Although the war started, just like the intercepted Tomahawk missile, the situation was not good. European powers such as the United States, France, Britain, and Italy did not dispatch their armies for landing operations. They assembled nearly six aircraft carrier attack groups. In the direction of the Black Sea, a targeted attack was conducted on the Northeastern Military District of the Prophet Army.
This seemingly magnificent bombing did not achieve much results. At the beginning of the war, the four navies led by the United States launched a total of 300 surface-to-air missiles. Their strategic goal was to defeat the strongest force of the Prophet Army. The Northeastern Military District then cooperated with Turkey's Second Field Army stationed in the south to attack Iraq.
For George, the commander of the multinational force and the Supreme Commander of the U.S. Central Command, if this plan fails, although the Prophet Army is powerful, the U.S. military will not have direct contact with the Prophet Army, but will use sea and air to attack Turkey. The SE Army, Jordan and Saudi Arabia provided indirect weapons and war material support. In addition, Japan, the Philippines, and other countries sent a small amount of land forces to carry out an integrated sea, land and air attack on Iraq. The final victory of the war must belong to the United States. Multinational troops.
Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has not suffered any defeats. George, who is full of confidence, believes that the real combat effectiveness is the Northeast Military District of the Prophet Army. This army has two armies, each with about 50,000 people. As long as it is defeated This army, which has repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats, basically won this war.
After all, General Black's name is much more resounding in New Iraq than Simon, second only to the prophet. Defeating the military god of New Iraq also means defeating the confidence of the New Iraqis to fight back.[
In George's eyes, this black general is not difficult to deal with. He has to succumb to the absolute force of the United States and the powerful army. He believes that the reason why Taylor lost is because Taylor is a brainless fool who went deep alone. , gave up the biggest advantage of the US military, and was thus pinned down in Iraq.
However, two hours into the war, George discovered something was wrong. Nearly three hundred surface-to-air missile saturation strikes did not cause much damage to the Northeast Military Region.
Contrary to his expectation, his missiles were not that effective. The explosion caused the Prophet Army to flee. According to limited intelligence, 99% of the missiles they fired were intercepted by the Iraqi Home Defense Force.
The reason why it is said to be limited intelligence is because the intelligence personnel they dispatched to Iraq were all very cautious. There was no other way. The nose of the Iraqi Intelligence Agency was simply more sensitive than that of the Central Intelligence Agency. At least nine out of ten intelligence personnel were captured. , and the intelligence provided by another was not of great value, so the intelligence they obtained in Iraq was limited.
But George still launched an attack brazenly. It didn't matter if they had no intelligence. They could just use missiles to attack the military targets detected by the satellite. As long as the attack was hit, Turkey's Second Field Army would be dispatched and they would be able to capture it.
When George learned that all the missiles had been intercepted, only a few had fallen into Iraq, and the bombs were not military targets, his face darkened.
The staff officers of the multinational force also had bad faces. It was not a good thing to fail to win, but this war had already begun, and they had to fight to the end.
I have never heard of a country declaring war with another country, only to fire a few missiles and then cease all activities. Moreover, if they are willing to cease all activities, will the Prophet Army be willing? The answer is obviously no.
Therefore, after some discussion, they decided to dispatch fighter jets to conduct a surgical attack on Iraq to eliminate the main force of the Prophet's Army at targeted locations.
As a result, five aircraft carriers and various types of fighter jets began to take off. Under the cover of early warning aircraft and electronic warfare aircraft, they passed through Turkey and began bombing the Northeastern Military District of Iraq. At the same time, various missiles also carried out cover bombing.
According to the information received by Alexander, the supreme commander of the Combined Fleet, what the Russian surveillance ship saw in the Black Sea was a scene of thousands of arrows firing.
From early warning aircraft to electronic warfare aircraft, then to fighter bombers, and finally to the guided missiles, roaring towards the Northeastern Military District of Iraq.
At that time, Alexander felt that the multinational force was crazy. At the same time, he was worried about the Prophet Army guarding the Northeast Military Region. He wondered whether the big black man could handle it.
In fact, without Alexander's intelligence, General Xu Liang, the supreme commander of the Homeland Defense Air Force, had already obtained the actions of the Black Sea and the Turkish Air Force through radar.
"Damn it, the American [**] silk is seeking death." Even Xu Liang, the commander of the Air Defense Force who had experienced many battles, was frightened by this formation, but this did not scare him. I know that the air defense systems in his hands are all S-400 Triumph.
Without saying a word, he issued an order to launch the missile launchers of all the air defense divisions in the northeast and central China. At this time, the S-400 Triumph showed its huge advantage. After the missile launchers were launched, no reaction time was needed at all. , it is completely possible to search for targets in the air.
But what they intercepted were all guided missiles, and there were also a few unlucky Turkish aircraft. Xu Liang's Homeland Defense Air Force could not bear to take on the entire defense task. After all, there were too many enemies, so he immediately called the Air Force.
When Aziz received the intelligence, he immediately ordered all fighter jets in the northeastern and central provinces to take off, and a battle between the world's most advanced fighter jets began.
The Iraqi pilots are full of confidence. The fighter jets they fly now are not the garbage from Saddam's period. Many of them are the most advanced fighters from Russia, from MiG-29 to Su-30. The total equipment in the past two months The ministry even sent them the most advanced Su-35 fighter jets.[
This type of fighter that focuses on air combat is called the Ultimate Flanker by NATO. Although it is only a third-and-a-half-generation fighter, it is the best fighter in the Russian fighter series. The Air Force negotiated with Russia for a long time before ordering sixty of them. And it’s still the kind that doesn’t provide technology.
In the simulated air combat conducted by NATO, the combat effectiveness of the Su-35 stunned all NATO allies. In addition to the most powerful F22 Raptor stealth fighter in the United States, the third-generation F15, F16 and other advanced main fighters were almost in front of the Su-35. No way to fight back.
Even the F35, which is called the most expensive fourth-generation fighter jet, has fallen behind. The only one that can compete, besides the F22 Raptor, is the F-18 Super Hornet, a carrier-based aircraft on the US aircraft carrier.
But it's just a competition. The maneuverability of the Su-35 is definitely better than that of the F-18.
The pilots who had just arrived in Iraq and had only trained for less than two weeks were almost all ace pilots of the Iraqi Air Force. They had flown various Russian aircraft and participated in almost all air battles from before the founding of the new Iraq to after the founding of the new country.
Of course, the first person to fight against the new Iraqi Air Force was the Turkish Air Force, but when they thought that they had just flown into Iraq and saw the target, the radar showed that they were locked. Dozens of Turkish Air Force F16 fighter jets were directly destroyed, and
The Iraqi Air Force was unscathed.
In modern air combat, what is fought is beyond visual range warfare, and close combat is only carried out as a last resort. The airborne radar on the Su-35 has a much wider detection range than the airborne radar on the Turkish Air Force's F-16.
The radar network of the Land Defense Force on the ground covered them, and they were already targeted by the guidance of the Land Defense Force and the Iraqi Air Force before they even entered the territory of Iraq.
Maybe the Turkish Air Force also thought that the Iraqi Air Force was dispatched so quickly, and it was an advanced Su-35 fighter jet, and it was completely annihilated even in a face-to-face encounter.
The NATO aircraft behind them quickly joined this war of disparity in strength. In a day's air battle, the Prophet Army dispatched as many as 500 fighter sorties, while NATO dispatched nearly 800 aircraft sorties. The numbers dispatched by the two sides were not proportional.
, but in terms of results, it was reversed.
The Prophet Army destroyed a total of 151 NATO Air Force aircraft, of which more than 50 were from the Turkish Air Force, and the other 101 were naturally from the NATO Air Force. Among them, the air forces of the United Kingdom, France, and Italy suffered the most losses, and the United States
Over twenty aircraft were also lost.
The losses on the part of the Prophet Army were almost negligible. Except for two aircraft that crashed due to malfunctions in the air, a total of twelve aircraft were destroyed.
One of the most advanced Su-35 fighter jets was lost, and the most serious losses were MiG-29 and Su-27 fighter jets.
This result almost shocked the whole world. Although the first battle was important, it was the first time in the 21st century that such a large-scale air battle had been carried out.
Since the end of the Cold War, most air battles have involved weak forces fighting strong forces, but this air battle was evenly matched in strength. It can even be said that the Iraqi Air Force was in a weak position, but it created a glorious page in the history of world air combat.
It is conceivable that if it were not for the air forces of other provinces having to deal with Israel and other three countries, I am afraid that the results of this air battle would be even greater.
For the Iraqi Air Force, this battle was a battle to avenge their past humiliation. They did not dispatch any troops during previous multinational attacks, so the Iraqi Air Force was criticized as a waste, a coward who ran away from the battle. How many reasons can be given to them afterwards?
explanation, but these two names have hung on them for more than ten years.
Now, they are driving the most advanced fighter jets to a complete victory in the battle with the NATO Air Force. This is a long-awaited baptism for them.
Of course, in addition to making the Iraqi Air Force famous, this air battle also has two other things that are also famous around the world. They are the Russian S-400 Triumph and the Su-35 Ultimate Flanker.
No one would have thought that Russia would be so generous in giving these two most advanced conventional weapons to Iraq. After careful analysis, it was found that the multinational forces were not unjustly defeated.
If they had known that New Iraq had these two weapons, I am afraid they would not have launched an attack so rashly. According to their intelligence, although the Iraqi Air Force's fighter jets are all third-generation fighter jets, they definitely have three and a half generations of fighter jets, so they
Full of confidence.
In their eyes, the Iraqi Homeland Defense Force has the S-300 Pride air defense missile system, but they think that they actually have the more advanced S-400 Triumph air defense system.
At this time, on the U.S. nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, George was dejected. How wonderful it would be if there were no what-ifs in the war [
