Chapter 785 The Flames of War from the Golan Heights

The Golan Heights is a narrow strip of land in southwestern Syria.

It is about 71 kilometers long from north to south.

The widest part in the middle is about 43 kilometers.

Legally speaking...

The Golan Heights are an integral part of Syria.

The Golan Heights have an average elevation of over 500 meters, with the highest peak exceeding 2,000 meters.

Furthermore, the Golan Heights are only a few dozen kilometers away from Damascus, the capital of Syria.

Therefore, its strategic location is extremely important.

and.

The Golan Heights also have abundant freshwater resources.

Because the Golan Heights receive abundant rainfall, with an annual precipitation of around 500 to 800 millimeters.

Moreover, the Jordan River, Ruqad River, Yarmouk River, and other rivers all originate here.

Therefore, it is also known as the 'Water Tower of the Middle East'.

The Middle East is almost entirely a desert climate, characterized by drought and little rainfall.

In this region.

Water is more expensive than oil.

The Golan Heights is strategically important and has abundant freshwater resources.

Therefore, it has always been a strategic location fought over by military strategists.

Since the founding of Syria, it has always had sovereignty and jurisdiction over the Golan Heights.

However, since Israel established itself in the Palestinian territories, and the Arab coalition suffered several defeats in the Middle East wars.

The Golan Heights is a place blessed by feng shui.

It was coveted by Israel, which then actually occupied a large portion of it.

As of 2016.

The two countries remain locked in a standoff in the Golan Heights.

Unfortunately.

Eight or nine years later (early 2025), with the fall of the Assad regime.

After a Western-backed terrorist seized supreme power in the country.

Syria lost even half of the Golan Heights, which were completely occupied by Israel.

But these are all things for later.

2016 years.

Although the entire territory of Syria is engulfed in a battle royale.

The Assad regime even failed to retain the capital, Damascus, at one point.

However, they still firmly control half of the Golan Heights.

In other words.

Even if the civil war situation is very dangerous.

The country's government has never considered withdrawing its elite troops stationed in the Golan Heights.

Because they know.

The hungry wolf on the other side was just waiting for them to retreat on their own initiative.

As long as the country's government dares to withdraw its elite troops.

Then that hungry wolf would definitely devour the entire Golan Heights without hesitation.

What if this hungry wolf really succeeds?

I guess I'll never get it back in this lifetime.

Fortunately, the country's government has weathered the most difficult period.

Therefore, more than half of the Golan Heights is still firmly in the hands of the country's government forces.

After the Russians intervened in the Syrian situation.

They also occasionally send fighter jets to patrol the Syrian side of the Golan Heights to assert their presence.

So whether it's Jiang Chen or Natasha.

None of them felt that the mission early this morning was dangerous.

The two Su-35 fighter jets met in the air.

They formed a two-aircraft formation.

At the same time, turn around and head west.

They flew towards the Golan Heights.

"Vixen, I'll descend to a lower altitude and patrol along the control line later. You go up to keep watch and cover me," Jiang Chen said, looking at the darker-colored 'mountain' in the distance.

Inside the cockpit of another Su-35 fighter jet.

Natasha smiled slightly.

She certainly understood Jiang Chen's intentions.

The other party was worried that Israel might suddenly attack them, so they took the initiative to carry out combat readiness patrols on their behalf.

But I was secretly delighted.

She stubbornly insisted, "What kind of lead aircraft covers its wingman?"

"Donkey of Guizhou, watch your place!"

"I am the lead aircraft, and you are the wingman."

"You are responsible for covering me, so you must obey my orders."

"Instead of me covering for you."

"understand?"

A hint of helplessness flashed across Jiang Chen's face.

Damn it.

Good intentions are wasted. Why are Russians, both men and women, so stubborn?

However, Jiang Chen did not insist.

Although he felt that there was some danger in conducting combat patrols close to the line of actual control, the degree of danger was not really that great.

Despite Israel's dominance in the Middle East, making it a kind of regional hegemon, Israel's influence is undeniable.

However, in the eyes of several major powers...

Israel is no different from a clown.

If it weren't for the cougar behind Israel...

This tiny country has long been completely destroyed.

The two finished their conversation.

The aircraft has entered the airspace over the Golan Heights and is less than 30 kilometers from the Line of Actual Control.

Natasha immediately called command, "Forward Command, Vixen is calling. I have reached Glenn altitude and am preparing to descend and fly patrolling from south to north along the Line of Control."

More than a hundred kilometers away.

In an underground castle on the outskirts of Damascus.

Russian air force controllers watched the flight paths of two Su-35 fighter jets on the radar screen.

The reply came immediately: "Command received. You may descend and begin patrolling."

Received the instruction to point forward.

Natasha immediately lowered the press head and began to lower the height.

Night flight.

Special attention needs to be paid to the height.

Therefore, Natasha's descent speed was not very fast.

As she descended, she also turned on the onboard low-light night camera.

They began filming Israeli military movements along the Line of Actual Control.

the other side.

Jiang Chen then pulled up the nose of the aircraft.

Ascend to a higher altitude to occupy a commanding position.

Then most of their attention was focused on the airborne radar screen.

As a wingman.

His task was to provide cover and protect the flanks of the lead aircraft.

So whether it's an enemy plane suddenly attacking or the lead plane being locked onto by an anti-aircraft missile.

He must react promptly.

Jiang Chen and Natasha were about three kilometers apart.

The altitude difference is approximately 800 to 1,000 meters.

He had a firm grasp on both distance and height.

As long as there is any abnormality in the 'battlefield'.

He can immediately dive down the press head.

Intercept the missile before it arrives.

Inside the bunker, which spans over 100 kilometers.

Russian air traffic controllers also began watching the footage taken by Natasha.

This is the 'job' they have to do every day.

The purpose was to monitor whether the Israeli army was taking the opportunity to encroach on the Golan Heights.

As Natasha flew lower and lower.

The control line below is becoming increasingly clear.

More than 20 kilometers away.

An air defense position of the Israel Defense Forces.

As the camouflage cloth was lifted.

A brand-new Patriot missile vehicle was exposed in the night sky.

not far away.

The vehicle-mounted radar was also successfully activated.

With the vehicle-mounted radar successfully activated, all aerial targets within a radius of tens of kilometers were exposed.

Especially the two Su-35 fighter jets that were only 20 or 30 kilometers away from this air defense position.

They even became prey for 'patriots'.

It was locked onto by radar in just a few seconds.

It is located 100 kilometers west of the Golan Heights.

Inside an Israeli military command post.

An Israeli major general in his forties looked conflicted.

The other Israeli officers in the command post all looked at him with concern.

Everyone's face was filled with anxiety and tension.

Just a few seconds later.

A ruthless and decisive glint suddenly flashed across the man's face.

He clenched his fist.

He swung it down hard.

not far away.

A lieutenant colonel immediately grabbed the telephone receiver.

He shouted menacingly in Hebrew, "Fire!!!"
