Dominate South Asia

From the beginning of the war to now, Iraq's main air defense network and radar communication system have been severely damaged by air strikes.

But after all, the Iraqi army has gone through the test of the ten-year war between Iran and Iraq. After enduring the initial difficulties and discomfort, it has gradually recovered. The expert group brought by Shostakovich also helped the Iraqi army summarize a set of effective methods to deal with missile attacks by multinational forces.

The basis of cruise missiles is inertial navigation. By determining the initial launch position and the state of motion, the inertial navigation device can accurately know its position. However, this navigation method will have the cumulative error of the inertial gyroscope. The longer the time, the greater the error, especially for air-launched cruise missiles. The gyroscope starts working before takeoff, and the error is higher. Therefore, other methods must be added, mainly terrain matching, that is, in the cruise phase, according to some major terrain reference objects, determine the flight route and finally attack the target.

However, most of the Middle East is desert, and there is no clear positioning target at all. It is very difficult to match the navigation terrain of cruise missiles. The US military uses the existing Iraqi villages as terrain matching reference objects for missile guidance. The Iraqi army's forward observation posts have also repeatedly discovered that over some villages, a large number of cruise missiles regularly fly over them at a low altitude of fifty meters.

At the same time, the most important thing is to use a crystallization of the American Star Wars, that is, the GPS system! The military signal of this system can give the missile an attack accuracy of 0.1 meters! Even if the United States uses villages for navigation, it is not accurate. Only the GPS system can make cruise missiles hit wherever they point!

Therefore, if the GPS signals and communication channels on the cruise missiles can be effectively shielded, these missiles can be effectively dealt with.

And this is exactly the function of the jammer. Shostakovich smuggled thousands of jammers into Iraq!

After Shostakovich's explanation, Saddam also understood the value of this batch of jammers. These things are large in number, powerful in power, and small in size. They are used to arrange the main routes of the US cruise missiles and assist the anti-aircraft artillery units in combat, which is very effective.

The opinions of the "Soviet Military Advisory Group" made Saddam know that the high-tech weapons of the US military also have ways to deal with them.

He immediately ordered the use of wired telephones to rebuild the command system of the Iraqi army according to Shostakovich's suggestion. At the same time, jammers were deployed at the main nodes where cruise missiles passed to block the US military's control over missiles. This forced the opponent to adopt a fixed route and cruise flight. This created conditions for the anti-aircraft artillery troops to wait and see.

In addition, the Iraqi army readjusted the air defense forces and deployed them in layers along the routes where cruise missiles might pass. In particular, the anti-aircraft artillery troops were concentrated behind the main reference points of the missiles. Whenever a cruise missile flew over, they would concentrate their firepower and fire. Use barrages to concentrate on destroying the opponent's missiles.

With the assistance of the front-line early warning, in just a few days, the damage caused by US cruise missiles to key Iraqi targets was reduced to a tolerable level.

The US military also discovered the failure of the old attack mode. They attempted to change the flight control of the missiles and adopt the intermediary control of the E3 airborne early warning aircraft. They used multi-line attacks to avoid interception by the Iraqi army. However, faced with a large number of jammers that win by numbers, the cruise missiles were subjected to strong signal interference as soon as they entered Iraq, unable to receive air commands and could only fly rigidly along the scheduled routes.

The US military's front-line commander has already responded to the White House, suspecting that there are major powers behind the Iraqi army, hoping to cut off Iraq's foreign aid through diplomatic and intelligence means. But at present, there is only the effort to find other ways to crack the Iraqi army's new tactics.

Although GPS jammers and anti-aircraft guns can destroy low-flying fixed-line cruise missiles, it is impossible to destroy high-altitude bombing. The US military stepped up its bombing of the Iraqi military's command center, communication center, and air defense positions, and the opportunities for laser bombs and air-to-ground missiles to perform became more frequent.

But the Iraqi army was also desperately repairing various facilities.

Often after the US military bombed during the day, the Iraqi army partially restored some of the functions of these facilities under the cover of darkness, leaving the multinational forces facing "fighting like rats in a wretched and tenacious manner" (the words of General Schwarzkopf, commander of the multinational forces) and could only bomb repeatedly.

The war situation fell into a stalemate at this time.

The multinational forces consumed a large number of cruise missiles, laser bombs and other weapons and ammunition, while Iraq suffered a large number of casualties and destroyed facilities.

Saddam now has full confidence in the "Soviet Military Advisory Group" headed by Shostakovich. As soon as Shostakovich came, he equipped his Scud with a more advanced guidance system. The Americans suffered a great loss in Dhahran. When the news that nearly a thousand American soldiers were killed spread in Iraq, it was really a national celebration. The Iraqi army was also in high spirits, and it added a few more confidence to resist the attack of the US military.

And this time, the GPS jammer and anti-aircraft artillery units were used to cooperate. It greatly reduced the heavy pressure on the Iraqi army.

Now the Iraqi army no longer has the scene of panic at the beginning of the war.

With Saddam's continuous appearance on the front line, giving the soldiers courage, and after several tactical victories, the front-line soldiers have begun to talk and laugh after adapting to the atmosphere of the battlefield, and their morale has begun to recover.

He agreed deeply with Shostakovich's suggestion that he should hide those advanced weapons first and not expose them to the US military so as to deal a heavy blow to the enemy at the critical moment.

Shostakovich explained that although the Soviet Union could support him with some advanced weapons, it would not be possible to stand on his side openly.

How to use the existing equipment to inflict heavy damage on the enemy is the focus of the next consideration.

Therefore, although the radar stations were gradually recovering their functions, the communication cables were being laid quickly, and the Iraqi army's ability to resist attacks was gradually increasing, Saddam did not take any action.

The reason why he was able to keep his composure was because Shostakovich had formulated an extremely bold offensive plan for him.

Shostakovich was a little confused about Muhammad.

The instructions he had received all along came from emails.

In the previous mission, Shostakovich went to a valley on the border between Iraq and Syria, hid a large amount of weapons and equipment there, and then delivered them to Iraq.

During the Gulf War, Iraq was subject to an international embargo, and Syria sent several armored divisions to participate in the multinational force. However, the Syrian Baath Party, which is a descendant of the Iraqi Baath Party, hates Saddam's regime, but hates and even hates the United States. In the Lebanese crisis of 1984-85, the Syrians had already learned about the United States' bad behavior of taking sides with Israel. Even the Syrian air defense forces had a fierce exchange of fire with the US Navy Air Force, shooting down and damaging many US aircraft, and their own air defense missile positions were destroyed, killing and injuring many people. The Syrians have never forgotten these things!

Syria is highly vigilant about the United States' full entry into the Middle East with the help of the Gulf War. Therefore, like Jordan, which has been silently supporting Iraq, Syria has also closed the border between the two countries on the surface and even participated in the multinational force. However, in secret, there are still a lot of supplies that continue to flow into Iraq through the checkpoints of the two countries.

As one of the few allies of the Soviet Union in the Middle East, the Soviet Union's influence on this country is also all-round. When Shostakovich used the Soviet Union's tiger skin to smuggle a large amount of arms and supplies into Syria, he really frightened the Assad government. Of course, in exchange for money and sharing the advanced Soviet-made weapons and equipment that passed through the border, the Syrians were willing to be blind. Just pretend that they saw nothing and knew nothing.

This batch of supplies included a large number of various new Soviet weapons. For more than 20 days, the Iraqi side used the cover of darkness to use the Republican Guard to transport a large number of containers from the border, and then used a convoy to quietly disperse to various hidden points in the country. From that moment on, the Iraqis completely believed that Shostakovich and his group were secret Soviet military aid personnel. After providing intelligence on the US military's Dhahran base and the Iraqi army using 5 Scud and Hussein missiles to severely damage the base, Saddam trusted Shostakovich and his group even more and listened to their words.

"Could it be that the time Muhammad mentioned has come now!"

At this time, Shostakovich had just received a CD from a contact arranged by Omar, and couldn't help but sigh.

He returned to the luxurious room of the Sheraton Hotel where he lived, turned on the computer, inserted the CD into an encrypted document, entered the password, and was stunned after reading a small part.

This time, he really wanted to play big and ruthless. If he really caused heavy losses to the US military and the United States as planned, the Bush administration would go into a violent state directly, and might even throw nuclear weapons at Iraq. Does Saddam have such courage to carry out such a seemingly crazy plan?

At the end of the document, there are some secret instructions.

He silently memorized the contents inside, and then used a lighter to ignite and melt the CD.

Now his life no longer belongs to him. He has already dedicated enough loyalty to that country in Afghanistan. Although he no longer belongs to the soldiers under the red flag, his warrior blood is still surging.

Although the Soviet Union was in a state of deep trouble and the United States was so aggressive, if Muhammad's plan really succeeded, perhaps the external environment of the Soviet Union would improve.

Since he had no choice, the chess piece should also have the awareness of a chess piece. If he had the value to be used, it would prove that he would not be abandoned for the time being. Then he just had to complete his task and didn't have to think about anything else. He hoped that Muhammad's promise to him would not be untrustworthy and cheap. He had been betrayed before, and it was enough once!

After Shostakovich figured out his current situation, he immediately found Saddam through his attendants and prepared to personally dictate the plan. (To be continued ~^~)
