Chapter 109 GBU12 Laser Guided Bomb

Later on the same day, a C295 transport aircraft belonging to the Algerian Air Force emerged from the rising sun and slowly descended from the Algerian Ain-Osala Air Force Base.

Due to the unideal geographical location of this airport, there used to be some old aircraft parked here that were about to be retired, and rarely received attention from big shots, but today the situation is a little different.

A group of neatly dressed people who were clearly in high positions were standing on the tarmac, looking anxiously at the transport plane that had landed and was taxiing.

Finally, a few minutes later, the C295 parked steadily on the parking lot. As the tail door of the aircraft opened, the first person to step out was the high-ranking Lieutenant General Haibi.

"Prime Minister Majib, I didn't expect you to come to pick up the plane in person." The lieutenant general walked quickly to the leader and saluted: "I have already led people to get all the spare parts from that boss Han.

When we come back, according to the plan, we will first check the release time of these parts, and then install them on the machine for performance testing."

"General, we have towed a MiG-29 in good condition to the hangar in the maintenance area. Engineers and ground crew are also waiting there."

The speaker behind Majib was Colonel Museppe, the commander of Ain Osala Air Force Base. Today was the first time the colonel saw so many big figures standing in front of him at the same time, so he seemed a little nervous when he spoke.

While everyone was talking, several soldiers on the transport plane had already moved several cargo boxes packed by Han Feng from the cabin and loaded them into a light truck next to them.

"Let's go to the hangar and have a look." Majibu adjusted his clothes and tried to look calmer.

As the deputy prime minister in charge of a country's industry, Majib has seen many daring deceivers and deceivers. Of course he knew that Han Feng was trying to make a fool of himself that day, but he still had great expectations for the latter.

Before entering politics, he worked as a senior engineer in a factory in Spain and was considered a professional counterpart. Majib knew very well that those who intended to defraud government subsidies or come up empty-handed generally preferred to talk about things such as top-level design and

Metaphysical and conceptual things such as business philosophy rarely focus on the organization and management of an enterprise, let alone specific technology or engineering practices.

But Han Feng felt to Majib at that time like a fellow engineer who was talking about the plan on the drawings. The other party talked about many specific production processes at that time, and he was well aware of the situation of several Eastern European arsenals that he was planning to acquire.

Even the specific production capacity of a certain Czech military factory and the salary of engineers can only be obtained after detailed investigation and careful consideration.

But even so, he still couldn't make any major decisions just because of someone's words. It happened that Han Feng himself proposed that he could provide new parts to repair the MiG-29, which was just an opportunity to test his quality.

Lucia has long ceased to produce ancient radars like the N019M. If Boss Han is just a second-hand arms dealer, then the parts he takes out can only be old ones. Correspondingly, if he can really

Taking out newly produced components means at least that there is a real military factory behind it, even if it is not too advanced.

For a country like Algeria that can only independently produce light weapons, this is enough.

In the hangar in the maintenance area, the radome of a MiG-29 has been removed, and the nose part is empty. The huge N019M radar is put aside for repair, while engineers on the side are removing a series of components from the cargo box.

Take it out, and then conduct performance testing methodically according to the radar manual.

This process took a long time and was almost completely repetitive, but Prime Minister Majib showed no sign of boredom.

It wasn't until more than an hour later that the engineers stopped what they were doing.

"Prime Minister, Lieutenant General." The leading engineer trotted over and saluted: "We can confirm that these components, if not recently, are new products produced in a very short period of time."

"Is it possible that it was refurbished?" Majibu adjusted his glasses slightly, and his slightly trembling right hand revealed his inner excitement. However, as a rigorous old engineer, he still habitually wanted to eliminate all the worst cases first.

possible.

"No..." the engineer being questioned carefully organized his words: "Mr. Prime Minister, for these basic components, there is actually no difference between refurbishing them and making new ones."

"Okay... very good..." Majib closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then looked at the MiG-29 parked not far away and asked: "So, how long will it take for you to repair this aircraft?"

airplane."

"We have completed the maintenance of other parts in advance, so we only need to repair and install the radar, but it will take a few hours at the fastest, probably...it will be completed by this evening." The engineer in charge seemed a little nervous, after all, not everyone was there.

Have the opportunity to directly answer the Deputy Prime Minister's questions.

Majib obviously also realized that the presence of his group might have a negative impact on the subsequent maintenance work: "Then the rest of the time will be left to you and your colleagues, and we will come back after dinner."

At the same time, Lieutenant Colonel Lunet and Second Lieutenant Alan once again appeared in the air of the CAF driving the Mirage 2000D. What was different from last time was that today they carried two GBU12 laser-guided bombs on the belly pylons.

In fact, due to Alan's good luck in the reconnaissance flight, they received permission for the bombing mission the next day. Unfortunately, the weather in CAF was very bad in the next few days, so it was postponed until today.

"Lieutenant Colonel, do you still remember the first time you participated in actual combat?" Alan, who was sitting in the back, asked on the radio, with uncontrollable excitement in his tone.

As a novice who has just graduated, it is not easy to get a chance to practice combat, even if it is just to drop precision-guided bombs in a risk-free airspace, so Alan talked a lot today.

"Well, I really can't remember. You know I used to fly reconnaissance planes all the time. Most of the time I didn't know what I photographed." Lunet also understood Alan's excitement and nervousness at this time, so although he didn't want to

To answer this question, I still gave a casual answer to support it.

In fact, Lunet certainly remembers his first actual combat, which was in Libya in 2011. He drove a Mirage F1CR and threw two AASM guided bombs at a convoy during a mission, although his superiors repeatedly assured him that it was a transport of military supplies.

convoy, but the lieutenant colonel was very sure that after the bomb exploded, many people without weapons ran out of the surviving vehicles in the convoy.

It's just that he never mentioned this matter to anyone, including his superiors.

"That's really terrible. I think I will never forget today in my life." Alan said, lowering his head and starting to power on the Damorysk pod. After a short period of time, a clear image of the ground appeared on the multi-function display:

"Lieutenant Colonel, I'm ready."

"We have about 3 minutes to enter the bombing site. Please pay attention to search for the target and don't be nervous. If it doesn't succeed, I can fly again." Lunet said to Alan in as relaxed a tone as possible.

"Don't worry, it should be easy to find it with the road as a reference."

Alan used the joystick to control the angle and magnification of the pod, and quickly found the camp he observed that day. He then switched the pod to locked background mode, then selected GUB12 on the display, throwing one round at a time.

An invisible laser shot out from the belly of the Mirage 2000D aircraft at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and landed on an unlucky guy on the ground who still knew nothing about it.

"Target found, ready to attack." Alan put his index finger on the trigger, just waiting to receive the permission command.

"Permission granted to attack."

The two GBU12 bombs separated from their pylons about 15 seconds apart, and then quickly captured the laser point on the ground.

About two minutes later, Alan saw the first explosion on the screen. GBU12's 227-kilogram warhead destroyed several surrounding houses. As for the man on the ground just now, he had long since disappeared.

At the same time, he carefully adjusted the laser aiming point so that the second bomb would explode slightly farther away to maximize the damage area.

"They all hit the target, Lieutenant Colonel. I estimate that I destroyed at least hundreds of enemies." Alan excitedly reported to Lunet in front: "Unfortunately, the power of GBU12 is still a bit weak. It would be great if there was a chance to use GBU24 bombs.

.”

Although the camp on the ground was severely damaged, Alan could still see the people escaping from inside through the pod, which made him feel somewhat regretful.

"It's pretty good. Believe me, this won't be the last bombing mission. We just need to do what we should do and prepare to return."

The Mirage 2000D rolled half a circle in the air, then turned 180° to prepare to return to the N'Djamena base.

Due to poor communication, Hui Sheng did not receive news that his camp was attacked until the afternoon of that day. More than half of the approximately 200 people left in the camp were killed or injured, and three armored vehicles and a lot of ammunition were also lost.

It is not difficult to judge from the photos of the scene that were transmitted that this was an air raid.

Echo quickly dialed Han Feng's phone number. After all, the CAF's air power was in the hands of the latter. "Han, my previous camp suffered a sudden air attack. It should have been done by the Gallic Air Force."

"Did they end immediately?" Han Feng just handed over the radar parts to Algeria this morning. He will definitely not be able to produce aircraft to cause trouble to the Gallic Air Force now.

"It should be, otherwise I can't think of anyone who would go to a place like CAF and drop two bombs."

"Then our plan is temporarily postponed. You can lead the troops to disperse and hide for a period of time, and let the reconnaissance team that has been dispersed keep a low profile. My MiG-29 is in the final stage of maintenance and will take a few days."
