The first Maverick missile accurately hit the walking tank, but, unfortunately, the missile did not explode. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧

The unfortunate and fortunate tankman got off the tank with a lot of emotion, but then he found that his thoughts were wrong, and he had nothing to do.

Those tanks have been hit by this big guy one by one, but not everyone has such luck as him, with a sound of explosion, those tanks, all of them have been on fire.

The Maverick missiles carried by the two F20 squadrons all wiped out this tank company, except for the Maverick missile that did not explode, the rest hit the target with firing shots.

Those freshly washed clothes, those colorful underwear, all died in the fire.

This Iranian tank company, they didn't expect that they were just a reserve tank company, they had no combat effectiveness at all, and there were only two training shells in the tank, and in this way, they also attracted the attention of the Iraqi Air Force and hit them with missiles!

At the same time, Reyer's two Mirage 4000s also approached the two targets that the Iranian Air Force took off, which was a reserve F5 fighter plane arranged here by the former government, and they only carried two short-range Sidewinder missiles, and they resolutely took off, they wanted to defend their airspace!

Unfortunately, they had no room to fight back, they had just risen to an altitude of seven thousand meters and turned west, their radar had not yet been turned on, they had already been hit by flying missiles, and Reyer did not hesitate to use the method of double salvo to kill these two fighters who tried to challenge their authority. ≦≧

Moreover, according to the direction of their take-off provided by AWACS, there will be follow-up planes that will completely bomb this base into ruins. Although in fact, there are only fighters left in it that cannot take off.

On the same day, Iranian television and Iraqi television all broadcast the news, and at the request of the Tehran government, the Iraqi air force began to help the friendly Iranian people maintain stability and unity in the eastern region, and they attacked one of the terrorists' bases, blowing up dozens of terrorists' tanks, and then. As soon as the ≦≧ screen turned, there was a scene of F20 fighters using Maverick air-to-surface missiles, and the ground tanks were attacked, and then turned into a ball of fire.

The press personnel gave a detailed account of the Maverick air-to-surface missile used by Iraq's F20 fighters, which is a tactical air-to-surface missile imported from the United States and designed to strike tanks and other ground targets, which can easily destroy third-generation main battle tanks, and. With a dual-thrust single-stage solid rocket engine with a range of up to forty km, it is quite possible to launch outside the accompanying anti-aircraft fire of the enemy's armored forces.

In fact, the Maverick air-to-surface missile imported by Iraq has a maximum range of only 24 kilometers, and in order to be able to accurately hit the target, it is rarely launched from a distance of 15 kilometers, but. The Soviet Union did not know that during the Cold War, the weapons data of both sides were kept strictly secret.

It can be launched from 40 kilometers away, so that even the Sam-11 anti-aircraft missile that accompanies the Soviet armored forces will be threatened, and Qusay hopes that through this fanfare, the Soviet Union will know that Iraq is capable. ≦≧ prevent the entry of Soviet troops, and moreover, it will cost the Soviet ground forces a lot of casualties.

The Soviet Union had been closely monitoring the situation in eastern Iran, and now Iraq's actions over the no-fly zone were immediately detected by satellites in the sky. And, then, I received this news from Iraq and Iran.

When the Minister of Defense of the USSR Ustinov got his hands on this operation carried out by the Iraqis. just smiled coldly, no matter how strong the ant is, it is just an ant! Do they think that they have trained their army to be extremely strong in the war with Iran? Iran has long lost its source of weapons, and Iraq is constantly receiving arms sales from the West and its own side, and it is normal for Iran to be defeated, but their little air force is embarrassed to show it, what happened to their air-to-surface missiles? You know, if you want those planes to be able to fly over the heads of your tank troops, then they must first have air supremacy there, no-fly zone? It's just a ban on Iranian aircraft, can he block the fighters of the Soviet Air Force?

Since there is no strong air force in Central Asia, the Soviet Union only has second-line MiG-23 fighters here to seize air supremacy, and Ustinov urgently transferred two squadrons of MiG-29 fighters from Ukraine and two squadrons of MiG-25 fighters from the Far East, with the original MiG-23 squadrons, to break the no-fly zone in Iraq and seize air supremacy in northeastern Iran when necessary. ≦≧

At this time, the MiG-29 has been equipped with troops for nearly two years, and it is still only equipped with the troops most needed on the front line, and it is enough to use the MiG-23 to deal with the Iraqi Air Force, but Ustinov knows that the Iraqi Air Force is equipped with a Mirage 4000 aircraft, which is the latest heavy air superiority fighter developed by the French company Dassault, and its performance is even comparable to the F14 of the Iranian Air Force, so he mobilized the most advanced MiG-29 in the Soviet Union at this time to prepare for possible situations.

However, if this is the case, there will be a direct conflict with the Iraqi Air Force, and Ustinov is not afraid of war, but if it really starts, it will have to be approved by the General Secretary, and now, the General Secretary has been hospitalized, and Ustinov has been there twice, and he has not agreed with the General Secretary on this matter.

Ustinov couldn't help it, and he consulted with the head of the KGB, Viktor, Foreign Minister Gromyko, Chairman of the Council of Ministers Nikolai, Secretary of the Central Committee Gorbachev and others, whether it was necessary to teach the Iraqis a hard lesson and let them go astray. ≦≧

In other words, continue to carry out the original plan, inform the Tehran government that they will help control the security of eastern Iran, and then quickly launch an offensive to take eastern Iran, but now Tehran's attitude, I am afraid that it will not agree to this plan of the Soviet Union at all, as long as the Soviet Union sends troops, it will inevitably have a frontal battle with them.

The result of the meeting disappointed Ustinov very much, except for Viktor's proposition in favor of his actions, the other two people, did not express their opinions, but needed to wait for the personal decision of the general secretary, Gorbachev said it more cleverly, he cited some data, the current total income of the USSR, spending on national defense, consumption on the battlefield in Afghanistan, these data, so that Ustinov has no temper, what Gorbachev meant, the Soviet army wants to attack eastern Iran, the most important thing, It is to avoid the quagmire of a war like Afghanistan, otherwise, the USSR really cannot support two wars at the same time. Or, abandon the Afghan battlefield and go all out to take eastern Iran.

Hearing Gorbachev's words, Ustinov felt very panicked, the military is thinking about the future of the USSR, but this guy is always saying that the USSR has no money and can't fight? When the Germans were besieging Moscow, the citizens only had half a slice of bread a day, and did they not support the fighting at the front? There are like now, these guys without a vision!

It is even more impossible to abandon the battlefield in Afghanistan before the Iranian battlefield has even begun.

It is necessary to get the support of the general secretary! Ustinov decided that the next time he went to visit the General Secretary, he would definitely get a positive answer from him!

At the same time, Ustinov ordered two MiG-29 squadrons, which had already arrived in Turkmenistan, to cross the border to test the reaction of the Iraqi Air Force.

February 8, 1984.

In the sky of Central Asia, there was a rare sunny day, and the sky was cloudless.

In Turkmenistan's air base, a twin-engine and double-tail plane with wings and bodies is on the rudimentary runway of the front line, preparing for takeoff.

Under the wings, two medium-range air-to-air missiles and short-range air-to-air missiles were hung each, and at this time, the two rectangular air intakes in front of the belly have been closed, and the auxiliary air intakes at the top of the air intakes have all been opened, which is also a special means for this kind of front-line fighters to prevent inhaling debris on the rudimentary runway.

With flames erupting from the tail, the MiG-29 quickly rose from the runway and flew into the sky. On the huge vertical tail, the red star sparkles in the sun.

Today, they are on a special mission: to fly over the border between Iran and Turkmenistan, enter Iranian airspace, and test the response of the Iraqi Air Force.

Although they knew that the Iraqi Air Force had also transferred the AWACS aircraft that they regarded as treasures, the Soviet Air Force had a very low opinion of the performance of this kind of AWACS aircraft, which the British Air Force itself was not equipped with.

In particular, this kind of early warning aircraft did not adopt the common form of Soviet and American early warning aircraft, placing a disc-shaped radar antenna above the fuselage to achieve all-round detection, but arranged two large bags of the same radome in the nose and tail of the aircraft, which is just the airborne radar of a fighter with increased power, with a detection range of 200 kilometers at most.

What's more, they will lower their altitude, enter Iranian airspace from the Hindu Kush and enter the interior of the no-fly zone declared by Tehran to test the reaction of the Iraqi Air Force.

They feel that this time it will be very smooth, because, the tall mountains, will drown their signals in the echo of the radar, Iraqi fighters, Iraqi early warning aircraft, simply cannot effectively detect them, they are very experienced, because, their Soviet Union's most powerful MiG-29 fighter, the Soviet Union's latest N019 pulse Doppler radar, can not effectively detect low-flying aircraft in this complex terrain.
