Turkmenistan was the main focus of the Central Asian Military District of the Soviet Union, and now, due to the needs of the war in Afghanistan, Turkmenistan has become an important logistics center for the Soviet army, and almost all of the armed helicopters and Su-25 attack planes operating in Afghanistan take off from the air bases of Turkmenistan.

Now, in the south of Turkmenistan and in the west of Afghanistan, two mechanized divisions of the USSR are making final preparations.

The mechanized divisions stationed in Afghanistan have been fighting in Afghanistan for several years and have rich combat experience, while the armored divisions in Turkmenistan have been newly transferred from Kazakhstan, and although they have not yet been fought, their sense of war is already very high, because they have been taught that now that Iran is divided, as the great Soviets, they have an obligation to help Iran maintain stability in their region, especially to help them maintain security in the eastern region, and moreover, their upper echelons, A request has already been received from the Iranian side.

The hearts of the Soviet fighters were filled with great ideals, and they were going to help Iran!

However, at the top, this is not the case. ≦≧

Because, as soon as the Soviet army was assembled, and the huge logistical materials needed for the attack of the mechanized troops were being transported in a steady stream, they received a news that made them very dissatisfied.

The current government of Iran wants to draw a no-fly zone in the eastern part of Iran!

This no-fly zone, mainly in Khorasan province, was almost exactly on the route of their intended attack. The Iranian government issued a sternly worded statement that the remnants of the military power of the old government in this region seriously hampered the process of Iranian reunification, especially that there is an Iranian air force in Khorasan province, hoping that they can change their ways and obey the leadership of the new government, otherwise, the Iranian government has the ability to strike at them!

This statement, on the face of it. It seems that it has nothing to do with the Soviet Union at all, and it is just a struggle of the Tehran government to encircle and suppress the country, but judging from the geographical choice they have chosen, it is almost aimed at the Soviet Union.

The government of Tehran is still so faceless?

You know, if the Soviet army goes south, it is indispensable. ≦≧ need protection from the air. When the armored forces are advancing, there need to have fighters in the air to take air supremacy for them in advance, now. The no-fly zone mentioned by the Tehran government prohibits all aircraft from flying, including civil aviation in Khorasan. It's all closed, if the Soviet Air Force enters Iranian airspace, will it encounter Iraqi fighters? Will the other side strictly enforce the rules of the no-fly zone and shoot down any aircraft that flies in the sky?

Could it be that the Soviet Air Force, going to engage in an air battle with the Iraqi Air Force? The Soviet Air Force was definitely not afraid, but, politically, they would have been isolated in this way.

You know, when we were deliberating. At the "request" of the Tehran government, their troops helped the Iranian government to maintain law and order in the eastern region, and they intended to start crossing the border while informing the Tehran government and then exerting pressure. Caught them off guard, the Tehran government had already occupied these areas before it could react, and after the facts were formed, bargaining slowly and methodically. Diplomatic mutual bargaining, when the time comes, there will be no withdrawal of troops.

Who knows. ≦≧ Tehran government seems to know about this, and it actually wants to block the airspace there in advance!

All this annoyed Defense Minister Ustinov, who urged the logistics to be transported in place as soon as possible so that the offensive could begin at any time.

However, he did not expect that on such a major event related to the development of the USSR in the next few decades, the logistics department would actually be dragging its feet! The reason given is still very ridiculous, they have no money, and some of the urgently needed materials are still being struggling to raise.

A huge Soviet Union, a powerful army, the logistics department actually said that there was no money, which made the Minister of Defense very angry, this is dragging its feet! We must not allow such a thing to develop!

It's just that the current general secretary of the country, Comrade Andropov, has already begun to be hospitalized, and it is already a little difficult for him to coordinate with the general secretary. And those guys down there, always spreading their hands to him with a sad face, have they done their best?

The ongoing war in Afghanistan has already involved the main energy of the Soviet Union, the treasury of the USSR has long been empty, Comrade Andropov has been carrying out reforms, and reforms also require investment, and the USSR has begun to borrow money from Western Europe. ≦≧

In Iraq, after the Northern Military District received the notification, the main two squadrons of Mirage 4000 fighters, two squadrons of Mirage F1 and early warning aircraft of the Hunter have been transferred to Tehran Air Base and have begun the task of implementing the no-fly zone in eastern Iran.

"Report to Sky Eye, the Falcon Squadron has flown over Semnan." The squadron of F-20 fighters, with four Maverick air-to-surface missiles under their wings, was flying towards the Iranian armored company, this time, they were acting for the Soviets.

The early warning aircraft that took off from Tehran Air Base, under the protection of two Mirage 4000s, are also flying to the east, because Khorasan is too far east, and the early warning distance of the early warning aircraft cannot reach so far, so it is necessary to continue to the east and cruise over the Kavir salt desert to be able to fully cover the eastern part of Khorasan

The Kavir Salt Desert is a saline desert in the northern part of the Iranian plateau, with a width of more than 450 kilometers from east to west. The terrain is lower than the surrounding area, and the surface layer is mixed with clay or silt, and there are many salt crusts distributed. ≦≧ there are many "saudi" (i.e., swamp depressions) between the salt crusts, which are difficult for people and animals to pass.

So, flying over this salt desert, even though it is not the occupied territory of Iraq below, and there is no need to worry that the Iranians, who have not yet submitted to the regime in Tehran, will place Hawk anti-aircraft missiles here, they will not be able to get in even if they want to.

At the same time, the other two Mirage 4000s are cruising over Khorasan, carrying Super Matra air-to-air missiles and Magic short-range air-to-air missiles, ready to strike at flying objects that do not obey the no-fly zone proposed by the Tehran government.

"Keep flying, the surrounding airspace is normal." said the crew of the AWACS.

Suddenly, two bright spots appeared on the radar screen of the AWACS aircraft, which were two planes that had just taken off from Mashhad.

"Sky Falcon, direction 3-3-1, distance three hundred, two Iranian planes." The crew of the AWACS aircraft informed Reyere, who was on cruise.

"Falcon received." Reyer, with his wingman, turned to the northeast, where there were still Iranian planes! Since the Iranians dare to take off, then kill them!

At the same time, two squadrons of F-20s, having flown near the target, was an armored company in Kashmar.

Although Iran purchased a large number of weapons from the West during the Pahlavi dynasty, in the three-year Iran-Iraq war, Iran has consumed its elite armored forces on the western defense line, and this armored company only has old M48 tanks.

Now, this tank force is lazily basking in the sun, they are the second-line troops, as the easternmost part of Iran far from the western front, they have no sense of defense, although the Tehran government has said that it will draw a no-fly zone over their heads, which has nothing to do with their ground forces, unless the Iraqis are dizzy and do another airborne landing on their heads.

The barrels of several tanks towered over the freshly washed clothes of Iranian armored soldiers, and a few of their underpants were hung on radio antennas, fluttering in the wind like their battle flags.

A tanker, driving a tank, drove towards the barracks, behind the tank, pulled a car that could not be started because of a breakdown, on top of the car, pulling their provisions, due to the fall of the old Iranian government, they suddenly raised children from their mothers, into completely motherless children, this time the supplies were still sent from Yazd.

The tankmen were lazily driving the tanks, thinking about whether there would be fresh beef for this supply, and they really wanted to bring a few cattle from nearby villages to slaughter and eat, but they never dared to do it.

The tankman glanced around, and suddenly, his eyes were fixed on something in the sky, what was that flying fire?

He lacks sufficient awareness, if it is a front-line unit, he already knows at this moment that it is a missile that flies to hit them, and what he has to do is either increase the horsepower and start the tank to soar, or immediately jump off the tank, the farther the better.

He just stared at the thing, which was flying so fast that after a few seconds, he felt a blazing flame coming, and then, a large thing, had slammed into the top of the tank's turret.

The huge impact made the tanker feel that his internal organs were about to be shattered, he realized in his heart, I was afraid that something big was wrong this time, he tried his best to keep himself awake, his eyes opened, and he saw the top of the turret, at this time there was already a big guy, much thicker than his own tank barrel, much thicker than the infrared headlights, below were four triangular wings, and there were four small rectangular wings at the tail.

At this time, the tanker knew that his tank was hit by this big guy, that is, the legendary missile, and the entire turret was penetrated, but, this big guy didn't know what the reason was, there was no explosion, he felt both lucky and unlucky, lucky because this thing did not explode, otherwise he would have flown into the sky, look at this head, I'm afraid the whole tank will burn to ashes, depressed, the car dragged behind, has to change a tank, but, his tank, It is already the best tank in the entire armored company, and other tanks, I don't know if they can start immediately, maybe they have to be roasted under the engine for half a day.
