The night sky in Baghdad was silent, and after learning of the US statement, Saddam disappeared from a certain residence, and after running Iraq for many years, Saddam Hussein had long been cunning and had countless hiding places.

If the first bombing of the F-117 can kill Saddam, and then Iraq is in chaos, and the army takes the opportunity to recover Kuwait, such a smooth, I am afraid that the commander of the Air Force, Lieutenant General Charles, has never even dreamed of it.

The main mission of the F-117 is to bomb strategic targets such as the heavily defended Iraqi command and control center, as well as key communication centers, facilities for the research and development of nuclear and chemical weapons, and reinforced aircraft bunkers at Iraqi airfields. For example, Williams, who is now flying, is tasked with dropping the 908-kilogram laser-guided GBU-27 "Pave III" bomb in the bomb bay on the roof of the telecommunications and telegraph building in the center of Baghdad, and absolutely must not harm the hospital next to it, which is almost a wall away, otherwise tomorrow, the Iraqis will definitely tell the world about the atrocities of the United States.

At this time, the ground below is still quiet, although the United States has announced the start of the attack, and Iraq's air defense forces are also on standby, but unfortunately, the F-117 attack aircraft, which has outstanding stealth capabilities, will definitely not be detected by Iraq's rudimentary air defense radar.

Only the instrument panel in the cabin, dimly lit, Major Williams looked at the target data strapped to his knees, and compared it with the data on the navigation screen for the last time to determine the route of attack.

There is no light control in Baghdad, and it seems that they do not realize that the first bomb will be played in the sky over Baghdad, even if the Iran-Iraq war has been going on for ten years. Iranian bombers barely flew over Baghdad.

This ancient city, which has a history of more than 2,000 years, is about to usher in a tragic night!

Accurately entering the bombing route, Williams operated the guidance equipment, and under the belly, sent out a laser beam invisible to the naked eye, this clear night. Just the right way to give your own laser-guided bomb the most accurate guidance signal!

The laser beam hit the top of the target, and on the monitor in the cockpit, the reticle pressed against the top of the building, and Williams pressed the button.

There was a bang under the fuselage, and the hatch of the bomb bay opened, which in this moment would destroy the stealth ability of the F-117, but it was only for a short second.

Nearly a ton of laser-guided bombs, dropped from the belly. The seeker in front, closely tracking the laser beam, is moving towards the target.

Laser-guided bombs have a fairly high degree of accuracy, and if the laser designator is held by a person on the ground to indicate the target, the fighter can just drop the bomb and leave.

And now, the laser beam is also emitted by the fighter, so it is necessary to wait until the bomb hits the target. to be able to leave.

These few seconds are very short. It's also very long.

The GBU-27 bomb, which flickered down from the sky, smashed accurately to the top of this target, and the huge kinetic energy allowed it to effortlessly smash off the roof and fall to the floor of the top floor. It smashed open the floor of the top floor again, and the huge impact made the whole building sway.

Just below the top floor, the bomb exploded violently, on one side of the entire building. It collapsed in an instant in an explosion.

This kind of bomb is specially used to deal with reinforced targets, such as the reinforced hangar of the airport, which can be destroyed with one piece, and now it is quite easy to deal with a building.

The sound of violent explosions woke up the people of Baghdad, and the air raids of the multinational forces finally began!

Countless anti-aircraft artillery began to shoot aimlessly into the air, and searchlights continued to shoot out pillars of light, trying to find out the planes in the sky, but unfortunately, this is no longer the era of World War II!

From the sky, there were straight lines drawn by tracer bullets below, surrounded by black smoke from the explosion of high-explosive bombs, which seemed terrifying, but the F-117 continued to walk through these bright lines, looking for the next target to bomb.

Each F-117 is capable of carrying two GBU-27 bombs to attack two targets.

Almost at the same time, a large number of fighters that followed up had also entered the target area.

In the first night of the air raid, the United States used more than 1,000 aircraft, including two electronic jammers, the F-4G "Wild Weasel" and the EA-6B "Prowler," to jam Iraq's military radar and communications links. F-117A, F-15E, and A-6 attack planes, F-111, B-52 bombers, and so on all took to the field.

If you don't move, it's enough, and if you move, it's earth-shattering!

The anti-aircraft fire network, airfields, "Scud" missiles, nuclear and chemical weapons production plants, military command organs and control centers in Iraq were the main targets of the bombing.

In addition to the United States, other countries of the multinational force were also involved in the operation, with the United Kingdom being the most active in the attack, dispatching Tornado attack aircraft, while Pakistan, another major participant, provided a wing of F-14 fighters to provide air cover.

Participation in a ground attack? Although Pakistan nominally obeyed the US deployment, especially the orders of General Norman Schwarzkopf, commander-in-chief of the US forces in the Gulf, Pakistan ignored the attack plan proposed by the command on the grounds that it did not have precision-guided weapons, so General Schwarzkopf could only accept Pakistan's task of providing air cover.

The airstrikes went well, and in the evening, the White House made a press statement, and the elder Bush spoke in a red face, claiming that Iraq had been hit hard.

In response, in a secret venue, Saddam Hussein also spoke.

"The hypocritical and criminal Bush has committed a bloody debt to the Iraqi people by carrying out inhumane massacres in conjunction with the rebellion of the Holy Land! We in Iraq will definitely not compromise, this is the neo-colonial war of the West against us! Now, the Great Holy War has begun! We must redouble our efforts to fight back at the enemy and make courageous sacrifices to defend the motherland and our revolutionary cause! We, Iraq, will use all means to strike at our enemies! ”

At the same time as Saddam Hussein was speaking, Iraq's Scud missile units were maneuvering rapidly in the desert areas of southern Iraq.

Fight the enemy! Saddam's trump card is the Scud missile!

Iraq launched a large number of Scud missiles during the Iran-Iraq war, and now, Iraq's missile forces are once again demonstrating their force!

With the range of Iraq's Scud missiles, even the improved Hussein missiles cannot hit Pakistan, so Iraq can only retaliate against its neighboring countries.

The first enemy is Saudi Arabia! Also Arab brothers, Saudi Arabia actually allowed the American army to land on Saudi territory! This is a betrayal of the entire Arab world! Therefore, the first one Iraq wants to retaliate against is Saudi Arabia!

The second is Israel, Iraq's territory is closer to Israel, and it is very easy to hit Israel's territory with missiles, and at such times, Saddam Hussein will absolutely not be stingy in pulling Israel into the war.

The four-axle 9P117 Scud launcher, traveling in the desert, came to a predetermined launch position before dawn.

The fighting that broke out in the air, they have already seen, so many warplanes, air strikes on Iraq! The Americans are vainly trying to force Iraq to submit with air strikes, and Iraq will defend its territory with the sword in its own hand!

Several soldiers jumped out of the car, fully dressed, and their heads covered with gas masks, looking somewhat scary.

These liquid missiles, before they can be launched, must first be refueled.

Dragging the thick pipes, the soldiers quickly ran to the filling port, skillfully operated, and in the roar of the motors, metamethylhydrazine and red smoke nitric acid were filled into the missiles.

It took more than 10 minutes to refill, and then the missile began to slowly erect, and in the launch vehicle, Iraqi soldiers were still nervously preparing various launch data for the missile.

Target, an American military base on the territory of Saudi Arabia!

After a few minutes, everything was ready, and the east was already slowly turning white.

"Launch!" The commander of the missile company gave an order, and the engine at the tail of this slender missile emitted a puff of white smoke, followed by a flash of red light.

Dragging the tongue of fire, the missile began to fly upwards, and white smoke enveloped the entire launch position.

"Shift positions!" In the midst of the tongues of fire, the Scud missiles completed a wave of launches, and just after the missiles were launched, the company commander of the missile company immediately ordered the transfer.

Those missiles dragging tongues of fire rushed into the sky one by one, and Iraq's counterattack also began!

The Scud missile continued to fly, and before it had even broken out of the atmosphere, it had already been detected by a DSP missile warning satellite in space.

Originally, as part of Star Wars, the United States developed a large number of early warning satellites, but now, although the Star Wars program has been abandoned, many of its achievements have been transformed into actual equipment, and the United States' high investment in the Star Wars program has also paid off.

Iraq launched missiles!

The DSP missile early warning satellite uses a high-sensitivity infrared telescope to track the flames of the 'Scud' missile, and continuously transmits the missile's flight trajectory, flight speed, direction, trajectory inclination, and position to the ground station. The US space command base in Australia and the US Aerospace Command in the mainland received the trajectory parameters of the 'Scud' missile sent by the DSP missile early warning satellite at the same time, and after rapid calculation by the ground station, they quickly sent the flight trajectory and impact point of the 'Scud' missile to Saudi Arabia.
