The Saar-5 is just a frigate of more than a thousand tons, and in order to integrate various weapons and equipment on such a small frigate, it inevitably leads to an upward shift in the center of gravity. In order to solve this problem, Israel The simplest method is adopted, and the upper layer is made of aluminum alloy!
Aluminum alloy looks more beautiful and is light in weight. However, one of its biggest disadvantages is that its ignition point is too low. To put it simply, as long as it is lit, it will burn.
During the Falklands War, the British Type 42 destroyer HMS Sherfield was burned down because of this defect. After that, all warships abandoned aluminum alloy and continued to use cold steel when building them.
However, the Saar-5 class continues to use this material. This is also a measure taken as a last resort to reduce the weight of the upper layer to avoid the risk of overturning during high-speed turns.
As a result, when Barak could no longer track the missile that was making a snake maneuver and lost its target, and the anti-ship missile got into the belly of the Saar-5, a disaster suddenly struck.
The semi-armor-piercing warhead with a 165 kilogram charge almost tore the Saar-5 into two pieces. In the violent explosion, the upper building burst into flames.
The Israeli naval personnel showed fearlessness and fought the fire for half an hour. However, they still had no choice but to leave in a small boat before the Saar-5 sank.
Thanks to the automated system, there were only 70 naval soldiers on board the Saar-5. Twenty people were lost in the explosion and fire-fighting, and the remaining 50 people left safely.

At 8:30, the Arab Space Company announced that due to launch window issues, their launch vehicle would be test-fired at 8:40.
This news caused the United States to be in a hurry, because they adjusted the orbits of the satellites and prepared to allow enough satellites to pass over the sky at ten o'clock. This resulted in that at eight forty, they did not have a reconnaissance satellite. Will pass by there!
However, what is quite impressive is that a new reconnaissance plane they have at this time will happen to fly over there at that time!
That new reconnaissance aircraft is the new American project that has been rumored in the outside world for several years, the Dawn Goddess. Now, it has completed all test flights. After the sR-71 is retired, it will assume the reconnaissance mission. It is now undergoing flight training, flying from its base in the Nevada desert to an atoll in the Pacific, and then to Scotland. Refuel and return to the United States in the evening.
This kind of reconnaissance aircraft can reach a speed of up to Mach 7. Therefore, after this kind of reconnaissance aircraft enters service, it can fly anywhere in the sky without worrying about being shot down, because now, all missiles cannot fly below Mach 4.
"Iraq is very accurate, but Qusay is not omnipotent. They monitored all the American reconnaissance satellites overhead, but they were unable to learn about the United States' new stealth high-speed reconnaissance aircraft.
However, it is precisely because of this that the United States did not participate in this war in the end, and chose to let Israel take a step back and maintain a peaceful situation.
In a huge factory building of the Arab Space Company, final preparations are now being made.
If you want to launch a launch vehicle, you need to select a launch window and conduct various tests at the same time. However, when you launch a ballistic missile, there are not so many considerations. When the superiors decide when to launch, then launch!
Since it was developed on the basis of the Pioneer ballistic missile, that missile was fifteen meters long without a warhead. Now a third pole has been added and a payload has been added, so the total length of the missile has been extended to nineteen point five. meters long, and the missile launch vehicle imported from the Soviet Union was not long enough, so for the time being, it was first equipped on a tractor produced in Iraq.
Even so, it has enough maneuverability to pull this missile back and forth across the Middle East.
Now, pulling the missile, they slowly walked out, preparing to enter the open space next to the launch site. They did not use the launch tower of the launch vehicle, which was specially prepared for liquid launch vehicles. This launch was also a test Check whether the transmitter is working properly. Anyway, when the Americans discovered it, they could only speculate on the initial launch location based on the missile's trajectory.
Just when Iraq made the announcement, the launch vehicle came to the launch site outside, right next to the launch tower. Its hydraulic legs stretched out, and then the missile began to slowly rise.
In the sky, a huge thing that looks like alien science fiction is flying over the Mediterranean Sea.
If you are at an altitude of 35,000 meters, you may see this alien-like product. Its plane is a huge triangle with a sweep angle of 75 degrees.??Strong body. On the side is a huge streamlined body shaped like an eagle's beak. Two combined cycle engines extend rearward along the length of the aircraft on the belly and are closely integrated with the delta wing, forming a huge inclined surface at the front and bottom of the fuselage.
This unique triangle itself is a lifting surface, which is more beneficial to subsonic, transonic and hypersonic flight. On the trailing edge of the triangle, there are two smaller full-motion double vertical tails, which play a role in stabilizing and controlling the aircraft.
At this time, it was flying from an altitude of 35,000 meters, and the reconnaissance equipment had begun to work normally, scanning the ground below.
Suddenly, a special flame appeared in its sight. That flame only started burning in the air.
Like other Soviet missiles, their favorite application is cold launch. They first use compressed air to eject the missile and then ignite it. In this way, they can avoid designing complex exhaust channels. The disadvantage is that if it is in the air If the ignition is not successful, then the big guy will fall down and explode again.
If it is a launch vehicle, then it must be ignited on the ground and then launched into space.
This kind of guy that only ignites in the air is definitely a ballistic missile.
¡°Moreover, the reconnaissance aircraft not only photographed the missile launch scene, but also the large tractor-trailer on the position, various support equipment, and the rocket launch tower next to it, all were photographed.
After igniting and taking off, according to the preset instructions, its first-stage solid motor ignited, pushing the missile to accelerate and leave the dense atmosphere. Then, the second-stage engine ignited, and the entire missile continued to accelerate. When the second stage fell off, When the third pole was re-ignited, it also performed a steering action and began to continue flying eastward.
The third-pole solid propeller fell into eastern Iran.
When the three-pole relay is completed, the speed of the warhead has reached the speed of launching an artificial satellite, 7.9 kilometers per second.
There is no difference between artificial satellites and intercontinental missiles in the first half, but they are different in the second half. One continues to fly around the earth and becomes an artificial satellite, and the other falls and returns to the atmosphere.
This launch was a complete success. At this time, the first part of the ballistic missile carried a small scientific research satellite independently developed by Iraq. It only weighed 700 kilograms. The satellite's entry into orbit marked the beginning of Iraq's Finally, we have the ability to launch satellites independently.
However, the Americans would never think that Iraq was launching an artificial satellite this time. The Dawn Goddess successfully completed the reconnaissance mission, but the result was something they absolutely did not want. The director of the CIA held those photos, his hands even trembled a little, the intercontinental missile , How many technical difficulties need to be overcome! How did Iraq do it?
He already had a premonition that the attitude of the United States was about to change. For the United States, when you don¡¯t have a certain weapon, it will slander you and exaggerate the threat you pose. But when you have it, it will remain silent and will never say how many weapons you have. Awesome, of course, they know it very well in their hearts.
¡°Iraq not only has intercontinental ballistic missiles, but it seems that they are also launched using mobile roads!
On his way to the White House, in Tel Aviv, Israeli senior officials were also discussing strategies.
"We have now reached the most dangerous time. Now, the Arabs are heading towards Galilee and Jerusalem. Jerusalem is an integral part of Israel and our capital. We must not make any more mistakes!" National Defense Minister Moses said.
Rabin's expression was also very serious: "Yes, we must not retreat now. Iraq has been delaying the peace talks we proposed, and the conditions they proposed are also unacceptable to us. That will give up our previous efforts." Proceeds of the war.¡±
Although Rabin knows that if Israel wants to finally take root in this land, blind use of force will not work. However, he wants peace talks, but they are definitely not the peace talks like now. When Israel has firmly occupied a dominant position and the surrounding Arab countries will not pose any threat to Israel, they can still moderately return some land to the Palestinians. , to settle the dispute between the two parties as a fait accompli, allowing them to accept the current outcome.
In later generations, after the surrounding Arab countries were no longer able to raise weapons against Israel, Israel showed its sincerity for peace and withdrew from part of the land. However, they still had to station troops in key locations.
And now, the surrounding Arab countries are watching with eager eyes. Signing such an alliance is simply a shame for Israel. Needless to say, Israel still has combat effectiveness. Even if the Israeli army is crippled, they are not willing to??Agree to those conditions! Exit Jerusalem, their holy city! If Rabin agrees, he will completely lose his status in the hearts of the military and the people. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
