Chapter 675 Tel Aviv International Airport

Even if the F-15 tried its best, it could only fly to an altitude of 20,000 meters at most. However, those javelins thrown in the sky were at an altitude of more than 30,000 meters. Therefore, if you want to make the Sparrow missiles fly up, you have to pay a higher price. In order to guard against the sneak attack of the MiG-25, the two escorting F-15 fighters were equipped with improved Sparrow missiles. In terms of power, this type of missile has an additional booster, which allows the Sparrow missile to fly higher!

However, there are not many of these missiles, and each fighter plane only carries two. Now, after discovering that the Syrians have fired missiles, they immediately launched a counterattack. They can't reach the MiG-25, but they have met the launch conditions for attacking these flying missiles!

The booster of the Sparrow missile burned rapidly, pushing the missile to climb. At the same time, the F-15 fighter below reduced its speed, otherwise the radar antenna would exceed the elevation angle and lose guidance.

The Sparrow missile climbed to an altitude of 30,000 meters, and almost in the leap phase, it just aimed at the trajectory of the opposing R-33, and the two sides came into close contact.

"Boom!" With the explosion of the Sparrow missile's seeker, the shattering rod warhead filled the surrounding airspace. An R-33 missile that had just been flying steadily was hit and fell down!

Success!

After intercepting the R-33 missiles fired from Syria, the Israeli pilots were not too happy because they were short of numbers. The other side fired eight missiles, but they only intercepted two! The Sparrow missiles did not have the ability to attack multiple targets and could only intercept one target at a time. When they wanted to intercept the second target, it had already flown far away!

Six R-33 missiles continued to fly towards the E-2 early warning aircraft, and the people inside the early warning aircraft looked pale.

"Lower altitude and turn off the radar." Commander David said. Now, everything is left to fate.

The E-2 early warning aircraft is just a small plane with twin propeller engines. It cannot compete with the jet aircraft in terms of speed and maneuverability. The two F-15s that flew over it cannot fully intercept it, so the team can only resort to this last resort.

If the radar is turned off, the anti-radiation missiles fired at us will lose their guidance. However, if the radar is turned off, our side will also become blind.

Commander David had a vague feeling that what was fired this time was definitely not just an anti-radiation missile, because after firing the missile, the Syrian fighter plane did not return but continued to fly!

Of course, they may be flying towards their own side because they want to return home, and this route is the shortest.

Although it seemed to take a long time, discovering the target, ordering our own aircraft to intercept, and then shutting down the radar were basically completed within a minute. At the same time, the E-2 early warning aircraft began a large-angle dive. Inside the cabin, David held tightly to the armrest beside him, and his body tilted along.

Dive down, into the mountains! In order to escape, they dived almost vertically!

The Jews are the most learning people! The Israeli Air Force has been studying the confrontational tactics of the US Air Force and the Soviet Air Force. In particular, as a strategic early warning force in the air, the early warning aircraft needs to be carefully studied by the Israeli Air Force. How to deal with the attack of the MiG-25? The best way is to dive into the mountains!

Just after discovering the MiG-25, they had already flown from over the Mediterranean Sea towards Lebanon. Now, while diving and continuing to move eastward, they could easily get into the mountains of Lebanon!

No matter how the technology of pulse Doppler radar filtering out clutter develops, the complex ground echo will always cause great trouble to the radar!

Maybe he was too anxious, or maybe David forgot. In any case, when the E-2 early warning aircraft dived rapidly towards Lebanon, in the Bekaa Valley, a four-axle radar vehicle with a flat-panel three-coordinate phased array radar firmly captured the target. Then, another 9M82 missile flew out!

Propeller planes cannot fly too fast because the front end of the propeller will reach the speed of sound ahead of time. At this time, the efficiency of the propeller will drop sharply and it will be accompanied by violent vibrations, causing the plane to crash.

Now, in order to escape, the pilot of the E-2 no longer cared about so much. The gravitational potential energy was transformed into kinetic energy during the dive, and the body of the E-2 early warning aircraft began to vibrate violently.

"Boom!" Just as it descended to a height of one thousand meters, a violent roar was heard, and the entire E-2 early warning aircraft was shattered into pieces! The personnel on the early warning aircraft also disappeared into the sky with this roar.

The Israeli Air Force commander also shed blood in the sky with this roar. However, what exactly hit them has become a mystery. Was it the R-33 missile launched by the MiG-25, or the S-300 missile? Or did it disintegrate because of the dive?

If the early warning aircraft is destroyed, the Israeli Air Force will lose the ability to control the surrounding airspace! Now, there are no new fighter planes over the Bekaa Valley, but the battle is not over yet!

Tel Aviv, Ben Gurion International Airport.

This is Israel's largest airport and also a dual-use military and civilian airport. For various reasons, Israel has not deployed fighter units here, but the E-2 early warning aircraft unit is deployed here.

Now, an E-2 early warning aircraft is taking off slowly from the end of the runway, its propeller spinning rapidly. Although they accepted the mission hastily, they were not in any panic, everything was in order, showing that they are the most elite air force.

Our AWACS was shot down, and up to now, the Syrian Air Force has not shown any signs of deployment, so our side is still in great danger! We must immediately launch a new AWACS to take over the command!

After the Air Force Commander was killed, Sharon immediately ordered General Avery to take over the position of Air Force Commander and continue to command the Air Force operations!

The first thing General Avery did after taking over was to order the early warning aircraft to take off.

At the same time, on one side of the airport, civil aviation was still proceeding normally. A Boeing 707 passenger plane was preparing to land at one end of the runway.

This is a German civilian airliner. The German pilot is making careful preparations for landing. Takeoff and landing are the most dangerous stages. The pilot looked up and glanced at the surrounding airspace with his peripheral vision. He found that there seemed to be several planes not far from the airport, flying at ultra-low altitudes. Those planes have air intakes on both sides and variable swept wings. Don’t they look like Israeli Air Force planes?
