Chapter 671: A Hundred and Fifty Missiles Launched in a Massive Manner
readx;
The reason why Qusay made great efforts to introduce the OTP-23 missile from the Soviet Union is because it is a solid missile, the so-called solid and liquid, which is for the fuel of the engine, and the first missiles, as well as most of the launch vehicles, are liquid, and inside the missile, there are fuel tanks and accelerant tanks. www.biquge.info≦≧Because the propellant is toxic and easily corrodes the fuel tank, and if there is fuel in the fuel tank during transportation, it will shake with the vehicle incessantly, and there is a risk of friction and fire, so liquid missiles are refueled before they are ready to be fired. After that, countries began to vigorously develop solid missiles, in order to overcome this shortcoming, the fuel of solid missiles is solid, (it is conceivable, similar to two kicks) as long as the missile is manufactured, it is filled with fuel, therefore, this kind of missile eliminates the process of refueling complex cāo procedures, the preparation time is short, the energy is concentrated, but there are also shortcomings, the engine can not be controlled after ignition, and the engine working time is relatively short.
For example, on the aerospace development satellite, the secondary ignition of the engine is often involved, and the solid rocket engine does not have this possibility, as long as it is ignited, it is impossible to extinguish and re-ignite.
But for missiles, this is not a disadvantage.
While the Scud missile position was deployed and refueled, the OTP-23 missile also came to another position. ≦≧
Sending shè ballistic missiles, the pattern is fixed, determining the position of one's own side, determining the position of the opponent, and then, by calculating, the trajectory of the missile that needs to fly. When to re-enter the atmosphere, the whole process is flown by the inertial guidance system. Although the degree of jingdu of the missile already has a theoretical value. For example, the Scud missile, on the extreme shè range. There is a 300-meter degree of jing, but there will be various reasons that affect this degree of jing, for example, if the position of your initial hair shè is not determined. Then, the error of the endpoint will definitely increase.
This is also the time when ballistic missiles are sending out shè, they need to have a fixed firing position, on a fixed firing position. The position here has been repeatedly calculated in advance, so that the degree of jing is the highest when sending shè, and when it comes to a new position, it is necessary to recalculate the position of the shè position, and if there is an error in the calculation, it will bring about a change in the degree of shè hitting.
Unit 3 was very serious about doing this work, however, the last time they were firing the Red Bird 3 missile, they had already made an advance measurement, and this time it was only in the last measurement. ≦≧ just continue to improve.
In the process of refueling the missiles, the work of compensating again and measuring the position of the hair shè position is also being carried out intensively.
Even if there is some error in the position of the Red Bird 3 missile, the missile can also correct its course by comparing the surrounding terrain after the shè is launched. However, ballistic missiles are different, as long as they are sent out. It's like a cannonball flying out, and only God knows where it can hit.
Therefore, the last time Iraq did attack the enemy's nuclear weapons bases, Iraq did not use ballistic missiles, but cruise missiles, because they needed to have a high degree of intensity, especially to hit the bases at the lower end of those secret buildings, and the error was on the order of several meters. And now, the target is different, they need to hit a wide range of airfields, such a large area, the circumferential error of the missile of 300 meters, is no longer a problem, even the most deviated from the target, will explode on the airport, not to mention, for the environment of the airport, in each of the thirty missiles prepared at each airport, they used ten 8Ф44Э monolithic high-explosive warheads, ten 8Ф45 thermobaric warheads, and ten 8Ф44k cluster sub-warheads. ≦≧
8Ф44Э monolithic high-explosive warhead with a warhead length of 2650mm, a diameter of 884mm, and a warhead weight of 987kg. The radius of destruction is 50 meters, the crater depth is 1.4 to 4 meters, and the diameter is 12 meters. As long as one hits the runway, the entire base will be scrapped, and if it happens to be blown up in the group, then I am afraid that the nearby fighters will suffer.
The 8Ф45 thermobaric warhead, filled with AC-8 cloud explosive, is a fuel-air bomb using solid fuel. When this warhead explodes, the cloud explosive inside is thrown away, mixed with the air and causes a violent explosion, which is called cloud detonation. The overpressure and temperature field effects produced by the fog detonation, as well as the scouring effect of the high-temperature and high-pressure detonation products, have a huge destructive effect on the target, and because the cloud and fog detonation will consume the surrounding oxygen, an anoxic area can be formed within the scope of action, so that the organisms can suffocate to death. Cloudburst agents release much higher energy than explosives of equal mass, and the blast wave generated can damage large areas of military objectives.
8Ф44k cluster sub-mother warhead. In 1970 began to be equipped. Contains 42 high-explosive fragmentation bullets with a diameter of 122 mm. ≦≧ Soviet troops in Afghanistan used this warhead. Because cluster bombs are bombs that are packed with many small bombs and dropped together, they will walk over a large area to make up for the lack of missile proficiency and attack large-area targets such as airport runways, which have a strong destructive ability.
Moreover, after the cluster bomb explodes, some warheads will not be able to detonate for various reasons, so as long as the cluster bomb strikes, these air bases will be unusable for a long time.
Then, even if the mission of making the Israeli air force unable to take off to fight its own side during this period of time is achieved, even if some of them survive, the United Arab army will have enough confidence to seize air supremacy with the Israeli air force.
Time passed minute by minute, and all personnel were nervously preparing.
Another firing position, the OTP-23 missile, has also begun the process of erection, the OTP-23 missile has a longer range, and their target this time is also the farthest.
These actions commanded by Qusay have a prominent feature, if they do not launch, they will do their best, as long as they move, they will do their best, and they must be ruthless, absolutely ruthless, and they will use hundreds of missiles in a missile attack, which is the first time in the history of later generations, because the price of such an attack is quite high, and what they issued is not a missile, it is a naked gold bar, and it is consumed like this. ≦≧
However, there was a little accident that no one noticed.
Every time they send a shè, they deliberately avoid the US reconnaissance satellites, and this time is no exception, but with Iraq's current capabilities, it is impossible to monitor the satellites in the sky, and their news comes from the Soviet Union and the big powers in the East.
Reconnaissance satellites have a fixed trajectory in the sky, and by virtue of their orbits, it is possible to guess when satellites will be able to fly overhead.
There was no need for the Soviet Union to bluff Iraq, the timing they offered Iraq was correct, but the satellites in the sky sometimes had to change their orbits.
A satellite that had changed its orbit was passing over the sky at this time.
The satellite's eyes scanned back and forth on the ground, and its lens was aimed at the yellow sand in the desert.
Suddenly, its eyes widened: the camera began to turn, changing the focus, gradually making out some small black dots in those yellow sand dunes on the ground.
The black dots became clearer and clearer, and the observers on the ground, by detecting the delayed signals transmitted by the satellite and the communication satellite, and then using the satellite to improve the resolution, finally saw the black dots one by one.
Although the missiles were fired in desert camouflage, the missiles were not painted in the same livery and were now being spotted by a reconnaissance satellite overhead, which did not have the same livery as it is now.
From the sky, the missile is just a small black circle, but, by virtue of the comparison with the surrounding environment, with its own experience, the United States still found out that at this time there was a large-scale missile attack by Iraq!
The United States already knew that after Iraq had Scud missiles, it also had OTP-23 missiles imported from the Soviet Union, but what the United States did not expect was that the number of missiles that Iraq possessed was so large!
Envy, even the current United States, in one attack, is reluctant to send so many ballistic missiles, but now, Iraq is sending these missiles at the same time!
"Unit 3 has completed all preparations and is ready to strike at any time." In the command hall of the Ministry of Defense in Baghdad, Unit 3, which has been connected to the C3I system, reported to Baghdad on the current operation.
"According to the predetermined plan, immediately launch shè missiles." Defense Minister Adnan said in a calm tone.
In the Syrian desert, in the originally calm sand dunes, all the missile launchers began the most exciting blow.
Underneath the 9K72 missile, a burst of flames suddenly emitted, and then, in the trembling of the ground, the missile began to slowly leave the ground and fly upward.
The tongue of fire at the tail of the missiles illuminated the position red, and as the missiles rose into the air one after another, a string of smoke rose up from the entire missile position.
It is even more dazzling than the last attack, which was only a single Dimona attack on the Sè column, but now it is five bases!
In another position, the OTP-23 missile, too, began to fire, because this is a solid engine, so the flame is a little smaller than that of a liquid engine, however, the thrust is the same, and due to the small mass of the missile body, the take-off speed of this missile, is faster.
There was no failure from the last time, and all the missiles were successfully launched.
Like the shè multiple rocket launchers, the shè mass of missiles, with these missiles, beat the ass of the sè people! (To be continued)
