618 Iraq needs more powerful tanks, Iran needs helicopter gunships (6/6 for the Yuda Alliance of the Pole Tailai)
Whether it is the Iraqis or the Iranians, they are very well prepared before the start of the war, and once the tank battle is decided, a general offensive will be launched eventually.
This is not the case with the intentions of both sides.
As a result, the Iraqis, as well as the Iranians, were dumbfounded.
In the face of powerful aerial fire from helicopter formations, tanks without anti-aircraft weapons can only be targets; And the helicopter formation in the air is simply a moving air target when there is no way to solve the threat of ground missiles.
It's a dead knot that can't be untied.
The Iraqi offensive was halted by the lack of air support, and the Iranian counteroffensive was too durable for the opposing tanks to continue.
The firepower is not weaker than that of the other side, and the defense is not bad, but the ammunition in their tanks cannot be compared with the heavy tanks of the Iraqis.
When the helicopter finally ceased to appear in the skies of the battlefield, both sides evacuated very peacefully.
"Tell the president that we need stronger tanks, we need more helicopters, and these helicopters must have resistance to those missiles!" The results of the battle on the front line made General Qasim, who was bent on revenge, hysterical.
Both Kram and Jack assured him that the M1 was the most powerful tank in the world, and that there was no rival in the world except for the German Leopard 2, which could barely compete with it.
In the first war, the M1 tank destroyed 35 small Iranian tanks, and all the equipment of a battalion was lost. What's more, these tanks are expensive. If it weren't for the fact that they were President Saddam's fellow countrymen, they weren't the president's most loyal subordinates. The president would not have approved such a large number of purchases, and at first they had sent a delegation directly to China to purchase the same tanks, as they had planned. At that time, it was the fight who had more tanks and who was more proficient in operation.
"General, if we make this request now, will the Ministry of Defense embarrass the president?" Mubashar felt that it was his mistake.
The first regiment sank twice in a row and lost too much equipment.
This is a disgrace to the entire Tikrite division.
Soviet helicopters, showing sufficient firepower from the air. However, it was used as a target by those anti-aircraft missiles.
How will this battle be fought in the future?
"It's those moths of the Ministry of Defense, even if the T64 of the Soviets are purchased. Our battle losses this time will not be so big! The T64 lost only 6 units, look at the American tanks, even the load-bearing wheels were melted! Qasim said through gritted teeth.
According to his investigation, it became clear that the problem with the tanks of the Americans was very serious. In such a situation. They were all melted down, and the heat blew up the isolated magazines inside the tanks, and eventually the tanks were placed in a vast area northeast of Darkhowin as a pile of scrap metal.
"You gather all this information and come back to Baghdad with me to meet the president, if you can't come up with a solution, the other side uses a larger number of tanks, it will be our disaster, our war results. Eventually, it will be reduced to nothingness......"
Qasim knows that in a very short time at the moment. There is simply no way to fight here.
And there is no big war on this side, no winner or loser, the central front and the northern front will continue to confront each other.
After the results were counted, and without paying attention to the loss of tanks of other troops, Qasim rushed to the capital Baghdad with Mubashar......
And on the Iranian side, such a powerful tank cluster and armored cluster did not achieve the expected results at all. Teddell's carefully prepared counteroffensive plan, in the present, completely failed.
Failing without starting is something he can't tolerate.
"General, it's a disadvantage to be a humble officer. Although we have anti-aircraft missiles, we simply do not have the air power to effectively strike the opposing side. Call for air support, no, just relying on anti-aircraft missiles, on the rapidly changing battlefield, it is simply impossible to form an effective strike...... "In the face of this result, the Ryonwei 1 lost 28 vehicles, and the Ronwei 2 lost 7 vehicles, which made the entire Ahvaz defenders very distressed.
This is their backbone.
And the lack of helicopters to coordinate operations is a very painful thing at all. If they had air defense and then air strikes, this battle would have been won a long time ago.
However, they simply cannot receive effective air support.
The F4 and F5 of the Air Force are simply unable to effectively support them, and the powerful F14 must defend Tehran, once the fighters on this side take off, the Iraqi fighter group will also come to this side, and the helicopters of the other side have destroyed a total of 12 of their Ronpo tanks in two waves......
"Where are you going to get you a gunship? If there is, it will be used in the northern battlefield first! "Aller. Tedler found a problem, and that was that the Iranian Ministry of Defense never paid attention to helicopter gunships.
This was a fatal oversight.
"China! We should advise Minister Samnira to continue to procure Longwei tanks from China, as well as their helicopter gunships...... "Ansar has made a meritorious contribution this time, although they also suffered heavy losses, but they have destroyed more tanks of the enemy, and there are 9 helicopters.
Although two of the helicopters exploded because they collided while dodging missiles, it was also due to the work of one of their battalions.
"Hehe, China! They themselves do not have enough helicopters to use. Can the backward performance of the Mi-4 helicopter compare with their Mi-24? "Aller. Teddell was also impressed at first, but when he thought about it later, he smiled bitterly.
The Chinese are too bad in this regard.
The Chinese are not good fighters, and helicopters are not good.
"The Ninth Academy, which researched the Longwei tank, has developed a multi-purpose helicopter in order to effectively cooperate with the Longwei tank operation, which can be turned into a pure armed helicopter, and can also be armed with countless helicopters, and can also be turned into armed helicopters...... Liu Suzhi casually told the Iranians that China's helicopters have been formed, and although the delivery may be a little late, they can definitely get armed helicopters.
At present, most of Iran's weapons and equipment come from China, the United States and European sanctions, which have made them a little unable to bear the war damage.
The news was quickly fed back to the Iranian Ministry of Defense.
For this war, the governments and militaries of Iran and Iraq are all thinking about how to win the war, and they have not thought about the impact that this war will have on the world's war model and the development of military equipment.
Jack was dumbfounded, he was stunned from the moment he got the results.
If it weren't for him lobbying the top level of the CIA, instead of patting his chest and assuring the Ministry of Defense that as long as the advanced tanks were exported to Iraq, the United States would be able to gradually squeeze out the old Maozi in Iraq.
Everyone knows that the tanks that the Americans sell to Iraq will not be the most advanced.
However, their most advanced tanks were developed on this basis.
Obviously, the Soviets' tanks are more durable than the Americans' tanks, although the old Maozi's tanks are much uglier in terms of design.
And what made him angry was that the person he chose ended up betraying the CIA!
"Lieutenant Colonel Jack, I hope you can give us an explanation, the tanks we bought from the United States at everyone's expense can be melted down into a pile of scrap metal......" Cumlam once again suffered the wrath of the president, if he did not solve this problem as soon as possible, he would be hanged by the president on the gallows!
"Explanation, what explanation?" Faced with Iraq's intelligence minister, Jack didn't care at all.
If it weren't for the effort to weaken the Soviets and let the Iraqi soldiers ruthlessly clean up the Iranians, to teach Khomeini a huge lesson, to tell Khomeini that without the support of the United States, Iran cannot play, and the US government will throw an olive branch to Iraq?
"You promised us that this is your most advanced tank, the most advanced in the world! In the first place, you wanted to dredge up the relationship and facilitate the deal......" Cumlam didn't expect that Jack would be so shameless.
In order to buy these tanks from the United States, they gave Jack a lot of benefits.
"This is truly our most advanced tank! There is no doubt about this, who knows if the Iranians secretly got some anti-tank weapons from the Soviets......" Jack changed his attitude in an instant as soon as he heard the other party's threat.
The Iraqis gave him a lot of benefits, which also allowed him to give Iraq a lot of intelligence and benefits that did not comply with US regulations.
"Don't worry, I'll order my men to investigate as soon as possible. Moreover, if we can't find out why the other side was able to destroy our tanks so easily, the U.S. military can't rest assured, Chinese can't have such a powerful technological ......"
It is likely that the Iranians had reached a secret agreement with the Soviet Union.
The Soviets even sold Scud missiles to the Iraqis, and in order to win over the Iranians who had betrayed the Americans, and completely drive the Americans out of the Middle East and the Gulf, the Soviets would do exactly that.
The advanced weapons and equipment made the Iraqis unable to see hope, and then gave the Iraqis advanced weapons and equipment, which finally made Iran have a good impression of the Soviet Union, and at the same time, it was also able to make Iraq continue to follow the Soviet Union with all its heart.
Soviet fighter jets obviously have thermal decoy bombs as standard, but the fighters and missiles exported to the Iraqis are not equipped with these decoy bombs.
Can the infrared missiles of the Chinese be so advanced?
No way!
Although it is only a small missile, there are too many technologies in it -- missile design, materials, precision machining, heat treatment process, guidance technology, computer chips, and so on......
With China's backward industrial system and scientific and technological system, it is impossible to get it out! (To be continued.) )
