Although the F-4 Phantom fighter is not as advanced as the F-16 Fighting Falcon, it is definitely the dominant fighter in West Africa.

Moreover, the climate in most parts of West Africa is warm and humid, so there is no need to worry about the adaptation of the fighter. As long as the maintenance is done well, the non-combat casualties will not be as serious as in Iraq.

Karag Ritz quickly checked the instruments.

The voice of the deputy in the rear cabin also came from the helmet: "Inspection completed."

The cockpit layout of the F-4 fighter is unique, with a front and rear tandem double-seat configuration, which allows the pilot and the weapon system officer to operate independently, improving combat efficiency.

After confirming the situation in the rear cabin, Karag Ritz started the plane, released the brake, gently pushed the throttle with his left hand, and controlled the plane to slide to the runway.

After aligning with the runway, Karag Ritz checked all the instruments again, and after confirming the situation in the rear cabin with his deputy, he quietly waited for the tower's instructions.

"Pah, pah, pah," three orange-red flares emitted beautiful light in the sky.

Two powerful J79-GE-17 turbojet engines ejected lavender flames. The afterburner was already open, and the powerful thrust of 79.6*2 kilonewtons made this ugly "Ghost" start to accelerate on the runway.

270

(PS: The author 270 personally thinks that the "Ghost" is extremely ugly, and the "Panda" is still more beautiful.)

The strong back push pressed Karag Riz tightly on the seat, and the runway around him began to draw lines in his sight. On the head-up display, the speed had reached more than 300 kilometers per hour.

The speed was enough, and Karag Riz pulled the joystick back with his right hand.

The next moment, all the scenery left his sight, and the fighter took off from the ground and pierced the sky.

Two gray auxiliary fuel tanks are hung under the belly and wings.

Two 908 kg bombs are mounted under the wings, and two Sidewinder missiles are mounted on the wingtips.

Under the nose, an M61 "Vulcan" multi-barrel machine gun is hung.

This mission is to bomb a rebel base in neighboring Liberia. For Karage Ritz, this is a simple task.

Poor countries in West Africa have no air defense awareness at all, except Guinea.

…………

Macarila Doe and his army are stationed in the Zorzor area.

Zorzor is a town in northern Liberia, 80 kilometers south of Voinjaman, with a population of about 5,000.

Yes, you read that right, the population is 5,000.

There is a gold placer mining center here. This town is a gathering place for gold miners. There are also some tribes grazing nearby.

Makarila Doe has an army of 500 people. Although the number is not large, they are all "elite".

Well, at least in Liberia, this army is elite.

"Tomorrow we can occupy Saraye and Baquile,In a week, we will be able to reach Monrovia."

A thin middle-aged black man was shouting in front of the map. It was Makarila Doe.

After giving his men a boost, Makarila Doe turned around and asked his adjutant: "When will the others arrive?"

"Tonight, but they have no weapons."

"It doesn't matter. When we take over Baquila tomorrow, there are enough weapons in the military base there to arm them. By then, I will recruit 10,000 people to fight for me. ”

…………

After taking off, Karag Ritz pushed the joystick to the left.

At the same time, he pushed the rudder hard with his feet, and the fly-by-wire control system received moderate force feedback.

The fuselage rotated smoothly in the sky and flew to the left.

If it is an old F4 Phantom fighter, it is a hydraulic control system. At low altitude, the air density is high, and the relative resistance is large. You need to press more on the stick and use more force on your hands. At high altitude, the air is thin, so you need to press less and the force on your hands is correspondingly smaller.

And this new Phantom is equipped with advanced electronic instruments, It has been changed to fly-by-wire control.

Specifically, there is a sensor inside the joystick, which sends commands to the aircraft through the computer.

With this control method, the pilot only needs to push the joystick, whether it is high or low altitude.

Because more complex operations are completed by the computer, the difficulty of use is greatly reduced.

The west wind is strong, and the distance of more than 300 kilometers is reached in an instant. The plane passed the border between Guinea and Liberia.

In theory, after entering the airspace over Liberia, in order to prevent being detected by the opponent's radar, the aircraft should reduce its altitude to below 80 meters.

| =|

(PS: Because the earth is round, the surface of the earth is curved downward as it goes further away, and it is an arc that extends all the way down. However, the electromagnetic waves emitted by radar propagate in a straight line, so the path of the electromagnetic waves is a tangent to the earth, and the surface of the earth below the tangent is the area that the radar cannot observe, and nothing can be seen. This part forms a radar blind spot. The emergence of early warning aircraft is precisely to solve this problem. If the radar is moved into the sky, there will be no blind spots.)

However, Liberia does not have such a thing as air defense radar, let alone expensive early warning aircraft, so Karage ·Ritz still controlled the plane to fly at high altitude.

The place to be bombed was a small town called Zorzor.

Liberia's population was mostly concentrated in coastal areas, and inland areas were mostly nomadic tribes. There were only towns with concentrated populations near several important mines.

Macarilla Doe and his soldiers were stationed at the foot of a hill three kilometers away from the town.

Liberia has abundant forests and arable land.

After entering Liberia, Karag Ritz saw continuous forests along the way.

During this high-speed flight, long-termSeeing only one color is like flying in a desert or at sea level, which can easily cause the pilot to have hallucinations. If the pilot is not careful, the plane will be destroyed and the pilot will die.

The only way to overcome this is to train rigorously again and again.

Macarila Doe is an elite pilot in the Iraqi Air Force and has participated in several air battles and bombing operations against Kovit and Iran.

One auxiliary fuel tank is empty.

Macarila Doe dropped it when passing through a forest.

The plane suddenly felt lighter.

He looked at the electronic clock on the dashboard.

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon, but the sun was still hanging high above the African continent, reluctant to set.

However, Macarila Doe felt that Africa was still more comfortable than his hometown in Iraq. At least there was a lot of rain here, which would cool down the earth and he didn't have to stay in the "oven" all day.
