Babylonian Empire

"Attention, the opponent has launched a missile, get rid of it immediately." The sound of an early warning machine came from the earphone.

Hearing the voice in the earphone, Anders knew that it was time to test them.

According to their tactics, the best is mid-range air combat. If the mid-range air combat does not kill the opponent, then turn around and return to the territory of the Sinai Peninsula. You can fire a medium-range bomb again to kill the opponent.

Taking advantage of their own active medium-range ammunition to avoid close combat with the opponent is the best tactic. However, their task this time is to defend the sky in the Gaza area. Gaza is rampant!

Israel is most proud of their air force. The last time it was a surprise attack that destroyed the capabilities of their air force. They are still not convinced, but this time, they will completely attack Israel in a regular battle. The self-confidence of the Air Force!

The missiles fired by each side are flying towards each other, and at the same time, they are also trying to get rid of the missiles flying by the other side. Because it is three against two, one Mirage 4000 is lucky that no missiles are flying towards him.

The Phantom 4000 is struggling to climb upwards. Compared with short-range missiles, it is more maneuverable, basically courting death. However, there is another advantage, that is, compared with power!

The missiles all use solid rocket motors. Generally speaking, the motors will burn completely within a few seconds, and the rest is to rely on inertial unpowered flight.

Although the snake-4 uses a two-stage rocket engine, its burning time is only 5 to 7 seconds.

After the Phantom 4000 first launched the missile, it immediately turned on the afterburner to climb, and the initial flight altitude of the F-15 was not as high as the Phantom 4000, which led to a result: after the Snake missile was launched, it had to fly upwards !If you want to fly upwards, you have to consume precious speed!

Moreover, since the Phantom 4000 is still climbing up, if the snake missile wants to hit the opponent, it has to climb up!

The Snake-4 missile, which adopts a complex duck-style aerodynamic layout, has a larger diameter than the original Snake-3, so the resistance is already high. It only achieved a greater range with the help of a new type of engine, but now , it has to face a reality: it has to fly to heaven!

The dual-engine heavy-duty air superiority fighter has such an advantage: it can climb upwards effortlessly. The climb rate of the Mirage 4000 is more than 300 meters per second. It keeps climbing upwards. In a second, it has climbed more than 6000 meters upward and entered an altitude of 1 meters.

Although the Snake-4 missile was designed to be used at an altitude of 40 meters, it has already consumed precious energy during the climb. Due to the decrease in speed, the control torque of the rudder surface is extremely high. Greatly reduced, the maneuverability is far from reaching the designed overload of [-]G or more.

The data from the early warning machine was constantly coming in, and Anders knew that the distance between the opponent and him was constantly approaching. When he was close to 500 meters, he pulled the lever and pedaled the rudder, and at the same time turned right, downward dive.

The seeker of the Snake-4 kept up with Anders' fighter plane, but its rudder effect could not keep up with Anders' movements, and the seeker could only watch the target disappear into its field of view Here, the target can no longer be found.

Strange Snake-4 missed the target, and it was missed by the opponent in such a despicable way.

If the distance between the two sides is even closer, for example, if the missile is launched at a distance of five kilometers, then Anders's action will be completely meaningless. However, the Iraqi fighter plane has already launched a medium-range After the bombs shot down their two planes and fired the short-range missiles first, if they didn't launch the short-range missiles in time, they would only be beaten all the time and could not fight back.

Even if it is the MiG-21, when it is equipped with high-performance combat ammunition, it is terrible to engage in close-range air combat with it. The new air-to-air missiles will make close-range combat very dangerous.

This is also the case of the later fighters, most of which are equipped with medium-range missiles, and only two short-range missiles are mounted for combat, because close-range combat is what they try to avoid, and they still launch medium-range missiles from a distance. Play the best.

At this time, the two sides have not yet engaged in a dazzling aerial combat, but the result of the battle has already come out.

Of the two remaining F-15s, one was shot down and the other was damaged, while the Iraqi side managed to evade their missiles.

It's not that Ramones and Bill aren't good enough, it's that two fists can't beat four hands. Ramones was attacked by two missiles. He managed to evade one missile, while the other hit his engine. However, relying on his excellent airframe, he barely operated his own plane and flew away from Gaza.

The other Bill was very unlucky, he didn't escape the missile, and the missile exploded very accurately near his cockpit, and he didn't even have a chance to parachute.

The logic part of the R-73 missile allows it to strike important parts of the target, such as the engine, such as the cockpit.

The Iraqi Air Force performed very well. In the confrontation where both sides were under the command of the early warning plane, the two sides formed a formation of four planes, shot down four of the opponent's planes, injured one plane, and only one of their own was injured.

The myth of the Eagle of David has finally been broken!

After killing the four Israeli fighter jets, they began to deal with the invading several Israeli armed helicopters.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"We must act immediately to help Israel enter and retake the Gaza Strip." Cheney's words echoed in the small conference room.

The invasion of Iraq, the sudden dispatch of troops, and the occupation of the entire Gaza Strip are absolutely intolerable to Cheney.

Just as wars were raging on one end of the earth, on the other end, high-level US officials also began to respond urgently.

"However, Iraq did not declare war on Israel. Their reason was to maintain peace. Moreover, they did not invade areas outside Gaza, nor did they attack Israeli civilians." Secretary of State James said: "According to the original UN resolution, there It was originally Palestinian territory."

James didn't mean to favor Iraq in the slightest, he was just talking about the current situation.

"We stationed troops at the beginning, wasn't it to maintain the order in Israel and the Middle East? Now that the Arabs have broken the status quo, we have to let them know that this situation is absolutely intolerable to us in the United States!" Cheney Said.

"If we want to go to war, how many troops can we put in now? How high is our hope of victory?" Bush asked, and when he mentioned the war, he became interested.

The current election situation is not optimistic for him. If he wins a beautiful battle, he can win some political capital, which may be beneficial to the election. Otherwise, the White House may be given up to the whole Yao yelled for peace, a guy who only knows how to play the saxophone.

"We have four squadrons of F-15 fighters, one squadron of F-15E Strike Eagles, and two squadrons of F-16 fighters at Uvda Air Force Base in Israel. These fighters, if deployed, can fully afford Starting the task of seizing air supremacy with Iraq, at the Yotwata Army Base, the two armored brigades of the [-]st Armored Division of the Seventh Army have arrived at the Yotwata Army Base at this time, which is less than [-] meters away from Gaza. If we attack at full speed, we can take Gaza back before sunset." Cheney said with confidence.

At this time, the Soviet Union was already weakened, and it would be a great irony if the United States could not do so by using its powerful military force against the Soviet Union to ravage a weak Iraq.Cheney was very confident about the combat effectiveness of the US military, especially with his foresight, the troops of the Seventh Army arrived. Although there were only two armored brigades, their combat effectiveness was definitely stronger than that of the Israeli armored brigades.

If it weren't for those stupid guys, the entire Seventh Army would have arrived in Israel now. The two armored brigades now have almost the same task of retaking Gaza. If the problem of the surrounding Arabs is completely solved, it will not be enough.

Two hundred kilometers?Hearing Cheney's words, Bush asked: "Do we have enough fuel in there? Can we afford to consume it?"

Hearing Bush's question, Cheney was at a loss for words. After all, he was still an amateur. He could say a lot about strategy, but when it came to specific tactics, he really didn't have much insight.

In this regard, Bush is better than him.

Fuel!You know, the main force of the First Armored Division is the M1A1 main battle tank, which uses a gas turbine. This kind of engine gives it unrivaled power. Fast, fast acceleration, less parts, but its shortcomings are inevitable, that is, oil tiger!

Normally, after driving for three hours, fuel needs to be refilled once. This kind of tank requires strong logistical support.

The main battle tanks of the United States have just been transported there. Does that base have so many fuel supplies?It was originally a desert area, not even rich in water resources.

"It's not just a fuel problem." General Powell next to him said, "Our main battle tanks are designed for the European region. I'm afraid they are not suitable for the hot desert areas, and neither are our soldiers. , Therefore, if we force our troops to dispatch, I am afraid there will be many problems."

Powell knows everything, but they don't know whether their tanks are suitable for the climate there, especially the wind and sand will increase their engine failure rate.

What Bush needs is a complete victory. If their actions are damaged, it may not be conducive to the current situation.

Is the target of the Iraqis only the Gaza Strip, not the whole of Israel?To overthrow Israel is the ultimate goal of their Arabs!

The army is not suitable for deployment yet, so how about dispatching the air force?Bush had the question on his mind.

At this time, the latest battle report came.

"A few minutes ago, the Israeli and Iraqi air forces had an air battle, four to one."

After receiving the news, Cheney said with a smile: "The Israeli Air Force is still the most powerful. Although Iraq is clamoring, it will not have any advantage in air combat."

"Israel was shot down three times, and one was damaged, all of which were F-15 fighters, and only one Iraqi was damaged." Powell said, looking at the next line of the battle report.

"Send out our aircraft carrier, sail into the Mediterranean Sea and the Arabian Sea, and deter the Arab invasion!" Bush said immediately.

……… "The Egyptians broke the agreement signed with us and took the initiative to attack us. We should take the initiative to attack and take back the Sinai Peninsula! The original agreement we signed to voluntarily abandon the Sinai Peninsula was a mistake. Otherwise, we would not have We will face the current situation!" Netanyahu said.

In order to reach a peace agreement with Egypt, Israel voluntarily gave up the Sinai Peninsula and returned it to Egypt, but unexpectedly, it is now being used by Iraq.

Netanyahu brought this matter up again just to prove that the Labor Party made a mistake and should not have handed over the Sinai Peninsula to the Egyptians!

Rabin knew that there was a price to pay for choosing peace, so why didn't he know that?In the third Middle East war, Rabin, as the chief of the general staff of the Israeli army, commanded the battle to occupy the Sinai Peninsula, the Golan Heights, East Jerusalem and other large Arab territories. However, he knew that it was easy to occupy these areas, but there was always It is not the territory of Israel, and Israel can never manage the Arabs on it.
