On the night of December 26, 1969, near a radar base in Egypt, 3 Israeli Super Hornet helicopters suddenly appeared! The atmosphere is thrilling!
This Israeli covert operation is code-named "Rooster 53". Israel dispatched a total of 5 action teams with a total of 67 paratroopers. The Egyptian soldiers were unaware of this.
Over the past year, there have been ongoing conflicts between Israel and Egypt. Israel, relying on its air superiority, has continued to bomb Egypt indiscriminately. Egypt has lost its air supremacy and has been beaten passively everywhere, but it has no choice.
To remedy this unfavorable situation, Egypt ordered a large number of anti-aircraft weapon systems from abroad, including the P-12 "keyframe" early warning radar. The radar weighs about 7 tons, and it not only detects long distances, but also can detect low-altitude targets.
With these anti-aircraft weapon systems in place, Israeli warplanes were captured by radar as soon as they entered Egypt. Egypt's ground air defense weapon, the SAM-2 anti-aircraft missile, immediately lifted off, shooting down several Israeli warplanes.
The P-12 "keyframe" early warning radar has posed a serious threat to Israeli combat aircraft. Israel was taken aback and could not have imagined that Egypt was equipped with a mass murder weapon. So bombers were sent, escorted by fighter jets, to bomb the Egyptian radar station.
However, the Egyptian radar was like a clairvoyant, and the Israeli warplanes escaped alive and became targets. Several bombings ended in failure. At this point, the Israeli Air Force has slightly converged.
However, israel could not bear to say this, and they secretly devised an operation code-named "Rooster 53": stealing the Egyptian P-12 radar system!
Thus, there is a scene at the beginning of the article. In order to ensure the success of the operation, Israel also sent warplanes to bomb military targets tens of kilometers outside the Egyptian radar station to confuse the Egyptian army. It worked.
At 9 o'clock that night, three Israeli helicopters landed 6 kilometers from the Egyptian radar station. 67 Israeli soldiers, on foot in Egypt, raided the radar station.
As soon as the two sides met each other, they exchanged fire. In the panic, two Egyptian soldiers were killed and four were taken prisoner. The other Egyptian soldiers scattered in disguise and ran away. The Israeli action team did not injure a single soldier. Egypt's P-12 radar station fell into Israeli hands.
Subsequently, Israel sent 2 CH-53 helicopters to the radar station. Israeli soldiers dismantled the P-12 radar system and loaded it into a helicopter.
Eventually, the Israeli action team succeeded in transporting the Egyptian radar system into Israel. Soon, technical experts reverse-modified the design of the radar system program, providing the Israeli Air Force with better electronic countermeasures.
In addition, Israel has also developed a jammer that can completely disable the "keyframe" radar, which is installed in the electronic warfare pod of the Israeli A-4 "Skyhawk" attack aircraft and the F-4 "Ghost" fighter.
In summary, Israel's "53" operation has become a very famous military operation in history. #I'm going to make micro-headlines##老照片 #
