Chapter 764: Meteor-2

Later generations of military experts analyzed that the excessive concentration of the US army led to this major casualty, and they should be dispersed, in the face of ballistic missiles, this is the most suitable choice!

However, you must know that the army must be cohesive in order to form a strong force, and if it is always dispersed and arranged, then it is not an army, but a guerrilla army!

What's more, in order to deal with the threat of ballistic missiles, the United States has vigorously developed the Patriot air defense missile system, and now, along with the entire army, there are six Patriot missile battalions!

In addition to these, there are several Burke-class Aegis warships that have cruised to the perimeter of Bandar Abbas, carrying Standard-2 anti-aircraft missiles that already have the ability to intercept ballistic missiles.

In later generations, the Americans only began to develop the Block IV.A type with the ability to intercept ballistic missiles in 93 years, which evolved from the Standard-2 Block IV extended range type, and was made by adding a booster on the basis of the Standard-2, with a maximum range of 185 kilometers and a maximum launch height of 24,000 meters, which was used for fleet regional air defense; The Block IV.A adopts the body of Block IV, and the guidance device is replaced with a dual-mode radio frequency/infrared RP/IR detector, which further improves the sensitivity and anti-jamming ability of the missile; At the same time, the autopilot / control system and the modified fragmentation warhead were refitted. In '97, the U.S. Navy conducted its first interception test.

Now, in the face of the severe threat of ballistic missiles, the US Navy is also developing rapidly in its own Aegis system, and last year, it conducted a test of the Standard-2 air defense missile to intercept ballistic missiles, which was a complete success and became the theater anti-missile system of the Navy's main force.

A total of nearly ten sets of interception systems were turned on alternately. Even if the other side uses an electromagnetic pulse warhead again, it can guarantee a sufficient launch channel, and even if they just call a hundred ballistic missiles, the Americans can successfully deal with it!

When it comes to science and technology, the United States is always the most powerful!

Moreover, in the face of Iranian ballistic missile attacks. The United States has long responded to the problem, and just last year, when it was attacked by Iranians for the first time with ballistic missiles, the United States used land-based bombers and sea-based Tomahawk missiles to destroy Iran's ballistic missile production plants and weaken the Iranians' war potential.

And now, when the battle started again, at the same time as the rapid advance of the American troops in the southeast. The warplanes of the United States and other NATO countries have begun to bomb continuously, weakening Iran's war potential, those factories are destroyed, they lose the ability to produce ballistic missiles, how many ballistic missiles do the Iranians have in storage? How many can be thrown in the direction of Abbas?

After the analysis of the US staff, it was concluded that it was safe for the US troops to rest and recuperate in Bandar Abbas. However, they did not expect it. Danger is still unexpected.

For this war, the United States launched more military satellites, and at this time, a ballistic missile early warning satellite in outer space detected infrared radiation in central Iran, which is a sign of ballistic missile ignition!

The Iranians launched a new ballistic missile attack! Early warning satellites quickly route intelligence through geostationary satellites. Forwarded to the Pacific and U.S. homeland commands, the command quickly calculated, and soon calculated the launch targets of these ballistic missiles.

Bandar Abbas! The range is already more than seven hundred kilometers, and it is the Meteor-2 ballistic missile of the Iranians! Quantity, sixty pieces!

In the flames that keep rising. One ballistic missile after another, launched into the air, this kind of launch scene, such a spectacular scene!

Sixty Meteor-2 ballistic missiles! Although it was not possible to gather more than 100 ballistic missiles from the Iraqis at the beginning, the number was quite quite large, and some of them were special warheads developed by the Iranians!

The Americans, began a large-scale attack, and in the face of the attack, the attitude of the Iranians, is to drive the Americans away!

And from the specific tactics, it is necessary to apply flexibly, in order to create a good opportunity, the Iranians took the initiative to withdraw from Bandar Abbas, and now, the waiting opportunity, has finally arrived!

The sword has been shot, see how the Americans take it!

Due to the maneuvering propulsion, the Americans' huge pave claw radar could not follow, and only two mobile long-range early warning radars continued to be turned on, capturing the trail of ballistic missiles coming from afar.

Of the six Patriot missile battalions, four battalions have phased array radars turned on, ready to capture the first batch of targets, leaving two Patriot missile battalions for backup to prevent being hit by electromagnetic pulse bombs.

At the same time, the Aegis warship on the outside of the port, the Aegis system is also being turned on, and two of the four phased array radars are radiating countless electromagnetic waves towards the north.

Since the data link between the Navy and the Army is still not connected at this time, and it is impossible to assign targets, the Navy's Aegis system is mainly used to play a supplementary role, in case the Patriot missile is not completely intercepted, the Standard-2 missile will be launched as a supplement.

The missile in the sky, after flying quickly and re-entering the atmosphere, increased to a speed of Mach 6, and at this time, the distance between the two sides was less than 50 kilometers.

"Launch!" With the order of the commander of the anti-aircraft missile battalion, the operator pressed his index finger to the launch button, and according to the unified distribution of targets by the air defense system, one by one PAC-2 missiles in the quadruple box-type launch canisters, dragging tongues of fire, flew into the distant sky.

Sharp sirens sounded throughout Bandar Abbas, and the sleeping American GIs woke up suddenly.

Damn, I won't be able to sleep well! The American GIs were frightened and hurried out.

During the day, tanks were scattered on the streets, and now, with the sudden attack of ballistic missiles, the Americans are in a mess.

Rising from the carpet, Sergeant Major 3rd Class Short quickly climbed into the tank, and with the push of a button, the gas turbine driven by compressed air let out a roar and started in an instant.

Why does the U.S. Army love gas turbines? Although this thing is an oil-drinking monster, it is a great burden on logistics support, but there are also quite a lot of advantages, for example, it starts quickly, whether it is a cold of minus 40 degrees, or a high temperature of 60 degrees Celsius, as long as you press the start button, you can start quickly, and, without heating the car, you can output the maximum power in a few seconds, and when operating, you don't have to worry about stalling due to dragging.

However, when he lit the fire, he didn't know where to go, and there was no room for him to move around with cars.

At this time, James, the commander of the car in the back, also rushed up and turned on the radio.

"Attention, air raid alert, a batch of Meteor-2 missiles are coming, it is expected to arrive in three minutes, pay attention to find cover and take shelter!" Command's orders were constantly looping on the radio.

It's a ballistic missile attack! Find cover to dodge! Damn, there are Iranian houses everywhere, where to find shelter? James jumped out of the car, looked around, and finally found a small building not far away, which was supposed to be a reinforced concrete structure.

There are also people who choose to stay in the tank, as long as they are not directly hit, the tank armor can still block the fragments.

Moreover, maybe this is just a false alarm, and with so many Patriot missiles deployed, maybe they can all be intercepted!

James sat in the tank, the hatch was still open, and he could see the dark night sky, like fireworks, and Patriot missiles were launched into the air.

The US anti-aircraft missile forces, at this time at the most tense time, although they are mainly controlled by computers, are still worried, can they intercept it this time?

Two Patriot missiles flew towards a target, and when they were five meters away from the target, the proximity warhead exploded, and the flying fragments met the warhead of Mach 6, and in an instant, a fireball appeared.

A target, disappear from the radar screen, intercept one accurately!

It seems that the command is a little too worried, the Iranians are not Iraq, they can buy warheads for electromagnetic pulse bombs from the Soviet Union, the Iranians offend people everywhere, everything is self-reliant, just get an ordinary high-explosive warhead, that kind of advanced warhead, it is absolutely impossible to produce.

While thinking, the operator sees that the intersection of the two tracks has passed, and the target has not disappeared.

Damn, interception failed! Quickly, notify the Navy to make up the interception!

On the periphery of Bandar Abbas, several Aegis warships docked also began to set off fireworks continuously, and the MK41 launcher was full of fire, and one by one the Standard-2 missiles, dragging tongues of fire, flew out, and the smoke covered the entire warship, and soon nothing could be seen.

Four Patriot missile battalions, firing one hundred and twenty missiles, but only intercepting half of the targets, this is still an improved system! The Navy ridiculed such an interception rate, and at the same time, the Navy's standard missiles have already begun to be re-fired.

Sixty Standard-2 missiles, launched from four Aegis warships, flew to thirty targets, which is completely capable of handling the Aegis system, which has the ability to resist saturation attacks.

The Standard-2 missile, which is more than a ton, flies quickly in the sky, makes close contact with the target, and then releases brilliant flowers in the air.

The American troops in Bandar Abbas have forgotten their fears at this time, the sky is full of brilliant fireworks, and their own anti-aircraft missiles are constantly intercepting the incoming ballistic missiles!

The tragedy of Dhahran will not happen again, and the same result will definitely not be staged!

The Americans were so confident that some of them had even left the makeshift and unreliable anti-aircraft shelters and ran out into the streets to watch.

Joke, being smashed down by a Mach 6 target falling from the sky, the specially reinforced bunkers are unreliable, not to mention the buildings in the city of Abbas that are now being hurriedly searched, since it is useless, it is better to come out and watch the excitement.

Tonight is really a starry sky with meteors. (To be continued.) )
