From a layman's point of view, this is very imposing, but these are not favored by observers in Western countries. As long as there are a few brigades of armed helicopters, they can be beaten to nothing.

While these observers were feeling contemptuous, there was a rumbling sound above their heads.

They looked up and saw those huge helicopters, they were Soviet Mi-24 helicopters!

With the increasing number of helicopters imported by Iraq, Qusay has begun to equip the armored divisions with armed helicopters to give the ground troops flying iron wings.

The Mi-24 helicopter has been painted in the image of a desert goshawk. The mouth below is exactly the multiple-barreled cannon. The short wings on both sides are covered with multiple rocket launchers and anti-tank missiles. It flew across the sky quickly and disappeared into the telescopes of the observers on the ground.

On the other side, is the Saudi armored division. They are equipped with pure M60A3 tanks. This tank was ordered by Saudi Arabia from the United States last year. Now, all of them are equipped with their ace armored division. In the future, the main force of the Saudi army will be the same T-72 tanks as Iraq.

"Observing members, welcome to take the helicopter we provide and observe our exercise from the air." Prince Sultan said.

Now that the tank troops are already advancing, they can only watch the situation of the troops through helicopters.

At such times, taking a helicopter is very dangerous.It wasn't an accidental injury during the exercise. The air confrontation is over now, and it is a ground attack. However, the area where they are exercising is at the junction with the Israeli Air Force.

If the two sides really fight at that time, the Israeli planes have no eyesight, and it will not be fun to shoot down the helicopter you are sitting on.

"It's the most intuitive to see from the air. Don't you all want to watch it live?" Prince Sultan said, "I'm leaving immediately."

Hearing that the Saudi Minister of Defense said that His Royal Highness was going to go up, everyone felt that if they didn't go, they would not be brave enough.

Although they have already passed the age of being heroes, but now, with personnel from various countries, they must not lose the majesty of a soldier and the ambition of their own country.

The members of the observation group from the Eastern Powers first said: "We request to watch on the same plane with His Royal Highness the Prince."

Then, the French also made a statement, and the United Kingdom followed suit.

Only the Americans were left, and William felt a little misguided. The identities of those personnel were not as important as him. He was the Deputy Minister of Defense of the United States, but now, he had to follow, otherwise, he would be ridiculed by countries such as Britain and France, especially French.

A group of people boarded the two large helicopters staying outside together.William chose to fly in the same helicopter as Sultan.

The Israeli early warning planes have been monitoring the exercises of the Arab countries. Now, their ground troops have also been dispatched, and their pressure has reached the maximum.

In the west, over the Mediterranean Sea, the Israeli pre-warning planes have already flown more than 100 kilometers away from the coastline, and their F-15 squadron is approaching the two unidentified planes flying in.

"The planes listed above are coming." At this time, the airborne radar on the Tu-22M plane also spotted the other party flying in, the radar operator said.

"Get ready to use our best tricks!" The Soviet pilot uttered a sentence that he had held back for a long time, passengers, sit tight, we are going to drag the car!

The variable-sweep wing of the Tu-22M aircraft began to reduce the angle. At the same time, the flames of the engine at the tail became more intense, and a thrust of more than 200 kN burst out, and the aircraft began to accelerate. Then, the pilot pushed the control lever forward, and the aircraft started Dive down.

The Tu-22M is a bomber with a maximum take-off weight of more than [-] tons. Its operation method is similar to that of a large airliner. The control lever is held with two hands by the vertical handle. Push it forward, and the aircraft will bow its head.

On the narrow glass in front, the surface of the blue sea appeared.

Tu-22M is a key bomber of the Soviet Union. One of its very important capabilities is low-altitude and high-speed penetration!

In the face of the increasingly serious threat of ground air defense firepower, it is a very important performance to quickly skim over the target and drop bombs quickly. Although the missile mounted below the Tu-22M has a range of [-] kilometers, it still has a range of [-] kilometers. , Low-altitude and high-speed penetration can still minimize the probability of the carrier aircraft being discovered.

In the rectangular air inlets on both sides, a large flow of air is sucked into the engine, and the oncoming air is getting denser, but the speed of the Tu-22M is still increasing!

"Attention, the opponent has entered low altitude, turn on the radar, and search for the target." The commander inside the early warning aircraft shouted.

The opponent has already entered the low altitude, and the speed is very fast!They knew that this was the other party flying at low altitude and high surface speed. What did the Soviets want to do?

The pilot of the F-15 quickly turned on the radar, and finally saw the bright spot on the radar screen. At this time, the opponent was only [-] kilometers away from him!

"Attention, prepare to turn." The F-15 lead said.Now, the two sides are flying head-to-head. At such a fast speed, the distance of dozens of kilometers will pass by.

That bright spot is still accelerating and lowering its altitude!

The pilot of the lead plane pressed the control lever, and the plane flew sideways. He saw the figure of the flickering plane outside the glass of the bubble-shaped cockpit.

Tu-22M has already flown under his wing!

"Steer, chase." The pilot of the lead plane slowed down, pressed the slope, pulled the lever and pushed the rudder, and made a quick turn. The huge overload made him unable to move on the seat, and even the muscles on his face were painful.

As a heavy-duty air superiority fighter, the F-15's xìng performance is excellent. With the combined effect of the two vertical tail rudders, coupled with the centripetal force provided by the tilt of the wings, the fighter is turning with almost the smallest radius, and then returns to the previous position. route.

Turn on afterburner and catch up!What the hell are the Soviets trying to do! The pilot of the F-15 was very angry. If it was a plane from any other country, he probably would have used radar to lock on the opponent and fired missiles without hesitation. However, it was a Soviet plane. At the most tense moment, he had to be careful. A direct military conflict with the Soviet Union would definitely not be in line with Israel's interests. It's at a critical juncture.

During the Cold War, the fighter planes of the United States and the Soviet Union had confronted many times. However, under the danger of provoking this level of conflict and breaking out of a world war, both sides will be very restrained.

What's more, the airspace they are in now is still above the high seas.

The F-15 fighter jets returned quickly in a formation of four, and finally caught up with the ultra-low-flying bomber. The pilots of the color row began to admire the Soviets. Flying such a large aircraft, the opponent actually flew 100 meters above sea level. The height, moreover, has now reached Mach 0.9!

I can fly even lower! The F-15 fighter pilot pressed the control lever and flew to an ultra-low altitude of 80 meters. Then, he saw the big guy mounted on the opponent's belly, it was a missile!

Chapter 634 The Dead Sea

Although in the exercise, the air forces of various countries will mount weapons, which may be live ammunition or training ammunition, but under the current situation, no one will treat this kind of thing as an ordinary training ammunition.

"Report, the target has been visually searched and found that the other party has mounted a missile, requesting to attack." The Jewish Air Force has always been very tenacious in style. They take active attack as their creed. In this situation, for The opponent does not attack him, the squadron leader of the F-15 squadron requested in the radio.

"No, the other party is still on the high seas. Shooting it down will cause diplomatic conflicts, so keep a close watch on it." The superior did not agree.

high seas?When they can't fly to the territorial waters of Israel, the opponent has already launched a missile and flew away. At that time, should I shoot down the missile or the plane?The squadron leader thought depressingly.

It is easy to shoot down a plane, but it is useless to shoot down a plane after the opponent launches a missile, but it is difficult to shoot down that missile.

You know, the missile mounted on the Tu-22M is a supersonic missile with a maximum Mach number of 2.5. At that time, he will not be able to shoot down this kind of missile at all. Not to mention supersonic, even subsonic missiles are very large. Difficulty!

The pilots of the F-15 squadron were very depressed, but they had no other way but to accompany the two ultra-low-altitude bombers. The flying skills of the other pilots were quite excellent. , the two planes were flying on the left and right sides of each other.

"We are being followed by eagles," said the pilot of a Tu-22M aircraft.

"They are really annoying guys." Said a weapon operator in the back cabin. He looked up and looked at the plane accompanying him on his left side through the glass on his side. It was an American F-15 fighter jet. , the logo painted on the tail of the aircraft, is the color of the air force.

"Let's scare these Jewish planes." Another weapon operator in the back cabin said, and opened his weapon safety.

Then, he pressed a red button in front of him.

"Tutu, chug." At this time, two red flames appeared from the tail of the Tu-22M. As a bomber, the unique feature of the Tu-22M is the turret at the tail!

The Tu-22M has twin 23mm cannons mounted on the tail. It sweeps the air aimlessly, and a tongue of flame appears behind the low-altitude and fast-flying fuselage, which is spectacular.

The flames were far away from the accompanying F-15 fighter jet, but they still startled the F-15 pilots. They knew that this was the plane expressing its anger.

The F-15 fighters compromised, and they were a little farther away, but they were still closely monitoring.

The radar operators on the E-2 pre-warning plane are closely watching the light spots on the screen. They have now flown to a place more than 200 kilometers away from their own coastline, and they can hardly search for signals on land. In order to deal with the Soviet Union Human attacks, they made the best effort.

What makes them pessimistic is that they can only fight back after waiting for the Soviets to launch missiles. Previously, they have focused on active attacks, but this time they can only passively wait for the opponents to attack. However, everything is only possible.

Time passed by every minute.
