January 4, 1991.

Location: Persian Gulf.

As long as the multinational coalition is interested in really sending troops, it has successively sent troops to the Gulf region since August 90, until January 4, 91, 80% of the participating teams have all arrived at the coalition base camp in Saudi Arabia, and the front-line army units have directly pulled the troops to the border between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

Here, the ground army units are always ready to drive across the border in order to re-liberate the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait, but the real majority of the ground forces are the heavy troops on the ground, the US Army pulled out the M1A1 Abrams main battle tank, and the British also pulled out the challenger, but the French did not catch up with the good time this time, and the famous Leclerc clown has not yet been finalized and produced, so he can only pull out the AMX-30 main station tank to make up the number.

Of course, Pakistan, the younger brother and thug of Saudi Arabia specially brought in this time, must also give the boss a little more face, and the equipment used by the armored division drawn out by Pakistan is also quite elite, although when the third generation of tanks was officially replaced, Pakistan reduced the number of tanks in the armored division, but the entire unit is still equipped with more than 200 MBT2000, as well as a number of armored reconnaissance, command, emergency repair vehicles, and so on.

It can be said that among the army units on the entire front line, the most fierce are the United States, Britain, and Pakistan, and the rest of the countries are some second-generation main battle tanks on the front line, such as AMX-30, M-60 tanks, etc., are weaker by one level.

Kuwait, which was eager to recover its country, purchased a large number of Yugoslav M84 main battle tanks, and a total of three armored brigades participated in the battle to recapture Kuwait City. The table is still remarkable.

However, this aspect has changed, and I think it should be that Pakistan has purchased a more powerful MBT-2000 tank. Kuwait also gave up the purchase of Rasslav's M84, after all, it was a high-imitation version of the Soviet T72 main battle tank. In the case that the enemy Iraq is equipped with T72 tanks, Kuwait will not purchase such things if they have any choice.

Therefore, this is also a batch of MBT2000 tanks that the Republic of China has worked overtime to produce to Pakistan halfway, although this plane has only made up an armored brigade in the end, but more than 100 MBT2000 are still quite a lot after the posture is opened, and under Pakistan's hand-in-hand training all the way, the combat capability is still quite good, at least it looks like it is presentable. As for what will happen if you really encounter a tough battle, no one can say.

But then again, what kind of ground forces can be a tough battle in the Gulf War? All of Iraq's ground combat forces have lost confidence in being beaten by coalition air strikes, and in such a situation, as long as they do not even drive tanks well, it is generally not a problem to directly overturn them.

However, this time the protagonist of January 4 is not these armored forces on the ground, the real drama takes place between the combat forces in the air

According to the previous plan, a hypothetical enemy unit of the J-74, operated by a full set of Pakistan Air Force fighters, took off at a separate airfield. A total of 20 fighters of a squadron quickly completed the take-off, this time it was an imitation of the battle between countries, and there was never less combat units at one time, and it was already relatively general to dispatch 20 J-74s. If there is a large-scale sortie of the Iraqi Air Force, it will certainly not be less than 20 planes.

However, it was just when the J-74 of Pakistan's imaginary enemy squadron just set off. A stealthy and seemingly ordinary civilian radio wave was sent out, and it was seen that the mission was completed. The Iraqi spy who had been lurking nearby for a long time packed up his things and left contentedly, leaving him alone with the rest. It's better to escape from the land of right and wrong as soon as possible.

After receiving the news, the command center of the Iraqi Air Force issued the first order, and for a time, the airfields close to the Kuwaiti front line were all in action, and one after another combat planes were quickly pushed out of the parking shed, and these planes had already been loaded with ammunition and fuel, and they also took off from several airports separately in an orderly manner, giving people the false impression that they were taking off to carry out air patrol missions.

As for the US military's awesome space-based infrared early warning satellite, it seems that the purpose of that thing is designed to detect the infrared heat source when the ballistic missile is launched, so as to achieve the early ballistic missile warning purpose, although later studies have shown that it can detect the infrared heat source of the Soviet Tu-22M3 backfire bomber engine when the afterburner is turned on, but no one knows what that capability is. Moreover, the engine of the J-74 is not as different as the NK32 equipped with the Tu-22M3. The thrust alone is much smaller, and at the same time, the infrared heat source is several levels smaller.

The J-74 fighters that took off in small batches thus smoothly concealed the powerful early air intelligence warning of the US imperialists, and the Iraqi J-74 fighters that took off from various airports did not mean to converge together, and they each flew according to their own tasks.

However, four of these fighters flew at a low altitude to the simulated air combat airspace used by the coalition forces not long ago.

Even these guys chose the way of ultra-low-altitude flight, and the flight plan seemed to be presentable, but they were soon discovered by the early warning aircraft in the air, and the plane was indeed flying at ultra-low altitude, but in terms of the terrain in the Gulf region, even if it was flying at ultra-low altitude, these uninvited guests were still caught by the American E-3 early warning aircraft far away in Saudi airspace.

The U.S. Air Force, which is worthy of its supremacy in air power, reacted as fast as it could have imagined, and after discovering four targets flying at an ultra-low altitude, the radar data quickly began to compare and contrast the information, and the information obtained was extremely accurate.

"Four F-7D (Yankee nomenclature) fighters flying at an ultra-low altitude were found in the C5 area, probably to prepare for a sneak attack with the dense formation flying from their front, and ordered XX, XX, XX, XX to intercept!"

The U.S. imperialist F-15 fleet in the forward operation has finally become interested and has been practicing for so long. Is Pakistan finally going to show some real skills?

"Understood, our formation went to intercept."

Gently flick the joystick. The four warplanes broke away from the main force and began to fly towards the designated airspace

This. It seems that something is wrong, the Yankees seem to mistake these J-74s from Iraq for imaginary enemy units piloted by the Pakistani Air Force?

This seems to be a bit of a joke, is this the plan of the Iraqi Air Force?

But this alone should not be enough to see, what kind of wind and waves can the four fighter planes turn up, the Iraqi air force commander really thinks that this can make the US imperialists deflated, it is impossible for the US imperialists to fight a World War II-like air war with Iraq with modern weapons, just like Iran!

The four F-15 fighters that received the mission quickly rushed to the designated airspace and intercepted the four planes very accurately on the way through which the four J-74s must go. The low-flying J-74 radar still had some effect, and when the two sides approached each other, they finally spotted the four F-15s that came to intercept them.

This is not quite the same as the original plan, let's say that the good thing is to fly at ultra-low altitudes, can you hide from the Yankees and secretly carry out attacks from behind?

No matter what you think in your heart, now that it has been discovered, you can only do it head-on, but before that, you must notify the air base in the rear.

"Base, here machine 0235. We were spotted by the U.S. military during our mission and are now preparing for combat. ”

Although he was forced to be calm when he spoke, he must still be a little drumming in his heart after knowing that he was facing the United States Flying Air Force. After trembling and reporting the news, he took a deep breath of pure oxygen from the oxygen mask before continuing on his assigned mission.

The ultra-low-altitude flight of the four J-74s did not have an advantage in altitude and speed. The radar performance could not be compared with other people's F-15s, and it was quickly locked by four F-15s of the US Air Force that came to intercept them. According to the regulations, they are going to withdraw from the battle.

But at this moment, the pilot of the US military looked at the fighter below that was locked by him a little strangely. These guys don't seem to follow the rules, they're all locked in, they're still maneuvering, and they're trying to attack themselves.

"Listen to the Pakistani pilots below, there is no way to escape from the small plane you are piloting, according to the rules, you have been shot down, please withdraw from the operation immediately."

After a message was sent over the designated radio communication channels between the two sides, no message came back, and the four planes continued to maneuver until the wingman let out an exclamation.

"She's, I'm locked on, these guys fired missiles"

Before the words were finished, the other side began a big overload maneuver, it seems that he is preparing to find a way to get rid of these two missiles, if the long plane doesn't know what's going on at this time, then it can really go to ****.

"Eagle's Nest, this is xx, the four planes flying at low altitude are fighters from Iraq, they have mixed into the training area, repeat, these planes"

After the words were urgently shouted, the AWACS plane did not have time to answer, because a large number of reflected radar targets had already appeared on the radar screen of the AWACS plane, and a large number of fighter planes had already taken off from various airfields on the Iraqi side, and there were more than 40 of them secretly.

The E-3 early warning aircraft knew that the number of air force fighters in the air was definitely not enough, and after weighing it, it sent out a message, and at the same time as notifying the air force base on the ground to fly fighters, the US Navy's aircraft carrier battle group also received news that the patrol Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier E-2 early warning aircraft with a vote of F-14 patrolling in the air also joined the battle group, and even the original imaginary enemy squadron, Pakistan's 20 J-74 were also assigned the task to escort the early warning aircraft, in order to free up the F-15 that was originally guarding the early warning aircraft.

At the moment, in the small bay area; Right over the Saudi-Kuwaiti border; Army armored units on the ground were watching the whole time. A battle between hundreds of modern fighters is about to begin, if yes, this should be the last air battle of the century of this century, of course, it is very likely to be a one-sided slaughter, I don't know if there will be a slight surprise in the end (to be continued). )
