This is a head-to-head contest!The steel core of the armor-piercing projectile is stuffing in, and the steel plate is also working hard to block the penetration of this kind of thing. The speed of the steel core is getting smaller and smaller, and the penetration is getting more and more difficult.

Finally, when it was about to come out, when the tail of the steel plate was already a little bulging, the steel-core armor-piercing projectile couldn't penetrate it, and stayed on it helplessly.

Afterwards, another tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile flew in front of his target. The [-]mm thick steel plate was more than half a meter thick!The armor-piercing projectile has been drilling inward, inwardly, its sharp point easily pierced into the steel plate, and continued to move forward.

Suddenly, it felt the top of its head loosen, and it had already passed through the steel plate. At this time, it also exhausted its last strength, and the second half of its body remained in the steel plate.

Ali's tank drove all the way to the target. What he was most afraid of was that his shells missed the target. In that case, President Qusay would look down on him.

Of course, there is another aspect. The new armor-piercing projectile is said to be very powerful. However, he still does not believe that it can penetrate a 2000mm thick steel plate, which is a distance of [-] meters!

When he jumped out of the tank, he was stunned.

The armor-piercing projectiles equipped by his own side did not penetrate the [-]mm thick steel plate, which he had already prepared for. He knew all the data of the tanks that had equipped his armored forces for several years.

However, another imported armor-piercing bullet seems too abnormal, right?That's a [-]mm thick steel plate!The tip that has been exposed seems to be mocking the armor-piercing bullet next to it.Look, there is a huge gap between what we use for our own use in the Soviet Union and what we export!

Afterwards, Qusay rode a track car and came to the front of the target. He was also shocked when he saw this amazing comparison result. The gap between what the Soviet Union provided and what the Soviet Union used for its own use was too big, right?

If in the Gulf War of later generations, if Iraq had the weapon performance of the Soviet army for its own use, it wouldn't ruin the reputation of T-72, would it?

With a distance of 2000 meters and a penetration depth of [-] mm, this is only a tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullet. If it is a Soviet depleted uranium armor-piercing bullet, it will be even more abnormal.

"Amir, you have done a great job for us!" Qusay said.

"President, look, we have only been equipped with a hundred of this kind of armor-piercing bullets, which are only in single digits for each tank. Do you want to equip us with another batch?" Ali said.

"That depends on our equipment minister." Qu Sai said.This experiment has strengthened his determination to bring back the Soviet Union's family property. How many good things are there in the Soviet Union's arsenal!

When Qusay was lamenting the Soviet Union's original weapons, he didn't know that a major event that threatened Iraq's interests occurred in another place.

Chapter 772 The Kingfisher's Destruction

Six large propellers pierced the hazy sky. At a height almost touching the ground, a CH-53 helicopter was flying carefully. The thick fuselage flashed quickly in the sky. This is the United States. The production of the Sea Stallion helicopter, the nationality information on the aircraft has been wiped clean.

They have been flying for nearly two hours, the fuselage of the helicopter is bumping, and the armed personnel inside the fuselage are resting motionless with their eyes closed.

Each of them is painted with camouflage paste, which is similar to the color of the clothes on their bodies. They will blend into the desert background, which is conducive to their actions. They hold various weapons in their hands, and the only thing that can reveal their identities The most informative, I am afraid, is the small kingfisher tattoo on a very inconspicuous place on the shoulder below the neck.

Yes, they are the most elite special forces in Israel, Kingfisher Special Forces!

They are the best fighters in the army of all colors. After being selected layer by layer, they entered this unit representing the highest glory. Each of them feels proud. They have undergone the most rigorous training and are able to complete the most dangerous missions. Task.

Although they have experienced failures and their generals were arrested because of their failures, they are still full of fighting spirit. Last year, Israel suffered a loss for the first time in the conflict, which made every Jew There was a surge of energy in their hearts.They need to use a happy battle to prove their strength.

This time, they departed from the base, flew over the Mediterranean Sea, entered on the border between northern Lebanon and Syria, and then flew at a very low altitude, all the way east, and landed in the inaccessible eastern part of Syria.

There, they will complete a special task.

Syria's air defense force is far less powerful than Iraq's. Moreover, Syria's most important thing is the Damascus area, where most of the air defense forces are deployed. Therefore, they went around far away from the sea and entered at an ultra-low altitude, and were not detected by Syrian air defense radars.

However, this also led to the lack of range of their planes. They were already flying with the maximum amount of fuel, and they still had to let their troops walk tens of kilometers. At that time, it happened to be dark, which was convenient for their actions.

"Attention, we are about to reach the landing area." The words of the captain in the cockpit came from the cabin.

The personnel who were still sleeping just now suddenly became full of energy. They quickly put their equipment on their backs, ready to make the final preparations.

"For Israel, bravely go to the war department!" After the captain finished speaking, the cabin door opened, and the plane was already hovering in the air a few meters above the ground.

The ropes on both sides were thrown out, and the skilled fighters of the Kingfisher Special Forces slid down from the ropes with a graceful posture.

The two who slid down first were immediately distributed in a fan shape to guard the landing site here, and then the others also slid down.

They are a small team of 15 people, each of them is carrying an individual backpack, which contains their supplies and ammunition, and one of them is also holding a radio station that communicates with the rear.

After the landing, the helicopter flew away, and they will come back here again at this time tomorrow to pick up their own personnel.

In the remaining 24 hours, the Kingfisher Special Forces team needs to complete the task alone without any support.

However, the leader of the team this time, Captain Golani, did not feel that this was such a difficult task. Since the establishment of the Kingfisher Special Forces, they have been engaged in various battles deep behind the enemy's rear. Where we went, within [-] kilometers around, there was no regular Syrian army. By the time the Syrians noticed something unusual, they had already run away without a trace.

"Attention, we are moving forward according to the scheduled route." Captain Golani said while making a gesture.

This 15-member team quickly disappeared in the vast central part of Syria.

Stepping on the dead branches on the ground, stepping on the weeds where no one has walked, they are moving towards their goals.

As the night gradually darkened, everyone wore night vision goggles. This kind of expensive equipment was only assigned to the most elite troops like them.

After walking for another two hours, the outline of that thing appeared in the eyepiece of the green night vision goggles.

That long, thick pipe can't see the end at a glance, this is their goal!

This is an oil pipeline, with black metal flowing inside it.

In order to transport its own crude oil and improve its transport capacity, Iraq has been thinking of various ways. In the era of Saddam, although Assad and Saddam did not match each other, for the sake of profit, Syria still agreed In order to build an oil pipeline in Syria from the Kirkuk oil field in northern Iraq to the port of Baniyas in Syria to export oil.

The Kirkuk oil field was one of the main oil fields in Iraq at that time. Because it was located in northern Iraq, it was very inconvenient for Iraq to export oil. The distance from Kirkuk to Basra was about the same as from Kirkuk to the Mediterranean through Syria. If you go to Syria, you can directly transport the oil to the Mediterranean Sea. The road is much closer, and there is no need to cross the Persian Gulf, so the risk of being blocked from exporting will be minimized.

Therefore, the construction of this pipeline has begun. After the construction is successful, 20 barrels of crude oil will be transported directly to the Mediterranean Sea from here.

Historically, this pipeline has not been opened for a long time. After the Iran-Iraq War began, this oil pipeline was completely closed in 1982, and it has not been opened until later generations.

And now, because of Qusay’s crossing, there is a discrepancy with history again. This pipeline was only closed for a period of time in 82. After Iraq supported the battle in the Bekaa Valley in Syria, after the promotion of His Excellency Qusay, this The pipeline started up again.

Until later, this pipeline was in normal operation. Although compared with Iraq's daily output of several million barrels of oil, this pipeline could not transport all the oil out. The main channel of Iraq is still the Persian Gulf. However, this The pipeline undoubtedly played a big role.

After the last war, Israel completely formed a deadly feud with Iraq. Under the instigation of more right-wing groups, Israel finally planned this operation to strike Iraq economically!

Especially under the operation of Iraq, Britain temporarily suspended its military cooperation with Israel. Although Israel could turn to the United States and get everything they wanted from the United States, this incident eventually became A fuse, Israel, needs revenge!

How to retaliate against Iraq is very particular, especially, although the United States is now sparing no effort to support Israel and hopes that the Israeli Air Force will recover as soon as possible, but this oil incident has also narrowed the relationship between the United States and Iraq However, the U.S. zhèngfǔ still intends to sell the E-3 pre-warning aircraft to Iraq. Although it finally gave up under the strong protest of Israel, Israel also realized that it is unrealistic to launch a military strike now. .

In particular, the Israeli Air Force is still in the process of rebuilding. It is not appropriate for them to have a direct confrontation with the Iraqi Air Force before they recover.

If you can't fight clearly, then come secretly!

It is difficult to engage in activities in Iraq, especially the arrest of General Adam last time, which put them under a lot of psychological pressure. Therefore, after careful planning, they finally decided on a plan of action, that is, to destroy the Iraqi Oil pipelines in Syria!Serious blow to the oil delivery capability!

Compared with the Iraqi army, the Syrian army is nothing but fools. In particular, the oil pipeline is not a military target at all. It can be said that there is no one to guard it. Besides, the hundreds of kilometers of oil pipelines, even if you want to guard them , I'm afraid I can't see it.

If in the past, Israel would have dispatched its air force without hesitation and used precision-guided weapons to solve the problem in a few minutes, but it is no longer possible now, even if the Israeli air force can fly to Syria to carry out bombing, causing The consequences are not something they can bear. God knows what tricks that Qu Sai will play again!

Therefore, they will come secretly, wreak havoc secretly, and then slip away without leaving any traces.

This kind of destruction behind enemy lines is also an operation that the Kingfisher special forces are good at.

"Get ready for action," Galani said.
