Chapter 36: The Luxury Weapons Exhibition

In the blink of an eye, he entered the final exam, and in the past few days, Ye Kai has been busy and tired of dealing with various test papers.

This is also the third year of high school, the last official final exam, once the Spring Festival passes, it will enter the countdown to the college entrance examination, at that time I am afraid that I have to face various test exams every day, just for the last sprint.

In fact, for the current children in Beijing, the enthusiasm for the college entrance examination is still not very sufficient.

There is no other reason, mainly because once you enter the university, the graduation distribution is for the whole country, if you are assigned to other provinces in the future, then the hukou in the capital can not be retained, so it seems that the gains outweigh the losses.

After all, in the eyes of most people in the capital, as a person from the capital, he is originally an innate advantageous resource, and he has a sense of superiority, just like the children of the Eight Banners at the beginning.

Ye Kai is also very clear about this, just like how many years later, a hukou in the capital can still be hyped up to hundreds of thousands, which is very able to illustrate this problem.

However, for Ye Kai, naturally there is no such problem, he took the college entrance examination just to mix up a good reputation, after all, he was admitted to a good famous university with his own strength, and among many family forces, it also seems to be more face-saving.

In Ye Kai's anticipation, Ning Shuang finally appeared, but it was only a glimpse.

When the exam was over and before the official winter vacation, Ning Shuang disappeared again, which made Ye Kai feel a little stunned.

However, Chen Fang shook in front of Ye Kai's eyes from time to time, as if he was a little speechless.

Ye Kai has some feelings for Chen Fang, after all, Chen Fang's figure is too angry, and she doesn't look bad, it is indeed very attractive, but Ye Kai also understands that Chen Fang looks a little spicy, but in fact he is relatively conservative in some aspects, if he really gets involved, I'm afraid it will not be easy to get rid of it.

At least at this stage, Ye Kai didn't want to cause a lot of trouble for himself.

At this time, the eyes of China and foreign countries are mainly focused on the other side of the bay.

On 2 August last year, Iraqi forces invaded Kuwait, overthrew the Kuwaiti government and announced its annexation. On 16 January this year, the US-led multinational force began a military offensive against Iraqi forces in Kuwait and Iraq after obtaining a United Nations mandate.

This war was also the first large-scale local war in which the U.S. military took the lead since the Vietnam War. In the war, for the first time, the US military put a large number of high-tech weapons into actual combat, demonstrating overwhelming air and electromagnetic superiority. Through the Gulf War, the United States further strengthened its military and political cooperation with the countries of the Persian Gulf region and strengthened its military presence in the Middle East.

However, most people's eyes can only stay at a relatively superficial level, for example, if you look at the news reports, count how many Iraqi Scud missiles were intercepted by Patriot missiles today, and what special remarks Saddam made and so on.

At least at this time, the domestic public opinion is still guided by the Americans as the evil party, and most people are more sympathetic to the resistance of the Iraqi side. You've just heard that there are more oil wells there.

"Oh, shot down again!" There was a flurry of boos among the students watching in front of the TV in the cafeteria.

Looking at the bursts of light that appeared on the screen and fell, Ye Kai was also quite interested in this.

During the "Desert Storm" operation, Iraq's Soviet-made weapons and equipment and US weapons and equipment engaged in a large-scale direct confrontation, and although the Iraqi army was defeated, its "Scud" series of mobile campaign tactical missile systems caused the US military to suffer a lot.

During the Saddam period, Iraq mainly imported Soviet weapons and equipment, and its army construction was similar to that of the Soviet army, so special attention was paid to missile weapons, and units at or above the division level were equipped with missile systems, mainly "Scud-B".

The Scud-B system is an improved liquid-fueled missile capable of loading a 100-kilogram yield of nuclear, explosive, chemical or high-explosive warheads, with a length of 11.25 meters, a diameter of 0.88 meters, a range of 300 kilometers, and a circular probability deviation of 450 meters.

With the assistance of Soviet experts and with the participation of Egyptian and French experts, the Iraqi army has developed various modifications, mainly to reduce the weight of the warhead and increase the firing range, and the flight trajectory of the improved missile is similar to the original, but the firing range is longer and can enter the dense atmosphere at high speed.

The US military attaches great importance to the threat posed by the Iraqi army's "Scud" missiles, and according to reconnaissance information, the Iraqi army has about 800 "Scud" missiles of various types. On the day the war began, the Allies seized air supremacy, and in the first few days, all the fixed launch platforms of the Iraqi army were attacked, 12 of which were completely destroyed and 13 were seriously damaged.

However, the Allied air power was unable to completely prevent the launch of the Iraqi "Scud" missile.

Before the war, the US military did not receive any information on the Iraqi army's tactical plan for the use of missile weapons, but it was estimated that there would be about 30 to 50 mobile launchers for the two types of "Scud" missiles.

US military experts believe that the Iraqi army will launch missiles from positions prepared in advance, as it did during the Iran-Iraq war, and for this it is necessary to make corresponding preparations, and radio communication will be carried out before launching, which will take about one hour, so that the "Scud" mobile launcher can be detected and destroyed in time.

In actual combat, the Iraqi army usually took only 10 minutes from preparation to the completion of the launch, and then quickly left, and the Americans paid the price for it.

During the Gulf War, the Iraqi army launched a total of 88 missiles, most of them in the early stages of the war, of which 40 percent were launched in the first week of the war.

There are also a number of launchers near Baghdad, which are used as maneuvers. Because the "Scud" missile did not hit accurately and had a large error, the losses of the allied forces were not large, and only once did the Iraqi missile fall into a US barracks, killing 28 people.

Because the Iraqi army usually launches missiles at night, US fighters were forced to use infrared and other equipment to search for mobile missile launch systems, and found a total of 42 launches, only 8 of which were bombed in time, and the results were not ideal.

However, although the Americans did not completely intercept the "Scud" missile, they also demonstrated the powerful interception strength of the "Patriot missile".

Ye Kai also knew very well that after the Gulf War, the Americans made a lot of improvements and follow-up research and development, and raised the missile interception system plan to a high strategic significance.

"I should also talk to the second old man about this." Ye Kai pondered in his heart.
