Soviet Union 1991

First update

There is a reason why Turkish senior officials did not allow the aviation force to provide cover. First, they were worried that the combat attack aircraft or helicopters would be intercepted by the opponent's radar. In this way, the attack would be equivalent to being exposed to the enemy's eyes. However, this approach of simply letting the armored forces attack has made Türkiye's armored forces a moving target. Although the armored regiment is equipped with a certain number of Stinger missiles and m163 Vulcan anti-aircraft guns to protect the advancement of the armored forces.

When a series of tongues of fire rise from the ground like a long winding snake and rush into the sky, it is the beginning of the end of the Turkish armored forces. The first wave of induced attacks was just to explore the positions of Vulcan anti-aircraft guns and the deployment of anti-aircraft missiles. The FAB100 aerial bomb dropped by the Su-34 bomber landed on the armored regiment. Although the flames of anti-aircraft guns rushing towards the clouds could be seen in the sky, this did not pose any threat to the Su-34. Instead, they exposed their air defense positions to the 82nd Battalion airborne reconnaissance troops. Soon they figured out all the deployment conditions of the M163 Vulcan anti-aircraft guns and quickly fed the information back to the rear headquarters.

"We have found out the locations of the enemy's thirteen M163 anti-aircraft guns. Your goal is to prioritize destroying these things that may pose a threat to our fighter jets. Do you understand?" the Russian commander shouted to the pilot on the walkie-talkie.

"Understood, sir. Yes, sir."

Because there were too many formations dispatched, the air force commander received intermittent replies, but everyone made a promise to the commander and would never let Turkish tanks enter Syria again. Everyone's mood is not heavy. According to the intelligence, the Turkish armored forces have weak air defense capabilities. Once their anti-aircraft guns are destroyed, they are equivalent to fighting a blind man.

"Comrades, I'll treat you all to a drink to celebrate when you come back."

After putting down the walkie-talkie, the commander glanced at the photo of the pilots hanging on the wall. The low voice said to himself, "Comrades, we must all come back alive."

Of course, these anti-aircraft guns will also be the first targets of the Su-25 Frogfoot and Ka-52 armed helicopters. Because some tanks had already walked out of the canyon area, all the tanks parked on the plains became the targets of bomber attacks. The first wave of attacks was like a threatening approach, just wiping out the troops at the front of the canyon.

No M60 tank would have the guts to see the outside world again after seeing those giant fireballs rising from the ground and the deafening bombings. For them, preserving life and strength is the first priority. However, the armored forces had fallen into a chaotic situation. The narrow canyon prevented the troops from retreating backwards. The Turkish armored forces, which had not experienced such an ambush attack, suddenly became confused, not to mention that the advancing troops were often the most vulnerable.

The Turkish commander obviously has not experienced such actual combat situations. Although Turkey and the Greek air force have fought against each other, he has never seen such an unsuspecting crushing strike from the air to the ground. At this time, the major commanding the armored forces was no longer able to make judgments based on experience, and could only evacuate the tanks and armored vehicles backwards, as quickly as possible.

The 30mm cannons and 9k121 Tornado anti-tank missiles of the Su-25 attack aircraft and Ka-52 helicopters are secret weapons for restraining anti-aircraft firepower and armored forces. Before the M163 Vulcan anti-aircraft gun had time to react, it was already targeted by the Su-25 attack aircraft.

The early m163 Vulcan anti-aircraft guns did not have automatic tracking radar, so when they discovered that the Su-25 attack aircraft was approaching, it was too late to react. Although the flames sprayed by the M163 and the cross-fire network formed prevented the Su-25 attack aircraft from getting close, the 9k121 Cyclone anti-tank missile launched after aiming at the anti-aircraft gun could still absorb all the artillery fire on the air defense position.

The fireball and scattered sparks made the armored commander feel chilled. After losing the anti-aircraft firepower, he knew that he was doomed now. Air support arrived about five minutes later, but this wave of attacks had already disabled all the armor's anti-aircraft firepower.

Without the cover of anti-aircraft fire, the following tanks became easy targets. The 30mm cannon kept spitting out tongues of fire, harvesting the tanks on the ground. The old M60 tank was completely unable to withstand the crushing of Cyclone anti-tank missiles and 30mm machine guns. Even the Stinger missiles occasionally fired from a corner were easily avoided with heat decoys.

An armored regiment suffered the most brutal massacre and was in a mess in a narrow section of the valley. The soldiers could only shoot at the fighter jets with vehicle-mounted machine guns, but this was of no use. The nearly abnormal level of protective armor of the Su-25 attack aircraft makes the vehicle-mounted machine gun completely unable to fight back.

Smoke filled the air, and there were blown-up M60 tanks and infantry fighting vehicles everywhere. Soldiers wrapped in fireballs jumped out of the infantry fighting vehicle, wailing and rolling until they fell to the ground and could no longer make a sound.

After the first wave of air strikes, the armored regiment had no power to fight back, and only some of the tanks that could still move were left to evacuate backwards. The commander thought the war was over and quickly ordered the soldiers to evacuate backwards. After a few minutes of aviation support arriving, they could evacuate to a safe area under the cover of fighter jets.

"Damn, why does the Syrian Air Force have so many armed helicopters and attack aircraft? When did they buy them from the Soviet Union! Those useless people in the Turkish intelligence department should be shot when they return!"

No one dared to answer the major's complaint. The mood of failure enveloped them, making them breathless. At this time, the only hope of these soldiers was to evacuate this place as soon as possible and return to Turkey to regroup.

However, Turkey greatly underestimated the Soviet Union's coordinated combat offensive.

If the first wave of Su-34 was just to lure the Turkish armored forces to expose their anti-aircraft firepower, the last batch of Su-34 bombers was specially prepared for the end. What's more, the Soviet Union also prepared a surprise for the Turkish army, thermobaric bombs.

Four Su-34 bombers carrying ODAB-500PM fuel air bombs decided to send them off for the last time.

Yanayev was indeed the most trustworthy person. He said that if he wanted to make sure that no Turkish army could return alive, he would definitely not let them return alive.

This was the last scene of the death god descending from the sky.

The Su-34 carrying the thermobaric bomb had already reached the sky above the evacuated troops, and then the thermobaric bombs on the bomb rack were released and tilted down. In the next quarter of an hour, no one could return alive from this burning hell. (~^~)
