Chapter 1237: Israel's Armaments
The Israeli Army has the most powerful armament system in the Middle East, which is more than the number of armaments of the Iraq-Syria Federation and even the current Middle East coalition forces combined.
Among them, there are more than 4,000 main battle tanks, more than 10,000 armored vehicles and armored transport vehicles of various kinds, of which more than 6,000 are armored vehicles used for direct combat, and there are 4,000 or 5,000 armored vehicle transporters of various half-tracks.
In terms of artillery, Israel also has the most powerful artillery unit in the Middle East, including more than 500 towed artillery pieces alone, more than 1,000 self-propelled artillery pieces, and as many as 3 to 400 rocket launchers of various calibers.
There are as many as five or six thousand 60 mortars used in infantry operations, and one or two thousand mortars of various calibers in total, and some of these mortars are self-propelled mortars, mounted on armored assault vehicles.
Bazookas, that's even more, there is only one type of bazooka in the Israeli army, the 82-mm B-300 bazooka.
There are also hundreds of recoilless guns, and the remaining various individual bazookas, all in the thousands.
And until the end of the war, there are still a large number of Israeli anti-aircraft guns hidden.
Israel has more than 1,000 antiaircraft guns of various 20-millimeter calibers, more than 100 sets of the Xiaoxie Tree integrated missile and artillery air defense system, and nearly 2,000 sets of individual low-altitude missiles, including the Stinger, Red Eye, and Xiaoxie Tree.
There are also quite a few anti-tank missiles, ranging from American-style pottery and dragon to refractory boxes, mapats, and gill anti-tank missiles, adding up to more than 2,000.
With such a huge armament, even when the main Iron Dome system on the ground is all destroyed, Israel's ground forces still have a strong battlefield air defense capability.
Especially for helicopter units in offensive operations, the level of threat on the battlefield is extremely high.
And Israel's air forces have not been completely destroyed, of course, it does not mean that there are still fighter jets capable of taking off and fighting in Israel, but they belong to the helicopter gunships and other helicopter types equipped by the Israeli army.
Over the past few years, Israel has been strengthening the combat effectiveness of its ground forces, especially greatly enhancing its ability to carry out rapid assaults on the battlefield.
Therefore, the number of helicopters in Israel has been greatly increased in the past few years.
Israel has helicopter gunships of all kinds, from Hughes to Cobra to Super Cobra, Apache and Longbow Apache, adding up to nearly five hundred.
Five years ago, there were only forty-eight Longbow Apaches, and in the past few years, Israel has bought more than 100 Longbow Apache from the United States.
These most powerful combat helicopters in service with the U.S. Army were all delivered before the war.
But at the time of the full-scale bombing of Israeli territory, the Red Guard Regiment was sure that it had not destroyed many Israeli helicopters.
A large number of helicopters were all hidden before the war, and even directly hidden in these air defense projects.
In fact, it is not surprising at all that Israel is well aware that in the face of the strong air superiority of the Iraq-Syrian Federation, air supremacy is difficult to guarantee in its own hands.
In addition, Israel has no depth of defense, and once it loses air supremacy, every piece of the country will be shrouded in enemy air strikes.
Therefore, how to retain the combat effectiveness that we have now has become the key.
Civil air defense engineering is the best choice for the Israeli army, of course, not all troops can enter the civil air defense engineering and wait for the order to counterattack.
Therefore, a considerable part of the army was put on the surface, preparing and attacking the enemy, fighting in advance, bravely defeating the enemy's spirit, and preparing for the subsequent counteroffensive.
Israel's powerful armaments, and a lot of them, are hidden in these air defense projects.
Save the most powerful combat capabilities and wait for the arrival of the counteroffensive.
These are all issues that Cai Ruichen has to consider, and he cannot let the wishful thinking of the Israeli side succeed.
If it is really in the middle or late stage of the war, Israel's elite troops, with the will to retaliate and counterattack, suddenly launch a counteroffensive in various cities, it will be a huge disaster for the Red Guard Corps, and may even cause immeasurable losses, which will lead to the defeat of the war.
After all, it only occupies air superiority, and the Israeli army has geographical advantages and people, and in terms of relative advantages and disadvantages, the Israeli side is also completely capable of counterattacking.
Although the current fighting situation seems to be going very well, judging from the combined analysis of various situations on the battlefield, the main force of the Israeli ground forces did not directly participate in the battle.
A large number of advanced weapons and equipment have not been revealed.
This has almost become a heart problem for Cai Ruichen, and if this problem is not solved, for him, it is like a man's back.
No one knows when Israel's elite troops on the ground will launch a surprise attack.
Moreover, Israel also has many strong fighting arms, including four elite paratrooper brigades, which have never shown their faces.
Cai Ruichen had to wonder which secret airport in Israel where these Israeli paratroopers were ready to set off for a parachute sneak attack.
This is entirely possible, after all, the Air Force is not omnipotent, as long as the other side plans well, it is completely able to avoid surveillance.
For example, civil airliners, or other aircraft, may become a means of transport for paratroopers.
In the command center of the base, there are also non-stop discussions on the follow-up issues in Israel, and the most discussed topic is this air defense project.
More than 1,000 kilometers of civil air defense projects, tens of thousands of hidden exits of all kinds, and there is a possibility of an exit for human air defense projects in every locality.
Even if one finds the exit of one part of it and allows the troops to enter the battle, in this well-connected place, even if it enters a group army, it will not be able to control every place inside.
But no matter what, the war is going to continue, not to mention that the Red Guard Corps is not really helpless at all.
"Commander, this is the latest battle report at the moment, the battle in the old city is coming to an end, so far, no Israeli reinforcements have been found from the civil air defense project."
In the headquarters of the First Army, Cai Ruichen listened to Elleyesel's report, nodded and said: "Still can't be careless, the old city is the only commanding height in Jerusalem, and controlling this commanding height, it can overlook most of the city's battlefields, and it can also be used in multiple ways, both offensive and defensive, this place, it is impossible for the Israeli side to give up easily." ”
"We understand that at present, the geological inspection unit has begun to conduct geological surveys in the old city, and it can already be determined that there are very complex civil air defense projects under the old city, but it is still impossible to determine how many troops are hidden inside."
