Chapter 442: Airborne Division

In the night sky, the roar was so surging. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

This is a large aircraft group, just more than a hundred Il-76s in the center of the aircraft group, which is already quite a large aircraft group, even in the last Western 79 military exercise, did not dispatch so many transport aircraft at one time!

Moreover, around the transport plane, there is also a flight regiment of MiG-23 fighters escorting, these fighters, all of which are the latest modifications, after the addition of auxiliary fuel tanks, has increased the range, which can meet the needs of this flight.

Moreover, for the Soviets, the Iranian sky is almost undefended, and the key thing that needs to be taken care of is the Iranian ground air defense missiles, so more than half of the escort fighters in this flight regiment are equipped with air-to-ground anti-radiation missiles, and as long as the anti-radiation source on the ground is found, it will be necessary to carry out a ruthless ground strike!

At the same time, in order to ensure the smooth progress of this flight, in the rear of the fleet, there are electronic warfare aircraft, two large Il-76 are the main force, one of which is the Il-76, with a huge mushroom plate on its back, which is the An-50 early warning aircraft developed on the basis of the Il-76!

The Il-76 is a transport aircraft similar to the American C-141 heavy transport aircraft developed by the Soviet Ilyushin Design Bureau in the seventies. The aircraft was designed to replace the aging An-12 transport aircraft and could carry more than 40 tons of cargo and fly more than 5,000 kilometers in six hours. It is also possible to take off from most airports in the USSR that are not fully equipped or have simple facilities, and at the same time have to adapt to the different climates of the USSR, mainly to overcome the severe cold climate in the near-polar region and the changing temperature in the Caucasus.

The Soviet aviation technology developed very rapidly, and this four-engine transport aircraft, which was developed in full accordance with the requirements of military transport aircraft, was quickly completed, and made its first test flight at Moscow Central Airport on March 25, 71, and was publicly displayed at the 29th Paris International Aviation Exposition on May 27 of the same year. The test flights continued until the end of 75 years, after which they were put into mass production and delivered to the army and civil aviation.

Although from Andrei's point of view, this kind of transport aircraft has many problems, such as the inability to completely airlift the main battle tank, that is, the carrying capacity and cargo box size are ten percent larger, it is quite good, but this transport aircraft that can take off and land at front-line field airfields, after its birth, quickly became the main transport aircraft of the Soviets, and by now, the entire Soviet Union has been equipped with more than 400 such transport aircraft!

At the same time, based on the fuselage of such a transport aircraft, other special aircraft that have been improved have also begun to develop in full swing, among which the most important is the AWACS aircraft!

The old moss only solves the problem of whether it has or not, and it simply cannot meet the needs of the future, and the new AWACS aircraft based on the Il-76 airframe began to be developed in 75 years.

Historically, this AWACS aircraft was only developed in 84 years and has combat capabilities, which are used to command MiG-29 and Su-27 aircraft groups. And now, with the electronic technology of the island country being received by the Soviets, the development of the AWACS aircraft is quite smooth, and this first An-50 AWACS aircraft can already enter the actual combat deployment!

The use of the latest flat slit radar antenna, installed in the top of the radome, coupled with advanced digital processing technology, so that this AWACS aircraft can effectively filter out the target that needs to be found from the clutter on the ground, even the convoy on the ground, can be clearly observed!

So, with the help of this AWACS aircraft, the entire formation can fly more smoothly in the Iranian sky, and here it is as clean as the Soviet airspace!

At the same time, the one in the back is also an electronic jammer built with the Il-76 body.

The development of this kind of aircraft, in fact, was much earlier, just after Andrei forced the American EP-3 electronic warfare plane to land, this kind of aircraft was dismantled by Soviet technicians and carried out various researches, that is, from this aircraft, they got the conclusion that the United States' electronic technology was at least ten years ahead of their own, and began to gradually abandon the idea of electron tubes and move to integrated circuits that are more suitable for the future.

It's just that the technology at that time was still limited, so it was very difficult to imitate all kinds of imitations, until now, with the inheritance of the island's electronic technology, they can finally successfully develop this latest electronic warfare aircraft!

High-power electromagnetic interference, flooding the entire airspace, the radar frequency of **** anti-aircraft missiles and other weapons specially equipped for the Iranians has been optimized, which can interfere with the ground forces of the Iranians to the maximum!

In the sky, a large group of more than 130 planes flew in the airspace of the Iranians in this way, and there was no other way, because they had to cross the entire north and south of Iran and land in the southeastern corner of Iran in Sistan Province!

The ground forces, it will take at least two days of drag racing to be able to get here, and for this major military operation of the USSR, the point is not the resistance of the Iranians, but the counterattack of the Americans!

At the beginning, the United States invaded Iran from the southeast corner of Iran, using Pakistan as a springboard, and later the United States had to admit its defeat and withdraw its troops from Iranian land, and part of the troops returned to their original stations, but nearly half of the troops remained in Pakistan!

The plans of the Americans, of course, the USSR were clear, they were not willing to be defeated, they wanted to make a comeback!

And now, this is a very good opportunity, when the Soviet Union starts attacking from the north, the Americans will definitely be ready to attack from the south again!

Of course, the Americans cannot be given a chance, and the best choice for their side is to control the southeastern province of Sistan first!

Therefore, in order to achieve its own strategic goals, the Turkestan Military District transferred its two airborne divisions, the 103rd Guards Airborne Division and the 105th Guards Airborne Division, and two integrated airborne divisions here!

Even with the huge air power of the Soviets, it is already the limit to airdrop the entire full airborne division at one time, so the 105th Division was the first to be transported, and after the group returned, the waiting 103rd Division could be airlifted again!

The Airborne Forces are the most dangerous type of troops, and at the same time, it is also extremely dangerous to parachute at night! But for the sake of the Soviets, the dreadnought Soviet Airborne Forces, will never be afraid!

The noise in the cabin was very loud, and like the rest of the soldiers, the soldiers of the heavily armed airborne division were ready to fight, and they had been fighting almost all the time in the past few years, for example, when they landed in Hokkaido, they were one of the first troops to raid in!
