Dominate South Asia

In beyond-visual-range air combat, electronic systems are very important. The side with electronic advantages will have an advantage, especially the side with active guided air-to-air missiles.

In later generations, the Chinese army was equipped with the Su-27 and introduced the R-27 missile, which enabled them to attack beyond visual range for the first time. However, at the same time, the United States already had the AIM-120 missile with active radar guidance. At that time, the Chinese Air Force studied various tactics and wanted to use semi-active radar missiles to deal with active radar missiles. The final result of the research was only one, that is, if you want to fight against active radar missiles, you must also have the same active radar missiles!

This is the advantage of the generation gap. Relying on this generation gap and technological advantages, the world gangster of the United States can show off its power everywhere.

Now, when their advantage has been cracked, this plug-in has been blocked, and the two sides are back to the same starting line again.

And when close combat begins, the advantages of Soviet fighters will be brought into play!

Although the operation is very cumbersome and it takes a lot of buttons to launch a missile, the R-73 missile for close-range combat mounted on the Su-27 fighter jet far exceeds the performance of the American AIM-9M. The entire flight envelope is much wider than the Sidewinder. For example, the off-axis combat capability of the basic R-73 missile reaches 40 degrees, and the improved version is as high as 60! The off-axis launch capability of the Sidewinder missile does not exceed 30 degrees!

Even a difference of ten degrees will make American pilots shrink back. When the R-73 appears, the Americans will continue to increase their research and development efforts. Only when they successfully developed the AIM-9X can they be considered relieved.

And now, Alex led the Su-27 fleet and rushed over from high altitude. At a distance of ten kilometers, Alex turned his head and put the enemy plane on his helmet sight. When a familiar voice came from the headset, he pressed the red button on the joystick.

An R-73 missile, detached from under the wing, just flew out with thick smoke, and immediately made a high-overload turn, with the thrust vector controlling the missile body. It was instantly pointed at the target.

In addition to the ability to launch with large off-axis, high maneuverability is also required! This maneuverability is controlled by thrust vectoring, especially in the early stage of launch, when the missile body speed is low and the control torque of the aerodynamic control surface is small, the effect of thrust vectoring is more obvious.

At this time, Tollet was still waiting for the opponent to break into the flight envelope of his Sidewinder missile. Seeing that the opponent launched a missile attack in an impossible direction, Tollet was shocked. He turned on the afterburner and climbed upwards, hoping to consume the energy of the opponent's missile.

Unfortunately. The power range of the R-73 missile exceeded ten kilometers. After Tollet was pulled up, the hot tail flame gave the R-73 better guidance. A few seconds later, Tollet's chrysanthemum was exploded.

Pulling the ejection handle, Tollet's body was accelerating rapidly. Coming out of the cockpit, he felt very uncomfortable when he saw that his fighter plane was on fire. At the same time, his mind was thinking rapidly. The territory below was all Iraqi territory! His side dropped bombs every day, and the Iraqis had a deep hatred for him. If he was caught by the Iraqis, his biggest luxury was to die a minute earlier.

What awaited him was a severe test of survival.

After killing two American fighter planes neatly, Alex shook the wings to regroup his formation. Then he rushed to the next target with murderous intent.

They refused to take off to fight before, not because they were not brave. But they knew that with Iraq's combat system, they could not compete with the United States, and taking off would mean death. Now, this situation is in their favor. They must fight bravely. If they shoot down an enemy plane, they will get a reward of one million US dollars.

On this day, fierce battles broke out everywhere in the sky. In the later period, not only the MiG-29 and Su-27, but even the lagging J-7 from China took off and achieved several victories. The Americans were surprised to find that this fighter similar to the MiG-21 had a close-range combat capability that was almost as good as the F-16, a product of the energy maneuverability theory.

Faced with such losses, the United States could only temporarily admit defeat and no longer send fighters to the Iraqi sky to avoid greater losses.

The Iraqi sky was quiet, but everyone knew that this was just a precursor to a large-scale military operation.

Saddam in Iraq was a stubborn guy and would definitely not admit defeat directly. This sudden air counterattack by Iraq was just the beginning!

At 2 a.m. on June 27, everything was silent.

Only some insects and reptiles in the desert took advantage of the night to get out of the desert and use the temperature drop at night to find food. There was silence everywhere, with only the occasional sound of the wind blowing the yellow sand and making the unique whirring sound in the desert.

At the Iraq-Kuwait border, a long convoy, without lights on, headed for the border in the dark. In the desert, they marched forward without hesitation.

The dark night concealed their whereabouts.

The existence of large-scale blocking interference reduced the coalition's night bombing. Before they figured out a way to crack Iraq's self-harming tactics, they were more likely to park on the airport runway and in the hangar. At this time, the busiest people should be the US military workers, who need to find a way to restrain this interference.

The motor roared, and the huge off-road tires kept turning in the desert, stirring up the yellow sand and leaving deep ruts.

In the car sat an Iraqi general, Lieutenant General Noha-Mohammed-Shehri. This bearded Iraqi general held a luminous scale in his hand to determine their position.

"Stop!" He raised his hand and stopped the vehicle.

Noha compared the map, looked at the scale, and said: "Use starlight navigation to determine our position. This should be our preset position!"

Electromagnetic interference also blocked the GPS signal. If you want to accurately locate in the desert, you have to use the original means. And their positioning must be accurate, which is related to their strike accuracy.

The stars in the sky are shining with cold light. Using starlight to locate is a method used in the ancient era of navigation.

After determining the position, the vehicles in the convoy began to gradually set up a launch position.

Through the dark night, it can be seen that these vehicles are all Iraqi missile launchers. On the four-axle off-road chassis, the bulging missiles showed a ferocious appearance. There were so many missiles that they almost occupied several square kilometers of land around.

If it was before, Iraq's missile forces would never dare to mobilize on such a large scale, which would definitely be discovered by the US early warning aircraft, and then call in a large number of air strike forces to destroy Iraq's trump card.

Now, relying on the successful implementation of electromagnetic interference again and the unremitting efforts of the air force, they have finally curbed the attack of the US-led air force. Without those annoying flies on their heads, they can launch this large-scale operation!

In this operation, Saddam not only drove out all the remaining 150 Scud missile vehicles (with 300 missiles left), but also the most advanced 20 SS-21 "Tochka" ground-to-ground missiles (with 40 missiles) and 10 SS-23 "Spider" ground-to-ground missiles (with 20 missiles) purchased from Xiao.

At this time, if you still say that the Soviets did not participate in the secret arms sales to Iraq, no one will believe it. After all, these two new types of ground-to-ground missiles are only available to the Soviets!

In particular, these missiles are solid ballistic missiles, which can be fired and run, without the need for time to refuel like the Scud, and the strike accuracy is very high.

Moreover, it can be seen from this that when the United States and the Soviet Union reached the Intermediate-Range Missile Treaty and completely destroyed the medium- and short-range missiles of both sides, both sides had a backhand. Otherwise, missiles like SS-23 should have been completely destroyed long ago, so how could they flow into Iraq through Xiao's channels?

Remembering that he was backed by the Soviet Union, Saddam was not alone at all.

Including this offensive plan, it was all provided by Xiao. This plan was too clever, and it was definitely not planned by an arms dealer like Xiao. There must be a huge team behind it, that is, the guys in Moscow.

Saddam will never know that it is not the Soviet Union behind it. Some of the help provided by the Soviet Union is just Saddam's request. The real maker of these plans is the young man far away in South Asia. And these ballistic missiles that had long disappeared from the Soviet equipment sequence were not pulled out from a secret warehouse in the Soviet Union, but were copied by Pakistan.

Now, the huge strike force, 180 missile launchers, like a giant beast ready to choose its prey, ready to show its hideous face at any time and launch a deadly attack.

A small team of Iraqi Republican Guards dispersed, and more than ten minutes later, a scout covered in sand and wearing desert camouflage came over.

Noha asked him some questions, such as the movements of the coalition forces in Kuwait. He took out a laptop from the cab. Following the soldier, he walked towards the sand pile in the distance.

Under a sand pile, there is an Iraqi hidden outpost. Through this outpost, the Iraqi side can know the movements of the US military at the first time.

There are many hidden outposts like this, in the southeast direction, in addition to the battlefield front facing Kuwait, in the south and southwest. There are also many hidden outposts facing the Saudi border.

Each outpost relies on shallow buried lines to keep in touch with the rear. Therefore, the coalition forces are blinded by the electromagnetic interference, while the Iraqi side still maintains a clear control of the battlefield. Without radar, they can also observe the fighter planes in the sky with their naked eyes. (To be continued ~^~)
