A large-scale air battle occurred on the front line. Kusai was lying in the underground command hall of the Ministry of National Defense. After receiving the report, he immediately issued a combat order.

Since the Israelis dare to take the initiative to invade Jordan and Saudi airspace, don’t blame yourself for being rude.

Kusai has never wanted the war to expand, so it has always been limited to the Palestinian territory and has not actively attacked Israel's territory. Now, since Israel has taken the lead in actively attacking the Arab military facilities, then don't blame Iraq for being rude!

At the command of Kusai, the No. 3 unit, which had already been prepared, slowly drove out of its base and moved towards the launching position.

Unit No. 3 is Iraq's missile force. This unit is used by Kusai as a killer weapon.

With the continuous development of Iraq's military industry, the number of troops equipped with weapons is also increasing. From the initial Scud missile to the current Red Bird series cruise missiles and OTP-23 ballistic missiles, they are used as tactical weapons, while Dongfeng-3 and rsd-10 and Red Bird 4 are used as strategic weapons, Iraq's military industry has made great progress.

This time, they used the Red Bird 3 cruise missile and OTP-23 missiles to attack Israel's territory. Both missiles have a range of less than 1,000 kilometers, just covering the entire Israeli territory.

This time, it was a war initiated by Israel! Kusai made up his mind.

Compared with the original, since these missiles can be produced independently, Iraq's equipment has made a leap in quantity. For example, OTP-23, missile launchers have 200, while missiles have more than 600, while Red Bird 3 missiles have four-unit launchers, and more than 200.

In this way, an attack wave can make Israel's territory smoke filled with smoke. Unfortunately, this launch will make Kusai feel pain, and the fight will be all money!

With the orders of Kusai, one hundred missile launchers of each of the two types began to move towards the position.

The targets of attack have long been installed in the missiles, and they are all solid missiles, so they can complete the launch mission in a very short time.

The all-wheel-drive off-road truck arrived at the launch position and unloaded the camouflage net. They began to make the final preparations before launch.

At this time, the US reconnaissance satellite happened to pass over Iraq. They were originally preparing to observe the launch of the so-called launch vehicle in Iraq. Now, the launch vehicle has not been observed, but the attack prelude of Iraq's missile forces has been observed.

The United States urgently issued an early warning signal to Israel, and at the same time, ten sets of Patriot air defense missiles deployed on Israeli land also began to be launched urgently.

As a field air defense system that replaces Hawk missiles, the Patriot air defense missile equipped in a quadruple square launcher on the traction chassis is a product of the miscarriage of the US Star Wars program. It was not designed specifically to intercept ballistic missiles, but after improvement, it has the ability to intercept ballistic missiles.

In later generations, the NMD of the United States was realized by the latest model of the Patriot missile, PAC-3.

The Patriot Missile System has an advanced AW/MPQ-53 multi-function phased array radar with a detection distance of 150 to 160 kilometers. It can complete various tasks such as search, identification, tracking, irradiation targets, guided missiles and electronic confrontation. It monitors 100 targets in a 120° fan, tracks 8 targets and transmits mid-section guidance instructions to 3 missiles at the same time, and conducts final guidance on 3 missiles to intercept 3 incoming targets. Therefore, this radar has played its full role and does not need to be matched with guided radars and other systems. Moreover, it adopts a composite guidance method of command and semi-active search to improve guidance and anti-interference capabilities.

When Iraq used ballistic missiles to attack Israel's air bases, causing their air force to lose combat effectiveness, and when Israel tasted the taste of failure, it was also looking for solutions to the problem. The Jews are a nation that is good at thinking, and they will never let the same mistakes be made again. Therefore, while they maintained close relationships with the United States, they purchased this system that can intercept ballistic missiles from the United States.

And this system is still connected with the American system.

Just as the Patriot missile was launched urgently, several DSP missile early warning satellites running in outer space also started working. They aimed their advanced equipment here, and then, in their sight, the long flame appeared.

The infrared telescope with high sensitivity infrared scanner began to track the tail flame of the ballistic missile launched by Iraq, transmitting the missile's flight trajectory, flight speed, direction, ballistic inclination and position to a communication satellite in the geostationary orbit.

The US Space Command Base in Australia and the USA, which is located in the local area, received the missile ballistic parameters sent by the DSP missile early warning satellite and conducted a intensive solution.

All of this is almost done automatically.

Then, the calculated data was sent to the Patriot missile position deployed in Israel through satellites.

It is definitely not that simple to intercept ballistic missiles. With a phased array radar, after discovering the target, the opponent had already hit it before he could solve it.

Because, when the phased array radar of the air defense missile is discovered, the opponent has already entered the atmosphere again, and the warhead will fly down at Schumacher's speed. When the calculation is done at that time, it will not be able to catch up.

Although the situation in the ascending stage was solved in advance, this would not affect the final result, because the flight process of the ballistic missile follows the laws of ballistics. As long as the initial orbit is known, the position of the final state is almost certain.

However, for this interception method, there is one technique that can easily fail it, that is, change the track!

If the warhead changes its orbit in the middle and changes its orbit, then the opponent will not be able to intercept it at all.

However, the track change technology can easily make the opponent's interception invalid, but the track change technology is not simple. Iraq is working hard to solve the problem, but so far, these technologies have not been mastered.

However, another technique is much simpler.

Fake warhead!

The OTP-23 missile is a single-warhead ballistic missile, but Iraq has improved it and added something to its warhead.

When the ballistic missiles launched by Iraq arrived over Israel, ten Patriot air defense missile companies also began their interception operations.

Each missile has five launch vehicles and twenty missiles, so as long as the interception is more meticulous, the ballistic missiles fired from Iraq can be completely intercepted.

Even if the interception rate is only 50%, Iraq will not be able to perform their strategic purpose and effectively combat Israeli air bases.

More than 100 kilometers, the phased array radar has captured the target, and below it, it is time to launch its own air defense missiles.

When they were deployed, these missiles were mainly arranged in key areas such as Israeli air bases and Tel Aviv. The Iraqi air force did not cross the border and had been operating in the Gaza and the West Bank, so they did not get the opportunity to launch.

Moreover, these air defense missiles are designed to restrain Iraq's ballistic missiles.

The first to lock three targets. At the same time, the launch vehicle rushed out with the flames, and the three missiles had already flown into the dark sky.

The first actual combat intercepting ballistic missile finally came to the stage of history.

In the sky, the warhead, which had entered the fall stage, suddenly collapsed and a large number of metal wires and metal platinum strips flew out from it.

Although their shape is not the same as the warhead, it is not an ordinary metal wire and platinum strip. They are coated with a coating that can strongly reflect electromagnetic waves. In this way, when irradiated by the opponent's radar, the reflection of the electromagnetic waves of the real warhead is very similar.

So, suddenly, a flower appeared on the radar vehicle of the Patriot Air Defense Missile Company.

In later generations, the United States spared no effort to build a national ballistic missile defense system. One of the most important technological breakthroughs is the identification of real and fake warheads.

But now, this is just beginning.

After flying into the sky, they suddenly found that they were facing more than three targets, but thirty, three hundred, and even more targets.

Which one looks the same, who is the target they locked in before?

Patriot missiles are already confused.

In later generations, Patriot missiles could strangle the Scud missiles in large numbers because it was just a backward second-generation missile. Even so, various decrypted documents proved that the actual interception rate was not that high at all.

Iraq's Scud did not cause more damage to them. The key reason was that their missiles were too poor and many of them were knocked away.

And now, facing more advanced missiles, they simply do not have enough technology to overcome all difficulties.

In terms of ballistic missile defense, it is always a bottomless pit. Due to technical limitations, there is still a long way to go to be able to truly intercept the missiles fired by the opponent without any leakage.

Although Patriot missiles are constantly being launched, Iraq's ballistic missiles are still falling down, and the interception success rate is less than 10%.

Israel's air base was once again hit by a fatal blow. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
