Chapter 360 Future air strikes, the world of precision-guided weapons
Khomeini braved the bitter cold wind and came to Tehran Air Force Base in person.
What was presented to him was already ruins, and all the fighter planes and the hopes of the Iranian Air Force were buried here.
He pressed his hand weakly on his chest, and silently recited in his heart, Allah, Almighty Allah, do you really want to make those who blaspheme your doctrine rampant?
No, absolutely not! It is absolutely the right choice to advocate using Islamic teachings to govern the country. Even if you pay a great price for it, it is worth it!
"Dear leader, your son's relics, we have only found so many." said the captain of the guard, Muhsin Rafik Dust, and handed over something.
Khomeini took it and was a deformed pistol. This pistol was brought by Ahmed to protect him on the eve of Islamic State. Since then, this pistol has been with Ahmed and has survived many ups and downs.
Unexpectedly, as Ahmed arrived at the Kingdom of Heaven, the pistol also became this way.
Khomeini didn't speak, but his heart was surging.
"Has the loss been counted this time?" Khomeini asked after a long time.
"There are more than 3,000 people in our base, and there are only more than 800 survivors now. More than 30 of our 80 pilots have been found. We are searching under the ruins, and there should be many survivors." Mohsin said: "There are four squadrons of F-14 fighters with combat capabilities in this base, all of which have been destroyed. There are also two squadrons of F-4 fighters and two squadrons of F-5 fighters, which are probably no longer available. The oil depots here have been destroyed. The air defense missile positions and air defense radar positions have lost their due capabilities."
This base is responsible for defending Tehran. Therefore, the air force is the most powerful. The repaired Tomcat fighter jets have been arranged here. The war has been fought until now. The Iranian Air Force is in good condition and can take off as long as there are enough accessories. There are only more than 40 left, and now sixteen of them have been blown up at once. This is a tragic failure. It is not enough for the rest of the fighter jets to be completely repaired and restored to their current combat effectiveness.
Since all the Immortal Missiles delivered by the United States were stored in this base, the base has now been wiped out.
"In other words, what's left in our current base?" Khomeini said dimly.
"Yes," said Muhsin.
He felt keenly that the great spiritual leader, never like today, was a very bad sign.
"What are sacrificed today are the sons of the great Iranian people. Their spirit will last forever. Our war with Iraq is a cruel war. Although we are temporarily defeated, God blesses, the final victory must belong to us." Khomeini said: "Now, it is time to make Iraq's blood debt repayment. We must wipe out the Iraqi army in the Bakhtaran region!"
"We Iran will never fail!"
Khomeini was angry, Iran was angry.
And Iraq is completely different.
Air Force Commander Major General Abid personally welcomed the returned warriors at the airport. They originally flew to the Southern Military Region after filling up the fuel in the Northern Military Region.
As a result, President Saddam was very happy after receiving the news that he had completely bombed the Tehran Air Force Base.
The attack of the Northern Military Region was blocked, and Iraq needed a big victory to boost morale.
The bombing of Tehran Air Force Base and destroying all Iranian fighter jets on the ground, the Iranian air force lost its offensive capabilities. This was a great victory and was enough to boost the morale of the people across the country!
Therefore, he sent the Air Force Commander to express a warm welcome to the returned warriors.
In terms of organization, all the air forces are under the jurisdiction of Abid, the Air Force Commander. However, since Kusai arrived in the south, he has captured all the troops in the Southern Military Region and even the air force has been captured. Abid naturally knew how to interfere in any way.
Now, Abid is also very jealous when he sees these American-made fighter jets equipped by the Southern Military Region.
As the commander of the Air Force, he must be a pilot. Abid naturally knows what those fighter jets mean.
If the Northern Military Region is asked to dispatch air forces to bomb Tehran Air Force Base, they will definitely not be able to achieve the current effect if they have twice the number of fighter jets!
Especially as the commander of the Air Force, after welcoming these fighter pilots from the Southern Military Region at the airport, he personally stepped onto the cockpit of the F-20 with great interest. After seeing the internal instrument, he was even more amazed!
Anyway, the F-20 production line has also been set up in the south. In the future, you must ask Lord Kusai for some fighter jets to equip the Northern Military Region!
Although the president negotiated a business with the Soviet Union and introduced a batch of Soviet "advanced" fighter jets, Abid knew that it was not as powerful as this F-20 fighter jet.
Iraq successfully bombed the Tehran Air Force Base, which Iran has the most tightly defended, and completely destroyed the entire base. This news immediately spread all over the world, attracting the analysis of countless military strategists.
There is a long-range early warning radar at Tehran Air Force Base, which is arranged on the defense line on the west side. How did Iraqi Air Force fighter jets escape radar surveillance and suddenly appear above Tehran Air Force Base?
Many military strategists have analyzed that there must be a cruise missile in Iraq's arsenal! First, use this cruise missile and knock out the opponent's long-range radar before they can fly over the other side and drop the laser-guided bombs and the Mavericks air-to-ground missiles they are equipped with. Laser-guided bombs are used to blow large targets, and one is enough to paralyze the other side. The Mavericks are used to strike multiple scattered targets, and no important targets are left alone.
Iraq dispatched several fighter jets, but did not carry ordinary aviation bombs at all. This shows that the application of precise guidance weapons can be several times higher than ordinary aviation bombs. In future air strikes, using precise guidance weapons can completely achieve good results.
It is even more important to use cruise missiles to conceal the raid and kill the opponent's long-range alert ability.
This battle example has promoted the development and development of long-range cruise missiles by various countries.
Northrop, a company vigorously promoted this record, which was entirely due to the F-20 fighter. Although this fighter was born from the F-5, it is already a brand new fighter. Whether it is the competition for air supremacy or ground bombing, the F-20 can be fully competent for low-intensity combat.
Although everyone's attention is on the brink of Yi, few people pay attention to it. Another big thing is happening quietly.
"Where has the hostage been going now?" Khomeini asked.
Fortunately, he kept this move himself, and now it seems that he can finally use it.
"Tabriz," said Rafsanjani.
Khomeini looked at the map on the wall and said, "Immediately urge the United States to hand over the arms to us first, otherwise the hostages can only stay in Tabriz for the time being."
Rafsanjani was shocked. According to the prior agreement, he needed to wait for the hostages to reach the border with Turkey, and the Americans transported arms to the shore at the same time. Will doing so now stimulate the United States?
However, Tabriz is not far from Turkey's border, so it is reasonable to do so.
Looking at the map, as he got closer and closer to the Turkish border, McFarlane felt more and more impatient. He knew that now was the most dangerous time.
Khomeini asked them to leave by car, and McFarlane knew that it was full of variables, but the other party disagreed with the plane coming to pick it up, and they had no other way.
Now, Iranians are "protecting" the convoys, and even if they want to run, they will never be able to escape.
However, the Americans in the car have obviously improved their temperament. They only know that they can go home in two days.
Compared with passengers on other flights, they were unfortunate, but compared with the last embassy incident, they were lucky.
Suddenly, the car in front stopped.
What's going on? McFarlane stuck his head out of the window in confusion.
"Sir, our superiors have called, please answer." An Iranian came over and said.
Telephone? McFarlane was a little confused. What phone number?
He got out of the car and came to the car in front. A company commander from Iran who was in charge of the escort this time said, "Our superiors have something to discuss with you."
McFarlane was the main person in charge of the weapon hostage replacement incident. He picked up the radio call and heard a familiar voice inside saying, "Mr. McFarlane, we need to get those weapons immediately."
McFarlane was shocked and said, "According to our agreement, we need to evacuate safely, so that the arms can be sent to the port. It is very difficult for me to do this."
"Maybe you know, our air base was attacked by shameful Iraqis yesterday, our fighter jets were very short, and some parts were destroyed in yesterday's air strike, so we really need that batch of arms."
"Sorry, I have to follow our agreement. This is the guarantee of the personal safety of all our hostages." McFarlane said very directly.
"Then please hand over the phone to the company commander." The words came from inside made McFarland feel a gust of cold wind in his back.
He looked at the company commander beside him. He knew that as long as he handed the phone to the other party, the other party would definitely change his face in the next moment. His hostages would probably be back in the tiger's mouth.
What to do? Agree with the other party’s request? Or escape?
According to the second action plan, when they were about to approach the Turkish border, soldiers from the Delta Special Forces would secretly respond, but now it is still a bit far away.
"Give me the phone." The company commander next to him said immediately when he saw that McFarlane did not speak or move.
"Boom!" At this moment, suddenly, a huge explosion sounded from behind.
