It is very difficult to intercept ballistic missiles, and in the eighties, the American Patriot missile once conducted an interception test in Pakistan and accurately hit the target.

However, at that time, it was just a carefully planned performance, and the ballistic missile launched, with all kinds of data completely known, was just a planned collision.

But now, the Iraqis will not inform the United States of their launch data, and five whistling Scud missiles took off from the desert area of southern Iraq and flew to Saudi Arabia!

The Patriot missile positions at the Dhahran base were already under high tension at this time, and according to the data sent back from China, the Patriot air defense missile units were working intensively.

The AN/MPQ-53 phased array radar is at full power, scanning the airspace in the direction of Iraq, and whether it can be successfully intercepted depends first on whether the phased array radar can find the target.

Finally, under the unblinking gaze of the radar operator, an echo finally appeared on the screen, and there were three missiles, all sent here!

Three! What to do?

"Automatic way, ready to intercept." said the commander of the missile forces.

All operators are concentrated in the Engagement Control Station, which is the operational central nervous system of the Patriot fire unit, which provides command, control and communications, as well as fire control. Thanks to the advanced electronic technology of the United States, the human-computer interaction method is adopted here, which can be assisted by computer-assisted target identification and prioritization, and the entire operation can also be controlled by the engagement control station and computer completely autonomously.

At this point, manual operation. It is not necessarily possible to achieve high accuracy, and it is the best choice to leave it to the weapon to control itself.

The computer system began to work rapidly. In addition to the data intercepted by the phased array radar, there is also the data transmitted by the satellite, and after relevant comparisons and accurate calculations between them, the optimal launch time has also arrived.

Outside, on the quadruple missile launch vehicle, there was a roar. The Patriot missile broke through the packaging of the missile box in front, and in the blazing flames, the missile scrambled into the air.

One piece. Another one, intercepting three ballistic missiles at the same time, and two Patriot missiles intercepting one Scud, so a total of six missiles were launched.

Interception puts a tremendous strain on computer systems. The computer is constantly solving.

"Target One is missing." That's when it happened. The operator suddenly reported.

Three missiles are aimed at the same time, the phased array radar splits out three beams to monitor the three missiles, the computer system is fully loaded, and a target is still lost!

This is not the time to complain, there are still two targets that must be destroyed!

At this time, the Patriot missile has already entered the command guidance stage in the middle section, and the phased array radar continues to track the 'Patriot' missile in flight. And according to the actual flight situation, timely instructions are issued to correct the flight trajectory.

It's all there. It's all measured in seconds. Soon, it entered the final stage, and whether it could be beaten down or not, it would be a matter of watching for a few seconds! As a semi-active radar seeker missile, the Patriot missile is activated at this time with the seeker, and through the irradiation of the irradiation radar at the lower end of the phased array radar, the Patriot missile begins to enter the process of autonomous flight.

Get closer, as long as you get closer enough to get the proximity fuse into play, the warhead of the Patriot missile can shoot down the Scud!

Looking at the highlights on the radar screen, everyone held their breath.

Damn it! Looking at the two points of light, they both flew over, but they did not get close to the distance of 20 meters, and everyone gasped.

Neither missile intercepted!

There is only one last target left, and you must intercept it!

Finally, the fifth Patriot missile accurately captured the target, and at a distance of eighteen meters, the radio proximity fuse detonated the fragmentation killing warhead, countless fragments, flew towards the warhead of the opposite Scud missile, and in high-speed flight, even a small embroidery needle would bring a huge killing effect!

"Boom!" This missile exploded in a volley, and the Scud was intercepted!

"It worked!" The commander of the missile battalion stood up happily and was almost about to jump.

In actual combat, our own Patriot missiles intercepted the Scud!

However, the opponent shot three, and only one was intercepted!

The other two missiles, still flying rapidly, are launching Patriot missiles again to intercept, and it is too late.

"It is expected to land in the desert five kilometers away." Looking at the final data given by the computer system, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, five kilometers! This Iraqi Scud missile, the accuracy is not a little bit worse!

Successfully intercept the Scud missile! Iraq fired three missiles at the base in Dhahran and all missed! Iraq fired two Scud missiles at Riyadh, which were shot down by Pakistani anti-aircraft missile forces deployed in Riyadh!

Norman Schwarzkopf, who got the news, was overjoyed that Pakistan's missile forces were able to shoot down the Scuds! This has nothing to do with the United States, which wants to trumpeting its own Patriot missiles!

So, on the same day, the world's prime-time television broadcast this picture, on the Patriot missile position, in a cloud of white smoke, the missile flew up, accurately hitting the Scud missile fired by Iraq!

"Today, Iraq launched ten Scud missiles at Saudi Arabia, and our Patriot missiles intercepted nine of them without causing any casualties. Iraq thinks that the Scud missile is their killer weapon, but in fact, in our case, the Scud is just a throwing gun without a spear tip! ”

The US press spokesman triumphantly declared.

"Smack." Mhammad turned off the TV, and the expression on his face was intriguing.

"The Americans' Patriot missiles, with an interception rate of less than 30 percent, fired two salvos, intercepted three targets with six missiles, and finally intercepted only one." Next to Mhammad, Musha'f said.

"What about our missiles?" Mhammad asked.

"Of the two targets fired by Iraq at Riyadh, one was intercepted by us, and the other fell on the outskirts of Riyadh without causing casualties." Musha'af said.

Pakistan's air defense system was simplified from the ship-based Shield of Friendship system, and the biggest improvement was that the terminal section was active radar guidance, and even then, the interception failed once, and succeeded once.

And this success is still due to the early warning from the US early warning satellite.

Mhammad nodded, intercepting ballistic missiles, where is it so simple, Pakistan has started from scratch, and it can already achieve an interception rate of one, which is also quite high.

"We will continue to test our system in the field and improve it." "Trust our technicians, we will definitely improve our interception rate," Mhammad said. ”

If the Americans want to pretend to be forced, let them pretend, the Patriot system will accumulate more and more errors over time, and they do not realize that if the system is restarted, there will definitely be a big accident in the future.

"Mr. President, Shaw has sent a message, he is ready, and he asks when he can be dispatched."

"In twenty days." Mhammad said: "Let the US Air Force first deal a severe blow to Saddam's arrogance, and let Saddam Hussein accumulate resentment." ”

After speaking, Muhammad pinched his eyebrows, this is a big move, every step he takes, he must think about it, there is absolutely no chance to go again, and he can't make mistakes.

On March 6, 93, the 20th day of the Gulf War, while sitting in front of the TV watching the news of the day, and following Lilith to feel the beauty of life, Mhammad finally received the news that the things had been delivered to Syria.

Although Saddam Hussein vowed to make the Americans bleed, his backward army really could not afford this burden.

The war has only been going on for twenty days, although the ground forces in Iraq have not suffered significant losses. However, the ground-based air defense system has almost been wiped out by the US-led multinational forces, and even those who have survived will not dare to turn on the aircraft again, lest they be hit twice.

As for Iraq's air force, after a 0-5 air battle with Pakistani fighters of the multinational force, it never dared to take off again, and all of them hid in solid anti-aircraft hangars.

This air battle is completely a replica of the battle between the Pakistani army and the Soviet army in the Afghan war.

Six MiG-29 fighters in the air against two F16s should be nine out of ten.

The MiG-29 "fulcrum", as a front-line support fighter carefully crafted by the Soviet Union, although, in the Afghan war, the original MiG-29 of the Soviet Army was often beaten and beaten by Pakistan's F14, but in order to protect its own face and arms sales interests, the Soviet Union deliberately concealed the battle damage of the MiG-29, and Pakistan was also willing to promote the "strength" of the MiG-29 to continue to ask the United States for assistance. Therefore, Saddam Hussein initially had full confidence in this fighter, believing that with the excellent air combat capability of the MiG-29, it could protect the safety of Iraq's airspace. Moreover, these fighters were all piloted by pilots from Warsaw Pact countries! The pilots hired by Saddam Hussein with high salaries will certainly be able to get off to a successful start!

But in modern air warfare, the confrontation of systems is important, and even the elite pilots of the Soviet Union cannot fight in a country like Iraq. Due to the continuous bombing of the multinational forces, which led to the paralysis of the ground air defense system, the MiG-29 after liftoff could not rely on the guidance of the CGI, so had to rely on the airborne radar to search for targets, and as a result, the F16 of the Pakistani army with the help of the E3 early warning aircraft of the US imperialists, when the "fulcrum" was still flying stupidly, they were discovered.
