Chapter 596: Death Descends
The first update
There are reasons why the Turkish top brass did not let the air force provide cover, first of all, they were worried that the attack aircraft or helicopters fighting in the operation would be intercepted by the enemy's radar, so that the attack would be tantamount to being exposed to the enemy's nose. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info And this single approach of letting the armored forces attack at this time makes the Turkish armored forces a mobile target. Although it is said that the armored regiment was equipped with a certain number of Stinger missiles and M163 Vulcan anti-aircraft guns to protect the advance of the armored forces.
When a series of tongues of fire rose up like a long snake and rushed high into the air, it was the beginning of the end of the Turkish armored forces. The first wave of induced attacks was only to find out the positions of the Vulcan anti-aircraft guns and the deployment of anti-aircraft missiles. The FAB100 aerial bombs dropped by the Su-34 bomber landed on the body of the armored regiment, and although the tongues of anti-aircraft artillery fire rushing into the clouds could be seen between the canopies, this did not pose any threat to the Su-34. Instead, they exposed their air defense positions in front of the 82 battalion airborne reconnaissance troops, and soon they figured out all the deployments of the M163 Vulcan anti-aircraft guns, and quickly fed back the intelligence to the command in the rear.
"The location of the enemy's thirteen M163 anti-aircraft guns has been investigated, and your goal is to prioritize the destruction of these things that could pose a threat to our fighters, understand?" The commander of the Russian army shouted loudly at the pilot in the walkie-talkie.
"Understood, sir." "Yes, sir."
Because there were too many formations dispatched, the air force commander received intermittent replies, but everyone promised like a commander that they would never let Turkish tanks step into Syria again. Everyone's mood is not heavy, according to the intelligence, the Turkish armored forces have weak air defense, and once they destroy their anti-aircraft guns, they are equivalent to fighting a blind man.
"Comrades, when I come back, I invite everyone to drink and celebrate."
After putting down the walkie-talkie, the commander glanced at the group photo of the pilots hanging on the wall. In a deep voice, he said to himself, "Comrades, you must all come back alive." ”
Of course, these anti-aircraft guns will also become the first targets of the Su-25 Frogfoot and Ka-52 helicopter gunships. Because some of the tanks had already left the canyon area, all the tanks parked on the plain became the targets of bomber attacks, and the first wave of attack was like a threat, just to wipe out the troops at the front of the canyon.
No M60 tank has the courage to see the outside world again after seeing the giant fireballs and deafening bombardments. For them, saving their lives and strength is the first point. However, the armored forces had already fallen into a chaotic situation, and the narrow valleys plagued the troops to retreat, and the Turkish armored forces, which had not experienced such an ambush attack, were suddenly in disarray, not to mention that the advancing troops were often the most vulnerable.
The Turkish commander is obviously a person who has not experienced this kind of actual combat scene, although Turkey has fought against the Greek Air Force, but he has really not seen this kind of air-to-ground crushing strike without any suspense. At this time, the major in command of the armored forces could no longer make judgments based on experience, and could only withdraw the tanks and armored vehicles backwards, the sooner the better.
The Su-25 attack aircraft and the Ka-52 helicopter's 30-mm cannon and the 9K121 Tornado anti-tank missile are the secret weapons of counter-aircraft fire and armored forces. Before the M163 Vulcan anti-aircraft gun had time to react, it was already targeted by the Su-25 attack aircraft.
The early M163 Vulcan anti-aircraft guns did not have an auto-tracking radar, so when they detected the approach of the Su-25 attack aircraft, it was too late to react. Although the M163 jetted tongue of fire and the formation of a cross-fire network made it impossible for the Su-25 attack aircraft to get close, after aiming at the anti-aircraft gun, the 9K121 Whirlwind anti-tank missile launched could still fire all the artillery fire on the air defense position.
The fireball and scattered sparks chilled the heart of the commander of the armored unit, and after losing his anti-aircraft firepower, he knew that he was now doomed. It took about five minutes for air support to arrive, but the attack had already wiped out the anti-aircraft fire of the armored forces.
Without the cover of anti-aircraft fire, the next tank became a target for mermaids. The 30-mm cannon kept spitting tongues of fire, harvesting the tanks on the ground. The old M60 tanks were completely invulnerable to Tornado anti-tank missiles and 30mm guns, and even the occasional Stinger missile fired from a corner was easily dodged with a thermal decoy bomb.
An armored regiment was slaughtered at its worst, in a narrow section of the valley, where soldiers could only fire at fighters with on-board machine guns, but it was of little use. The Su-25 attack aircraft's protective armor close to the perverted level made the vehicle-mounted machine gun completely powerless.
Smoke filled the air, and there were blown up M60 tanks and infantry fighting vehicles everywhere. Wrapped in fireballs, the soldiers jumped out of their chariots and wailed and rolled until they fell to the ground and could no longer speak.
After the first wave of air strikes, the Panzer Regiment was no longer able to fight back, and only some of the moving tanks were left to retreat. Thinking that the war was over, the commander hurriedly ordered the soldiers to evacuate backwards, and after a few minutes the support of the aviation unit arrived, they could evacuate to a safe area under the cover of fighter jets.
"Damn, why are there so many helicopter gunships and attack aircraft in the Syrian Air Force? When did they buy from the USSR! The rice buckets of the Turkish intelligence services should be shot when they go back! ”
No one dared to answer the major's complaints, and the emotion of defeat hung over them and overwhelmed them. At this time, the only hope of these soldiers was to evacuate the place as soon as possible and return to Turkish territory to regroup.
However, Turkey far underestimated the Soviet Union's coordinated combat offensive.
The first wave of Su-34s was only to lure the Turkish armored forces to expose anti-aircraft fire, and the last batch of Su-34 bombers was specially prepared for the end. What's more, the Soviet Union also specially prepared a surprise for the Turkish army, thermobaric bombs.
Four Su-500 bombers, carrying ODAB-34PM fuel-air bombs, decided to send them on their last ride.
Yanayev was indeed the most faithful of his promises, and he said that if none of the Turkish troops wanted to return alive, they would not be allowed to return alive.
This is the final scene of death falling from heaven.
The Su-34, carrying thermobaric bombs, had already reached the sky above the evacuated troops, and then the thermobaric bombs on the bomb-carrying racks were released and tilted down. In the next quarter of an hour, there really would be no one alive to return from this burning hell. (To be continued.) )
