In actual combat, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, to guide one's own fighters to a relatively close distance from the F-117.
Now, everything is satisfied.
Omar looked at the multi-function display in front of him, and finally, his excited graphics were displayed. After the R-73 seeker rotated flexibly for a circle, it intercepted the target!
The seeker of the R-73 missile moves synchronously with the helmet sight. Therefore, after starting the missile, as Omar searches the surrounding airspace, the seeker of the missile also searches synchronously.
Although Omar's eyes still failed to find the target, R-73's eyes were brighter than his, and he had already found the target!
The rest is simple, launch the missile!
Michael, like the hapless Oakes, was hit by a missile from behind without feeling anything.
When the violent explosion sound came from behind, Michael immediately realized that he had also been hit unfortunately.
Without any hesitation, Michael immediately pulled the ejection handle between his legs, and the top canopy was ejected. Then, the rocket on the seat ignited, and Michael successfully ejected from the cockpit.
The F-117 is not a bubble-style cockpit like other U.S. fighter jets, so it does not use a cover gun to make four holes, and then the seat is opened up. The top is a skin, so it must be thrown away first. Only the canopy can be ejected.
Seeing his plane turn into a fireball, even though Michael managed to escape, he was still very nervous. From the moment he was about to land, he had to run non-stop!He needs to go through Iraq, reach Kuwait, and with the help of American agents, he can return to the United States.
Michael didn't know that compared to Oakes, he was lucky.
Oakes is still working hard to operate the plane.
It wasn't that Oakes didn't want to escape, but because his ejector seat was malfunctioning.
The flashing red light on the front dashboard was shocking, but when Oakes pulled the ejector handle to get out of here, he realized that there was no response?
The first thousand and forty-five chapters
Oakes didn't know that the Sam-10 missile exploded below the F-117, near the bomb bay of the F-117, and countless shrapnel flew by, punching the F-117's belly with thousands of holes.
Among them, a piece of shrapnel flew into the cockpit from below, and just interrupted the wiring harness of an important sensor of the bombing seat. Therefore, the bombing seat could not receive the signal and could not be bombed.
Oaks only knew that his plane had been hit, many systems had problems, and the flight of the plane was not very controlled, but he couldn't eject it, so he had only one choice: forced landing!
Don't let the bullets escape, and run away after landing, right?
Oakes knew that forced landing was very dangerous, especially, he didn't know how many systems on the fuselage had failed. For example, if the hydraulic system failed and the landing gear couldn't be put down, it would still be quite dangerous.
Therefore, it needs to land in a flat area. Fortunately, the west of Baghdad is a desert area.
Oaks didn't know at this time, and the desert area was not very good. On the first day of the Gulf War in later generations, a pilot named Michael was shot down and parachuted to the desert area. As a result, he was eaten by wild dogs in the desert. up.
Even if Oakes knew about it, he couldn't care less. Now he can't just jump off the plane, he can only make an emergency landing in this plane!
Outside, it was pitch black. The special shape of the F-117 made it difficult to take off and land. Of course, it was much easier to drive than the U-2.
The field of view is far less clear than that of F-15 and F-16, and the horizon cannot be seen. The backup mechanical instruments in the cabin are working normally at this time. If even this instrument fails, Oakes will be completely lost.
Even so, Oakes didn't have confidence, he was just trying to operate the plane, wobbly and constantly lowering the altitude, as for where he could fly, he didn't know.
The two bombs in the belly of the aircraft had already been thrown out, which made him calmer, otherwise, if he landed with those two bombs, he would be in danger of exploding at any time.
What's more, the display of the fuel gauge kept decreasing. The plane must be leaking fuel somewhere, which made him even more frightened. If the plane leaked fuel while being hit by the missile, he would have followed the plane a long time ago. It turned into a fireball.
Now, since the fuel is getting less and less, the danger during forced landing can also be reduced.
The altimeter is constantly rotating, the altitude is getting lower and lower, and finally, it is getting close to the ground.
Oakes didn't know if there were other radars around, but he had no choice but to lower the gear.Putting down the landing gear will make this kind of aircraft completely lose its stealth function, and the landing gear will reflect a lot of radar waves.
Oakes pressed the button, but found that there was no display on the dashboard.He also didn't seem to hear the opening of the hatch below.
Is the landing gear lowered?Oakes doesn't know, what's below?He also didn't know, in the darkness, he seemed to see an endless stretch, like a desert.
Let's land!He gritted his teeth, success or failure is here.
At this moment, the only engine was also turned off, and all the fuel had been consumed.
He brought the operating rod backwards. Although the telex system also failed, this four-redundant telex system allowed for secondary failures, and it was not affected for the time being.
However, with the engine turned off, it was time to test him. With the engine turned off, the remaining power of the fly-by-wire system was already very low. Moreover, the pressure of the hydraulic oil would gradually decrease due to the lack of a supercharger. He could only move a few times. If the lever is not operated, all the rudder surfaces will be stuck due to the lack of electricity and hydraulic pressure, and he will be powerless.
With rich flying experience, Oakes did not have any hesitation. He slowly took the stick and descended gently with a skilled glide angle, as if this was the most perfect landing since he flew this kind of aircraft.
Suddenly, his heart relaxed for a while, and a familiar feeling came from behind. The main landing gear had already touched the ground, and the resistance on the ground was very strong, so it should be in the desert.
The plane will stop soon, and then he can open the canopy, and when he gets down, he should blow up the plane and then leave, right?
He was thinking about it, but suddenly felt that something was wrong with the landing posture of the plane.
After the main landing gear touches down, taxi for a certain distance, it should be the nose landing gear touchdown, but now, the posture of the aircraft should have reached the time for the nose landing gear to touch down, but the plane is still lying forward.
The landing gear in front is not put down!
Oops!Oakes was startled, he pulled the control stick backwards, hoping to adjust the attitude of the plane, so that the plane can continue to maintain an upward angle, otherwise, the plane will be in danger if it climbs directly like this.
However, his efforts were unsuccessful. The pressure of the hydraulic system had dropped to the limit, and all the rudder surfaces were fixed in their fixed positions!
"Boom!" There was a violent vibration, and the nose of the aircraft was in close contact with the sand. The huge vibration made Oakes feel as if his internal organs were about to be knocked out, and a hot current surged in his throat. "Pfft!" A mouthful of blood was spat out from the mouth of the oxygen mask that had been removed, and sprayed onto the front glass.His eyes went dark, and he didn't know anything.
The F-117 plunged headlong into the desert. The huge impact caused its front half to sink into the sand, leaving only the V-shaped tail and the buttocks of the two engines facing the sky.
Oaks crashed into the desert a hundred kilometers west of Baghdad.
Compared with Oakes, whose life and death were unknown, Michael's luck was pretty good. After he set foot on solid ground, he cut off the parachute behind him with a paratrooper knife, checked the equipment he was carrying, a dagger, a self-defense pistol, and a compass , the radio, and the medical kit were all there, so he chose the direction and started walking south.
"President Qusay, there were three invading enemy planes. We shot down two and escaped one. One of the enemy planes dropped two bombs, but it did not fall into our urban area, and no one was killed. Injury," Air Force Commander Maj. Gen. Abed said.
Although one was released, this operation was considered a sufficient victory. You must know that this is the F-117 stealth fighter that the Americans advertised as invincible!
"Send search forces, we must find the wreckage of the two enemy planes that were shot down as soon as possible, and capture the American pilot before dawn." Qusay said, "We need to get rid of all the wreckage before dawn." , no trace can be found."
In later generations, there is a widely circulated saying that the F-117 shot down by the Yugoslavia was secretly obtained by the eastern power, studied and used in its own stealth fighter.
Now, Iraq has the wreckage of two planes, which has a great effect on Iraq's technological progress.
At this time, Qusay did not know that there was an almost complete F-117 in the desert west of Baghdad.
The threat of air defense in downtown Baghdad has been lifted, but Qusay is caught in a dilemma: how will this incident end if it becomes a big deal?
Qusay knows that there is a fateful battle between Iraq and the United States, a battle for oil interests in the Middle East, but right now, he is not yet fully prepared.
If there is a real fight now, although it will not be as tragic as the Gulf War in later generations, Iraq cannot start the war until it is [-]% sure.
Tolerate?Back then, Goujian, the king of Yue, endured humiliation. Didn't he finally destroy the state of Wu?At the beginning, Han Xin endured the humiliation of his crotch, and finally became an indomitable hero?
