Iraq's aircraft carrier has no shadow yet, and even if it does, it will not be able to achieve the same maritime hegemony as the United States. Iraq's powerful navy does not yet have a basic skeleton.
Therefore, for Iraq, there seems to be no way to face the US aircraft carrier.
However, the great eastern powers of later generations gave Qu Sai a lot of ideas, for example, ballistic missiles hit aircraft carriers!
For weak countries, the aircraft carrier is simply invincible. In the sky, fighter planes, the Aegis system, and the short-range defense system constitute a three-dimensional defense system from far, middle, and near. If you want to strike an aircraft carrier, the price is very high.
However, for a certain thing, the aircraft carrier has no defense capabilities.
Ballistic missiles!
It's not just aircraft carriers. In this era, ballistic missiles are almost indefensible. Although the Patriot missiles made a big splash in the Gulf War in later generations, in fact, the effect of this kind of missiles is still very poor. It is only for short-range missiles. Scud missiles have a certain interception capability, and there is absolutely no way to deal with medium-range ballistic missiles.
The sea-based Aegis system of the United States in later generations has conducted many interception experiments, but the effect is still not satisfactory.The current Aegis can intercept anti-ship cruise missiles, which is good, and it is impossible to deal with ballistic missiles.
Now that the Americans are showing off their force, let the Americans know that Iraq has many tricks that can be used against aircraft carriers!
As long as ballistic missiles can hit an aircraft carrier, there is absolutely no possibility for the aircraft carrier to survive. However, there is a problem that needs to be solved.
A ballistic missile can only hit a fixed target, because, at the launch stage of a ballistic missile, it has already been decided where it will eventually fly, and it conforms to the basic laws of ballistics.
During the flight of the ballistic missile, it is impossible for the aircraft carrier at sea to stay there. It has already sailed dozens of nautical miles, and when the ballistic missile flies there, the sea is already calm.
Therefore, when using ballistic missiles to attack, one of the things that must be mastered is the ability to change orbits in the final stage after re-entry into the atmosphere. Only when re-entering the atmosphere can you adjust your flight trajectory in time according to the changed position of the aircraft carrier. to hit the target.
Iraq is also making efforts in this direction. Experts from the Arab Space Company and experts hired from the Soviet Union with high salaries are all working hard, but breakthrough progress has not yet been made.
However, if it is true or false, if Iraq wants to act like this, the giant at sea of the United States is absolute cannon fodder for Iraq.
Give the Americans a difficult problem and see how the Americans can solve this trick!
Qusay made arrangements to meet the American challenge, but he knew that the most critical issue was Prince Sultan!
As long as Prince Sultan is still there, it is enough to come out and raise his arms.
But where is Prince Sultan?
The Rattlesnake Special Forces have been dispatched for ten hours. In Riyadh, they have contacted Osama and learned that King Fahd was unfortunately killed. However, the detachment that entered the [-]st Armored Division, so far , no message came.
Abed had been in ambush in the grass for several hours, and he had remained there since dawn.
Virat led a small team, which had changed into the clothing of the Saudi First Armored Division, and held the equipment of the First Armored Division. They were searching in the base of the First Armored Division.
They had already discovered the helicopter. From a distance, there was still a piece of blood on the front cockpit of the helicopter. The pilot must have been killed. Where is Prince Sultan?Did you die too?
There are many barracks around, it is impossible for them to move around and search, what should I do?
"Shooting snakes and hitting seven inches, we should enter the division headquarters. Those people in the division headquarters must be traitors. We will know the whereabouts of the prince only if we capture them." A team member suggested to Virat.
Enter the division?this is a good idea!In this way, enough information will definitely be obtained, but this is also very dangerous, because now that the First Armored Division has defected, is it just a few high-level defections, or are most people defected?After all, they are only a small unit. If they show up at the division headquarters, the worst possibility is that they will die together with the people in the division headquarters.
They lined up and walked on the road to the barracks. Virat was thinking about countermeasures when a lone Saudi soldier came in front of him.
Habitually, Virat saluted, and the other party returned the salute casually, then bowed his head and walked forward.
The other party passed by, and Virat continued to move forward. Suddenly, there was a flash of thought that there was a problem with that person just now!
The man lowered his head, and just casually saluted like that, the salute was so irregular, yet so pompous, such a person was definitely not an ordinary soldier!
Maybe, that is the key person of the rebellion!
It's hard to say into the division headquarters, but it's no problem to catch the person who is alone. Virat made a few gestures, and the rest of the people scattered to several directions.
Prince Sultan is more than 60 years old, but maybe because he has always been the Minister of Defense and prefers to exercise, Prince Sultan's physical fitness is relatively good now, and he found out that he was imprisoned This "prison cell", although the outside is relatively tight, but the roof is not fortified.
There was nothing to fortify, there was nothing in the house, and it was impossible for him to escape through the skylight in the roof.
However, this did not trouble him. Prince Sultan put down the turban, tied the robe and the turban together, and then threw it up to make a sling. He, who was already in his 60s, was able to smoothly With this rope, climbed up.
With the last of his strength, he climbed up to the roof, rested for a while, and finally started the road of escape.
Along the stretch of barracks, he climbed a row of roofs before coming down. After that, he stole a uniform of an ordinary soldier hanging outside to dry, and prepared to flee.
Before we had gone far, it was dawn.
Stopping and walking to avoid being spotted by patrolling soldiers, Prince Sultan walked very slowly, and he was hungry.
Therefore, he encountered a group of patrolling soldiers unexpectedly, and he could only lower his body and walk over bravely. It was a miracle that the guards didn't realize that he had run out after such a long time. If he finds out, he will definitely not be able to get out.
Prince Sultan thought about it, and quickened his pace. Now, the situation in Riyadh is still unknown. However, the rebellion of the [-]st Armored Division will definitely make the situation worse. He urgently needs to escape here, and then inform Iraq The army entered Saudi Arabia to counter the rebellion.
Without actually finding out the mutiny of the First Armored Division, Prince Sultan was in a trance, as if his troops were no longer credible.
Since he had no contact with the outside world, Prince Sultan didn't know that the outside world had undergone earth-shaking changes, and the Americans were about to attack.
Suddenly, Prince Sultan raised his head. When did the two soldiers in front appear there?How did he not find out?
Lowering his head, he walked past the two of them, but just as he was about to pass by, he felt that his mouth was covered by a pair of powerful hands, and then his body unbelievably lifted off the ground.
He was taken away, who are these people?
"He's been captured." Prince Sultan heard a voice, and then his head was grabbed.
"You'd better tell the truth, if you don't want to be tortured." A voice whispered coldly, but then, the other party's voice turned into surprise: "His Royal Highness!"
Virat did not expect that they would meet Prince Sultan in this way.
The mouth was released, and Prince Sultan raised his head, and saw a face he seemed to be impressed with, but he couldn't remember.
"you are?"
"We are Virat of the Rattlesnake Special Forces. When I was in Iraq, I was responsible for defending your safety in the Arab Space Company." Virat said.
At this point, Prince Sultan realized that the person in front of him was really an Iraqi!
"We are here to rescue you under the order of President Qusay." Virat said, "Please come with us."
Prince Sultan finally relaxed. These people are the most elite personnel under Qusay. Over the past few years, the Rattlesnake Special Forces has become well-known throughout the Arabian region. With them protecting him, he is finally safe.
At this moment, they saw that there was a sudden commotion behind, and countless roars came, and cars and armored vehicles followed.
"They found me running away, so they must have come after me," said Prince Sultan.
"Run, there are infantry fighting vehicles in the front barracks, let's grab a vehicle and escape." Virat said.
... "Crackling." The door was pushed open.
"Why didn't you call for a report when you entered the door? Didn't you knock on the door?" Qusay's tone was a little harsh, and he raised his head from the data displayed on the LCD screen in front.
