Chapter 873: "Falcon" VS "Scud" (Medium)
The air raid siren chase the soul generally rises in the sky above Darlan, and Clark, who is broadcasting live, has a blue face, and hurriedly beckons the cameraman around him to run towards the nearest air raid bunker, and the other coalition soldiers around him are also in the same action, one by one, scrambling to be the first to complain that his father and mother have given him two legs;
Ironically, just a few hundred meters away, the US military's "Patriot" air defense missile position stands tall in the wilderness, and it stands to reason that this set of air defense interception systems, which is claimed to be the most advanced in the world, is placed here, so that people will not panic because of the sudden sound of air defense sirens.
However, the sad thing is that due to the failure of the previous interception, the confidence built up by the "Patriot" has long since collapsed, not to mention that even Clark, who received more than 100,000 US dollars in commissions from the "Thor" company, has no hope for this, and he may be able to blow the "Patriot" into the sky with his mouth, but he shows with real actions that he is actually really honest.........
As the commander of the "Patriot" anti-aircraft missile battalion stationed in Dhahran, Lieutenant Colonel Bolson also wanted to be honest, but the strict orders from the coalition command and the commander of the ground forces made him have to deal with it head-on, not to mention that just three minutes ago, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, General Schwarzkopf, personally called him and asked him to make sure to turn around:
"This is for the honor of the Coalition, but also for the honor of the United States of America, and for your personal honor........"
This is what Admiral Schwarzkopf said when he hung up the phone, and it was precisely because of these words that Lieutenant Colonel Bolson finally made up his mind to face the "Scud" again, not to mention relying on the unparalleled modern combat system of the US army, coupled with his own improved response tactics;
Lieutenant Colonel Bolson did not think that he would fail again, so after a short hesitation, Bolson quickly regained his confidence, as Admiral Schwarzkopf said, he wanted to fight a turnaround battle for personal honor, not to mention that he was now cornered, if he could not make up for it in the wrong way, he estimated that he was really going to see God, so Bolson, who was in a state of mind, gritted his teeth and resolutely sounded the battle alarm after discovering that Iraq's "Scud" was attacking again.........
The Saudi "Riyadh" anti-aircraft missile battalion, which is not far away, is also pulling the line for combat alerts, but compared with the powerful comprehensive reconnaissance system of the US military, their detection methods are extremely shabby, and there are only three radars, which are silently releasing not dense radar signals;
However, it is precisely by relying on the perfect radar network composed of these three radars that the "Falcon" air defense missile system was able to detect three high-speed moving targets 60 kilometers away at the first time, and the calculated time was not much slower than that of the US military's "Patriot" air defense missile system, which has the advantage of air and space reconnaissance.
If Clark, an American war correspondent, were here at this time, his jaw would definitely drop, because the so-called "Chinese mercenaries" who have always been despised by him are manipulating every node with a professional quality no less than that of the elite surface-to-air missile units of the US military.
It's like a delicate and meticulous part, running its own trajectory accurately and firmly, and then driving each other, cooperating with each other, and finally forming a complex and huge mechanical chariot, booming and oppressing everything, Kaka rubbing and destroying everything, such a momentum that even the arrogant and world-class US military has never had.........
Naturally, the abnormal movements of the "Falcon" air defense missile system could not escape the overwhelming reconnaissance system of the US military, and at the moment when the radar signal of the "Falcon" air defense missile system suddenly changed from a usual search to an operational lock, Lieutenant Colonel Bolson made an announcement on the integrated electronic display screen in front of him.
Seeing this, Boltson's golden brows couldn't help but raise, and he glanced in the direction of the "Falcon" air defense missile system, and his eyes revealed an irrepressible sense of absurdity, and it is true that his confidence in the "Patriot" air defense missile system has dropped significantly, but the arrogance in his bones still positions this system as the world's most advanced air defense missile system;
Even if it is not satisfactory in intercepting ballistic missiles, with the support of the US military's combat system and with practical interception tactics, the "Patriot" air defense missile system can still do its best, and only with such advanced first-class equipment can it do its best, and what achievements can the low-end air defense missile system developed by a country where even televisions and washing machines are popular?
"I really don't know what those Saudis who have money and nowhere to spend think think that believing in a group of illiterate Chinese is simply self-inflicted!"
Bolton thought to himself, and then refocused his gaze on the monitor in front of him, then stroked the microphone on the side of his mouth, and ordered indifferently:
"Immediately implement electronic masking and interference to the surrounding unrelated electronic facilities!"
After giving the order, Lieutenant Colonel Bolson continued to stare at the display screen in front of him with full attention, not taking the "Falcon" air defense missile system as a thing at all, and the reason why he ordered the implementation of electronic jamming was nothing more than to eliminate all unfavorable factors, even those that seemed to him to be insignificant, and they had to be foolproof, after all, he and his "patriots" had to make 12 percent efforts to intercept the "Scuds..........
Sure enough, when the electronic warfare detachment attached to the "Patriot" air defense missile battalion began to release a weak electronic masking jamming, the radar signal of the "Falcon" air defense missile system was instantly so weak that it was difficult to distinguish.
"Directions!"
"Lot 3, 32 miles, 9300 feet, 035 azimuth, Mach 2.5 speed.........."
As soon as Lieutenant Colonel Bolson's voice fell, the radar operator on one side reported out the detailed target parameters loudly, and Lieutenant Colonel Bolson nodded when he heard this, and immediately shouted:
"Ready, ready to ........."
"Boom~~~~"
Lieutenant Colonel Bolson had just finished his sentence when he heard a bang not far away, and then the blazing fire reflected half of the sky, Bolson was suddenly shocked, and thought that Iraq's "Scud" had fallen to the ground and exploded, so he was so frightened that he smashed his mouth for a long time, and he didn't say the second half of the sentence until a soldier on duty hurriedly reported after a while:
"Sir, the Saudi 'Riyadh' anti-aircraft missile battalion began to intercept and strike the incoming 'Scud', and it was the noise that occurred when their 'Falcon' air defense system was launched just now.........."
Hearing this, Lieutenant Colonel Bolson recovered from his fright, but then an irrepressible anger came to his heart, for a proud mid-level officer of the US Army, being taken the lead under his nose was tantamount to a great insult to him, not to mention that the person who took his lead was a "Chinese mercenary" who was looked down upon by him, so he subconsciously wanted to scold;
However, as soon as the words reached his lips, he swallowed them stiffly: Is the preemptive attack of the "Riyadh" air defense missile battalion really a bad thing? Absolutely not, if we look at it from another angle, it may still be a great thing; although the "Patriot" air defense missile system failed in its previous interception, it is undeniable that the "Patriot" interceptor missile did accurately hit the target, and the reason why it did not succeed in the end was just a technical bug that existed due to the underestimation of the difficulty of intercepting ballistic missiles;
However, the "Falcon" air defense missile system, which now has more bugs, actually wants to take advantage of the defeat of the "Patriot" and try its skills, which makes Lieutenant Colonel Bolson both angry and funny, and how can the little-known "Falcon" air defense missile system do something that the "Patriot" air defense missile system cannot accomplish?
In the end, it is estimated that nothing can be done except to make people laugh and be generous, but this is fine, the "Falcon" air defense missile system that is bound to fail can just confirm the advanced nature of the "Patriot"; an inferior missile that is destined not to even touch the leg hair of the "Scud" is placed together with a high-quality missile that accurately hits the belly of the "Scud." Even a fool will know which one to choose, and even if that high-quality missile is not fully effective, the unlimited potential it shows can still make the world understand what is the world's first.........
Thinking of this, Lieutenant Colonel Bolson was not annoyed by the "Chinese mercenary" taking the first step, but laughed heartily, he was in trouble because of the previous live broadcast incident, but he didn't expect that at this time, there was a reckless second stunned person who took the initiative to act as a stepping stone for him to wash away the previous troubles, and because of this, Bolson chose to step on it without hesitation, ready to take a big step to step over the troubles around him..........
When he learned from the soldiers around him that it was the Saudi "Riyadh" anti-aircraft missile battalion that carried out the interception attack, Clark didn't say a word, and directly pulled up the camera around him and ran out of the bunker.
Regardless of the danger, he forcibly ordered the team to carry out the live broadcast, the purpose of which is nothing more than to use the lens language he is best at to explain that the "Falcon" missile system produced by China is inferior to the "Patriot" in nature, so as to use this big stepping stone sent by the pole to fill the big hole he dug before:
"Saudi Arabia's anti-aircraft missile battalion launched anti-aircraft missiles before the 'Patriot', and it is clear that the Saudi side has run out of patience for Iraq's despicable acts, and even if it cannot intercept the incoming ballistic missiles, Saudi Arabia wants to express its anger in this way......... Look ........."
As he spoke, Clark pointed to the sky, and the camera camera followed, several "Falcon" anti-aircraft missiles flashed rapidly, and finally there were only a few dazzling bright spots, dotted on the night, Clark continued with a playful smile:
"That is the 'Falcon' anti-aircraft missile equipped by Saudi Arabia, which is said to be an anti-aircraft missile system on a par with the 'Patriot', but ......... Boom~~~Boom~~~Boom~~~"
Before Clark could finish speaking, a series of explosions accompanied by brilliant firelight burst into the distant sky, and Clark smiled nonchalantly:
"Maybe it hit the .......... Wait a minute......... Oh, my, God! They really hit ........." (To be continued.) Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info)
