—————

On Diego Garcia Island, the U.S. military did not know that Japanese reinforcements were on the way, and the war between the two sides had entered a fierce stage.

And the Japanese No. 1 Amphibious Wing, who was supporting them on the road, did not know that the rescue force of the Iraqi-Syrian Federal Guard Marine Corps would arrive at Diego Garcia Island earlier than they did.

For this ultra-long-distance landing operation, too many people were caught off guard. Even now, the US military does not even know how the other party got on the island.

But it doesn't matter now. For this war, only victory will have everything.

Just as both sides were making emergency landings on Diego Garcia Island, the U.S. Air Force, which had received the urgent news, had all returned at full speed in the sky.

The air base was destroyed, and there was nowhere else to go for every fighter jet that took off from Diego Garcia in the middle of nowhere.

It is also more than 3,000 kilometers away from the nearest African direction, and more than 3,500 kilometers away from the nearest friendly air force base.

It is impossible to fly the air force fighters on the island alone. Of course, if the U.S. military is willing, they can send tankers to support them.

It's just that the Pentagon didn't order all the fighter jets that took off from Diego Garcia Island to fly to a certain airport to land, but they all returned, killed the intruders, and then made an emergency landing on the island's airport.

In this regard, all the U.S. military pilots accepted the order without any hesitation, and all the fighter jets responsible for guarding and searching returned immediately.

But only two hundred kilometers away from Diego Garcia Island, you can see the black smoke floating in the sky in the distance, gathering in the sky above the island.

The island covered by the rocket bombs was a mess. Several oil depots near the port were burning. If the oil depots had not been protected by several layers, they might have exploded.

The raging fire covered most of the island, and the island was always shrouded in thick black smoke. At this moment, the burning oil depots and oil pipelines are still producing billowing thick smoke, and most of the island is almost overwhelmingly dark. .

This made every U.S. fighter pilot who came back very anxious.

Especially thinking that there are still thousands of comrades on the island who are fighting with the soldiers of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation, which makes them even more anxious.

However, when all the U.S. fighter jets were about to return quickly, a nearby early warning aircraft immediately sent a message that multiple suspicious fighter radar signals were found in the south of Diego Garcia Island.

The radar signal reacted similarly to the radar signal of the Black Hawk fighter jet. The AWACS just didn’t dare to make a final confirmation, but one thing was certain, that is, the comer was not good.

What's more, the south of Diego Garcia Island is also the most likely location of the Iraq-Syria Federation Navy Fleet.

For this reason, the early warning aircraft also hurriedly assembled all the US fighter jets that were returning nearby. The opponent had already carried out a landing operation, and there must be necessary air support. Only then can it be able to support the US military on the ground.

At the same time, the early warning aircraft is also constantly contacting the US military on the ground, hoping to understand the current situation on the island.

The only good thing is that the Pentagon has sent a message that the Japanese reinforcements are already on the way, and they will be able to arrive on the island in ten minutes.

At the same time, on the other side of Diego Garcia Island, the third carrier-based aircraft battalion that came over also spotted the gathering of U.S. fighter jets.

It's just that the number is a little bit beyond their expectations. During the attack of the peacekeeping bombers, all the fighter jets on the island's airport have been completely destroyed. But at this moment, the number of U.S. fighter jets assembled is still nearly one wing.

As for a brigade of the Red Police Corps, the number of fighter jets is only eighteen, and they have to face opponents three times their size.

However, this did not put too much pressure on the third carrier-based aircraft brigade. Although none of them were golden knights, those who were able to board the ship had at least won the title of bronze knight, and many of them were silver knights.

What's more, the performance of the opponent's fighter jets are also fighter jets that have been in service for a long time in the US military, and most of them are F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jets.

At this moment, the goal of both sides is to force the other side to be unable to intervene in the ground combat on the island, which makes the two sides approach the same direction with a tacit understanding.

However, the heavy smoke is not suitable for combat, so both sides consciously moved towards the left side of the island, where the sea is surrounded by archipelagos.

Even if a pilot parachutes, he will not always float on the sea and be able to go to the island and wait for rescue.

The first aerial confrontation in the Indian Ocean was undoubtedly launched on the edge of Diego Garcia Island.

On the one hand, there was the rest of the Air Force on the U.S. Army Island, and on the other hand, the Black Hawk carrier-based aircraft flying over 800 kilometers away. Before the two sides approached, a series of missiles flew towards each other.

In this kind of battle, it depends on whose missiles are better and whose fighter radar is more advanced.

The Black Hawk fighter has a strong cooperative combat capability, and can also borrow the radar and weapon system of any nearby Black Hawk fighter for its own use. The cooperative combat capability is not inferior to the F-18 super fighter of the US military under the powerful data link system. Bumblebee.

The third-generation fighter jets of other US military models simply do not have such close data exchange capabilities.

On the radar display of a fighter jet, only the radar graphics scanned by itself can be seen forever.

The Black Hawk fighter jets immediately launched over-the-horizon air-to-air missiles when they were 100 kilometers away. On the other hand, the U.S. military needs to get closer to within 70 to 80 kilometers before its airborne radar can lock on to the opponent.

However, after collecting the radar signals of the Black Hawk carrier-based aircraft, the U.S. military's early warning aircraft continued to carry out targeted interference, which also affected the radar system of the Black Hawk carrier-based aircraft to some extent.

And this kind of influence is very dangerous in high-speed air combat.

Fortunately, the Watchman carrier-based aircraft also arrived on the battlefield in time, and began to conduct anti-jamming against the US early warning aircraft.

However, the U.S. fighter jets are not so lucky. After all, the youngest fighter jets have been in service for more than ten years, and many aspects have not kept up with the times.

Under targeted interference, many U.S. fighter jets almost became blind.

After they launched the missile, they discovered to their horror that the incoming missile had already arrived before their eyes, and even evading it became a luxury. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
