Chapter 1121 Iraq War breaks out
March 19, local time in Iraq!
The eyes of the world are focused on the Middle East, on Turkey and the Middle East.
In Turkey, 450,000 ground joint forces led by the United States have been deployed. In addition, at the Turkish air force base, the air force of the joint forces has also been fully deployed, with fighters, interceptors, attack aircraft, bombers, early warning aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, refueling aircraft, and transport aircraft, which makes people feel numb.
In the Mediterranean, Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea, six US aircraft carrier formations and other allied warships are also in place.
The breath of war can be smelled all over the world.
War is imminent!
In the Iraqi waters, the Iraqi Navy is rapidly deploying various mines to block the sea area, leaving only a safe passage known to the Iraqi Navy.
The gap in strength between the enemy and us is too large. Even the Iraqi Navy knows that it is far from being able to compete with the navy of the joint forces.
It is necessary to prevent the joint forces from landing by deploying mines to prevent the ground forces from being attacked from both sides.
The US aircraft carrier fleet in the Persian Gulf is 200 nautical miles away from the Iraqi coastline, making it impossible for Iraq's land-based anti-ship missiles to attack warships.
The entire Persian Gulf is almost suffocating with tension.
The radars throughout Iraq are turned on, and they have received accurate intelligence about the time when the joint forces will launch an attack.
Not only Iraq has activated the first-level combat readiness, but Persia, Saudi Arabia and other countries have also activated the first-level combat readiness. Who knows if the joint forces will suddenly attack them.
In the Kurdish mountains, Iraqi fortifications, soldiers sleep in their clothes.
Since last year, the fortifications here have been urgently reinforced and built, so that the Iraqi army has built a total of 5 fortifications in the Kurdish mountains, and all the commanding heights have deployed defense forces.
The Kurds who were originally in the Kurdish mountains have been driven to Turkey by the Iraqis.
The artillery positions on the high ground have long been aimed at the roads and bridges in Turkey. The Iraqi army has deployed a large number of mines, all kinds of mines.
The radars have all been activated.
All the radar positions in Iraq are turned on. They know that the joint forces will launch an air strike tonight.
Air strikes are nothing more than planes carrying bombs, missiles, and cruise missiles.
Baghdad, Baghdad in the early morning is quiet, with only some buildings turning on lights.
Baghdad looks beautiful under the night sky.
The air defense positions are ready, and they will defend the sky of Baghdad.
In the early morning.
Turkish Air Force Base, Cyprus Air Force Base.
Military aircraft took off one after another, and then formed a formation in the air and rushed towards Iraq.
In the Mediterranean, Persian Gulf, and Arabian Sea, the carrier-based aircraft on the six US aircraft carriers took off one after another and rushed towards Iraq.
The target this time is Baghdad!
Baghdad is the capital of Iraq and the largest city in Iraq. Naturally, it is also the primary target of the joint forces.
Baghdad sounded the air defense alarm at the first time.
The sleeping citizens of Baghdad hurriedly got up from their beds and went to the basement or nearby air-raid shelters.
In the past few months, Iraq has strengthened its air defense drills in order to reduce casualties in the face of enemy air strikes after the outbreak of the war!
Food and water are available in the air-raid shelters!
The first to engage in fire was not Baghdad, but the border air defense forces.
When the joint air force and carrier-based aircraft entered Iraqi airspace, they were counterattacked by the Iraqi air defense forces.
Although the Americans used electronic jammers to interfere, some radars could not be interfered with by American electronic jammers, and these radars were like clairvoyants and ears.
"Boom~~" An air defense missile hit an F15 fighter, which was hit directly and exploded directly in the air.
"Boom~~" Another F15 fighter was hit by an air defense missile. The red lights in the cockpit of the aircraft flashed wildly, the aircraft was smoking, flying very unsteadily, and the altitude continued to drop.
"FUCK!" The pilot cursed in Chinese. Seeing that he could not fly at this time, the pilot pressed a button and the mount was ejected. However, the pilot chose to parachute in this situation.
Just as the plane arrived in Iraqi airspace, the US military launched cruise missiles at Baghdad.
This time, the US military launched 116 Tomahawk cruise missiles that they would launch within 24 hours.
The Iraqi army did not passively take the beating. The Iraqi missile force launched 120 "Hussein" missiles, 50 "Abbas" missiles, and 20 "Scud D" missiles at the US Air Force Base in Cyprus. 450 "Scud" missiles of various types, 30 Tochka missiles, and 45 Oka missiles were launched at the US Air Force Base in Turkey.
According to a friend, if the missiles are not launched, will they be left in the warehouse to be bombed!
In Baghdad in the early morning, the sky was still dark before it was bright.
"Boom~~" "Boom~~" "Boom~~" "Boom~~"
"Da Da Da Da~~"
Anti-aircraft missiles, anti-aircraft guns, and anti-aircraft machine guns formed an anti-aircraft firepower network, constantly intercepting aircraft and missiles, and aircraft and missiles were constantly intercepted.
But it is impossible to have a 100% interception rate.
Bombs and missiles fell in Baghdad. Explosions were heard everywhere in Baghdad. There were earth-shaking explosions everywhere. Many places in the city center were filled with flames and smoke.
Iraqi Air Force pilots took off in fighters, interceptors, attack planes, and bombers, heading for their targets. Some went to intercept the air force of the coalition forces, some went directly to Turkey, and some went directly to the Arabian Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.
In the air, Iraqi Air Force pilots flew planes and fought with the planes of the coalition forces.
The two sides engaged in an air battle.
The planes of both sides were constantly hit, or exploded in the air, or the planes were severely damaged and the pilots chose to parachute when they fell.
The pilots of the coalition forces air force were more skilled and shot down more Iraqi Air Force planes.
However, the air force of the coalition forces had to face the threat of ground-based air defense missiles.
"Boom~~" A US tanker, flying relatively slowly, was hit by an air defense missile and exploded in the air, forming a huge fireball.
Thousands of Iraqi Air Force planes fought according to the command.
Some Iraqi pilots actually had to fly planes to fight after just a few months of training.
This time, there was no such thing as Saddam ordering the plane to be buried, nor was there any such thing as Iraqi generals being bribed by the US CIA.
Iraq, which has strengthened its air force and air defense forces, was not beaten, but performed well.
The powerful air defense firepower intercepted a large number of cruise missiles and aircraft.
The Iraqi Air Force is fighting bravely with the Joint Forces Air Force.
When Saddam's radar detected that the Joint Forces had launched an attack, he immediately moved to the underground command center.
After all, he knew that many of the buildings where he was would become the focus of the first wave of attacks.
