Chapter 1121 Long drive straight in
Unfortunately, it is impossible to deceive the MiG-25's radar with this move. Although the two light spots almost coincide, they still sent the missile the correct command.
It was not until they were guided within forty kilometers that they faced the Israeli escort fighter jets about to enter the launch position that they chose to leave immediately.
Even the latest and improved Sparrow missiles have a maximum speed of only Mach 4, and their speed will gradually decrease during flight. Therefore, it is almost impossible for them to catch up with two MiG-25 fighters dozens of kilometers away flying northward at triple speed of sound.
The MiG-25 tail engine is working vigorously and returns to Syria's airspace, and here, four missiles have completed their mission.
Two of them were confused by the opponent's escort fighter after their autonomous guidance and attacked the escort fighter, causing one to be shot down, while the other two accurately hit the early warning aircraft.
The E-3 early warning aircraft, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars, was all shot down.
At this moment, fireworks all over the sky were already ringing. The first batch of ballistic missiles attacked by Iraq arrived at important Israeli military targets, not only air force bases, radar stations, key military departments, and Tel Aviv's Ministry of National Defense, were within the attack range of Iraq's cruise missiles.
Since Israel wants to expand the scale of the war, then Kusai will definitely not be stingy with his own force!
Although the Patriot missile system, which was highly anticipated by the United States, achieved a successful success when intercepting the shooting range, the hit rate was almost 100%. However, when shooting the target in real-fire, it was just a problem of fake warheads that had completely failed their interception.
In this confrontation between spear and shield, shield is a completely loser. If you want to intercept ballistic missiles, there are many technical problems that cannot be overcome. The United States wants to seek absolute security and be able to attack others wantonly while trying to seek absolute security while attacking the other party. This idea is not so easy to achieve.
From the evening of July 5 to the early morning of July 6, almost overnight, the situation in the Middle East changed a lot again. Israel, which was unwilling to fail, almost used all its air force to repeat the classic battles in history and use a beautiful air strike to kill the Arabs' air power.
Unfortunately, it is no longer the same as before. The Arab air force is no longer weaker than Israel, both in terms of quantity and quality.
Israel's early warning aircraft were shot down, and almost all Israel's air bases had been destroyed. Only more than 30 of the more than 100 fighter jets attacked by Israel came back. They only killed more than a dozen Arab aircraft. No matter how you look at this ratio, Israel is a complete loser.
While winning in the air, Iraq's ground forces also attacked again. After resting, the powerful first armored division of Iraq moved quickly to the south. Almost overnight, they defeated two armored brigades attacked by Israel. They came outside Jerusalem and followed the Saudi Second Armored Division to completely encircle Jerusalem. In the early morning, the Iraqi army had already launched a battle to siege the city.
The 35th Iraqi Armored Division in the Gaza Strip quickly dispatched northwards and occupied the empty Ashkelon. As long as they went eastwards, they could connect with Jerusalem and divide Israel into two pieces.
On the northern line, the 10th Armored Division was also moving quickly. Their military peaks pointed directly to the Gagali area. Although Israel still had powerful armored troops in that area, because the armored soldiers in the Golan Heights were always eyeing them, they could not distribute their troops when the situation in Israel was at its most dangerous.
In fact, the most important issue is still the Air Force. The Israeli army can play a great role in previous wars, and the Air Force plays the greatest role, especially in modern high-tech wars. Without air supremacy, there will be almost no confidence in winning.
The current situation is very unfavorable for Israel. It seems that the entire Israel is in danger. Now, relying solely on Israel's own military strength, it is probably in danger of destruction of its country.
If there is no peace talks now, and if the US aircraft carrier formation arrives, Israel will be finished. It seems that the only way before them is peace talks.

"Our American force is to protect the lives and property of our people and protect the national interests of our entire United States. However, it is not a tool of hegemony. We can see that the wrong actions made by our current government are not the ultimate way to solve the problem. Our Middle East policy is definitely not to go against all oil-producing countries." Clinton seized this opportunity and violently criticized Bush's current Middle East policy.
The American people must not be fooled. Now that the US economy is in a mess, the Bush administration has always tried to use force to solve the problem, which has made the situation in the Middle East uncontrollable.
The relationship between the United States and the oil-producing countries in the Middle East was broken down during Bush's tenure, which was the stupidest thing Bush had done.
Now, countries in the Middle East have finally launched the most important blow to the actions of the United States. Arab countries announced that given the current attitude of the United States, they have been spared no effort to support Israel, a terrorist country, the Arab countries plan to gradually use the US dollar as the currency for oil settlement.
As soon as the news came out, the global outcry was in a global outcry. The reason why the US dollar is so strong now is because countries want to buy oil, they have to have US dollars. If they want to have US dollars, they have to exchange their own things with the Americans for the money printed by the Americans. If the settlement of oil does not require US dollars, the US dollar system will completely collapse.
If only one oil-producing country said this, the United States would have been in a position to face the enemy without hesitation, kicking open their doors and beating their leaders hard. However, when oil-producing countries in all regions of the Middle East say this, it would not be so easy for the United States to take action.
"We absolutely cannot tolerate the actions of the Arab countries. Now they have occupied almost all the land they lost in 67 years, and Jerusalem is being besieged by them," Cheney said.
Bush frowned. He knew that Israel was facing the biggest crisis now. What kind of support should the United States support Israel at this time?
"So far, our garrison bases in Israel have not been attacked by Iraqis. Moreover, the Arabs' series of military operations are actually relatively restrained. I think their purpose is to help Palestine build a state." Secretary of State James said: "Iraq has always avoided the expansion of war."
"So in this way, should we let Iraq and Israel shake hands and achieve peace again?" Cheney said: "Then should we give up all our troops in Israel and our interests in the Middle East to Iraq? We need to act resolutely to help Israel achieve strategic victory again. At critical moments, we can even use nuclear weapons!"
Cheney was very angry when he heard James's statement. James said this, as if he was helping the enemy.
"The fact we have observed is that Iraq already has strategic missiles. The one that launched the satellite yesterday was not a launch vehicle, but a ballistic missile. It uses maneuverable cold launch technology. Although we have no evidence, Iraq's weapon should have a lot to do with the Soviet Union. There are many Soviet technicians in Iraq. Now, the Soviet Union is almost over. Iraq has poached a large number of talents. There must be rocket experts here." William, director of the CIA, said: "And we are not sure whether those poor and crazy Soviets will secretly sell their nuclear warheads to Iraq. Even the top leaders of the KGB are now busy smuggling Soviet weapons to make money. Even if there is no nuclear warhead, Iraq's pesticide factories can produce chemical weapons at any time."
Although William's words were not loud, the meaning of the words was enough to shock everyone. They knew that William's meaning was that if the United States really used nuclear weapons against Iraq, then they would have to bear the retaliatory counterattack launched by Iraq at any time.
They are all familiar with the character of Kusai. If you have revenge, you must avenge it, and the counterattack is even more fierce.
"If we use conventional force to help Israel solve the current problem, how much force do we need to use? If we urgently draw the Turkish garrison, are we confident of winning?" Bush asked.
General Powell shook his head and said, "His Excellency the President, the more important issue now is not the determination and combat effectiveness of our military, but we have no reason to send troops again, because, under the instigation of Clinton, our budget for increasing military expenditure has been rejected. Our fiscal deficit this year is too large, and military expenditures have greatly exceeded the budget. Our military will have to save a living in the second half of this year."
This is the most depressing time for the military, they actually have no money!
Due to the Arab claims, the US dollar's international status has declined, which has further led to a decline in the US economy. If Bush was stronger at this time, then it would be okay to be able to persuade Congress and start a war to drive the US economy.
But now, it is the most critical time of the election! For Bush, the most depressing thing is that although he is a Republican Party, the Democratic Party is the majority in Congress. Although the Jewish power is very strong in the United States, at this critical time, Americans are obviously much more concerned about the amount of their salary next month than the war half of the earth.
