Chapter 669 Is a Drone

When he pushed open the door of the tower, Anas saw a familiar man, tall and very young, wearing a Soviet military uniform with a star of honor on his shoulder, so conspicuous.

General Andre! As an air force pilot, General Andre is simply an idol for pilots from all Warsaw Pact countries! The battle example of General Andre flying a MiG-25 fighter and chasing an E-2 early warning aircraft around has become a textbook classic!

Now, seeing his idol, Anas was extremely excited: "General Andre, it's nice to meet you."

Anas saluted.

Looking at Anas who was full of worship, Andre also felt a sense of pride. Now, although Andre no longer participated in the front-line battles, but mainly commanded in the rear, he even turned to politics and used various advantages to trap his opponents. For example, now, he set various traps and successfully trapped Turkey. However, Andre has always been a pilot, and what he is most proud of is his experience in air combat.

This time, Andre came to Syria to put a perfect end to this Middle East war.

In the eyes of others, now that almost all countries in the Middle East have joined the war, the scene is quite chaotic and may even break out into a world war at any time. However, in Andre's eyes, this war is about to end.

The Americans finally had no more tricks! They began to release the hungry wolf of Israel. It seemed earth-shattering, but in fact, as long as Israel was defeated, the battle would be over.

In terms of land combat, with the latest T-72 tanks fully supported by the Soviet Union, Israel’s army has no advantage at all. The only thing Israel relies on is the Air Force!

In the historical Lebanon War, the Israeli Air Force once again lived up to expectations, destroyed the Syrian air defense forces, and achieved an absolute victory in the air battle. Although Israel has been claiming that it was 82 to 0, this number is very inflated and Israel also lost some fighter jets, but Israel's victory is absolute.

Now, Andrei has come to Syria. After a cordial conversation with Syrian President Assad, Assad agreed to Andrei's request. Andrei will serve as an adviser to the Soviet side and participate in the Syrian Air Force's counterattack.

Just two hours after arriving in Damascus and conversing with Assad, Andre received news that an air battle had taken place there. So he rushed to the air force base in northern Damascus to inquire about the situation from the pilots who had just gone into battle.

If history had developed as it had, the Israelis would definitely have come to paralyze the Syrian Air Force at this time.

"Anas, tell me about your shooting results this time." Andre said to Anas. He had just learned Anas' name from the base commander.

"Yes." Anas said, "We followed the guidance of the ground radar, turned on the aircraft at a distance of 80 kilometers, locked the target, and fired at a distance of 30 kilometers. Just like in training, the missile successfully shot down the enemy, but my wingman did not achieve any results."

"When your missile flew over, did the opponent make a high-G maneuver to evade it?" Andre asked.

"No, they were flying steadily, as if their radar warning receiver was broken." Anas said. This was also what made him strange. The target was just like a target plane! Moreover, it was a low-speed target plane! The speed of the other party was almost the same as that of a propeller plane!

"It seems that my worries were right." Andre said, "Israel is fooling us. The plane that escaped was a real F-16, and the one we shot down was not a manned fighter at all, but a drone. The Israelis are testing whether we can distinguish between a drone and a real plane."

Drones! Although it is only the 1980s, drones have already become popular. Among them, Israel is very advanced in this regard. In the battle of the Bekaa Valley, the Israelis used drones to fool Syria.

And now that Andre has arrived, he will never allow such a thing to happen again!

The air battle in the Bekaa Valley was not achieved overnight. The Israelis also went through repeated tests. For example, this time, the Israelis wanted to test whether the Syrian Air Force could distinguish between drones and F-16s!

In this case, why not just use the opponent's trick against him?

Jerusalem.

"Our air force has gone through a round of tests, and the Syrian Air Force simply cannot distinguish our Mastiff drones." At the Ministry of Defense, Air Force Commander David Ivry enthusiastically reported to Defense Minister Sharon.

The Bulldog UAV is a general-purpose combat surveillance UAV launched by Marat in 1975. It has a nose at the front and a double-boom tail at the back. In the middle of the double boom is a propeller for propulsion. This aircraft is definitely not the same size as the F-16. It is much smaller, but in front of the radar, it is just a light spot. Moreover, this aircraft has been improved to make its radar reflection area larger, so it can simulate its own air force fighters!

At the same time, in order to compete, Israel Aircraft Industries also developed a "Scout" drone, which is almost identical to the Mastiff drone.

This type of aircraft is mainly used to detect situations on the battlefield and replace the role of reconnaissance aircraft. Anyway, there is no need to worry about the danger of being shot down. At present, the world has not noticed the advantages of drones. Only the Israeli Air Force knows the great value of this aircraft. For example, it can be used to induce the opponent's air defense positions to open fire!

The first thing they had to verify was whether this drone could fool Syria's radar. Now, it has been proven that the other side was fooled! They used air-to-air missiles to attack their own drones! You know, the cost of air-to-air missiles has far exceeded that of drones!

At that time, Commander David was sitting in an E-2 early warning aircraft, observing the entire process. Now, as soon as the plane landed, he came to report to Sharon.

Sharon is in a state of panic. The powerful combat capability of the Syrian ground forces has defeated his own armored forces, and his own air force can no longer be hidden and must be deployed!

"According to the original plan, all anti-aircraft missiles in the Bekaa Valley will be blown up and Syria's air force will be completely destroyed!" Sharon said.

Only when the Syrian Air Force is defeated without any chance of fighting back, can our own Air Force boldly support the Army. It is not scary if the tanks are outclassed, as long as the Air Force is strong!
