There was a large-scale air battle at the front, and Qusay was lying in the underground command hall of the Ministry of Defense with his clothes on, and after receiving the report, he immediately gave the order to fight. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Since the Israelis dare to take the initiative to invade the airspace of Jordan and Saudi Arabia, then, don't blame yourself for being polite.

Qusay has never wanted the war to expand its scale, so it has always been confined to the territory of the Palestinian State and has not taken the initiative to attack Israel's homeland.

At the sound of Qusay's order, Unit 3, which had already been prepared, slowly drove out of its station and moved towards the launch position.

Unit No. 3 is Iraq's missile force. This unit was used by Qusay as a killer unit.

With the continuous development of Iraq's military industry, the number of weapons equipped by Unit 3 is also increasing. From the very beginning of the Scud missile, to the current Red Bird series of cruise missiles and OTP-23 ballistic missiles, used as tactical weapons, and the Dongfeng-3 and RSD-10, Red Bird IV, used as strategic weapons, Iraq's military industry has made great progress.

This time, they attacked targets inside Israel, using Red Bird III cruise missiles and OTP-23 missiles. Both of these missiles, with a range of less than 1,000 kilometers, just cover the entire territory of Israel.

This time, it can be regarded as a war provoked by Israel on its own initiative! Cusay made up his mind.

For example, the OTP-23 missile launcher has 200 missile launchers, and there are more than 600 missiles, while the Red Bird 3 missile, which uses a quadruple launch vehicle, has more than 200 missiles.

In this way, an attack wave can fill Israel's territory with gunsmoke, but unfortunately, this launch will make Qusay feel a pain in his flesh, and it will be all money!

With Qusay's order, one hundred missiles of each of the two missile launchers began to move towards the position.

The target of the attack has long been installed in the missile, and all of them are solid missiles, so they can complete the launch mission in a very short time.

Off-road trucks with all-wheel drive came to the launch position, unloaded the camouflage net, and they began to make final preparations before launch.

At this time, the US reconnaissance satellite happened to fly over Iraq, and they were originally going to observe the launch of Iraq's so-called carrier rocket, but now, instead of observing the launch of the carrier rocket, they have observed the prelude to the attack of Iraq's missile forces.

The United States urgently sent an early warning signal to Israel, and at the same time, 10 sets of Patriot anti-aircraft missiles deployed on Israeli soil also began to be activated urgently.

As a field air defense system to replace the Hawk missile, the Patriot anti-aircraft missile equipped in a quadruple square launch canister on a towing chassis is a product of the US Star Wars program before the abortion, it was not specifically designed to intercept ballistic missiles, but, after improvement, it has the ability to intercept ballistic missiles.

In later generations, the NMD of the United States was realized by the latest model of the Patriot missile, the PAC-3. The Patriot missile system has an advanced AW/MPQ-53 multi-functional phased array radar, which has a detection range of 150~160 kilometers, which can complete a variety of tasks such as searching, identifying, tracking, irradiating targets, guiding missiles and electronic countermeasures, monitoring 100 targets in a 120° sector, tracking 8 targets at the same time and transmitting mid-course guidance instructions to 3 missiles, and carrying terminal guidance on 3 missiles to intercept 3 incoming targets; Therefore, this kind of radar has played all the roles, and there is no need to match the guidance radar and other systems, and it adopts the composite guidance method of command and semi-active homing to improve the guidance and anti-jamming capabilities.

When Iraq used ballistic missiles to attack Israel's air bases, causing their air force to lose its combat effectiveness, Israel was also looking for a solution to the problem while it tasted defeat. The Jews are a thinking people, and they will never let the same mistake be made again. So, while maintaining close relations with the United States, they purchased this system from the United States that can intercept ballistic missiles.

And this system is still linked to the American system.

At the same time as the Patriot missile was urgently activated, several DSP missile early warning satellites operating in outer space also began to work, and they aimed their advanced equipment here, and then, in their sight, the long flame appeared.

An infrared telescope with a high-sensitivity infrared scanner began to track the tail flame of a ballistic missile launched by Iraq, and transmitted the missile's flight trajectory, flight speed, direction, trajectory inclination and position to a communications satellite in geostationary orbit.

The U.S. Space Command Base in Australia and the U.S. Aerospace Command in the homeland received the missile trajectory parameters sent by the DSP missile warning satellite at the same time, and were intensively calculating.

All of this happens almost automatically.

The calculated data was then sent via satellite to the Patriot missile positions deployed in Israel.

If you want to intercept a ballistic missile, it is definitely not so simple, with a phased array radar, after discovering the target, it is too late to solve it, and the opponent has already crashed down.

Because, by the time the phased array radar of the anti-aircraft missile discovers it, the other side will already re-enter the atmosphere, and the warhead will fly down at the speed of Schumacher, and when it is solved at that time, it will not be able to catch up.

Although the situation of the ascent stage is calculated in advance, this will not affect the final result, because the flight process of ballistic missiles obeys the laws of ballistics, and as long as the initial trajectory is known, then the position of the terminal state is almost determined.

However, there is one technique that can easily make it ineffective for this interception method, and that is to change the orbit!

If the warhead changes its orbit in the middle of the course and changes its trajectory, then the opponent will not be able to intercept it at all.

However, it is very easy for the other side to fail the interception technology, but the technology of orbit change is not simple, and Iraq is working hard to tackle the problem, but so far, it has not mastered these technologies.

The other technique, however, is much simpler.

Fake warheads!

The OTP-23 missile is a single-warhead ballistic missile, but Iraq has improved it by adding something to its warhead.

When the ballistic missiles launched by Iraq reached the skies over Israel, ten Patriot anti-aircraft missile batteries also began their interception operations. Each missile company has five launchers and 20 missiles, so as long as the interception is a little more thorough, it is completely possible to intercept the ballistic missiles fired by Iraq.

Even with an interception rate of only 50 percent, Iraq would not be able to serve its strategic objectives and effectively strike Israeli air bases.

At a distance of more than 100 kilometers, the phased array radar has already captured the target, and it is time to launch its own anti-aircraft missiles.

When they were first arranged, these missiles were mainly deployed in key areas such as Israel's air bases and Tel Aviv, while Iraq's air force did not cross the border and had been operating in Gaza and the West Bank, so they did not have the opportunity to launch.

Moreover, these anti-aircraft missiles are designed to restrain Iraq's ballistic missiles.

The first three targets were locked, and at the same time, the launch vehicle burst out with a stream of flames, and three missiles had already flown into the dark sky.

The interception of ballistic missiles, which were in actual combat for the first time, has finally stepped onto the stage of history.

In the sky, the warhead, which had already entered the fall stage, suddenly collapsed, and a large number of wires and metal platinum strips flew out of it.

Although their shape is not the same as that of the warhead, this is not an ordinary metal wire and platinum strip, they are coated with a coating that can strongly reflect electromagnetic waves, so that when they are irradiated by the opponent's radar, they are very similar to the reflection of electromagnetic waves from real warheads.

So, suddenly, a hundred flowers appeared on the radar car of the Patriot anti-aircraft missile battery.

In later generations, the United States spared no effort to build a national ballistic missile defense system, and one of the most important technological breakthroughs was the identification of real and fake warheads.

But now, this is just the beginning.

The missiles flew into the sky, and suddenly they found that they were facing not just three targets, but thirty, three hundred, or even more targets.

All of them look the same, but who is the target they have set in on before?

Patriot missiles are already confused.

In later generations, the Patriot missile can strangle the Scud missile in a big way, because it was only a backward second-generation missile, and even then, all sorts of declassified documents, proving the actual interception rate, are not so high at all.

The key reason why Iraq's Scuds did not cause them more damage was that the accuracy of their missiles was too poor, and many of them flew away.

And now, in the face of more advanced missiles, they simply do not have enough technology to overcome all the difficulties.

In ballistic missile defense, it has always been a bottomless pit, because of technological limitations, there is still a long way to go if we want to be able to intercept the missiles launched by the other side without leaking.

Although Patriot missiles have been launched into the air one after another, Iraq's ballistic missiles are still falling off one after another, and the success rate of interception is less than 10 percent.

Israel's air bases, once again, received a fatal blow.
