Soviet Union 1991

First update

On the first day when the Soviet Air Force's first batch of MiG-29s and Su-27s were delivered to Damascus, the US military suddenly dispatched fighter jets to attack a town in the southern border area of ​​Hasakah Province. The attack did not cause too many casualties, but it did It shocked Syrian President Assad. He believed that this provocative bombing campaign was directed at the military base of the 121st Regiment in the south.

Just as the Syrian side was carrying out strong protests and condemnations, Washington issued an insincere press apology conference. They said that Syria's cross-border bombing was just a small misunderstanding because CIA intelligence showed that Saddam Hussein The senior military officers around him were fleeing across the border towards Syria, and intelligence showed that he was hiding in the town where the air strike was carried out.

In the face of American provocation, even if Assad could swallow his anger, the Soviet Union could not tolerate it. Just after emphasizing the unbreakable military alliance between the two countries, he was attacked by U.S. fighter jets in the blink of an eye. This was tantamount to a slap on Moscow's face, so Yanayev decided to do something to respond to the U.S. military's attack. This air raid.

Since the US military dares to carry out cross-border bombing, the Soviet air force base stationed at Assad Airport in northwest Syria also dares to respond to provocations with bombing. However, Yanayev called Assad first, and the two sides conducted a communication agreement, expressing that the Soviet Union was willing to help Syria and give a small response to the U.S. provocation.

"Bombing the Iraqi opposition forces supported by the United States? But will doing so cause the US military to further expand the conflict? After all, the United States may use this as an excuse to launch a war against Syria." Assad did not expect Yanaye The proposal put forward by the husband is actually so bold. However, the air strike against the US-backed opposition not only made clear his anti-American stance, but also avoided the act of declaring war on the United States. At the same time, it also stimulated the nerves of the Americans. For Syria, It is indeed the most correct choice.

"The bombing of U.S.-backed opposition forces is the best expression of the Iraqi issue. This is the most subtle protest in Syria, and it will not arouse the nerves of Americans. We have not only combated the arrogance of U.S. allies, but also avoided confrontation with The direct declaration of war by the United States lets them know one thing. The Soviet Union’s allies are definitely not something that the United States can bully.”

"As for launching a war against Syria, I think the United States is not that confused yet. The United States will not rashly launch a new war before Iraq has fully digested it, so even if we also respond with air strikes. As long as the bombing If it weren’t for the US military, the other side would choose to remain deaf and dumb.”

Just as the opposition began to consolidate urban areas in southern Iraq and Saddam's government forces gradually withdrew, Soviet pilots flew Su-27 fighter jets to launch a thrilling bombing trip. Their goal was to destroy Fei in Anbar Province. Lu Jie. The Sunni protest camp used this as a foundation and launched a month-long battle with the government forces. Since Saddam's government forces had no time to take control of this area, the protest camps gradually gained ground among Saddam's forces. When they evacuated, they slowly took control of most of the province, and began to grow further with the support of US military assistance.

For Yanayev, this is indeed an excellent target for air strikes, and Fallujah, which is full of opposition, naturally became the first target of the Syrian Air Force.

In Kabal Province, which does not have any anti-aircraft firepower, the Su-27 fighter jets crossing the border are the absolute air supremacy in this area. The opposition will not have such things as SAM missiles to target the Su-27 fighter jets, if conditions permit. The Su-27 can even move the Soviet Union's Tu-95 domestically and carry out carpet bombing strikes in Anbar Province.

The Su-27 lurking in the sky began to approach Fallujah. This city of Qing-Jin Temple, which had not been baptized by many wars, would face the impact of the communist war.

The Su-27 fighter jets have arrived at the scheduled bombing area. Below is the area of ​​influence occupied by the Sunni protest camp militias. Armed pickup trucks can be seen patrolling on the streets. The militiamen are consolidating the defenses in this area to prevent one day from being invaded by the Sunni protest camp. Damn's army is back here.

After the last sporadic fighting ended a week ago, Saddam's government forces have disappeared from this area. It has also officially declared that Fallujah has changed from an orderly city to a chaotic killing area. Various opposition factions are fighting for their common destiny. After the enemy is driven out. There are cracks and estrangements between many parties.

The militias in the protest camps began to encroach on the weak factions, and with the support of US funds and arms, they continued to recruit new members. The number of people in the protest camps has grown from more than 1,000 at the beginning to 6,000 or 7,000, becoming an important part of the security camp. The largest armed force in Bar Province. Of course, it also became the first military target of the Su-27.

The incendiary bombs, produced by All-Russian Defense Export Corporation, were carefully selected gifts from the Soviet Union for the Qing-Jin Temple in Fallujah. This type of large-scale destructive bomb is specially designed to deal with live forces and buildings. When the bomb hits the target, it first ignites the gunpowder, causing the napalm to burn and explode, spreading to the target area and causing a large amount of burning and damage. Turn this steaming city into a burning hell, and burn all the opposition armed forces to death under the wrath of the Soviet Union.

To this end, Yanayev dispatched all the Suiho fighter jets that arrived at Assad Airport in one go. The bomb load of the four Su-27s was enough to turn the militiamen in the protest camp into burning corpses.

While these extreme believers were still further persecuting the secular regime. The Soviet air reaper was ready to send these people to meet their real pig Anla.

"We have arrived at the designated area and can drop bombs."

The Soviet fighter pilots dropped all the bombs on the designated area just like in the previous training period. According to intelligence, that was the base camp of the opposition. After controlling the urban area of ​​Fallujah, the militia used the southern part of the city as a base and further radiated their influence to the surrounding towns.

The not-so-dense incendiary bombs were dropped towards the locked area on the display. The moment they reached the ground, the orange-red fireballs emitted by the incendiary bombs covered the entire southern area. After the fireballs rose, there was billowing smoke. Those religious armed personnel who did not have time to evacuate were directly burned into charred bodies by the fireballs.

The armed pickups patrolling the streets turned into burning scrap metal. After the airstrike, the streets were full of the pungent smell of gasoline and charred bodies that were still burning.

"Well done, comrades. Burn these damn green beasts to death."

The heart-wrenching wail resounded throughout Fallujah. Before the armed personnel on the ground could figure out what was going on, the Su-27 had disappeared over Kabar Province. This was undoubtedly the most severe blow suffered by the Sunni militia since its establishment. Even when fighting with the government forces, they did not encounter such losses. The Soviet pilots slowed down the armed militia's advance with just an unexpected air strike.

This air strike undoubtedly enhanced the confidence of the Syrian Air Force. This was also the first time that the Syrian Air Force showed its amazing combat quality after the air battle in the Bekaa Valley. It seemed that overnight, the Syrian Air Force had changed from a weak sick cat to a lion that all opponents looked at.

Syria claimed that this was a response to the fighter jets that invaded the Syrian border. Assad said that with the help of the Soviet Union, they would build a strong air force to deal with any enemy invasion and attack, and they would expel all enemies who attempted to overthrow the Assad regime from the land of Syria!

When this was said, the first to feel terrified was the United States. They didn't believe that Syria had such terrible combat strength. How could these pilots, who had less than half the weekly flight training time of American pilots, carry out a long-distance attack? The most likely possibility was that the airstrike was carefully planned by the Soviet Union.

And what Assad said to the United States was also what the Soviet Union wanted to express. It warned the United States not to pay attention to Damascus. As long as the Soviet Union was still there, the United States would never be able to get involved in Syria. (To be continued.)
