Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, this kind of aircraft is not the Soviet MiG-21, but the Chinese J-7!When the J-7 fighter was produced in China in the Jordan agreement, Reyel had studied this aircraft, so he finally recognized it. Although this fighter is very similar to the MiG-21, it is not the MiG-21 .
"This is China's J-7, but when did the Iranians equip this fighter?" Reyer said.
China's J-7?The commander said: "Reyer, since you are familiar with this kind of aircraft, then, take our photo and report to Baghdad! This is very important information."
Reyer knew what it would mean if Iran was really equipped with the J-7 made in China, so he immediately took a helicopter from the base, returned to Baghdad, and reported to his superiors.
After Abid received the news, he also knew that the matter was serious, so he immediately took Reyel to report to His Excellency Qusay.
At this time, only four hours had passed since the discovery that the Iranians were equipped with J-7 fighter jets.
Qusay sat at the desk, and after listening to the narration of the front-line pilot Reyel, he didn't show a surprised expression, as if he already knew everything about it.
Of course, Qusay knew that during the Iran-Iraq War, the big country in the east sent a large amount of weapons to both sides. The military enterprises of that big country in the east made a lot of money in the first ten years of reform and development. With the end of the Iran-Iraq War, a large number of non-innovative military-industrial enterprises failed to adapt to the market economy and closed down.
Now, it's their crazy production and export process.
However, compared with history, it was a few years earlier. In history, after the Iran-Iraq War began, Iraq bought the 7 J-7 fighters they ordered through Jordan, and participated in the Iran-Iraq War in large numbers. Iran, on the other hand, only purchased a batch of J-[-]N fighters at the end of the Iran-Iraq War and did not participate in actual combat.
Great changes have taken place in history. Qusay did not take a fancy to the J-7, whose performance was not very stable, and chose the American F-20 fighter jet. However, Iran is the first to buy a batch of fighter jets now that there is an extreme shortage of parts. J-7 fighter.
I am afraid that not only the J-7, but also the 69 tanks and 63 tanks made in China, as well as a large number of other weapons, may have all flowed to Iran.
Although there is a relationship in the previous life, and Qu Sai knows the reason, but if this situation continues, Qu Sai cannot tolerate it.
Iran is strong, that is a threat to Iraq!This situation must be stopped!
Although the weapons made in China are cheap, their huge quantity is also a threat, especially for the army.
Thinking of this, Qusay suddenly realized that in the past few months, the Iraqi army has mainly carried out the rebellion against the Kurds in the country, and the Iranians will naturally not be idle, maybe they are already ready!
"Abid, the air force is dispatched immediately to search the situation on the front line in all aspects, maybe we are about to usher in a big battle." Qusay said: "Inform Bakhtaran's army and pay close attention to the movements of the Iranians. "
"Yes." Abed replied.
The north needs attention, and the south needs to remind Izzat to pay attention.
After Abed left, Qusay kept Reyer.
Sky Falcon, Reyel, is the number one ace of the Iraqi Air Force!
Qusay asked, "Reyer, what do you think of the MiG-25 fighter?"
"This is a very good fighter. It has excellent high-altitude and high-speed performance, and the engine thrust is large. Even if you are proficient in close-range combat, you can also perform the fighter well. It's just that the electronic equipment is too backward." Although I don't know why Your Excellency Qusay asked such a question, but Reyel answered honestly.
"So, do you want to fly a better fighter?" Qu Sai asked.
Do you want to change yourself to fly the F-20?Although he is very interested in the F-20, Reyel still likes this heavy air fighter with two engines and two vertical tails.He likes the feeling of overlooking the earth from a height of 5000 meters.
"Flying an F-20?" Reyer asked.
Qusay shook his head: "It's the dream of France, Mirage 4000! I will send you to lead a team to France to conduct modification training for this fighter in advance."
Chapter 4 J-21 VS MiG-[-]
Dassault has finally spread the news that the development of the Mirage 4000 has come to an end, and the initial pre-production model has begun low-speed production, because the Mirage 4000 fighter has not yet received an order from the military, so these fighters can be Said it was made for Iraq.
Since it was produced for Iraq, then Iraq needs to pay a deposit in advance. Qusay agreed to the other party's request, and at the same time put forward a new request. He took the lead in sending a team to Dassault to conduct preliminary training. , When the Mirage 4000 is produced, it will be able to fly.
This kind of request is exactly the same as that of the Northrop Corporation of the United States. Dassault has no reason not to agree. However, the real reason for Dassault is that funds are too tight, and several problems with the Mirage 4000 have not yet been resolved. , Therefore, I want to draw some funds from Iraq first, but anyway, the production cycle of this fighter jet is at least one year. During this period, let the Iraqi pilots train on the ground!
Unlike American companies with deep pockets, Dassault was ambitious to develop a twin-engine heavy-duty air superiority fighter. It also adopted a lot of new technologies, new engines, new avionics, new flight controls, new The aerodynamic layout and all of this will cost a huge amount of money, and Dassault feels a little powerless.
At the beginning, the company wanted to develop it independently, and did not receive a franc investment from the military. Now it seems that it was a mistake.
As for Qusay, he has longed for this fighter for a long time, and now he heard that it can be produced at a low speed. Anyway, let's send someone first!
Although we have the F-20, although we cooperated with China to refit the Super Seven, but Qusay knows that if he wants to truly dominate the future sky, he will have to compete with the F-14, F-15, Su-27 and even the future F-22. Fighters compete for air supremacy, and heavy air supremacy fighters are essential.
Phantom 4000 is a sharp sword in the future sky of Iraq!
Any battle will start from the sky, and if the air supremacy is lost, there is almost no possibility of a comeback.
Qusay knows this, and so do the Iranians.
A small fighter like the J-7, in the hands of the tough Iranian Air Force, quickly performed to its due level. Although it is not as powerful as the F-14, because it is relatively light, the maneuverability of the aircraft is very good. Some performances are even similar to the F-14, coupled with the Sidewinder missiles installed by the Iranian ground crew, this fighter is a treasure for the Iranian Air Force, which currently lacks fighters.
Moreover, while the pilots are familiar with this kind of fighter, the subsequent batches of fighters will arrive one after another. It will not be like the US-made fighters, which will lose one if one is shot down.
After they mastered the performance of this fighter, they began to look forward to fighting the Iraqi Air Force again to wash away their shame. Instead of being shot down in the air, they had no chance to fight in the air at all!
Orders came down quickly.
After the J-7 fighter jets trained at the airport were spotted by Iraqi MiG-25s for high-altitude reconnaissance, Iran suddenly discovered that Iraq’s air reconnaissance of its own side had increased significantly, and the enemy’s army in the northern mountainous area also showed signs of callback. They could no longer Hesitating!
After careful consideration, Khomeini finally ordered that a large-scale counter-offensive operation officially begin!The north and the south go hand in hand to fight back the invading Iraqis!
Although the Iraqi offensive was fierce at the beginning of the war, the Iraqi offensive has weakened so far, especially after the Kurdish turmoil, they dispatched frontline troops back home. In this way, in fact, on the frontline, the Iraqi army's The strength is already weak.
While the ground forces began to attack, the Iranian air force was dispatched again to seize air supremacy over the battlefield.
Two MiG-21 reconnaissance planes were flying at low altitude in Kanjawal, east of Bakhtaran. They were fighter planes from the Northern Military Region of Iraq. They received orders from their superiors to strictly check the outside of the eastern defense line of Bakhtaran and pay attention to whether there were any Iranian troops assembled. signs to prevent a sudden attack by the Iranians.
The two MiG-21s flew very slowly, and they kept passing by the mountains. The terrain here is complicated, and there may be people hiding in many places.
Although it is a reconnaissance type and carries a reconnaissance pod, the two MiG-21s still carry two R-60 infrared short-range air-to-air missiles for self-defense.
Pilot Hidali glanced at another MiG-21 aircraft in the side direction, and seemed to see the head of the pilot Hosni wearing a white flight helmet turning, as if he didn't believe the aircraft's detection equipment, but liked himself more eyes.
The ground is full of undulating mountains. They are used to seeing the desert in the west. This kind of terrain makes them the most uncomfortable. Who knows where Iranian planes will appear!
Suddenly, under the sunlight, Hidali found two bright spots flashing in the valley in the distance.
"Attention, nine o'clock direction." Hidali shouted on the radio.
Two J-[-]s set off from the Tehran Air Force Base and entered the mountains at low altitude. Their mission was to ambush the two fighter planes of the Iraqi Air Force that were swaggeringly investigating.
History is such a coincidence, J-21 and MiG-[-], this pair of fighters with a long history, will meet on a narrow road here.
The MiG 21 is a reconnaissance type, but the J-[-] is here to take the initiative to challenge. The four Sidewinder missiles under the wings are their sharp weapons!
Fortunately, the Iraqi pilots were lucky enough to spot them under the reflection of the sun.
It's just that the distance at this time is already very close.
While asking for support from the base in the rear, Hidali went up to meet him. The distance was too close. If he turned around and ran away like this, he would just give the opponent the hot exhaust nozzle to explode his ass.
There are no fighter jets of our own nearby, so it must be an Iranian plane!
