"The CIA is paying close attention to the situation in Yemen and is preparing to show our presence in Yemen. We will complete the deployment of troops in Yemen within half a year." Bush finally made up his mind.
Within half a year, because Bush must resolve the Middle East issue during his term of office and provide opportunities for his re-election campaign.
Yemen is the most important breakthrough.
"At the same time, because Iraq took the initiative to provoke and shot down our fighter plane, we will impose all-round sanctions on Iraq, including military, economic, industrial, and various sanctions. We will unite with Western Europe to completely crush Iraq. Processing industry." Speaking of processing industry, Bush has a sense of irony. In his eyes, Iraq now has no scientific research capabilities. Iraq's seemingly very strong industries will gradually decline due to the blockade. The production line will eventually become a pile of scrap metal.
Bush did not know, he miscalculated two things, first, Iraq's scientific research capabilities.Iraq's industry was developed by comprehensive imports, but now Iraq already has a large number of scientific researchers, including those from Iraq itself, from countries in the Middle East, from Europe, from major eastern countries, and more importantly, from the Soviet Union. A large number of technicians, who are very satisfied with the favorable treatment and salary provided by Iraq, have come to this newly industrialized country.
Second, NATO is definitely not monolithic.The United States can choose to get more oil imports from Canada, but those countries in Europe that are short of oil must import from the Middle East. Now Iraq has the largest original reserves in the world.Moreover, the oil pipeline from Iraq directly to the Mediterranean through Syria has tripled its capacity after repairs and expansion.
This proposal of the United States did not reach a consensus within NATO, and eventually became a blockade by the United States itself.
The first thousand and fifty-six chapters close combat is very simple
When formulating their policies toward the Middle East, no one mentioned the issue of freezing Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait and other countries’ large sums of money in the United States from the beginning to the end, because they all had a premonition that if their struggle also It has expanded to the financial field, and the harm caused may not even be able to bear by the United States. Those guys in the desert, God knows when they will use the weapon of oil, cut production, embargo, and disrupt the global oil market.
Oil, if there is no oil there, why would the United States go to war there!The resources there are the best only if they are mastered by the United States!
"So, now, we just watch our fighter planes being shot down, and then just withdraw like this?" Secretary of Defense Cheney asked unwillingly. endure.
As the most powerful United States in the world, when has it endured?
While the high-level U.S. leaders were still formulating strategies, the air battle on the front line had temporarily come to an end.
Two Tomcat fighters are soaring in the sky, and in front of them are four Mirage 4000 fighters, but they have no fear, because they are the masters of the sky!
The weapon operator in the back cabin is mainly responsible for operating the fire control radar to launch the powerful Phoenix missiles, and guiding the Sparrow missiles in medium-range air combat. However, in close-range air combat, he does not need to operate weapons. All are controlled by the pilot in the front cabin, while the personnel in the back cabin mainly use their own vision to perceive the surrounding situation and help the pilot search the surrounding airspace.
When avoiding the first round of medium-range bomb strikes, the weapon operator in the rear cabin pressed a button in time, and the several Phoenix missiles in the abdomen have been thrown away.Since the phoenix is too heavy, throwing away this missile can reduce the weight of the aircraft and facilitate fighting during close combat.
According to the news from the early warning plane, they soon spotted an enemy plane approaching in the distance at seven o'clock. It was an Iraqi fighter plane!
It's time to come, it's finally here!
Two AIM-9M missiles are mounted under the wings of the Tomcat fighter plane. This kind of missile is more advanced than the AIM-9L missile exported by the United States, and has omnidirectional attack capabilities. Therefore, as long as you change the angle of your nose, Let the opponent's target be launched within a [-]-degree angle range of its own missile seeker.
Alex made sufficient preparations. During the flight, he had already let the power supply of the aircraft supply power to the missile through the launching device, activated the cooling switch in the cockpit, and continuously ignited the infrared detector within the optimal temperature range. cold.Be ready to start the thermal battery pack on the bomb at any time, as long as the voltage of the thermal battery pack is added to the rocket engine igniter to ignite and connect the fuze circuit, the missile can be launched.
Through the data of the fire control radar and the calculation of the computer, the seeker can attack after waiting for the angle of the aircraft's nose to change.This only takes a second or two.
However, at this moment, white smoke was coming from a distance, and the opponent had already launched a missile!
This is the second time Alex has felt so surprised today. Has the equipment performance of Iraq far surpassed that of the United States?
At this time, the two sides are flying in opposite directions, and it is futile to perform various maneuvers to escape. The most suitable method is to fly towards the opponent's missile, and then, at the moment of collision, change the course of the aircraft .
This is more exciting and thrilling than dodging the mid-range missile just now.However, he has no choice.
Alex focused all his attention. He operated the huge Tomcat fighter plane and flew towards the missile like a moth to a flame. Yes, the Tomcat is a moth, and the missile is the fire!
There were no other thoughts in his mind, only thinking about avoiding that missile!
This kind of action is very dangerous. If you dodge early, the missile will follow. Moreover, if you just expose your biggest side to the opponent, you are sure to be hit. If you dodge late, you will be hit directly. up.
In the field of vision, the missile is getting bigger and bigger, and Alex seems to be able to feel that the infrared seeker of the missile is aiming at him. Finally, when close contact is about to occur, Alex slammed down on the control lever and pushed the rudder sideways at the same time.
The Tomcat turned around nimbly, passing the missile that was flying towards him.
Alex was no longer as calm as the first time. In such a short period of time, he was targeted by two missiles and got rid of both. I don't know if he was lucky or unlucky.
After the breath of death flew by, Alex finally started to fight back. He made a high-overload flip, ready to point the nose of the aircraft at the opponent and launch his own fighting missile.
Little did he know, the pilot across the way, Omar, didn't give him a chance.
From the perspective of research and development, F-14, F-15, and F-16 are all products of the energy surplus theory. In air combat, fighter jets with high energy are always more active than fighter jets with low energy. Good mobility.Because any maneuver in air combat consumes energy, the more energy there is left, the more complex maneuvers can be performed.
The Mirage 4000, J-[-] and other fighters are the products of instantaneous pointing capabilities. Now that missile technology is gradually improving, it is most important to point the nose of the aircraft at the opponent as soon as possible and launch missiles.
With the structure of delta wing and front canard, Phantom 4000 can directly obtain positive lift, so its turning ability is very good.
Moreover, he doesn't need to make many turns, as long as the opponent's plane is within a range of [-] degrees in front of him, he can launch missiles.
Omar raised his head, and the sight on the helmet had already locked on the target. Then, the flames flashed under the wing, and another R-73 missile flew out.
Alex watched his fighter plane fall from his side, but he still didn't understand how he was shot down.
Just now, Alex skillfully performed a large overload maneuver, preparing to bring the opponent into the guidance range of an AIM-9M Sidewinder missile mounted under his wing, but at this moment, the opponent had already fired Missiles.
The other party fired missiles very quickly, so fast that the two-seater structure of the Tomcat fighter jet would not have such a rapid launch process. At the same time, he was also surprised, not only the weapon operator in the back seat, He also saw that during the launch just now, the angle between the opponent's missile and his own plane was also about [-] degrees. In this case, the launch condition was absolutely not met.
However, time could no longer be turned back, and he could not repeat the process just now. In short, the F-14 Tomcat fighter with the best maneuverability did not gain any advantage in close combat with the opponent. !
The umbrella flower of the weapon operator in the back cabin slowly fell in the distance, and both of them parachuted safely, which is considered lucky.
In Baghdad, in the rear command hall, the results of the battle have been obtained.
The data gathered from various sources all show that they are very optimistic. Iraq has already controlled the situation, turned passive into active, and resolved the crisis.
The situation in Saudi Arabia has been temporarily brought under control. The No.30 Fifth Armored Division is temporarily stationed outside Riyadh. With such a powerful armored force, any conspiracy to rebel will be nipped in the bud.
If the Iraqi troops had been there from the beginning, the Saudi royal family would not have been ravaged. Qusay expressed sympathy for what happened to the Saudi royal family. In this rebellion, many innocent people in the royal family who remained in the urban area of Riyadh were killed. To the poisonous hands.
Of course, Prince Sultan showed no mercy to this rebellion. The militants who participated in the rebellion in the urban area were all killed or imprisoned. What awaits them, even if it is not the death penalty, will spend their whole lives in prison. .
The armored division outside Riyadh was also thoroughly investigated, and the middle-level officers were almost replaced. Although Prince Sultan usually smiled, he was absolutely unambiguous in controlling the army.
Although Qusay expressed deep sympathy for what happened to the Saudi royal family, he also knew that after experiencing this incident, Saudi Arabia finally gave up its illusions about the United States and began to completely form an alliance with Iraq.
For Iraq, this still seems to be a good thing.
Taking care of the situation in Riyadh, at the same time, the exchange of fire with the Americans on the front line also made Qusay even more worried.
Sooner or later, Iraq would confront the Americans head-on. However, Qusay did not expect that the Americans would come so early. The Americans would arrive before he was ready.
Iraq can't back down, it can only rush forward bravely.
So far, everything is favorable to Iraq, especially after the Americans opened fire first and launched Phoenix missiles, the Iraqi Air Force's counterattack can be described as extraordinary.
First, the active sky flash missile was used to give the Americans a disarm. Then, the helmet sight and the large off-axis combat missile were used. The American Tomcat fighter plane was completely wiped out. The Iraqi side only had one The aircraft was damaged. This record can be said to have never been seen before.
There are many reasons for this. Among them, an important one is that Iraq has fully understood the performance of this US Navy fighter.
The Tomcat was invincible in the Iran-Iraq war, but the Iraqis still found a way to counter it.Since the Iranian Tomcat and the American Tomcat are all the same except for the difference in the IFF, this powerful fighter, in the eyes of the Iraqis, has been stripped naked and can directly see all pros and cons.The Iraqis are familiar with this kind of aircraft, as if they are familiar with a fighter jet in their own air force sequence.
The first thousand and fifty-seventh chapter conspiracy, Yangmou
Originally, in close-range combat, no fighter jet could completely overwhelm this kind of aircraft in terms of various technical indicators. However, the maneuverability of the twin-engine heavy-duty air superiority fighter Mirage 4000 is also excellent, and combined with the use of helmet sights The large off-axis launch of the R-73 missile turned out to have an advantage.
