Chapter 442： Airborne Division

eadx(); In the night sky, the roar is so surging.

This is a large aircraft group. The more than 100 Il-76s in the center of the aircraft group are already quite large. Even in the last Western 79 military exercise, so many transport aircraft were not dispatched at one time. !

Moreover, around the transport plane, there is also a flight regiment of MiG-23 fighter jets to **** them. These fighter jets are the latest modification. After the auxiliary fuel tank is added, the range is increased, which can meet the needs of this flight.

Moreover, for the Soviets, the Iranian sky is almost undefended, and the key thing to take care of is the air defense missiles on the Iranian ground. Therefore, more than half of the **** fighters in this flight group are mounted air-to-ground. Anti-radiation missiles, as long as the anti-radiation source on the ground is found, it will carry out a ruthless attack on the ground!

At the same time, in order to ensure the smooth progress of this flight, at the rear of the fleet, there are electronic warfare aircraft, two large Il-76s are the main force, one of them Il-76 has a huge mushroom plate on its back. This is the An-50 early warning aircraft developed on the basis of the Il-76!

The Il-76 is a transport aircraft similar to the American C-141 heavy transport aircraft developed by the Soviet Ilyushin Design Bureau in the 1970s. This transport aircraft is to replace the old An-12 transport aircraft, which can carry more than 40 tons of cargo and fly more than 5,000 kilometers in 6 hours. It is also possible to take off at most airports in the Soviet Union with insufficient or simple facilities. At the same time, it must adapt to the different climates of the Soviet Union, mainly to overcome the severe cold climate in the near-polar regions and the temperature-changing environment in the Caucasus.

The technical development of Soviet aviation is very rapid. This four-engine transport aircraft, which was completely developed in accordance with the requirements of military transport aircraft, was quickly completed. The first test flight took place at Moscow Central Airport on March 25, 1971, and on May 27 of the same year. On public display at the 29th Paris International Aviation Expo. The test flight continued until the end of 75 years, and then it was put into mass production and delivered to the army and civil aviation.

Although from Andre's point of view, there are many problems with this kind of transport aircraft, such as the inability to completely transport the main battle tank by air, that is, if the carrying capacity and the size of the cargo box are 10% larger, it would be quite good, but this model The transport aircraft that can take off and land at the front-line field airport quickly became the main Soviet transport aircraft after its birth. So far, the entire Soviet Union has been equipped with more than 400 such transport aircraft!

At the same time, based on the body of this transport aircraft, other special aircraft that have been improved have also started research and development in full swing. Among them, the most important one is the early warning aircraft!

The old moss only solves the problem of availability, and cannot meet the needs of the future at all. The development of a new early warning aircraft based on the Il-76 body began in 1975.

Historically, the development of this early warning aircraft was completed in 1984, and it had combat capability for commanding MiG-29 and Su-27 fleets. And now, with the electronic technology of the island country being received by the Soviets, the development of the early warning aircraft is quite smooth, and the first An-50 early warning aircraft can already be deployed in actual combat!

Using the latest flat slot radar antenna, installed in the top radome, coupled with advanced digital processing technology, this early warning aircraft can effectively filter out the target to be found from the clutter on the ground, even the ground On the team, you can observe clearly!

Therefore, with the help of this early warning aircraft, the entire formation can fly more smoothly in the Iranian sky, which is as clean as the Soviet airspace!

At the same time, the rear one is also an electronic jammer built with the Il-76 body.

The development of this kind of aircraft was actually earlier. Just after Andre forced the American EP-3 electronic fighter to land, this kind of aircraft was dismantled by Soviet technicians, and various researches were carried out, that is, from the On this plane, they came to the conclusion that the electronic technology of the United States was at least ten years better than their own, and they began to gradually abandon the idea of the tube and move to integrated circuits that are more adaptable to the future.

It's just that the technology at that time was still limited, so all kinds of imitations were very difficult. Until now, with the inheritance of the island country's electronic technology, they can finally successfully develop this latest electronic fighter!

High-power electromagnetic interference floods the entire airspace, and the radar frequency of weapons such as high-level anti-aircraft missiles equipped by the Iranians has been optimized, which can interfere with the ground forces of the Iranians to the greatest extent!

In the sky, a large group of more than 130 aircrafts are flying in the airspace of the Iranians so chicly. This is also no other way, because they must pass through the entire north and south regions of Iran and land in the southeast of Iran. Corner of Sistan!

For the ground troops, it takes at least two days of racing to get here. For this major military operation by the Soviet Union, the focus is not the resistance of the Iranians, but the counterattack of the Americans!

At first, the United States invaded Iran from the southeastern corner of Iran, using Pakistan as a springboard. Later, the United States had to admit its failure and withdrew its troops from Iran's land. Troops, stranded in Pakistan!

The Soviet Union is of course clear about the Americans' plans. They are not willing to fail, and they want to make a comeback!

And now This is a very good opportunity. When the Soviet Union starts to attack from the north, the Americans will definitely be eager to attack from the south again!

Of course, we can't give the Americans a chance. Our best choice is to control the southeastern province of Sistan first!

Therefore, in order to achieve its own strategic goals, the Turkestan Military Region has transferred its two airborne divisions, the 103rd Guards Airborne Division and the 105th Guards Airborne Division, two reorganized airborne divisions here!

Even with the huge air power of the Soviets, it is already the limit to drop the entire airborne division at one time. Therefore, the 105th Division will be transported first. After the fleet returns, the waiting 103rd Division will be able to be transported. Airlift again!

Airborne troops are the most dangerous type of troops in the first place. At the same time, airborne troops are extremely dangerous at night! However, for the sake of the Soviets, the fearless Soviet airborne troops will never be afraid!

The noise in the cabin is very loud. Like other soldiers, the soldiers of the fully armed Airborne Division are ready to fight. In the past few years, they have been fighting almost all the time. For example, when they landed in Hokkaido, they were the first to raid. One of the troops! (To be continued.)
