In over-the-horizon air combat, electronic systems are quite important, and the side with electronic superiority will have an advantage, especially the side with actively-guided air-to-air missiles.

In later generations, the Chinese army was equipped with Su-27, and at the same time introduced R-27 missiles, for the first time to obtain the ability to attack beyond the horizon, but at the same time, the United States already has an active radar guided AIM-120 missile, at that time the Chinese Air Force studied various tactics, and wanted to use semi-active radar missiles to deal with active radar missiles, and the final result of the research is only one, that is, if you want to fight against active radar missiles, then you must also have the same active radar missiles!

This is the advantage of the generation gap, relying on this generation gap and relying on the technological superiority, the United States, the world hooligan, can show off its military might everywhere.

And now, when this advantage of theirs is cracked, this plug-in is blocked, and the two sides are back on the same running line again.

And when close combat begins, the advantages of Soviet fighters will be brought into play!

Although the operation is very cumbersome, and it takes a lot of buttons to launch a missile, the R-73 missile mounted on the Su-27 fighter is far superior to the American AIM-9M in terms of performance. The entire flight envelope is far wider than the Sidewinder, for example, the off-axis combat ability, the basic type of R-73 missile has reached 40 degrees, and the improved version is as high as 60! And the Sidewinder missile, the off-axis launch ability does not exceed thirty degrees!

Even a difference of ten degrees will make American pilots shrink, and when the R-73 appears, the Americans will continue to increase research and development efforts, and they will be relieved to successfully come up with the AIM-9X.

And now, Alex, leading the Su-27 fleet, pounced from high in the sky. At a distance of ten kilometers, Alex turned his head and put the enemy plane on his helmet sight, and when a familiar sound came from the headset, he pressed the red button on the joystick.

An R-73 missile, detached from under the wing. As soon as the smoke flew out, a high-overload turn was immediately made, and the thrust vector controlled the projectile body, which was instantly directed at the target.

In addition to having a large off-axis launch capability, it is also necessary to have high maneuverability! This maneuverability is controlled by thrust vectoring, especially in the early stage of launch, when the speed of the projectile body is small and the control torque of the aerodynamic rudder surface is small. The effect of thrust vectoring is even more pronounced.

At this time, Tollette was still waiting for the other party to break into the flight envelope of his Sidewinder missile, and when he saw that the other party launched a missile attack in an impossible direction, Tollette was shocked, and he turned on the afterburner and climbed upward, hoping to consume the energy of the opponent's missile.

It's a pity that the power range of the R-73 missile. Just over ten kilometers after the Toletra liter. The blazing tail flame gave R-73 a better guidance, and a few seconds later, Tollett's chrysanthemum exploded.

Pulling the ejection handle, Tollett's body came out of the cockpit with a sharp acceleration. Seeing that his fighter plane had caught fire, his heart was very uncomfortable, and at the same time, his mind was also thinking rapidly, there was Iraqi territory below! They throw bombs every day. The Iraqis have a bitter hatred for their own side, and if they are caught by the Iraqis, their greatest hope is that they will die a minute earlier.

He was greeted with a severe test of survival.

Having simply killed two American fighters, Alex shook his wings to regroup his formation, and then rushed to the next target with murderous vigour.

In the past, they refused to take to the skies to fight, not because they were not brave, but because they knew that with the Iraqi combat system, they could not compete with the United States, and that if they took off into the air, they would be sent to death, but now, this situation is favorable to them, and they will fight bravely, and if they shoot down an enemy plane, they will receive a reward of one million dollars.

On this day, fierce battles broke out everywhere in the sky, and in the later period, not only the MiG-29 and Su-27, but even the backward Jian-7 from Huaxia rose into the air and achieved several results. The Americans were surprised to find that this kind of fighter similar to the MiG-21 has a close-range combat capability, which is almost as good as the F-16, a product of energy maneuverability.

In the face of such losses, the United States could only temporarily admit defeat and did not send any more warplanes to the skies over Iraq to avoid even greater losses.

The skies over Iraq were quiet, but everyone knew that this was only a precursor to a large-scale military operation.

Iraq's Saddam Hussein is a stubborn guy who will definitely not admit defeat directly, and this sudden air counterattack by Iraq is the beginning!

On June 27, at 2 a.m., everything was silent.

Only a few insects and reptiles in the desert take advantage of the night to burrow out of the desert and take advantage of the low temperature at night to find food. There was silence everywhere, except for the occasional sound of the wind, which stirred the yellow sand and made a whirring sound characteristic of the desert.

At the Iraqi-Kuwait border, a long convoy headed for the border in the dark, without its headlights on. In the desert, they are unstoppable.

The inky black night obscured their whereabouts.

The existence of large-scale blocking interference has made the night bombardment of the coalition forces much less. Until they came up with a way to crack Iraq's self-inflicted tricks, they were more likely to park on airport runways and in hangars. At this time, the busiest should be the military personnel of the United States, who need to find a way to restrain this interference.

The roar of motors, huge off-road tires, constantly turning on the desert, stirred up the yellow sand, leaving deep ruts.

In the car, sitting sat an Iraqi general, Lieutenant General Nouha Mohammed al-Shehri, a bearded Iraqi general who held a luminous magnify in his hand to determine their position.

"Stop!" He raised his hand and brought the vehicle to a stop.

Noha compared the map, looked at the degrees, and said, "Use the starlight navigation to determine our position, this should be our preset position!" ”

Electromagnetic interference also blocked GPS signals, and it was necessary to use the same methods to pinpoint the location in the desert. And their positioning must be precise, which is related to their strike accuracy.

The starry sky, twinkling with a cold light, uses the starlight to locate the sky, which is the way used in the ancient age of sail.

After determining the direction, the vehicles in the convoy began to gradually move away from the appearance of a launch position.

Through the dark night, it can be seen that these vehicles are all Iraqi missile launchers. On the four-axle off-road chassis, the bulging missiles showed a hideous appearance. These missiles are numerous and occupy almost several square kilometers of land around them.

If Iraq's missile forces had never dared to move such a large area in the past, they would certainly have been discovered by US early warning planes and then summoned a large number of air strike forces to destroy Iraq's killer weapon.

And now, relying on the electromagnetic interference that has been successfully implemented again, and relying on the unremitting efforts of the air force, they have finally been able to contain the strike of the air power led by the United States, and without those pesky flies overhead, they will be able to launch this large-scale operation!

In this operation, Saddam Hussein not only drove out all the remaining 150 Scud missile vehicles (with 300 missiles remaining), but also the most advanced 20 SS-21 "Dot" surface-to-surface missiles (with 40 missiles) and 10 SS-23 "Spider" surface-to-surface missiles (with 20 missiles) purchased from Shaw.

At such a time, no one would believe that the Soviets were not involved in the covert arms sales to Iraq. After all, these two new types of surface-to-surface missiles were only available to the Soviets!

In particular, these missiles are solid ballistic missiles, which can hit and run, do not need to take time to refuel like Scuds, and have a high strike accuracy.

Moreover, it can be seen from this that the United States and the Soviet Union reached an intermediate-range nuclear missile treaty to completely destroy the short- and medium-range missiles of both sides. Otherwise, missiles like the SS-23 should have been destroyed a long time ago, how could they flow into Iraq through Xiao's channel?

Remembering that behind him was the Soviet Union, Saddam Hussein was not alone at all.

Including this offensive plan, it is a battle plan provided by Xiao, this plan is too clever, it is definitely not something that an arms dealer like Xiao can plan, behind it is definitely a huge team, that is, those guys in Moscow.

Saddam never knew that in fact, it was not really the Soviet Union behind it, and some of the help provided by the Soviet Union was just Saddam's request, and the real formulator of these plans was the young man in South Asia. And these ballistic ballistics, which have long disappeared from the Soviet equipment sequence, were not pulled out of some secret warehouse in the USSR, but copied by Pakistan.

Now, a huge striking force, 180 missile launchers, like a giant beast ready to choose people, is ready to show its hideous face and launch a death attack.

A small squad of Iraqi Republican Guards dispersed, and ten minutes later, they came with a scout covered in sand and wearing a desert camouflage suit.

Nooha asked him questions, the movements of the coalition forces in Kuwait, and so on. From the cab, he took out a laptop. Following the soldier, he walked towards the sand pile in the distance.

Underneath a pile of sand, there was an Iraqi outpost. Through this outpost, the Iraqi side can know the movements of the US military at the first time.

There were many concealed posts like this, in the southeast, in the south, in the southwest, outside the frontage of the battlefield facing Kuwait. Facing the Saudi border, there are also many hidden posts.

Each outpost relied on shallow buried lines to keep in touch with the rear. Therefore, the current electromagnetic interference is a smear for the coalition forces, while the Iraqi side still maintains a clear ability to control the battlefield, and can observe the fighters in the sky without relying on radar, relying on their naked eyes.
