The first update

On the very first day of the delivery of the first batch of MiG-29 and Su-27 of the Soviet Air Force to Damascus, the US military suddenly launched a fighter jet strike on a town in the southern border area of Hasakah province, and the attack did not cause many casualties, but shocked Syrian President Bashar. He believed that this provocative bombing campaign was directed at the military base of the 121st Regiment in the south.

Amid strong protests and condemnations from the Syrian side, Washington issued an insincere press apology, saying that the cross-border bombing in Syria was a minor misunderstanding, because CIA intelligence showed that senior officers close to Saddam Hussein were fleeing across the border in the direction of Syria, and intelligence showed that he was hiding in the town where the airstrikes were taking place.

In the face of U.S. provocations, even if Assad could swallow his anger, the Soviet Union would not tolerate it. The fact that the unbreakable military alliance between the two countries, which had just been highlighted, was attacked by US fighter jets in the blink of an eye, was tantamount to a slap in the face of Moscow, so Yanayev decided to do something in response to the US airstrike.

Since the US military dared to carry out cross-border bombing, the Soviet air base at the Assad airfield in northwestern Syria also dared to respond to the provocation with a bombing situation. However, Yanayev first called Assad, and the two sides held a communication agreement, saying that the Soviet Union was willing to help Syria and give a small response to the American provocation.

"Bombing the U.S.-backed opposition forces in Iraq? But will this lead the US military to further escalate the conflict? After all, the United States may use this as a pretext to start a war against Syria. Assad didn't expect Yanayev's proposal to be so bold, but the airstrikes on the U.S.-backed opposition not only highlight their own anti-American stance, but also avoid declaring war on the United States, and at the same time stimulate Americans' nerves, in the case of Syria. It is indeed the right choice.

"The bombing of the U.S.-backed opposition is the best manifestation of Iraq, the most subtle protest in Syria, and it doesn't stir the nerves of the Americans. We have both dealt a blow to the arrogance of our allies and avoided a direct declaration of war with the United States. Let them know one thing, the allies of the USSR are definitely not an existence that the United States can bully. ”

"As for waging a war against Syria, I don't think the United States is so confused. Before Iraq has fully digested it. The United States will not rashly launch a new war, so even if we also respond with air strikes, as long as it is not the US military that bombs, the other side will choose to pretend to be deaf and dumb. ”

Just as the opposition began to consolidate the southern urban areas of Iraq and Saddam's government forces were withdrawing, Soviet pilots flew Su-27 fighter jets on a thrilling bombing campaign that targeted Fallujah, a Sunni protest camp in Anbar province, as a base for a month-long battle with government forces. As Saddam's government forces no longer had time to take control of the area, the protest camps slowly took control of most of the provinces as Saddam's forces gradually withdrew, and began to grow further with the support of U.S. military assistance.

For Yanayev, this is indeed an excellent target for an air strike, and the opposition-ridden Fallujah is naturally the first target of the Syrian Air Force.

In the province of Kabal, which does not have any anti-aircraft firepower, the Su-27 fighter jets that cross the border are the absolute air supremacy in this area, and the opposition will not have such a thing as SAM missiles against the Su-27 fighters, if conditions allow. The Su-27 could even move the Soviet Tu-95 domestic to deliver a carpet bombing strike in Anbar province.

The Su-27, hidden high in the air, began to approach Fallujah. The city of Qing-Zhen Temple, which had not been baptized by many major wars, would be hit by the communist war.

The Su-27 fighter jets have reached the predetermined bombing area, and below is the area where the Sunni protest battalion militia is entrenched, and armed pickup trucks can be seen patrolling the streets, and the militia is consolidating the fortifications in the area to prevent Saddam's troops from returning one day.

After the last sporadic fighting the previous week, Saddam's government forces had disappeared from the region. It also officially declared that Fallujah had transformed from a city of order into a chaotic killing area, with rifts and estrangements between various opposition factions after they expelled their common enemies.

The militia in the protest camp began to encroach on the weak factional forces, and with the support of American funds and arms, they continued to recruit new members, and the number of protest camps has grown from more than 1,000 to 6,700 at the beginning. It became the largest armed force in Anbar province. Of course, it also became the first military target of the Su-27.

The incendiary bombs produced by the All-Russian Defense Export Corporation were carefully selected by the Soviet Union as a gift for the Qing-Shen Temple in Fallujah, and these large-scale anti-personnel bombs were specially designed to deal with living forces and buildings. Turn this steaming city into a burning hell and burn all the opposition forces to the wrath of the Soviet Union.

To this end, Yanayev dispatched all the Suikho fighters that arrived at the Assad airfield in one go, and the bomb load of four Su-27s was enough to turn the militia of the protest battalion into burning corpses.

While these extreme believers were further persecuting the secular regime, the Soviet Grim Reaper was ready to send these people to their real pigs.

"The designated area has been reached and bomb dropping can be carried out."

The Soviet fighter pilots, as they had done in previous training periods, dropped all their bombs on designated areas, which according to intelligence were the stronghold of the opposition, and after taking control of the urban area of Fallujah, the militia used the southern part of the city as a base to further spread their influence into the surrounding towns.

The not-so-dense incendiary bombs were dropped towards the area locked on the monitor, and the moment they reached the ground, the orange fireball emitted by the explosion of the incendiary bomb enveloped the entire southern area, and the fireball rose and was followed by billowing smoke, and those religious armed personnel who had not had time to evacuate were directly burned into charred corpses by the fireball.

Armed pickup trucks patrolling the streets have turned into burning scrap metal, and the streets after the air raids are filled with the pungent smell of gasoline and charred corpses that are already burning with flames.

"Well done, comrades. Burn these goddamn green animals. ”

Heart-rending wails resounded throughout Fallujah, and before the armed men on the ground could understand what was going on, the Su-27 had disappeared over the province of Cabal. This was undoubtedly the most significant blow to the Sunni militia since its inception, and it did not even suffer such losses in the fight against government forces, and the Soviet pilots slowed the advance of the armed militia with a single air strike.

The airstrike undoubtedly boosted the confidence of the Syrian Air Force, and it was the first time since the battle in the Bekaa Valley that the Syrian Air Force showed breathtaking combat qualities, as if overnight, the Syrian Air Force had gone from a sick cat to a lion that all opponents looked at.

Syria claimed that this was a response to the invasion of fighter jets on the Syrian border, and Assad said that with the help of the Soviet Union, they would build a strong air force to deal with any enemy attack and attack, and they would expel all enemies who tried to overthrow the Assad regime from Syrian soil!

As soon as these words came out, the United States was the first to be frightened. They don't believe Syria has such terrible combat prowess, and how these pilots, who spend less than half the time a week on flight training, could carry out a long-distance attack. The most likely is that the air raid was simply orchestrated by the Soviet Union.

And what Assad said to the United States is also what the Soviet Union wants to express. The United States was warned not to try to hit Damascus, because as long as the Soviet Union remained alive, the United States would never be able to get its hands on Syria. (To be continued.) )
