Red Soviet Union

The two sides encountered each other suddenly. After taking down Gaivash, this tank unit originally planned to attack Tatwan. Unexpectedly, the two sides would encounter each other on this rugged mountain road!

In fact, if the Turkish army were more determined, they would have discovered that the Kurds they were dealing with were just a group of novices. Their operations were quite unskilled, and they could not fully utilize the combat effectiveness of the tanks.

For example, they only need to set up roadblocks, or even more simply, set a few cars side by side on fire, and they can stop the Kurds from advancing! Although they used tanks as bumper cars, they would never dare to hit a burning car. As long as the road here is blocked and the mountain road is rugged, the Kurds will never find a second road to go!

As long as the Kurds are blocked here and the follow-up reinforcements arrive, the Kurds can be completely wiped out!

Unfortunately, they were terrified. After being knocked off the cliff by a Kurdish tank, the Turks behind lost the courage to resist. Cleaned up!

The Kurds didn't all push the cars off the cliff. Since all the Turks in the cars have fled, these cars are their property! The tank troops are just forwards, and there are infantry behind them! The Kurds are very poor. The infantry relies on two legs. It would be nice to have a motorcycle. Now that they have obtained these cars for nothing, of course they have to use them!

The rear team turned into the front team. The Kurdish infantry passed through their tank troops and climbed into the car. The mountain road was too narrow to let the tank troops pass first, so the infantry in the car walked ahead. .

All the way, the army is mighty and mighty, marching towards Tatwan along the mountain road!

An infantry brigade routed by the Kurds! The casualties were heavy! The Kurds have tanks! This amazing news quickly spread to Ankara in the rear.

The Kurds must not be allowed to occupy Tatwan! Compared with Van City, Tatwan has a larger population! If the Kurds are in turmoil there, it is likely to make the situation even more corrupt and out of control! More Kurds will respond!

Evron was still in a meeting with the heads of state at the NATO headquarters to coordinate, and the chief of staff of the armed forces in Ankara knew that the matter was of great importance, so he immediately mobilized more troops to Tatwan!

At the same time, the air force was also dispatched quickly, and a bombing formation composed of four F-4 fighter jets quickly flew in the direction of Lake Fan.

The army is a bunch of idiots who can't even beat a group of mountain Turks! Turan, the lead pilot flying at high altitude, couldn't help but be full of contempt.

Now,

Under the orders of the superiors, the air force had to support the troops to fight. Originally, the confrontation with the Soviets on the border was very tense. The air force was on guard all day long when the Soviets and the Iranians would suddenly launch a large-scale attack. Therefore, each fighter plane is mounted in the air, and the Sparrow missiles and Sidewinder missiles are ready to strike the enemy at any time.

And now? They were originally eagles in the sky, but they had to do the work of attacking the ground! AGM-65 Maverick air-to-surface missiles are mounted on the pylons of each fighter plane, and only the wingtips have two sidewinders for self-defense. They need to find the Kurdish tank troops and launch an attack!

This is a difficult task, because the terrain here is quite complicated, with mountains and mountains below, and the speed of the jet fighter is very fast. In this case, it is not easy to detect it visually once it flies by.

At the same time, the AN/APQ-120 fire control radar is an early type of radar, which has no synthetic aperture mode or pulse Doppler mode at all, and cannot filter ground clutter. Therefore, this kind of attack mission cannot be used at all. Get on this radar.

Fortunately, although the carrier aircraft is lagging behind, the Maverick air-to-ground missiles it carries are not lagging behind. It is a good hand at hitting armored targets!

During this cold war period, the tank troops of the Soviets would roll forward at any time, submerging the West in a sea of ​​steel, and the choice of the West was to use quality to overcome the advantage of quantity and use fighters to launch a ground attack missile , is very necessary. The Maverick missile was developed under such circumstances. As a small tactical missile, six missiles can be mounted on an F-4 fighter plane to attack six ground targets, while the tank is one of the important goals.

Turkey is the front line of NATO against the Soviet Union. All kinds of advanced weapons will be equipped with Turkey first, and this Maverick missile is also the same!

There is no need to use backward radar. Maverick missiles can be TV-guided, infrared imaging-guided and semi-active laser-guided. Now, Turan's fighters are equipped with TV-guided Maverick missiles.

The airborne AN/ASX-1 optical/electrical target recognition system has started to work, and the scanned image is displayed on the IP-1094/APQ-120E display in front of the radar operator in the rear seat of the F-4 fighter jet, and synchronized to the front IP-1093/APQ-120E monitor.

In order to observe the target more clearly, the F-4 fleet flew towards the target at high altitude. When they saw the wide Van Lake, they lowered their altitude and speed, so that they could better find the target.

The weather was fine, and the picture of the TV lens was quite clear. The radar operator in the rear cabin constantly adjusted his C-8909/APQ-120E display control device to make the target clearer.

There was a mountain peak in front, and then a valley, and just as it passed by, the shadow of a convoy appeared below!

Target found! shouted the radar operator in the back cabin, it's in the valley we just flew over.

Find the target, go around, and prepare to attack! Turan shouted on the radio, ordering his formation to prepare to enter the attack.

After making two turns and flying over the valley on one side, a huge convoy appeared on the monitor. The radar operator in the back cabin carefully adjusted the control device. Finally, the convoy below could see clearly. It's a tank!

Target, a Soviet-made tank, attack immediately. The radar operator in the rear cabin said while using the aiming device to switch to a continuous tracking state. In four seconds, the target was intercepted. The target is in the center of the aiming reticle, and a Maverick missile is quickly selected, the gyro is unlocked, and the hood is thrown away. The camera of the Maverick missile transmits images to the monitor in the cockpit of the aircraft, and the AN/ASX-1 optical/electrical target The targets indicated by the identification system coincided, and then, with the sound of fire, the flames flickered under the wings.
