Morenko pulled the parachute line, followed the paratrooper car, and landed together. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When his feet were firmly on the ground, Molenko pressed the parachute button, separated from the parachute, and ran in the direction of the paratrooper vehicle. For paratroopers, the process of landing is the most dangerous moment, and if the Iranians move fast enough, maybe there are troops rushing here!

The paratroopers who fall from the sky determine that they cannot carry heavy weapons, and the range of parachute landing will be quite large, and the speed of the troop build-up determines the success or failure of the parachute.

And Morenko quickly ran to the paratrooper car, this is their most important weapon.

It can be said that the Soviet Union is the ancestor of the Airborne Forces, and before World War II, the Soviet Airborne Forces parachuted under the observation of foreign observation missions, which shocked the entire Western world at that time, and after that, the Western world also began to equip its own paratrooper units. At that time, it was only possible to land people down.

After World War II until the beginning of the 60s, the Soviet Airborne Forces were armed only with ASU-57 and ASU-85 airborne self-propelled anti-tank guns, which belonged to fire support weapons, after all, the greatest threat to the Airborne Forces was the enemy's armored forces. But now, with the mechanization of the troops, the Soviet airborne forces are far behind, and they urgently need to develop an airborne assault combat weapon. Thus, on the basis of the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle, the BMD-1 paratrooper fighting vehicle, which was reduced in size and weight, and applied airdrop technology, appeared specifically for the use of the Airborne Forces.

Low turret, 73mm 2A28 low-bore pressure howitzer with a single-track launcher for SEG anti-tank missiles above the turret. The other parachute members also quickly assembled towards the nearest paratrooper vehicle.

The driver got into the cockpit and started the 6V water-cooled diesel engine, and with the roar of the engine, the 300-horsepower diesel engine was started, and then one member after another got into the crew compartment at the back.

Soon, six members were filled, and the rest of the soldiers, who did not find the combat vehicle, jumped into the upper part of the paratrooper vehicle and grabbed the improvised welded handrails.

In the roar, one paratrooper car after another started to move, and new paratroopers who landed constantly jumped up and assembled in a rapid progress.

As the first paratroopers to set foot on the southern soil of Iran, they need to quickly complete the combat missions assigned to them by their superiors!

Paratrooper vehicles, moving quickly towards the eastern border.

United States, White House.

Although the United States had long expected that the Soviet Union would not be willing to watch the United States kick open the door of Iran, the Soviet Union at that time did not react at all, and now, with the United States withdrawing from Iran, it seems that Iran has calmed down, except that the Soviet Union supports Iraq and is at war with Iran, there is no other incident.

But now, the Iranians are desperately creating terror in the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union, in a-for-tat manner, has actually sent troops to invade Iran! This made the top level of the United States begin to get excited, since the Soviet Union started from the north, then the United States may be able to break through from the south again!

Northern Iran, there is nothing, their oil resources, mainly on the coast of the Persian Gulf! Therefore, if the US army attacks along the south this time, it will first take Chakhbahar and other cities!

The American top brass was in high spirits until this astonishing news arrived.

The Soviets, the Airborne Forces have landed in the province of Sistan in southern Iran!

"The intentions of the Soviets are already obvious, they are definitely not just trying to teach HMN a lesson, they are trying to completely occupy Iran and open the passage to the south!" National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski said: "This is something that Russians have always dreamed of since the time of the tsars!" Back then, after the end of World War II, the Soviets would not have wanted to withdraw their troops from Iran at all, if it were not for our resolute opposition! And now, under the banner of anti-terrorism, the Soviets want to build a passage south to the Indian Ocean! ”

If the Soviets were just to teach HMN a lesson, they would definitely not have paratroopers parachuted into the province of Sistan! You know, this is the outlet of the Persian Gulf, the northern shore of the Indian Ocean! If the United States can't see anything now, then Americans' brains will be.

Moreover, the Soviets parachuted there precisely to prevent the United States from meddling! The Soviet troops attacking from the north to the south, even if they played the full level of the 79 military exercises in the West, it would take two or three days to advance through, and in the past two days, the United States must have blocked the southern gate!

"We must not allow the Soviets to succeed in their plots! If the Soviets hit the Indian Ocean, then the entire Indian Ocean will be under the control of the Soviet Union, and the most important energy source in the Middle East will also face a serious crisis! Secretary of Defense Harold followed.

It is the sphere of influence of the United States, and the Soviets must not be allowed to get their hands on it!

"But now, the Soviets are already there, and if we want to stop the Soviets, it will only be a war with the Soviets, and our air force has already made contact." "Air force engagement alone can be limited to a certain size, and if our ground forces are engaged, it can deteriorate very quickly," Warren said. Ladies and gentlemen, we are now here to stabilize the situation, not to trigger a third world war. ”

Warren is a conservative, and now the strength of the United States is simply not enough to provoke a third world war! The best chance is at the end of World War II, when the Soviets had already killed tens of millions of men, and the Soviets did not have nuclear weapons!

Now, war must not be easily provoked!

"This time it's different, the Soviets are trying to control the whole of Iran! If we allow the Soviets to develop, then once the Soviets control the entrance to the Persian Gulf, then the whole of Western Europe will have to look at the face of the Soviets! Harold said.

"Moreover, the Soviets paratrooped in the air, and they simply killed themselves. In the absence of access to airfields in Iran, their fighters must fly for at least half an hour before they can reach the airspace over the south, while our fighters can pass in 10 minutes after taking off, and now, the sky above Sistan Province is ours, and their AWACS planes cannot fly all the time, and those fighters they escort will not stay in the air for more than 10 minutes. Without air supremacy, those paratroopers are even easily surrounded and annihilated by the border forces of the Iranians! Brzezinski said.

The Soviets must have had a cerebral convulsion and dared to carry out an airdrop thousands of miles away! Before the arrival of their ground forces, those paratroopers, purely an appetizer! (To be continued.) )
