Chapter 587: Feng Shui Rotates
When it comes to ballistic missiles, the United States also has them! Moreover, the American ballistic missiles are far more advanced than these backward Scud missiles in terms of performance! And in the historical Gulf War, the Americans did not use their own ballistic missiles, and that was because the Americans' Tomahawk cruise missiles were mature enough. The Tomahawk missile in history www.biquge.info was launched by General Dynamics in 70, developed in 72, first tested in 76, and equipped with troops in 83, and now, this missile has not yet been perfected, so the Americans used their ballistic missiles!
Anyway, the range is enough, so it is enough to fight directly from the Apennine Peninsula, this is simply a blow like a madness!
With the front-for-tat, the likelihood of the Americans using nuclear warheads is low, however, other warheads are also lethal, especially since the accuracy of the Americans' ballistic missiles is quite high!
"Immediately alert our bases in the north and be prepared for incoming missiles, especially the H-3 base!" Andrei said.
Unconsciously, Andrei's voice among the current Iraqi high-level is getting heavier and heavier, because their president Uday completely trusts Andrei, and if Iraq wants to win the current war, it is absolutely inseparable from the command of the Soviet Union! What's more, in the army of Iraq, there are now a large number of Soviet advisers!
H-3 airbase! This is an important air base in northern Iraq, and Iraq's new and improved MiG-23 fighters have nearly forty of them at this base!
After receiving the news, the H-3 air base quickly took action, and the fighters on standby on the runway took off urgently, while the other fighters were led to the hangar, and the damage management personnel were in place, waiting for the Americans' sharp blow.
This blow came very quickly, and just after the last stranded fighter took off from the runway, the Americans' Panxin missiles had already flown over the base! At an altitude of several hundred meters, this warhead exploded violently!
With the explosion, countless small warheads, scattered in all directions, almost scattered all over the base!
There were explosions everywhere, and the officers and soldiers of the base, hiding in the anti-aircraft shelters, turned pale.
This is a sub-munition that everyone does not want to see! The entire base, after this blow, is considered a waste! Excluding those small warheads that have not exploded, it will take at least half a month for the sappers to be busy! Although the hangar did not suffer a devastating blow, now, those planes are confined to the hangar and cannot take off!
Five missiles, all accurately hit the target! One of them hit a power plant in the north, and in the explosion, the power supply to the entire north was completely disrupted.
That night, all of Iraq was groaning.
Although there are S-200 missiles, the most powerful missiles are placed around Baghdad to protect Baghdad's airspace, and they cannot protect every part of Iraq's territory.
Moreover, the goal of the Americans is now very clear, they are concentrating on destroying Iraq's air bases, and now that the US air force has been disabled, the Iraqi air force will not survive! Since it is impossible to regain air supremacy, then simply pull the Iraqi Air Force to the same level as the United States!
On this night, Iraq's main air bases were devastated, the runways of the airfields were completely destroyed, a large number of warplanes were bombed, and the anti-aircraft firepower deployed in the surrounding areas was of no use at all!
These anti-aircraft firepower will be very effective against ordinary fighters, but when they encounter stealth aircraft, they will be out of line! The radar could not find the target at all, and the anti-aircraft artillery only fired aimlessly into the air after discovering that it had been bombed.
It was a speechless night, and when the sky was again lit up, the Iraqi top brass found that they had less than 50 warplanes at their disposal.
Because the airport was bombed, some fighters had to make a forced landing on the highway, and even some planes made an emergency landing in the desert.
In the underground headquarters, the air is filled with the smell of choking smoke, and the final result of last night is still being counted, but it is definitely not optimistic.
"Obviously, we have not been able to effectively protect our airspace, our latest news, the formation of three aircraft carriers of the Americans, has converged in the Mediterranean, and now it is obviously making the final preparations before the attack, Egypt and Jordan have opened their airspace under pressure from the United States, so the carrier-based aircraft of the American aircraft carrier formation will attack us at any time." Air Force Commander Abid said: "When the time comes, more than 200 warplanes will pounce on us, and our Iraq will become an undefended city." ”
Although we still have a large number of ground air defense forces, passive air defense is always an unwise choice in modern warfare, and without air power, we cannot achieve victory.
Crippled the US Air Force, the Americans and the Navy! And to try to do the same and then attack the aircraft carrier group of the American Navy with Scud missiles is simply a fool's dream.
No matter how tenacious the Iraqi Air Force is, under the pressure of the US Naval Aviation, the Iraqi Air Force will be ruthlessly wiped out! Those fighters that landed were not fully maintained, hung bombs, refueled, and took off to death!
Then, the Americans will use air strikes to bomb all targets in Iraq!
Iraq has always regarded itself as the fourth military power in the world, and in the entire Middle East, it has even regarded itself as a military boss.
Some people's eyes have already appeared dead ashes. Feng Shui takes turns, it turns too fast, the day before yesterday just defeated the US Air Force, and last night, our own Air Force lost its combat effectiveness!
Looking at these listless guys, Andre couldn't help but despise them in his heart, he was not arrogant in victory, he was not discouraged in defeat, these guys, with this expression now, is this going to admit defeat? No wonder the Iraqi Air Force has been doing nothing!
"Ladies and gentlemen, the situation has changed, but we are not without hope of winning." Andrei said: "The first thing the Air Force needs to do is to maintain all the remaining fighters, and no matter how hard it takes, it must be ready to take off and meet the first round of strikes by the US Navy." ”
Take off as much as you can, and if you can fight, you have to fight!
"Then our forces are still too small, and if the Americans only come with one aircraft carrier group, maybe we can still cope with it." Abid said.
"Then we can find foreign help." Andrei's words were not loud, but they made everyone's hearts vibrate. (To be continued.) )
