"So far, none of us know what weapons the Arabs used!" The chief of staff's voice sounded tired. He pulled back into his chair and sat down heavily, his face dejected, full of anxiety and frustration:

"Mike, we can only count the battle damage now, and it will probably be a little later to get the pilots' written reports. However, there are already more than half of the lads, and they will never come back......"

McKinson was also in an extremely heavy mood, got up slowly, gently patted his old friend on the shoulder, and said in a low state of relief:

"May they rest in peace in the kingdom of heaven. The United States will definitely make the murderer pay, regardless of who the other side is! Certain! ”

The admiral's words were sonorous and powerful, but when the staff officers sent in the pilot's report, McKinson lost any mood to speak, and even his own thinking felt momentarily paused.

According to the various descriptions of the returning pilots, it soon became clear what kind of frightening journey they faced.

"Mills is right in front of me to the left, he's my long plane...... Yes, he was unlucky. But none of our radars have issued a warning of an attack...... I just inadvertently noticed that something like a missile had gotten into Mills' plane, and ...... Poor Mills! ”

"Yes, I'm sure it's a very powerful weapon, but ...... It is not yet certain whether it should be classified as a missile. Because I didn't see the tail flame that any missile should have, and I didn't find any infrared signature...... But it was still able to fly again in the air at great speed, and slaughter us like chickens. ”

"I've seen it before, it's small, it's black, it looks like a match." Although they have returned to the aircraft carrier, these pilots are still in shock and seem to be a little incoherent. "I saw it set Joseph's plane on fire...... Yes, that's it! I can also guarantee that poor Joseph was blown to pieces on the spot...... I don't think I'll ever get the two hundred dollars he owes me again......"

Seeing this, McKinson's heart has sunk to the bottom.

The small, nimble and powerful missile, which does not have any radar characteristics, adopts the offensive method of impact, rather than the method of injuring the enemy by exploding fragments at close range...... What a murderous warhead this must be? And, what kind of seeker does it use to achieve such accuracy?

More importantly, what kind of power system does it use to fly at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters? And it's smoke-free?

The admiral frowned tightly, then read a few more reports, and could no longer read them.

These reports, which have already been read, are already able to illustrate the characteristics and power of this small missile, and there is no need to look any further. Looking at the thick printing paper in front of him, McKinson seemed to have seen the chilling American pilots and their freezing dead morale.

The fear of such missiles is so strong that air strikes will have to abate, at least in the near term, at least for carrier groups.

If these frightened pilots are forcibly ordered to continue their mission, it is estimated that it will be difficult to achieve the desired results even if there is no threat from the opponent's missiles! Rather than that, it's better to adjust for a while.

But the ground battle is about to begin, and will the American GIs, who have lost air cover and support, still be able to achieve the campaign objectives set before?

They...... Will there still be war?

That's a problem.

Looking at the thick stack of reports in front of him, McKinson's heart was bitter, as if he saw that the dense US fighter planes were suddenly bursting, and the flames were all over the sky. The wreckage and debris of the plane flew through the air, and the pilot panicked and tried to flee, only to turn into a new ball of fire in the blink of an eye......

And the small missiles with black pointed heads, like arrows shot by death, they are silent, they are everywhere. With a grim smile of death, the entire sky was filled with ruthless harvesting the lives of American pilots......

In front of them, all the warplanes that the United States is proud of have become Thanksgiving turkeys, and they can only tremble in the slaughter that will come at an unknown time, because there is nowhere to escape, let alone where to escape!

They dominate the skies, fierce and ruthless.

They destroy everything they can destroy, but until the surviving American planes return home in a hurry, these once menacing Americans have not seen each other's so-called second-generation old fighters!

Under the blow of such missiles, the performance of the aircraft itself has become unimportant. This is also true for both the attacking United States and the defending Divine Alliance.

As long as there is the ability to carry such missiles into the air and launch them, it makes no difference whether it is a jet second-generation aircraft or a more backward propeller aircraft.

The role of the airplane is nothing more than a carrier of missiles and an air launch pad - and who will remember the waiter who served the delicious food while enjoying a big meal?

McKinson slowly recovered from his contemplation and immediately gave the order for the carrier group to rest. Only by staying away from that damn missile can carrier-based pilots get enough time to adjust their mentality!

As for the land battle that was about to take place in southern Turkey, McKinson was determined to proceed normally. However, the air support and strike missions originally scheduled to be carried out by fighters were handed over to the surface-to-surface missile units.

In order to realize his plan, McKinson also communicated urgently with European allies while informing Washington. Because after two missile attacks, the United States is running out of cruise missiles and must ask NATO allies for help. And to ensure a missile attack on the positions of the Divine League, re-entry weapons cannot be used - so far, the Arabs have been 100% successful in intercepting ballistic missiles above medium range!

Therefore, in order to achieve battlefield support for ground forces, we can only rely on individual missiles, short-range ground-to-ground missiles, cruise missiles, and rockets. Otherwise, judging from past experience, no matter how many medium-range and long-range missiles are launched, they are also doomed to disappear into space, and the effectiveness of the attack will not be realized at all.

Therefore, the United States must be supported by weapons from its European allies.

Although it is not yet certain how many and when the allies will be able to provide missiles, McKinson has met with a good thing that has diluted his frustration.

When Huaxia purchased the former Soviet semi-finished aircraft carrier "Varyag" from a Ukrainian shipyard, in order to be able to pass through the Bosphorus, it sold dozens of WS-1 long-range rocket launchers to Turkey, and also transferred the production license of modified rockets. Turkey subsequently modified it, mainly by adding a more advanced guidance system, which not only has an ultra-long range of 200 kilometers, but also has a more accurate hitting ability.

And this kind of rocket artillery with long range, high accuracy, and large coverage is the best support firepower of the US ground forces at present!

This is a perverted existence comparable to a short-range surface-to-surface missile, but it is cheaper, faster, more cost-effective, and more flexible and battlefield survivable! As long as the ammunition supply can keep up, support is available anytime, anywhere.

And this kind of unconscionable rocket artillery that can only be described as "heartbroken", because of the density of its projectiles, it is basically impossible to intercept!

It is a pity that even if the Turks obtained the license and production technology of the WS-1 rocket launcher, and also carried out some upgrades, because the Turks were naturally lazy and casual, this type of mass killing weapon was not sufficiently maintained, so it would be difficult for the US army to get rocket artillery support for a period of time after the start of the ground campaign.

But even so, the WS-1 is still McKinson's best ground support firepower, especially if a large number of ballistic missiles cannot break through the Covenant's space defenses.

To this end, in his report to Washington, the admiral also emphasized the need to use strategic transport aircraft to deliver a large number of long-range rocket launchers produced by the United States to the battlefield as soon as possible, and "this is very, very, very important for the young men of the American ground forces!" ”

The president immediately replied, ordering all strategic transport aircraft on the U.S. mainland to participate in the operation, and demanding that all ground support weapons of the U.S. forces stationed in Europe must immediately rush to Turkey to cheer on the impending offensive of the U.S. ground forces.

Under the gray achievements of the Navy and Air Force, only the ground forces that have not yet been shown can bring a trace of hope to both the US military and the government!

Even for the sake of the face of the United States, the president asked the secretary of state to immediately contact the Huaxia government to discuss the purchase of the WS-2 in the Huaxia military equipment. However, Liu Yun gave a direct reply:

"According to the package agreement that has been signed between Huaxia State and Tianfeng Group, all military industrial systems have the participation of Tianfeng Group, so this is a market behavior and should be contacted with Tianfeng Group. In this regard, the Huaxia government promised that it could only guarantee any normal order of the market economy. ”

Tai Chi is the quintessence of China, how can Americans be the enemy?

Therefore, after contacting Tianfeng Group, he was directly pushed far away by Liu Shuai, the general manager of the group.

“WS-2？”

Mr. Liu said he was confused: "What is it?" How come I have never heard of it? Yes? You say it's a rocket launcher produced by our group? Uh, is there one? Is there really one? If so, how could I not know? Oh, and if there is, I'll think about whether to sell it or not...... You know, this kind of dangerous goods, Tianfeng Group generally does not touch it......"

Even the aerospace plane has flown I don't know how many times, and you still advertise Tianfeng as "not touching dangerous goods"? This degree of shamelessness is even more powerful than that of our United States!

The Secretary of State put down the phone stupidly, and was careful that his liver was full of slander and contempt for Mr. Liu.

Of course, Liu Shuai will not affect his mood because of his feelings on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and his backhand is a phone call, which successfully harasses Chairman Han, who is comforting a pregnant woman:

"Crazy brother, the Americans asked me to tell you that it's the dead of night now, it's time to get up and pee!"
