Four Hundred and Eightieth IX Purchase F-Thirty-Five
A heavy atmosphere pervades Netanyahu's office. Outside, the sky has gradually brightened, but the hearts of everyone inside are still as dark as before dawn, without a ray of light.
"Zaire, I need an explanation."
After being silent for a long time, the hands holding the battle briefing were trembling slightly, Netanyahu finally spoke, staring at the air force commander he had promoted, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"The Air Force's impulsiveness again, we have paid a great price." Zaire replied with a sad face.
"Why don't you explain it?" Netanyahu said strangely.
"In the face of such a failure, any explanation is pale. I am willing to take all the main responsibilities. This is my mistake, and it has no direct relationship with all the officers and soldiers of the Air Force." Zaire said calmly.
In the face of such a failure, someone must bear the responsibility. An air battle that was supposed to be an advantage, but now, it is another failure of the Israelis.
The fighter jets of the two wings can already sweep half of the Middle East with such power, but they have another big somersault in front of the Future Technology Group.
Facing the superior air defense firepower of the opponent, the fighter jets also had superior firepower, and they were all tightly suppressed.
The most tragic thing is that after this air battle, they vowed to kill the opponent's fighter jets, but they didn't even hurt a single fighter.
On the contrary, our own side lost 20 fighter jets. Such a loss is really worse for Israel, which has already suffered huge losses from air strikes.
You must know that twenty third-generation air combat fighters are almost the only air power in many countries. Even in the Middle East, few countries have as many as twenty third-generation air combat fighters.
Iran, which has always been Israel's main opponent, is nothing more than the Panda fighter jets left over from that year, and the number now is less than twenty.
And this is almost already the main air force of the Iranian Air Force. Israeli Air Force so far. It can also be said that it hurts muscles and bones.
Except for a relatively complete air force training base in the center of the desert 120 kilometers south of Tel Aviv, there is no organized air force combat force in other places.
Such a huge loss. The government has no way to give an explanation to the parliament and the people, but if it compares Israel's national strategic interests. Even if such damage can no longer be tolerated,
You must also find a way to bear it.
The stronger the opponent is, the more determined it is to attack the opponent. Otherwise, it will be even more difficult to deal with in the future.
"Now is not the time to discuss responsibility. I have already discussed with the parliament. In the face of our losses, what we have to do is to concentrate all our strength. To completely eliminate the Future Technology Group, this time the determination outside has never been firmer."
Netanyahu said firmly and decisively: "You must stay in your post now. I look forward to the news that you have committed crimes and meritorious deeds."
Zaire looked at his old officer in surprise, but quickly nodded firmly. Assured: "I will definitely not let the country and the people down."
"What we have to do now is to immediately adjust the direction of the country's power. We must quickly repair all the airports and gather all the air force. When necessary, we can unblock our own fighter jets." Netanyahu instructed road.
However, Zaire shook his head when he heard the words and said: "Your Excellency, Future Technology Group has a very advanced air defense system, especially in the field of air surveillance, which is not inferior to any country in the world at all. Facing such an opponent, a generational fighter has no advantage at all."
"Are you saying that we have to buy F-35 to gain an advantage in the confrontation with Future Technology Group?" Netanyahu frowned slightly and said.
"This is the most direct way, otherwise, even if we can destroy the opponent's air defense and anti-missile system, we will have to pay a huge price." Zaire said.
The issue of purchasing the F-35 has always been a key issue discussed by high-level Israelis. The United States has always hoped to have more allies or friends to purchase this very expensive fighter jet.
Previously, the Israeli side had no need for this at all, and the large number of third-generation fighter jets could already meet their needs. The Lightning fighter jets, in the hands of Israel, also had no effect.
However, in the face of any sound ground air defense network, Israel really needs an advanced fighter jet to deal with the air defense network of the Future Technology Group.
But buying a Lightning fighter now doesn't mean you can buy it right away and equip it immediately. After all, there are not a few countries that are queuing up to equip the Lightning fighter.
Those countries that directly participated in the development of this fighter have not begun to formally equip this fighter.
And now the United States is actively promoting the two sides to sit down and talk. Whether they will agree to sell Lightning fighter jets to Israel is still unclear.
"This is unrealistic in a short period of time." Netanyahu shook his head and said very bluntly: "It is impossible for the United States to sell it to us in a short period of time. Even if it wants to sell it, it will not be delivered to us within two or three years. .”
"Then I don't recommend that our fighter jets compete head-on with the air defense firepower of the Future Technology Group. The opponent's air defense firepower configuration is very complete, with multiple steps before and after, and can defend the airspace with a radius of more than 100 kilometers in Marin Town. All fighter planes entering this airspace are very dangerous," Zaire said.
"Then find a way to destroy these anti-aircraft weapons. This matter must not be left alone." Netanyahu said.
At this moment, the Minister of Defense on the side interjected and suggested: "Then we can only end the fighting in Lebanon as soon as possible, and concentrate the ground forces and air power to deal with the future technology group."
Concentrating forces to deal with the current future technology group is indeed more important than fighting in Lebanon.
But since the battle has already begun, it is not so simple to end it.
It can be said that the direction has come out, but will the current Lebanese army simply end the state of fighting with Israel?
At least, from the current point of view, with the help of mercenaries from future security companies, the Lebanese army has almost been able to resist the attack of the Israeli army, and has also begun to increase casualties to the Israeli army.
Netanyahu thought for a while and said: "Then first agree to the mediation of various countries and see the reaction of the Lebanese side." (To be continued.) Launch the new website
