Volume Four, Empire of Arms, Chapter 33, Ghost Broken Halberd

From the middle of the night, after receiving the news that US President Frederick would make a TV speech to the American people at Camp David at CET C, until it was dawn, Zhao Rundong, Pang Xinglong and Pan Yunsheng did not receive any major war-related news from the Military Intelligence Bureau and other intelligence agencies.

"Maybe the battle last night was very fierce." Pan Yunsheng yawned and stretched.

"If there is new news, call me immediately." Zhao Rundong was also very tired.

Pan Yunsheng nodded, and picked up a cigarette before getting up. "No problem, I'll go back and stare. I'll contact you if there is any news."

"Xiao Pang, you go back and rest too..."

Before Zhao Rundong could finish his words, the phone on the desk rang.

Pan Yunsheng hesitated for a moment and went over and picked up the microphone. The phone calls he called to the study of the Yuan Dynasty last night were almost always for Pan Yunsheng, and he had never asked Zhao Rundong.

"Yes, what am I...? I understand... OK, organize it as soon as possible and send someone to deliver it."

Hearing Pan Yunsheng's words, Pang Xinglong, who had just gotten up and was about to say goodbye, sat down again.

Zhao Rundong took two sips of tea and looked at Pan Yunsheng.

"I just received the news. The US military bombed Iran's strategic targets on a large scale. Iran suffered heavy losses. Including the Presidential Palace, the residence of the Supreme Spiritual Leader, and the residence of many important members in the Mainland where the Revolutionary Guard Commander lived were bombed. Fortunately, all important leaders have entered the shelter."

Zhao Rundong frowned slightly. "What is the military losses in Iran?"

"Tehran's air defense system was almost completely destroyed. But there is good news."

Hearing this, Zhao Rundong and Pang Xinglong were energetic at the same time.

Pan Yunsheng deliberately paused for a while before saying with a smile: "At least one b-2 shot down."

"What!?" Pang Xinglong almost jumped up from the chair.

"The news has been confirmed. The shot down pilot just landed near an Iranian army from Kum to Tehran. He surrendered to the Iranian army without resisting. B landed in the desert northwest of Lake Namak, but before the Iranian army arrived, the US military threw at the site at least a few tons of incendiary bombs." Pan Yunsheng smiled bitterly, "The operatives of the Military Intelligence Agency have rushed over, but don't expect anything to be worth it."

"No matter what, this is not a trivial matter."

"Two billion dollars are gone."

Hearing the words of the two, Pan Yunsheng laughed. "Losing an airplane is a small matter, and losing two billion US dollars is also a small matter. I think the greatest significance of this result is that the US military dare not use the B-fighter easily again. Without the B-2, the US military's strategic strike capabilities will be greatly affected, and the subsequent battles will be even more difficult to fight."

Zhao Rundong nodded slightly, and Pang Xinglong also agreed.

For the US military, the importance of b is definitely above the F-22.

Even without F, relying on powerful system combat capabilities and advanced information technology, the US military can still use f-35, f-15f/a-18e/f and other fighter jets to defeat the Iranian Air Force and seize air supremacy. Without b-2, the US military will lose its strategic strike capability.

When using jdam or "small diameter bomb", the b strike capability is f-3524 times!

In other words, the number of targets that can be destroyed by one b-2 being deployed once is 24 times that of f-35!

B has an invisibility performance of f-35 times, and the chance of being discovered is less than one percent of that of f-35. When hitting a high-value strategic target with a tightly protected area, b has unparalleled capabilities. According to the US military's own calculation results, b's ability to hit a strategic target is 00 times that of a tactical aircraft such as f-35.

Since the B-2 was officially in service, the US military has been using it to carry out strategic strike missions.

Because of their high confidence in B-war capabilities and changes in combat methods and combat thinking after the Cold War, the United States has not developed new strategic bombers after B.

In other words, in the US military, there is no other model that can replace b-2.

If you use b-1b and b-52h to perform strategic strike tasks, you can only use air-fired cruise missiles.

When dealing with many reinforcement strategic targets, especially underground targets, the power of air-launched cruise missiles is obviously insufficient and cannot play a role at all. They must use drilling ammunition with a range of not long enough. Before Iran's ground defense capabilities are completely destroyed, the US military cannot risk allowing b-1b or b to carry drilling bombs to perform volleyball missions.

No matter what the reason the b-2 was shot down, the US military will definitely "ground all b-2s".

Under this circumstance, the US military will lose the main means to destroy Iran's strategic command capabilities, and it can even be said to be the only means.

This result will definitely have a significant impact on the US-Iran war just started.

After pondering for a while, Zhao Rundong said to Pan Yunsheng: "Find out the reason for the b-2 shooting down as soon as possible. If some of the b-2 wreckage can be obtained, you must get it back at all costs."

"Don't worry, the relevant work has been arranged long ago."

"Director Pan, what do you mean is that you expected the b-2 to be shot down before?" Pang Xinglong was a little unbelievable.

Pan Yunsheng smiled and said, "I'll go back and re-deploy. I'll contact you immediately after you have new news."

"Okay, we'll wait for your news."

After getting up and saying goodbye, Pan Yunsheng hurriedly left the head of state.

There is no definite statement about the reason why the b-2 shot down until the end of the war.

According to the United States

The b-2 was shot down by Iran's air defense missiles. However, it crashed in Iran after a mechanical failure and was unable to return to the base. For this reason, the US military also brought out a lot of evidence. For example, the b-2u did not perform sufficient maintenance in accordance with relevant regulations before performing the second mission, and the ground crew did not complete all tests in accordance with regulations when inspecting the engine and operating system. The "crashed" b-2 had been flying for 6,732 hours before. At the beginning, it was found that there was a problem with the main load frame of the left wing on the wing, and the base maintenance personnel did not inform them in time.

The US military's statement has some truths, but it is not worthy of trust.

Judging from the on-site photos released by Iran, the b-2 did not disintegrate before the crash, and there was no wing breakage. The two American pilots captured by Iran also told the end of the war that when the fighter was carrying out the mission, the fighter did not experience mechanical failure. Before being "shooted down", they all felt violent shocks in the fuselage, which was obviously the "performance" of the missile hitting the fighter.

The problem is that Iran’s “evidence” is also lacking in persuasion.

According to the news released by Iran, the one that shot down the B-2 was a "Red Flag 911" air defense missile. At that time, the long-range air defense missile troops located in the southern part of Tehran launched a total of three "Red Flag 911" missiles, two of which were deceived by the B-2's jamming system, and the last one hit the target.

Contrary to the results announced by Iran, after the 2nd US pilots returned to the United States after the war, they claimed that before the "crash", neither the B radar warning aircraft nor the missile warning aircraft issued an alarm, and the self-defense interference system was activated, let alone avoid the first two missiles.

Later, the US military also produced relatively strong evidence.

The two F-22a fighters accompanied by the B-2 operation returned successfully. Before the B-2 "crashed", the pilots of the F-fighter only saw a ball of fireballs appearing on the B-2 wing, and did not see the b missiles shooting at the B-2 missile, and the radar warning aircraft on the fighter did not issue an alarm.

However, many people do not believe in the "evidence" of the US military, because in actual combat, the escort fighter will not be so close to B.

Did the bottom of the b was shot down or was it crashed due to a fault?

To prove that the b-2 missile is shot down, the easiest way is to prove that Iranian ground radar can detect b. If the radar cannot detect b-2, why should the missile shoot down b?

Does Iran have a radar that can detect b-2?

This question is easy to answer. Not to mention Iran, none of the radars that countries around the world had equipped could effectively detect b-2.

Based on this, it is generally believed that Iran has lost “lucky luck”.

According to external speculation, the target of the B-2 bombing was the air defense command center located in the southern part of Tehran. When it was shot down, it had entered the bombing channel, opened the bomb bay, and was ready to drop a laser-guided bomb. At this time, a nearby radar discovered the b-2 and launched the missile at the fastest speed. The one who shot down the b-2 was not the "Red Arrow 91" air defense missile, but the "Red Arrow 11" medium-range air defense missile, because when the b-2 set the bombing entry route, it would definitely avoid the long-range air defense missiles.

, thus being forced to enter the strike range of the mobile medium and short-range air defense missiles. In addition, the "Red Arrow 11" has dual-mode guidance capabilities, and it is very likely that the attack on the "Red Arrow 11" uses infrared passive search instead of radar actively seeking the ground. If the B's missile warning aircraft fails, or the missile enters directly below (the detection dead corner of the B-2 missile warning aircraft), the B-2u will not react before being hit by the missile. As for the report of the F pilot, it is very likely that it is perjury "made up" by the US military to save face.

In order to prove that the US military "forged" evidence, some "good things" also made deductions.

According to the US military's tactics, after b-2 is fired, the guidance work is carried out by the accompanying f-22a. In this case, the flight altitude of f-22 is above 5,500 meters, while the entry altitude of b-2 is likely to be below 200 meters.

In addition, in order to avoid mutual interference, the horizontal distance between f-22 and b-2 was at least 20 kilometers. It was night time, and the pilots of f-22 could not see the fireballs emerging from the b-2 wings.

I'm afraid the US military knows the truth best.

Shortly after the war, the US military withdrew the remaining 18b to extend the lifespan of all in-service b-1bs, so that they can serve until 2036, and began to develop hypersonic air-launched cruise missiles that can attack underground facilities, as well as b-x to replace b-11bs.

The b-x is not only a stealth bomber, but also the first hypersonic stealth bomber!

It can be seen that the US military has a major doubt on the battlefield survivability of the subsonic stealth bomber, which mainly focuses on low-altitude penetration, otherwise it would not have launched the B-XX plan that cost tens of billions. There is only one reason why the US military loses confidence in the B-2: an air defense radar that can detect and lock B!

Subsequently, when the US Air Force and the Navy jointly developed the Atfa (future combat attack aircraft), it not only put forward higher stealth requirements, but also required the use of active stealth equipment, which also proved that during the US-Iran war, Iran was equipped with air defense radars that could detect stealth fighters.

Obviously, the b-2 "crashed" but was "shooted down"!

damn it**
