Chapter 1019 Desert Storm
"Another propose a peace initiative and use diplomatic means to solve the problem." Selov stood up and walked around the huge table, "This is the last reminder, and it is also our Soviet Union's last effort toward peace. When the fight really starts, Americans should not regret it."
Gromiko's emergency visit to Washington was interpreted by European and American countries as the last effort to stop the United States. Gromiko, who attended the United Nations General Assembly, talked about peace and hoped that the US government and President Bush themselves would not start the war easily.
In this UN emergency meeting, the United States was very tough and insisted on its earlier propositions, so that Iran and Iraq must remove the occupied areas, and eventually parted due to the far apart of their goals.
The day after Gromiko returned to China, Selov once again assured the Iranian People's Party and the Iraqi Communist government that if the two countries could not withstand the attacks of the US military, the Soviet Union would intervene in the dispute at the appropriate time and give allies protection. The Soviet Union's claims towards allies will not change, no matter what pressure it faces.
The army of 1.7 million is not easy to chew. Even if ten thousand people die a day, it can still give the Soviet Union half a year of observation. The war clouds in the Persian Gulf region attracted the attention of the whole world. When the Soviet Union's last mediation failed, all countries knew that war was inevitable.
Digo Garcia Base, on this day, seven aircraft carriers of the USS Royal Ark, a total of eight-sou aircraft carriers were supplied with the final supply. This huge task force left the port and headed north. The eight-sou aircraft carriers advanced side by side, surrounded by escort cruisers and destroyers. Looking down from the air was a very shocking scene. The huge hull split the ocean, and the white waves were separated from the bow. Although they were just moving, they were afraid to look at them.
Above the heavy American aircraft carrier, a powerful spy satellite network is operating at high speed. The carrier-based early warning aircraft popped up by the steam catapult rushed into high altitude, providing air protection for this huge fleet.
"What a beautiful weather, it's perfect for the Air Force." The pilot flying a carrier-based early warning aircraft was very satisfied with the weather conditions with good visibility. This is the most ideal weather for the Air Force to dispatch.
Under the calm Indian Ocean, the American Los Angeles-class nuclear submarines cruising deep in the ocean are like their mission, drifting with the flow alone, and sending a fatal blow at the right time.
Due to the reduction of the total submarine volume, the US Navy has added Tomahawk-to-land attack cruise missiles to attack nuclear submarines, with a maximum range of 1,400 kilometers. It has also added the latest Tomahawk missile equipped with conventional warheads, with a range of 900 kilometers and can carry a variety of warheads, with a very flexible strike range.
Over the years, the coastline and sea level gradually blended together, and night began to cover the Indian Ocean. Experienced veterans slowly realized that the fleet's course was deflecting northwest, but no one was terrified. It was common for a long-distance fleet to temporarily change course, either conducting exercises on the way, or to avoid the coming hurricanes, or to rescue ships in distress. Even in war, it is not very difficult for the US military to operate military operations all year round.
Half an hour later, the Soviet spy satellite flying over the Digo Garcia base took photos of the US task force dispatching. The entire Digo Garcia base was empty. After receiving this information, Moscow immediately analyzed and sorted it out and quickly forwarded it to Baghdad and Tehran to prepare for war.
"Give your best to do your best and get off work!" Selov packed up his things. When it was time to fight, he suddenly didn't care about the situation in the Persian Gulf. If he won, he would defeat the United States now. If he lost, he would be twenty years late to deal with the United States. In this struggle, the Soviet Union had already been invincible.
The Saudi capital Riyadh, the US headquarters in the Middle East, is clear and the United States has entered late autumn season without any effect here. The weather is still so hot. What is even hotter is the heart of the coalition commander General Norman Schwartzkopf. When the war is about to come, he cannot calm himself down. Although the navy's mobilization has always been known for its slowness, he hopes that he can move faster this time.
Thousands of miles away, General Norman Schwartzkopf's real opponent, General Bagramiyan, who was in office, held his shoulders and looked at the map of the situation between the Persian Gulf. After a long time, a smile appeared on his face, "No one on land is the Soviet Union's opponent..."
In the early morning, the US Special Mixed Fleet had entered the designated attack position. Admiral Norman Schwartzkopf, who was informed, breathed a sigh of relief. The most painful moment had passed, and the long wait was finally coming to an end today.
"For a long time, what I worry most is that when we are not ready, the Iraqi army takes the initiative to attack us. Now this possibility finally does not exist." Norman Schwartzkopf said to the staff around him with relief.
In the process of transporting the military forces of the United States to Saudi Arabia, in order to maximize efficiency, people and equipment are transported separately, because in this way, for such twenty days, the US military in Saudi Arabia only has light weapons. If it is attacked at this time, the US military without heavy weapons will not be able to smash people with its fists.
General Norman Schwartzkopf was over-concerned. How could Selov take the initiative to remind the Iraqis that if this wins, these Middle Eastern people will not be able to go to heaven? It is estimated that the Soviet Union will soon replace the United States and train these disobedient little babies. However, this will hinder the great friendship between the Soviet Union and the Arab countries, so it is better for the US military to do this.
General Norman Schwartzkopf, who was unaware of the Soviet Union's killing with a knife, sent a telegram to Washington, saying, "All war preparations have been completed, and the desert storm operation can begin at any time." The domestic reply was soon, and the recognition operation began...
The Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine under the sea, Tomahawk cruise missiles broke out and rushed northward. On the sea, the US fleet also issued attack orders, firing more than a hundred Tomahawk cruise missiles at Iraq and Iran's air defense positions and radar bases. Multinational forces led by the United States began to carry out the "Desert Storm" operation, and the Gulf War broke out.
The US heavy aircraft carrier battle group, steam catapults ejected the carrier-based aircraft at a speed of two in one minute. F14 and F18 carrier-based aircraft were launched one after another, and anti-radiation missiles loaded with attack radar stations and military intelligence centers were lifted off.
At the same time, electronic jamming equipment deployed on the Iraqi border with Kuwait was activated to interfere with the radar stations in Iran and Iraq. At three o'clock in the morning, the first Tomahawk cruise missile was launched from the Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine under the sea, and the explosion in Iraq opened the prelude to air combat. Then, the f117 stealth fighter aircraft group that could avoid radar tracking first took off in Saudi Arabia and entered Iraqi airspace.
The carrier-based aircraft group that took off from the aircraft carrier followed the opening of the f117 to lead a huge aircraft group of multiple countries through the night sky with almost no moonlight, flew over Baghdad, and began to bomb the important military targets of Iraq and Kuwait in turn. Norman Schwartzkopf first chose to focus on attacking Iraq because the oil reserves occupied by Iraq were particularly large, and only one-fifth of the fighter aircraft group took off and bombed the nearby Bahrain.
"Well, it seems that the plane signal appeared just now, but it disappeared immediately." An Iraqi officer in a radar station near the Kuwait border was a little confused.
"Did you read it wrong? In fact, the Soviets' skills are not reliable. Didn't the Libyans suffer losses?" Another officer who was on duty at the same time said disapprovingly, "Either there is, or there is no, how could it be gone if it flashes!"
"If you use Libya as an example, doesn't that mean that the Americans have arrived?" The officer who was just talking was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "Will the US military use some method to circumvent the radar?"
Just now, their radar station has detected the flight trajectory of the cruise missile and reminded the capital to be prepared. Since it can be seen just now, there is no reason why the radar has malfunctioned now.
The f117 stealth fighter is the first generation of stealth fighter. From the perspective of air combat, except for the stealth technology just developed in this era, this fighter is basically useless and is a dead end if it is discovered. General Bagramiyan, who is dispatching troops in Baku, knows the existence of this fighter, or the Soviet Union knows it, but he has no obligation to remind the Middle Eastern people. The radar that can detect this fighter is not given to the Iran-Iran alliance.
At this time, the f117 stealth fighter approached the target at a very slow flight speed. Because the maneuverability is so poor that it cannot get fast. After reaching the range of the agm-88 Hamm anti-radiation missile, the pilot immediately pressed the launch button, and at the same time flew the plane and turned around, fleeing the battlefield at high speed with his back to the high-speed agm-88 Hamm anti-radiation missile. The f117 stealth fight cannot fight when it encounters any fighter, and is discovered to be destroyed. The US pilot knew this characteristic well, so he chose to retreat without hesitation.
A few minutes later, the radar station that had been operating was directly hit, and the flames soaring into the sky ignited the night sky. The two colleagues didn't have to argue again this time whether the radar was really monitoring the air strike signal. After pulling out this nail, a large number of fighter planes rushed into Iraqi airspace.
