Chapter 1336: Red flag

Remember in a second [Book Fanlou Novel Network], wonderful novels without pop-ups to read for free!
Above the sky, eight 'Super Toucan' fighters are flying from Mexico to Cuba in broad daylight. Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu stared at the navigation information displayed on board the avionics in silence. Although satellite navigation was missing, inertial navigation was still powerful.
Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu once served in the US military and has more than ten years of experience in driving F-16 fighters. Now in his fifties, he retired for many years before the cataclysm. He opened an aviation club in his hometown and is still a master of air combat.
After Enclave decided to interfere with the expansion of the Aurora Corps, Colonel Isho, who joined the army again, joined the military system of the Diego government in Mexico as an Air Force consultant. He is responsible for rebuilding and training pilots in Mexico.
The Air Force is a very costly service. Modern fighters will consume several tons of fuel the next day. All the military forces in the world have disappeared. The Mexican army was already weak. Civil aviation has fewer talents. After the catastrophe, no qualified pilots can be found at all.
In order to consume as little resources as possible, the air forces of all forces now only fly propeller fighters. Because in terms of fuel consumption and ground handling, propeller aircraft are much simpler than jet aircraft. To this end, Enclave even gave away a number of propeller 'super toucans' to President Diego.
The previous night air strike in Havana was a masterpiece of Lieutenant Colonel Ixiu. It was later proved that the air attack successfully destroyed most of the Havana refinery's production capacity. This result encouraged him to continue to conduct more air attacks on Havana.
However, under many air strikes, Col. Yixiu's fleet also suffered huge losses. Twelve 'Super Toucan's lost five in the first night strike. Such a high battle loss rate almost completely cancelled the entire air strike plan, and it also caused a lot of damage to the Mexican pilots who had finally been trained.
In order for the air strikes to continue, Colonel Isho had to completely replace the Mexican rookie with Enclave's flying veterans. Only by improving the level of technology and tactics did it contain the high rate of war damage.
And with the increase in the number of battles, Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu also found some ways-a large number of pilots on the side of the Aurora Corps are actually novices, but can not help but one of those fighter pilots is particularly hot. Almost all the losses on the side of Yi Xiu were caused by it.
Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu decisively canceled the night attack with limited field of vision, because for the "super toucan" whose radar is not powerful enough, visual battles sometimes can give play to their number and skill advantages.
This was also verified in subsequent multiple battles-the awful pilots of the Aurora Corps were also limited by the performance of the fighter, and could not play the tricky tactical advantage in a one-to-many battle during the day, and it was always difficult to make a difference .
In recent days, Lieutenant Colonel Isho has led a team to visit Havana every day. His goal today is clear, "We must blow up Havana's airport, which should be the Aurora Air Defense Command Center. Destroying there should be very helpful for our future operations."
Judging from the results of previous operations, Colonel Isho was very confident in this operation. The Aurora Corps has a large number of pilots and many aircraft. But their airspace is full of loopholes, the air force is weak, and the most equipped is an old-fashioned biplane transport aircraft.
"The Aurora Corps should have no effective airborne early warning force. We were intercepted five minutes before reaching Havana. Their air defense network is estimated to cover the entire city.
The enemy has too few pilots to stop us. There should be only one group of instructors, and the other levels are very poor. We need not worry at all. Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu repeatedly instilled his own combat methods into the members of his fleet before the mission began.
In a few words, staring at the perverted opponent, everything else is easy to handle.
Just fly like that, the Iraqi repair team flew from Cancun Airport to Havana, to Batananova Bay and just entered land. It stands to reason that at this time, the air defense net of the Aurora Army was about to be alarmed, and in a few minutes ...
Don't wait a few minutes.
Suddenly, a blaze of flames flew across the sky, rushing at three times the speed of sound, and reached Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu in the blink of an eye. The lieutenant colonel hadn't figured out what happened, and his fleet suddenly burst into countless fragments, as if a dark cloud exploded, like a thunderous day.
With a loud bang, Col. Yixiu's wingman was blown up, the body collapsed in a volley, and fell sharply down. The two pilots in the fighter did not have the slightest chance of escape, and they were finished without humming.
This sudden death frightened half of the experienced Colonel Isho. He quickly lowered the flight height of the fighter and recalled the scene just before shouting on the radio: "There are air defense missiles, avoid it."
The entire fleet suddenly became like a swarm of bees. ‘Super Toucan’ was designed to deal with low-intensity combat. The enemies it usually faces are drug dealers, guerrillas, and anti-government forces, but it does not include regular forces with professional air defense missiles.
"Super Toucan" is relatively easy to evade individual air defense missiles with a narrow attack window by speed. However, the missile that appeared just after it struck was thick and big. It is a radar-guided medium-range air defense missile. The propeller fighter can handle it.
"Damn it!" Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu regretted that he did not bring an electronic warfare pod for Mao, at least it could interfere with the opponent's radar-well, not that he didn't want to bring it. But the propeller fighter has insufficient power generation capability ~ EbookFREE.me ~ can not bring the power-consuming electronic warfare pod.
What to do now? Escape!
The anxious Colonel Isho could only let the fleet make a U-turn. He really couldn't figure out where the Aurora Army's anti-aircraft missiles came from-this must have anti-aircraft missiles. You should have taken them out! The oil refinery was blown up before it was laid out, which in turn was equivalent to pitting Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu.
Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu did not know that in order to prepare for his fleet, Zhou Qingfeng spent a lot of money to improve the ‘Red Flag-2’ air defense missile that he got.
In order to solve the defect that 'Red Flag-2' cannot attack low-altitude targets, Rabbit's military purposely upgraded the centimeter-wave radar of the missile battalion guidance station and hung it on a large Chad integrated drone in the form of a pod, and then used the data Chain for radio instruction guidance.
In the face of a drone flying at an altitude of eight kilometers, the Iraqi repair team flying over the sea was discovered two hundred kilometers away. The person on the ground drone remote control station waited for the adversary to throw himself into the net, saw the enemy aircraft enter the 35-kilometer air defense ring of 'Red Flag-2', and immediately launched the missile.
One round of merit is followed by another.
Liu Meng's missile brigade battalion is not very well equipped, and can only control one missile at a time to fly in the sky. However, hitting missiles into the sky like this one after another is enough to crash the fighter pilots of the Iraqi repair team.
However, they could n’t escape. Seeing the rumbling missiles appeared in the sky again, the pilot who consciously could n’t escape simply parachuted—this large air defense missile has a maximum overload of more than ten or twenty G, and the pilot ca n’t fly hard Its killing range!
When shot down fighters and fluttering umbrella flowers kept appearing, Colonel Isho, who was still fleeing, escaped desperately. He was puzzled, "Why did the Aurora Corps have a medium-range air defense missile?"
