The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 1121 Iraq War Breaks Out
Iraq local time, March 3th!
The world's eyes are on the Middle East, on Türkiye and the Middle East.

In Turkey, 45 ground joint forces led by the United States have been deployed. In addition, at the Turkish air force base, the air force of the joint forces has also been fully deployed, with fighter jets, interceptors, attack aircraft, bombers, early warning aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, tankers, and transport aircraft, which makes people's scalps numb.

Six US aircraft carrier formations and other allied warships are also in place in the Mediterranean, Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea.

The smell of war can be smelled throughout the world.

War is imminent!
In Iraqi waters, the Iraqi Navy is rapidly deploying various mines to block the sea area, leaving only one safe passage known to the Iraqi Navy.

The gap in strength between the enemy and us is too great. Even the Iraqi Navy knows that it is far from being able to compete with the Joint Forces Navy.

It is necessary to deploy mines to prevent the joint forces from landing, so as to prevent the ground forces from being attacked from both sides.

The US aircraft carrier fleet in the Persian Gulf is 200 nautical miles away from the Iraqi coastline, making it impossible for Iraq's land-based anti-ship missiles to attack the warships.

The tense atmosphere throughout the Persian Gulf is almost suffocating.

Radars throughout Iraq were turned on, and they had received accurate intelligence on the time when the joint forces would launch the attack.

Not only Iraq has activated its first level of combat readiness, but Persia, Saudi Arabia and other countries have also activated their first level of combat readiness. Who knows whether the joint forces will suddenly attack them?

In the Kurdish mountains, at the Iraqi fortifications, soldiers sleep with their clothes on.

Since last year, the Iraqi army has been urgently reinforcing the fortifications here, so that a total of five fortifications have been built in the Kurdish mountains, and defense forces have been deployed at all commanding heights.

The Kurds who originally lived in the Kurdish mountains have been driven to Turkey by the Iraqis.

The artillery positions on the high ground have long been aimed at the roads and bridges in Turkey, and the Iraqi army has deployed a large number of mines, including various types.

Radars are all activated.

All the radar positions in Iraq were turned on. They knew that the joint forces would launch an air strike tonight.

An air strike is nothing more than planes carrying bombs, missiles, and cruise missiles.

Baghdad. Baghdad seemed quiet in the early morning, with only some buildings having their lights on.

Baghdad looks beautiful at night.

The air defense positions are ready and they will defend the sky over Baghdad.

Early in the morning.

Turkish Air Force Base, Cyprus Air Force Base.

Military aircraft took off one after another, formed formations in the air, and rushed towards Iraq.

In the Mediterranean Sea, the Persian Gulf, and the Arabian Sea, carrier-based aircraft from six US aircraft carriers took off one after another and rushed towards Iraq.

The target this time is Baghdad!

Baghdad is the capital of Iraq and its largest city, and is naturally the primary target of the joint forces.

In Baghdad, the air raid alarm was sounded immediately.

The sleeping citizens of Baghdad quickly got up from their beds and headed for the basement or nearby air-raid shelters.

In the past few months, Iraq has stepped up its air defense drills in order to reduce casualties in the face of enemy air strikes after the outbreak of war!

There is food and water in the air-raid shelter!
The first to engage in fire was not from Baghdad, but from the border air defense forces.

When the joint air force and carrier-based aircraft entered Iraqi airspace, they were counterattacked by the Iraqi air defense forces. Although the Americans used electronic jammers to interfere, some radars could not be interfered with by American electronic jammers, and these radars were like clairvoyance and super hearing.

"Boom~~" The anti-aircraft missile hit an F15 fighter jet. The F15 fighter jet was hit directly and exploded in the air.

"Boom~~" Another F15 fighter was hit by an anti-aircraft missile. The red lights in the cockpit were flashing wildly. The plane was smoking and flying unsteadily, with its altitude constantly decreasing.

"FUCK!" The pilot cursed in Chinese. Seeing that he could not fly, he pressed a button and the mount ejected. However, the pilot chose to parachute in this situation.

Just as the plane arrived in Iraqi airspace, the US military launched cruise missiles at Baghdad.

This time, the U.S. military launched 24 Tomahawk cruise missiles within 116 hours.

而伊军并没有被动挨打，伊军的导弹部队向塞浦路斯美军空军基地发射120枚‘侯赛因’导弹和50枚‘阿巴斯’导弹、20枚‘飞毛腿D型’导弹。向土耳其美军空军基地发射了‘飞毛腿’各型号导弹450枚、圆点导弹30枚、奥卡导弹45枚。

According to a friend, if the missiles are not launched, they will remain in the warehouse and be blown up!

In the early morning in Baghdad, the sky was still dark and had not yet brightened.

“Boom~~” “Boom~~” “Boom~~” “Boom~~”

"Da da da da~~~"

Anti-aircraft missiles, anti-aircraft guns, and anti-aircraft machine guns formed an anti-aircraft firepower network, constantly intercepting aircraft and missiles, and aircraft and missiles were constantly being intercepted.

But it is impossible to have a 100% interception rate.

Bombs and missiles fell in Baghdad. Explosions were heard everywhere in Baghdad. There were earth-shaking explosions everywhere. Many places in the city center were filled with flames and smoke.

Iraqi Air Force pilots took off in fighter jets, interceptors, attack planes and bombers and headed towards their targets. Some went to intercept the joint forces' air force, some flew directly towards Turkey, and some flew directly to the Arabian Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.

In the air, Iraqi Air Force pilots were flying their planes and engaging with aircraft from the coalition forces.

The two sides engaged in an air battle.

Planes of both sides were constantly being hit, or exploding in mid-air, or being severely damaged and falling, so the pilots chose to parachute.

The Joint Forces Air Force pilots were more skilled and shot down more Iraqi Air Force aircraft.

But the joint force's air force faces threats from ground-based air defense missiles.

"Boom~~" A US military tanker, flying relatively slowly, was hit by an anti-aircraft missile and exploded in the air, forming a huge fireball.

Thousands of Iraqi Air Force planes fought according to command.

Some Iraqi pilots had only trained for a few months before they had to fly aircraft into combat.

This time, there was no incident of Saddam ordering the plane to be buried, nor was there any incident of Iraqi generals being bribed by the CIA.

Iraq, which strengthened its air force and air defense force construction, was not beaten badly, but performed remarkably well.

The powerful air defense firepower intercepted a large number of cruise missiles and aircraft.

The Iraqi Air Force is fighting bravely against the Joint Forces Air Force.

When Saddam's radar detected that the joint forces had launched an attack, he immediately moved to the underground command center.

After all, he knew that many of the buildings he was in would be the focus of the first wave of attacks.
