Chapter 868: Live Broadcast (I)
(Yuzu is back!)
Zhou Rui, as one of the three military observers appointed by the Military Commission, was arranged to Saudi Arabia, where the main force of the coalition forces is stationed, although compared with the war-torn Iraqi front, the feeling of war here is not so strong, but Zhou Rui uses his keen and unique perspective, with a "third eye" attitude, to intuitively see the evolution of the entire Gulf situation;
It is precisely because of this that Zhou Rui's heart will be in a hurry, no way, under the big proposition of modern warfare, China still has a considerable gap, it is true that relying on the border conflict with Vietnam and the conflict in the South China Sea between China and the Soviet Union as the axis, China has made great progress in military modernization;
It is even possible to use the existing equipment at hand to carry out modern combat means such as infrared-guided rockets to accurately hit the enemy's concealed positions, establish a simple command and combat system, and support combat aircraft to carry out limited regional air defense warfare, but compared with the all-round and three-dimensional modern combat methods displayed by the US military in the Gulf War, it is simply the gap between a newborn baby and an adult strong man;
What's more, the US military has applied many of the modern combat styles that China is still exploring and studying on the battlefield, and even though China has invested a lot of energy in this area in recent years, it is still a world apart from the US military, and not only that, but the US military has also expanded its war methods from the simple battlefield to public opinion, psychology, commerce, diplomacy, and internal affairs.........
If China has a 20-year gap between the army and the U.S. military itself, then there is no limit on the number of years in other elements, because there is almost no comparison between the two;
What is systematic psychological warfare? What is public opinion warfare that leads the world? How should the arms business be marketed outside of war? How should diplomacy serve war in a soft and moderate manner? and so on......... For Zhou Rui, who always has a sense of being prepared for danger in times of peace, this series of factors has made him rethink how big the future war should be and what is the direction of modernization of the Chinese army...........
If the Tehran air defense war a few years ago made him touch the threshold of modern warfare, thus achieving "Super ~~Limit ~~ War", then now he has been ideologically sublimated because of the Gulf War, so that he truly understands modern warfare and understands modern warfare, so that his mind is always rolling in waves, and more profound and amazing military theories than "Super ~~Limit ~~ War" are gradually coming out..........
"Therefore, when I return to China this time, I would like to ask you to give advice to the head of the headquarters, and also make up for the shortcomings of our country!"
Luo Zhenhai took a puff of cigarette, he knew what Zhou Rui was thinking, and as a veteran of the ground-to-air missile unit, how could Comrade Luo not be like this? It's just that he doesn't have Zhou Rui's ability to summarize and sublimate, but as an experienced veteran, Luo Zhenhai has his own unique vision, and he is not even worse than Zhou Rui.

"Indeed!" Zhou Rui nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said slowly and meaningfully: "If we want to win the future modern war, we still have a long way to go, first of all, ideology and strategy, of course, ......."
As he spoke, Zhou Rui withdrew his gaze from the US "Patriot" air defense missile position, and turned his head to look at the "Falcon" surface-to-air missile position hidden in the dark night:
"And our equipment........."
"However, we still have a good fight with the US military in some equipment, at least the 'Falcon' will not be much worse than their 'Patriot'!"
Luo Zhenhai looked at the missile position behind him with blazing eyes, as if the old father was looking at the future, full of pride and pride, so that even the members of the test and training team in front of him were infected by this meaningful gaze, and their faces were full of pride and pride.
However, Zhou Rui, who was closest to him, was not infected by this emotion, but the two stretched sword eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and then reminded Luo Zhenhai with a serious face:
"Lao Luo, I understand your feelings, but there is an objective gap, you should also face it, the gap is not terrible, what you are afraid of is to cover your ears and steal the bell, and ignore it, so that in the end the gap will get bigger and bigger. ”
Listening to Zhou Rui's words, Luo Zhenhai couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and it took a while to react, it turned out that Zhou Rui regarded what he just said as a quick tongue, and Luo Zhenhai couldn't say what it was like to be psychologically in this regard, because since Zhou Rui came to the "Riyadh" air defense missile battalion, the two of them don't know how many times they have fought on this issue;
For Luo Zhenhai, who has rich operational experience and has successfully completed the bidding test of Iraq's air defense missile system, there is no doubt about the performance of the "Falcon" ground-to-air missile system; while for Zhou Rui, who conducted many investigations and studies on the development of the "Falcon" ground-to-air missile when he was in China, the ultra-high mission indicators and the failure of several live-fire tests were achieved.
Otherwise, in his investigation report to the Central Military Commission, he would not have suggested that the troops should not be equipped with the "Falcon" ground-to-air missile system for the time being; it is precisely for this reason that although he was pleased with the successful sale of the "Falcon" ground-to-air missile system, he did not think that this system would be able to achieve dazzling results in actual combat.
In fact, Luo Zhenhai has no bottom on this point, so every time he argues, as soon as Zhou Rui mentions actual combat, Luo Zhenhai begins to be exhausted, after all, the "Falcon" surface-to-air missile system has not undergone a set of rigorous and meticulous tests in China from development to export, and there is still a large failure rate in the only few live-fire tests.
The results that can be obtained are the two target shots in Saudi Arabia and the bidding test in Iraq, but these comparisons are fundamentally different from actual combat, so that no one dares to assert that the "Falcon" ground-to-air missile system can give full play to the performance on paper in actual combat.
Even if Lu Jiadong, who was forced to stay in Iraq, gave him a lot of confidence and assurance when Luo Zhenhai left, as a veteran who had experienced the horn of the barracks, Luo Zhenhai knew very well what was going on in actual combat, and because of this, although he had confidence in the "Falcon" surface-to-air missile system, he could not completely refute Zhou Rui's prejudices.
In fact, it is not to blame the two of them for having such thoughts, after all, it has been less than 24 hours since the official start of the war, and coupled with the deliberate concealment of the US military, many people, including Luo Zhenhai and Zhou Rui, do not know the brilliant achievements of the Iraqi "Falcon" ground-to-air missile battalion, and they all think that the downing of the US fighter plane was carried out by Iraq's high-density air defense network and a large number of air defense missiles and antiaircraft guns.
"It's a mule or a horse, you'll know it!"
Luo Zhenjiang neither refuted nor admitted, but only muttered ambiguously, and then looked up at the sky, recalling that twenty minutes ago, Lieutenant General Khalid, the commander of the Arab coalition forces, had called him and asked them to make every effort to intercept Iraq's "Scud" missiles;
Luo Zhenjiang knew that it was a Soviet-made short-range ballistic missile, but the interception of ballistic missiles by the air defense missile system was a worldwide problem; not to mention the very weak radar reflection signal of the ballistic missile, not to mention its super anti-damage ability, just to say that its perverted ultra-high speed is a severe test for any air defense system;
The kind of hypersonic speed of more than 3 times the speed of sound, not only greatly reduces the warning time of the radar, but also reduces the strike efficiency to the lowest value, it is difficult to imagine how difficult it will be to accurately intercept such a situation, not to mention the terminal interception of this ballistic missile, the most important thing is to destroy its powerful warhead, and the anti-aircraft missile equipped with a fragmentation warhead is obviously not suitable for such combat effectiveness;
If the blind cat is lucky enough to run into a dead mouse, it is good to let some fragments just detonate the missile's ballistic warhead, but if not, only the huge fuel tank at the tail will be broken, and it will not change the outcome of the warhead hitting and detonating, and if you want to truly achieve the combat effect, you must increase the interception density of the anti-aircraft missile;
However, under the hypersonic penetration of ballistic missiles, there is very little time left for the air defense missile system, and because of this, Luo Zhenjiang cannot imagine how the "Falcon" air defense missile system can intercept the "Scud" under such a difficult situation.
Of course, Luo Zhenjiang was not intimidated by such difficulty, no matter how this is in Saudi Arabia, it is good to be able to intercept, it doesn't matter if it can't, all in all, whether it is good or bad, it is not a bad thing for the "Falcon" air defense missile system,
Zhou Rui also has the same idea, both horizontal and vertical are not from their own country, whether they are good or not, they are all earned, and there is not much care, even if the camera lens of the United States frequently shines on this side, he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong, if Clark, who is preparing for the live broadcast at this time, knows that the "Chinese mercenary" who is used as a stepping stone by him is like this, I don't know if a mouthful of old blood will spurt out;
It is estimated that even if he knew, he would not have time to vomit blood, because at this moment, located 93 kilometers southeast of Dhahran, three flashes of lightning chased through the night sky, leaving a standard parabolic curve above the dark night, and at the same time, the radar signal that spread here stirred up layers of ripples, and then the strong radar echo was captured by the huge radar antenna in the blink of an eye, and constantly refreshed on the radar screen through a complex imaging circuit.........
"Team Luo, I found that three high-speed targets are approaching!"
Shen Jiwei, who was in charge of duty, reported the situation to Luo Zhenjiang as soon as possible, and when he heard that Luo Zhenjiang didn't care about the cigarette he had just lit, he threw it on the ground fiercely, raised his eyebrows and ordered in a deep voice:
"Get ready for battle!"
"Yes!"
Shen Jiwei responded, but before he could convey this order, a terrible air defense siren sounded on the US "Patriot" air defense missile position not far away, which made Luo Zhenjiang and the others frown, it was obvious that their American counterparts had already taken the lead.........
