Chapter 632 This is the real anger of Babylon!

Twenty seconds after the first Red Bird missile launched into the air, the second missile burst out of the launch tube. Although this scene was not as grand as Katyusha's launch, it was shrouded in flames and smoke. The launching position is already a very spectacular sight.

All the officers and soldiers at the scene did not have time to watch this spectacular scene. They were concentrating on operating the instruments in front of them. The atmosphere was very tense. They needed to quickly fire all the missiles and then quickly retreat.

The launch window is very short, because they have to launch within the time when there are no American reconnaissance satellites sweeping overhead.

Then, the third missile was also launched, and Warikh felt a little relaxed. They just need to finish launching the cruise missile. They don’t need to worry about the rest. This kind of missile is intelligent. Know how to fly.

"Report No. 12 car failure, the power supply of the No. [-] launch tube cannot be loaded." At this time, a voice suddenly came.

"Troubleshoot immediately." Valiher's mood became tense. Before the missile is launched, it needs an external power supply to load the missile with a temporary power supply. Otherwise, relying on its own power supply alone cannot meet the pre-launch inspection and other tasks.

The personnel in charge of maintenance who were waiting at the side immediately rushed to the position where the No. 12 launch vehicle was located. Regardless of the fact that the launch vehicle was still a little hot, they opened several detection ports of the launch tube for a quick inspection.

"The power supply of the primary circuit is faulty, and the lower bottom cover has to be disassembled." A technician said.

When the other vehicles had completed the task of launching the fourth missile and were laying down the launch tubes and preparing to evacuate from the launch position, only the No. 12 vehicle was still busy nervously.

The smoke generated during the launch of the launch field has gradually faded.

"Quickly, use a screwdriver to unscrew these covers." A technician commanded.

The minutes ticked by, and with each passing minute the danger increased, for, overhead, the American satellites were soon approaching.

"No.12 car, how long will it take to troubleshoot?" Warihe asked.

"10 minutes."

"Maximum 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, if the fault has not been eliminated, immediately evacuate the launch position, leaving the No. [-] and No. [-] support vehicles behind, and the rest of the vehicles, immediately return to the base." Warihe ordered in the radio.

At the scene, the roar of the engine was endless. The 8*8 off-road heavy trucks they equipped used the NG-80 series diesel engine with a maximum of 400 horsepower. Now, the missiles they carried had been launched, leaving only the empty launch tubes , and then put on the camouflage net, I also felt very relaxed, and started to return in the desert.

The technicians of the NO.12 car are still busy, and after removing the cover, the dense wiring inside is exposed, like a spider web. As far as technicians are concerned, they know the exact purpose and direction of each line.

As soon as the technicians withdrew, they discovered the problem. One of the missiles used too much solder during the welding process, which caused interference with other circuits and caused a malfunction.

Once the reason is found, the solution is simple. Re-process the solder joint and assemble it back.

In the production of missiles, especially high-tech products such as long-range missiles, quality problems must be guaranteed during the production process. A small fault will lead to launch failure. In war, this is a crime, a serious crime!Due to the relatively large number of Red Bird III missiles needed this time, a group of new employees were recruited on the production line, because some of these employees were not skilled enough.Seeing that the problem had been dealt with, Valikh thought in his heart that after returning home, he must report this problem to the person in charge of the Red Bird III missile project.

After completing the final preparations, this missile quickly flew into the sky under the operation of the launch personnel of the No. 12 vehicle.

Then, the launch tube of No. 12 car was quickly released, the camouflage net was covered, and it accelerated to keep up with its own team.

In the sky, the launched missiles, like ghosts, all bent down and entered the low altitude.

After they took off from the launch site, they entered Jordanian airspace and continued to fly in the vast Syrian desert. Then, they split into two directions, one part went due west, and entered the border of Syria in the Mount Sma area. , passing through the mountains and finally flying out of Lebanon.

The other part, heading southwest, will continue to directly attack the Dimona area of ​​Israel from Jordan.

Although there was no one commanding the Red Bird in the low sky, it was like the most disciplined fighter. Every missile flew the same route.

Only the last missile, like a straggler, followed them thirty kilometers behind them.

The elastic wings on both sides of the Red Bird No. [-] support its body. The small turbofan engine is working normally, and only a faint flame is ejected from the tail. I have already flown in the sky, but there is no trace left!

In the mountains of Syria, a mountain resident was carrying a hoe home. When he saw the UFOs flying not far above his head, his eyes almost popped out.He thought of the planes flying in the sky two years ago. As a result, a large-scale war broke out with the Jews. Could it be that this time, it is going to be a war again?

"Wife, hurry up and take out the money, let's go to the market to buy enough food to store up, we're going to fight!"

Another pre-warning aircraft launched by Iraq is already cruising on the northern border line. Its radar is closely watching the launched missiles to observe whether their navigation is normal.After only tracking ten kilometers, the target was lost.

Iraq's sharp blow has begun!

The exercise in the Arab region had already made Israel full of vigilance. Now, the troops in the exercise suddenly changed their planned target, which made Israel pay more attention. God knows if they will take advantage of this opportunity to carry out another Air raids and even large-scale attacks on the ground!

The deputy secretary of defense of the United States is angry. Now, seeing that the situation may get out of control at any time, but they are only here to observe the exercise, and they have no power to command the exercise troops, let alone interfere with their top decision-making. William even began to think, this time they Being invited to observe the exercise, do the Arabs want them to watch how their side attacks Israel?This is simply an absolute irony!

He listened to the battle report from the front line, and the military attaches from various countries who watched the exercise this time were full of murmurs in their hearts.The delegation of the eastern powers was an eye-opener. One day, their own air force should have such a powerful capability, how wonderful it would be!Out-of-sight air combat, dazzling close-range combat, and now long-range raids, are said to be carrying precision-guided munitions.

Unbeknownst to everyone, the attack on Israel's Dimona base had already begun.

The operation of Babylon's Rage is divided into two parts. This large-scale and huge exercise is just a feint to attract everyone's attention. The real Babylon's Rage is the Iraqi Red Bird III missile.

At present, there is no military operation in which cruise missiles play the leading role. The most suitable assault is to be attacked by fighter planes carrying precision-guided weapons. The Israeli raid on Iraq's nuclear reactors is an example.However, in future wars, ground attack cruise missiles will become a powerful surprise force!

In later generations, in the Gulf War in 91, the Tomahawk missile of the United States set a brilliant example and became famous ever since.

The reason why cruise missiles will shine in future generations is related to their performance. The difficulty of combating cruise missiles even exceeds that of stealth aircraft.Cruise missiles are small in size, much smaller than airplanes, resulting in a very small radar reflection area, almost below 0.01 square meters, which is the size of a bird as big as a pigeon, and their flying altitude is very low.Mixed in the complex ground echoes, even the most advanced early warning aircraft in the United States cannot carry out effective detection and early warning.The detection distance on the sea surface is only 10 kilometers, and the distance will be greatly shortened when entering the area with complex undulations on the ground. The airborne radar of fighter jets, even the F-15 listed in color, will have a detection and locking distance of 10 kilometers. Within kilometers, there is not enough time for an interception.

Moreover, even if a cruise missile is found, there is no effective way to shoot it down. The cruise missile uses a small turbofan engine in flight, and the infrared signal characteristics of the aircraft are far lower than that of the aircraft. The infrared seeker of the intercepting missile is very difficult. It is difficult to identify and lock cruise missiles from the complex infrared radiation waves on the ground. Even if they can lock, the effective shooting distance is only a few kilometers.

Therefore, Qusay has been vigorously developing ground attack cruise missiles, which will be a great weapon in the future.

What's more, for now, the attention of the Israeli Air Force has been dispersed to the south and west over the Mediterranean Sea, and it has no energy to observe its own north and east.

In the narrow southern airspace of Israel, an emergency E-2 pre-warning plane is watching the planes of the Arab countries on the side of the national border vigilantly. As long as they dare to cross the national border and invade their own airspace, then , will be shot by the F-15!

This time, the Israeli Air Force has been very restrained. If it was before, they would definitely cross the national border, take the initiative to attack, and beat down the planes of the Arabs who intimidated them!

Only this time, they kept calm, because they were also afraid of the escalation of the conflict. Once the two sides exchanged fire, then the exercise troops of the Arab countries might really turn into an offensive. Israel is not afraid of war, but, for the pointless They still have to avoid the war, especially now that they have the handle of carrying out the nuclear program privately, which is held in the hands of the world.

Chapter 633 Interception Map-22M

"The targets are divided into four batches, four in each batch, and they are flying northward along the border. The 135th Squadron is paying close attention and accompanying them in our airspace. As long as the opponent crosses the border, they are ready to fight at any time." A squadron of F-15 fighter jets gave the order.

"Understood." The squadron leader received the order from the radio, and then, the entire squadron quickly approached the national border, ready to fight at any time.The missiles under the wings shine brightly in the sun.

"Attention," over the Mediterranean Sea, another early warning plane also issued a police report: "Two suspicious targets are flying from the northwest, 128 kilometers away from us, No. [-] Squadron, go to observe closely while maintaining restraint .”

Those two planes are most likely the two Soviet Tu-22Ms flying from the Black Sea. The Israeli Air Force has to rely on them to observe, and at the same time, they cannot attack rashly, because now they are on the high seas, and anyone can flying.

The F-128 fighters of the 15th Squadron immediately accelerated and flew towards the distant target. The missiles carried by the opponent had a maximum range of [-] kilometers. Carry out escort interception and observe the other party's actions at any time. If the other party fires missiles, then they will never let those two planes go!

At the same time, they carefully avoided the Soviet naval formations in the Mediterranean to prevent too much friction with them.

Many wars have forged a powerful Israeli Air Force. No matter what kind of difficulties they face, they will never be afraid or lose their fighting spirit. They are the invincible Eagles of David!

Under the watchful eyes of observers from various countries, the ground forces in the Arab army also started their own dispatches.

This long-range ground raid has two directions. The Iraqi armored division and the Saudi armored division are the main force of the assault.Tanks, as the king of land warfare, the large-scale attack of this armored force, the scene is very spectacular. In the telescope of the observer, they saw the shocking scene, countless steel giants roaring forward on the ground, the exhaust pipe at the tail Thick smoke came out, the gun barrels in front were high, and they began to charge forward!

For the Iraqi armored division, their new T-72 tank is at the forefront. This tank has shown its sturdy side due to the replacement of a new type of high-horsepower engine, with excellent acceleration performance and high cross-country speed.

And what followed was the Type 69 tank that Iraq had imported from a major eastern country and then refitted.

Behind the tank assault group, there are Type 63 armored vehicles. The infantry are accompanying the tanks to fight. The self-propelled anti-aircraft guns are on both sides of the group, responsible for air security. The one walking at the end is the Iraqi 122mm self-propelled howitzer. .
