Chapter 631: Red Bird Three Volley

readx;

Vehicles with 88 off-road chassis are now more common in Iraq, in the mountains, this kind of vehicles with a high traffic rate, can adapt to those unhardened cement roads, and in desert areas, can go back and forth in the sand dunes without worrying about falling into sand pits. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info≦≧

The only drawback is that this kind of vehicle is too fuel-intensive, and the 88-driven vehicle consumes several times more fuel than a simple rear-wheel drive vehicle, but compared to a tracked vehicle, it is fuel-efficient.

With its good adaptability, this vehicle occupies half of the Iraqi transport market.

Now, in the Syrian desert of Anbar Province in western Iraq, such a vehicle, which is mainly composed of 88 off-road heavy trucks, is traveling on the desert with no end in sight, and the heavy trucks are covered with a layer of camouflage very similar to the desert, and it is difficult to find the target from the high sky, with reconnaissance aircraft or reconnaissance satellites.

The huge wheels, which left a rut in the desert, but then, obscured by the yellow sand blowing from behind, regained its calm, as if no convoy had ever passed, and the characteristic whistle-like roar of the supercharger engine had disappeared into the sand dunes in the distance. ≦≧

Warich sat on a launch vehicle modified from the chassis of a Mercedes-Benz N80 heavy truck, staring into the distance with blazing eyes.

With the development of Iraq's missile program, Qusay felt that it was necessary to create a branch of the armed forces of the Soviet Union, Iraq's own Strategic Missile Forces, although at present, Iraq only has two missiles, the Red Bird III and the TP23. It can be regarded as this level in front of you. However, this is only the beginning, the Red Bird III cruise missile and the TP23 ballistic missile, both missiles have a range of less than a thousand kilometers, however, Iraq will continue to improve on the basis of the two missiles, especially, after a while, the Dongfeng 3 missile with a range of 3,000 kilometers will be introduced, and when the time comes. Combined with Iraq's own nuclear warheads, Iraq will finally have a killer weapon.

So, this kind of troops that are specifically responsible for strategic missiles. It needed to be formed, and Qusai personally supervised this matter and organized this unit, and the name of the unit was only called Unit Three, and Qusay could not think of a resounding name that attracted the attention of certain forces abroad.

As for the commander of the troops, it was necessary to choose loyal subordinates, and Qusay, among his men, chose Warikh. ≦≧ Warich has been loyal to Qusay since the first day he came to this world, and he has always been loyal, very capable, and a person with a relatively high level of education.

So Qusay transferred Warih out of the Sidewinder special forces and became the commander of Unit 3, which now has Iraqi Redbird III missiles and some TP23 missiles. (The other part is used to attach to the Field Division, which is used to perform the same role as the Scud.) Suppress the enemy at the front line while hiding the presence of your own troops. At the same time, due to the special nature of the troops, part of the technicians of missile factories and graduates of the University of Baghdad were absorbed. The missile force is a high-tech force. A large number of knowledgeable and literate personnel are needed to come in and act as the backbone.

At the same time, since this force will later undertake the launch of Iraq's nuclear forces. Therefore, this force must be loyal, and all those who join this force are strictly vetted, and all of them are members of the Baath Party.

This missile attack was the first major combat mission since the establishment of Unit 3, so Warich attached great importance to it, especially since the target of their attack was Israel's nuclear facilities. ≦≧

The digital map that the cruise missiles provided by the Soviet Union needed to be used, Joseph's team has completed the conversion of map data on the missile attack route and loaded the missiles, and these missiles have already installed all the data of the target in advance, and assigned the task of each missile, all they need to do is to arrive at the predetermined launch position and launch the missiles out of the convoy of a total of 35 vehicles, of which there are 22 missile launchers in quadruple, a total of 86 missiles, and 10 logistics support maintenance vehicles. All kinds of faults can be eliminated at any time, two fuel supply vehicles to provide supplies for the fleet at any time, and a communication vehicle with confidential contact with superiors.

Warih led Unit 3 through the desert and finally arrived at the predetermined launch site: a predetermined launch position about five kilometers from the border with Jordan.

"Note that the launch vehicle is spaced at an interval of 100 meters, and then confirm its latitude and longitude bearing, fine-tune the launch elements, and prepare for launch." Warich shouted over the radio.

When a land-based missile is launched, it needs to ignite the engine, and at the same time there is a booster, and there will be flames coming out, which will affect its own surroundings, so there should be a certain distance between the two launch vehicles. ≦≧

The accuracy of cruise missiles can reach several meters, and if you want to hit accurately, it is important to accurately determine your own position before launching.

However, even if there is some error during the launch, because during the flight, they can accurately fly to the preset orbit according to the comparison of the digital map, they do this, just to increase the accuracy as much as possible and reduce the error.

The convoy stopped, and at a predetermined spacing, the convoy slowly unfolded.

A fighter jumped out of the launch vehicle, kicked on the guardrail at the rear, climbed onto the roof of the vehicle, folded the camouflage net covering it.

Suddenly, the huge square barrel under the camouflage net was revealed, and in each square barrel, there was a Red Bird No. 3 missile ready to be launched, and several personnel in charge of operation jumped out of the front cab and climbed into the control room more than two meters wide behind, started the instrument, and made preparations before and after launch. ≦≧

The lights on the instrument panel are shining in turn, and the last detection of the four Red Bird III missiles behind is underway, while the digital map of the flight path and midway is locked in the latter one, ready for the launch after the launch.

"Erection missiles." The next command came.

Now, with the roar of the engine, the hydraulic oil is pressed into the cylinder, and two large hydraulic rods slowly raise the quadruple missile launcher.

The missile is placed in parallel to the back, if it is launched directly, then, as soon as the missile comes out of the launch canister, it will hit the equipment compartment in front, however, this cruise missile is originally flying at an ultra-low altitude, so there is no need to completely erect the launch canister like launching a ballistic missile, as long as the inclination angle reaches 48 degrees, the outlet of the launch canister can be left from the safe distance from the top of the equipment cabin in front.

Dozens of cars are raising missile launchers together, and this kind of sight, in the entire Middle East, and even the whole world, is probably the first time that "report, Unit 3, after completing the pre-launch preparations, can be launched at any time" through the secret channel on the communication vehicle, an airwave, flew back to Baghdad.

Iraq's Ministry of Defense has entered a tense atmosphere at this moment, because Iraq's attack on Israel's nuclear program, Babylon is angry at the beginning of the whole plan of the crucial step, important to start "What is the situation in our exercise area?" Qusay asked.

"According to our pre-arrangement, Prince Sultan has announced a change in the plan of the exercise, the target of the attack is set on the border with Israel in Jordan, and now, our air force warplanes have flown across the Jordanian border, the ground forces have advanced north at full speed, and the Jordanian army is now waiting for our troops on the border line, ready to indicate the target in front." What is the reaction of the Israeli side?"

"The main fighter planes of the Israeli Air Force have taken off and are patrolling the skies over southern Israel, and at the same time, an AWACS aircraft has taken off and is monitoring our exercise aircraft, ready to respond to our possible invasion of the opponent's airspace."

Reversing Israeli planes and diverting the attention of the Israeli Air Force would facilitate the covert flight of its own cruise missiles.

"At the same time, there is a part of Israel's fighters, which took off in the direction of the Mediterranean coast." Adnan then added.

To the West? Qusay was a little puzzled.

"Soviet naval aviation took off a squadron of bombers, said Tu-22, and they flew in the direction of the Mediterranean, and now, Israel is on tight defense, afraid of a Soviet attack."

The USSR took off fighters? Flew in the direction of the Mediterranean? Qusay's heart was overjoyed and he said: "Immediately order the missile forces to launch the Red Bird III missile"

The Soviet Union really did itself a favor at a critical moment, and with their help to distract the Israelis, the success of this attack would be greater.

Having received an order, the missile forces created by Iraq, finally began their own thunderous blow.

"Attention, enter the countdown to launch, launch missiles in turn," Warich ordered calmly.

After receiving the order, the officers and soldiers in the launch vehicle began the post-program, the on-board power supply was turned on, the 80286 chip on the missile had been started, and it began to prepare to enter the working state at full speed, and the various equipment was started, and the launch entered an irreversible process.

Then, the rocket booster at the tail of the missile began to ignite, and a huge flame began to emerge from the tail, and the end cover of the front end was opened.

After flying out, Redbird 3 climbed 1200 meters with the help of the power of the booster, the booster burned and separated from the missile body, the small turbofan engine began to start, the missile continued to climb to a ballistic high point of about 3000 meters, the engine worked normally, and the navigation equipment began to enter a tense working state, and then, the Redbird 3 began to descend to the cruising altitude and turned to the cruising state to fly.
