Is Saddam going to cry?

No. At this time, Saddam was not sleepy at all, but looked at the movement trajectory of these fighter jets on the radar screen in front of him with a smile on his face.

"How many air defense forces can cover them? Are the S-300 missiles ready?" The president felt that he should test the missiles provided by the Soviets.

These missiles were placed in the most tightly defended areas of Baghdad, and they could have attacked dozens of kilometers away. However, the President did not.

The anti-aircraft artillery troops have cut off the retreat of the US Air Force. Of course, if they detour, they will definitely not be cut off. There are dense air defense fire arrangements to the south.

"President, we are not suitable for using air defense missiles like the S-300 now, it is too wasteful. We have a large number of Houyi air defense missiles. At such a distance, we should use these missiles to kill the US military!"

Hashem suggested.

For them, the Chinese missiles were more reliable. Although the Soviets' technology was better than that of China, this thing had not been tested in practice.

From the beginning of the war to the present, those who have established magical achievements have actually been the weapons and equipment of the Chinese.

"It is not suitable to open fire on them now. That area is our factory area. Once we expose air defense firepower, the Americans will focus on this area. The hidden hangar we built and the highway that can serve as an airport runway will be bombed in the air..." Liu Suxue shook his head.

It is to avoid the US aerial bombing. So in recent years, when Iraq was vigorously building factories, many downtime hangars were built in these factory areas. The outside looked like the factory workshops and buildings, and it was impossible to see clearly without looking inside.

Even if the roads outside the factory and the internal roads are very flat, who can say what?

The most common thing in Iraq is oil. Is it short of oil-related things such as asphalt?

As for the territory? The suburbs of Baghdad lack land? The roads between the factory areas were originally built very wide.

"What's more, now is not the best time. Today we have killed hundreds of Americans, most of them are their most advanced fighters. So, they will definitely launch air strikes on Baghdad, and these fighters may be just like our Air Force fighters to attract them!"

"Since they have been attracted, there are hundreds of them!" Saddam was a little dissatisfied.

He doesn't like anyone to be in charge of his command.

"President, you look at hundreds of fighter jets, and only a few of them actually come in. The others are lingering in areas outside the airspace of Baghdad. If we expose the air defense positions and face more air strikes in the face of more bombers, how can we deal with it?" Liu Suxue's words made Saddam dispel his mind.

In the Khalid Military City, the headquarters saw satellite images showing hundreds of fighter jets rushing towards Baghdad and was about to cry.

Yes, the American pilots predicted that Saddam was going to cry, but Saddam laughed.

The command officials who were forgotten by them were really about to cry.

"Commander, they have turned off the radio call..." The words of the communications consultant undoubtedly made them even more desperate.

Fortunately, these fighter jets scattered before the ground anti-aircraft artillery fire was opened on Baghdad. Although the ground fire continued, there was only one area in the south, and the other areas had no air defense firepower at all. The small green light spots representing the number of US fighter jets in the sky did not disappear.

"Try to do everything possible to contact them and get them back!" Schwartzkopf had not rested for a long time, and his whole mental state was very poor.

"No, their fuel will tell them when they should come back. They are reconnaissance of Baghdad's air defense firepower network... This area belongs to the suburbs of Baghdad and has no valuable core targets! So, they have not arranged much air defense firepower..." Their eyes kept staring at the images sent back by the reconnaissance planes in the sky.

The entire formation was scattered very wide, surrounding Baghdad.

Other fighter jets were obviously executing their order to block the airspace of Baghdad.

"There is no valuable target? Their fighter planes disappeared in this area!" Schwartzkopf obviously disagreed with this view.

He is in a poor mental state and consumes a lot of physical strength. He speaks a little weakly at this time.

"Our reconnaissance aircraft had not discovered their fighter fleet before. This was obviously to use their familiar terrain at night to fly against the ground. The radiation from the ground can effectively interfere with our detection signals. The purpose of the Iraqis is to attract us to bomb their factory area and suburban towns..." Powell would not believe that the Iraqis could secretly hide fighter planes in the surrounding factory area.

After all, more than ten kilometers away from here is the military airport in Baghdad.

It is impossible for them to stop the fighter planes around the airport, but to abandon the airport without using it.

Although he had completely lost trust in the CIA, he didn't believe it. Even such a thing could not be done. If there was no intelligence at all, what else could this be done?

"Where is the Nighthawk formation? How long does it take to missile Baghdad? How long does it take? Can it be air bombed on Baghdad before dawn?" Powell asked about their stealth fighter formation.

f117, from the original plan, was to launch the first wave of strikes on the Iraqi capital Baghdad.

The 37th TFW company of the US Air Force is under three squadrons. It is equipped with a total of 59 F117 and F117 A stealth strategic bombers.

Among them, the 415th Squadron was under 22 F117 stealth bombers, the 416th Squadron was under 22 F117a stealth bombers, and the remaining 417 Squadron was itself a dress-up training squadron under the 37th Company. At this time, it was not arranged to the battlefield in the Middle East.

44 stealth fighters were deployed here for several months, and even longer ago, the Americans asked Saudi Arabia to build a new stealth base in Haimis Mushet, and all the fighters were parked in the reinforced hangar.

Every day, these stealth bombers need to go through a mission to simulate bombing Iraq.

It is mainly used for these fighter pilots to get familiar with Iraq and avoid accidents.

On that night, these huge stealth fighters, led by the huge aerial tanker, flew quickly towards Iraq.

Stealth fighter jets were first put into actual combat on a large scale in this world. In the Panama War, the F117 was only tested in actual combat in a small number, and there was no major battle at all. This time, the US attacked Iraq and gave them high hopes.

At night, this fighter with the advantages of stealth, subsonic cruise, super maneuverability and super information can be minimized! During the day, you can see far with the naked eye.

Only by using such fighter jets to conduct precise strikes on Baghdad's radar stations and command centers, Baghdad will become blind, and the air defense system can only shoot blindly in the sky. In this way, it can easily detect the most tightly defended Baghdad's defense. Then, during the day, the fighter jet group can use precisely guided air-to-surface missiles to strike accurately.

Therefore, whether it is the original combat plan or this combat plan, these fighter jets have been placed with high expectations.

Therefore, Powell hopes that these fighter jets can complete their mission before dawn.

"The border has not yet arrived, and it is expected to be one hour to reach the designated airspace. Refuel before the border, our tanker formation returns, and the Nighthawk Squadron performs aerial bombing of Baghdad and Fallujah..." The staff officer told Powell.

"It is only a straight line distance of 1,060 kilometers from the Hemismushet base to Baghdad. It takes such a long time?" Powell frowned.

Previously, the bombers were prepared to start at 12 a.m.

The radar station in Nuhab was already destroyed when the war began. The 24th Mass Infantry Division occupied the Iraqi border town and became a logistics transfer transportation base. In this way, the helicopter troops could effectively support the armored forces in front.

The original bomber formation, under such circumstances, had to carry out bombing of Baghdad.

The air defense firepower over Iraq is already worrying. Now the 415th Squadron in the base has lost three fighter jets during the day. Although the headquarters has not announced the national situation, the entire team has not seen their colleagues or the fighter jets sent back. It is impossible for them to have no idea in their hearts.

If it weren't for the Iraqi Air Force's sneak attack, Powell would even have prepared to let the bombing take place later.

Iraq's radar system can definitely see these stealth fighters.

The design of this bomber is not very mature.

"Commander, we have just issued the order less than an hour. Moreover, in order to achieve better results in the first wave of strikes, our bombers carry a large number of ammunition, so they need to refuel at the border through aerial refueling machines. In the current situation, refueling should be underway."

Indeed, at this time, at this time, the famous Nighthawk Squadron, the world's first practical stealth fighter, was slowly leaping towards the border area.
