Now, it is already eight o'clock in the evening. Although it is pitch black outside, the driver who has changed into new navigation equipment can still skillfully cross the Red Sea from the Dazan area where he parked yesterday according to the pre-planned route.

In addition to the precise inertial navigation system, their other precise navigation device is the satellite navigation system. Now, various main combat equipment in Iraq have begun to popularize satellite navigation systems, especially various bombs. After installing satellite navigation receiving terminals, the accuracy will be greatly improved, but the cost is far lower than that of laser-guided bombs and cruise missiles.

While maneuvering on land, they also began to sail at night, from the Persian Gulf, bypassed the Arabian Sea, and came to the Red Sea.

Their capacity is enough to transport an armored regiment to a designated location at one time. Now, they need to achieve a miracle, and in one night, transport the entire thirty-five armored division to the Sinai Peninsula!

The first batch of troops to land was the ** Armored Regiment.

Seven ships, not seven large ground-effect aircraft, were the crystallization of Alexeyev's lifelong efforts. In the Soviet Union, after this project was cut off, it finally produced fruitful results in Iraq in the Middle East. This large ground-effect aircraft has a take-off weight of 500 tons and can fly over the sea at a speed of 500 knots. It is mainly used to transport the main battle tanks of the armored regiment.

Another type, thirty small Hawk-level ground-effect aircraft, are mainly used to transport other armored vehicles and personnel.

After decades of experimentation and development, the Soviet Union has gradually improved this technology. Unfortunately, it was born at the wrong time. Under the rigid planned economy system of the Soviet Union, personal likes and dislikes will determine the ultimate fate of this product. It has not received the attention of the senior management and finally ended up being dismissed.

However, it took root and sprouted in foreign lands and had fruitful results. In 1989, Iraq obtained all the technical information of this advanced vehicle and hired technicians, including its chief designer Alekseev, and this vehicle began to enter Iraq's army in large quantities.

The Kitty Eagle-class ground-effect aircraft is a medium-sized ground-effect aircraft that can transport 20 tons of cargo and transport infantry fighting vehicles and supply equipment.

In addition to this ground-effect aircraft, Iraq is also equipped with larger aircraft, which is called the Caspian monster in the United States. Since the basic tests of this large aircraft have been improved, and Iraq has more advanced processing capabilities. Therefore, while building the medium-sized Kitty Hawk class, this more capable aircraft, under the care of President Kusai, completed the first prototype in 1990. By this year, seven have been built.

This type of aircraft is named Selman class by Iraq.

Now, the Selman-class aircraft slowly lowered its height on the sea surface. It was not until it arrived on the shore that it slowly slowed down and gradually grounded on the flat shore. Although it looked like a ship-shaped shape, it now stretched out two rows of tires, and after contacting the flat shore, it landed steadily on the ground.

The huge hatch at the rear is opened, similar to the Il-76, forming a slope that can directly drive the vehicle into it.

"Check the plane now." Ali gave the order.

In fact, there is no clear statement whether this kind of thing is called a ship or an airplane. It looks like a ship below and an airplane above. It can take off and land at sea, or it can pass through flat land and land on it.

However, no one pursued these problems. What they need now is to quickly pedal these planes and complete a great shift in the universe.

A tank was gasping and rumbled up. The appearance of this tank was somewhat similar to that of the Soviet T-72 tank, especially the chassis, but it was completely different on the top. Its edges and angular style was definitely a welded turret.

This type of tank is the new main battle tank independently developed by Iraq. After the hard work of Iraq's scientific and technological personnel, this new tank has finally been finalized and equipped with troops. As Iraq's ace force, the 35th Armored Division is one of the troops that first replaced these tanks.

This tank uses an improved 6TD engine with a power of 1,200 horsepower. It drives a body of 45 tons and can obtain an off-road speed of 46 kilometers. The main gun is also a 2A46 125mm caliber high-pressure smoothbore gun. However, the shells they use now are shells used by the Soviet army smuggled from the Soviet Union. The powerful performance of this shell has long been confirmed.

In addition to this type of shell, each of their tanks also has two spare special types of shells. According to Kartsev, the gun-fired missiles introduced by Iraq!

The biggest change is that its turret has undergone earth-shaking changes in its turret, and electronic equipment is flooded with fire control systems, night vision equipment, and laser suppression systems that have not been practiced in the battlefield have all been equipped on it.

It is estimated that the combat effectiveness of this tank is 15 times that of the T72.

Even if they encounter M1 tanks head-on, they are confident to fight them. As for the Mekawa tanks equipped by Israel themselves, they are definitely the target of abuse.

However, inside Iraq, this tank was only given the number of T-72M1. Even if it was discovered by the outside world, it would only think that this was an improved T-72 tank.

When it was originally designed, the Selman class considered the size of the main battle tank for transportation, and the ** armored regiment also carried out this kind of training. Therefore, although in the dark, with the help of advanced night vision devices, tanks drove closer to the Selman class's belly.

A such aircraft can carry nine T-72M1 tanks, Ali's armored regiment, and its main force is forty-eight T-72M1 tanks and forty-eight BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles. Therefore, after these ground-effect aircraft arrive ashore, they can install all of its armored regiments.

Iraq does not have large transport ships or amphibious landing ships, and they are taking different paths.

Soon, the engine in front began to roar, and eight turbofan engines blew out huge airflow, and an additional air cushion was formed on the main wing behind to enhance the ground effect, and the resistance was greatly reduced. The huge Selman class began to slide on the shore, running faster and faster. After entering the water, it continued to slide. Suddenly, the body lightened and it had already flown.

There was a huge roar in the cabin, and there was no way, because the engine was in the front. Ali was thrilled. This time, there was finally another battle to fight!

For Ali, he longed for battle and a passionate battlefield. Now, there is no war to fight in other regions, so defeating the Jews was already his greatest dream. Therefore, although there was a transfer order long ago that he was promoted to deputy commander of the military region, he still chose to stay in the front-line troops.

It was pitch black outside, but there was anger in front of them. This time, they were going to teach the damn Jews a lesson!

The Selman class and the Kitty Hawk class were flying steadily at a distance of more than ten meters above the water.

As the situation in the Golan Heights deteriorated, Israel and Americans were all placed in the north, and their early warning aircraft were always monitoring the north. However, they were very relaxed in the defense of the south.

Moreover, in order not to be discovered by the Israelis, the Iraqi army's route of operation is the Gulf of Suez, which is far away from Israel and is Egypt's territory. Needless to mention the long-range early warning radar arranged in Israel, even early warning aircraft in southern Israel, it is impossible to detect such ultra-low altitude aircraft.

If we look directly north, we can reach the predetermined location. However, the entire southern part of the Sinai Peninsula is full of mountains. In theory, ground-effect wing aircraft can actually fly hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters like aircraft. However, this has deviated from its original intention when it was designed, and it is different from Iraq's current plan.

Along the Gulf of Suez, the vast eastern desert of Egypt to the west and the Sinai Peninsula to the east, the first combat troops were flying at a speed of 600 kilometers per hour. The Kitty Hawk class behind was also flying at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour. At this speed, the Kitty Hawk class was enough for the Selman class to run twice. However, due to loading and unloading reasons, the final time between the two sides was almost the same.

Along the Bay of Suez, as they approached the city of Suez, the formation did not continue to fly forward, but turned to the right and flew into the Sinai Desert in the western Sinai Peninsula!

This is the advantage of the ground-effect wing aircraft. Although it is designed for sea, various flat terrain such as beaches, swamps, ice, snow, etc. are their flight spaces, with strong amphibious capabilities, and they have more important advantages when landing on the beach.

If you continue to fly towards the Suez Canal and then go east, you will have to take one-third of the journey. Now, from here, you can go directly into the Mediterranean Sea through land, and then fly to the assembly site through sea. The total distance is 630 kilometers, which only takes one hour.

If a ship is used, it will take more than ten hours to enter the Sinai Peninsula through Aqa Bay and then take land to pass. Moreover, when it is dawn and the fuel is exhausted, it will be very passive. Now, you only need to wait quietly for an hour to reach your destination directly.

On the coastline of Duhail, the Selman class gradually stopped, slid onto the beach, and from the rear, main battle tanks drove down. They had already set foot on the land of the Sinai Peninsula! They were only more than 60 kilometers away from the border of the Gaza Strip and the Israeli border line!

In the darkness, Ali smiled heartily, revealing his white teeth.

After returning, the speed of the ground-effect aircraft will increase. In this way, it takes two hours to travel back and forth. In this overnight, they can run five rounds, which is enough to transport all the main forces of the First Armored Division.

I'm afraid that the US military will envy their transportation capabilities even if they see them. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to Piaotian. A registered member of the literature recommends this work. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
