Chapter 1114: The Discovery of the Goddess of Dawn

The Saar-5 is just a frigate of more than a thousand tons, and in order to integrate various weapons and equipment on such a small frigate, then, it is essential to lead to an upward shift in the center of gravity, and Israel, in order to solve this problem, they have adopted the simplest method, the upper stage is made of aluminum alloy!

Aluminum alloy looks more beautiful and light in weight, but there is one biggest disadvantage, that is, the ignition point is too low, to put it simply, as long as it is lit, it will burn. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the Falklands War, the British Type 42 destroyer Shelfield was finally burned down because of this defect, and after that, all warships were built to abandon aluminum alloy and continue to use cold steel.

However, the Saar-5 continued to use this material, which was also a last resort to reduce the weight of the upper deck and avoid the risk of overturning in high-speed corners.

As a result, when Barak could no longer track the missile that was maneuvering in a serpentine shape and lost its target, and the anti-ship missile burrowed into the stomach of the Saar-5, a catastrophe struck.

The semi-armor-piercing warhead with a charge of 165 kg almost tore the Sal-5 in two, and in the violent explosion, the superstructure was ablaze.

The Israeli naval personnel showed great courage and fought the fire for half an hour, but, in desperation, left in a dinghy before the Saar-5 sank.

Thanks to the automated system, there were only 70 naval fighters on the Saar-5, and in the process of the explosion and firefighting, twenty people were lost, and the remaining fifty people left safely.

At half past eight, the Arab Space Corporation announced that because of the launch window, their launch vehicle would be test-launched at 8:40 a.m.

This news made the American side scramble for a while, because they adjusted the orbit of the satellite, and prepared to let enough satellites pass over the sky at 10 o'clock, which led to the fact that at 8:40, they actually did not have a reconnaissance satellite to pass there!

However, what is still powerful is that one of their new reconnaissance planes at this time will happen to fly over there during that time period!

That new reconnaissance aircraft is a new American project that has been rumored in the outside world for several years, the Goddess of Dawn. Now that it has completed all its test flights, it will take on reconnaissance missions after the SR-71 is decommissioned, and now it is in flight training, flying from its base in the Nevada desert to an atoll in the Pacific Ocean, then flying to Scotland to refuel and return to the United States in the evening.

This kind of reconnaissance plane can reach a maximum speed of Mach 7, so after this kind of reconnaissance plane is put into service, it can fly in the sky at will, and there is no need to worry about being shot down, because now, all missiles cannot fly at Mach 4.

Iraq pinched very accurately, but Qusay was not omnipotent, they monitored all the US reconnaissance satellites overhead, but they could not learn about the new US stealth high-speed reconnaissance aircraft.

However, it is precisely because of this that the United States did not participate in the war in the end, but chose to let Israel take a step back and maintain the peace situation. In one of the huge factories of Arab Space, final preparations are now underway.

If you want to launch a launch vehicle, you need to choose a launch window and conduct various tests at the same time, but when you launch a ballistic missile, there are not so many considerations, when the superior orders will launch, then when will it be launched!

Since it was developed on the basis of the Pioneer ballistic missile, which was 15 meters long when the warhead was not attached, the third pole has now been added, and at the same time the load has been added, so the total length of the missile has been extended to 19.5 meters long, and the missile launcher imported from the Soviet Union is not long enough, so it is first equipped with a tractor produced by Iraq for the time being.

Even so, it has sufficient maneuverability to pull this missile and shuttle back and forth across the Middle East.

Now, towing the missile, they slowly walked out, ready to enter the open space next to the launch site, they did not use the launch tower of the launch vehicle, which was specially prepared for liquid launch vehicles, this launch, and at the same time tested whether the launch device was working properly. Anyway, when the Americans found out, they could only guess the initial launch location based on the trajectory of the missile.

Just as Iraq was announcing, the launch vehicle came to the launch site outside, right next to the launch tower, the hydraulic legs stretched out, and then the missile began to slowly erect.

In the sky, a huge extraterrestrial sci-fi thing is flying over the Mediterranean. If you are at an altitude of 35,000 meters, you may see this extraterrestrial artifact, and its plane is a huge triangular lifting body with a 75-degree sweep angle. On the side is a large streamlined body shaped like an eagle's beak. The two combined-cycle engines extend backward along the length of the aircraft in the belly and are closely integrated with the delta wings, forming a large diagonal curve under the front of the fuselage.

This unique triangle itself is a lift surface, which is advantageous for subsonic, transonic and hypersonic flights. On the trailing edge of the triangle, there are two small full-motion twin vertical tails, which play the role of stabilizing and maneuvering the aircraft.

At this time, it was flying from a height of 35,000 meters, and the reconnaissance equipment had begun to work normally, scanning the ground below.

Suddenly, in its sight, a special flame appeared, and that flame only began to burn in the air.

Like other Soviet missiles, their favorite application is cold launch, which uses compressed air to eject the missile and then ignite, so that it can avoid the complicated design of exhaust channels, and the disadvantage is that if it is not ignited in the air, then the big guy will fall and explode again.

If it is a launch vehicle, then, for sure, it is ignited on the ground and then launched into the air.

This kind of guy who ignites in the air is definitely an out-and-out ballistic missile. Moreover, the reconnaissance plane not only filmed the scene of the missile launch, but also the large tractor on the position, all kinds of support equipment, and the rocket launch tower next to it.

After the ignition lifted off, according to the preset instructions, its first-stage solid engine ignited, pushing the missile to accelerate and get out of the dense atmosphere, and then, the second-stage engine ignited, and the entire missile continued to accelerate, when the second stage fell off and the third pole ignited again, it simultaneously carried out a steering action and began to continue flying towards the east.

The third pole solid thruster, crashed into eastern Iran.

When the tripolar relay is completed, the speed of the warhead has reached the speed of launching an artificial satellite, 7.9 kilometers per second.

There is no difference between artificial satellites and intercontinental missiles in the first half, only in the second half, one is to continue to fly around the earth and become an artificial satellite, and the other is to fall and re-enter the atmosphere.

At this time, the first part of this ballistic missile was carrying a small scientific research satellite independently developed by Iraq, which was only 700 kilograms, and the launch of this satellite into orbit indicated that Iraq finally had the ability to launch satellites.

However, the Americans will never think that Iraq launched an artificial satellite this time, and the Goddess of Dawn successfully completed the reconnaissance mission, but the result is that they absolutely do not want it, the director of the CIA is holding those photos, and his hands are even a little trembling, intercontinental missiles, how many technical difficulties need to be overcome! How did Iraq do it? He already had a premonition that the attitude of the United States was about to change. For the United States, when you don't have a certain weapon, it will slander you and exaggerate your threat, and when you have it, it will remain silent and never say how powerful your weapon is, of course, they know it very well in their hearts.

Iraq not only has ICBMs, it seems, it still uses the method of mobile road launches!

Just as William was on his way to the White House, in Tel Aviv, the Israeli top brass was also deliberating.

"We have now reached the most dangerous time, and now, the Arabs are heading in both directions, Galilee and Jerusalem, Jerusalem is an integral part of our Israel, our capital, and we must not make any more mistakes!" Defense Minister Moses said.

Rabin's expression was also very serious: "Yes, we must not retreat now, Iraq has been delaying the peace talks we have proposed, and the conditions they put forward are also things that we cannot agree to, which will give up what we have gained in previous wars." Although Rabin knew that if Israel wanted to finally take root in the land, it would not be possible to use force blindly. However, he wants peace talks, but they are definitely not the kind of peace talks they have now, and when Israel has firmly occupied a dominant position and the surrounding Arab countries will not pose any threat to Israel, they can also moderately return part of the land to the Palestinians, settle the dispute between the two sides, and make them accept the current outcome as a fait accompli.

In later generations, after the surrounding Arab countries were unable to raise their arms against Israel, Israel released its sincerity for peace and withdrew from part of the land, but in key positions, they still had to garrison troops.

And now, the surrounding Arab countries are eyeing up and signing such an alliance under the city, it is simply a shame for Israel, needless to say that Israel still has combat effectiveness, even if the Israeli army is disabled, they are not willing to agree to those conditions! Get out of Jerusalem, where is their holy city! If Rabin agreed, then he would have completely lost his place in the hearts of the military and the people.
