    When multinational forces began to launch large-scale air strikes against Iraq, Iraq did not sit back and wait for death.  Iraq also has its own trump card, which is naturally not biological and chemical weapons, but their theater surface-to-surface ballistic missiles, Hussein missiles.

    Many people tend to believe that during the Gulf War, the Patriot air defense missiles that stole the show intercepted Scud B missiles launched by Iraq. In fact, this is inaccurate.  What Iraq actually launched was their own Hussein short-range ballistic missile, which was improved based on the Scud B missile.

    The reason why this kind of missile is considered by some people to be Scud (C0) is because this missile is highly similar to Scud. The difference is that the combustion time of the rocket engine has been extended, and the explosives in the warhead have been reduced to four times that of the original version.  One, thereby increasing its range from less than 30 kilometers before improvement to 60 kilometers, but its power is much smaller than that of Scud B.

    The reason why Iraq modified the Scud into the Hussein is because only the range of the Hussein missile is sufficient to deter neighboring countries such as Iran and Israel. Although the Scud is powerful, it cannot reach the enemy.

    On the second day of the air strike, the Iraqi missile force launched six Hussein missiles at the important Israeli cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa. Originally, Saddam hoped to launch eight missiles, but before the launch, two missiles were  The launch site was discovered and then destroyed by a multinational air strike group, which ultimately eased the intensity of the attack.

    The report of the attack was submitted to Qi Yiming's desk. Although Qi Yiming was not in the war zone, he was informed of every detail of the war, and if he had any ideas or requests, they would be conveyed directly to Qi Yiming through special channels.  China dispatched troops to the war zone.

    "Saddam wants to draw the fire of Israel and burn himself, while also burning the Islamic Alliance in the multinational forces." Qi Yiming smiled and said to Ye Yaozi beside him.

    Ye Yaozi nodded and said: "Indeed, before the war started, countries such as Syria, Morocco, and Egypt all mentioned that if the Israeli Defense Forces were present in the coalition, they would withdraw from the multinational force. The hatred between Muslim countries and Jewish countries has not yet existed.  It's completely clear. Saddam's skills can't be said to be very clever. Not to mention whether Israel will join the war under the pressure of the United States. Those who join the war are just some miscellaneous minions. As long as we are still there, the United States will still be there.  Now, the fate of Iraq has been decided, and Israel is also very combat-effective. Maybe one Israeli army can surpass the sum of all the Islamic State troops that have withdrawn. "

    Qi Yiming said: "Israel's decision-making, even if it is pressured by the United States, they have a lot of autonomy, and they are not the kind of country that can completely control it. If Shamir (Israeli Prime Minister) cannot withstand domestic pressure, eventually  The Arab coalition will definitely not be able to sustain the retaliatory action against Iraq. Countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, which have their own dangers, will continue to fight, but Egypt and Syria will definitely withdraw their troops, perhaps in terms of combat effectiveness.  The reduction is not large, but the reduction in morale and organizational chaos may also lead to serious consequences.¡±

    Ye Yaozi flicked another report with her slender fingers and chuckled: "So the American Patriot missile is unreliable. They pulled it away before the war, but after the war started, a Hussein missile  It was not intercepted either. Look at this, after Iraq attacked Tel Aviv and Haifa, it also launched two missiles towards Dhahran and Riyadh in Saudi Arabia. The red wine we deployed in Saudi Arabia shot down the missile targeting Dhahran.  The Thorn 2 missile purchased by Saudi Arabia from us also shot down the one attacking their capital, with a 100% interception rate."

    Qi Yiming was not surprised at all and said confidently: "The technical level of both Red Flag and Thorns 2 is much better than that of the American Patriot-L. It should not be a surprise that they can complete the interception mission. However, we should not be too careless. The interception theater  The job of ballistic missiles is not easy. There is no such thing as perfect accuracy. Accidents will always happen. Now we only hit two out of two shots. When can we show off two hundred hits and two hundred hits?"

    Ye Yaozi curled his lips, put down the report and said: "Look at you, you look like an old scholar, it's boring. If you ask me, why don't we say hello to the Israelis and deploy two to three HQ-9 missile battalions to Israel to assist them?  missile defense."

    Qi Yiming wiped cold sweat and said: "You are clearly planning to slap Americans in the face."

    Ye Yaozi smiled sinisterly and said: "At this time, strength should speak for itself. Our products perform better than American products. Pragmatic Jews will definitely invest heavily in buying our Thorn series missiles or Red Flag series missiles. They  The amount invested in this every year is not a small amount.¡±

    "Besides, at this time we are trying to maintain the stability of the multinational force. What a good excuse this is." Ye Yaozi said with a smile.

    Qi Yiming shook his head helplessly and said:??Indeed, if the Americans refuse, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the Israelis. If the Israelis really like our anti-aircraft missiles, they will find a way sooner or later. But if the United States agrees, it is very likely that they will lose a piece of them.  Big cake, really a standard dilemma.

    As Qi Yiming and Ye Yaozi expected, Barak, the deputy chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces, was on a visit to the United States at this time. When he learned that his country had suffered a missile attack from Iraq, hundreds of people were injured and a large number of houses were damaged.  After the loss, Barak met urgently with Powell, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff.  While Barak was waiting for Powell's meeting, Iraq once again launched several Hussein missiles towards Israel. This time, the US Patriots successfully intercepted an Iraqi missile, and the entire process was captured on video. The excited Americans  People immediately grasped the propaganda effect and prepared to hype it up. It was also the best advertisement for patriots.

    But only the Israelis themselves know that although the number of missiles fired by Iraq that hit Israeli residential areas is very small, it is actually caused by the poor circular probability error of the Iraqi missile (106 meters), and only one missile actually has an effect.  It seems that the success rate of interception is relatively high, but the real interception rate is terrible, and it has caused a large number of injuries to Israelis and the death of several civilians.

    "Mr. Chairman, the Iraqi missile attacks have greatly dampened the self-esteem and morale of the Israelis. Our soldiers looked at the sky and gritted their teeth. Our people bandaged the wounds of their loved ones and looked at the destroyed homes with tears streaming down their faces. This situation has  This cannot go on any longer, and Israel cannot tolerate it any longer. I hope Mr. President and the United States can come to an end on this matter, because if the United States cannot do so, Israel will take its own approach to defend the security of its country and its people.  "Barack was so furious that he slapped a copy of the plan in front of Powell.

    When Powell picked up the report and read it, his heart almost jumped out of his chest. This plan was drawn up by the Israel Defense Forces to launch a joint land and air attack in the western desert of Iraq to destroy the surface-to-surface missile launchers and launch sites threatened by the Iraqi team.  .  Once this matter becomes a reality, the "broad alliance" temporarily formed by the US military may collapse, which is something the Americans absolutely do not want to see.

    "Please calm down, Mr. Deputy Chief of Staff, as you can see, this afternoon, the Patriot missiles we deployed in Israel have played a role and successfully intercepted an Iraqi missile, so the situation is completely under our control.  Yes, as the war progresses, we will better use this advanced weapon to defend our allies. Moreover, once Iraq launches an attack, our air strikes will immediately discover them and destroy them. As long as we survive this.  In difficult times, Iraq's attacks will become weaker as time goes by

    Barak shook his head and said: "You still let us continue to wait? Waiting will only cause greater casualties and a blow to our confidence and honor. For the Israelis, it is intolerable to allow others to threaten their lives in our defense zone.  Moreover, it is obvious that the performance of the Patriot is far from our expectations. As far as we know, the Chinese Thorn 2 missile and the Red Flag missile carrying out the same mission in Saudi Arabia have an interception rate of 6 and the other has not yet fired.  By the way, if we trust, we should trust such missiles instead of the Patriots who faced dozens of missiles and only intercepted one.

    "Also, if we don't take out the Scud missiles, Saddam may use them to launch chemical warheads during your ground attack.  They could launch nerve gas or biological weapons warheads against our cities.  If this happens, you should know what we will do"

    Barak's gloominess made Powell feel a little shuddering. Of course he knew what Israel would do. If chemical weapons hit any Israeli city, then Baghdad and other Iraqi cities would immediately face an Israeli nuclear attack. This consequence would be unwelcome to Americans.  Not willing to deal with it.

    "Israel's leading assault troops are ready to attack Iraq's Scud missile launch sites at any time; Israeli aircraft will fly over Jordanian airspace or pass through Saudi airspace to attack Iraqi facilities. The entire defense force has entered level one combat readiness. We have  It¡¯s a strong bow that has been strung, and it¡¯s time to wait for the right time.¡±

    Powell has nothing to worry about anymore. He absolutely cannot watch his lobbying fail while Israel launches massive retaliation against Iraq. Now that China and the United States are working day and night to eliminate threats, even if Israel joins in, will it be of substantial help?  Powell doesn¡¯t think so.
