On the same day, an improved Scud-to-Surface tactical ballistic missile, with a long tail flame, was launched from central Iraq and soon passed through the atmosphere and entered a flight trajectory to attack Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Sixteen seconds later, a US missile early warning satellite operating in a geostationary orbit at an altitude of more than 300 kilometers gave an emergency alarm, and an infrared telescope with a high-sensitivity infrared scanner began to track the "Scud" missile's flames, and at the same time tracked and filmed with a high-resolution visible-light television camera with a telescope, and transmitted the missile's flight trajectory, flight speed, direction, ballistic inclination, and position to the ground station in real time.

After all ground preparations were completed, the command center ordered the launch, and the Patriot missile was lifted into the air at an inclination angle of 38 degrees, and the flight trajectory was changed according to the preset program. At the same time, the ground-based phased array radar continued to track the "Patriot" in flight, and issued timely instructions to correct the flight trajectory according to the actual flight situation.

When the "Patriot" enters the final stage of flight, the semi-active "homing head" on its bomb begins to work, and the ballistic parameters of the "Scud" captured by it are fed back to the ground control center in real time. Based on the received data on the relative angular deviation, the accusation center immediately fed back the correction instructions to the "Patriot" after accurate calculations. The "Patriot" approached the Scuds according to the precisely calculated interceptor trajectory, and both died together.

When the news came, the whole world fell silent and deeply shocked by the superb scientific and technological capabilities of the United States. Even Baghdad and Tehran urgently communicated with Moscow, and Serov replied, "The Patriot air defense interception system is useful, but it definitely does not have such an exaggerated effect." Moreover, the cost of American products far exceeds that of Soviet missiles, and it is the United States that suffers if it fights. ”

The Patriot's interception success rate in the Gulf War is said to be 10 percent, and this is still claimed by the United States. In fact, only 4 percent of the total, and later generations said that the Patriots were able to intercept the Scud with a 90 percent success rate, but it was purely the Americans of the 21 st century who were bragging about themselves, and really thought that people had forgotten about the Gulf War for a long time.

"When the time comes, let them see what a real stealth fighter is!" Serov, who had put down his binoculars, muttered to himself, and above his head, several fighter jets, which were somewhat different from the usual fighter jets, disappeared into the sky with blue tail flames. For a month, the United States bombed indiscriminately in protests from the Soviet Union and overwhelmingly achieved air superiority over Iraq and Iran.

It seems to be a repeat of the Gulf War in which the United States unilaterally attacked Iraq, but there are still differences in the details, and Iraq and Iran are not to the point where they cannot fight back. Four or five hundred Scud missiles also hit a large number of targets in Saudi Arabia.

At the very beginning, the United States claimed that the Patriot air defense system had a perfect record against the Scuds. But as the missile attack continued, the real interception success rate was exposed, because the casualty figures of the Scud missile attack began to be reported by the domestic media in the United States, of course, this is still far below the psychological capacity of the United States. It is basically impossible to make the American people oppose the war withdrawal by this number.

"Comrade Ufimochev, the Americans have implemented your theory, I don't know what you, the party, think in your heart." Serov patted Ufimochev on the shoulder and said nonchalantly, "I will charge a little interest for this kind of theft." ”

"I didn't expect that the theories I published in my early years would be carried forward in the hands of our enemies, and what would I do to my motherland? Or is it more disadvantageous? I didn't expect it to be borrowed by the enemy. Ufimochev shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Blame our country for not paying attention to intellectual property, but what about the Americans? When we borrow from them, we mention intellectual property, and when they cite us, they don't mention anything. Serov paused and said, "In any case, I will not accuse the United States with such flimsy reasons, we have a better one now, do I?" ”

According to Ufimochev's theory, the radar cross-sectional area of the conductor can be accurately approximated, and the aircraft can be designed to be stealthy, regardless of the size or weight of the aircraft. Since Soviet officials did not have any awareness of the concept and importance of stealth at the time, after official review, the theory was deemed to have no military value, so no secrecy was taken at all, and the paper was published. And during the same period, in order to collect and understand the progress made by the USSR in radar technology, the US Air Force collected and translated a large number of Russian documents.

But Serov knew about it, he didn't know about the F117 made by the Americans, and he also knew that the first-generation stealth fighter, in addition to being invisible, as long as it was found to have zero survivability. Funds began to be allocated to support the continued research of the Uffimachev, and the Uffimoch Institute was established by using the power to find aerodynamics and materials specialists.

Today, there is still no stealth fighter for the 21st century, but progress has been made in the anti-radar livery to counter the F117 fighter, a half-finished product that has no ability to defend itself, like an adult beating a child.

Recently, Serov and General Bagramian have been in frequent correspondence, and in a month's time, the Soviet Union can basically see clearly how the United States is fighting now, and it is indeed very different from the Vietnam War period, and the science and technology are more advanced. The U.S. military's ability to use the leading generation of technology to play fancy slinging has also become more proficient.

Serov repeatedly confirmed to General Baghrumian whether he would be able to withstand the blows of the US Air Force if he was replaced by the Soviet Red Army. General Baglamyan, who was in Baku, had no problem at all in replying, and with the current US air force in the Gulf region, the Soviet tank army could completely withstand it.

Strictly speaking, the Apache armed helicopter group in the hands of the US military is much more advanced than the Hind armed helicopter in the hands of the Soviet Union, the Hind armed helicopter has been in service for more than 15 years, and the Apache armed helicopter has only been produced for three years.

"The Apache of the 227th Army Aviation Brigade requires special attention. You have 1,200 helicopters in your hands, including 740 Hinds, which are 2.5 times the size of the Apache, and you must not make your opponent feel better. Serov, who was holding the phone, said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, Yura, as long as the Air Force is in place, I will never let those Apache leave the Middle East alive." "The only thing to worry about is how we can get the U.S. aircraft carrier battle group to retreat and reach a compromise," Admiral Bagramian assured. ”

"When the time comes, let's kill the Ark Royal first to test the water, to prove that we have the ability to send them to the bottom of the sea, and to see the reaction, the Americans must take into account that the Soviet Union has 40,000 nuclear bombs, which can not only blow up American cities, but also bomb villages with more than 1,000 people!" Serov looked at his watch with his phone and said, "I estimate that the air raids will end in the next few days, and if the United States does not conduct a ground war, this matter will be over." If the ground war starts ......"

"The Soviet Red Army could not avoid the expectations of the state, even if it was to die." General Bagramyan's voice was unequivocal.

For a long time, both of them were silent, listening to each other's breathing from the microphone, Serov said with difficulty, "Big brother, soldiers should not be abandoned, when it is really time to shoulder responsibility, it is more appropriate for me, a secret police with a bad reputation." ”

"Has all the equipment been tested? Fight with the strongest possible condition. Senior General Bagramian instructed that US aircraft, tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and even individual weapons are equipped with infrared night vision devices, laser night vision devices, infrared thermal imaging equipment, and other night vision equipment, so that US weapons and equipment can exert the same combat effectiveness at night as during the day, so that the US military can continue to fight day and night, strike at Iraq more effectively, and push forward the process of campaign and combat faster. Of course, the Soviet Union used the T54 to touch the egg with the stone, and this time none of the subordinate units in the Southern Theater used the T54, and it was also reequipped.

In addition to the spy satellites that the Soviet Union urgently launched over the Persian Gulf, there is another thing that has contributed to it, that is, the giant long-range radar in the Red Star operation plan, which can be regarded as a landmark, is located in the col of the municipality of Baku, directly facing the south and feeding back the situation in the entire Persian Gulf to the Soviet Union.

After 33 days of the air raids, Serov once again talked about the war, and his tone had become very solemn: "If the purpose is punishment, the current intensity of the war is already enough, and I must ask President Bush to seriously consider the issue of a cease-fire, stop continuing to expand the war, and return to negotiations to resolve the Gulf crisis." Expanding the war is not a good option, it is a very dangerous move to play with fire. ”

The Soviet Union's peace mediation has been going on for a month, and in the course of a month, the attitude of the Soviet Union has changed from the initial ambiguity to the present time. The tone also began to harden, and even began to mention the treaties of friendship and mutual assistance with the governments of Iraq and Iran, of course, in order to prevent the start of the ground war.

It is impossible for an air raid to bring down a country, and Iraq will not withdraw its troops on its own initiative, although it has suffered a lot of damage in the bombing, as long as it still occupies Kuwait, it will be a great victory. However, it is clear that the United States cannot be deflated by two blows.

"The United States must guarantee the sovereign integrity of Kuwait and Bahrain and nothing will change." The attitude of the White House has not changed.

Serov, who had just received the good news about the establishment of the People's Power of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, was immediately diluted with joy, and spy satellites showed that the coalition forces stationed in Iraq had already begun preparations for a ground war, and ordered, "The troops of the Turkestan Military District and the North Caucasus Military District can leave their places and assemble in Transcaucasus!" ”
