The E-2 Hawkeye early warning aircraft closely monitors all suspicious targets on the ground and in the air in the direction of Lebanon and Syria in the sky.

Early warning aircraft, also known as air command early warning aircraft, is to overcome the low-altitude target search distance limited by radar due to the curvature of the earth, which is also the basis for low-altitude penetration, and at the same time reduce terrain interference. Placed on an aircraft, it is used to search for and monitor air or sea targets, command and guide its own aircraft to perform combat missions.

The biggest problem facing the early warning aircraft is the influence of ground clutter. Before the emergence of pulse Doppler radar technology, because the ground clutter could not be filtered out, even if it is used, it can only be used on flat seas. .

E-2 "Eagle Eye" is a carrier-based early warning aircraft developed by Grumman Corporation of the United States. It is used for fleet air defense and air combat guidance and command. It usually takes off from an aircraft carrier and has foldable wings. Pre-jǐng task.The Israeli air forces have always attached great importance to the upgrading of new technologies, so they equipped this kind of early warning aircraft for the first time, hoping to gain an advantage in the war.

At this time, the E-2 early warning aircraft was faithfully performing its mission, and the radome like a mushroom dish above the fuselage was rotating, and all the targets within 200 nautical miles around were all in sight.

On the operating platform inside, the commanders were even more nervous. The planes directing their own attack waves gradually approached the Bekaa Valley. At the same time, they also monitored that a large number of Syrian fighter planes had already taken off. In air combat, its task will be even more difficult.

And another Boeing 707 modified electronic warfare plane is also performing its own mission. Later, it will exert strong electromagnetic interference to disable all Syrian radar and radio command systems, thus causing Syrian pilots to lose ground command.

In the Soviet-style air combat mode, pilots are used to arriving in the designated airspace to fight under the guidance of ground personnel. Without ground guidance, they become blind.

Since the E-2 early warning aircraft was originally developed specifically for the navy, the body is relatively small, and there are only three sets of personnel to guide it. In this case, they ignored the monitoring of the sea directly below.

A new combat style is about to begin.

At this time, the Mediterranean Sea is sunny and sunny, and the scenery is beautiful, which does not match the tragic atmosphere before the war at all.

A yacht, before dawn, had already set off from the coast of Lebanon, wandering in the Mediterranean Sea.

Although the situation in Lebanon is relatively chaotic, it does not affect the rich people's enjoyment of life.

On the deck of the yacht, stood several blonde beauties in bikinis.

Overhead, an Israeli Navy helicopter circled their yacht twice, and the beauties below immediately cheered and waved to them.

"Let's go!" said the captain of the helicopter. There was nothing suspicious about the yacht below. They had no reason to attack such a yacht. Maybe the Lebanese on the yacht were their allies.

As the sun rose higher and higher, the beauty on the deck took off the coat she wore on her body, covered her body with sunscreen, and began to sunbathe.

The scene is very evocative.

No one will notice that in the cabin of the yacht, several big men are making final preparations, and there are several Stinger anti-aircraft missiles beside them.

"We only have one chance, we must aim." One of the big men said, he is the person in charge of this operation, and their task is to kill the two planes that have been circling over the Mediterranean Sea!

Although the plane is flying overhead, they can't do it yet, they are waiting for the opportunity.

All of this was arranged by Zhang Feng.

When sending Marwan and the others to the Bekaa Valley, Zhang Feng also gave Marwan another task: ask Arafat to organize his own manpower to kill the pre-warning planes and electronic warfare planes listed above!

If the border between Iraq and Israel is adjacent, maybe Zhang Fengfeng will consider letting a speed champion like the MiG-25 carry out high-altitude and high-speed interception. Before the Israeli air force reacts, it can kill the opponent's early warning plane. The mission when the MiG-25 was developed.

However, it is impossible to do this now, so I can only think of other methods.

The battle examples of later generations kept flashing through Zhang Feng's mind. Suddenly, he remembered that in an exercise in later generations, the Blue Army used fishing boats and carried portable anti-aircraft missiles. As a result, they killed the Red Army's precious early warning aircraft.

The wisdom of the people is endless!At present, no one would come up with such a tactic, and no one would think about it. To be precise, the thinking of these people is still fixed on how to conduct air combat with enemy aircraft. Those early warning aircraft, No one paid attention.

However, Zhang Feng knew that in the future air battles, the pre-warning aircraft would be the ace weapon to defeat the enemy. To thwart the opponent's air attack, destroying the opponent's pre-warning aircraft and electronic warplanes was absolutely the key!

Because these two types of aircraft were refitted from passenger planes and had no self-defense capability, they chose to fly over the Mediterranean Sea far away from the battlefield to monitor from a distance, and the PLO lacked a navy and could not pose a threat to them at all.

However, there are no absolutes in the world!

Although it is an asymmetrical battle, the weak can also come up with their own tricks to defeat the enemy.

The few people on the yacht are all Fatah fighters of the PLO. They use high-powered binoculars to observe the parachutist above their heads to determine the target, but they have not yet launched an attack.

They wait for their opportunity.

Although it is possible to attack now, it is not the right time, because now that the opponent's early warning plane has been killed, they can then take off another plane from the air force base to carry out battlefield surveillance.

It is the most correct choice to attack only when the battle in the Bekaa Valley is about to start.

At this time, in the Air Defense Command in the Bekaa Valley, Major General Manaf understood that he should not misunderstand these Iraqis!

"Commander, act now, there is still time!" Marwan said.

"How?" Manav asked.

"Immediately move the radar vehicle to another position, as long as it is 50 meters away." Marwan said, "How long will it take?"

"Half an hour." A staff officer said.

half an hour?You guys are really slow!

"In 10 minutes, complete the task of transferring the position and re-arrange on the position." Major General Manav said: "Whoever fails to complete the task, don't blame me for being rude!"

Major General Manav recovered at this time, he knew that he must not fall down.

"But General, even if we fold up the radar antenna, it will take 10 minutes." A staff officer said.

"Idiot, you don't know how to stop folding, and move directly at such a short distance." Manav said: "Execute immediately!"

The air defense position immediately became busy.

At this time, the first wave of F-16 attack aircraft group has arrived at the launching position. They receive the information commanded by the early warning aircraft and prepare to attack their own targets: the radar of the Sam-6 air defense missile, as long as it is blinded Radar, the Sam-6 becomes a useless toy.

Suddenly, all the radar radiation on the opponent's position has completely disappeared.

Shut down, can you get rid of the blow?The commander of the formation thought with a sneer that the seekers of the "standard" anti-radiation missiles under their wings had already memorized the positions of those radars!

"The original plan remains unchanged, launch an anti-radiation missile!" The commander shouted.

"Call the crow, request electronic interference, call the crow, request all-round full-band electromagnetic interference." The commander then shouted into the radio.

Who knows, there is no reply.

2 minutes ago.

"Okay, it's time, brothers, it's time for us to act!" said the man in the yacht. At the same time, he had received a message from the headquarters from the radio he was carrying. enemy plane.

"Long live Allah! Long live Palestine!" The men dived out of the cabin, carrying heavy anti-aircraft missiles in their hands.

Walking to the deck, the women in swimsuits stood up one after another.

The big man said to one of the women: "Jenna, thank you, go to the cabin."

The woman named Jenna gave him an infatuated look: "Balav, be careful."

Baraf didn't have the time to think so much. These women are all members of the PLO. He and Jenna are still lovers. However, the situation of their country being ruined and their families dying made them temporarily put their personal feelings on the back burner. On the one hand, although they are not in any danger now, it is not known whether they can escape the crazy revenge of Israel after launching missiles for a while.

"Everyone get ready, spread out, and aim at a target every two people." Baraf said.
