Chapter 574 Missile Sea (Additional Update 1)

The best way to deal with Americans is a sea of ​​missiles!

The preparation process of the Scud missile is long, and the regular operating procedures take as much as half an hour. For example, before launching, it is necessary to refuel, determine one's own position, the target position, and calculate the trajectory. However, now, this process has been greatly simplified.

The most complicated refueling process was completed before the deployment. Although this was not safe, in later generations, US military aircraft searched for Iraqi Scud missiles on the ground every day, and Iraq had to hit and run. If it stayed for one more minute, countless fighters would come to greet it. In this case, they used this method, refueling in advance, and after standing it up, they would hit and run!

In the Iraqi Scud missile formation, several mercenary consultants were working intensively. These people were wearing Iraqi military uniforms, but their appearance did not look like Middle Eastern people at all. Their high and raised noses gave them obvious Slavic features.

Their fingers flew across the keyboard, and soon, the instructions were transmitted one by one.

Get in touch with the navigation satellite in the sky and locate your position instantly!

Historically, the Soviet Union's navigation satellite project GLONASS was launched in 1976. After continuous improvements, it began to launch the initial simulation satellites and navigation satellites in 1982. The lifespan of these satellites was quite short, less than two years. After that, it was not until 1987 that satellites with longer lifespans were launched into space.

Now, this satellite navigation project has been greatly advanced. With the support of Andrei, Marshal Ogarkov carried out the information and digitalization of the army ahead of schedule. Among these projects, the positioning of the army is a key project. Therefore, the progress of navigation satellites is quite rapid. Moreover, relying on the advanced electronic technology obtained from the island country, the six navigation satellites launched in the early stage had an in-orbit life of five years. After that, several satellites were launched successively during the Iran War to fill the blind spots over Iran, and several more have been launched in the current Middle East war. In this way, the number of navigation satellites in orbit has reached 16, which has perfectly covered the entire northern hemisphere.

Using the navigation satellite terminal, the location was quickly determined. At the same time, the control system of the Scud missile had also been upgraded, and the launch vehicle quickly calculated various launch parameters. The entire process took only five minutes!

"Fire!" As the order was issued, a beam of hot light emerged from the tail of the already erected Scud missile. Unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine and red-smoking nitric acid were injected into the engine and ignited. Under the huge thrust, the body of the Scud missile trembled a few times and then took off from the ground!

Launch, launch! Missiles rose into the sky one after another, their flickering tail flames and the howling of death as they rushed into space!

The launch of more than one hundred missiles was a spectacular scene, so much so that a ballistic missile early warning satellite cruising in space was alarmed. It turned its body and captured the rising flames of the missiles with its lens. Then, the early warning signal was transmitted through the relay satellite.

Ballistic missile warning! A large number of ballistic missiles have taken off from deep in Saudi Arabia's Dehna Desert! The trajectories of these ballistic missiles are being calculated!

Even if the target is unknown and has not been calculated, the Americans can guess the purpose of this batch of ballistic missiles!

Prince Sultan Air Base.

A sharp alarm sounded, and the entire base was in chaos.

The fighter planes already on the runway turned on the afterburners and left the runway in the shortest possible time, while more fighter planes were quickly towed to the reinforced hangar by tractors!

The E-3 early warning aircraft, which had taken off only three minutes ago, had already turned on its radar while still in the climb phase, quickly scanning the surrounding airspace. Then, the radar operator screamed: "Those missiles are heading towards our Prince Sultan Air Force Base!"

Prince Sultan Air Force Base! The headquarters of the United States and European vassal states in Saudi Arabia! Almost all air forces are deployed here! Even the United States Middle East Command is here! The highest commander of the United States is also here!

And now, the Iraqis have launched hundreds of ballistic missiles like crazy! These light spots are so dense that they can't be counted!

Powell's face had turned pale. Last night, they had the opportunity to intercept the Iraqi army. However, the interception at night would not be very effective. Moreover, once their fighter jets were dispatched, the Iraqis would also be dispatched in large numbers, and fierce air battles would break out at night. In this case, the advantages of their A-10 attack aircraft and armed helicopters could not be brought into play. Therefore, he proposed the strategy of sending the Iraqis deep in the desert, away from the Iraqi mainland.

There was nothing wrong with such a plan, but no one expected that the troops rushing over from Iraq included not only tank soldiers and mechanized infantry from the army, but also missile soldiers!

And this mistake will cost them their lives!

In the Soviet military sequence, artillery has always occupied a major position, and Scud missiles, in the Soviet military equipment sequence, were directly equipped to division-level troops, acting as the frontline strike force of the troops, destroying key targets, airports, military bases, power plants and other facilities of the enemy within a distance of 300 kilometers.

And now, Iraq has obtained these Scud missiles from the Soviet Union, and they are also being organized according to the Soviet military organization!

Historically, the Iran-Iraq War in 1988 turned into a missile war, with both sides launching large numbers of Scud missiles at each other. Therefore, during the Gulf War in 1991, the US military had already anticipated a large number of Scud missiles from the Iraqi army, and their focus was on these Scud missiles. Even so, the Scud missiles also caused some damage to the US military, and the intimidation effect was more obvious.

But now, the top brass of the US military had not really anticipated such a battle. According to their intelligence, the total number of Scud missiles in Iraq was less than fifty, and there were only a dozen launch vehicles!

The sea of ​​missiles has arrived!

An A-10 attack aircraft took off forcefully on the runway. The two TF-34 engines above the rear fuselage were roaring, but its severely insufficient thrust-to-weight ratio required it to taxi on the runway for more than a thousand meters before it could take off.

Pull up, pull up! The pilot kept shouting. The number of hangars was limited and all were given to F-15s and F-16s. This special attack aircraft could not be assigned to a hangar, so it had to take off forcibly.

However, before the missile was pulled up, the flying bullets were infinitely magnified in the pilot's pupils.

“FUCK!”
