Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    A large-scale air battle occurred on the front line. Qusay was lying in the underground command hall of the Ministry of National Defense with his clothes fully clothed. After receiving the report, he immediately issued a combat order.

    Since the Israelis dare to take the initiative to invade the airspace of Jordan and Saudi Arabia, then don¡¯t blame yourself for being rude.

    Qusay has never wanted the war to expand in scale, so it has always been limited to the territory of Palestine and has not taken the initiative to attack Israeli territory. Now, since Israel has taken the initiative to attack Arab military facilities, then don't blame Iraq for not  You're welcome!

    After Kusai gave an order, Unit 3, which had already been prepared, slowly drove out of its station and moved towards the firing position.

    Unit 3 is Iraq¡¯s missile force.  This unit was used by Kusai as his trump card unit.

    With the continuous development of Iraq's military industry, the weapons equipped by Unit 3 are also constantly increasing.  From the initial Scud missiles to the current Red Bird series cruise missiles and OTP-23 ballistic missiles, they are used as tactical weapons, while Dongfeng-3, RSD-10, and Red Bird 4 are used as strategic weapons. Iraq¡¯s military industry  Great progress has been made.

    This time, they used Red Bird III cruise missiles and OTP-23 missiles to attack targets in Israel.  Both types of missiles have a range of less than a thousand kilometers, which just covers the entire Israeli territory.

    This time, it is a war initiated by Israel!  Qusay was determined.

    Compared with the original, because these missiles can be produced independently, the number of equipment in Iraq has made a quantitative leap. For example, there are 200 OTP-23 missile launchers, and 600 missiles.  There are multiple missiles, and the Red Bird III missile uses a four-unit launch vehicle, and there are more than 200 of them.

    In this way, an attack wave can fill the land of Israel with smoke. Unfortunately, this launch will make Qusay feel physical pain, and all the money will be spent!

    Following Qusay¡¯s order, two missile launch vehicles each with one hundred units began to move towards the position.

    The attack targets have long been installed in the missiles, and they are all solid missiles, so they can complete the launch mission in a very short time.

    The all-wheel-drive off-road truck arrived at the launch site, removed the camouflage net, and they began to make final preparations before launch.

    At this time, the U.S. reconnaissance satellite happened to pass over Iraq. They were originally preparing to observe the launch of Iraq's so-called carrier rocket. Now, the launch of the carrier rocket was not observed, but the attack of the Iraqi missile force was observed.  Prelude.

    The United States urgently sent an early warning signal to Israel. At the same time, ten sets of Patriot air defense missiles deployed on Israeli land also urgently began to activate.

    As a field air defense system that replaces the Hawk missile, the Patriot air defense missile is equipped in a quadruple square launcher on a towed chassis. It is a product of the American Star Wars program before it was aborted. It is not specifically designed to intercept ballistic missiles.  It was designed, however, to have the capability to intercept ballistic missiles.

    In later generations, the NMD of the United States was realized by the latest model of Patriot missile, PAC-3.

    The Patriot missile system has an advanced AW/MPQ-53 multi-functional phased array radar with a detection range of 150 to 160 kilometers, which can complete various tasks such as search, identification, tracking, irradiation of targets, guided missiles and electronic countermeasures.  The mission is to monitor 100 targets within a 120¡ã sector, simultaneously track 8 targets and transmit mid-course guidance instructions to 3 missiles, conduct terminal guidance for 3 missiles, and intercept 3 incoming targets; therefore, this kind of radar has already begun  To achieve full function, there is no need to match guidance radar and other systems. Moreover, it adopts a composite guidance method of command and semi-active homing, which improves guidance and anti-jamming capabilities.

    When Iraq used ballistic missiles to attack Israeli air force bases, which resulted in the loss of combat effectiveness of their air force, Israel was also looking for solutions to the problem when it suffered from the taste of failure.  The Jews are a nation that is good at thinking, and they will never let the same mistake be made a second time.  Therefore, while maintaining a close relationship with the United States, they purchased this system from the United States that can intercept ballistic missiles.

    And this system is still connected with the American system.

    At the same time as the Patriot missile was activated in an emergency, several DSP missile early warning satellites operating in outer space also started working. They aimed their advanced equipment here, and then, in their sight, appeared  That long flame.

    The infrared telescope with a highly sensitive infrared scanner began to track the tail flame of the ballistic missile launched by Iraq, and transmitted the missile's flight trajectory, flight speed, direction, ballistic inclination and position to the geostationary orbit.A communications satellite on ??.

    The U.S. Space Command Base in Australia and the U.S. Aerospace Command in the United States simultaneously received the missile trajectory parameters sent by the DSP missile early warning satellite and were intensively calculating them.

    All of this is done almost automatically.

    Then, the calculated data was sent via satellite to the Patriot missile site deployed in Israel.

    It is definitely not that simple to intercept ballistic missiles. With a phased array radar, after discovering the target, the opponent will have already hit it before it can be solved.

    Because, by the time the anti-aircraft missile's phased array radar detects it, the opponent has already re-entered the atmosphere, and the warhead will fly down at Schumacher's speed. If we wait until then to solve the problem, we will be late.

    Although the situation in the ascending stage is solved in advance, this will not affect the final result, because the flight process of a ballistic missile follows the laws of ballistics. As long as the initial trajectory is known, then the final state  The location is almost certain.

    However, for this interception method, there is a technology that can easily make it invalid, and that is orbit change!

    If the warhead changes its trajectory midway, the opponent will not be able to intercept it.

    " However, orbit-changing technology can easily invalidate the opponent's interception. However, orbit-changing technology is not simple. Iraq is working hard to solve the problem, but so far, it still has not mastered these technologies.

    However, another technique is much simpler.

    Fake warhead!

    The OTP-23 missile is a single-warhead ballistic missile. However, Iraq has improved it and added something to its warhead.

    When the ballistic missile launched by Iraq arrived in the sky over Israel, ten Patriot air defense missile companies also began their interception operations.

    Each missile company has five launch vehicles and twenty missiles. Therefore, as long as the interception is more thorough, the ballistic missiles fired by Iraq can be intercepted.

    Even if the interception rate is only 50%, Iraq will not be able to achieve their strategic purpose and cannot effectively attack the Israeli air base.

    At more than 100 kilometers away, the phased array radar has captured the target. Next, it is time to launch our own anti-aircraft missiles.

    When they were first deployed, these missiles were mainly deployed in key areas such as Israeli air bases and Tel Aviv. However, the Iraqi Air Force did not cross the border and had been operating in the Gaza area and the West Bank. Therefore, they did not get the opportunity to launch.  .

    ¡°Moreover, these anti-aircraft missiles are designed to restrain Iraq¡¯s ballistic missiles.

    The three targets were locked first. At the same time, the launch vehicle burst out with flames, and the three missiles had already flown into the dark sky.

    The first actual interception of ballistic missiles finally entered the stage of history.

    In the sky, the warhead that had entered the falling stage suddenly collapsed, and a large number of metal wires and platinum metal bars flew out from it.

    Although their shapes are different from warheads, these are not ordinary metal wires and platinum strips. They are coated with a coating that can strongly reflect electromagnetic waves. In this way, when illuminated by the opponent's radar,  The reflection of electromagnetic waves is very similar to that of a real warhead.

    So, suddenly, a field of flowers appeared on the radar vehicle of the Patriot air defense missile company.

    In later generations, the United States spared no effort to build a national ballistic missile defense system. One of the most important technological breakthroughs was the identification of true and false warheads.

    But now, this is just the beginning.

    The missiles flew into the sky, and suddenly they discovered that they were facing not just three targets, but thirty, three hundred, or even more targets.

    They all look the same, but who is the target they locked on before?

    Patriot missiles are confused.

    In later generations, Patriot missiles can kill Scud missiles, because it is only a backward second-generation missile. Even then, various declassified documents prove that the actual interception rate is not that high at all.

    The key reason why Iraq's Scuds did not cause more damage to them was that their missiles had poor accuracy and many of them flew away.

    Now, facing more advanced missiles, they simply do not have enough technology to overcome all difficulties.

    In terms of ballistic missile defense, it is always a bottomless pit. Due to technical limitations, if you want to be able to intercept the missiles fired by the opponent without leakage,?, that's still a long way to go.

    Although Patriot missiles are constantly being launched into the sky, Iraq's ballistic missiles are still falling, and the success rate of interception is less than 10%.

    The Israeli air base suffered another fatal blow.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
