Chapter 825: A Real Low-Altitude Killer
Lu Jiadong's remarks left Galitsky speechless: The BGM-109 Block2 "Tomahawk" cruise missile is an upgraded and improved version developed by the US military based on the BGM-109 basic type, and the project began in 1983 and lasted five years and finally succeeded in 1988.
In this way, it has become a sharp weapon for tactical strikes in the hands of the United States, not only filling the gap in firepower left by the "Pershing"-2 medium-range ballistic missile, which was forced to be destroyed due to the "INF Treaty," but also becoming a powerful means of carrying out surgical tactical strikes against the eastern part of the Soviet Union with more diverse strike methods and flexible and changeable means of penetrating defenses.

It is precisely for this reason that the relevant departments of the Soviet Union have always paid close attention to it, and during the period of its improvement and development, they have begun to upgrade and improve their own air defense missile systems, but they have focused on the territorial air defense system used to defend the country's important strategic facilities, especially the S-300 series air defense missile system with a certain anti-missile capability.
As for other old air defense systems and field air defense equipment, similar improvements have not been made, and it is even more impossible to use the equipment for export, so the "Beech" air defense missile system used for bidding this time does not have the ability to intercept the BGM-109 Block 2 "Tomahawk" cruise missile; on this basis, Galitsky and others, who are responsible for selling to Iraq, intentionally or unintentionally ignore these shortcomings, but they did not expect Lu Jiadong to pierce this layer of window paper as soon as he came up;
This is like the naked emperor being torn down on the street, countless embarrassments gathered on Galitsky's face, making his face more ugly and ugly, and at this time, a group of Iraqi generals who were observing on the scene also reacted and began to reassess whether the successful interception of the "Beech" air defense missile system at a height of 35 meters just now could deal with all future threats..........
It was only at this time that Galitsky suddenly realized how wrong his previous speechless embarrassment was, but it was too late to regret it, so he could only explain:
"Although the BGM-109 Block 2 "Tomahawk" cruise missile has the capability of cruising at an altitude of 10 meters, as a strategic weapon in the hands of the United States, it is by no means a threat to all countries, especially a country like Iraq, which has good relations with the United States, and the United States will not aim its spearhead at them!"
Galitsky's implication is very clear: Weapons and equipment such as the "Tomahawk" cruise missile, which is used for mutual deterrence between major powers, cannot be used against a medium-sized power like Iraq, so proceeding from the real threat, the "Beech" air defense missile is sufficient to meet Iraq's needs.........
"According to what you say, it is indeed impossible for the United States to pose a threat to Iraq, but you must not forget that Israel is hundreds of kilometers northwest of Iraq, and its arsenal is full of advanced American-style equipment, and I don't know if we can get this kind of cruise missiles for tactical strikes in the future, but I remember that during the fourth Middle East war, the US warplanes were given to Israel before they even had time to erase their body markings..........
Calitsky's justification was originally a bit far-fetched by the lack of donkey skills, and Lu Jiadong's heart-wrenching words were like a heavy punch, blasting Galitsky's excuse to pieces, and Israel, as a potential enemy of the entire Arab world, has a nerve in every Arab country with the development of its equipment and its future direction.
Iraq is no exception, since the first Middle East war, Iraq and Israel have clashed several times, its record is often more defeats and fewer victories, can not take the table, in 1982 it was the Israeli air force used a strange way to carry out a surprise attack, resulting in the destruction of the nuclear ~~~ reactor that cost a lot of money to build,
Because of this, Israel has become one of Iraq's potential imaginary enemies, so as soon as Lu Jiadong's remarks came out, the Iraqi generals around him all thought it was true, knowing that Israel's relationship with the United States is closer than that of its own brothers, and Iraq is simply not even comparable to a fart, and if one day Israel really needs "Tomahawk" cruise missiles, the United States will never hesitate for a moment, but Iraq has no corresponding means to deal with it, and Iraq will inevitably suffer a big strategic loss in comparison.
As a result, the faces of the Iraqi generals present gradually became solemn, and the eyes that looked at Galitsky began to be unkind, even the Iraqi Air Force Commander Salah and Chief of Staff Hussein, who were attracted by them, also intentionally or unintentionally avoided Galitsky's gaze for help, as if the two of them had never seen Galitsky...........
It was only at this time that Galitsky finally realized what it meant to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot, and he slapped himself with his fist, but he didn't have any way, who let Lu Jiadong say it without any mistakes, and it was reasonable, so he regretted a little, regretted that he shouldn't have been carried away by anger just now, and said those reckless words, but even so, so what?
There is nothing lacking in this world, except that there is no regret medicine that makes people get back to their original intentions, just when Galitsky fell into endless embarrassment again, a crisp cough suddenly exploded in the room, and then Bujing, who was wearing a dark gray suit, walked over quickly, glanced at Galitsky with a depressed face, and fixed his eyes on Lu Jiadong's body:
"I agree with you, sir!"
There is a smile on Bujing's frosty face, but this smile does not make people feel half warm, and some are just cold to the bone:
"Our 'Beech' may still be somewhat deficient in this regard, but I don't know what is unique about your country's 'Falcon' anti-aircraft missile system in this regard.........."
Bujing's seemingly polite and apologetic words concealed a killing move that was enough to see blood: The "Beech" air defense missile system cannot intercept a target at an altitude of 10 meters, but can you "Falcon" do it? You must know that from the moment the "Falcon" air defense missile system is deployed,
It is recognized as a second-hand improved type of foot-skimming, although the packaging is clear-eyed, but there may not be the ability of "beech" in the bones, and because of this, when Galitsky could not cope with the embarrassment, Bujing stood up very appropriately, not only lightly resolved the embarrassment and helplessness of his companions, but also kicked the ball back, as for the subtext in his words, it is self-evident:
Since you have said so much, then show your real skills for people to see, just say that you don't practice fake tricks, if you can't do it, there is no need to talk about it.........
Butin's understatement turned the whole situation in an instant, and the surrounding Iraqi generals turned their eyes to Lu Jiadong, and the signal operator at the scene also switched the image to the position of the weather-mottled Chinese "Falcon" air defense missile system at this time, and Galitsky swept away the previous embarrassment, and began to look at Lu Jiadong with interest, with an undisguised schadenfreude smile on his face.
Lu Jiadong secretly praised Bujing's quick wit in his heart, he is worthy of being a person who can ascend to the throne of Russia in the future, and he really sees things to the point, but this time maybe this ambitious Russian tough guy has lost his eyes, the "Falcon" air defense missile system looks inconspicuous, but is it really as useless as ordinary people expected?
"General Salah, you can make this test more difficult, for example, let the fighter plane penetrate the defense at a low altitude throughout the whole process, and lower the launch altitude of the missile a little more, and enter the attack and cruise stage at an altitude of about 10 meters.........
I thought that Lu Jiadong would find some excuses, at least hesitate, but I didn't expect that Lu Jiadong not only refused, but asked to increase the difficulty of interception, and the fighter plane penetrated the defense at a low altitude throughout the whole process, which means that the long-range warning radar may completely fail, even if the target is barely detected, the reaction time left for the air defense system is minimal, not to mention the ultra-low-flying attack missile, the difficulty is not simply to increase a little, but it is equivalent to putting the entire air defense missile system in a desperate situation.........
"Are you trying to excuse your failure with unattainable difficulty?"
In his opinion, Lu Jiadong and evading responsibility are undoubtedly "beech," and even the most advanced S-300 system in the Soviet Union is difficult to achieve, and how can China's "Falcon" system be accomplished? It is just a cunning Chinese to find a decent excuse for their possible failure, after all, under such difficulty, no one can succeed, for Galitsky's mind, Lu Jiadong naturally understands it, and can't help but smile indifferently:
"Whether it's an excuse or not, you'll know after reading it!"
After speaking, he ignored Galitsky's resentful gaze and strode towards the center of the stands, and Galitsky was angry and wanted to catch up with the two sentences of theory but was stopped by Bujing on the side, Galitsky was a little annoyed, but he still stopped and snorted coldly at Lu Jiadong's distant back:
"Let's see what else you can do!"
Although Bujing did not speak, there was an intriguing look in his pale blue cold eyes, as if he was silently reciting what Galitsky had just said in his heart..........
Lu Jiadong, however, had no time to take into account what Bujing and Galitsky were thinking, and after a series of preparatory work, he grabbed the intercom connecting the "Falcon" air defense missile position and asked aloud in Chinese:
"Are you ready?"
"Everything is ready!"
In the intercom, Luo Zhenjiang's voice was sonorous and powerful, and Lu Jiadong nodded when he heard this: "Okay, let them see now what kind ...........of means a real low-altitude killer should have" (to be continued.) )
