Dominate South Asia

"We need you to export Patriot missiles to us immediately." Hamad said to Thomas: "Only Patriot missiles can intercept tactical surface-to-surface missiles."

The Patriot missile made its name in the later Gulf War. No matter what the American propaganda was later considered to be watery, it was still an effective means of confrontation in the face of the Scud missile.

The development of this weapon system can be traced back twenty years ago. At that time, in order to adapt to the increasingly complex combat environment and emerging air threats, the United States needed new missiles with excellent air defense capabilities and certain anti-ballistic missile capabilities. Replaces the old Nike 2 and Hawker air defense missile systems. In 1967, the U.S. military selected Raytheon as the main contractor, and in 1972 it officially entered the engineering development stage. After more than ten years of development, this missile finally matured. In October 1980, the U.S. Army and Raytheon Company formally signed a production contract for the "Patriot" missile. In 1984, the first set of "Patriot" missiles was officially delivered to the U.S. Army. In 1985, this year, mass production began, and it was first equipped with U.S. Army troops in Germany.

This is the most advanced surface-to-air missile currently in service in the United States. Hamad opened his mouth to ask for this thing. Thomas and Arnold looked at each other and smiled helplessly: "Sorry, Mr. President, we cannot export this kind of missile. "

"Then you just watch our air force base being bombed? When our air force loses its combat capability, northern Afghanistan will return to the hands of the Soviets again." Mhamad said coldly: " We must have this kind of anti-aircraft missile, we have no choice. If you are worried about being too advanced, you can send operators to our base to help us with field air defense.”

"Okay, we will ask the country for instructions immediately on this matter," Arnold said.

It was already dark, and the cold wind from the northwest was blowing across the entire plateau with strong winds.

Peshawar Air Force Base.

In addition to the two fighter planes on duty, loaded with missiles and refueled, they were waiting on the runway. The rest of the fighters were dragged into the hangar.

Due to years of fighting with the Indian Air Force, the Pakistan Air Force bases are very strong and have three main runways. Even if one or even two are destroyed by bombing, they can still continue to dispatch, and there are hangar bunkers. It can also withstand bomb attacks, except for nuclear bombs and ground-penetrating bombs, and is a strong bunker. Can withstand various attacks.

The air search radar has been scanning the surrounding sky to defend against Soviet sneak attacks.

An E-2 early warning aircraft is also flying in central Pakistan. The E-3 early warning aircraft is exhausted during the day. Therefore, in addition to continuing to command large-scale battles, the E-2 is responsible for patrol tasks.

Will the Soviets launch a missile attack? Ballistic missiles are weapons of attack!

It is precisely the advantages of knowing ballistic missiles. Pakistan just introduced the Dongfeng-3, and then started its own ballistic missile development based on the Dongfeng-3.

However, this is a long road, and now, the Dongfeng-3 that Pakistan possesses must not be taken out, otherwise. It was strangled in the cradle by the United States. Even if it is an ally of the United States, the United States does not want Pakistan to have such a thing.

Therefore, for Pakistan now, it is facing ballistic missiles. All that's left is defense. Just like Israel, which had a strong air force in the Gulf War. Facing the Scuds fired from Iraq, the only way to intercept the Scuds was to intercept them, but could not take the initiative to attack.

Tajikistan, Southeast.

This place also belongs to the Pamir Plateau, with many mountains, which is not conducive to the movement of mechanized troops. This is also the reason why the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan and entered from Turkmenistan. Turkmenistan is mainly a desert, and here, there are mountains everywhere.

The cold wind was blowing in the mountain pass, and a motorcade was driving in the mountainous area.

With four-axle all-wheel drive and eight huge off-road tires, the entire vehicle shows the unique rugged style of the Soviet Union. Many times, what they take is not considered a road, there is no road at all.

On the corner of the door, there are the words 9P71 printed on it. This is an integrated vehicle for transporting, erecting and launching Oka missiles!

The 400-horsepower diesel engine continued to emit black smoke, driving the truck on the hillside. Finally, the engine roared and rushed up a hillside to a flat land.

This is their launch site!

The vehicles stopped one after another, and Soviet soldiers walked out of them. The breath they exhaled turned white. It is very cold here!

Stand up!

The four hydraulic legs of the launch vehicle slowly rose, and the entire launch vehicle's tires were lifted off the ground. At the rear, a large hydraulic cylinder transformed a missile from a horizontal state to a vertical state.

If it is a Scud missile, then you have to follow the support vehicle of the brigade. Those wearing gas masks begin to drag the tubes and refuel the missile.

Now, this kind of missile is a solid missile, and the fuel has been filled when it leaves the factory. Now, what they have to do is to erect it and then set the target before launch!

Launching the Scud requires half an hour of preparation time, while launching the Oka only takes five minutes. If the coordinates of the launch site have been measured in advance, this time can be shortened to three minutes.

"Launch!" With the command, the rocket engine ignited, and the entire launch site was filled with thick smoke. In the thick smoke, missiles flew into the sky one by one.

It was night now, and the tail was dragging air. From a distance, it was a spectacular sight. This sight only appeared in later generations when missiles were destroyed according to the Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missile Treaty between the United States and the Soviet Union.

The Oka missile flew into the sky. This was the first wonderful moment in its life, and also the last time.

After the missile was fired, the launch vehicle immediately began to move.

The four legs rose, and with the rumbling sound of the engine, the launch vehicle left the original position and maneuvered quickly.

It was as if they had never existed. Only the five missiles that were launched, the five missiles flying into the sky, announced the anger of the Soviets.

Ballistic missiles are launched vertically, so that they can quickly pass through the dense atmosphere and reach the maximum speed. The rocket engine is only ignited for a short period of time, and most of them are unpowered and fly according to the preset trajectory, so they are called ballistic missiles.

When it started to ignite, it was instantly discovered by a reconnaissance satellite in space.

In order to drag down the Soviet economy, President Reagan planned the Star Wars plan and let the Soviets use all their financial resources on the military. Star Wars was a conspiracy.

Of course, there are some achievements, such as this ballistic missile early warning satellite, which can detect infrared early warning satellites when ballistic missiles are launched. The United States was developing it before the Star Wars plan was proposed.

After the discovery, the satellite issued an alarm, which was transmitted to the United States through synchronous communication satellites. After ground calculation, it was found that the target of this batch of ballistic missiles was Pakistan!

A sharp alarm sounded at the Peshawar Air Force Base. The pilots rushed out of the duty room and boarded two Tomcat fighters on combat readiness duty. Soon, the fighters left the runway and flew into the sky.

The E-2 early warning aircraft also discovered the batch of incoming missiles, a total of five, which were almost directly above the Peshawar Air Force Base.

At an angle of nearly 90 degrees and a speed of 10 Mach, even in the eyes of the E-2 early warning aircraft, it was like a storm.

The two Tomcat fighters took off, raised their noses, and the radar operators behind them quickly operated the radar, hoping to use their own airborne radar to lock a warhead and then launch the Phoenix missiles they carried.

However, the opponent's speed was too fast. The computer of the carrier's fire control radar kept updating the opponent's information, but could not calculate enough interception information to lock.

The distance was getting closer and closer.

What to do?

Rush up and collide with the opponent! In short, we can't let it bomb our own air base!

Pakistani pilot Majib's eyes were filled with fighting anger, and he operated the fighter plane and continued to go up to collide with the opponent.

When flying down at a speed of 10 Mach, the missile warhead was like a meteor.

Hit it, hit it!

The Tomcat fighter bravely went up and flew bravely in the direction of the meteor.

"Come on, Soviets!" The pilot pressed the button on the joystick, the machine gun hummed, and the metal flowed towards the flying meteor.

It was impossible to hit a flying object at Mach 10 with a machine gun. Even if the pilot was flying the fighter plane himself, the reaction speed was still not fast enough.

The hot warhead rubbed the side of the Tomcat fighter and flew past.

"Damn it!" Majib cursed, watching the warhead fly by, furious.

This batch of missiles all used 9N74K cluster submunitions, with a combat length of 2.75 meters, a diameter of 0.8 meters, and a weight of 715kg. It had 95 3.84 kg 9N225 high-explosive submunitions built in, which could destroy unprotected targets within a radius of 3,000 meters after being spread.

When the warhead exploded over the base, the submunitions scattered, and there was a sea of ​​fire everywhere around.

If there were any fighter planes exposed at this time, they would be hit. But now, since the Soviets' movements had been predicted long ago, the fighter planes entered the bunkers. Therefore, this attack, in addition to destroying the airport, did not cause any other damage. All personnel also entered the air defense bunkers.

Anti-aircraft guns opened fire, but unfortunately, facing ballistic missiles, they had no effect.

"The Soviet missiles flew from the mountains of Tajikistan, 400 kilometers away!" Majib said to the early warning aircraft on the radio: "Request to fly to the mountains of Tajikistan immediately and destroy their missile launchers!" (To be continued ~^~)
