Babylonian Empire

"Take off the four fighter planes of the 111th Fighter Squadron immediately." The captain finally issued an order: "Order Bluebird to return, and take off an HH-60H "Black Hawk" rescue helicopter to search and rescue our pilot who fell into the water."

On the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier, there are a total of two F-14 fighter squadrons on board. However, unlike the establishment on the ground, one fighter squadron of the aircraft carrier has ten fighter jets.

Hearing that the captain finally ordered the fighter to take off, the deputy captain breathed a sigh of relief, but at this time, his own fighter has been shot down by the opponent. It would be great if he could take off sooner!

He hadn't figured it out at all. The captain let the plane take off now just to protect the face of the US Navy.

At present, the United States absolutely cannot directly go to war with Iraq. This time it was just an accidental injury, and he must exercise restraint.

If the other party was the Soviet Air Force and destroyed one of his fighter planes, he would have ordered all the fighter squadrons on the aircraft carrier to take off. For the Soviets, although both parties must exercise extreme restraint, if the other party fires first, he will absolutely unambiguous.And now, you can't do that.

However, he couldn't lose the dignity of the U.S. Navy, so he postponed his takeoff, hoping that by the time his own fighter jets arrived in the airspace, the opponent might have already flown away.

It's all the fault of the damned pilot, who was asked to monitor, not to engage in air confrontation with the opponent. As a result, even the captain himself couldn't bear the responsibility for such a big accident, so he had to report to the higher authorities, see the arrangement above.

In short, a war of words is indispensable, but is it really a war for this incident?Thinking of the Soviet ships still in the Arabian Sea, the captain still shook his head.

America's opponent is not Iraq.

"Plop!" John fell into the water, making him feel very lucky that the sea water is not very cold because the weather is very warm now, otherwise, the first survival problem he faced was the cold.

As a naval pilot, this kind of survival training at sea is what John must do.

The moment he fell into the water, the parachute had been cut off automatically, and the sea life-saving equipment specially equipped by the navy had also started to work. The self-inflating boat was already waiting in the sea not far from John. him.

After swimming a few times, John struggled to climb onto the small boat, looking at the surrounding water that had been stained by the dye, and the distress equipment was already automatically sending out a signal. All he needed to do now was to wait.

Thinking that I was flying in the sky 1 minute ago, but now I have fallen to the ground, it is all a good thing done by the Iraqis!John was extremely angry, he just locked on the other party, and didn't actually launch the missile, next time, he will definitely not be so polite!

Facing the fighter planes flying in the sky, he raised his middle finger, FUCKYOU!

"One enemy plane was shot down, and the other one has returned. Do you want to pursue it?" Phoebe asked on the radio.

At this time, Hamad's fighter squadron had also rushed to the airspace where the air battle took place.

"You don't need to chase, continue to be vigilant against the air police," Hamad said.

On Hamad's radar screen, he also saw that fighter plane flying away towards the open sea, which proved that the other party was probably really a US Navy fighter plane, but Hamad didn't care that much.The most important thing for him now is to complete the escort mission.

While they were in the air battle with the Tomcats, the ground bombing was already underway. The Iraqi bomber fleet launched a violent bombing against the east coast of Iran and those targets that attacked civilian ships.

Suddenly, several bright spots appeared on Hamad's radar screen.

This time, there are four fighter planes, and the visitors are not friendly, and it is very likely that the U.S. Navy is coming for revenge!

"Attention the formation, there are enemy planes approaching us, prepare medium-range bombs." Hamad said.

At this time, the electronic equipment of the Phantom F1 fighter received the radar signal of AWG-9 again.

War hangs in the balance.

"Fighter Squadron 111, please return with the Bluebird, please return with the Bluebird." Just after the four Tomcat fighters carrying the phoenix took off with vengeance, they and their own plane, which was embarrassed by the missile, took off. After the fighter plane passed by, the pilots of the fighter squadron were full of anger, hoping to avenge their downed fighter plane, but at this time, an order came to let them return.

"Formation return." The squadron leader gave the order.

Four F-14 fighter jets in a diamond formation drew a curve in the air, turned half a circle, and began to return.

Hamad breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the opponent actually flew away. Otherwise, if they fought, their own missiles would not have the range of the opponent's phoenix. If they did not fight, the fighter planes bombing the target in the rear would be in danger. .

Unexpectedly, the other party flew away.

Sultan has always been worried. Hearing that the Iraqi pilot in front of him actually fired a missile, and then shot down a plane, he could only hope in his heart that it was not an American fighter plane. Otherwise, the American There will be sufficient reasons to enter the Persian Gulf.

As for Qu Sai, he always looked confident, which made Sultan feel that this young man really had courage, while he was already old.

Because Qusay has sufficient confidence, the Americans will never do anything to Iraq.

In the history of the Iran-Iraq War in later generations, Saddam did a lot of things to attack the United States. He used the Phantom F1 fighter jet to launch 2 flying fish and hit the USS "Stark" missile frigate. The ship was severely damaged and 37 people died die.Afterwards, Iraq insisted that it was a mistaken attack, and the United States did not go into it.

Then, Iraq used H-601 bombers to launch C[-] air-launched missiles, aiming at the Ticonderoga-class Aegis guided-missile cruiser of the Americans in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, but missed the target.

Of course, Iraq's propaganda is fratricide again.

Although Iraq accidentally injured American warships several times, the Americans did not get to the bottom of it, because Iran is the current enemy of the United States, and Iran has done a series of earth-shattering events that Americans hate. The friendly forces, who told them not to reveal their identities, Iraq just thought it was attacking the Iranian fighter planes.

Of course, in terms of diplomacy, Iraq can keep a low profile. After all, it shot down other people's fighter planes, so they have to give them psychological comfort.

Of course, in order to show friendship, Iraq needs to help rescue the two brothers who fell into the water.

"His Royal Highness, the frigate Aibuha in your country should be in that area, right? The helicopter on Aibuha can help search for the parachuted pilot? We can confirm whether it was the Iranian or the American who shot down. ’” Qusay said.

"Okay, no problem." Prince Sultan said. However, he was almost sure that it was an American fighter plane. If he could search and rescue the opponent's pilot, it would be helpful to solve the problem at that time.

The sea area where John crashed was in the Gulf of Oman outside the Strait of Hormuz. Here, after the thrilling experience last night, the escort formation has not yet returned to the interior of the Persian Gulf, and many ships outside are also waiting to enter the Persian Gulf. Entered the Persian Gulf under the protection of the peninsula defense force.

On the Ai Buha, Major General Talal recalled the experience of last night. The Sea Sidewinder missile showed great power in actual combat and successfully intercepted the missile launched by the Iranians. However, it also showed its shortcomings, unable to fight against multiple At the last moment, it is too dangerous. Without the electronic interference provided by Iraq, the escort mission could not be completed at all.

"Report, an order came from the headquarters, asking us to take off the helicopter and search for the parachuting pilot in the sea fifty kilometers away." At this time, a telegraph soldier came in and reported.

"Okay, order the helicopter to take off immediately," Talal said.

Since it is a large-scale air strike by the Iraqi Air Force, they are also prepared. In case of any accident, they need to search and rescue the parachuting pilot.

However, he did not expect that it was not the Iraqi pilots who were to be searched and rescued, but the Americans.

On the short deck at the rear of the Albuha, a SA365F Dolphin helicopter of the French aerospace company is slowly leaving the flight deck.

SA365F Dolphin helicopter has a fuselage length of 13.74 meters and a height of 4.01 meters. It has four main propellers and a ducted tail rotor. km/h, the service ceiling is 2 meters, and the range is 4.1 kilometers.Equipped with two engines with a power of 296 kilowatts.Mainly used as an anti-ship and anti-submarine type, it is equipped with a sea search radar in the front, with sonobuoys and magnetic detectors. The main weapons are MK4575/865 torpedoes and 2 missiles.In addition, there are searchlights, dúlì's navigation system, automatic hovering device, conversion coupler and rescue winch.

It's perfectly fine to carry out this kind of search and rescue mission once in a while.

At this time, the Black Hawk helicopter taking off from the US aircraft carrier behind was still a hundred kilometers away, and the speed of the helicopter was too slow.

John waited idly, and he had no choice but to wait. He could not leave the sea, as that would cause the search and rescue personnel to lose their target. The farther away he was, the harder it would be to be rescued.

Even if it is only fifty kilometers away from the shore, paddling an inflatable boat like this is an unimaginable task.

However, he didn't wait long before he heard the sound of helicopter propellers stirring the air from above.

Chapter 459 It's a Complete Misunderstanding

John looked up and saw the ducted tail rotor at the tail of the helicopter, indicating that this was not a Black Hawk search and rescue helicopter of the US Navy. Suddenly, he felt a little nervous.

However, if he stays in the sea for an extra minute, he will be in more danger. Although he is very comfortable in the small boat now, if his search and rescue helicopter has not arrived after a few hours, he will have to worry Well, if he is not rescued before dark today, then he will be in big trouble.Watching the helicopter circle over him, then release a crane and a lifeguard, John knew it was time to get out of here.

In particular, he finally saw clearly that the helicopter belonged to the Saudi Navy. The relationship between Saudi Arabia and the United States is very good. He came to rescue him this time without any suspicion.

Sitting on the crane, with the help of rescuers, he was hoisted to the helicopter.
