Chapter 36 Luxury Weapons Exhibition

In a blink of an eye, it was time to enter the final exam. During these few days, Ye Kai had been busy and exhausted from dealing with various test questions and papers.

This is also the last official final exam in the senior year of high school. Once the Spring Festival is over, the countdown to the college entrance examination will begin. At that time, I am afraid that I will have to face various tests every day, just for the final sprint.

In fact, for today's children in Beijing, the enthusiasm for the college entrance examination is still not very sufficient.

There is no other reason. The main reason is that once you enter a college, the graduation allocation is for the whole country. If you are assigned to another province in the future, then the household registration in the capital cannot be retained. It seems that the gain outweighs the loss.

After all, in the eyes of most people in the capital, as a person from the capital, they are inherently advantageous resources and have a sense of superiority, just like the children of the Eight Banners back then.

Ye Kai also knows this very well. Just like how many years later, a household registration in the capital can still be speculated to hundreds of thousands, which can illustrate this problem.

But for Ye Kai, this problem naturally does not exist. He took the college entrance examination just to gain a good reputation. After all, he was admitted to a good prestigious university with his own strength. Speaking of it among many family forces, it was also

It seems more respectable.

In Ye Kai's eager anticipation, Ning Shuang finally showed up, but it was just a glimpse.

When the exam was over and before the official winter vacation, Ning Shuang disappeared again, which made Ye Kai feel a little sad.

However, Chen Fang kept wandering in front of Ye Kai's eyes from time to time, seemingly looking for something to talk about.

Ye Kai has some feelings for Chen Fang. After all, Chen Fang's figure is too hot and her looks are not bad. She is indeed very attractive. However, Ye Kai also understands that Chen Fang looks a bit aggressive. In fact, in a certain

They are relatively conservative in some aspects. If they really get into trouble, they may not be easy to get rid of.

At least at this stage, Ye Kai doesn't want to cause himself a lot of trouble.

At this time, the attention at home and abroad is mainly focused on the Gulf.

On August 2 last year, the Iraqi army invaded Kuwait, overthrew the Kuwaiti government and announced the annexation of Kuwait. After obtaining authorization from the United Nations, the multinational force led by the United States began to launch a military offensive against the Iraqi army in Kuwait and Iraq on January 16 this year.

The main battles include continuous air strikes and land battles on the borders of Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

This war was also the first large-scale local war that the US military participated in since the Vietnam War. During the war, the US military put a large number of high-tech weapons into actual combat for the first time, demonstrating its overwhelming air and electromagnetic superiority. Through the Gulf War,

The United States has further strengthened its military and political cooperation with countries in the Persian Gulf region and strengthened its military presence in the Middle East.

However, most people can only focus on the more superficial level. For example, look at the news reports and count how many Iraqi Scud missiles were intercepted by Patriot missiles today. What special remarks did Saddam Hussein make?

remarks, etc.

At least at this time, domestic public opinion is still guided by the Americans as the evil party. Most people are more sympathetic to the Iraqi resistance. As for Kuwait, where is that? Everyone has only heard that the people there are

There are just a lot of oil wells.

"Oh, we were shot down again!" There were bursts of boos from the students who were watching in front of the TV in the restaurant.

Looking at the bursts of light rain falling on the screen, Ye Kai was also quite interested in it.

During Operation "Desert Storm", the Soviet-made weapons and equipment equipped by Iraq engaged in large-scale direct confrontation with American weapons and equipment. Although the Iraqi army was defeated, its "Scud" series of mobile operational tactical missile systems caused the US military to suffer a lot.

During Saddam's period, Iraq mainly imported Soviet weapons and equipment, and its military construction was similar to that of the Soviet army. Therefore, it paid special attention to missile weapons. All troops at division or above were equipped with missile systems, mainly "Scud-B".

The "Scud-B" system is an improved liquid-fuel missile that can be loaded with nuclear warheads, explosive warheads, chemical or high-explosive warheads with an equivalent power of 100 kilograms. The missile is 11.25 meters long, 0.88 meters in diameter, and has a range of 300 kilometers.

Probability deviation 450 meters.

With the assistance of Soviet experts and the participation of Egyptian and French experts, the Iraqi army developed various modifications, mainly to reduce the weight of the warhead and increase the range. The improved missile flight trajectory is similar to the original, but has a longer range and can enter at high speeds.

Dense atmosphere.

The U.S. military attaches great importance to the Iraqi Scud missile threat. According to intelligence obtained by reconnaissance, the Iraqi army possesses approximately 800 Scud missiles of various types. On the day the war started, the Allied forces seized air supremacy. In the past few days, all Iraqi forces

All fixed launch platforms were attacked, 12 of them were completely destroyed and 13 were seriously damaged.

However, allied air power failed to completely prevent the launch of Iraqi Scud missiles.

Before the war, the U.S. military did not receive any information about the Iraqi military’s tactical plans for the use of missile weapons. It only estimated that there would be approximately 30 to 50 sets of two types of Scud missile mobile launchers.

US military experts believe that the Iraqi army will launch missiles from positions prepared in advance, just like during the Iran-Iraq war. For this purpose, corresponding preparations must be made. Radio communications must be conducted before launch, which takes about an hour. Therefore, it can be detected in time.

And destroy the "Scud" mobile launcher.

In actual combat, the Iraqi army usually only takes 10 minutes from preparation to completion of the launch, and then quickly leaves. The Americans paid the price for this.

During the Gulf War, the Iraqi army launched a total of 88 missiles, most of which were in the early stages of the war. Among them, the number launched in the first week of the war accounted for 40%. The mobile system was mainly used flexibly in two areas. The main target in the western region was Israel.

The main targets in the southern region are allied ground forces, Qatar and Bahrain.

There are also some launchers near Baghdad for mobile use. Due to the low hit accuracy and large error of the "Scud" missile, the Allied forces suffered little loss. Only once did an Iraqi missile fall into a US military barracks, killing him.

28 people.

Because the Iraqi army usually launches missiles at night, U.S. warplanes were forced to use infrared and other equipment to search for mobile missile launch systems. A total of 42 launches were found, but only 8 were bombed in time, and the effect was not ideal.

However, although the Americans did not completely intercept the "Scud" missile, they also demonstrated the powerful interception capabilities of the "Patriot missile". This war can be said to be a gorgeous display by the American arms dealers.

Ye Kai also knew very well that after the Gulf War, the Americans made a lot of improvements and follow-up research and development, and elevated the missile interception system plan to a high strategic significance.

"We should talk to the second old man about this matter." Ye Kai was thinking in his heart.
