Chapter 070, unsuccessful
Although the war began, just like the intercepted Tomahawk missile, the situation was very bad, and the United States, France, Britain, Italy, and other European powers did not dispatch their land forces to carry out landing operations, but they assembled nearly six aircraft carrier attack groups in the direction of the Black Sea to carry out missile fixed-point attacks on the Northeast Military Region of the Prophet Army.
At the beginning of the war, the navies of the four countries, led by the United States, launched a total of 300 surface-to-air missiles, and their strategic goal was to defeat the Northeast Military Region, which was the strongest of the Prophet's Army, and then cooperate with the Turkish Second Field Army stationed in the south to attack Iraq.
For the commander of the multinational force, George the Supreme Commander of the US Central Command, this plan is foolproof, although the Prophet Army is powerful, but the US military does not come into direct contact with the Prophet Army, but provides indirect weapons and war material support to Turkey, Israel, Jordan and Saudi Arabia by sea and air, and in addition to a small number of land forces sent by Japan, the Philippines, and other countries to carry out an integrated attack on Iraq by land, sea and air, the final victory of the war must belong to the multinational forces led by the United States.
Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has not suffered any defeat, and a confident George believes that the real combat effectiveness is still the Northeast Military Region of the Prophet Army, which has two group armies under its jurisdiction, each with about 50,000 troops, and as long as this unit is defeated by many miraculous achievements, the war will basically be won.
After all, General Black's name is much louder in New Iraq than Simon, second only to that prophet, and defeating the new Iraqi god of war means defeating the confidence of the new Iraqis to fight back.
In George's eyes, this black general is not difficult to deal with, under the absolute force of the United States, in the strong army must also yield, he believes that the reason why Taylor will lose is because Taylor is a brainless fool, alone in the depths, giving up the greatest advantage of the U.S. military, so as to be contained in Iraq.
However, two hours after the war began, George realized that something was wrong, and nearly three hundred surface-to-air missiles saturated the strike, but did not cause much damage to the Northeast Military District.
Contrary to his expectations, his missiles did not work so well, and the Prophet Army was on the verge of bombing, and according to limited intelligence, nine out of ten of the missiles they fired were intercepted by the Iraqi Territorial Defense Force.
The reason why they say that they have limited intelligence is because they sent Iraqi intelligence officers are all cautious, there is no way, the nose of the Iraqi intelligence agency is simply more sensitive than the nose of the CIA, at least nine of the ten intelligence officers have been captured, and one of the intelligence provided is not of great value, so they have limited information in Iraq.
But George still brazenly launched an attack, it doesn't matter if there is no intelligence, they can use missiles to strike at military targets detected by satellites, as long as the strike, Turkey's Second Field Army will be dispatched, and it will naturally be captured.
George's face darkened when he learned that all the missiles had been intercepted, that only a few had landed in Iraq, and that they had not been blown up by military targets.
The staff officers of the multinational force also have a bad face, and it is not a good thing that they have not won the division, but this war has begun, and they must fight it to the end.
I haven't heard of a country that declares war with another country, just fires a few missiles, and then dies down, and besides, they are willing to die down, is the Prophet Army willing? The answer is clearly no.
So, after some deliberation, they decided to launch a surgical attack on Iraq with fighter jets, targeting the main force of the Prophet's army.
As a result, five aircraft carriers of various types of fighters began to rise into the air, and under the cover of AWACS and electronic warfare aircraft, they passed through the territory of Turkey and began to bomb the Northeast Military District of Iraq, and at the same time various missiles also carried out cover bombing at the same time.
According to the Supreme Commander of the Combined Fleet, Alexander, the Russian monitoring ship saw a scene of thousands of arrows in the Black Sea.
From AWACS planes to electronic warfare aircraft, to fighter-bombers, and finally missiles, they roared towards Iraq's Northeast Military District.
Alexander felt that the multinational force was crazy at that time, and at the same time pinched a cold sweat for the prophet army guarding the Northeast Military Region, and wondered if the big black man could handle it.
In fact, without Alexander's intelligence, the Supreme Commander of the Territorial Defense Forces, General Xu Liang, had already obtained the actions of the Black Sea side and the Turkish Air Force through radar.
"Damn, American dick is going to die!" Even Xu Liang, the commander of the Air Defense Force, who has experienced a hundred battles, was taken aback by this formation, but this did not intimidate him, you must know that the air defense system in his hand was all S-400 Triumph.
Without saying a word, he issued an order to launch the missiles of all the air defense divisions in the northeast and central regions, and the S-400 Triumph at this time played a huge advantage, after the missiles were launched, there was no need for reaction time at all, and they could completely search for targets in the air.
But they intercepted all missiles, and there were a small number of unlucky Turkish planes, and he couldn't bear to let Xu Liang's territorial defense force take on the entire defense task, after all, there were too many enemies, and then he immediately called the air force.
When Aziz received the information, he immediately ordered all fighters in the northeastern and central provinces to take to the air, and a battle of the world's most advanced fighters began.
The Iraqi pilots are full of confidence, and the fighters they are flying now are not the kind of garbage that Saddam Hussein, many of them are from Russia's most advanced fighters, from MiG-29 to Su-30, and the General Armament Department even sent them the most advanced Su-35 fighters in the past two months.
This kind of fighter with air combat as the main fighter, called the ultimate flanker by NATO, although it is only three and a half generations of fighters, it is the best fighter in the Russian fighter sequence, the Air Force and Russia talked for a long time, only to order 60 planes, and it is still the kind that does not give technology.
In addition to the strongest F22 Raptor stealth fighter in the United States, the third-generation F15, F16 and other advanced main fighters are almost powerless in front of the Su-35.
Even the F35, which is called the most expensive fourth-generation fighter, has fallen behind, and the only one that can compete, in addition to the F22 Raptor, is the carrier-based aircraft F-18 Super Hornet on American aircraft carriers.
But it's just a competition, and the Su-35's maneuverability definitely surpasses that of the F-18.
Almost all of the pilots who have just arrived in Iraq and have only been trained for less than two weeks are the ace pilots of the Iraqi Air Force, who have flown all kinds of Russian planes and participated in almost all air battles from before and after the establishment of the new Iraq.
The first to fight with the new Iraqi Air Force was, of course, the Turkish Air Force, but they did not expect that they had just flown into the territory of Iraq, and before they could see the target, the radar showed that they were locked, and dozens of F16 fighters of the Turkish Air Force were directly destroyed, while the Iraqi Air Force was not damaged.
The airborne radar on the Su-35 is far wider than the airborne radar on the F-16 of the Turkish Air Force, and the radar network coverage of the Territorial Defense Force, they have been locked by the missiles of the Territorial Defense Force and the Iraqi Air Force before they have entered the territory of Iraq.
Perhaps the Turkish Air Force did not expect the Iraqi Air Force to dispatch so quickly, and it was an advanced Su-35 fighter, which was completely wiped out before it could be photographed.
In one day's air battle, the Prophet Army dispatched as many as 500 sorties, while the NATO side dispatched nearly 800 sorties.
The Prophet Army destroyed a total of 151 NATO Air Force planes, of which more than 50 were of the Turkish Air Force, and the other 101 were naturally of NATO Air Force, of which the Air Force of Britain, France, and Italy suffered the greatest losses, and the United States also lost more than 20 aircraft.
The losses on the side of the Prophet were almost negligible, with a total of twelve planes destroyed, except for two that crashed in the air.
The most advanced Su-35 fighters, not a single one was lost, the most serious of which were MiG-29 and Su-27 fighters.
This result has caused a sensation almost all over the world, and the first battle is of course important, but it is the first time since the beginning of the 21 st century that such a large-scale air battle has been held.
Since the end of the Cold War, most air battles have been fought by the weak, but this air war was of equal strength, and it can even be said that the Iraqi Air Force is in a weak position, but it has created a glorious page in the history of air warfare in the world.
It is conceivable that if it were not for the fact that the air forces of other provinces still had to deal with Israel and other three countries, I am afraid that the results of this air war would have expanded.
For the Iraqi Air Force, this war is a shameful battle, in the previous multinational forces attacked, they did not go out at all, so the Iraqi Air Force was scolded as a waste, cowards who escaped from the battle, no matter how many reasons can be explained to them afterwards, but these two names have hung on them for more than ten years.
And today, they are flying the most advanced fighter jets and winning a big victory in the battle against the NATO Air Force, which is a baptism for them for a long time.
Of course, in addition to making the Iraqi Air Force famous, there are two other things that this air battle has also made the world famous, the same is the Russian S-400 Triumph and the Su-35 Ultimate Flanker.
No one expected that Russia would be so generous in giving Iraq these two most advanced conventional weapons, and after counting them, they found that the multinational force was unjustly defeated.
If they had known that the new Iraq had these two weapons, I am afraid they would not have launched such a rash attack, and in their intelligence, although the fighters of the Iraqi Air Force are all third-generation fighters, there are absolutely no three-and-a-half-generation fighters, so they are full of confidence.
In their eyes, Iraq's territorial defense forces have the S-300 Proud Air Defense Missile System, but they did not expect that they actually have the more advanced S-400 Triumph air defense system.
And at this time, on the American nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, George hung his head, and if there was no war if, how good it would be
