Become a super arms dealer with the workshop system

Chapter 72 Pharah's Eagle (47)

In the cabin of the plane, the atmosphere on the return flight was obviously much more relaxed. The investigation report had been successfully submitted, and the whole world would only see an army of dozens of people fighting bravely against the militants of the Black Flag faction that was several times larger than itself. After suffering heavy casualties, the local residents of CAF were protected, and the face of the Pact Organization was preserved.

Major de Jong successfully found the "truth" of the whole matter, and has prepared the content of the report to Pascal. The Belgian army can continue to stay in CAF to exert influence, but it needs the help of some "locals".

Ochakov found a way out for two former comrades-in-arms. It seems that the matching environment in the Afrika region is not bad. They should be able to adapt quickly after they are used to the intensity of the competition in the Eastern European region.

Although the injured Duat lost half of the man's most important things, not only did he not receive criticism, but his status was preserved, and he may even continue to be in charge of the CAF garrison after his injury.

In short, everyone has already begun to imagine the celebration banquet, vacation and the beach in Belgium after returning home.

Just like when I came here a few days ago, the plane needs to be refueled and prepared in Pharaoh country before it can take off again.

Everything seems so normal, but the weather is a little bad.

However, shortly after taking off from Pharaoh's country again, a sharp-eyed officer saw something looming in the clouds under the wing.

He patted his sleepy companion: "Look below, what's that?"

This sound quickly attracted the attention of almost all passengers, until an officer from the Air Force recognized that it was an ACMI air combat training pod that looked a bit like a missile.

On the wing of course.

"I think... an F16 fighter jet is flying close to our plane." The officer said in a very uncertain tone.

One sentence immediately caused an uproar in the cabin.

You must know that this is at an altitude of about [-] meters, and any collision between the two planes may lead to the end of the plane crash.

Not to mention that on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, the land of the Fourth World War, there are countless radars of surface-to-air missile systems staring at the sky. If they are regarded as hostile targets, the consequences will be disastrous.

Captain Mohammad Abdul Hassan is a pilot of the Pharaoh Air Force. At this moment, he is driving an F16, carefully sticking it under a regional airliner not much bigger than himself, flying towards the northwest.

In the job of fighter pilot, Hassan is definitely a genius. When he was very young, he often dreamed of various scenes of flying a plane by himself. At that time, he had not even seen a real plane. .

Although the endings of those dreams are often not happy, almost always ending with him being shot down in battle, or flying a plane into the enemy, but this does not affect the captain's choice to go to flight school and become an Air Force pilot.

Six years ago, he graduated from aviation school with honors, and then he entered the best fighter unit of the Air Force at that time, becoming an F16 pilot.

In the first few years, relying on his talent and hard work, Hassan repeatedly achieved good results in the internal exercises organized by the Air Force, and soon grew into the leader of the flight formation.

Recently, however, things have gradually changed.

A few months ago, the Pharaoh Air Force purchased a batch of MiG 29M fighter jets from Lucia. Although its predecessors had a bad reputation in the past few years, the new model was almost completely reborn except for the name, which made Hassan Can't wait to take on new opponents.

However, the results of the subsequent confrontation exercises made the captain unable to be optimistic.

Since Pharaoh is only a third-class ally of America, and is only on par with Rajk in terms of status, it has been treated differently in terms of arms purchases. Almost all American-made equipment in the army has been deliberately reduced, which is the so-called "Monkey version".

比如哈桑上尉的F16战斗机就在软件上被动了手脚，无法发射主动雷达制导的AIM120中距弹, 只能使用30多年前的AIM7M麻雀半主动空空弹, 甚至更古老的AIM7F型号。

Although Lucia also kept a hand, the R29 provided to the MiG 77M was also an old model 20 years ago, but no matter what, it was enough to suppress the AIM7 on the captain's side.

Active radar-guided air-to-air missiles can track targets autonomously at the end without the guidance of the aircraft, while semi-active missiles require the radar of the aircraft to track the target throughout the entire process. Lock Luanfei lost the threat.

This is a fatal problem in the process of firing medium-range projectiles, not to mention that AIM7 is still at a disadvantage in terms of range, and the situation becomes even worse.

No matter how superb Hassan's technique is, it cannot violate the laws of physics. In the previous few attempts, he was able to take the lead in locking on the opponent with a slight advantage in radar performance. However, the gap between the missiles made him choose to evade earlier. .

Even if he was lucky enough to escape the out-of-sight attack of the medium-range bullet, he had already fallen into a disadvantage in terms of energy and position after a lot of tossing, and he was still unable to recover after entering the line-of-sight battle.

Moreover, the F16 of Pharaoh is also restricted in the use of fighting ammunition. It can only launch the AIM7L air-to-air ammunition that is as old as AIM9F. Facing the R73 is a disadvantageous match.

In just a few months, the captain made an embarrassing record of 0:4.

Such continuous setbacks made Hassan hate America, who provided him with monkey equipment from the other side of the ocean, but in any case, he is not the kind of person who would choose to sit and wait for death in the face of equipment disadvantages. Do some new tricks with the plane.

Before taking off, Hassan deliberately spent two days studying the discipline of the troops, and finally determined that there was no rule that explicitly prohibited him from using civilian airliners to hide himself during the exercise.

And the top captain when he was studying in the aviation school knew that the Air Force of the Kingdom of David in the north often used this trick to make the enemy's air defense forces afraid to fire, and even often entered the airspace of the Pharaohs in the Sinai Peninsula.

It was also the first time for Hassan to try such an adventurous flight. He looked nervously through the bubble-shaped canopy at the small airliner that was almost attached to his scalp. lead to irreversible consequences.

F16 is the first fighter jet in the world to use the side stick design, but this also means that its design is not perfect compared with other younger generations. Specifically, the stroke of the joystick is very short, and any weak movement will bring about the aircraft attitude. Huge change.

"Oasis leader, report the situation, we have lost your position on the radar." The squadron leader's slightly anxious voice came from Captain Hassan's headset.

But this instead excited the captain sitting in the plane-if the powerful ground radar in the base can't distinguish its own signal, then it's even more impossible to rely on the gadgets on the fighter jet.

"I'm trying to figure out a way to get behind them and sneak up on them." Hassan replied casually.

After receiving the response, there was no other sound from the radio. According to the rules of the exercise, in order to prevent a commander who can't control himself from helping his subordinates cheat, the base should not communicate with the pilots.

According to common sense, the squadron leader speculated that Hassan was flying at a low altitude to avoid the opponent's search. Although he would lose his energy advantage, if he was lucky enough, he could indeed occupy a good position.

The squadron leader, who has been cautious all his life, would never have thought that his favorite subordinate was hiding under the belly of a Pact military airliner, and was about to enter the airspace of the Kingdom of David at this moment.

"Oasis 02, report the enemy's position."

In order to improve concealment, Hassan did not turn on the radar of his own aircraft. As a natural enemy, the signal characteristics of the AN/APG-66 radar can be easily distinguished by the MiG-29M's radar warning receiver (RWR).

Also due to the simple configuration, there is no data link between the captain and his wingmen that can share information in real time, and they can only communicate by traditional radio communication.

A few seconds later, the wingman pilot's slightly nervous voice sounded: "The pair of MiG-29s on the other side are in my 20 direction, which is probably located on... the coastline. I am about to enter the range of the R77. Please avoid it."

"You can turn around, but don't run too fast, lure those two planes to follow you, and I will be able to cut behind them in no time." Captain Hassan looked down at the multi-function display in the cockpit. The navigation information on it showed that he was now over the Mediterranean Sea.

The captain was a little thankful that the insane American people didn't configure the GPS navigation capability, otherwise he would have to buy an extra navigation terminal out of his own pocket like those colleagues flying the old Mirage V. For fighter pilots, To say it is unimaginable.

The captain retracted the throttle slightly with his left hand, and the F16 slowed down accordingly, gradually opened the distance between it and the small airliner, then quickly rolled to the left and broke away from contact.

"It's crazy..."

Everyone in the ERJ135 cabin looked at the F16 flying farther and farther from the left, and their hearts hanging in the air were finally relieved.

"You must report this matter when you go back, and you must file a diplomatic protest. The Pharaoh Air Force is simply...lawless." The officer who first noticed the abnormality returned to his seat, loosened the tie around his neck, and said Complained in fear.

Captain Hassan, who had turned the plane's nose and flew south, didn't know how much trouble he had just caused. He probably knew that the other two planes were between him and his wingman, but because the radar was still not turned on, he didn't The specific location of the target cannot be found.

A fighter with radar turned on is like a person with a flashlight at night, and will be spotted by the opponent while searching for the target, so the captain is going to let his wingman play the role of holding the flashlight.
