Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Rhino 1 main battle tank became a roadblock. When two NHT106s appeared, their artillery fired up. Perhaps the gunners were too sloppy and rough. The bombardment in a hurry did not follow the instructions of the fire control system, but completely  Based on the previous method of firing the T5569, neither of the two guns hit the target.  But one of the shots hit near a NIP multifunctional infantry vehicle, damaging the infantry fighting vehicle.

    Although the NIP has relatively good defense among wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, it is absolutely impossible to withstand the NHT106 tank gun. As long as it takes a hit, it will definitely be over, so the Saudi army is very nervous.

    Of course, the Saudis were not completely unprepared. The weapon station of one of their infantry fighting vehicles was equipped with an anti-armor missile Red Arrow. After locking one of the tanks, they immediately launched a Red Arrow missile.  The missile quickly hit one of the tanks after being fired. Compared with the Hongjian-73 missile, the Red Arrow is larger and has stronger armor-piercing capabilities. Although the NHT106 has good defense, it cannot withstand a fire.  The power of bullets.

    Although an Iraqi tank was destroyed in one blow, the Saudi side still used all infantry fighting vehicles after all. They did not dare to stay within the enemy's 2m range. After receiving the rescued Marines, they immediately relied on their high maneuverability  Sexuality is withdrawn to the periphery.  The NIP's maximum highway speed can reach more than 100 kilometers per hour, and its cross-country speed is also 6 kilometers per hour, which is much faster than ordinary main battle tanks.

    How could the Rhino 1 tank that had just bombarded them let go and they withdrew safely? It immediately raised its muzzle and prepared to shoot at them again. This time the gunner was more cautious, using the more advanced fire control system of the NHT106 tank to prepare.  One hit.

    The multifunctional infantry vehicle can run fast, but it cannot run faster than artillery shells. All the Saudi soldiers are praying that the Iraqi tanks will not hit them. As long as they can break out of this distance and enter 26 meters away, the danger will drop suddenly.

    At this moment, something suddenly fell from the sky, and then there was a loud bang. The NHT106 tank that was preparing to attack was blown up on the top of the vehicle. Small weapons were used to resist the Saudi infantry fighting vehicles around here.  The Iraqis did not understand what was going on at all, and watched helplessly as their own main battle tanks were blown up.

    In fact, even some Saudis didn¡¯t understand what saved him. The operational commander of the Saudi National Guard who participated in the rescue saw the aircraft that launched the air-launched missile just now.

    ¡°Is it a Chinese drone?¡±

    Before this, many people have heard that China has developed some large drones for war. Some people also speculated that these drones have attack capabilities, but China has not verified similar claims.  After the Gulf War began, the Chinese Air Force deployed a certain number of drones in Saudi Arabia. The Saudi military was aware of this, but did not take it seriously.

    But today it seems that China¡¯s drones are far from being as simple as people think.  The drone just appeared out of nowhere, and then threw an AR-l drone air-to-ground missile at the Rhino tank with great accuracy, accurately launching it from the weakest roof of the tank.  Wear it.

    This is a Pterosaur UAV. Its main role in the Air Force is now to carry out reconnaissance behind enemy lines and target positioning and guidance. Because its radar reflection cross-section is quite small and it can fly at relatively low altitudes, it is difficult to be detected by the enemy.  Fang noticed.  Wing Loong UAVs are not commonly used for strike missions like this because their payloads are relatively small, and only relatively lightweight missiles such as AR-l can be mounted on a pair of pylons.  In terms of efficiency, it is difficult to compare with manned fighter jets such as the JJ and Qiang.

    " However, its strikes are extremely concealed and sudden, so it is easier to accomplish some special tasks.

    After the Chinese army heard about Saudi Arabia¡¯s surprise attack on Khafji to rescue the US Marine Corps, it took the initiative to dispatch two Wing Loong drones for intelligence collection and cover work, so that after the Saudi army contacted the enemy, it could immediately eliminate the danger.

    The drone that had just knocked out a tank did not stop there. Instead, it chose a new target, a small building guarded by more than a dozen Iraqi soldiers. The Pterosaur drone dropped another one.  The AR-l missile razed this small building to the ground. Although not all the Iraqi soldiers inside would die, it completely eliminated this firepower point.

    The appearance of the Pterodactyl gave the Iraqi army the illusion that a large-scale air strike by multinational aviation forces was coming. They no longer dared to send tanks and armored vehicles to pursue the Saudi infantry fighting vehicles. Instead, they hurriedly asked the soldiers to find their own cover and  The tanks were hidden and their engines turned off to dissipate heat, fearing that subsequent strikes would destroy these tanks.

    Another Wing Loong also took advantage of this panic and threw out all two AR-Ls on the pylon, causing the casualties of more than 20 Iraqi soldiers and the destruction of a Type 6 armored personnel carrier.

    The Pterosaur, which had completed its attack and cover mission, did not withdraw from here. Instead, it continued to patrol outside Khafji, providing relevant intelligence to the multinational forces.

    Twenty minutes after the rescue team quickly evacuated Khafji, the multinational forceThe massive air raid finally came.

    The first one to drop two 20-kilogram bombs on the Iraqi army stationed in Khafji was the Saudi Air Force's Tian B Flying Leopard fighter-bomber. In another dimension, the main force of Saudi Arabia's participation in the Gulf War was the Tornado fighter bomber, but in this plane  Saudi Arabia has become a loyal user of Chinese military aircraft, so not only did the Tornado disappear, but even the B15 it purchased earlier was sold to Japan.  This batch of Tian B will actually return to China after the war for upgrading and improvement, and become a complete version of the F9 Shadow Leopard fighter.

    More than 20 Clouded Leopard fighter bombers carrying eight or nine tons of ammunition bombed any place in Khafji that looked like it was hiding enemy troops, tanks and armored vehicles. Thanks to the deal with China  China often gives away some weapons along with its aircraft, and Saudi Arabia reserves a large number of LTFT series guided bombs.  Especially in order to cope with the war, Saudi Arabia also urgently ordered 26 various types of guided bombs and air-launched anti-surface missiles from China.

    Even though Khafji is a home city, the Saudi Air Force has no intention of being soft at all. Compared with the U.S. Navy's carrier-based aircraft, which pay attention to efficiency and cost, the Saudi Air Force does not pay so much attention to throwing bombs.  He threw down the guided bomb worth tens of thousands of dollars without hesitation, not caring whether it was worth it or not.

    After the Saudi Air Force launched an air attack on this small town with the momentum of destroying Khafji, several Chinese warships also appeared in the sea outside Khafji, namely two 052 destroyers and 54HI frigates.  The three ships came to the waters off Khafji in response to Saudi Arabia's request and came specially to provide artillery support from the sea to the Arab coalition forces.  The 052 is equipped with a 13Um gun, and the 0545 is equipped with a 10Umm gun. Although the number is not large, the gun fire control system is better, and the strike effect is also very good.

    The two Pterosaur drones have been hovering at a relatively low altitude, looking for traces of the enemy through TV imaging. When it is determined that they are enemies, the operators of the Pterosaur drones will send the attack coordinates to the navy warship.

    The captain of the destroyer Kunming ordered: "Weapons officer, this is the bridge, one round of fire, fire at 10 yards from the bow."

    "The weapons officer understands and calls the surface combat system."

    "The water surface is clear, and the naval gun hits the track B1437. One high-explosive bomb is fired, and it fires 10 yards away from the forward direction."

    The naval gun shells equipped with high-explosive warheads fell on the buildings, immediately destroying the Arab buildings into rubble. The two HTB armored vehicles hidden in the shadows were also injured by the explosion, and were hit by the collapsing rubble and lost.  The ability to respond immediately.

    Immediately, more intensive naval gun attacks began. The firing rate of the main guns of both destroyers and frigates was quite considerable, so what limited them was actually the acquisition of the target position. However, in this case, they often chose to attack at the same location.  Fire a few more shots at the target to completely destroy the enemy.

    Under the double blow from the sky and the sea, almost half of the small town of Khafji was destroyed. Although the Iraqi soldiers hiding here were not completely wiped out, they suffered heavy losses.  During the entire air raid, they lost 70% of their tanks and armored vehicles, and hundreds of people were killed and injured. It became almost impossible to defend the newly captured city.

    In addition to bombing Khafji, China¡¯s air strikes also carried out merciless attacks on several Iraqi ground forces that were gathering in Kuwait.  When these Iraqi troops are hiding in various bunkers and urban buildings, it is difficult to eliminate them all in air strikes. However, when they need to take action and have to be pulled out for assembly, it gives the Air Force an excellent opportunity to  They hit hard.

    The air strike from the Shadow Leopard Aviation Group arrived first, followed by the six Vindicator stealth attack aircraft that took off from the Shangri-La, and finally the Thor bomber force that came all the way from Kashgar.  In this air strike, Chinese military aircraft used a large number of cluster bombs, cluster bombs, fragmentation bombs and other types of bombs that can cause serious damage to personnel. According to subsequent statistics, this bombing killed at least 1041 Iraqi soldiers and caused serious damage to personnel.  Three times as many Iraqi soldiers were disabled.

    Due to the unscrupulous nature of cluster bombs, after multinational forces reoccupied this area, it became clear that various unexploded bombs had caused accidents. In the end, the Chinese engineering troops took the initiative to completely eliminate this crisis.

    The performance of the huge H-B Thor bomber in this air raid was also impressive. Unlike the B6, which basically drops iron bombs on a blanket, the H-B used a large number of joint strike smart bombs. After being dropped at high altitude, these  The bomb attacked according to the input attack coordinates, causing a huge blow to the Iraqi armored forces.  A single strike by four H-bombers destroyed 22 Iraqi tanks and armored vehicles.

    This air strike nearly destroyed the strength of a division of Iraq's forces in Kuwait, making everyone from all walks of life realize how terrifying air strikes under the control of air supremacy in war in the new era can be.
