Chapter 1121: A Long Drive

It's a pity that with this trick, it is impossible to deceive the radar of the MiG-25, although the two points of light almost coincide, they still sent the correct command to the missile. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was not until they were within 40 kilometers of the guide, facing that the Israeli escort fighters were about to enter the launch position, that they chose to leave immediately.
Even the latest improved Sparrow missiles have a maximum speed of Mach 4, and the speed will gradually decrease during the flight, so it is almost impossible for them to catch up with two MiG-25 fighters flying north at three times the speed of sound dozens of kilometers away.
The MiG-25 tail engines are working vigorously and return to Syrian airspace, and here, four missiles, have completed their mission.
Two of them, after leading the way, were confused by the opposing escort fighters and attacked the escort fighters, resulting in one being shot down, while the other two, accurately hitting the AWACS aircraft.
The E-3 AWACS aircraft, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars, along with the air crew inside, was all shot down.
At this time, the salute in the sky was already sounding, and the first batch of ballistic missiles attacked by Iraq arrived at important Israeli military targets, not only air bases, but also radar stations and key military departments, that is, Tel Aviv's Ministry of National Defense, all within the attack range of Iraq's cruise missiles.
Since Israel wants to expand the scale of the war, then Qusay will definitely not be stingy with his own force!
The Patriot missile system, which the United States has placed high hopes on, achieved complete success when intercepting at the range, with a hit rate of almost 100 percent. However, when firing targets with live ammunition, the mere problem of a dummy warhead has already made their interception a complete failure.
In this spear-and-shield confrontation, the shield is a complete loser, and there are many insurmountable technical problems in order to intercept ballistic missiles. The idea that the United States wants to seek absolute security and can be protected from the blows of the other side while wantonly attacking others is not so easy to realize.
From the evening of 5 July to the early morning of 6 July, almost overnight, the situation in the Middle East changed greatly, and Israel, unwilling to accept defeat, used almost all of its air power in a vain attempt to repeat the classic battle in history and use a beautiful air raid to kill the air power of the Arabs.
It's a pity that it's no longer what it used to be, and the air force of the Arabs is no weaker than Israel, both quantitatively and qualitatively.
Israel's AWACS aircraft were shot down, almost all of Israel's air bases have been destroyed, more than a hundred Israeli fighters attacked, only more than thirty returned, and they only killed a dozen Arab planes, this ratio, no matter how you look at it, Israel is a complete loser.
At the same time as the victory in the air, the Iraqi ground forces also attacked again. Iraq's powerful 1st Armored Division, after resting, quickly maneuvered south, and almost overnight, routed the two armored brigades attacked by Israel, came to the outside of Jerusalem, followed by the Saudi 2nd Armored Division, completely surrounded Jerusalem, and in the early morning, the Iraqi army had launched a siege campaign.
The Iraqi 35th Panzer Division in the Gaza Strip made a rapid move north and occupied Ashkelon, which was empty. If they had to go any further east, they would be able to join Jerusalem and divide Israel in two.
On the northern front, the 10th Panzer Division is also moving rapidly, and they are heading directly at the Gagari area, although Israel still has a strong armored force in that area, but because the armored troops in the Golan Heights have been eyeing each other, they are unable to distinguish troops at the most dangerous time in Israel.
In fact, the most important issue is still the air force, Israel's military has been able to play an outstanding role in previous wars, and the air force has played the greatest role, especially in modern high-tech warfare, if there is no air supremacy, then there is almost no certainty of victory.
The current situation is very unfavorable for Israel, it seems that the whole of Israel is already in danger, and now, relying only on Israel's own military strength, I am afraid that it is already in danger of losing the country.
Now if there are no peace talks, and if they can't wait for the arrival of the US aircraft carrier group, Israel will be finished, and it seems that the road ahead of them is only peace talks.

"The armed forces of the United States are aimed at protecting the safety of our people's lives and property and protecting the national interests of the United States as a whole, but it is not a tool of hegemonism, and we can see that the wrong acts made by our current government are not the ultimate way to solve problems, and our Middle East policy is absolutely not to go against all oil-producing countries." Clinton seized this opportunity and violently attacked Bush's current Middle East policy.
The American people absolutely must not be fooled, and at present, when the US economy is in a bad mess, the Bush administration has been vainly trying to use force to solve the problem, and this has made the situation in the Middle East out of control.
The relations between the United States and the oil-producing countries in the Middle East were stiffened during Bush's tenure, and this was the most stupid thing Bush has ever done.
Now, the countries of the Middle East have finally launched the most important blow to the behavior of the United States, and the Arab countries have announced that, in view of the current attitude of the United States, they have been sparing no effort to support Israel, a terrorist state, and the Arab countries plan to gradually use the dollar as the currency of oil settlements.
As soon as the news came out, the world was in an uproar, and the reason why the dollar is so strong now is because if countries want to buy oil, they must have dollars, and if they want to have dollars, they have to exchange their own things with the Americans in exchange for the money printed by the Americans. If the dollar is not used to settle oil, the dollar system will collapse completely.
If only one oil-producing country had said this, the United States would have not hesitated to press the border, kick open their doors, and beat their leaders in the ass. However, when the oil-producing countries in all regions of the Middle East say this, it is not so easy for the United States to want to do it.
"We will not tolerate the actions of the Arab countries, who have now occupied almost all the land lost in 67 years, and who are besieging Jerusalem." Cheney said.
Bush frowned, he knew that Israel is now facing the biggest crisis, at such a time, what kind of support should the United States give to Israel?
"So far, our military base in Israel has been normal, and it has not been attacked by the Iraqis, and the series of military actions of the Arabs have actually been relatively restrained, and I think their purpose is to help Palestine establish a state." "Iraq has been avoiding an expansion of the war," Secretary James said. ”
"So, should we get both Iraq and Israel to shake hands and restore peace?" Cheney said: "Then our troops in Israel, our interests in the Middle East, all have to be ceded to Iraq?" We need to act resolutely to help Israel regain its strategic victory, and at a critical moment, we can even use nuclear weapons! ”
Cheney was furious when he heard James' statement, and James said this as if he was helping the enemy.
"The fact that we have observed is that Iraq already has strategic missiles, and the satellite that was launched yesterday was not a carrier rocket at all, but a ballistic missile, and it uses mobile cold launch technology, although we have no evidence, but this kind of weapon in Iraq should have a lot to do with the Soviet Union, and there are many Soviet technicians in Iraq, and now, the Soviet Union is almost finished, and Iraq has poached a large number of talents, and there must be rocket experts in it." CIA Director William said: "And we are not sure that those poor and crazy Soviets will not sell nuclear warheads to Iraq secretly, even the top brass of the KGB are now busy smuggling Soviet weapons out to make money." Even without nuclear warheads, Iraq's domestic pesticide factories could produce chemical weapons at any time. ”
Although William's words were not loud, the meaning of his words was enough to shock everyone, and they knew that William's meaning was that if the United States really used nuclear weapons against Iraq, then they would have to bear the retaliatory counterattack launched by Iraq at any time.
The character of Qusay is familiar to them, and revenge is absolutely necessary, and the counterattack is even more fierce.
"If we use conventional force to help Israel solve the problems at hand, how many troops do we need to use? If we urgently transfer troops, including the Turkish garrison, are we confident that we will win? Bush asked.
General Powell shook his head and said: "Your Excellency, the more important question now is not how determined and combat effectiveness our military is, but that we now have no reason to send any more troops, because, under Clinton's demagogy, our budget for increasing military spending has been vetoed." Our fiscal deficit this year is too large, and our military spending has greatly exceeded our budget. In the second half of this year, our military will have to save money. ”
This is the most frustrating time for the military, they actually have no money!
Because of the claims of the Arabs, the dollar's status in the international community has declined, which has further led to the decline of the US economy, and if Bush is relatively strong at this time, then it is not impossible to move Congress to stimulate the US economy by waging war.
But now, it's the most critical time for the general election! As far as Bush is concerned, nothing is more frustrating than that although he is a Republican, the Democrats have a majority in Congress. Although the Jewish power is strong in the United States, it is clear that Americans are much more concerned about their next month's salary at this critical time than about the war half a world away.
