Chapter 294: Total Annihilation of the Air Force! A Simple Shooting Game!

"What!"

Barnhill, an Israeli Air Force pilot flying an F-16I "Sufa" (Storm), saw the fireworks in the sky.

His face showed an expression of disbelief.

An Israeli Air Force fighter jet had actually been shot down in midair.

"Who did this!"

Barnhill simply could not believe Hamas had this kind of capability,

and what had just happened was not a surface-to-air missile either.

Although the model couldn't be made out in the dark night, it was definitely an air-to-air missile with very high speed.

"Enemy fighter... enemy fighter!"

Barnhill shouted loudly into the communications system.

However, the next moment another missile came,

turning an F-15I "Thunder" fighter jet into fireworks in the sky.

Watching the orange fire bloom in midair, Barnhill's pupils contracted sharply.

He never imagined that in such a short time, two jets from their formation had already been taken down.

However, the Israeli Air Force quickly began changing formation in the air.

They formed a simplified Eagle Wall squadron.

The so-called Eagle Wall was a tactic of massing large numbers of fighters in a given airspace to completely suppress the enemy through continuous air combat.

Usually, when fighting in a given airspace, twenty F-15s formed one combat formation,

divided into five combat groups, each group further split into two two-ship elements,

this tactic originated from Ugly Country during the Gulf War era, with an AWACS aircraft stationed in the rear, using an ultra-high-power search radar to detect enemy aircraft from hundreds of kilometers away.

In the rear, the "Phalcon" AWACS aircraft increased its detection power and range.

Yet the radar system of the once-invincible "Phalcon" AWACS showed no response at all.

"What's going on? Why can't the radar system detect...!"

Barnhill, flying behind the Eagle Wall squadron, asked the command center,

however, before he could finish speaking, he suddenly fell silent.

"Is it a stealth fighter?! Damn Hamas, they've brought in those DWS people!"

As for that air battle that had occurred over Syria more than a month ago and shocked the world,

Israel naturally knew about it.

After all, that battle had already been recorded in air combat history.

And anti-stealth, beyond-visual-range combat was also given extreme importance by various countries after this battle.

In fact, beyond-visual-range combat was nothing unusual.

In fact, during the Gulf War era, Ugly Country had already pioneered its use.

At that time, whenever Iraqi warplanes took off, they were immediately detected by the E3 AWACS behind Ugly Country's lines,

which would then direct nearby F-15s to enter designated zones and use radar to search for targets.

Compared to the small-diameter radar equipped on fighters, the E3 AWACS radar could detect targets flying at low altitude up to 400 kilometers away, and direct 100 aircraft in air combat.

As a result, many Iraqi warplanes were locked on from takeoff to finish, shot down by air-to-air missiles fired from afar without ever knowing where their opponent was.

The Eagle Wall tactic, based on beyond-visual-range air combat, was born from this,

this tactic leveraged one's own numerical and command advantages to greatly compress the enemy's combat space.

However, compared to the Gulf War era,

modern beyond-visual-range combat was even more terrifying.

Especially when used in conjunction with stealth fighters.

Israel's "Phalcon" AWACS simply could not detect the targets.

Yet they themselves were within the enemy's attack range.

And the Eagle Wall, regarded by the Israeli military as a classic tactic, had become a live target.

As air-to-air missiles came streaking in from extreme distances, one after another.

Neither the F-15s nor the F-16s had any ability to retaliate.

Watching fighter after fighter explode, some pilots even ejected directly.

The Israeli command center immediately issued a retreat order.

Without the slightest hesitation, these Israeli Air Force pilots who had just been taking pleasure in killing Gazan civilians,

now fled in panic like lost dogs.

But could these planes really escape?

Just as the Israeli brigadier general had said during the war between the Israeli Air Force and Syria,

from our squadron's perspective, fighting the Syrian Air Force's main force of MiG-21s and MiG-23s was more like a shooting game.

And now, in the eyes of Lin Yi flying the F-22,

whether F-15s or F-16s, they were hardly any different from a shooting game.

He only needed to see the fighters locked on in the radar system, then press the launch button,

and then AIM-120C medium-range air-to-air missiles would be launched one after another.

Even a three-year-old child could do this.

There was absolutely no technical skill involved at all.

As for whether those fighters could escape,

Heh! Although the AIM-120C cannot match the Long Guo Pili-21's six-Ma He speed,

a four-Ma He speed is still one that neither the F-15 nor the F-16 can escape.

So, this is like a simple shooting game.

On Lin Yi's radar screen, those small icons representing fighter jets

were much like the enemy planes in the old arcade game "Galaxian".

With every AIM-120C missile cleared,

these missiles would be directly reloaded under the system's deduction of fees.

In just five short minutes, Lin Yi had fired nearly thirty AIM-120C missiles.

Until his radar system showed that there were no enemy aircraft within two hundred kilometers.

Only then did Lin Yi switch to normal cruising mode, reducing his speed from two Ma He to around one point five Ma He.

At this moment, his fighter jet had already passed over the skies of Jia Sha,

and as if on purpose, the F-22's flight altitude gradually decreased.

Even in the darkness, some people could see the familiar fuselage of the F-22.

"How could it be the Shou Guo's F-22?" the people of Jia Sha were very confused.

At this time, the five-year-old little girl Xiao Da Lun had already been rescued by the residents of Jia Sha from a house on the verge of collapse.

Her mother's body was hastily carried to one side,

and many Jia Sha residents had lost their lives in this air raid.
