Babylonian Empire

Just as Iraq's top leaders were confidently planning an attack on Tehran, fierce battles were going on on the other side of the globe.

The American paratroopers were surprised to find that after they jumped out of the cabin, what greeted them was death.

Because the firepower on the ground was not completely cleared, the paratroopers who jumped off earlier suffered heavy casualties.

The next few transport planes immediately raised their altitude and flew quickly over the airport.

At the same time, the ground attack aircraft just now flew here again. They regretted their losses and expressed their indignation at the hidden enemies on the ground.

However, since there are already their own personnel on the ground at this time, if they think about using firepower as before, it will cause too many accidental injuries. Therefore, they have to carefully identify the target. In the air, they must slow down their speed .

"Prepare to carry missiles on your shoulders, let the Yankees taste our strength." Vlamir said.

Following his order, the armed men who had already prepared to carry the Sam missiles began to aim.

Get rid of the big guys first!They have accumulated a lot of hatred for the AC-130E armed transport planes that spit out flames to both sides. In the first round of attacks just now, most of the comrades who died died in the attacks of this kind of aerial gunboat.

At this time, the air gunboats were not aware of the threat on the ground. If there were weapons on the ground that could deal with them, they would have fired in the first round of their own attack. They were sure that the high-firing machine guns on the ground , is only lethal to airborne personnel, for them, there is no threat.

They didn't know that they were wrong again this time.

The machine gunner on the air gunboat is looking out from the open side door, and umbrella flowers can be seen falling everywhere, but the people on it are dead, and the only remaining paratroopers are gathering in one place.

God damn Grenadians, where are you hiding!The firepower on the ground seemed to disappear suddenly.

Suddenly, a puff of white smoke appeared from a low building.

"Anti-air missile!" The machine gunner shouted: "Attention, there are anti-aircraft missiles on the ground!"

When the pilot in the front cabin heard it, he immediately opened the throttle fully, pulled up the heavy aircraft, and at the same time, turned on the switch of the flame bomb.

Immediately, on both sides of the gunboat in the air, spectacular flame bombs appeared, scattered downward like fireworks. This is the only self-defense weapon on this type of aircraft.

It is simply impossible for the air gunboat to do a high-overload maneuver to avoid this kind of missile. They can only climb upwards and hope that the flame bomb can distract the target.

Thankfully, they dodged that missile.

But then, from the other side, another missile flew up.

This missile is the latest shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile equipped to the Soviet army this year, Sam-18!

The Sam-18 missile was developed in 1971, but it did not enter military service until 1983. It can attack various low-altitude and ultra-low-altitude targets and hovering helicopters head-on and tail-chasing. Its combat performance will not be outdated until 20 years later. .

Now, this kind of missile has shown its power for the first time, and it can completely distinguish the false targets of those flame bombs!

In the history of the Soviet army, it was the first time that a type of weaponry was put into actual combat in less than a year.

"Boom!" The missile accurately hit an engine of the air gunship, and the 1.27 kg high-explosive fragmentation warhead with a proximity fuze tore off the wing, and the air gunboat immediately rolled over in the air , and then fell down.

Seeing that the aerial gunboat was shot down, the rest had no choice but to accelerate their ascent, leave this dangerous airspace, and carry out this kind of attack at low altitude. What they fear most is the ground anti-aircraft missile.

The A-6 and A-7 attack aircraft followed, flexible attack aircraft designed to neutralize this threat.

Towards the place where the anti-aircraft missile was fired just now, the A-6 attack plane fired a series of rockets, turning the place into ruins.

Fierce battles are constantly being staged.

At the airport, the parachute troops of the US military suffered great losses, but their attack in other directions went smoothly.

The U.S. carrier air force carried out aviation fire preparations on Grenville.84 Marines from the 1-400 Marine Corps Amphibious Guard Brigade took a helicopter from the amphibious assault ship "Guam", landed on the land of Grenville, and together with [-] US troops who arrived later, occupied this place. A city in eastern Grenada.

At the same time, the US Marine Corps is also preparing to land from the south of Grenada Island.

It was only after the US invaded Grenada that the Reagan government discovered that its claim to rescue its own citizens did not hold water in the world, and most countries in the world actually expressed strong opposition.

Almost all countries believe that this war is a war of aggression launched by the United States against a sovereign country, including the Western European countries in the United States. A sovereign country invades!

The Permanent Council of the Organization of American States held an emergency meeting in Washington, arguing that the actions of the United States in Grenada seriously violated the "principle of non-intervention" and demanded that the United States immediately withdraw its troops.When the United Nations Security Council voted on the "American aggression" proposal proposed by Nicaragua, 11 votes were in favor, and the United States immediately gave up its veto power to prevent the proposal from being passed.What Reagan didn't expect was that even the United Kingdom abstained this time because Grenada is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations!

The only thing that can comfort the Reagan government is probably the beginning of this incident, which suppressed the inside story of the shooting down of the Korean Air passenger plane that had caused a lot of turmoil some time ago.

Chapter 539 Kusai visits the fan hunting early warning aircraft

The United States began to publicize in the country. This time, the U.S. government is determined to send troops to rescue American citizens in Grenada. The U.S. government is always thinking of American citizens. The U.S. government will always be the government of American citizens!

Although in the international community, the United States has established a typical negative image, but in China, public opinion has begun to turn for the better. In fact, many Americans still prefer to believe that their government is such a government that is completely for the interests of American citizens. .

The Reagan government was even more determined to continue this battle. In view of the failure of the initial attack, they increased their troops here for the second time, hoping to win the battle quickly.

After receiving the news that Grenada was invaded by the United States, Qusay breathed a sigh of relief.

This incident, under the instigation of this little wing of my own, I hope it will have a huge impact on both the United States and the Soviet Union!

Now, the stronger the fight between the two sides, the better it will be for him, because the eyes of the world will pay attention to it, and the resistance to his actions will be much smaller.

Attacking the capital of a country is a sign of a complete victory over a country. Qusay is still unclear about the reaction of the international community. What he needs is a quick solution!

After laying out the strategic plan, the specific tactics still need to be operated by the Ministry of National Defense. Qu Sai only needs to wait for the result.

Taking advantage of this time, he had the opportunity to take a tour of Basra and see what he had been looking forward to for a long time: the early warning machine!

The fan-hunting early warning machine, he only saw it in military magazines in later generations, but now, it has begun to take root on the land of Iraq. This technology is inferior to the E-3 early warning machine, although he strongly recommends it A project, but whether it will meet Iraq's needs is not yet clear to him.

Unknowingly, Basra has become an important industrial base in Iraq. Here, there is a very important aviation industry in Iraq. F-20, Mirage 4000, F404 engine, cruise missiles, these big projects have all settled here. Now , There is a new base here: the experimental base of the hunting fan pre-alarm machine.

Unlike F-20 and Mirage 4000, those are mature aircraft, and Iraq only needs to assemble them. Although Iraq strongly recommends the replacement of Mirage 4000 engines in Iraq, the cautious French still chose The engine was shipped back to France, bypassing the Iraqi technicians, and working directly with the US personnel, who did not want the Iraqi technicians to do it.Super Seven is just a project to modify ready-made avionics to make money through international cooperation.As for the hunting fan pre-alarm machine, Iraq participated in it. This project is not yet fully practical and needs to be further developed. Moreover, it is connected with Iraq's existing C3I system!

There are three people working together on the current pre-warning machine, the original researcher of the pre-warning machine, the technical staff of Ousheng Electronics, and the electronic engineering personnel of Iraq itself. problems, and carry out technical research.

When Qusay arrived, the pre-warning aircraft had just returned from an experiment. At Basra Airport, Qusay looked at the plane with the big nose and big tail, and landed back to the airport with a satisfied smile on his face. , the Iraqi Air Force has an early warning aircraft, and only then can it become a real air force!

Now it is a big nose, and it will definitely be a mushroom dish in the future, and even in the form of a phased array antenna!

And this backward airframe will also be replaced by the future Yunshi!

After the plane landed, John, the person in charge of the fanhunting project, walked down very happily. During this test flight over Iraq, because the Iraqi side reduced the detection of extremely low-speed targets, the computer system did not crash as before, but The work was carried out normally, and it has been working in an orderly manner for several hours, and no electronic components have been damaged. The airspace around Iraq has been observed very clearly. This is a good start!

Afterwards, Joseph also left. In Iraq, he has been responsible for the development of key models. This time, he became the Iraqi person in charge of this project, mainly responsible for matching the early warning aircraft with the Iraqi C3I system.

Joseph took a look, and saw that among the people who greeted them in the distance, there was a very eye-catching one, that is the real ruler of Iraq today, Your Excellency Qusay!

He immediately notified John, and learned that it was an important person from Iraq who came to see him. John was also very excited, and he walked quickly to Qusay.

"Welcome everyone very much. Are you still used to it when you come to Iraq?" Qusay asked. He already knew that the person in front of him was the person in charge of the Predator Precautions Project. In future generations, this guy has been depressed for a long time .

"Thank you, Your Excellency Qusay, for your concern. The sky in Iraq is very clear." John said, in fact, his words were a little out of tune, more like boasting about his early warning machine.

I knew that there was such a young man in power in Iraq, but John was still very surprised when he saw him. He was already a very good person, but at the age of the man in front of him, he was still an ordinary person in the aerospace company. The researcher has not yet made a fortune.
