At any time, everyone knows that the natural enemies of the armored cluster are attacks from the air.

Even if the tanks hit each other, there was no threat that air attacks posed to the armored group.

Therefore, when encountering air attacks and lack effective air defense forces, the most important thing the armored cluster should do is to disperse, the farther the better.

Only in this way can the losses be reduced.

The Iraqi army actually went the opposite way.

Stupid?

If you are really stupid, can you crippled the vanguard regiment of the First Division of the Army?

"Be careful and pay attention to air defense fire."

More than ah-1w lined up with attack formations and approached the Iraqi tank clusters that gathered in groups in front.

The pilot has turned on the weapon security and his thumb is ready to press the rocket launch button.

As soon as they enter the attack range, these rockets will break out of the launch nest and attack the Iraqis' tanks with thick skin from the top.

m1a1 can't do anything to them, is there any problem with the armed helicopter?

Seeing that the range was about to enter, sneering began to appear on the faces of American pilots.

The tanks on the ground have seen them, but they have not escaped!

"Drip~"

Inside Feidun-359, the central control computer reminds the target to be locked.

The three 4-unit avant-garde air defense missile launchers on the top are different in their directions, each aiming at an ah-1w armed helicopter approaching at high speed in the dark.

The radar data has been transmitted to the missiles on the launcher.

Seeing that the farthest one of the three helicopters had entered a 4-kilometer range, completely within the range of the missile, a sinister smile appeared on the commander's face.

Perhaps Americans would not have thought that they had been targeted long ago.

"locking!"

The operating officer pressed the lock button.

Three red boxes circle the three red origins on the display screen.

Almost the first time the commander was locked, the commander issued an order.

"emission!"

The battlefield situation changes instantly. If they wait until the superiors order to open fire, they may have been killed.

"Didi..."

As the display screen was getting closer and closer, and when they were about to get closer, the pilots who were even imagining the tragic situation of Iraq's armored cluster, they were stunned when they saw the red lights in the cockpit flashing wildly, and the "Didi" sirens kept ringing, and they were stunned.

Locked?

What locked up?

Did the Iraqis establish air defense missile launch positions?

Is this a battlefield for tanks between both sides to fight?

Are the Iraqis afraid that their air defense missile positions will be destroyed by tank guns?

A series of questions flashed in the minds of the US military pilots.

"Swoosh!swoosh!swoosh!"

As the locked warning sounded, they saw several fireballs coming quickly.

Eight flying shield-359s were surrounded by 359 tanks and had fully deployed their attack form, launching avant-garde air defense missiles almost at the same time.

Each flying shield-359 launches an air defense missile of varying numbers at the same time, dealing with 16 targets in the air, one target and one missile, and there is not even a large number.

"16, if there are any ones that don't hit..."

Looking at the radar display of the regiment headquarters, Herataki couldn't help but worry.

Although it is an armed helicopter, it is slow and not so flexible in the air. As long as one armed helicopter is still there, it will cause serious losses to them.

"If it is a fighter, it may not work. For helicopters, one armed helicopter is enough! If I had known it, I shouldn't have dispatched the flying shield..."

Tazak regrets a little.

After all, I am still too young.

If it were a teacher, I would never do this.

When Pla encounters this situation, she will definitely use individual missiles to ambush first, so as not to expose the existence of the Flying Shield-359.

"Avant-garde missiles are not cheap, one $100,000 is a waste if you have too much..."

Tazak is reluctant to waste these missiles.

Previously, there were quite a lot of avant-garde air defense missiles, but they were not equipped enough.

In the battle between Baghdad and Fallujah, more than 400 were consumed.

The consumption of this kind of missile is really terrifying.

The previous consumption of the Youth Officer Group in the Battle of Kuwait was not supplemented.

When fighting with the US military, it will take a long time. I don’t know when the supply will arrive, so I must save it.

"Missile attack! Avoid! Avoid!"

The pilot of the ah-1w armed helicopter who was about to press the launch button in the sky, did not care about firing again when the missile attacked, and directly pulled the joystick to avoid it.

Even if the maximum speed of the ah-1w armed helicopter reaches 352 kilometers per hour, the speed has been reduced before the attack. In the air, it is not easy to avoid an anti-aircraft missile with a speed of Mach 2.5.

"avoid!"

"Boom~"

When the nearest ah-1w gun helicopter had just pulled the head of the plane and the action had not been completed, an avant-garde missile directly hit the location of the engine of the gun helicopter.

The missile exploded under violent impact.

The instantaneous energy generated by the explosion instantly caused the ah-1w armed helicopter to explode in the air, like a gorgeous firework blooming in the dark night sky.

"Boom boom boom..."

The helicopter exploded, and the parts were scattered all over the sky. Anti-tank missiles and rocket launchers that were originally hung on the weapon mounts on both sides of the helicopter were blown away and exploded...

"Boom~Boom~Boom~"

A series of fireballs bloomed in the air.

16 ah-1w armed helicopters turned into 16 gorgeous fireworks in the air.

After the fireworks, the wreckage of these armed helicopters flew all over the sky.

The remaining m1a1 tanks and armored vehicles of the vanguard regiment of the Army's First Division, who knew that the armed helicopters came to support him, rushed back again regardless of the fearful missiles in the hands of the Iraqis, and even more so, they did not suffer much losses from the Iraqis' tanks and armored vehicles.

They want to beat the dogs in the water with the support of armed helicopters!

These tanks rushed back to the battlefield at the highest speed, but before they could break out, they found that they were confident that the huge number of armed helicopters in the air had not yet begun to launch rockets or anti-tank missiles at the Iraqi armored clusters, and they became fireworks...

These fireworks are too expensive...

I was stunned. All the drivers of the m1a1 tanks and m2 armored vehicles who were accelerating towards the Iraqi armored cluster even forgot to operate their tanks at this time.

Many tanks and armored vehicles lack fuel supply, and their speed has been reduced too quickly. They have not stepped on the clutch and turned off the engine...

"this……"

"Impossible! How could our armed helicopter be shot down like this..."

"Damn it, don't the Iraqis have no air defense power?"

"What are those bastards in the intelligence department doing?"

"God, have you abandoned your people? Do you hope the damn Iraqis win the war?"

"Why are our powerful armed helicopters so weak? Damn it, do you think the armed helicopters are natural enemies of armored clusters?"

All the US armored soldiers were shocked by this scene and did not know how to continue.

The powerful American armed helicopter was destroyed by the Iraqis who were fighting trash as soon as they entered the battlefield!

Who can accept such a result?

Who can believe it?

"Storm up and kill their tanks and armored vehicles, and catch the prisoners..."

For such a result, no one else in the Youth Officer Group except Hrataki, the newly appointed staff officer, was surprised.

It is not difficult to hit the jet fighter that fly into a low altitude and try to show off on the ground, let alone helicopters with slower speed and less flexibility.

Helicopters are natural enemies of ground armor clusters, while avant-garde air defense missiles are natural enemies of these armed helicopters.

"How is this possible!" Herataki didn't believe in such a result at all.
To be continued...
