The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

The computer system began to work quickly. In addition to the data intercepted by the phased array radar, there was also data transmitted by satellites and early warning aircraft. After relevant comparisons and precise calculations, the optimal launch time had arrived.

The quadruple missile launcher roared as the missiles broke through the packaging of the missile box in front of it. Amidst the blazing flames, the missiles took off urgently.

The 32 missiles reflected and intercepted the 30 incoming Scud missiles.

For this wave, even if Israel intercepted all of it, it would still suffer a huge loss in economic terms.

The price of an anti-aircraft missile is thirty times that of a Scud missile!
In other words, for just this one interception, Israel spent 30 times as much as Iraq!
Of course, that's not how the accounts were calculated.

Because if the Scud missile lands, the economic losses it may cause will be even greater.

Destruction is much easier than construction.

Therefore, it must be intercepted.

The interception put enormous pressure on the computer system, which was constantly solving calculations.

"Boom~~"

The anti-aircraft missile intercepted a Scud missile, which exploded in mid-air.

However, more Scud missiles were not intercepted.

“Boom~~” “Boom~~” “Boom~~”

Scud missiles landed and exploded continuously.

If it hits a building, the whole building will collapse.

"Damn~~"

The commander of the Israeli air defense forces couldn't help but curse, because in this wave of attacks, only 4 Scud missiles were intercepted, which means that the actual interception rate was only about 13%!

You should know that the Patriot air defense missile system is said to have an interception rate of at least 97%, and the Arrow-2 air defense missile system is said to have an interception rate of 99%!

However, the success rate of intercepting the Scud missiles by both teams was only 13%!

Even if those missiles that hit the road or suburbs are included, the interception success rate is barely 50%!

I have to say that statistics is sometimes a profound and mysterious subject.

Israel couldn't help it and calculated the missile launch point based on the missile launch trajectory.

Israel's missile forces launched the 'Jericho-1' and 'Jericho-2' missiles.

The Jericho-1 missile is a medium-to-short-range surface-to-surface ballistic missile. It was developed in the mid-20s and equipped to the troops in 60. Its appearance, size and performance are similar to the US Pershing-1971. The outside world has always believed that the US gave the design data of the Pershing-1 missile to Israel, and Israel copied and improved the Pershing-1 missile. The missile has a maximum range of 1 kilometers, is 500 meters long, has a diameter of 10.4 meters, and weighs 0.8 tons. The warhead weighs 6.7 to 450 kilograms. When the warhead weighs 800 kilograms, its maximum range can reach 450 kilometers. The missile uses a single inertial guidance system and the technology is crude. The missile is not accurate enough, with a circular error probability of 500 meters.

This time, Israel launched 50 'Jericho-1' missiles to attack the missile launch bases from which Iraq launched missiles at Israel.

‘杰里科-1’导弹每枚造价在100~150万美元，50枚导弹便是要5000~7500万美元。

The Jericho-2 missile is a medium-range ground-to-ground road-mobile missile developed by Israel in the mid-20s and entered service in the late 70s. Its maximum range is 80 kilometers, the missile is 1500 meters long, 14 meters in diameter, and weighs nearly 1.56 tons. The missile uses radar guidance, which is the technology related to the Pershing II missile provided by the United States to Israel. Its engine material, solid fuel, and terminal guidance technology are the same as those of its copy. Israel's nuclear weapons at that time were carried on the Jericho-13 missile.

Israel has deployed a total of 80 "Jericho-2" missiles. This time, Israel launched a total of 20 "Jericho-2" missiles to attack the Iraqi capital "Baghdad"!
As for the US military's persuasion and obstruction, it was firmly rejected by Israel.

In the whole world, only Israel dares to be so tough on the US military and even dares to threaten the US military.

Conjugate paternity is just that!

As soon as Israel launched the missile, it was detected by radars in Palestine, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.

Palestine, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon all have radar positions deployed to target Israel.

Israel's territory is long and narrow, with a small area and no depth at all. There is no need to deploy high-power radar to cover the entire territory of Israel.

There is absolutely no secrecy at all about Israel's missile launches and aircraft takeoffs.

Of course, the US reconnaissance satellites also discovered it in space, but the US did not make any calculations. It just felt helpless and reported it immediately so that the higher-ups could formulate strategies faster and better.

In space, the "Clairvoyance" missile early warning satellite, using a highly sensitive infrared telescope, immediately discovered the missiles launched by Israel, and then tracked the Israeli missiles, continuously transmitting the missiles' flight trajectory, flight speed, direction, trajectory inclination, and position to the ground station. The Beijing Space Command Base and the Kunming Space Monitoring Base simultaneously received the missile trajectory parameters sent by the "Clairvoyance" missile early warning satellite, and after rapid ground station calculations, they calculated the flight trajectory and impact points of these missiles.

With the help of computers, the calculation speed is very fast. In just a few seconds, the flight trajectory and impact point of each missile will be determined.

These data were sent to the Afghan coalition air defense missile forces as soon as possible.

The Arab coalition forces are located in a certain air defense missile unit in Jordan, which has a battalion of "Aegis-1" air defense missile systems.

‘神盾-1’防空导弹系统一套共有1个发射单元、4套发射系统，配备32枚导弹，一个营的‘神盾-1’防空导弹系统便有4个发射单元、16套发射系统，配备有128枚导弹。

In the past Sixth Middle East War, the 'Aegis-1' air defense missile system of this battalion shot down a total of 20 aircraft and 5 missiles, making outstanding achievements.

When Iraq launched Scud missiles to attack Israel, the Arab League realized that the Jews would never give up, so they turned on the radar immediately!

The computer of the 'Aegis-1' air defense missile system locked onto the target and did not intercept those short-range ballistic missiles, but instead tried to intercept those medium-range ballistic missiles. After all, medium-range ballistic missiles are more valuable to intercept.

"Fire!" the commander of the air defense missile battalion gave the order.

On the quadruple missile launcher, with a roar, the 'Aegis-1' missile broke through the packaging of the missile box in front, and in the blazing flames, the missile took off urgently.

Each missile launcher launches four 'Aegis-1' missiles, for a total of 16 'Aegis-1' missiles.

Each 'Aegis-1' missile intercepts one 'Jericho-1' missile.

“Boom~~” “Boom~~” “Boom~~”

16枚‘神盾-1’防空导弹拦截了12枚‘杰里科-2’导弹，拦截成功率达到了75%！

As for other missiles in the air, this air defense battalion cannot intercept them, because after launching them, it will move its position to avoid attacks from Israel's surface-to-surface ballistic missiles and Israel's aircraft attacks on air defense positions.

Ten minutes later, the anti-aircraft missile battalion once again formed an anti-aircraft position and began loading missiles. (End of this chapter)
