William's complexion was very bad. This series of unexpected situations was definitely not accidental!

Qusay felt very lucky. He planned the revision of the exercise plan all by himself, with the purpose of attracting the attention of Israel and laying the foundation for his final blow. He didn't know that even the Soviets gave face like this.

After the warships of the Black Sea Fleet sailed into the Mediterranean Sea, the US Navy's aircraft carrier formation also entered the Mediterranean Sea. This made the formation commander of the Black Sea Fleet's exercise, Major General Barkin on the Moscow aircraft carrier very uncomfortable. He ordered the rear The Naval Air Force took off four Tu-22Ms to conduct an additional exercise: two simulated attacks on the US aircraft carrier formation, and two simulated attacks on land. As for the target of the attack, the Dimona area in Israel was naturally chosen.

The backfire bomber is gray in the upper part and white in the lower part. The sharp front end pierces the sky. The two huge air intakes are constantly breathing in a large amount of air. The engine at the rear spouts flames, pushing the body Soaring in the sky, the variable-sweep wing supports a body of dozens of tons. The four crew members at the front of the nose calmly operate the plane. Under their belly, a large AS-4 missiles.

AS-4 Kitchen, the Soviet code name is KH-22 Storm, this is a large air-to-surface missile with a maximum Mach number of 2.5, a range of more than [-] kilometers, and a weight of six tons. There are a ton!No matter how big the US ship is, even an aircraft carrier, it can't withstand a single missile!

The Soviet Union will not take the initiative to attack the US aircraft carrier, this time it is just a drill.

Because the Black Sea Fleet, although it has several large warships, cannot compete with the US aircraft carrier formation. They take off this kind of bomber to send a signal to the US Navy, hoping that they will not get too close to them, otherwise, there will be danger!

The Soviet Union didn't know that the exercises of the Arab countries changed their targets, and they were almost on the border of Israel. At this time, the bombers they took off seemed to give the Arab army a prestige.

The air forces listed in Israel have scrambled to take off a large number of planes, and all the air-controlling F-15 fighters are all in the air, ready to deal with the planes of Arab countries that may fly over the airspace at any time. shoot down!The Israeli air force has always been active in attacking others, and it has never been so hot as it is now. They have Sparrow air-to-air missiles and Sidewinder missiles mounted under their wings, ready to attack at any time.

In addition to the exercises conducted by the Arabs in the south, it is more important for them to guard against the attack of Soviet bombers in the north. They flew about [-] kilometers away from the coastline in order to effectively intercept the opponent's aircraft before launching missiles.

Of the three E-2C pre-warning planes listed in color, two were launched, one was monitoring the south, one was monitoring the east, and the other was being maintained.

The war may start at the next moment, but Israel has never been afraid!

At this time, I am afraid that no one will notice the moving vehicles on the simple road far away from the battlefield.

Chapter 631 Red Bird No. [-] Salvo

Vehicles with 8*8 off-road chassis are now quite common in Iraq. In mountainous areas, this type of vehicle can adapt to those unhardened concrete roads with a high traffic rate, and in desert areas, it can travel in sand dunes. Don't worry about getting stuck in a sand trap.

The only disadvantage is that this kind of vehicle consumes too much fuel. The 8*8-driven vehicle consumes several times more fuel than a simple rear-drive vehicle. However, compared with tracked vehicles, it is fuel-efficient.

With good adaptability, this kind of vehicle has occupied half of the Iraqi transportation market.

Now, on the Syrian Desert in Anbar Province in western Iraq, such a vehicle mainly composed of 8*8 off-road heavy trucks is traveling on the endless desert. Similar camouflage, from high in the sky, with reconnaissance aircraft or reconnaissance satellites, it is difficult to find the target.

The huge wheels left a rut on the desert, but then, it was covered by the yellow sand blown from behind, and calmness was restored again, as if no convoy had ever passed by, the unique ecstasy caused by the supercharged engine The whistle-like hissing has disappeared into the distant sand dunes.

Walih was sitting on a launch vehicle refitted with a Mercedes-Benz NG-80 heavy-duty truck chassis, looking into the distance with piercing eyes.

With the development of the Iraqi missile project, Qusay felt that it was necessary to create a new branch of the Soviet armed forces, Iraq's own strategic missile force!

Although now, Iraq only has two types of missiles, Red Bird III and OTP-23, which can be regarded as this level, but this is just the beginning. Red Bird III cruise missile and OTP-23 ballistic missile, two The range of the missiles is less than 3 kilometers, but Iraq will continue to improve on the basis of the two types of missiles. In particular, after a while, it will introduce the Dongfeng-[-] missile with a range of [-] kilometers. Time, coupled with the nuclear warhead developed by Iraq itself, then Iraq will finally have a killer.

Therefore, this kind of force dedicated to strategic missiles needs to be formed. Qusay personally supervised this matter and organized this force. The name of the force is just the No. [-] force. The attention of certain foreign forces.

As for the commander of the army, he must choose the most loyal subordinates. Among his subordinates, Qusay chose Warih. Warih has been loyal to Qusay since the first day he came to this world. He is loyal, capable, and has a relatively high level of education.

Therefore, Qusay transferred Warih from the Sidewinder Special Forces and served as the commander of the No. 23 unit. They currently have Iraq's Red Bird No. [-] missiles and some OTP-[-] missiles. (The other part is assigned to the field division, used to perform the same role as the Scud, to suppress the enemies on the front line, and at the same time hide the existence of this unit.) At the same time, due to the special nature of the unit, it also absorbed some missile manufacturers. technicians and graduates of Baghdad University.The missile force is a high-tech force that requires a large number of educated and educated personnel to serve as the backbone.

At the same time, since this force will undertake the launch of Iraq's nuclear forces in the future, this force must be the most loyal. All personnel who join this force have been strictly examined. Party members.

This missile attack is the first important combat mission since the establishment of No. [-] Force, so Valikh attaches great importance to it. In particular, the target of their attack is the nuclear facility listed in sè.

The digital map needed for cruise missiles provided by the Soviet Union. Joseph’s team has completed the conversion of the map data on the missile’s attack route and loaded it into the missile. All the data of the target has been pre-installed and allocated for these missiles. The task of each missile, what they need to do is to reach the predetermined launching position and launch the missile!

The convoy has a total of 35 vehicles, among which there are 22 quadruple-mounted missile launching vehicles, with a total of 86 missiles. There are also ten logistics support and maintenance vehicles, which can troubleshoot various faults at any time. Two fuel supply vehicles are for the convoy Supplies are available at all times, a communication vehicle, and confidential contact with superiors.

Warih led the No. [-] troop forward in the desert, and finally arrived at the scheduled launch location: a preset launch position about five kilometers from the border with Jordan.

"Attention, launch vehicles at intervals of 100 meters, and finally confirm your latitude and longitude position, fine-tune the launch elements, and prepare to launch." Warikh shouted in the radio.

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

The precision of a cruise missile can reach several meters. If you want to shoot accurately, then it is more important to accurately determine your position before launching.

However, even if there are some errors when launching, because during the flight, they can accurately fly themselves to the preset orbit based on the comparison of the digital map. They only increase the accuracy as much as possible. degree to reduce the error.

The convoy stopped, and the convoy slowly unfolded according to the predetermined interval.

A soldier jumped off the launching vehicle, stepped on the rear guardrail, climbed onto the roof, and folded the camouflage net covering it.

Immediately, the huge square barrels under the camouflage net were revealed, and inside each square barrel was a Red Bird III missile ready to launch!

Several personnel in charge of the operation jumped out from the front cab, climbed into the two-meter-wide control room at the back, activated the instruments, and made the final preparations before the launch.

The lights on the instrument panel flashed one by one, and the last detection of the four Red Bird III missiles was in progress. At the same time, the flight route and the midway digital map were locked for the last time, ready for the final launch.

"Stand up the missile." The next order came.

Below the quadruple-mounted missile launcher is a platform support. Now, with the roar of the engine, the hydraulic oil is pressed into the oil cylinder, and two large hydraulic rods slowly launch the quadruple-mounted missiles. The barrel rises.

The missile is placed parallel to the back. If it is launched directly, the missile will hit the equipment bay in front as soon as the missile is launched. However, this kind of cruise missile is originally flying at ultra-low altitude, so there is no need to Like launching a ballistic missile, the launch tube is completely erected, as long as the inclination angle reaches 48 degrees, the exit of the launch tube can be kept a safe distance away from the top of the equipment compartment in front.

Dozens of cars are raising missile launchers together. This kind of scene is probably the first time in the entire Middle East, or even the entire world!

"Report, Troop No. [-], complete the preparations before launching, and can launch at any time!" Through the confidential channel on the communication vehicle, a radio wave flew back to Baghdad.

The Iraqi Ministry of National Defense has entered the most tense atmosphere at this moment, because Iraq's attack on Israel's nuclear program, the most critical step in the entire plan of Babylon's anger, is about to begin!

"How's the situation in our exercise area?" Qusay asked.

"According to our prearrangement, Prince Sultan has announced a change in the exercise plan. The target of the attack is the border with Israel in Jordan. Now, our air force fighter planes have flown over the border of Jordan. The ground troops Already advancing northward at full speed, Jordanian troops are now waiting for our troops on the border line, ready to indicate targets ahead."

"What's the reaction from Israel?"

"The main fighter jets of the Israeli Air Force have already taken off and are patrolling over the southern part of the Israeli Air Force. At the same time, the other party has launched an early warning plane, which is monitoring our exercise aircraft and is ready to deal with our possible invasion of the other party's airspace."

Mobilizing the Israeli aircraft and diverting the attention of the Israeli Air Force will be more conducive to the stealthy flight of our own cruise missiles.

"At the same time, some Israeli fighter jets took off towards the Mediterranean coast." Adnan added.

To the West?Cusay was a little puzzled.

"The Soviet Naval Air Force took off a squadron of bombers, said to be Tu-22M, and they flew towards the Mediterranean Sea. Now, Israel is on strict defense, fearing an attack from the Soviet Union."

The Soviet Union took off fighter planes?Are you flying towards the Mediterranean Sea?Qu Sai was overjoyed and said, "Immediately order the missile force to launch the Red Bird III missile!"

The Soviet Union really did help themselves at the critical moment, and with their help to distract the Israelis, the success of this attack will be even greater.

After receiving the order, Iraq's newly established missile force finally launched its own thunderous strike.

"Attention, enter the launch countdown, and launch the missiles one by one!" Warikh ordered calmly.

After receiving the order, the officers and soldiers in the launch vehicle started the final procedure. The power supply on the bomb was switched on. The 80286 chip on the bomb had been activated and was ready to enter the working state at full speed. After the various devices were activated, the launch into an irreversible process.

Then, the rocket booster at the tail of the missile began to ignite, a huge flame burst out from the tail, and the end cover at the front was opened. Like a dragon coming out of water, the Red Bird III missile flew out of the launch box. The wings spread out, and Red Bird No. [-] soared into the sky.

After flying out, the Red Bird III climbed 1200 meters with the power of the booster. After the booster burned out, it was separated from the projectile. The small turbofan engine started to start, and the missile continued to climb to the highest point of the trajectory at about 3000 meters. The engine was working normally, and the navigation equipment also began to enter a tense working state. Then, the Red Bird [-] began to descend to the cruising altitude, and then turned to the cruising state to fly.
