v2 Chapter 1460: Smoke without injury

In fact, at that time, it was supposed to meet the double-two-five standard, but there were some problems in the development. In the end, this high-altitude, high-speed fighter jet did not meet the Mach 2.5 standard, so it was handed over to the Royal Iraqi Air Force. Air-to-air missiles can also fly Mach 2.5.

Historically, the MiG 25 was a high-altitude, high-speed fighter jet with double-three standards because it had a Mach of 2.8 to a certain extent. It could throw away the air-to-air missiles equipped by the Israeli Air Force with a single acceleration. It has brought great shock to Israel, the United States, and even the entire free world. The Iraqi Air Force will not necessarily suffer in an air battle.

High-altitude and high-speed fighter jets are equivalent to specialized weapons, and they are particularly good at a certain place. The MiG-25 flies very fast, leaving the Israeli Air Force at a loss.

Alan Wilson doesn't think that high-altitude, high-speed fighters will definitely withdraw from the stage of history. Maybe one day in a few decades, it will come back again?

There is no unified standard for the sixth-generation fighter jets. If any country produces a high-altitude, high-speed fighter jet with double-four standards, it is okay to call itself a sixth-generation fighter jet, and there is nothing wrong with it.

"Why didn't the Royal Air Force equip it at that time?" Dennis Healey asked when he heard that the cabinet secretary was so optimistic about the performance of the Iraqi Air Force.

"It was cut off because of military expenditures. Manufacturing is just to accumulate manufacturing experience." Alan Wilson looked helpless, who is to blame? Wasn't it just Harold Wilson's last term?

Dennis Healey was keenly aware that if he pursued the matter, he would be held accountable to the Prime Minister and even himself, and he would not mention why the Royal Air Force was not equipped.

Because the beautiful man did not officially serve in the Royal Air Force, this fighter jet named Long Arrow Fighter in Iraq is actually more famous. Arab countries also refer to the beautiful man as the Long Arrow fighter, which is better than NATO calling the beautiful man a fin whale. .

In terms of electronic equipment, the United Kingdom is definitely better than the Soviet Union. The backwardness of electronic equipment has already leaked clues as early as the Soviet period. When the Soviet Union carried out electronic jamming to cover the surprise attack on Warsaw in 1999, NATO did not notice anything.

In general, as long as you are careful with the long arrows in the hands of the Iraqi Air Force, even if you can't do anything to the Israeli Air Force, it is not so easy for the Israeli Air Force to catch up with the Iraqi Air Force.

"Actually, it has been less than a day since the Israeli air strikes on Egypt. The beginning of the war is a time when fake news is high, and the battle reports of both sides are not credible." Who will win the final victory, no matter what, requires conclusive news from the ground battlefield.

In the heart of the supreme authority, in fact, he is also very concerned about what kind of results the Iraqi Air Force can achieve after entering the war. Not to mention that the French fighter jets have just been severely damaged, and the British fighter jets have followed suit.

Although this fighter jet is not in service in the country, and the name given by Iraq is more well-known, it is also made in the UK after all.

Naturally, it is impossible for the cabinet meeting to only discuss whether the fighter jets are useful or not. The key point is that several countries participating in the war have announced a national general mobilization. Whether it is a bluff or something, it is very dangerous anyway.

"Of course it's a bluff, but it's still dangerous." Foreign Secretary Patrick concluded with a double-headed conclusion, expounding his understanding of the current situation in the Middle East.

The public announcement of general mobilization is to deter opponents in a sense, but once some countries announce to follow up, it may lead to spiral escalation.

There is no need to find examples from other places. In Europe during the First World War, Germany, France, Russia, and Australia announced a general mobilization to each other.

"Something must be done, which will have an impact on world energy." The entire cabinet meeting was full of gentlemen's worries that world peace was at stake.

Look, every minister is so concerned about the country and the people. If everyone gives a little love, the world will become a better world.

This is not like a retrograde British treasure, who is happily telling the microphone, "Whether Al Jazeera can become a TV station with great influence in the Arab world depends on this broadcast, and resolutely defends the Arab world. It is extremely important that the interest is widely heard around the world."

When Vivien Leigh put down the microphone, her daughter Suzanne wanted to ask when her mother would also run a TV station in an Arab country, which seemed to be very important.

"What's the matter, Suzanne." Vivien Leigh saw her daughter who was a little silent, and asked with caring, "Is there any difficulty recently?"

"There is no difficulty, mother, I just think you are in good condition." Suzanne replied with a smile, "Even now, you still have such a strong sense of professionalism."

"People are influenced by others." Vivien Leigh answered seriously. The main reason for her being so ambitious was because there was a man who was more ambitious.

"This is Al Jazeera. Just now Yemeni leader Nasser announced to join the war against Zionism to defend the dignity of the Arab world. Next..."

The Whitehall Cabinet Secretary's Office is waiting for the permanent undersecretaries of their ministers. They have just received the news that Yemen has joined the war.

"Yemen should be difficult to convince. Saudi Arabia or Egypt will open their own territory to march. It is impossible for Egypt to be unprepared for the Free Officers Organization, and the Saudi chiefs are also very afraid of the end of the Yemeni chief." Makins was a little surprised, "Yemen What are you going to do?"

"We have to consider a problem. Yemen's air force is not weak, especially because the Soviet Union took a fancy to Yemen's location and gave Yemen a lot of Tu-16 bombers. Yemen's air force may participate in the war, and Tim Island has an airport that can be used." Alan Wilson replied, "The Yemeni Air Force can provide air superiority cover for the Egyptian army on the Sinai Peninsula."

For Nasser, who has always advocated Arab nationalism, it is not impossible to put aside previous suspicions and contribute to the entire Arab nation. This move may also improve relations with Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

In the Sinai Peninsula, the Egyptian army had strong fortifications. The Israeli army suffered great losses due to the fierce and accurate Egyptian anti-tank artillery fire. After repeated **** battles, the Israeli army finally approached the target step by step. Israeli tanks rushed into the urban area of ​​Arish. This small city is on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea. It is an important station for the railway from Gaza to the Suez Canal. Breaking through Arish is the key to the Battle of the Sinai Peninsula.

As early as the Israeli Air Force's raid on Egypt, the defenders in the Sinai Peninsula received news of the outbreak of war, and then they were ordered to enter the major settlements and stand by for help.

The attacking Israeli army had a total of 60,000 soldiers, and they were divided into three groups and approached their respective targets, but what they did not expect was that they did not encounter the coming Egyptian army to snipe.

It even felt like entering no one's land, but after rushing into the urban area of ​​Arish, everything changed. Positional warfare is a way that no army is willing to face, and Israel is especially unwilling.

The streets extending in all directions divided each stronghold into an ideal alley battlefield. The Egyptian defenders hid in the urban area without any scruples to meet the attack of the Israeli army. I don't mind at all, turning the bustling streets of the past into a purgatory.

As for the giant anti-aircraft tower used to protect the safety of the Suez Canal, there is exactly one on the east side of the city of Arish, and it has already started to operate. It and Arish mutually cover each other and become a giant fortress to prevent Israel from advancing.

The Egyptian air force has basically been defeated, and the Israeli aircraft seem to be unmanned. In order to increase the frequency of aircraft dispatches, the time for Israeli ground crews to refuel and reload ammunition is getting shorter and shorter. Their record is that it takes 5 minutes to fill up more than 7,000 liters of gasoline, and it only takes a few seconds to hang an auxiliary fuel tank. They sent batches of ghost-style planes into the sky. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

Now the main task of the Israeli Air Force is to open a channel for the army to advance. Anyway, the enemy is throwing bombs towards the city of Arish without any consideration. However, when facing the Arish air defense tower, this attack surface has little effect. , On the contrary, the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft missiles equipped with the Arish air defense tower are constantly venting towards the sky, expressing their sense of existence.

In the face of carpet bombing by the Israeli Air Force, the anti-aircraft tower stood firm. The predecessor of this reinforced concrete cube with a length, width, and height of 70 meters fought until Berlin was conquered in the face of the British and American strategic bombings. At this time, it was replaced by a The country has changed its environment, and it is still the same day, and the blockbusters can't shake it at all.

The time of the fall of the anti-aircraft tower depends entirely on when the king of Egypt announced the truce. After the two batches of bombing, the pilots of the Israeli Air Force could not help cursing. Smoke is not injured, but there is obviously a huge gap between destroying the target.

For Israel, time is the most precious thing. Israel cannot fight a protracted war with Arab countries. It must conquer Arish at all costs and cut off the important supply base of the Egyptian Army.

The news that Arish was fighting fiercely was also known to the people in Cairo. The people in Cairo were as powerful as the people in Chaoyang. Soon word of mouth spread that there was a giant anti-aircraft tower in Arish City, and even this giant anti-aircraft tower The tower itself was part of a supply base for the Egyptian army in the Sinai peninsula.

If the supply center is not completely occupied, the Egyptian army will not fall into a situation where even drinking water is a problem, and over Gaza, the Royal Iraqi Air Force who arrived also fought with the Israeli Air Force. This is a high-altitude, high-speed fighter jet stage.
