In fact, at that time, it was originally supposed to reach the Mach 2.5 standard, but some problems arose in the development. In the end, this high-altitude and high-speed fighter did not reach the Mach 2.5 standard, so it was handed over to the Air Force of the Kingdom of Iraq. The general Sidewinder
Air-to-air missiles can also fly Mach 2.5.
Historically, because the MiG-25 has Mach 2.8, it is to a certain extent a high-altitude and high-speed fighter with double triple standard. It can throw away the air-to-air missiles equipped by the Israeli Air Force with a single acceleration. This has brought great benefits to Israel, the United States and even the entire free world.
Shocking. The Iraqi Air Force will not necessarily suffer in the air battle.
High-altitude and high-speed fighter jets are equivalent to specialized weapons that are particularly good at a certain place. The MiG-25 flies extremely fast, leaving the Israeli Air Force helpless.
Alan Wilson also doesn’t think that high-altitude and high-speed fighter aircraft will definitely withdraw from the stage of history. Maybe one day in a few decades, it will come back?
There is no unified standard for sixth-generation fighter jets. If any country comes up with a high-altitude and high-speed fighter with double four-standard standards, it can call itself a sixth-generation fighter jet. There is nothing wrong with it.
"Why wasn't the Royal Air Force equipped at that time?" Dennis Healy asked this question when he heard that the Cabinet Secretary was so optimistic about the performance of the Iraqi Air Force.
"It was cut off because of military spending issues. Manufacturing is just to accumulate manufacturing experience." Alan Wilson looked helpless. Whose fault is this? Isn't it the matter of Harold Wilson's last term?
Dennis Healy was keenly aware that if further investigation would be held, the Prime Minister or even himself would be held accountable, and the issue of why the Royal Air Force was not equipped would no longer be mentioned.
Because the handsome man has not officially served in the Royal Air Force, this fighter jet was named the Long Arrow fighter by Iraq. In fact, it is more famous. Arab countries also call the handsome man the Long Arrow fighter. It is better than NATO calling the handsome man the Fin Whale.
.
In terms of electronic equipment, the United Kingdom is definitely better than the Soviet Union. The backwardness in electronic equipment has been revealed as early as the Soviet Union. However, in this era, electronic equipment has not developed to an extremely important stage like it did in the 21st century. The first two
When the Soviet Union carried out electronic jamming to cover its raid on Warsaw in 2006, NATO found nothing.
In general, as long as the Iraqi Air Force is careful with the long arrows in its hands, even if it cannot defeat the Israeli Air Force, it will not be so easy for the Israeli Air Force to catch up with the Iraqi Air Force.
"In fact, it has been less than a day since the Israeli air attack on Egypt. The beginning of the war was a time when fake news was most common, and the battle reports from both sides were untrustworthy." Alan Wilson asked the Secretary of Defense to calm down. It is not yet certain what the outcome will be.
No matter who will win the final victory, no matter what, there must be conclusive news from the ground battlefield.
In his heart, the supreme authority was actually very concerned about what kind of results the Iraqi Air Force would achieve after joining the war. While the French fighter jets had just been severely damaged, the British fighter jets followed suit.
Although this fighter jet is not in service in the country and the name given to it by Iraq is more famous, it is still made in Britain after all.
Naturally, the cabinet meeting cannot only talk about whether fighter jets are useful or not. The key point is that several countries participating in the war have already announced national mobilization. Whether it is a bluff or something, it is very dangerous.
"Of course it's a bluff, but it's still dangerous." Foreign Secretary Patrick made a two-pronged conclusion, explaining his understanding of the current situation in the Middle East.
In a sense, publicly announcing mobilization is to deter opponents, but once some countries announce their follow-up, it may lead to an escalation spiral.
There is no need to look for examples elsewhere. During World War I in Europe, Germany, France, Russia, and Australia announced general mobilization to each other. As a result, they were unable to dismount, and finally had to see the real results on the battlefield.
"Something must be done. This will have an impact on the world's energy." The entire cabinet meeting was filled with the gentlemen's concern that world peace was in danger.
Look, every minister is so concerned about the country and the people. If everyone gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful world.
This is not like some retrograde British treasure who is happily telling the microphone, "Whether Al Jazeera can become a TV station with great influence in the Arab world depends on this broadcast. We will resolutely defend the Arab world."
It is extremely important for our interests to be widely heard around the world."
When Vivien Leigh put down the phone, her daughter Suzanne wanted to ask when her mother also ran a TV station in an Arab country, which seemed to be important.
"What's wrong, Susanna?" Vivien Leigh saw her somewhat silent daughter and said with care, "Are you having any difficulties recently?"
"There is no difficulty, mother, I just think you are in good condition." Susanna replied with a smile, "Even now, you still have such a strong ambition."
"Everyone is influenced by others." Vivien Leigh answered seriously. She is so enterprising mainly because there is a man who is more enterprising.
"This is Al Jazeera. Just now, Yemeni leader Nasser announced that he will join the war against Zionism to defend the dignity of the Arab world. Next..."
In the Office of the Cabinet Secretary in Whitehall, a gathering of ministers and permanent undersecretaries are waiting for them. They have also just received news of Yemen's participation in the war.
"It should be difficult for Yemen to persuade Saudi Arabia or Egypt to open their territory to march. Egypt cannot be on guard against the Free Officers Organization, and the Saudi chiefs are also very afraid of the fate of the Yemeni chiefs." Makins said with some surprise, "Yemen
What exactly are you going to do?”
"We must consider one issue. The Yemeni Air Force is not weak, especially since the Soviet Union took a fancy to Yemen's position and gave Yemen a lot of Tu-16 bombers. The Yemeni Air Force may participate in the war, and there is an airport on Tim Island that can be used."
Alan Wilson replied, "The Yemeni Air Force is fully capable of providing air superiority cover to the Egyptian army in the Sinai Peninsula."
It is not impossible for Nasser, who has always promoted Arab nationalism, to put aside his past grievances and contribute to the entire Arab nation. This move may also improve relations with Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
In the Sinai Peninsula, the Egyptian army has strong defenses. The Israeli army suffered great losses due to the fierce and accurate Egyptian anti-tank fire. After bloody battles, the Israeli army finally approached the target step by step. Israeli tanks rushed into Ali
Shi urban area, this small city is close to the Mediterranean Sea and is an important station on the railway from Gaza to the Suez Canal. Breaking through El-Arish is the key to the Sinai Peninsula campaign.
As early as the start of the Israeli Air Force's raid on Egypt, the defenders in the Sinai Peninsula received news of the outbreak of the war, and immediately received orders to enter major settlements and wait for reinforcements.
The attacking Israeli army, totaling 60,000 people, was divided into three groups and moved towards their respective targets. However, what they did not expect was that they did not encounter a sniper attack from the Egyptian army.
It even felt like entering an uninhabited land, but after rushing into the city of El-Arish, everything changed. Positional warfare is a method that no army is willing to face, especially Israel.
Streets extending in all directions divided each stronghold into ideal streets for fighting. The Egyptian defenders hid in the city without any scruples to welcome the Israeli army's attack. They did not mind at all, turning the formerly bustling streets into a purgatory.
As for the giant air defense tower used to protect the security of the Suez Canal, there happens to be one on the east side of the city of El-Arish, and it is already in operation. It and El-Arish mutually cover each other and become a giant fortress blocking the Israeli advance.
The Egyptian Air Force has basically been defeated, and Israeli aircraft are in a deserted state. In order to increase the number of aircraft dispatches, Israeli ground crews refuel and reload ammunition in increasingly shorter and shorter times. Their record is to refill more than 7,000 liters
It took 5 minutes to add gasoline and only a few seconds to attach an auxiliary fuel tank. They sent batch after batch of ghost-like aircraft into the sky.
Now the main task of the Israeli Air Force is to open a channel for the army's advancement. Anyway, it is the enemy and they drop bombs towards the city of El-Arish without any regard. However, when facing the Al-Arish air defense tower, this attack surface has little effect.
, on the contrary, the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft missiles equipped by the Al-Arish air defense tower are constantly venting towards the sky, expressing their sense of existence.
In the face of carpet bombing by the Israeli Air Force, the air defense tower remained standing. The predecessor of this reinforced concrete cube with a length, width and height of 70 meters continued to fight against the British and American strategic bombings until Berlin was captured. At this time, it was replaced by a new one.
The country has changed its environment, but it remains as strong as ever, and the bombshells cannot shake it at all.
The fall time of the air defense tower depends entirely on when the Egyptian king declares a truce. After the two batches of bombings, the pilots of the Israeli Air Force couldn't help but curse. The attack on the air defense tower was a princely strategy, even if it cannot be said to be completely effective.
The smoke was harmless, but it was obviously far from destroying the target.
For Israel, time is the most precious thing. Israel cannot fight a protracted war with Arab countries. It must conquer El-Arish at all costs and cut off the important supply base of the Egyptian Army.
The news of the fierce fighting in El-Arish was also known to the people in Cairo. The people in Cairo were also as powerful as the people in the morning sun. Soon word of mouth spread that there was a giant air defense tower in the city of El-Arish, and even this giant air defense tower.
The tower itself is part of a supply base for the Egyptian army in the Sinai Peninsula.
If this supply center had not been completely occupied, the Egyptian army would not have been in a situation where even drinking water was a problem. In the sky over Gaza, the Iraqi Air Force that arrived was also fighting with the Israeli Air Force. This was a high-altitude, high-speed fighter jet.
