It is still night, attacking at night is always a very difficult task, especially the most advantageous air attack force of one's own side cannot exert its combat effectiveness at night.
Instead of attacking at night, it is better to wait for the work and wait until dawn before taking action! At that time, those armed helicopters of the Air Assault Division will bring death blows to the Iraqi Army, as well as 10 attack aircraft, which are specialized anti-tank weapons!
After a night of running around, the Soviet tank troops were also in a state of exhaustion. Their fuel capacity was limited, and they definitely needed to refuel in the desert. At this time, their own attack aircraft group appeared, bringing the other party the rain of death. ! Moreover, the Iraqi Air Force is beyond its reach and cannot take into account the depths of the desert in Saudi Arabia. Yesterday's battle has shown that the strength of its own air force is still overwhelming the opponent!
Hearing Powell's words, Little William frowned and nodded: "Okay, then we will arrange according to this tactic, but our ground troops must also be prepared, just in the eastern desert of Riyadh, arrange a Line of defense, if the Iraqi armored groups come by surprise, we must destroy them in the desert and protect the safety of our allies' capitals!
Saudi Arabia has no danger to defend. There are deserts everywhere. Tanks rushing in the desert can easily cross the defense line and come to attack Riyadh. At that time, when the troops were dispatched, the United States patted its chest and wanted to protect the safety of Saudi Arabia!
"It is reported that our 117 Nighthawks have returned and are refueling in the scheduled airspace. The bombs they dropped all hit their targets. President Saddam Hussein, who is suspected to be delivering a national speech in the TV building in Baghdad, has also been killed. It is now being confirmed. In." At this moment, he got another piece of good news, which made little William extremely excited.
The dispatch of the stealth aircraft is quite good! During the day, so many planes were dispatched, and Baghdad was not bombed, but now, a few stealth planes have solved the problem!
"That's right, after letting them return, continue to prepare for the bombing tomorrow night." Little William said, "If the time is adjusted, they should be able to dispatch twice in one night."
Today is just an experimental bombing, which proves the combat capability of this type of aircraft. If it is dispatched at night, it will definitely be able to bomb twice in one night!
Time is passing little by little, and the eastern sky is slowly turning white.
In the Prince Sultan Air Force Base, a large group of aircraft began to prepare for take-off. The attack effect of the Nighthawk attack aircraft last night gave them a lot of encouragement, and the Nighthawk destroyed the Iraqi air defense hub last night. Today's Bombing will be smoother!
In the north of Riyadh, at a distance of 300 kilometers, a 3 early warning aircraft was flying at a cruising altitude, and beside it, four Saudi Air Force 15 fighter jets were escorting it.
This plane took off yesterday afternoon and has been on duty for more than ten hours. The entire crew is in a state of extreme exhaustion, and the next early warning aircraft will take off in half an hour to undertake the command task of attacking again.
Although there was still half an hour left, the crew members were still energized and carefully observed their radar screens. For them, they could not relax at this moment!
In the middle of the night last night, the Iraqi armored battle group crossed the border and headed towards Riyadh. Although the early warning messages came one after another, the Middle East Command did not mobilize troops to intercept them.
The Iraqi army traveled about 300 kilometers before disappearing.
Yes, it just disappeared! 3 The type 1-band pulse Doppler radar used by the early warning aircraft was originally designed to detect air targets. Vehicles moving on the ground can also be detected.
Yes, it's a moving vehicle! The inherent disadvantage of radars based on the Doppler principle is that they will filter out aircraft without radial velocity as clutter, which is also a way of unlocking in air combat. Now, once the vehicles on the ground stop , it will be filtered out as ground clutter and cannot be displayed!
This is also very simple, it shows that the Iraqi army is stopping to refuel! The target coordinates are sent to the Prince Sultan Air Base in the rear, and the air power there will strike!
It is because the 3 early warning aircraft has this defect, so in later generations, after the Americans served in the 3, they developed the 8 "Joint Star" joint surveillance target attack radar system aircraft. The fuselage of this aircraft is equipped with a 12 The meter-long radar cabin contains a powerful 3-mode side-looking phased array band electronically scanned synthetic aperture radar. Using the synthetic aperture function, it can locate, detect and track the ground stationary or moving targets around the clock. Battle management, command and control. In the later Gulf War, this 8 aircraft played a good effect.
And the Iraqi Air Force obviously does not have the ability to fight at night The weather was calm last night, nothing happened, only the nighthawk attack aircraft was dispatched by itself, but it did not disturb the air defense system of Iraq at all.
Now that the sky is getting brighter, will the fighter planes in the Iraqi air base be dispatched?
On the radar screen, the airspace was clear and there was nothing.
The radar antenna was still spinning at a speed of 6 revolutions per minute, and in the midst of this boredom, a radar operator suddenly swept to the corner of the screen, and four targets appeared!
High-speed high-speed! The speed of these four targets exceeded Mach 2, and the height also exceeded 20,000 meters!
"I found the MiG-25 in Iraq, the distance is 400, the direction is 030, and it is intercepted immediately!" The radar operator's order quickly reached the escorting Saudi Air Force fighter formation.
"Blue Shark Squadron received." Driving the 15th fighter jet, Squadron Captain Mohammad Sheid pushed the lever, took his wingman, and flew towards the east!
The Iraqis have MiG-25 fighter jets imported by the Soviet Union! If this kind of fighter flies to high altitude, there will be no solution for oneself. However, as an **** fighter, oneself must be indomitable.
Moreover, the Iraqis are still 400 kilometers away, and their biggest goal is to expel them in the past!
"The distance is 400 kilometers, continue to climb, the orientation is correct, and prepare the missile launch procedure." Here, the MiG-25 fighter is also preparing for the final attack! To be continued.
