1459 Baghdad in the Bright Night Sky (1)

After the refueling machine disconnected the refueling pipe link from the F117 behind it, it turned around in a large radius and flew back in the direction they were coming.

After the tanker left, dozens of F117s continued to climb to a height of tens of thousands of meters and then formed.

These fighter jets are connected through satellites in the sky and onboard computer information systems. The mission has been transmitted to the information center of each fighter through the satellite network, and the pilot can understand his goals.

"Keep the height and pay attention to the enemy radar signals!" Colonel Emers, the general leader of the formation, calmly reminded the members of the entire formation.

They did not have the pilots of other fighter jets chatting in the communication channel like that. For them, this mission would likely cost some of them some of them.

This person may be a comrade-in-arms or himself.

The old man Saddam managed Baghdad too tightly, and the Soviet Moscow could not be compared with Baghdad's defense.

A total of at least three large ground radar stations have been built.

No one knows how many hidden there are.

According to the intelligence, the Iraqis obtained a large number of air defense missiles, S-300 air defense missiles, from the Soviets. This thing is absolutely unbearable for the United States. They did not obtain accurate technical information and did not know whether the Soviets' air defense missiles could pose a great threat to their fighter jets.

Although the F117 is a stealth strategic bomber, it cannot truly achieve stealth. Their own radars can be discovered, but they only reflect on the radar screen that these fighters do not have a large reflective cross-section as well as ordinary fighters.

"Col. Otherwise, let me go to Baghdad. The air defense firepower density in Fallujah is much smaller." Major Greg Fest was a head of the 416th Squadron.

The fighter jets of the 416 Squadron are more advanced than those of the 415 and have undergone many modifications.

"No, our squadron is carrying out the mission to Baghdad!" Hearing that the people from 416 Squadron wanted to grab their mission, the pilots of 415 Squadron immediately stopped doing it.

"Okay, boys, don't have to argue. The 415th Squadron sent out ten fighters to Fallujah and blew up Fallujah's interception combat center and communication tower. The rest, all went to Baghdad. Let's see how tight this city, which is known as the most tight defense in the world, is, and whether it is really as they boasted that a fly cannot fly in..." Hearing these words, Colonel Emmeth couldn't help but curl up.

They are all experienced fighter pilots, and have performed missions, and know how to adjust the tension in the team members.

After such a fuss, the tension of the pilots in the fighter formation was released.

When they knew they needed to bomb Baghdad, these pilots were very nervous.

I can't sleep at all when I rest at night.

Even, there was a degree of about to take action because of a small matter.

Few American pilots are calm about their uncertain fate, and no one can do it like those brainwashed Soviet and Chinese pilots who are ready to die.

The honor of soldiers is needed, but the lives of soldiers must be guaranteed.

The fighter aircraft equipment is gone and can continue to be manufactured, but if the soldier loses his life, he will have nothing.

On the screen of the fighter planes, green dots representing their friendly forces are constantly appearing.

The entire F117 bomber formation kept radio silent, and the other party did not ask them about it, asking them the right thing. The flight altitude was completely different, and even the direction was slightly different.

Above the straight-line flight route, a large area in the southwest is marked by the information system that cannot be entered.

Therefore, after entering the Iraqi border, the formation flew northeastward. At a height of tens of thousands of meters, these black-painted fighter jets were like a group of ghosts, constantly flying towards the north.

The F117 stealth strategic bomber, each carrying more than 2,000 kilograms of bombs. These bombs are specially equipped with various precision-guided bombs and missiles to turn Iraq into blind and deaf in the first wave of bombing.

After arriving at the Nuhaib area, the fighter jet began to fly along Highway 21 towards Ramadi in the northeast.

The fighter jets will be heading towards the two sides here, and the ten fighter jets will bomb Fallujah's radar station, interception and command center, and communication center.

The remaining 30 will tilt all their bombs to various areas of Baghdad.

In Baghdad, now it is in a strange tranquility.

Originally, the US military broke into the suburbs of Baghdad, but these fighter jets did not go deeper, but flew around Baghdad under the eyes of the Iraqis, and then left in a swagger.

The three radar stations in Baghdad and the hidden radar stations are all operating at full power.

The F117 formation was noticed somewhere in Iraq before it even entered Iraq.

This is the satellite network of the Baghdad underground combat command center.

Baghdad shows a darkness on the satellite image, not only at night, but also because the sky above Baghdad is shrouded in thick smoke from oil barrels lit everywhere on the ground.

US military satellites and reconnaissance aircraft are basically difficult to detect in this area.

"Pay attention to these fighter jets. When they just entered the city, don't rush to open fire. Use our air defense system to intercept the bombs they dropped. At all radar stations, don't detect those enemy aircraft on the periphery..." Hashem commanded according to the original combat plan.

Next to him, the president, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed over, was a little disheartened.

After all, it's already past 3 a.m.

Liu Suxue's face was a little serious.

Although these bombers from the US military can be discovered by satellites, the reality on the radar is not very obvious.

The active phased array radar and passive positioning radar that have been built from China cannot detect these stealth fighters now.

If the satellite had not been taking photos of that area continuously, many intelligence personnel would have been unable to discover it.

Once they enter the Baghdad airspace, the black smoke rising from the Iraqis will make their own satellites unable to see the ground.

"Once they conduct the team, turn on all our passive radars and active phased array radars." Liu Suxue emphasized at this time.

For him, Baghdad's losses were not concerned about.

He is concerned about whether these radar systems can detect American drones.

The Americans had no idea that there was a satellite above Iraq. Even if they found that Soviet satellites were staring at this area, they would think that the Soviets were paying attention to the war.

Saddam did not interfere with their decision.

Now, he needs to wait in this underground base for the departure of the American bomber formation.

Otherwise, he wouldn't want to sleep.

All of this is secret, and the bright underground base forms a completely opposite world from the outside.

The citizens of Baghdad did not sleep well that night, and even did not dare to breathe, for fear that the sound of breathing would be heavier and would attract missile attacks from the Americans.

The black ghostly Nighthawk bomber formation silently divided into two teams over Ramadi, one with only one of them, flew towards Fallujah, and the other huge formation pounced on Baghdad in the thick smoke.

All fighter jets did not communicate and contact in order to minimize their exposure.

All mission goals have been allocated through the information sharing network of fighter jets on the way they come.

Major Greg Fist, as in history, was granted the first right to drop a bomb.

Moreover, this is a huge airport in northern Baghdad. He needs to blow up the command communication tower inside the airport. Then the fighter planes here will not be able to take off.

There are three military airports around Baghdad, which are the fighter jets that take off from these airports, causing them to suffer heavy losses. They will not believe that the Iraqi Air Force can fly out from other places.

Such a huge fighter jet, without a communication command tower, is simply impossible.

When the fighter entered the smoke-filled area above Iraq, the pilot's vision became very poor, but the maps that had been taken by satellites long ago and the positioning and navigation of the internal computer system of the fighter in the satellite system did not affect the slightest.

Otherwise, on nights where the ground is simply not visible, how could these huge fleets of fighter jets fly from Saudi Arabia to Baghdad?

From the moment he was about to enter the Baghdad airspace, Captain Marcel Kerr's face became serious, and the tension in his heart made his breathing become a little rapid.

Because he is the most important part of the entire bombing mission, he needs to blow up a significant target in downtown Baghdad like the space needle tower in Seattle. This is Iraq's communications and command hub. Once the tower is blown up, the entire Iraq's command and communications system will be paralyzed. Even if their radar discovers the target, it will not be able to command the air defense firepower on the ground.

As we get closer and closer to Baghdad, the height of the fighter jets is constantly decreasing.

No one knows when missiles will suddenly be launched on the ground.

The loud roar of the engine can be heard on the ground.

The closer you get to the target area, the more nervous the captain is.
