Chapter 423 Scud missile, launched!

"The Fourth Armored Division is too crazy. Their armored troops actually drove directly from the highway, and there were so many tracks without glue, which screwed up the road!" An Iraqi soldier was driving a large four-axis vehicle on the already undulating highway, and at the same time, he said impatiently.

Although his vehicle has off-road capabilities, he still slowed down his speed in order to ensure that the big guys in the car could not be affected.

Starting from the base, the speed was very fast, and I arrived here in one day, but then the speed suddenly slowed down. It was all the good things the Fourth Armored Division did! At this speed, I am afraid that I will not be able to reach the predetermined position tomorrow.

This is a large car produced in the Northern Red Empire. The chassis model is maz-543ltm. It is 12 meters long, 2.9 meters wide and 2 meters high. The front two rows are cabs, and the back is covered with camouflage nets. Although the cam nets are covered very tightly, the shape of something like a horn is still exposed at the rear.

Following the car, there are several vehicles with the same chassis, all of which are covered with camouflage nets and walking along the road at night.

Their cars were loaded with Iraq's most secret weapon: the Scud missile!

If there is anything that can make military fans excited in the Gulf War in later generations, the first place is definitely the Scud missile. This kind of missile is the trump card in the war in later generations.

However, although Saddam attaches great importance to these things and regards these missiles as a weapon for the country, these things are not very eye-catching in the KU competition.

The range of 300 kilometers can only be considered tactical, while the circumference error is 300 meters. In terms of accuracy, it cannot be compared with Red Bird II at all.

At this time, the Red Bird 2 had been produced in large quantities in Zubaier's base. Although it was limited by the bullet body and engine, the range was only 200 kilometers, the accuracy was one level higher. The Red Bird 3, which had a range of up to 800 kilometers, also began to develop it.

The bullet bodies of Red Bird One and Two are both c801 bullet bodies used. No matter how they improve it, innate factors doom it to be unable to increase its range far. Therefore, technicians have begun research on Red Bird Three.

Although Chinese personnel have evacuated, a group of Iraqi technicians have emerged in the process of jointly studying two ground-attack cruise missiles with China, and they have begun research on this longer-range cruise missile.

The most complex guidance problem has been successfully solved. What needs to be done now is to create a larger bullet body and install more fuel. At the same time, the appearance has also been changed to the same structure as the later Tomahawks. The two short wings in the middle can provide greater lift during flight. The tail is still a four-piece cross-shaped tail wing, but due to the engine, the bullet body is much larger than the later Tomahawks, but the range is not as far as the other party.

Everything needs to be solved by introducing new small turbofan engines.

Even so, Iraq has reached the forefront of the world in terms of cruise missiles. Although Iraq's cruise missiles have been developed, it does not mean that Kusa does not pay attention to ballistic missiles. Both sides have their own advantages.

Cruise missiles have low flight altitudes, which is conducive to concealment, but their speed is slow and their heading is fixed. After being discovered on the ground, even anti-aircraft guns can be shot down.

But what Kusai attaches importance to is not a tactical ballistic missile with a range of only 300 kilometers. It must be at least a medium-range ballistic missile with a range of about 200 kilometers. It must be able to cover the entire Middle East region. In the long run, it is a strategic missile with a range of more than 10,000 kilometers. It carries nuclear weapons developed by Iraq itself and will no longer be afraid of being bullied by major hooligans.

Therefore, this Scud missile was pulled out and used by Kusai without hesitation in this battle.

Their target is an air force base in southern Isfahan, near the edge of Ahmadi Province.

The reason why the Iranian Air Force can fly to Abadan so quickly and bombard it is the air force base less than 400 kilometers away from Abadan. After they take off from this base, they fly over Ahmadi at a very low altitude. On the way, they will not be discovered by Iraq's air defense network, and then suddenly bombard it.

If it flew from Tehran, not to mention anything else, if the J-7 wanted to return, it would probably only last for three minutes in the war zone.

If the Scud missile is launched from the west side of Port Khomeini, it can cover it just so the first battle since the Scud missile entered the Iraqi army finally began.

The missile troops took part of the route of the Fourth Armored Division. In addition to scolding the group of lunatics who did not cherish the national property of the Fourth Armored Division, they also had to open their eyes wide and choose a relatively flat road.

However, this off-road vehicle chassis produced in the Soviet Union showed good passability and could be easily passed through even when larger roadblocks appear on the road.

Crossing the Arab River, they did not approach the war zone, but chose a safer area of ​​control in their own side, Susangild area, and continued to move forward.

The place is sparsely populated. Except for the Iranians who once wanted to launch a sneak attack from here, but the conspiracy was shattered by Lord Kusai, there is nothing too dazzling here.

The huge wheels of the missile launcher crushed the ground of Susangild. It was not yet rainy, and the ground here was still relatively solid and had not become a swamp.

Finally, before dawn, they arrived at the predetermined launch position, on a flat ground on the edge of Susangild swamp, where the straight-line distance from the target to be attacked was 298 kilometers.

Each vehicle arrived at the launch position at one time and arranged it in order.

The Scud missile is a liquid missile. In normal times, this missile has no fuel inside and must be refilled before launching, and the launch procedure is lengthy.

If fuel is added before departure, then during the maneuvering process, the liquid fuel will constantly shake in the missile, which will cause an impact on the missile body and will also be at risk of friction, fire and explosion. Moreover, the fuel is corrosive and will corrode the rocket's fuel tank over time.

This is also the reason why liquid-fuel rockets were eliminated in later generations and switched to solid rocket engines.

A complete launch team, including a series of vehicles such as ground measurement vehicles, command vehicles, power vehicles, propellant filling vehicles, test vehicles, fire trucks, etc., is far less simple than seen in later TVs.

After Iraq's missile forces entered the launch position, everyone began to get busy.

The ground measurement vehicle began to calculate its position at this time and calculate the various data needed to launch the rocket.

Ballistic missiles are based on the earth as reference and are launched from one position on the earth to another. If they want to hit the target, they must know where they are now in order to determine the various parameters of the flight.

If it is a fixed launch position, these parameters such as latitude and longitude and altitude are known in advance, then the speed can be accelerated. For this random launch, the data of the launch position must be accurately determined.

The command car is also busy, unfolding the antenna and coordinating the work of each person.

The power supply vehicle begins to generate electricity, providing electricity to each vehicle.

The camouflage net of the missile launcher has been unveiled. Next to it, the propellant filling vehicle drove to the side. The soldier wearing a gas mask picked up the fuel pipe, opened the missile's filling port, and began to refuel the missile.

This fuel is not only corrosive, but also toxic, so you must pay special attention when filling.

After refueling a missile, the soldier picked up the fuel pipe and began to refuel another missile.

This time, two missiles need to be launched. The warhead of the Scud missile weighs 1 ton. Under normal circumstances, it is equipped with 860 kilograms, with a killing radius of about 150 meters, and the circumference error is 300 meters, so it is likely that it will be missed and cannot reach it.

Therefore, according to the instructions of their superiors, they did not use the ordinary ** warhead, but the cluster warhead.

If you want to destroy the airport, it is most suitable to use ballistic missiles to carry the cluster warhead. If small bombs are spread on a large area and spread onto the entire airport, their fighter planes will not be able to take off at all.

Even if you consider that it may be missed, if you use two missiles, one of them will always hit, which will completely destroy the airport.

After the loading is completed, the test vehicle begins to test the missile.

After the test was completed, the huge missile began to slowly rise.

The most exciting moment has finally arrived.

Vehicles loading Scud missiles are transported and launched with three-purpose vehicles. The transportation and lifting of trees are all done with this vehicle, and the same is true for launching.

At this time, more than an hour had passed, and the sky in the east had just shined, and two Scud missiles standing quietly on the ground were fully prepared.

"The last missile self-test." The command came from the command vehicle.

"The last missile self-test." In the second row of seats in front of the three-purpose vehicle on the transport vertical launch vehicle, it had become a temporary launch station. Two soldiers were operating nervously. They pressed the self-test button in front, and then watched the lights on the dashboard flash in turn.

Except for the two vehicles on the position, except for the fire truck, the rest had already left, and even the command vehicle had reached one kilometer away.

Fire trucks are just in case, and those people operating in missile vehicles are now the most dangerous.

"The self-test has been completed." It has been tested by external test vehicles, and missiles rarely have problems again.

“Inject all data.”

Through the cable, various data from the ground measurement vehicle just now began to be continuously injected into the missile.

"The data has been injected, and preparations are carried out before the final launch."

This kind of launch does not require countdown like launching a launch vehicle, adding a tense atmosphere out of thin air.

After the preparation was completed, the command car sent an order: "Start!"

Hearing the last command, the operator pressed his hand on the launch button.

A thick smoke came out from the bottom of the rocket, and then a flame suddenly appeared at the bottom of the missile. In this flame, the missile weighing several tons began to rise slowly. Then, the speed became faster and faster, leaving only the hot ground, and the missile had already flown into the sky.

The magnificent scene opened the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the missile force.

The missile force is different from other troops. It is very likely that after being a soldier for several years, he has never launched a missile.
