Now, it was eight o'clock in the evening, and although it was pitch black outside, the pilot, who had been equipped with a new type of navigation equipment, could still skillfully sail from the Dazan area, where he had been anchored yesterday, across the Red Sea, according to the pre-planned route.

In addition to the sophisticated inertial navigation system, their other precision navigation equipment is the satellite navigation system, and now, Iraq's various main combat equipment has begun to popularize the satellite navigation system, especially all kinds of bombs, after the installation of satellite navigation receiving terminals, the accuracy will be greatly improved, and the cost is far lower than that of laser-guided bombs and cruise missiles.

While maneuvering on land, they also began to use night voyages, from the Persian Gulf, bypassing the Arabian Sea, to the waters of the Red Sea.

Their transportation capacity is enough to transport an armored regiment to a designated position at one time, and now, they need to achieve a miracle and transport the entire 35th armored division to the Sinai Peninsula in one night!

The first troops to land were the ** armored regiment.

Seven, not seven large ground-effect aircraft, this is the result of Alekseev's life's work, and in the Soviet Union, after the project was axed, it finally bore fruit in Iraq in the Middle East. With a take-off weight of 500 tons and a speed of 500 knots, this large ground-effect vehicle can fly above the sea surface at a speed of 500 knots, and it is mainly used to transport the main battle tanks of armored regiments.

On the other hand, thirty small Kitty Hawk-class ground effect aircraft are mainly used to transport other armored vehicles and personnel.

After decades of experimentation and development in the Soviet Union, this technology has been gradually perfected, but it is a pity that it was born at the wrong time, under the rigid planned economic system of the Soviet Union, personal likes and dislikes will determine the ultimate fate of this product, and it has not been paid attention to by the high-level, and finally ended up being dismounted.

However, it took root in a foreign land and bore fruit, and in 89 Iraq obtained all the technical information of this advanced means of transport and hired technicians, including its chief designer Alekseev, and this means of transport began to enter service with the Iraqi army in large quantities.

The Kitty Hawk is a medium-sized ground effect vehicle that can transport 20 tons of cargo and is used to transport infantry fighting vehicles and supply equipment.

In addition to this ground effect aircraft, Iraq is also equipped with larger aircraft, which is called the Caspian Sea monster by the United States, because the basic tests of this large aircraft have been perfected, and Iraq has more advanced processing capabilities, so while building the medium-sized Kitty Hawk class, this more carrying capacity of the aircraft, under the care of President Qusay, completed the manufacture of the first prototype in 90 years, and this year, seven have been built.

This aircraft was named the Salman class by Iraq.

Now, the Salman-class aircraft slowly lowered its altitude on the surface of the sea, until it came to the shore, then slowly slowed down, and gradually grounded on the flat shore, although it looked like a boat, but now two rows of tires stretched out, and after making contact with the flat shore, it landed steadily on the ground.

The massive hatch at the rear opens, similar to the Il-76, forming an inclined plane that allows the vehicle to drive directly into it.

"Fly on board now." Ali gave the order.

In fact, there is no clear statement whether this kind of thing is called a ship or an airplane, it is like a ship below and an airplane above, which can take off and land on the sea, or it can skim over the flat land and land on it.

However, no one is pursuing these issues, and what they need now is to quickly get on these planes and complete a big move.

A tank gasped and rumbled up, the appearance of this tank is somewhat similar to the Soviet T-72 tank, especially the chassis is very similar, but above, it is completely different, with an angular style, definitely a welded turret.

This kind of tank is a new main battle tank independently developed by Iraq, and it has gone through the arduous efforts of Iraq's scientific and technological personnel, and this new type of tank has finally been finalized and equipped with troops, and as Iraq's trump card unit, the 35 th Armored Division is one of the first units to replace these tanks.

This tank uses an improved 6TD engine with a power of 1,200 horsepower, drives a 45-ton body, can obtain an off-road speed of 46 kilometers per hour, and the main gun is still a 2A46 125 mm caliber high-pressure smoothbore gun, but the shells they use now are smuggled from the Soviet Union for their own use, and the strong performance of this shell has long been proven.

And in addition to this kind of shells, they also have two spare special shells on each tank, through Kartsev's introduction, the artillery missiles introduced by Iraq!

The biggest change is its turret, which has undergone earth-shaking changes in its turret, flooded with electronics, fire control systems, night vision devices, and laser suppression systems that have not been practiced on the battlefield.

According to preliminary estimates, the combat effectiveness of this tank is one and a half times that of the T72.

Even if they met the M1 tank on the front, they were confident that they would confront it, and as for the Merkava tank, which Israel itself was equipped, it was definitely an object of abuse.

However, inside Iraq, this tank was only given the designation T-72M1, and even if it was discovered by the outside world, it would only be thought that it was an improved T-72 tank.

When it was originally designed, the Salman-class took into account the size of the transport main battle tank, and the ** armored regiment also carried out this kind of training, so although it was in the dark, with the help of advanced night vision devices, one tank after another drove close to the belly of the Salman-class.

One such aircraft can carry nine T-72M1 tanks, Ali's ** armored regiment, the main force is forty-eight T-72M1 tanks and forty-eight BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles, so after these ground effect aircraft are ashore, they can load their entire ** armored regiment.

Iraq does not have large transport ships or amphibious landing ships, and they are taking a different path.

Soon, the engine in front began to roar, eight turbofan engines, blowing out a huge air flow, on the main wing behind, forming an additional air cushion, used to enhance the effect of the ground, the drag was greatly reduced, the huge Salman-class began to slide on the shore, running faster and faster, after entering the water, continue to slide, suddenly, the body is light, has flown up.

There was a loud roar in the cabin, and there was no way, because the engines were at the front. Ali's heart is surging, this time, there is finally another battle to fight!

For Ali, he is eager to fight, longing for a bloody battlefield, in the present, in other regions, there is no battle to fight, so defeating the Jews is already his biggest dream, therefore, although there has long been an order to promote him to the deputy commander of the military region, he still chose to stay in the front-line troops.

It was pitch black outside, but there was a fury before their eyes, and this time, they were going to teach the damned Jews a lesson!

The Salman-class and Kittyhawk-class flew steadily at a distance of more than ten meters above the water.

Due to the deterioration of the situation in the Golan Heights, the attention of Israel and the Americans has been focused on the north, where their AWACS aircraft have been monitoring. However, for the defense of the south, they were very lax.

Moreover, in order not to be discovered by the Israelis, the route of action of the Iraqi army is the Gulf of Suez, which is far away from Israel and is the territory of Egypt, not to mention the long-range early warning radar deployed in Israel, even the early warning aircraft in southern Israel, it is impossible to detect such ultra-low-altitude aircraft.

If you look at the distance, you can reach the predetermined location directly to the north, but the entire southern part of the Sinai Peninsula is high mountains, and theoretically, the WIG aircraft can actually fly to a height of several hundred meters or even thousands of meters like an airplane, but this has deviated from the original intention of its design, and it is different from Iraq's current plan.

Along the Gulf of Suez, with the vast eastern desert of Egypt to the west and the Sinai Peninsula to the east, the first combat units are flying at a speed of 600 kilometers per hour. The Kitty Hawk class behind is also flying at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, and at this speed, one trip of the Kitty Hawk class is enough for the Salman-class to run twice, but due to loading and unloading reasons, the final time between the two sides is about the same.

Along the Gulf of Suez, approaching Suez City, the formation did not continue to fly forward, but turned to the right and flew into the Sinai Desert in the western part of the Sinai Peninsula!

This is the advantage of the WIG aircraft, although it is designed for the sea, but beaches, swamps, ice, snow and other flat terrain, are their flight space, have a strong amphibious ability, in the beach landing, there are more important advantages.

If we continue to fly in the direction of the Suez Canal, and then to the east, we will have to walk a third of the way, and now it will take only an hour to fly from here by land, directly to the Mediterranean, and then by sea to the assembly point and landing.

If you use a boat, even if you enter the Sinai Peninsula through the Gulf of Aqaba and then go overland, it will take more than ten hours, and by then it will be very passive when the day dawns and the fuel is exhausted. Now, you only need to wait quietly for an hour to reach your destination.

On the western coastline of Duhair, the Salman-class gradually stopped, slid onto the beachhead, and from the tail, one after another main battle tanks, drove down, they, have set foot on the land of the Sinai Peninsula! They are just over sixty kilometers from the border of the Gaza Strip and from the border line of the Israelis!

In the darkness, Ali smiled heartily, revealing his white teeth.

After going back, because it is empty, the speed of the ground effect aircraft will increase, so that it will take two hours to make a round trip, and in this night, they can run five round-trips, which is enough to transport all the main forces of the First Armored Division.

I am afraid that even the US military will be envious of their transportation capabilities. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to register as a member to recommend this work, your support is my biggest motivation. )
