Chapter 626: Plan: Saturation Attack
readx;
The situation in the Middle East is getting more and more intense, and in this turmoil, the two superpowers have shown their fangs, and the Soviet Black Sea Fleet, after entering the Mediterranean, immediately announced that the eastern part of Crete, for their exercise area, they will be here, conducting missile test launches, and there will also be naval aviation, using Tu-22M bombers, starting from their bases in the Black Sea, long-distance raids, and practicing an attack on the sea. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info≦≧
The movement of the Soviet Union this time was very large, the Black Sea Fleet in the west, and the Arab countries in the east, were preparing to hold military exercises, and the smell of gunpowder was already very strong.
In this case, the US Sixth Fleet, the USS Coral Sea, has entered the Strait of Gibraltar and is hurrying in, and the USS America is also coming from farther away.
The Coral Sea aircraft carrier is a US CV-43 "Midway" class aircraft carrier, with a full load displacement of more than 60,000 tons and can carry dozens of carrier-based aircraft.
Israel has also mobilized for war, Israel is not afraid of war, since the founding of the country, they have experienced battles, each time, they are fighting stronger and stronger, the meaning of this time is even more important, because this time it is for their national defense! Israel has said no in the face of international verification, and at the same time, Israel must be brave enough to say no to any threat in the Middle East!
The Israeli Ministry of Defense made a statement that Israel did not conduct a nuclear test, which is the conclusion of the investigation by American experts that Israel will not yield to any outside forces. ≦≧ Israel is confident that it will protect its country. Win any war, no matter who the enemy is!
Israel, which has always been tough, has strengthened its defense in this situation, and at the same time, warplanes have frequently taken to the skies to protect their airspace.
Both the countries of the Middle East and the Soviet Union wanted to strike at Israel's Dimona base. Well, surely from the air, the Israeli Air Force is the most powerful of all the armed forces, and they are confident. [If you are looking for novel material, go to me to read] to defend your territory!
Israel's early warning aircraft also began to take off frequently, monitoring everything around them.
At the same time, Israel's intelligence agency, the Mossad, also began to plan intensively, knowing that the crisis facing Israel this time was caused by the technician named Vanunu, such a traitor to Israel. ≦≧ should be brought back to Israel for trial!
Liverpool, United Kingdom.
Vanunu looked at the blue sea to the west, breathing in the humid North Atlantic air blown by the fresh sea breeze, and his mood gradually calmed down.
Mr. Vanunu was so pleased with the situation that he had to change his residence every few days to avoid the pervasive Mossad detection, but each time, Iraqi intelligence agents made his new address perfect for him, as on this occasion. It is a villa by the sea.
Moreover, there is always Jenna who comes to visit from time to time, and Vanunu is full of confidence in life.
"Jenna," said Vanunu, looking at the Lebanese beauty who had walked to the window, "how is the situation outside now?" ”
Vanunu did not forget. ≦≧ himself is very much against Israel's possession of nuclear weapons, and Israel has opened Pandora's box. He had to stop it from happening! So, he exposed Israel's nuclear program, those pictures, and revealed Israel's secrets to the world.
However, the Israeli government has not shown the slightest hint of repentance and has forcefully covered up its nuclear program, even though the whole world knows that Israel is lying, Israel is still declaring that it has not carried out a nuclear program. Vanunu had broken away from Judaism, and even in his heart, he was no longer Israeli.
"Israel has been refusing to accept UN inspections, and at present, the protests in the Arab world are very strong, and Arab countries have held a military exercise to show their dissatisfaction. The Soviet Navy also entered the Mediterranean. Jenna said.
"Why didn't the Arab countries launch an attack and knock out Israel's Dimona nuclear base? Like Israel bombing Iraq's nuclear reactors? Vanunu said.
Hearing Vanunu say this, Jenna said: "Now, Israel is still claiming that it does not have nuclear weapons, and even if the Arab countries want to attack, there is still no sufficient reason. ≦≧”
"Aren't those pictures enough?" Vanunu said.
"Israel says that those photos are fake, and if one person comes forward and points out Israel's nuclear base, then, with physical evidence and human witnesses, even if Israel wants to deny it, I am afraid it will not be able to resist it." Jenna said. Witnesses? "I am ready to stand up and testify against Israel's nuclear program if needed," Vanunu said. ”
Vanunu said very sincerely, because he was indeed looking forward to the immediate termination of Israel's nuclear program and the restoration of calm in the Middle East, no matter what method was used, and even in his heart, thinking that Israel should not establish a state at all, there is no such country as Israel at all, Israel was snatched from the Palestinians by force, remembering that the last time Israel's ** will not hesitate to call the truncheon on the Arabs, Vanunu feels very unfair.
"If you can step up, that's great." Jenna said: "I want to have a television interview with you, and we will make a video of the situation in which I interview you, and record everything you know about Israel's nuclear program, and if possible, we will have another press conference, so that Israel will have no more excuses." ≦≧”
"Okay, I'm always willing." Vanunu said, "I listen to you in everything. ”
Jenna felt a little guilty in her heart, it seemed a little unkind that she deceived an honest person like this, but this was the most powerful public opinion offensive against Israel, and she had to do it, because she had to prepare a fairly good reason for the attack on Iraq!
Zubayer, Iraq.
Qusay is inspecting the missile base, where Iraq's latest Red Bird III missile is in full swing.
In this attack, the main use of Red Bird III missiles was used, and, what Qusay meant, was to have enough missiles for a saturation attack!
The advantage of cruise missiles lies in their concealment, flying close to the ground, and achieving the suddenness of the attack according to the ups and downs of the mountains.
Although Israel is equipped with early warning aircraft, the distance at which such early warning aircraft can detect cruise missiles will not exceed 150 kilometers, and in the last 82 years of fighting, Israel lost one early warning aircraft, and now, their E-2 early warning aircraft, with only three, are simply not enough to maintain a continuous 24-hour uninterrupted cruise.
Although Israel attaches importance to the active offensive of the air force, however, Israel's air defense force still exists, especially in the current situation, Israel will definitely deploy the main force of their air defense, the Hawk air defense missile, near Dimona, in order to achieve absolute success, then, it is necessary to launch a cruise missile saturation attack on Israel!
"Saturation attack" is a tactic formulated by Marshal Gorshkov, commander-in-chief of the Soviet Navy, when studying the use of anti-ship missiles to strike at the US Navy's aircraft carrier battle group; compared with the United States' preference for using aircraft carriers, the Soviet Union pursued missile attacks even moreover; moreover, it used surface ships, submarines, and combat planes to carry anti-ship missiles, adopted the method of penetrating defense with large density and continuous attacks, and at the same time, in a short period of time, launched missiles from different directions in the air, on the surface, and under the water at different levels to the same target that exceeded its ability to resist strikes. The anti-missile counter-attack capability of the enemy's aircraft carrier formation's maritime air defense system will be saturated in an unmanageable state in a short period of time, so as to achieve the goal of increasing the probability of anti-ship missile penetration and destroying targets.
The ultimate of these is the SS-N-19 "Granite" supersonic anti-ship missile developed by the Soviet Union when attacking American aircraft carriers, which is a missile developed in the seventies and put into service in the early eighties.
Its typical combat mode is to launch several missiles at intervals, one pilot missile flies in a high orbit to better capture the target, and the rest of the missiles follow in a low orbit covertly. If the lead projectile is destroyed, the follower bullet immediately follows up as a guide projectile until the attack is complete. Although there was no formal engagement between the two sides until the collapse of the Soviet Union, this type of attack, even with the Aegis system, may not be able to cope with it.
(It's a pity that after China introduced the Varyag, the granite silos above it were dismantled and replaced with hangars, of course, it may be because missiles cannot be obtained, or it may be because China's operational thinking is close to the American side, but no one can deny the great power of this missile.) )
Kusai needs a saturation attack, but to what extent he can be saturated depends on the inventory of Redbird III missiles, for Kusai, he will never be stingy with inventory, this time, all RedBird III missiles will be launched!
Since this missile has just been successfully developed, the production capacity is not very large, and the output of only more than 20 missiles per month is only enough, and so far, they have just gathered enough 80 missiles, and if it is a few days late, a few more will be produced again.
This time, Iraq cannot choose to launch an airplane, because all the carrier aircraft have to be freed up, and in addition to conducting exercises, it is to protect Iraq's airspace and be ready to intercept a possible Israeli counterattack at any time. So, this time all land launches were used.
The launch equipment is a launch vehicle newly developed by Iraq based on the chassis of a Mercedes-Benz 8*8 off-road heavy truck
