1462 Cruise missile attack
"Long-range missile attack?" Saddam was stunned.
Liu Suxue was also stunned.
The entire combat command center was a little stunned.
For a moment, everyone was afraid to breathe. The satellite surveillance image was connected to the large screen on the wall. In the southern sky, dozens of lights were coming towards Baghdad at high speed.
At the same time, dozens of light spots appeared in the sky to the west.
What else does such a thing happen at this time besides long-range missiles? Moreover, it is obvious that it attacked Baghdad. The Americans have already lost a lot in Baghdad today.
"Entertain the landing points of these missiles with all their strength, mobilize all the air defense firepower around them, prepare for interception, and the rocket launcher enters a standby state!" Hashem and Saddam were helpless by this situation.
The Americans actually fired long-range missiles at them, which they had never expected.
Fortunately, the speed of these missiles did not reach the high-speed flight state of Mach like intercontinental missiles. If it was two kilometers or even more in one second, it would be impossible to intercept it.
When the missile is launched, just the huge heat generated from outside can cause the intercepted missile to be scrapped.
Of course, such interception will definitely change the opponent's missile trajectory.
The explosion is not powerful, and the impact it can have is obviously not too great.
Moreover, even Americans cannot do this at the end.
Now, Liu Suxue has no choice but to hope that the air defense interception firepower designed by Liu Yijiu can produce results.
Even if only a small part is intercepted, these can have a huge impact.
"Can we intercept it?" Hashem responded. "Although we, Baghdad, have the most dense air defense firepower network in the world."
"No matter whether you can intercept it or not, you have to do this." Liu Suxue no longer had such confidence.
So, the entire underground command center began to operate at full power.
Satellites continuously photograph the flight trajectories of these missiles and map them according to the points where these photos are located, thus generating flight trajectories.
"The landing point cannot be calculated, the cruise missiles emitted by the opponent!"
Someone exclaimed.
Cruise missiles and ballistic missiles have no same principles at all.
The speed of these missiles has been reduced, but the flight trajectory is simply difficult to capture, especially to a certain extent, the flight altitude of these missiles will be greatly reduced, and the trajectory is constantly changing, and the trajectory cannot be calculated like a ballistic missile is taking a parabola.
"All air defense systems suspend attacks and enter a standby state! Target the direction of these missiles in the western and southern directions..." Liu Suxue immediately proposed a suggestion to change the order.
Saddam reacted at this time, his face very serious.
"No, we would rather be bombed than kill these stealth fighters. Once these fighters sneak attack other bases and cities, they will not be able to defend themselves." Saddam said gritting his teeth.
"But now our capital is facing an attack!" Hashem became a little trembling.
Once Baghdad's communication system and important targets were bombed, they would completely lose these wars.
In the entire Iraq, more than 60% of the air defense equipment purchased in recent years are arranged in Baghdad.
It is a rocket launcher used for ground strikes, and is also incorporated into the air defense system.
According to China's theory, missiles are used in medium and long range for interception, and rocket launchers, precisely guided missiles, anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns are used to form dense barrage for interception.
The volley of missiles attacked from a long range is much more powerful than the explosion on the ground.
"How long will the missile be?" Liu Suxue asked.
"There are about two minutes left!" the technician reported.
"Invade their network and check the landing points of these missiles!" Liu Suxue said to Yu Ping, who was so quick that he had only a shadow left.
At this time, the landing point of the cruise missile can only be found by invading the US military's communication command network.
"It's been done, maybe it's too late!" Yu Ping was already sweating profusely at this time.
My hands still didn't stop, and in the entire combat command center, I heard the crackling sound of keyboard typing.
"Then kill those bombers first, there are 17 more!" Saddam said gritting his teeth. "The radar station outside has discovered these targets, and they will stare at them!"
Indeed, the radar command station outside has discovered the target flying from afar.
These air defense fire networks commanded by communication stations did not have the same air defense fire power network as in history because of the US stealth fighter attacks, and their entire urban fire power network began to spray the sky with all their might.
Once these stealth fighters leave their firepower range, the air defense firepower that cannot be reached in this area, such as anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, will be stopped.
And those missiles are not to be ignored after they are launched.
In the sky of Baghdad, the stealth F117 fighter pilots are constantly fleeing. So far, 13 fighter jets have been shot down.
The remaining 17 aircraft were unable to receive any signals from outside because they had put away their communication antennas, so they had no idea how many of their comrades had.
If the communication antenna is raised, these situations will definitely not be known.
All the pilots were very nervous. They rushed towards the outskirts of Baghdad. Before they left, they were shot by bullets, artillery shells and air defense missiles that suddenly rose from the ground and had to turn around and flee to other places.
Iraqis can know their situation.
From time to time, huge fireballs exploded in the sky, and the pilots naturally understood what was going on.
But now, none of them cares about anything.
In the King Harry Military City, the headquarters was staring at the image of Baghdad on the satellite map. Although it was just pitch black on it, fire flashed from time to time.
This made them feel very heavy.
At the same time, on the large screen of the command center, cruise missiles launched in both directions appeared on the screen, and the missiles continued toward Baghdad, which was marked by a flashing red circle in the middle.
Everyone held their breath and waited for these missiles that were quickly approaching Baghdad to land on the red dot.
Worried about the vulnerability of the intelligence system, the targets of these missiles attacked were not marked on their satellite images.
The systems on the fighter jets, the systems on the warships, and the systems that control these missiles are all disconnected from the overall network after being launched.
Even the Ministry of Defense and its headquarters in Saudi Arabia do not know about it.
“How long will it take?”
Schwartzkopf asked, "Where have our fighter planes gone?"
"The missile is 1 minute away, and the fighter plane has just set off..."
Powell didn't speak anymore at this time.
Anyway, it is useless to say anything at this time.
He is considering how to explain to the Ministry of Defense.
"Then let's have another wave of missiles!" Schwartzkopf ordered again.
"Let domestic strategic bombers carry out air bombing on Baghdad at the same time! They must not have any resistance. The ground forces will advance at the same time!" At this time, there is no chance of regret.
The Ministry of Defense has not considered occupying Baghdad and controlling Iraq at all.
However, Iraq's combat effectiveness far exceeded the US Command's imagination.
In just one day, the losses of the US military exceeded their ability to bear.
This is the complete change in occupation.
The F117 stealth fighter has always been the top equipment in the United States. It is expensive, but it is not very satisfied with the Ministry of Defense in terms of performance.
However, the background of Locksid Company can affect the decision-making of senior American executives.
Now there are only less than 60 such fighter jets. If the performance is outstanding enough, it can completely suppress the Soviet Union and the US military will be equipped with more.
This has a huge impact on the interests.
At the same time, this also affects the development of the next-generation fighter jets in the United States and is even more important.
It's just one day, and it's been lost almost one-third of the total...
The order was issued again.
Another wave of cruise missiles ran towards Baghdad.
In Baghdad, the shrill alarm sounded all the time. Everyone in Baghdad, the wealthy people with basements, hid in the basement, and those who were far away from the air-raid shelter could only hide in their homes, trembling and praying constantly, hoping that Allah could make the war stop quickly.
In the past, when facing the bombing of the Iranian Air Force, even missiles could be lifted quickly.
Now, the air defense alarm has been ringing, and the sound of gunfire outside has never stopped, but there are not many explosions.
Fallujah, which is only sixty kilometers away from Baghdad, is also in this situation.
There is no active phased array radar here, and no passive positioning radar is arranged. Originally, the President did not believe these backward radars.
In the city of Fallujah, explosions kept ringing, and every explosion, some military facilities were turned into ruins.
Anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, and anti-aircraft missiles are constantly displayed in the sky and illuminated the night sky of the entire city.
It was not until the explosion was gone for a long time that the air defense system in the city stopped. Here, the ordinary communication system could no longer be connected to Baghdad.
"Fallujah was bombed! Our radar station and interception center were destroyed..."
"Where is our helicopter base?" Saddam asked gritted his teeth.
"The helicopters were all transferred before, and all the things left in the base are fake targets."
This made Saddam breath a sigh of relief.
Chapter completed!
