Chapter 223: The ambushed formation

Fighters are very fast.

They have almost reached the sky above the nuclear reactor, but they have already entered the range of the air defense fire network.

Rashid was very calm, and the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun vehicle-mounted radar tracked the aircraft at all times.

"beat!"

As Rashid gave the order.

"Boom boom boom~~"

All twenty self-propelled anti-aircraft guns opened fire, and shells flew out one after another.

"Da da da~~"

Hundreds of anti-aircraft machine guns spit out tongues of fire, and bullets were sprayed into the sky.

A barrage formed directly in the air.

A shell hit the wing mailbox of an F-16 fighter jet and exploded immediately.

A huge fireball shines in the sky, even more brilliant than the sun.

Another F-15 fighter jet was hit by a shell and was smoking.

"Damn it, we were discovered! We were ambushed by the opponent's air defense force!" A pilot roared and immediately wanted to pull up the plane.

But the air defense firepower network was too dense.

The height of the aircraft was only over 1,000 meters and less than 2,000 meters, and it was completely within the range of anti-aircraft machine guns, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and 'avant-garde' anti-aircraft missiles.

An 'Avangard' anti-aircraft missile was launched. It was not affected by the jamming bomb of the F-15 fighter jet and directly hit the F-15 fighter jet. The F-15 fighter jet exploded immediately.

The F15 fighter jet exploded in the air, very dazzling.

"Humph, now that you're here, you still want to leave!" Rashid held the telescope and looked at the sky, sneering in his heart.

The order he gave to the troops was not to worry about the consumption of artillery shells!

One Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun has 640 rounds of artillery shells, and 20 vehicles have 12,800 rounds of artillery shells. The air defense firepower network formed by this must be so powerful.

Not to mention there are a hundred anti-aircraft machine guns and hundreds of 'avant-garde' anti-aircraft missiles, with a total of five hundred anti-aircraft missiles.

"As expected of a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, it is indeed very advanced. Even F-15 fighter jets and F-16 fighter jets can detect it. Those radar positions are really a bunch of losers. They haven't found this enemy aircraft formation until now!" Rashid thought to himself, at this time Another F-16 fighter jet exploded in the air.

"Liu is indeed a man of integrity and will never lie. The anti-jamming ability of this 'avant-garde' air defense missile is indeed strong. The enemy planes released jamming bombs, but it still did not affect the 'avant-garde' air defense missile!" Rashid sighed.

Fire balls kept appearing in the sky.

F-15 fighter jets and F-16 fighter jets were shot down.

Of course, not all pilots died when the plane exploded. Some pilots still chose to parachute.

As for whether the parachuting pilot was killed, I don't know.

"Report to the brigade commander, all targets have been shot down, and no new enemy aircraft have been found within the current search range."

The anti-aircraft machine guns and Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns have stopped firing because all 6 F-15 fighter jets and 8 F-16 fighter jets have been shot down.

"Keep the on-board radar of one self-propelled anti-aircraft gun activated, shut down the other on-board radars, and pay attention to the situation in the air at all times." Rashid gave the order, and then looked at the eight dazzling parachutes in the sky, "Don't let the enemy escape, live to see people." , I want to see the corpse."

These parachuting pilots, if they are unlucky, will be blown to pieces by anti-aircraft machine guns or anti-aircraft artillery, but if they are lucky, they will survive.

But the parachute descends very slowly, and it is impossible to escape here. Even if you survive, you will become a prisoner.

Later, Rashid reported to Saddam through the walkie-talkie.

"Great leader, all enemy planes have been shot down by us, and now we are arresting the enemy pilots who parachuted." Rashid reported simply and clearly.

Saddam was very happy to hear Rashid's report.

All 6 F-15 fighter jets and 8 F-16 fighter jets were shot down. This was a very big result.

All eight parachuting pilots were found. Facing the cold tank guns and heavy machine guns, the five pilots who were still alive did not move and were captured.

As for the remaining three pilots, they are dead.

I did some statistics.

Shot down 6 F-15 fighter jets and 8 F-16 fighter jets. According to the current international market prices, the current price of an F15 fighter jet is US$27.3 million, and the price of an F16 fighter jet is US$12.5 million. In other words, only the fighter jets destroyed, The value is as high as US$262.8 million.

These fighter jets also carry missiles. One missile costs US$400,000, and 60 missiles cost US$24 million.

There are also weapons such as MK84 bombs, which also cost more than 10 million US dollars.

In other words, in terms of fighter jets and weapons alone, not counting the loss of pilots, the enemy lost nearly $300 million in this battle.

The anti-aircraft machine guns fired 50,000 rounds of ammunition, 100 "avant-garde" resistance missiles, and 10,000 anti-aircraft artillery shells, which in total was equivalent to 20 million US dollars.

It can be said that this exchange ratio is very amazing.

"Rashid, congratulations, you have made a great contribution!" Sudani, the commander of the Usilak nuclear reactor defense force, congratulated Rashid enviously.

This time the incoming plane came down and protected the nuclear reactor. Sudani knew that Rashid was definitely the first to do so.

After all, all 14 incoming planes were beaten down by Rashid's armored brigade.

Their defending troops didn't even have a chance to fire.

There is no way, their anti-aircraft artillery troops and anti-aircraft missile troops are not that easy to move.

Sudani knew that Rashid would be promoted for such a great contribution.

The Iraqi Air Force has never been strong. Although Iraq is rich, it cannot buy advanced fighters such as F14, F15, and F16.

Even the Iraqi Air Force is not as good as the Persian Air Force.

So the air supremacy on the battlefield is in the hands of the Persians.

"Sudani, thank you for your congratulations. This is just what I should do!" Rashid smiled.

At this time, his heart was already blossoming. He found that he had been smooth sailing in recent years, and everything seemed to be going smoothly.

The rank was promoted from major to lieutenant colonel, and this year he was ordered to return to the country to form a new armored brigade. The newly formed new armored brigade has not yet formed combat effectiveness, but was ordered to rush to the nuclear reactor urgently, and then successfully ambushed the enemy air force, wiped out all enemy aircraft, and even captured five enemy pilots.

This is definitely a great achievement. Rashid knows that relying on this battle, he can definitely rise to prominence.

"Rashid, these damn pilots dared to attack us, execute them!" Sudani looked at the captives with hatred in his eyes.

Rashid shook his head and said, "Sudani, I also want to execute them, but we can't do this. This matter should be decided by the superiors!"

After hearing what Rashid said, Sudani did not insist on executing the captives, but still stepped forward and slapped each of them in the face to vent his anger.

If it weren't for Saddam's call, Sudani could hardly imagine how bad things would happen.

Because according to the plan, Sudani was going to Baghdad to attend a friend's wedding.

These bastards chose to do it at dusk, when everyone was eating, which was the most relaxed time of the day, and it was easy for them to succeed.

Once the Usirak nuclear reactor was blown up, he, the garrison commander, would definitely go to the military court, and he would not even be able to go to the military court, and would be shot.
