Chapter 685: Unexpected Intermission

A squadron F-15E fighter jet was destroyed, and more than 10 pilots were captured. Such a huge loss was that Lieutenant General Walker, the commander of the US military stationed in Iraq, was speechless after reading the battle report.

If you fight with the People's Liberation Army, the loss would be fine, but the opponent is the Persian Air Force, which has almost never made any achievements in the air since the war started, then this is unbearable. When did the Persians also have such air strength?

Fighter Dragon Fighter? After studying the detailed report of the surviving major of Israeli Air Force Lennon, air force intelligence analysts determined that the fighter obtained by the Persians was the Fighter Dragon jointly developed and produced by China and Pakistan. Lieutenant General Walker was not very impressed by this fighter jet because the PLA Air Force was not equipped, and now only a few countries such as Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are using it. The US military has never paid much attention to such a fighter jet that is comparable to the F-16.

Even though Pakistan used this fighter jet and J-10 fighter jet in the India-Pakistan war to shine, the US military did not have much interest and only studied this as a general case, because the US military knew very well about the Indian army's background and they could boast about a third-rate army as the third in the world.

Therefore, the US military still doesn't know much about the F-15E fighter. In the next battle of Diaoyutai, the US military intelligence department has more important goals to be clarified, and there is not much attention to the matter of the Pakistani army. However, this time, the entire F-15E fighter jet of a squadron of the US military was destroyed, which made Lieutenant General Walker begin to re-examine the fighter jet developed by China and Pakistan.

In particular, the Persians and the Chinese had the same combat tactics as the Chinese, which had an astonishing hit rate. This tactic was fatal to the air force in Lieutenant General Walker's hands, because although Lieutenant General Walker controlled more than 100 fighter jets, most of them were improved squadrons of the F-15 and F-16. For the Persians, the main opponent of the US military in the Gulf, these three and a half models were enough.

Most of the squadrons of the fourth-generation fighter jets overseas are now deployed in places targeting the Chinese and near the Persians. Only the 455th Air Expeditionary Wing of the US Bagram in Afghanistan has deployed one squadron of F-22 and one squadron of F-35, and the rest are the ultimate improved models of the F-15 SE Silent Eagle of three squadrons.

Lieutenant General Walker weighed his trump card. He now has two squadrons, F-15SE Silent Eagle, which is the most elite force. The remaining are two squadrons, F-15E/F (originally three squadrons, but since the Iron Fist Squadron was destroyed, there are only two squadrons left) and three squadrons, F-16C/D.

In addition, most of the F-35 squadrons of the Israeli army, Walker's current strength is also very strong, and it still has the upper hand compared to the Persians. According to Major Lennon's report, the Persians dispatched about 5 squadrons this time, and three of the F-11 fighter jets lost most of their strength in the battle.

However, the Persians hid these fighter jets in their hinterland. Now the amazing combat power suddenly burst out, and a brand new radar system for combat purposes. Lieutenant General Walker did not dare to send the US air early warning aircraft at the Basra base into the Persian territory. Who knows what weapons the Persians had obtained from the Chinese. Before completely destroying the Persian air defense forces, the air early warning aircraft entering Persia from the west was simply a target for the Persians.

However, if there is no air early warning aircraft, the combat power of US fighter jets will be greatly reduced. Now the effective range of the airborne radar of the fighter jets in Lieutenant General Walker is about 100 kilometers. As for the distance to provide radar guidance for the AIM-120 missile, the distance that provides radar guidance for the AIM-120 missile will be shorter. Facing the Persian fighter jets, the warning range of this warning aircraft exceeds 500 kilometers, and the guidance distance is at least 150 kilometers.

If personal gains and losses and military honors are aside, Lieutenant General Walker's wisest approach is to seek help from the headquarters and work together with the US troops stationed in Afghanistan to launch an attack from the east, and the depth from the line to Tabas is about 400 kilometers. In this way, the air warning aircraft that take off from Bamram or Kandahar can approach the Afghan border with dual defenses in the ground and air to provide reliable early warning command for fighters.

Coupled with the F-22 and F-35 fighter jets with stronger penetration capabilities, this is more certain for the final air defense force that completely defeats the Persians.

However, if Lieutenant General Walker does this, it is equivalent to admitting his failure and completely losing dominance over the Persian war. This is completely unacceptable for Lieutenant General Walker, who is determined to reach the peak of military personnel and is determined to become the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Army.

Therefore, beyond the Persians' surprise, the US military's attacks did not follow one after another. Instead, Lieutenant General Walker chose to deliberately downplay the incident. In a report to the Chairman and the Secretary of Defense of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Lieutenant General Walker described this unfortunate incident as a despicable ambush by the Persians, concentrating the air force of the whole country to make the Iron Fist Squadron outnumbered, causing a tragedy.

However, the Iron Fist Squadron still beat ten in extreme unfavorable circumstances, which severely damaged the Persians. Lieutenant General Walker said that the US troops stationed in Iraq would learn from their lessons and completely eliminate the last trump card exposed by the Persians.

Losing a squadron of fighter jets in air combat is of course a big deal for the US military, especially in the extremely sensitive Gulf region. The US President even convened the National Security Council to discuss this matter. Secretary of State Burns, Presidential Security Advisor Brandt Carter, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Army Pasim Sousa and Secretary of Defense Karen Gest, as well as the President's specially invited commander-in-chief of the Joint Task Force Command of the Middle East, General Nikola Karen, attended the discussion.

The meeting discussed this latest change in the Persian war. With the support of General Nicholas Karen, Lieutenant General Walker's report convinced all the bigwigs who attended the meeting, and they agreed with Lieutenant General Walker's statement. This was an accident, and the US military stationed in Iraq had the ability to deal with it.

However, at the suggestion of Admiral Nicholas Karen, the US military bases in several other countries in the Gulf region were temporarily under the command of Lieutenant General Walker, which allowed Lieutenant General Walker to have stronger naval and air force strength and more attack options. From the vast front line of Basra to Muscat, Lieutenant General Walker was able to launch attacks on the Persians.

As for the US military stationed in Afghanistan, the US military reconnaissance satellite detected that the Chinese suddenly added a new mechanic and infantry division and air division in the northwest border area, and a mysterious second artillery brigade-level convoy movement. This special action confused the intelligence analysts at the US military headquarters. Before the PLA was unable to determine the meaning of the PLA's movement, the top U.S. military decided not to move for the time being.

Under this strange situation, the Persians got an extremely valuable respite, giving General Hajid time to obtain the surface-to-air missiles obtained from China. In addition to the first batch of 10 Red Flag-9A air defense missile systems purchased, General Hajid also obtained 30 Red Flag-16 air defense missile systems and 30 Red Flag-17 bicycle automated field field air missile weapon systems.

The victory of Tabas air battle and the huge power of Chinese weapons allowed General Rajay to gain the trust and high praise of President Hashmi, so General Rajay received greater procurement authorization.

Therefore, at the first time after the Tabas air battle, General Rajay asked to see General Yang of the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army through a contact representative. He proposed a new procurement requirement of up to tens of billions of dollars, especially focusing on more fighter jets, radars and air defense missiles. The surveillance system of the US stealth unmanned reconnaissance aircraft was also highly favored by General Rajay.

Faced with this super large order issued by the Persians, the General Staff felt that it could be satisfied after careful research. By arming the Persians, it would be possible to fight against the US military's control in the Gulf region and effectively offset the threat of the US troops stationed in Afghanistan to the northwest of China. This is a win-win solution.

Therefore, the General Staff and the General Staff have taken some thought to the Persians' super order of 10 billion US dollars. Although the Persians are very interested in the PLA's main fighter jets J-10C and J-11C, the PLA's main fighter equipment has never been exported, except for the occasional Pakistani railway. Therefore, the two fighter jets that General Rajay longed for were politely rejected by the General Staff.

Therefore, the Persians had no good choices to purchase fighter jets except the JF-10. However, at the suggestion of General Yang Jianguo, General Rajay visited 611 stations, visited the design progress of the new JF-10 and J-10P fighter jets, and carefully studied the simulation of the performance parameters of these two fighter jets, General Rajay made a decision to order these two new fighter jets that were still under development.

General Rajay hopes to obtain 100 new J-10 fighter jets and 60 J-10P fighter jets within five years. Rajay offers US$25 million for the new J-10P fighter jets and US$50 million for the J-10P fighter jets. In other words, Duke's foreign trade heroes invested and participated in have received a large order of US$6 billion during the development process.

With the new $1 billion surveillance system order, Duke has made great gains from the Persians' 10 billion dollar orders and has won the big head.

For the remaining amount, the General Staff and the General Assembly prepared a large number of air defense missile systems for the Persians, among which the highly maneuverable Hongqi-16 air defense missile system and the Hongqi-17 bicycle automated field air missile weapon system have become the new killer weapon of the Persians.

Therefore, during the unexpected breathing time, the Persians quietly rebuilt their new air defense system. They not only obtained the most important air defense missile system at present, but also received a new Xiaolong fighter squadron. When Lieutenant General Walker was redeployed, the Persians also quietly completed the transformation and gained new power from the Zhongba.
