Chapter 1021 Assembly
On that day, an improved Scud Tactical Ballistic Missile dragged a long tail flame and launched a long sky from central Iraq, quickly passing through the atmosphere and entering the flight trajectory that attacked the Saudi Arabian capital Riyadh.
Sixteen seconds later, a US missile early warning satellite running in a geostationary orbit of more than 300 kilometers at an emergency alarm. The infrared telescope with a high-sensitivity infrared scanner began to track the fountain of the "Scud" missile, and at the same time, it used a high-resolution visible-light TV camera with a telescope for tracking and shooting, and transmitted the missile's flight trajectory, flight speed, direction, ballistic inclination and position to the ground station in real time.
After all ground preparations are completed, the command center ordered the launch, and the Patriot missile was launched at a 38° inclination angle and changed the flight trajectory according to the preset procedure. At the same time, the ground phased array radar continued to track the Patriot in the flight, and issued instructions in time according to the actual flight conditions to correct the flight trajectory.
When the "Patriot" enters the last flight, its bullet actively "automatically searches for the head" and starts working, and in real time feedbacks the "Scud" ballistic parameters it captured to the ground charge center. Based on the received relative angle deviation data, the accusation center quickly feedbacks the corrected instructions to the "Patriot". The "Patriot" approaches the Scud according to the precise calculation of the intercepting trajectory, and both die together.
This is the picture of the Pentagon in the United States responsive to the Iran-Iraq Scud missile. When the news came, the whole world was silent. I was deeply shocked by the United States' superb technological capabilities. Even Baghdad and Tehran were in urgent communication with Moscow. Selov called back, "The Patriot air defense interception system is useful, but it definitely does not have such an exaggerated effect. Moreover, the cost of American products far exceeds that of Soviet missiles. The United States will suffer if it continues to be shot."
The success rate of the Patriots intercepted in the Gulf War is said to be 10%, which is what the United States claims to be. In fact, it is only 4%. Later generations said that Patriots can intercept the Scud with a success rate of 90%. It is purely because Americans in the 21st century bragging themselves. I really think that people have forgotten the Gulf War for a long time.
"When the time comes, let them see what a real stealth fighter is!" Selov, who put down his telescope, murmured to himself. On his head, several fighters that were somewhat different from the usual fighter jets, ejected blue tail flames and disappeared into the sky. For a month, the United States bombed in the Soviet protests, overwhelmingly gaining air superiority over Iraq and Iran.
It seems that the repetition of the United States' unilateral attack on Iraq in the Gulf War, but the details are still different. Iraq and Iran are not as good as not being able to fight back. Four or five hundred Scud missiles also hit a large number of targets in Saudi Arabia.
At the beginning, the United States claimed that the Patriot air defense system's record against Scud was perfect. However, as the missile attack continued, the real interception success rate was exposed, because the casualties of the Scud missile attack began to be reported by domestic media in the United States. Of course, this is still far lower than the US's psychological endurance. It is basically impossible to make the American people oppose the withdrawal of troops in the war.
"Comrade Uffimochev, the Americans have realized your theory. I don't know what you, the person involved, thinks." Selov patted Uffimochev's shoulder and said without caring at all, "I will charge some interest for this kind of stealing."
"I didn't expect that the theories I published in my early years would be carried forward in the hands of our enemies. Are I more beneficial to my motherland? Or are more harmful to my country? I didn't expect that they would be learned from by the enemy." Uffimochev shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"What about the Americans who blame our country for the lack of attention to intellectual property? When we learn from them, we mention intellectual property rights, and when they quote us, we don't mention anything." Selov stopped the trail, "No matter what, I will not blame the United States for such untenable reasons. We have better now, right?"
According to Uffimochev's theory, the radar scattering cross-sectional area of the conductor can be accurately calculated for approximation, and regardless of the size and weight of the aircraft, it can be designed to be invisible. Since former Soviet officials at that time had no understanding of the concept and importance of stealth, after official review, this theory was considered to have no military value, so no confidentiality measures were taken at all, and the paper was publicly published. At the same time, in order to collect and understand the progress made by the Soviet Union in radar technology, the US Air Force collected and translated a large amount of Russian literature.
However, Selov knew about this. He didn't know the F117 that the Americans made, and he also knew that the first generation of stealth fighters, in addition to being invisible, had zero survivability as long as they were found. He began to allocate funds to support Uffimochev to continue his research, and used his power to find aerodynamic experts and materials experts to establish the Uffimochev Institute.
Today, there is still no stealth fighter jets from the 21st century, but the anti-radar coating has made progress. F117 fighter jets, which have no self-defense capabilities, is like adults hitting children.
The two allies of the Soviet Union were bombarded by the United States for a month. What the Soviet Union could do was not just watch. Recently, Selov and General Bagramiyan frequently communicated frequently. In a month, the Soviet Union could basically see clearly how the United States fought now. It is indeed very different from the Vietnam War period, and the technology is more advanced. The US military has become more proficient in using the leading generation of technology to play fancy beatings.
Selov repeatedly confirmed to General Bagramiyan that if it were replaced by the Soviet Red Army, could it stand up to the attack of the US Air Force. General Bagramiyan, who was in Baku, had no problem with replying. With the current US Air Force in the Gulf region, the Soviet tank army could withstand it.
Of course, it is not all good news. Selov is more worried about the US's land aviation power, that is, the Apache armed helicopter group. Strictly speaking, the Apache armed helicopter group in the hands of the US military is much more advanced than the female deer armed helicopters in the Soviet Union. The female deer armed helicopter has been in service for more than fifteen years, and the Apache armed helicopter has only been in production for three years. If the latecomer does not use the new technology on the product, there is no need to mention others, Selov looks down on the Americans.
"The Apache of the 227th China Airlines brigade needs special attention. You have 1,200 helicopters in your hand, of which 740 female deer are two or five times that of Apache. You must not let your opponents live." Selov, holding the phone, said in a low voice.
"Don't worry, Yula, as long as the Air Force is in place, I will never let those Apaches leave the Middle East alive." General Bagramiyan assured, "the only concern is how we can get the American aircraft carrier battle group to retreat and reach a compromise."
"When the time comes, kill the Royal Ark first and try the waters, to prove that we have the ability to send them to the seabed. Looking at the reaction, the Americans must consider that the Soviet Union had 40,000 nuclear bombs, which not only could blow up American cities, but also villages with more than one thousand people!" Shelov looked at his watch with a phone call and said, "I guess the air raids will end in these few days. If the United States does not engage in ground war, this matter will be fine. If the ground war begins..."
"The Soviet Red Army cannot avoid the country's expectations, even if it is to die." General Bagramiyan's voice was firm.
For a long time, both of them were silent. Listening to each other's breathing from the microphone, Selov said with difficulty, "Brother, soldiers should not be given up. When it comes to the time when I take responsibility, it is better for me, a secret policeman with a bad reputation."
"Have all equipment been tested? We must respond to the strongest state." General Bagramiyan ordered that US aircraft, tanks, infantry combat vehicles and even individual weapons are equipped with night vision equipment such as infrared night vision devices, laser night vision instruments and infrared thermal imaging equipment. This allows US military weapons and equipment to exert the same combat effectiveness as during the day at night, allowing US military to fight continuously day and night, strike the Iraqi army more effectively, and advance the process of battle faster. Of course, the Soviet Union used t54 to touch the stones. This time, none of the troops under the Southern War Zone used t54 and also changed their clothes.
The US military is well aware of it. In addition to the spy satellites that the Soviet Union urgently launched into the Persian Gulf, there is another thing that is the giant long-range radar in the Red Star Warfare Plan. This radar that can be regarded as a landmark is in the valley of the municipality of Baku, directly facing the south to feedback the situation of the entire Persian Gulf back to the Soviet Union.
After the thirty-three days after the air strike lasted, when Selov talked about the war again, his tone had become very solemn, "If the current war is for punishment, the intensity of the war is already good. I must ask President Bush to seriously consider the issue of the ceasefire, and do not continue to expand the war and return to negotiations to resolve the Gulf crisis. Expanding the war is not a good choice, it is a very dangerous move to play with fire."
The Soviet Union's peaceful mediation has been underway for a month. During this month, the Soviet Union's attitude has changed significantly from being ambiguous at the beginning to now. His tone has also begun to turn tough, and even mentioned the friendly and mutual aid treaty with the Iraq and the Iranian governments, which of course was to prevent the beginning of ground wars.
Air strikes cannot defeat a country, and Iraq will not take the initiative to withdraw its troops. Although it has suffered considerable damage during the bombing, as long as it still occupys Kuwait, it will be a great victory. However, it is obvious that the United States cannot breathe it out in just a few blows.
"The United States must ensure that the sovereignty of Kuwait and Bahrain is intact and there will be no change." The White House's attitude has not changed.
