Chapter 505 Iranian People's Liberation Army Air Force

Fuel-air bomb! This is a weapon with a much higher effect than a flamethrower. It uses the overpressure generated by the explosion of highly combustible substances such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, methylacetylene, etc. in the air to achieve large-scale killing and destruction. When this weapon is detonated, it will form a fuel aerosol cloud in the air, and when it explodes, it will produce an extremely powerful air wave. During the explosion, a large amount of oxygen will be consumed and local oxygen deficiency will be caused, causing suffocation. It is also called "air-air bomb", "air wave bomb" and "suffocation bomb".

This type of explosion is similar to the explosion in a flour mill, with a large area of ​​damage, and can effectively strike enemies hiding in buildings. Twenty years ago, the United States and the Soviet Union developed this type of weapon, and later, the United States used this type of powerful weapon in Vietnam and the Soviet Union used it in Afghanistan.

After years of development, the Soviet Union's incendiary air bomb has developed to the third generation, which is the thermobaric bomb of later generations. The principle of this ammunition is to use high temperature and high pressure to create a killing effect, but ordinary fuel-air bombs use liquid fuel mist to explode, while thermobaric bombs use solid explosive clouds to explode; so there is no essential difference between the two. Thermobaric bombs are an advanced form of fuel-air bombs, collectively referred to as fuel-air bombs.

At the beginning, if the United States could use this weapon in the process of conquering Tehran, it would greatly reduce casualties and increase their chances of capturing Tehran. However, after weighing the pros and cons, the Americans did not dare to use this powerful weapon because the effect of this weapon is similar to that of nuclear weapons. Some experts even call it a sub-nuclear weapon! Using this weapon in a fanatical country like Iran will not only fail to achieve their strategic goals, but may also make the United States the target of Iranian retaliation. If there are terrorist attacks everywhere in the United States, the United States will not be able to bear it.

However, now it is the Soviet Union's turn to solve these problems. The Soviets are certainly not afraid, because this is a war in Iran, and both sides are Iranians! No matter what method is used, it is to reduce casualties and end the war as soon as possible.

"If we use this kind of weapon, what will happen to the civilians in the city?" Roxana asked after a long while. As the chairman of the People's Party and a possible future president of Iran, Roxana's horizons have been broadened and she has more issues to consider.

"Civilians? Are there any civilians in the city?" Korchagin replied with a sneer, "Now, those who remain in the city are all fanatical religious elements. Will these people honestly accept our leadership? If you don't believe it, you can go in with weapons and see if those civilians will pick up weapons and shoot at you? Everyone, you have to think clearly, this is a war time!"

Tehran is not an ordinary city, it is the capital of Iran, and now, those who still stay in the capital are absolutely fanatical religious elements! These people can only be eliminated, not assimilated!

Biting her lip, Roxana agreed with Korchagin's opinion: "Okay, Comrade Korchagin, we accept this action plan and use all the forces we can to completely eliminate all the armed personnel in Tehran."

Ashgabat Air Base, Turkmenistan.

This is the air force base closest to Iran. In the past, it was just a front-line field base with only a few aircraft stationed there. After all, after taking off, it only takes one minute to fly south to cross the border. In order to avoid misunderstandings, the Soviet Union did not treat this air force base as a key base.

But now it is different. With the Soviet Union's war against Iran, this front-line base has become the most important base of the Turkestan Military District! At first, MiG-23 and MiG-29 fighters were stationed here. After these fighters have been transferred to the front-line airport in eastern Iran, the second batch of stationed aircraft has arrived here.

And these fleets look completely different from previous aircraft.

Twin engines and twin vertical tails, beautiful appearance, the variable swept wings in the wing box are so dazzling in the sun. Coming out of the hangar is one of the most powerful fighters of this era, the F-14 Tomcat!

These fighter jets were originally transferred to the Soviet Union by the HMN government of Iran, in the hope that the Soviet Union would rely on its own technology to improve the fighter jets' onboard equipment and make the fighter jets more powerful. Without the source of parts from the United States, these fighter jets would almost become scrap.

The Soviet Union lived up to expectations and repaired these aircraft with its advanced technology. However, these aircraft were not handed over to the HMN government, but were detained by them. Until now, they have been handed over to the so-called Iranian People’s Government!

This batch of advanced Tomcat fighters formed the Iranian People's Liberation Army's air force! There were a total of 22 Tomcat fighters, which was not a large number, and because there were not enough pilots, only 16 could take off. However, there was no doubt that the Iranian People's Liberation Army's air force had a very high starting point since its formation!

Abolfazl Hushiyar defected from Isfahan and was about to land in Pakistan, but by mistake, he ended up landing on Soviet territory. Abolfazl was put under strict surveillance. After half a year of ideological work, Abolfazl finally accepted the reality, joined the Iranian People's Liberation Army, and became the commander of the Air Force!

At the same time, through other channels, a total of more than 30 flight personnel came to Turkmenistan, and the People's Liberation Army Air Force was established.

After all, when HMN came to power, because of their distrust of the old dynasty's army, the air force pilots were also persecuted. These people had studied in the United States, which the HMN government considered to be suspected of colluding with the West. In later history, it was also because Iraq's attack was too fierce that they had no choice but to release these experienced pilots, allowing them to redeem themselves and fight the Iraqis.

At first, the Iraqis were the invaders, and it was their duty to fight against the Iraqi air force. But now, this is a civil war! It is their unshirkable responsibility to overthrow the evil HMN regime!

Restore the country as it was before, and let this extreme religious rule go to hell! They believe in Islam, but first of all they are normal people, they want to live, they want freedom and democracy!

Four bombs have been hoisted onto the belly rack of the Tomcat fighter. Their mission this time is to fly to Tehran and bomb the extremist armed forces there!
