Chapter 445 Soviet Paratroopers

Molianko pulled the parapet rope and landed with the paratrooper carriage.

When his feet firmly stepped on the ground, Molenko pressed the umbrella-drag button, separated from the parachute, and ran towards the paratrooper. For the paratroopers, the landing process is the most dangerous moment. If the Iranians were moving fast enough, there might be troops rushing here!

Paratroopers descending from the sky determine that they cannot carry heavy weapons. Moreover, the range of paratroopers will be quite large, and the speed of the troops' aggregation determines the success or failure of the paratroopers.

Molenko ran quickly towards the paratrooper vehicle, which was their most important weapon.

It can be said that the Soviet Union was the founder of the airborne troops. Before World War II, the Soviet airborne troops had parachutes under observation by foreign observation groups. At that time, it shocked the entire Western world. After that, the Western world began to equip their own paratroopers. At that time, people could only land.

After World War II until the early 1960s, the Soviet Airborne Army was only equipped with asu-57 and asu-85 airborne self-propelled anti-tank guns, which were fire support weapons. After all, for airborne troops, the most threatening of the enemy's armored troops was the enemy. However, now, with the progress of mechanization of the troops, the Soviet Airborne Army was far behind, and they urgently needed to develop an assault combat weapon that could be airborne. Therefore, on the basis of the bmp-1 infantry fighting vehicle, the size, weight was reduced, and overhead airdrop technology was used to make a bmd-1 paratrooper fighting vehicle specially used for airborne troops.

The low turret, a 73mm 2a28 low-bore pressure howitzer, and a single-rail launcher of the Seg anti-tank missile above the turret. Other parachute members also quickly gathered towards the paratroopers closest to them.

The driver got into the cockpit and started the 6v water-cooled diesel engine. As the engine roared, the 300-horsepower diesel engine was started, and then one member after another got into the crew cabin behind.

Soon, the six members were filled, and the rest of the soldiers who had not found the chariot jumped to the upper part of the paratrooper car and grabbed the temporary welded handrail.

Amid the roar, paratroopers started to move, and new landing paratroopers kept jumping up and gathering in a rapid progress.

As the first paratroopers to set foot on the land of southern Iran, they need to quickly complete the combat mission assigned by their superiors!

The paratrooper chariot quickly started towards the eastern border.

The White House, the United States.

The Soviet Union's actions shocked the United States. Although the United States had long expected that the Soviet Union would not be willing to watch the United States kick open the door of Iran, the Soviet Union at that time did not react. Now, with the United States withdrawing from Iran, it seems that Iran has calmed down. Except for the Soviet Union supporting Iraq and fighting with Iran, no other incident happened.

But now, the Iranians are committing terrorist incidents in the Soviet Union for death, and the Soviet Union is facing tit for tat and actually sends troops to invade Iran! This makes the American top leaders begin to excite. Since the Soviet Union has taken action from the north, the United States may be able to advance again from the south!

There is nothing in northern Iran, and their oil resources are mainly along the Persian Gulf coast! Therefore, if the US army attacks along the south this time, we will first take over the cities such as Chah Bahar!

The top leaders of the United States were in high spirits until this amazing news came.

The Soviets and airborne troops have landed in Sistan Province in southern Iran!

"The intentions of the Soviets are already very obvious. They are definitely not just to teach HMN a lesson. They are to completely occupy Iran and open up the passage to the south!" National Security Assistant Brzezinski said: "This is something the Russians have always dreamed of since the Tsarist era! Back then, after the end of World War II, if it weren't for our firm opposition, the Soviets would not want to withdraw troops from Iran at all! And now, under the banner of counter-terrorism, the Soviets wanted to establish a passage to the south to the Indian Ocean!"

If the Soviets were just to teach HMN a lesson, they would never have airborne paratroopers to Sistan Province! You know, this is the exit of the Persian Gulf, the north shore of the Indian Ocean! If the United States can't see anything now, then the Americans' minds will be shit.

Moreover, the Soviets arrived there to prevent the United States from intervening! Even if the Soviet troops attacked from the north and the south, even if they played the full level of the Western 79 military exercise, it would take two or three days to advance. In the past two days, the United States must have blocked the southern gate!

"We must not let the Soviet conspiracy succeed! If the Soviets attack the Indian Ocean, the entire Indian Ocean will be under the control of the Soviet Union, and the most important energy in the Middle East will also face a serious crisis!" Defense Minister Harold said.

There is the sphere of influence of the United States, and the Soviets must not be involved!

"But now, the Soviets are already there. If we want to stop the Soviets' behavior, we can only have a war with the Soviets. Our air force has already had a contact." Secretary of State Warren said: "Just contact with the air force can limit the scale to a certain range. If our ground forces also contact, it will cause the situation to deteriorate rapidly. Everyone, we must keep the situation stable now, rather than triggering World War III."

Warren is a conservative, and the strength of the United States is not enough to provoke World War III! The best opportunity is when World War II just ended, when the Soviets had already killed tens of millions of men in battle, and the Soviets did not have nuclear weapons yet!

Now, war must not be easily triggered!

"This time it's different. The Soviets wanted to control the entire Iran! They wanted to open up the southward passage and control the Persian Gulf. Our Western European allies would never dare to take action like the last time they stood watching the fun. If we let the Soviets develop, once the Soviets controlled the entrance to the Persian Gulf, the entire Western Europe would have to look at the face of the Soviets!" Harold said.

"And, the Soviet paratroopers were seeking death. Without obtaining an airport in Iran, the fighter jets had to fly for at least half an hour before they could reach the south. Our fighter jets could pass in ten minutes of takeoff. Now, the sky above Sistan Province is ours, and their early warning aircraft could not keep flying. The fighter jets they escorted would not stay empty for more than ten minutes. Without air supremacy, those paratroopers could even be easily surrounded and annihilated by the Iranian border troops!" Brzezinski said.

The Soviets must have been terrified and dared to airdrop thousands of miles away! Before their ground troops arrived, the paratroopers were purely appetizers! (To be continued.)
