Vehicles with 8*8 off-road chassis are now more common in Iraq, in the mountains, this kind of vehicles with a higher traffic rate, can adapt to those without hardening cement roads, and in desert areas, you can go back and forth in the sand dunes without worrying about falling into sand pits.

The only drawback is that this kind of vehicle is too fuel-intensive, 8*8 driven vehicles, which consume several times more fuel than a simple rear-wheel drive, but, compared to tracked vehicles, it is fuel-efficient.

With its good adaptability, this vehicle occupies half of the Iraqi transport market.

Now, in the Syrian desert of Anbar Province in western Iraq, such a vehicle mainly composed of 8*8 off-road heavy trucks is traveling on the desert with no end in sight, and the heavy trucks are covered with a layer of camouflage very similar to the desert, and it is difficult to find the target from the high sky, with reconnaissance planes or reconnaissance satellites.

The huge wheels, which left a rut in the desert, but then, obscured by the yellow sand blowing from behind, regained its calm, as if no convoy had ever passed, and the characteristic whistle-like roar of the supercharger engine had disappeared into the sand dunes in the distance.

Varich sat on a Mercedes-Benz NG-80 heavy-duty truck chassis modified launch vehicle, staring into the distance with blazing eyes.

With the development of the Iraqi missile project, Qusay felt that it was necessary to create a new branch of the armed forces of the USSR independently, Iraq's own Strategic Missile Forces!

Although now, Iraq only has two kinds of missiles, the Red Bird III and the OTP-23, which can be regarded as this level in front of the front, but this is only the beginning, the Red Bird III cruise missile and the OTP-23 ballistic missile, both missiles have a range of less than 1,000 kilometers, however, Iraq will continue to improve on the basis of the two missiles, in particular, after a while, the Dongfeng-3 missile with a range of 3,000 kilometers will be introduced, and when the time comes, with the nuclear warhead developed by Iraq itself, then, Iraq finally had a killer weapon.

Therefore, this kind of unit specifically responsible for strategic missiles needs to be organized, and Qusai personally supervised this matter and organized this unit, and the name of the unit is only called Unit No. 3, and Qusay does not think of a resounding name that has attracted the attention of certain foreign forces.

As for the commander of the troops, he must choose the most loyal subordinates, and among his subordinates, Qusay chose Warih, who has been loyal to him since the first day he came to this world, and has always been loyal, very capable, and a person with a relatively high level of education.

So Qusay transferred Warih out of the Sidewinder special forces and became the commander of Unit 3, which now has Iraq's Red Bird III missiles and some OTP-23 missiles. (The other part is used to be attached to the field division, which is used to perform the same role as the Scud, suppressing the enemy on the front line while hiding the presence of its own troops.) At the same time, due to the special nature of the troops, part of the technicians of missile factories and graduates of the University of Baghdad were absorbed. The missile unit is a high-tech force that needs a large number of knowledgeable and educated personnel to come in and act as the backbone force.

At the same time, since this force will later undertake the launch of Iraq's nuclear forces, it must be the most loyal, and all those who join this force are strictly vetted, and all of them are members of the Baath Party.

This missile attack was the first major combat mission since the establishment of Unit 3, so Warich attached great importance to it, especially since the target of their attack was Israel's nuclear facilities.

The digital map that the cruise missiles provided by the Soviet Union needed to be used, Joseph's team has completed the conversion of map data on the missile attack route and loaded it into the missiles, and these missiles have already installed all the data of the target in advance, assigned the task of each missile, all they need to do is to reach the predetermined launch position and launch the missile!

The convoy consists of a total of 35 vehicles, of which 22 are quadruple missile launchers, with a total of 86 missiles, and 10 logistics support and maintenance vehicles that can eliminate various faults at any time, two fuel supply vehicles to provide supplies to the convoy at any time, and one communication vehicle that keeps in touch with the superiors.

Warih led Unit 3 through the desert and eventually arrived at the predetermined launch site: a predetermined launch position about five kilometers from the border with Jordan.

"Note that the launch vehicle is spaced at an interval of 100 meters, and finally confirm its latitude and longitude bearing, fine-tune the launch elements, and prepare for launch." Warich shouted over the radio.

When a land-based missile is launched, it needs to ignite the engine, and at the same time there is a booster, and there will be flames coming out, which will affect its own surroundings, so there should be a certain distance between the two launch vehicles.

The accuracy of cruise missiles can reach several meters, and if you want to hit accurately, then it is more important to accurately determine your own position before launching.

However, even if there is some error during the launch, because during the flight, they can accurately fly to the preset orbit according to the comparison of the digital map, they do this, just to increase the accuracy as much as possible and reduce the error.

The convoy stopped, and at a predetermined spacing, the convoy slowly unfolded.

A fighter jumped out of the launch vehicle, kicked on the guardrail at the rear, climbed onto the roof of the vehicle, folded the camouflage net covering it.

Suddenly, the huge square barrel under the camouflage net was revealed, and inside each square barrel, there was a Red Bird No. 3 missile ready to be launched!

Several personnel in charge of operation jumped out of the cab in front of them, climbed into the control room more than two meters wide in the back, activated the instrument, and made the final preparations before launching.

The lights on the instrument panel flashed one after another, and the final detection of the four Redbird III missiles behind was underway, while the digital map of the flight path and midway was locked for the last time, ready for the final launch.

"Erection missiles." The next command came.

Now, with the roar of the engine, the hydraulic oil is pressed into the cylinder, and two large hydraulic rods slowly raise the quadruple missile launcher.

The missile is placed in parallel to the back, if it is launched directly, then, as soon as the missile comes out of the launch canister, it will hit the equipment compartment in front, however, this cruise missile is originally flying at an ultra-low altitude, so there is no need to completely erect the launch canister like launching a ballistic missile, as long as the inclination angle reaches 48 degrees, the outlet of the launch canister can be left from the safe distance from the top of the equipment cabin in front.

Dozens of cars are raising missile launchers together, and this kind of sight is probably the first time in the entire Middle East, and even in the whole world!

"Report, Unit Three, complete the pre-launch preparations, ready to launch at any time!" Through the secret channel on the communication vehicle, an airwave, flew back to Baghdad.

Iraq's Ministry of Defense has entered the most tense atmosphere at this moment, because Iraq's attack on Israel's nuclear program, the most critical step in the entire plan of Babylonian Fury, is about to begin!

"What is the situation in our exercise area?" Qusay asked.

"According to our pre-arrangement, Prince Sultan has announced a change in the plan of the exercise, the target of the attack is set on the border with Israel in Jordan, and now, our air force warplanes have flown across the Jordanian border, the ground forces have advanced north at full speed, and the Jordanian army is now waiting for our troops on the border line, ready to indicate the target in front."

"What is the reaction of the Israeli side?"

"The main fighter planes of the Israeli Air Force have taken off and are patrolling the skies over southern Israel, and at the same time, an AWACS aircraft has taken off and is monitoring our exercise aircraft, ready to respond to our possible invasion of the opponent's airspace."

Diverting the attention of the Israeli air force will be more conducive to the covert flight of its own cruise missiles.

"At the same time, there is a part of Israel's fighters, which took off in the direction of the Mediterranean coast." Adnan then added. (To be continued.) )
