"With such a missile, it may not be effective to hit the opponent's helicopter. What is the range?Radar?" Qasim's expectant face became ugly.

What can small individual anti-aircraft missiles do for those fighters?

It's not that they are not equipped, but they have fired hundreds of shots, which are of no use at all.

Individual anti-aircraft missiles from the USSR showed themselves badly in this war. The Soviets boasted that there was nothing that their anti-aircraft missiles could not hit, and as a result, so many anti-aircraft missiles did not shoot down a few Iranian fighters.

The low number of Iranian warplanes is due to their lack of repair supplies.

Now with the warplanes that the Soviets sold to them, began to pose a greater threat to the Iraqi side.

When the Iranians launched a counteroffensive, relieved the siege of Khorramshahr, and counterattacked into Iraqi territory, it was all because of the lack of anti-aircraft missiles from the Soviet Union. The opponent's F-14 Tomcat fighters drove away the Iraqi MiG-23s, the iron-clad MiG-25s, and the old-fashioned and backward Su-22 fighters with a vote of F-4 and F-5 fighters, and began to bombard ground artillery positions and armored clusters......

Karam was the third front-line commander after the removal of the first commander of the southern front in the Iran-Iraq war.

Air defense is their top priority.

The number of Super Flags and Mirage F.1s was not introduced much, and a large number of them were deployed at airfields around the capital to defend the capital Baghdad.

The front south of Basra, there are not many of them.

The enemy army invaded on a large scale, and it was necessary to request the air force support from the north, and they left before they could rush over.

The positions of the SAM-2 anti-aircraft missiles are all arranged around the capital, and who would have thought that the Iranian Air Force after Khomeini's purge of the Pahlavi dynasty would still be so fierce?

Kalam applied for anti-aircraft weapons for more than a year, and the president provided him with a lot of anti-aircraft equipment, but it was useless.

Now Ibrahim is actually fooling him with such missiles.

It is completely inappropriate to take the lives of front-line soldiers seriously.

"General, this missile, the launcher is a small radar in front of it, and it has its own infrared guidance device inside...... "Harry Moissan, facing the angry General Qasim, explained with some embarrassment.

Qasim applied to the president for medium- and long-range anti-aircraft missiles, and as soon as the radar detected Iranian fighters and came into range, they would be beaten down.

Only in this way can oil extraction be resumed in the southern oil fields.

"Such a missile will run away before it has been launched!" Qasim sneered, "We don't need such missiles here." ”

"General, we're just looking for an opportunity here to test it in battle. If the effect is good, it will be purchased on a large scale. Ibrahim reminded.

Now it is only two samples, which are not equipped with combat units at all.

Just two, how to equip it?

When Qasim heard this, he couldn't refute it, so he could only snort angrily and asked people to arrange for Ibrahim and his party.

Ibrahim was reluctant to stay behind and demanded to go to the front line, to the area of key strategic targets where Iranian fighters might appear.

The performance of the avant-garde anti-aircraft missile is excellent, but the range is too close, and the maximum oblique firing distance is only a few kilometers, and it will be ready for launch almost when the enemy's aircraft can be seen with the naked eye.

Qasim's persuasion was useless, so he could only ask one of his major staff officers to personally send Ibrahim and his party to the front line where Iranian warplanes appeared every day.

"Write down that instruction carefully, don't be unfamiliar with how to operate it when the time comes!" Ibrahim said to his men at a small logistics transfer station more than 10 kilometers from the battlefield.

These people went to China with him, and everyone understood what the consequences of the uselessness of these two missiles would be.

Ibrahim is also a relative of the president.

Therefore, the group began to carefully follow the handwritten instructions provided by the Chinese side to understand the structure and operation steps of the entire individual air defense missile system.

Abadan, the front command of the Southern Front of Iran.

After recovering Khorramshahr and relieving the siege of Abbataan, the commander, General Al Tyder, pushed his forward command to Abadan, close to the border.

Great Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini said that to make Saddam's bastard pay for his aggression, Iraq must be included in Iran's territorial sovereignty.

So, from then on, they were attacking like crazy.

At one point, it invaded Iraqi territory and even almost surrounded Basra, Iraq's second largest city, but was eventually driven back.

The two sides confronted each other across the boundary river.

"General, there is no movement from the Iraqis. Once again, the intelligence staff reported the information back to Commander Al Teddell. "But there's a lot of movement on their front lines. ”

"What's the movement?" said Al Tedel.

Every day, a few shots were fired across the river, and the days were too unbearable.

Khomeini was unhappy with their delay in making progress.

"The Iraqis are adding heavy equipment to this side. ”

"What about their warplanes?" the general asked with a frown.

"Every day our air force conducts reconnaissance and has not found the presence of their fighters, and if our air force sorts out in large numbers, their fighter groups will take off and land......" the staff officer replied.

"It can't go on like this, they know that our air force is now increasingly short of fighters, and the fighters supplied to us by the Soviet Union are on the northern front. Al Tedel's brow furrowed even tighter.

The southern front was the most important, with superior forces on both sides on this side.

However, the contest of fighters and others was on the northern front.

"There are only nine F-14s in our Air Force that can take off for duty. ”

"What? Didn't there be 11 more yesterday?"

"The spare parts are broken and cannot be replaced...... There were two fighters with minor faults, and the spare parts on them were removed to ensure the combat duty of the other fighters. The staff officer lowered his voice.

"Call Maherschahr's side and ask them to start tomorrow, send three F-14s from each echelon, and lead other fighters to give me a hard blow! After thinking about it for a while, General Al Teddell was ruthless. "Order the troops to prepare, and tomorrow morning at half past five in the morning to begin the shelling, find out their artillery positions to blow up, and see if there is a chance to break through their lines......

The Iraqis are clearly draining their fighter jets.

The lack of spare parts and maintenance made the most powerful F-14 fighter unable to take off due to the loss of its own parts and failures.

Without F-14 fighters, Iraq's horde of fighter jets will be a nightmare for the Iranian army.

The order of the commander of the front line was quickly handed down to the Iranian Air Force, which was stationed at the Makhshahr airfield.

The entire base will be busy, and it will take off and land more frequently and carry out more missions than before.

No one wants to see more and more fighter planes unable to fly.

This is the most advanced heavy fighter in the entire Middle East region.

"Woo~"

The next morning, just after dawn, all the soldiers on the Iraqi side of the line were awakened by the terrible sound of air raid sirens.

The Iraqi soldiers, who were hiding in the trenches and various positions, looked up at the sky outside, flipped over, and went back to sleep.

This happens almost every day.

The Iranians use fewer and fewer bombs, and they do not waste them on the soldiers on the defensive line.

"Xiu'er~"

With the first terrible sound of shells breaking through the air, the Iraqi soldiers, who were about to continue sleeping, suddenly shuddered, quickly turned over, grabbed their guns and ran to the nearby anti-artillery fortifications.

Damn the Iranians, they don't let people sleep well.

"What the hell are the Iranians doing? Their shells have been replenished?" Qasim jumped on receiving the news from the front.

His troops on the front line are being bombarded by Iranian artillery units!

The Iranians, who were already short of ammunition, were able to organize an effective offensive today.

"Call me air support, the air defense forces are ready, their warplanes are coming in!" Soon, Qasim understood.

The Iranians are estimated to be the last madness.

The number of their fighters is getting smaller and smaller, and they used to be able to take off hundreds of sorties every day, but now they send three or five fighters a day to walk around, drop a few bombs, and go back.

"General, our logistics supply base, just transported a batch of ammunition last night......" the intelligence staff officer reminded the general. "This time the Iranians dispatched 14 warplanes. ”

"Aren't there air defenses over there?" Kasim was stunned.

At the logistical supply transit stations on the border, there are only a small number of anti-aircraft guns.

Iran has not been able to organize large-scale aerial bombardment, which makes the Iraqi side not pay so much attention to air defense, and when it encounters the opponent's plane, it will fire a few shots, and the other side will find a place to drop the bomb and go back.

"There are no more shells, and supplies won't arrive until 10 a.m. The words of the intelligence staff officer made Qasim's whole body freeze.

Although the supply transfer station does not have much ammunition in stock, it was just transported last night, and if it is blown up, a long section of the defense line will not be able to be replenished with sufficient ammunition for three days, and once it is discovered by the Iranians, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Mobilize anti-aircraft shells from the side positions immediately! I hope they won't be discovered. ”

"The anti-aircraft guns next to them also did not have enough ammunition...... Two hundred rounds of ...... were mobilized last night, "Two hundred rounds of anti-aircraft shells, which are simply not enough.

For a moment, General Qasim didn't know what to do.

"Be prepared for battle, don't let them come down! Lower the rate of fire, don't let them find out that we are short of ammunition, and immediately transfer the ammunition!" At the logistics transfer station, which is more than 10 miles away from the front line, the commander gave an order as soon as he received the report from the radar troops.

"Their fighters are coming?" Ibrahim became a little excited when he heard the air raid siren.

But now in this sky, there is no shadow of the other party at all.

"Colonel, the Iranians are crazy, 14 warplanes were sent today, I don't know how many ground attack planes there are, it's dangerous here, Major, please get out of here!" a lieutenant appeared in front of Colonel Ibrahim, who was a little agitated.
