a distance of less than 600 meters to make up for the dead zone of combat missiles. There are 940 rounds of ammunition in reserve, and there are two types of shè speeds: 4000 rounds per minute and 6000 rounds per minute, which can be set by the pilot. ≦≧
The pilot of the F-15 was the first to attack, he flew above the missiles, and then, pushing the rod sharply, bowed his head, and then, the fire flashed in the right wing, and a series of bullets rained down on the missiles below.
The sound of a heavy concrete boring machine reached the pilot's ears, the 20 mm Gatling 6-barreled gun, the barrel of which was spinning and a rain of bullets pouring down, forming a dense fog of bullets that flew towards the missiles in front.
It has not yet entered the sky over the target, the Redbird III missile. Not knowing that it had been attacked, it was still flying forward according to the predetermined course, and as a result, it was firmly hit by a 20-mm cannon shell, this kind of high-power shell, as long as it was hit by one shot, the body of the missile, could not withstand the blow, and a Red Bird No. 3 missile was unfortunately hit in the fuel tank in the rain of bullets. The whole missile, exploded into a fireball.
It worked! Use cannons against these missiles, and sure enough! The pilot was greatly encouraged. However, on the panel in front of the cockpit, it was shown that the ammunition had been exhausted!
This cannon has a high velocity and a fog area, which can increase the chance of hitting the target. ≦≧However, there are also disadvantages, that is, it is too wasteful of ammunition! 6,000 rounds per minute, all the spare ammunition, will be out in less than 10 seconds, just patronizing his own shè shot. It was not noticed that the shè firing process of this kind of aerial cannon was very short-lived.
Other pilots. They all followed the example of long planes, flew over those missiles, and then, like dragonflies dotting water, dived. Then attack.
Although the average annual flight time of the Air Force is almost the longest in the world, however. However, they rarely trained to use aerial guns, and not everyone could hit the target, and after they shot down two more missiles, they lost the opportunity, because those cruise missiles had already flown into the sky over land!
If you want to shoot down these targets on land, it will become very difficult, all kinds of buildings, will be the natural enemy of the aircraft, if you are not careful, you will crash into the buildings, and, even if they are highly skilled, they will not be able to dive and sweep shè like they did on the sea just now, because, below is their land, above are their people, 20 mm shells, if they are poured on the ground, as long as someone is swept away, it will definitely be blown to pieces.
Moreover, because there are too many buildings on the ground, they have lost the trail of those missiles.
However, those missiles must be going to attack Dimona!
The air defense units of the Sè column, having received the news of the attack of the second batch of missiles, immediately made full preparations, knowing that there was very little time left for their attack, and this missile, flying too low! In addition to the Hawk anti-aircraft missiles, which turned their heads and aimed at the sky on the western side, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and portable anti-aircraft missiles were urgently brought in by the sè column, all of which were guarded here. ≦≧
The density of anti-aircraft weapons here, in just half an hour, has increased several times!
Erst is still directing the rescue efforts, especially the dome building, which is the most important reactor in the list, and because it was built to have the ability to resist aerial bombs, the reactor has not collapsed.
The building must be reinforced! Esther instructed the workers to erect a scaffolding to add strength to the reactor, hoping to survive the crisis for a while and recuperate.
"Professor, the enemy attack is coming again, please dodge." A soldier said.
"No, it's dangerous here, and it must be reinforced quickly, otherwise it may not be able to withstand the next blow!" "I have to stay here, that's my job. ≦≧”。
"But I'm on your job, Professor, you must get out of here!" As he spoke, the soldier pulled Erstur up by the big hand, and before he could react, two more men came over and put him on a car outside.
The second batch of Red Bird 3 missiles came from a long distance, and when they came, the first batch of attacks had already ended half an hour, and because they had been discovered on the sea, their attack was intercepted most strongly.
Although no target was found at first, when the Red Bird III began to climb, they were exposed to the radars on the ground, as well as to the furious anti-aircraft units that were waiting for them.
Hawk missiles, portable Stinger missiles, anti-aircraft guns, automatic rifles, all the firepower, are striking into the sky.
However, at this time, the Red Bird 3 missile has entered the serpentine maneuver at the end of the stage, and the design of the Red Bird 3 is largely borrowed from the tactics of C801, and the anti-ship missile will be attacked by the opponent's close-range weapons when it finally attacks the warship, especially in later generations, the emergence of systems such as phalanx, so it is necessary for the missile to make irregular trajectories in the final flight. ≦≧
The Red Bird III's attack also used a serpentine maneuver at the end, they didn't know that there were so many weapons on the ground firing at them, they just knew that they would faithfully carry out their every command until they hit the target, or until they were shot down.
The Stinger anti-aircraft missile encountered the same difficulties as the F-15 fighters, because the infrared signature of the opponent was too weak, so it was impossible to lock on to the target, and even if some locked on the target and fired the missile, there was no result.
And the anti-aircraft artillery with a radar guidance system, taking advantage of the high speed of the shè, achieved part of the results, plus the Hawk missile, which was quickly lifted into the air, carried out a shè strike before the opponent flew out of its own shè strike window.
In the sky, there were only a dozen intercepted cruise missiles, plus only 20 intercepted by fighters, and there were still more than 20 missiles that fell.
Today, it is the son of the destruction of the Dimona nuclear base, and this time the missiles came down and dispersed to all aspects of the nuclear base, and those sub-important factories have also suffered different degrees of blows.
Nuclear reactors and important ...... Another blow was struck, each with five cruise missiles...... The base was completely destroyed, and there was no longer any rescue value, but the solid shell of the nuclear reactor actually withstood the impact again, although, as you can see from the outside, the thick cement layer was shattered and cracked many gaps, and the steel plate inside seemed to have become fragile, especially a few warheads almost passed through the steel plate, and then the flames ignited and burned the steel plate into scrap metal.
"Quick, put out those fires, fortify the top." As soon as he was hit by those missiles, Ersturst walked in again, he saw the situation at the scene, he was very worried, and directed the rescue of these people.
Other nuclear experts from the E.Sè column also rushed here and joined in the rescue.
Sometimes, some inconspicuous little things, some unconscious little things, can cause major historical changes, and this time it is.
Air defense reports have been lifted, no more missile strikes have been detected, the Dimona nuclear base has been unrecognizable, and everyone believes that the attack operation is over.
Even Qusay thought that the operation was over, and a MiG-25 reconnaissance aircraft from the H-3 airbase was about to conduct cross-border reconnaissance to assess the effects of the bombing.
However, in the sky, there was also a Red Bird 3 missile, flying alone, this is the same missile that encountered a failure of the hair hose when it was sent to the shè, it was dragged back, and it was delayed for a while, and as a result, it was delayed for twenty minutes, and it was precisely because it fell behind, and the target of the single Red Bird 3 missile, which was very inconspicuous, was not detected by the sè column.
The base has been mostly destroyed, but the important nuclear reactor has not yet fallen, and almost all the personnel of the Yisè column are busy here, and they need to support the main structure on the outside of the crumbling Yu, otherwise, perhaps, a wind blowing, the building can be blown down and all the internal equipment can be buried.
Even the air defense forces took part in the rescue work, and now the enemy attack is over, which is something that they have almost decided on.
The outdated Redbird III missile flew slowly, and along the way, it was not detected by any enemy, and along the coastline, it entered the territory of the Isè column, and then flew slowly to Dimona.
Along the way, only a few civilians witnessed the flying object, however, none of them paid attention.
It wasn't until the Redbird III entered the final attack process and flew off from an ultra-low altitude that it was discovered by the ground air defense forces in the sè column.
At this time, the high-power guidance radar of the fire control missile had just been turned off for more than ten minutes, and it had to be warmed up before it could work normally.
Almost all of them could see that the missile was swooping down on the nuclear reactor.
The shouts rang out, hoping that those who remained inside the circular building and were responsible for reinforcing the building would quickly evacuate, and there were soldiers, rescuers, and important nuclear experts led by Erster! (To be continued) RQ
