Super military empire

Is Saddam going to cry?

not at all.At this time, Saddam didn't feel sleepy at all, but looked at the movement tracks of these fighters on the radar screen in front of him with a smile on his face.

"How many of our air defense forces can cover them? Are the S-300 missiles ready?" The president felt that the missiles provided by the Soviets should be tested.

These missiles were deployed in the most heavily defended area of ​​Baghdad, and could have been attacked from dozens of kilometers away.However, Mr. President did not.

The anti-aircraft artillery units have cut off the retreat of the US Air Force. Of course, if they detour, they will certainly not be cut off.To the south, there is dense anti-aircraft firepower.

"President, we are not suitable for using anti-aircraft missiles like s-300. It is too wasteful. We have a large number of Houyi anti-aircraft missiles. At such a distance, these missiles should be used to kill the U.S. military!"

Hashim suggested.

The Chinese missiles are more reliable for them. Although the Soviets have better technology than China, they have not been tested in actual combat.

From the beginning of the war to the present, the weapons and equipment of the Chinese were actually used to establish the marvelous achievements.

"It is not suitable to fire on them now. That area is our factory area. Once we expose the anti-aircraft firepower, the Americans will focus on this area. The hidden hangars we built and the highways that can be used as airport runways will all be exposed to the air. Bombing..." Liu Suxue shook his head.

It is to avoid American aerial bombardment. So in the past few years, when Iraq was vigorously building factories, many hangars were built in these factory areas. The outside looks like the workshops of the factories. You can’t see the basics inside. I can't see clearly.

Even if the roads outside the factory and the roads inside are very flat, who can say anything?

The most important thing in Iraq is oil. Is it lack of oil-related things such as asphalt?

As for the site?Lack of land in the suburbs of Baghdad?The road between the factories was originally built very wide.

"What's more, now is not the best time. Today we have killed hundreds of American aircraft, most of them are their most advanced fighters. Therefore, they will definitely carry out air strikes on Baghdad. These fighters may be like ours. Air Force fighters are also trying to attract them!"

"Since they have been attracted, there are hundreds of them!" Saddam was a little dissatisfied.

He doesn't like people gesticulating his command.

"President, when you look at hundreds of fighters, only a few really come in. The others are circling outside the airspace of Baghdad. If we expose our air defense positions, we will face a larger number of bomber air strikes. , How do we respond?" Liu Suxue's words made Saddam dispel his thoughts.

In King Khalid’s military city, the headquarters saw satellite images showing hundreds of warplanes rushing towards Baghdad, and immediately burst into tears.

Yes, the American pilots predicted that Saddam would cry, but Saddam laughed.

The officers of the headquarters who were forgotten by them were really about to cry.

"Commander, they have closed the radio call..." The communications staff's words undoubtedly made them even more desperate.

Fortunately, these fighters dispersed before Baghdad ground anti-aircraft artillery fired. Although ground artillery fire continued, there was only one area in the south, and the other areas had no anti-aircraft firepower at all.The small green dots in the sky representing the number of US military fighters have not disappeared.

"Do everything possible to contact them and let them come back!" Schwarzkopf hasn't rested for a long time, and his mental state is very poor.

"No, their fuel will tell them when they should come back. They are investigating Baghdad's air defense firepower net... this area belongs to the outskirts of Baghdad, and there is no valuable core target! So, they did not deploy much air defense firepower. ......" Eyes have been staring at the image returned by the reconnaissance plane in the sky.

The entire formation was very scattered and circled around Baghdad.

The other fighters were clearly executing their orders to block the airspace of Baghdad.

"There is no valuable target? Their fighters disappeared in this area!" Schwarzkopf obviously disagrees with this view.

His mental state is very poor and his physical exertion is also heavy. At this time, he is a little weak in speaking.

"Our reconnaissance planes have not found their fighter group before. This is obviously using them at night to fly close to the ground. Radiation from the ground can effectively interfere with our detection signals. The purpose of the Iraqis is to attract our attention. They bombed the factory area and suburban towns..." Powell would not believe that the Iraqis could secretly hide the fighter planes in the surrounding factory areas.

After all, Baghdad’s military airport is more than ten kilometers away.

It is impossible for them not to park the fighter plane around the airport, but to abandon the airport.

Although he has completely lost trust in the CIA, he does not believe that even such a thing cannot be done. If there is no intelligence at all, what else can he do?

"Where is the Nighthawk formation? How long will it take to missile Baghdad? How long will it take? Is it possible to carry out an aerial bombardment of Baghdad before dawn?" Powell asked about their stealth fighter formation.

F117, from the original plan, is to carry out the first wave of attacks on the Iraqi capital Baghdad.

The United States Air Force 37tfw Company has three squadrons, 415tfs, 416tfs, and 417tfs.A total of 59 F117 and F117a stealth strategic bombers are equipped.

Among them, the 415th Squadron subordinates 22 f117 stealth bombers, the 416th Squadron subordinates 22 f117a stealth bombers, and the remaining 417th Squadron, which itself is the refitting training squadron of the 37th Company, was not deployed to the Middle East at this time.

44 stealth fighters were deployed here for a few months. Even before that, the Americans asked Saudi Arabia to build a new stealth base in Khamis Mushait, and all fighters were parked in the reinforced hangar.

Every day, these stealth bombers need to go through a mission to simulate the bombing of Iraq.

It is mainly used for the pilots of these fighters to familiarize themselves with Iraq to avoid accidents.

On this evening, these huge stealth fighters, led by a huge aerial tanker, quickly flew towards Iraq.

Stealth fighters have been put into actual combat on a large scale for the first time in this world.In the previous Panama War, f117s were tested in actual combat by only a small number, and there was no major battle at all. This time, the US military attacked Iraq and placed high hopes on them.

At night, this kind of fighter with stealth, subsonic cruising, super maneuverability, and super information superiority can minimize the chance of being discovered!During the day, the naked eye can see far away.

Only by using such fighters to accurately strike the radar station and command center in Baghdad, Baghdad will become blind, and the air defense system can only shoot blindly at the sky. In this way, it is easy to detect the most tightly defended The deployment of Baghdad, and then, during the day, the fighter group was able to use precision-guided air-to-surface missiles to strike accurately.

Therefore, no matter in the original combat plan or the current combat plan, high hopes are placed on these fighters.

Therefore, Powell hopes that these fighters can complete their mission before dawn.

"We haven't reached the border yet, and we are expected to reach the designated airspace in one hour. Refuel before the border, our tanker formation returned, and the Nighthawk Squadron carried out aerial bombardments of Baghdad and Fallujah..." the staff officer told Powell.

"From the Haymis Mushait base to Baghdad, there is only a straight line distance of 1,060 kilometers. It takes such a long time?" Powell frowned.

Previously, these bomber preparations started at 12 o'clock in the morning.

The radar station in Nukhab was destroyed when the war started. The 24th Infantry Division occupied this Iraqi border town and turned it into a logistics transit transportation base. In this way, the helicopter troops were Can effectively support the armored forces in front.

The original bomber formation, under such circumstances, had to carry out the bombing of Baghdad.

The air defense firepower over Iraq was originally worrying. Now the 415th Squadron in the base has lost three fighters during the day. Although the headquarters has not announced the state of the country, the entire team has not seen their colleagues or seen them. It's impossible for the fighters sent out to return home without thinking.

If it were not for the surprise attack by the Iraqi Air Force, Powell was prepared to let the bombing proceed later.

Iraq’s radar system can definitely see these stealth fighters.

The design of this bomber is not very mature.

"Commander, we have just issued an order for less than an hour. Moreover, in order to achieve better results in the first wave of strikes, our bombers carry a large number of ammunition, so we need to refuel at the border through aerial tankers. At present. In the case of circumstance, it should be fueling.

Indeed, at this time, in the famous Nighthawk Squadron, the world's first practical stealth fighter, at this time, the huge formation is slowly crossing the border area.

On both sides of the wings of every huge aerial tanker, a black fighter was followed. The long tube connected the fighter to the black bomber that was much smaller and weird like a bat.At the moment of flying across the border, the two front fighter planes disconnected from the pipes between the tankers and sank below...
