Chapter 863: Switching Offense and Defense (Part II)
"What? Still can't make up your mind?"
Just as Lu Jiadong was staring at the bright red sunset sinking and falling, Lu Weijun didn't know when he walked from behind, glanced at the remnant sun that had already been swallowed by the desert, and shook his head slightly:
"The sunset is infinitely good, but it is almost dusk, since we already know that the night is coming, then why look ahead and backward? Not to mention .........."
Saying that, Lu Weijun nodded at several trucks painted with desert camouflage not far away, and then asked Lu Jiadong meaningfully:
"Do you have any room to maneuver?"
Lu Jiadong looked up in the direction of Lu Weijun's mouth, and by the afterglow of the setting sun, the trucks there were particularly clear, it was Iraq's ninth ground-to-ground tactical missile ~~ missile battalion, they were ordered by Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to meet with the "Falcon" surface-to-air missile battalion in the hinterland of the desert an hour ago;
As for the very simple purpose, that is, under the cover of the "Falcon" ground-to-air missile battalion, the "Scud" missiles were used to launch a firepower counterattack against Saudi and Israeli targets. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It is precisely for this reason that President Saddam Hussein attached great importance to this operation, and issued orders to the "Falcon" surface-to-air missile battalion three times in succession, asking it to do a good job of covering until the end of the counterattack operation.
In any case, the exceptional promotion and the generous reward have just been obtained, and it is precisely when the morale is at its highest, when they receive the combat order personally issued by Saddam, they are naturally shouting to complete the combat mission in order to seize greater political and economic interests.
It was precisely because of the existence of their "Falcon" ground-to-air missile battalion that the US troops who fought lost their armor and had to change their combat plans, and it was precisely because of this that they firmly believed that under the safety umbrella held up by the "Falcon" ground-to-air missile battalion, they had full confidence in the success rate of this counterattack operation.
On this point, Lu Jiadong actually has the same view as the Iraqi officers and soldiers: Judging from the performance of the "Falcon" air defense missile system alone, it is not difficult to cover one or two ground-to-surface missile units to carry out a counterattack, but the problem at present is no longer as simple as it seems on the surface..........
"You won't really worry about Luo Zhenjiang and their heels in Saudi Arabia, right?"
Seeing that Lu Jiadong didn't speak for a long time, Lu Weijun asked again, and there seemed to be a lot of worry between the words, but with a relaxed smile on his face, how could he still be half worried? What worries Lu Jiadong had in his heart, Lu Weijun actually knew best, Iraq used "scuds" to carry out counterattacks,
As an attacked Saudi Arabia, it will inevitably launch air defense interception, and at that time, the "Falcon" air defense missile system, which has just been installed in Saudi Arabia, will naturally not be able to stay out of the situation, and will certainly participate in it as one of the main forces to intercept the "Scud", and with the excellent performance of the "Falcon" air defense missile system,
Naturally, the success rate of intercepting the "Scud" will not be weak; once it makes a name for itself, this air defense system with excellent performance will definitely enter the field of vision of the US military, and at that time, after an in-depth study of it, the backhand will launch a powerful encirclement and suppression of the Iraqi "Falcon" ground-to-air missile battalion, and at that time this ground-to-air missile battalion with outstanding achievements will inevitably be wiped out.
After all, the difference between the national strength of the United States and Iraq is too great, and although it is supported by the "Falcon" ground-to-air missile battalion, it is difficult to support it alone;
Taking the battle situation in the past 18 hours as an example, even though the "Falcon" ground-to-air missile battalion gave the US military a head-on blow in the south, it did not exert much influence on the overall situation, and the US air force attack on the southern route was blocked, as well as the north, west, and east, and the entire early morning of the 17th, the Iraqi capital Baghdad was bombed extremely hard, which is an indisputable example.
The "Falcon" ground-to-air missile battalion is indeed strong in combat effectiveness, and the use of air defense guerrilla warfare is also flexible and changeable, and the "encirclement and reinforcement" has terrified the US military.
Even if the US military changes its combat plan because of this, as if it is afraid of the "Falcon" surface-to-air missile battalion, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than a smoke bomb released by the US military, which can calm the restless anti-war sentiment at home on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can also paralyze Iraq and relax its vigilance.
The weakening of the US air's air attack has greatly encouraged Iraq, and several ground-to-air missile units that have made meritorious contributions also want to follow the example of the "Falcon" ground-to-air missile battalion and fight a few beautiful ambushes, but as a result, they were lured by the BQM-74 unmanned target planes with strengthened signals of the US military to turn on the radar, and even though they were dealt a devastating blow by the "Wild Weasel" electronic warfare attack formation that followed closely, in less than five hours, more than a dozen Iraqi ground-to-air missile units that had painstakingly preserved were destroyed.
No, they have not weakened at all, but have become more accurate, more cunning, and sharper; after those combat planes and support planes that have poor mobility and are vulnerable to direct attacks have withdrawn from the battlefield, the US air force with flexible mobility will be able to strike at Iraq's hidden surface-to-air missile units more calmly;
This can be seen from the tremendous pressure that the "Falcon" ground-to-air missile battalion has been under in the past few hours; if it were not for the strong signal processing capability of the "Falcon" air defense and missile system; if it had not been for the meticulous interpretation of targets; and if it had not been for the rapid deployment and retraction of the "Falcon" ground-to-air missile battalion, it is estimated that the "Falcon" ground-to-air missile battalion would have been beaten to ashes by the US troops who were chasing after it all the way.........
Moreover, the current situation of the "Falcon" ground-to-air missile battalion is not optimistic; after more than 10 hours of continuous combat, the ammunition base has dropped seriously, especially in several ambush operations before dawn, although two "Harrier" and one "Tornado" were fired, most of them were BQM-74 unmanned target planes released by the US military, and this made the "Falcon" ground-to-air missile battalion, which already did not have enough ammunition, even worse.
In addition, the mechanical wear and tear is also quite severe, and several cars have broken down before dawn, but fortunately, there are sufficient spare parts that can be repaired quickly, but even if this kind of self-contained spare parts are sufficient, they can support the geometry? Iraq is not an industrial country, its own military industry is almost zero, and now all the foreign channels have been cut off by the US military, and the only ammunition and spare parts can really be said to be one less shot, and there is no one, so there is not much time to last in such a situation........
It is precisely because of this that in Lu Weijun's view, the defeat of the "Falcon" ground-to-air missile battalion is only a matter of time, and since this is the case, it is better to give it a go and have a vigorous curtain call to intercept the "Scuds" in Saudi Arabia If you want to pay attention to the new air defense system developed by the Northeast Heavy Industry Group in Iraq, these two things alone are enough, and if you want to expand overseas arms sales channels, these two battles are enough to settle the situation, but Lu Jiadong still hesitates, can't this extremely clever military genius see the doorway? Lu Weijun doesn't believe it..........
Lu Weijun was right, Lu Jiadong really saw through the doorway, and even at the beginning, he didn't think of using a "Falcon" ground-to-air missile battalion with no backup to do anything amazing to turn things around, and the reason why he stayed and followed the "Falcon" ground-to-air missile battalion to eat sand and smell the smoke of gunpowder was nothing more than to see if the "Falcon" air defense missile system could resist these main battle weapons in the next 20 years, where its own shortcomings were, and what its limits were.........
It is precisely because of this that Lu Jiadong sincerely hopes that the "Falcon" ground-to-air missile battalion can last longer, and only in this way can the relevant data of the "Falcon" air defense and missile system be more perfect, and accumulate a valuable technical foundation for building China's own territorial air defense and fleet regional air defense system in the future..........
"Saddam Hussein really can't hold his breath!"
After a long time, Lu Jiadong finally sighed, remembering the exclamation sentence that was extremely popular in later generations, not afraid of god-like opponents, afraid of pig-like teammates, if Saddam Hussein collects the character of great joy and drags back the counterattack time, Lu Jiadong is confident that he can last another 72 to 100 hours,
However, all this was disrupted by Saddam's order to save face, and this may miss such as E-3, EC-130, F-15 and most importantly, F-117........
But then again, Lu Jiadong is a person who can afford to let go after all, war is a game that changes several times faster than planned, since it can't be changed, then learn to adapt, anyway, as an arms dealer and technician, he has already gained a lot, as for victory or defeat, what does it have to do with him? If you want to fight, then let's fight, so when the last ray of the remnant sun was about to be swallowed by the desert, Lu Jiadong's face finally flashed a confident smile, and nodded at Lu Weijun:
"You must know that there are 'patriots' there, and if they wrestle, it will be really ugly, so it's time for Lao Luo and them to move their hands and feet.........."
Lu Weijun was stunned when he heard this, then reacted, and said with a smile: "If he makes a fool of himself, you can find him back here.........."
After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, and immediately laughed, in this hearty laughter, the remnant sun finally sank into the depths of the desert, with the darkness shrouded, the three "Scud" missiles also gradually showed their grandeur, from this moment on, the offense and defense have been converted..........
