Chapter 162 Putting eye drops on Americans(1/2)
.
On February 25, 1991, Xiao Qiang received a mango he had been waiting for several days and had already been delivered to Egypt.
When he received the news, he was watching TV news.
Although Saddam vowed to make the Americans blood flow, his backward army obviously could not bear the burden.
In the past few days since the war started, his ground troops did not suffer much loss. However, his ground radar network was almost reimbursed by the United States. Even if he survived, he would not dare to turn on the computer again, so as not to be hit by a second blow.
As for the Air Force, after a zero-to-five air battle with the US military, they never dared to take off again and all hid in the air defense shutdown hangar.
This air battle is exactly like a replica of the domestic military exercises that Xiao Qiang participated in.
Six MiG-29 fighter jets launched into the air are in a stable position.
The MiG 29 fulcrum, as a front-line support fighter carefully manufactured by the Soviet Union, has been well-known. Because the Soviet Union has exported a huge MiG series record over the past 30 years and competed with the United States, it attracted the attention of the world as soon as the MiG 29 was launched.
In the confrontation exercises conducted by the US military at home, they used f16 and MiG29 to fight. In terms of confrontation, f16 has the upper hand; in the air combat, MiG29 has a great advantage.
Saddam has absolute confidence in this fighter jet and believes that it can protect the security of Iraqi airspace with the MiG-29's excellent air combat capabilities.
But this time, during the fourth day of the night, the Iraqi pilots learned what is beyond the visual range of combat.
Due to the paralysis of the ground radar network, MiG29 could only rely on the opportunity to use the radar. The US military searched for the US military with the help of early warning aircraft and found them in Iraq in the period of climbing.
When the MiG29 was still looking for US fighter jets like a headless fly, several missiles flew silently. Two MiG29s were hit by missiles without any preparation and disintegrated directly in the air.
Both sides quickly came to close range and entered a close battle.
The Iraqi Air Force relied on the MiG29's helmet aiming system and quickly locked in the cumbersome operating procedures of the US MiG aircraft, causing them to suffer a great loss. In order to launch a missile, they had to switch eleven buttons. When they finished this program, the F16 had already gotten rid of it and launched an attack first.
A button, f16 only needs one button. It turns MiG 29 into an air-ground fireball.
Two more MiG 29s were shot down. The US military was far ahead with a record of 4-0 and maintained an absolute advantage of 4-2 in the remaining air power comparison.
The remaining two MiG29s have lost confidence and fled in a hurry.
A MiG 29 was blocked by two F16s. He tried his best to get rid of the opponent, but he could not get rid of the opponent. In desperation, the pilot made an operation error, and the fighter rushed straight to the ground, piercing it, and exploded with a bang.
Such a funny scene made the pilot of F16 shocked. Then in the air channel, the US pilots burst into laughter.
The last MiG29,,:.|There was a life saved.
This air confrontation quickly spread throughout the world through TV media and press conferences between the US military. The huge difference in the two sides not only made F16 famous, but also made MiG29, one was the best.
In Xiao Qiang's view, this result was originally expected.
Judging from the experience he gained from participating in the domestic exercise in the local area, if Saddam had not been in a stolen manner from the beginning, he would launch a full-scale attack and entangle with the US military before the US military was deployed. Facing the US military's superior technology, his failure was destined and would become a disastrous defeat!
Of course, even if he launched an attack at the beginning, this failure was inevitable. However, it could make the US military shed more blood and achieve greater results.
Xiao Qiang doesn't want the US military to win so easily.
The longer the US military's war in the Middle East was, the less time he had to take into account his layout in the United States. Moreover, the attacks carried out by the Americans caused the death of three of his subordinates, which still made him feel uneasy.
He is very happy to cause more trouble for the Americans. Reorganize several sets of "mangoes" to kill more people in the US military to comfort the brothers' spirit in heaven!
Yankovic personally escorted the "mango" to Egypt.
"Mango" is a code name, its real name is "improved Scud Guidance System".
When Yankovic led Du Fei and other Chinese mercenaries to join with the Eastern European Legion left by Nicholas to start construction of the base in Africa. He had just taken some prototypes and recruited nearly 100 Soviet scientists, accepted more than 40 Chinese scientific researchers, arranged the laboratory, and received Xiao Qiang's instructions: to improve the original Scud missile without major changes.
The directive also emphasized one thing: try to focus on Soviet scientists and supplement Chinese scientists, so that technology improvements can be more in line with the characteristics of Soviet weapons.
Jankovic knew very well that this was a trick made by Xiao Qiang, trying to confuse the public and make people unable to find an improved development method.
However, they all felt a little headache when facing this instruction.
The Scud missile is actually an old-fashioned surface-to-surface missile that Iraq learned from the Soviet Union.
It adopts the positioning method of inertial guidance.
In other words, during the flight stage, the missile changes the missile's air flight attitude in a mechanical manner according to the positioning platform and the spatial positioning instructions of the gyroscope to hit the target.
This mechanical inertial positioning method has a very low hit rate.
Take the Scud missile as an example. Its claimed hit rate can reach a circumference of 600 meters. However, in actual use, the ground error is usually within a circumference range of one kilometer to 105 kilometers.
During the eight-year-long Iran-Iran War, Iraq and Iran used this rough surface-to-surface missile to launch towards each other's big cities. They didn't care about accuracy at all, just landed in the city. Iraq relied on the technical support of the United States and the Soviet Union, and its missile technology was slightly more advanced, and it launched hundreds of Scuds successively. It created conditions for the subsequent Iran-Iran peace talks.
It is not easy to improve the guidance system of such an original missile.
Sino-Soviet researchers, holding the ground design of this missile, shook their heads repeatedly. The research meeting lasted for a long time before initially determining such a solution:
First, purchase processing chips from the European and American markets and receive positioning data obtained by computers from inertial measurement instruments. Adopt a more accurate and faster positioning method to improve the accuracy of the missile;
Second, improve the missile's tail servo system and use the original mechanical transmission mechanism. Advanced telex mechanism.
Both of these improvement solutions can use the current mature guidance technology
] is the only solution to the missile's major operation.
However, after this improvement, although the missile can achieve better accuracy than before by computer control and adjusting its attitude at the end of the flight, the missile itself has too poor performance. In an ideal state, the missile can only increase the missile's hit accuracy to within a circumference of 300 meters. As for whether such an effect can be achieved in actual combat, it is still hard to say.
When Jankovic and his team made progress in their research and made physical land, they received an order from Xiao Qiang to send the things to Egypt.
At this time, they were already very clear about what Xiao Qiang wanted to do.
A scud cannot save Saddam's fate of failure, but it can make the US military shed more blood!
On February 27, Saddam prayed devoutly in the halal room of his palace. In Iraq, Saddam had many secret strongholds. Sometimes, in the middle of the night, he would take his family and suddenly move the command system. These were his only way to fight against the US air strikes.
Each secret stronghold has a steel and concrete wall that is as thick as two meters.
After the war started a little more than a week, Saddam's cheeks were a little sunken. His beard was still so neatly combed, his hair was not messy, his military appearance was neat every day, his eyes were still so firm, and his voice was still so loud.
However, he prayed more and more frequently, and he also appeared in front of the soldiers.
He had no doubt that when the US military launched a ground attack, the soldiers who had passed the test of the Eight Years of Iran and Iran would definitely be able to deal a heavy blow to the other side and would make the US military blood flow.
However, the opponent has been slow to launch a ground attack.
The cowardly American dared not confront his elite Republic Guard head-on, but kept bombing on his head day and night.
Battleships, cruisers, f117, b52, f15 cyclones..., missiles of multinational forces and laser-guided bombs, like no money, fall on his army like raindrops every day.
Although he has a million troops, he has no use.
Saddam regretted it. If he had known that the Americans were determined to take action, he should have rushed through the desert between Isha and fought to the death with the other side when there were only tens of thousands of American troops.
However, now, the Iraqi army, which has missed the best opportunity, faced hundreds of thousands of solemn multinational troops, faced with the bombardment of thousands of aircraft and missiles from the other side, and would have to rush through dozens of kilometers of desert areas, which would be a death sentence. He knew very well in his heart, and he had never dared to act rashly and could only be beaten passively.
The MiG fighter jet he had high hopes for really hurt him.
Saddam once thought that even if the MiG fighter jets he bought were unable to compete with the US military in a comprehensive manner, they could at least maintain the security of airspace.
But who had expected that this damn Soviet fighter jet was a parallel product!
On the contrary, the Su 27 that he had not noticed before, he should spend a lot of money to buy dozens or hundreds of Su 27s and 29s!
At this time, he didn't consider the selling price at all.
What is money? When even your life is likely to be unable to be saved, do you still care about money?
Even if you spend all the money, as long as you can get into a stalemate with the US military and slowly drag it down, in the United States, you will definitely not be able to hold on in the face of heavy casualties, which will win a glimmer of hope.
As long as you save your life, you will still have great power and have underground oil. It is only a matter of time before you can revive it!
The only thing that made him feel relieved was the Scud missile.
This old-fashioned missile actually blooms in old trees and can still play a role, allowing 80% of the aircraft of many countries to search for traces of the Scud, greatly alleviating his heavy pressure.
Unfortunately, the hit rate of this kind of missile is too low, and it can only intimidate and cannot achieve the goal of truly killing a large number of living forces in the enemy.
Otherwise, he would fight back with a large number of scues, which would surely make the Americans bleed and have to admit failure.
Alas. The Soviets were really useless!
The United States just scared them and they retreated. Let alone purchase weapons now. Even the Soviet embassy evacuated Baghdad quickly.
These Russians smile so brightly when they collect money. When they need their help, they pretend not to know each other!
Just as Saddam was complaining, gritting his teeth, and showing his determination, a guard ran in happily: "President, Your Excellency the President, the Russians... No, the Soviets are back!"
"What? How many people are there, where are they now?" Saddam forgot about it. He was just cursing the Soviets for being unfaithful. He got up from the ground and excitedly grabbed the guard.
Great, with the help of the Soviets, I can save it!
How many people are you going to send, 100,000, 200,000? Even if you plan to send a million Red Army soldiers, I will support you with both hands!
The guard was startled and said hesitantly: "There are only ten people, they seem to have sneaked in, wearing Arabic clothes, driving a large truck with several large wooden boxes inside."
There are only a few people? Is it planned to secretly provide arms support to me?
Saddam smashed his mouth.
This is not the best result, but it is barely acceptable. At least, the weapons he was bombed by the US military can be replenished. This can ensure that his ground radar station can be repaired as soon as possible.
"Hurry, invite them here quickly, I want to meet you in person." At this time, Saddam was unwilling to miss it as long as he had a little hope.
More than half an hour later, a group of Soviets, surrounded by several Iraqi generals, walked in.
It was indeed Soviets, and Saddam came to the conclusion from their accent and appearance. Moreover, the person in charge seemed to be a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it. He had seen him somewhere...
To be continued...
