Dominate South Asia

The night sky of Baghdad was completely silent. After learning about the US statement, Saddam disappeared from a certain residence. After years of running Iraq, Saddam had already made countless hiding places.

If the first bombing of the F-117 could kill Saddam, and then Iraq would be in chaos, and the Army would take the opportunity to retake Kuwait, such a smooth process would probably be something that Lieutenant General Charles, the commander of the Air Force, had never dreamed of.

The main task 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 researching and developing nuclear and chemical weapons, and reinforced aircraft shelters at Iraqi airports. For example, Williams, who is now flying, has the task of dropping the 908 kg laser-guided GBU-27 "Paveway III" bomb in the bomb bay on the roof of the Telecommunications and Telegraph Building in the center of Baghdad, and must not harm the hospital next to it, which is almost separated by a wall, otherwise tomorrow, the Iraqis will definitely tell the world about the atrocities of the United States.

At this time, the land below was still quiet. Although the United States had announced the start of the attack, Iraq's air defense forces were also on high alert. Unfortunately, the F-117 attack aircraft with outstanding stealth capabilities would never be discovered by Iraq's simple air defense radar.

Only the dashboard in the cabin was dimly lit. Major Williams looked at the target data tied to his knees and compared it with the data on the navigation screen for the last time to determine the attack route.

There was no blackout in Baghdad. It seemed that they did not realize that the first bomb would be played over Baghdad, even though the Iran-Iraq War had lasted for ten years. Iranian bombers rarely flew over Baghdad.

This ancient city with 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 a laser beam invisible to the naked eye was emitted from under the belly of the aircraft. This clear night was just right to give the most accurate guidance signal to the laser-guided bombs of our side!

The laser beam hit the top of the target, and on the display in the cockpit, the crosshairs pressed on the top of the building. Williams pressed the button.

There was a thump under the fuselage, and the door of the bomb bay opened. This moment would destroy the stealth capability of the F-117, but it was only for this short second.

Nearly a ton of laser-guided bombs were thrown from the belly of the aircraft, and the front seeker closely tracked the laser beam and moved towards the target.

Laser-guided bombs have a very high accuracy. If the laser indicator is held by the people on the ground to indicate the target. Then the fighter can leave as long as it drops the bomb.

And now, the laser beam is also emitted by the fighter. So it is necessary to wait until the bomb hits the target before leaving.

These few seconds are very short and very long.

The GBU-27 bomb fell from the sky and hit the top of the target accurately. The huge kinetic energy allowed it to smash the roof effortlessly. It fell to the floor of the top floor and smashed the floor of the top floor. The huge impact made the whole building shake.

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

This kind of bomb is specially used to deal with reinforced targets. For example, the reinforced hangar at the airport can be destroyed by one bomb. Now it is quite easy to deal with a building.

The violent explosion woke up the people of Baghdad. The air strikes of the multinational forces have finally begun!

Countless anti-aircraft guns. They began to shoot aimlessly at the sky, and searchlights continued to shoot beams of light, trying to find the planes in the sky. Unfortunately, this is no longer the World War II era!

From the sky, there are straight lines drawn by tracer bullets below, and the surrounding is the black smoke produced by the explosion of high-explosive bombs. It seems terrible, but the F-117 continues to travel through these bright lines to find the next target to bomb.

Each F-117 can carry two GBU-27 bombs to attack two targets.

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

The United States deployed thousands of aircraft for the first night of air strikes, including two electronic jammers, the F-4G "Wild Weasel" and the EA-6B "Prowler", to interfere with Iraq's military radar and communications; F-117A, F-15E, A-6 attack aircraft, F-111, B-52 bombers, etc. were all on the scene. At the same time, the navy's warships also launched a large number of Tomahawk cruise missiles, and battleships also launched artillery attacks.

If you don't move, it's fine. If you move, it's earth-shattering!

The air defense firepower network, airports, "Scud" missiles, nuclear plants and chemical weapons production plants, military command agencies and control centers in Iraq are all the main targets of this bombing.

In addition to the United States, other countries in the multinational force also participated in the operation. Among them, the United Kingdom was the most active, dispatching Tornado attack aircraft to participate in the attack, while another major participating country, Pakistan, provided a wing of F-14 fighter jets to provide air cover.

Participate in ground attacks? Such actions are too dangerous. Although Pakistan nominally obeyed the US deployment, especially the orders of General Norman Schwarzkopf, the commander-in-chief of the US Gulf Forces, Pakistan ignored the attack plan proposed by the headquarters on the grounds that it did not have precision-guided weapons. So General Schwarzkopf had to accept Pakistan's mission of air cover.

The airstrike went smoothly. In the evening, the White House held a press conference. Bush Sr. spoke with a red face, claiming that Iraq had suffered a heavy blow.

In response, Saddam also gave a speech in a secret place.

"The hypocritical and sinful Bush colluded with the rebels of the Holy Land to carry out an inhumane massacre and owed a blood debt to the Iraqi people! We Iraq will never compromise. This is a new colonial war of the West against us! Now, the great jihad has begun! We must double our efforts to fight back against the enemy and make brave sacrifices to defend our motherland and our revolutionary cause! We Iraq will use all means to strike our enemies!"

As Saddam was speaking, Iraq's Scud missile troops were maneuvering rapidly in the southern desert of Iraq.

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

Iraq launched a large number of Scud missiles during the Iran-Iraq War. Now, Iraq's missile troops are once again demonstrating their military power!

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

The first enemy is Saudi Arabia! As 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 target Iraq wanted to retaliate against was Saudi Arabia!

The second target was Israel. Iraq's territory was closer to Israel, and it was easy to launch missiles to Israel's territory. At this time, Saddam would never be stingy about dragging Israel into the war.

The four-axle 9P117 Scud launcher was moving in the desert, and before dawn, it arrived at a predetermined launch site.

They had seen the battle that broke out in the air. So many fighter planes attacked Iraq! The Americans tried to use air strikes to force Iraq to surrender, and Iraq had to use the sword in its hand to defend its territory!

Several soldiers jumped off the car, dressed neatly, and covered their heads with gas masks, which looked a bit scary.

These liquid missiles must be refueled before they are launched.

Dragging the thick pipes, the soldiers quickly ran to the refueling port and operated skillfully. In the roar of the motor, unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine and red smoke nitric acid were added to the missiles.

It took more than ten minutes to refuel, and then the missile began to slowly stand up. Inside the launch vehicle, Iraqi soldiers were still nervously preparing various launch data for the missile.

Target, US military base in Saudi Arabia!

A few minutes later, everything was ready, and the east was slowly turning white.

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

Dragging a tongue of fire, the missile began to fly upward, and the white smoke enveloped the entire launch site.

"Move position!" Amid the tongues of fire, the Scud missile completed a wave of launches. Just after the missile was launched, the commander of the missile company immediately ordered a move.

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

The Scud missile continued to fly, and before it broke out of the atmosphere, it was discovered by the DSP missile early warning satellite in space.

Originally, as part of the Star Wars, the United States developed a large number of early warning satellites. Now, although the Star Wars program has been abandoned, many of the achievements have been transformed into real equipment. The high investment of the United States in the Star Wars program has also paid off.

Iraq launched a missile!

The DSP missile early warning satellite uses a highly sensitive infrared telescope to track the flames of the Scud missile, and continuously transmits the missile's flight trajectory and flight speed, direction, ballistic inclination and position to the ground station. The US Space Command Base in Australia and the US Aerospace Command in the mainland simultaneously received the Scud missile ballistic parameters sent by the DSP missile early warning satellite. After rapid ground station calculations, the flight trajectory and impact point of the Scud missile were quickly sent to Saudi Arabia. (To be continued ~^~)
