It is very difficult to intercept ballistic missiles. In the 1980s, the American Patriot missile conducted an interception test in Pakistan and accurately hit the target.

However, it was just a carefully planned performance at that time. The ballistic missiles launched were completely known to all kinds of data, and it was just a planned collision.

But now, the Iraqis will not notify the United States of their launch data. Five whistling Scud missiles took off from the desert area in southern Iraq and flew to Saudi Arabia!

The Patriot missile position at the Dahelan base is already in high tension at this time. According to the data sent back in China, the Patriot air defense missile forces are working nervously.

The an/mpq-53 phased array radar is powered and scans the airspace in the direction of Iraq. Whether it can be successfully intercepted depends on whether the phased array radar can detect the target.

Finally, under the unblinking gaze of the radar operator, an echo finally appeared on the screen, and three missiles were all sent to it!

Three! What to do?

"Automatic method, ready to intercept." said the missile force commander.

All operators are concentrated in the combat control station, which is the combat central nervous system of the Patriot Firepower Unit, which provides command, control and communication and fire control. Thanks to the advanced electronic technology of the United States, human-computer interaction is adopted here, which can be used to identify and prioritize targets by computers, or the combat control station and computer can be completely autonomously controlled by the entire combat.

At this time, manual operation may not necessarily achieve much accuracy. Leaving the weapon to control it yourself is the best choice.

The computer system began to work quickly. In addition to the data intercepted by the phased array radar, there are also data transmitted by satellites. After comparing and accurately computing each other, the best launch time has also arrived.

Outside, on the quadruple missile launcher, a roar, the Patriot missile broke the packaging of the missile box in front, and the missile was lifted off in the hot flames.

One, another, intercepted three ballistic missiles at the same time, and two Patriot missiles intercepted one Scud, so a total of six missiles were launched.

Interception puts huge pressure on the computer system. The computer is constantly solving it.

"Target No. 1 is missing." At this moment, the operator suddenly reported.

Three missiles aimed at the same time, and the phased array radar divided three beams to monitor the three missiles. The computer system had full load calculations, but it still lost a target!

This is not the time to complain. There are two targets that must be destroyed!

At this time, the Patriot missile has entered the middle stage of command guidance. The phased array radar continues to track the "Patriot" missiles in flight and issues instructions in time according to the actual flight conditions to correct the flight trajectory.

All of this is calculated in seconds. Soon, it entered the final stage. Whether it could be shot down can be seen in a few seconds! As a missile with a semi-active radar seeker, the Patriot missile is activated at this time. Through the illumination radar at the lower end of the phased array radar, the Patriot missile begins to enter the process of autonomous flight.

Get close, just get close to the near-explosion fuse when it starts to work, the Patriot missile's warhead can shoot down the Scud missile!

Looking at the highlights on the radar screen, everyone held their breath.

Damn it! Looking at the two light spots, they flew over, but they did not get close to 20 meters away. Everyone took a breath.

Neither missile was intercepted!

There is only one last target left, so you must intercept it!

Finally, the fifth Patriot missile accurately captured the target. At a distance of eighteen meters, the radio near-explosion fuse detonated the killing warhead of the rupture fragment. Countless fragments flew towards the warhead of the Scud missile opposite. During high-speed flight, even a tiny embroidery needle will bring huge killing effects!

"Boom!" The missile exploded in the air and the Scud was intercepted!

"Success!" The battalion commander of the missile battalion stood up happily and was almost jumping.

In actual combat, our own Patriot missile intercepted the Scud!

However, the opponent shot three shots, and only one shot was intercepted!

The other two missiles were flying in quickly and launching Patriot missiles again to intercept it, which was too late.

"It is expected to land at the desert five kilometers away." Looking at the final data given by the computer system, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Five kilometers! The Iraqi Scud missile has a little bit of accuracy!

Successfully intercepted the Scud missile! Iraq launched three missiles at the Daheran base, all of which fell into vain! Iraq launched two Scud missiles at Riyadh, and were shot down by Pakistan's air defense missile forces deployed in Riyadh!

Norman Schwartzkopf, who received the news, was very happy that Pakistan's missile forces could even shoot down Scud! This has nothing to do with the United States, and the United States wants to promote its own Patriot missiles!

So, on that day, the global prime time TV broadcast this scene. On the Patriot missile position, a ball of white smoke rose up and accurately hit the Scud missile fired from Iraq!

"Today, Iraq launched ten Scud missiles at Saudi Arabia. Our Patriot missiles intercepted nine of them without causing any casualties. After our missile system was run-in, the final interception rate would reach 100%. We will not let any fish that escaped the net! Iraq thought that Scud missiles were their trump card, but in fact, for us, Scud was just a gun without a spear tip!"

The American spokesperson claimed proudly.

"Bang." Mhamad turned off the TV, his face was intriguing.

"The interception rate of American Patriot missiles is less than 30%. They fired two volleys and used six missiles to intercept three targets, and finally only one was intercepted." Musha Af said next to Mhamad.

"Where is our missile?" asked Mhamad.

"We intercepted one of Iraq's two targets at Riyadh, and the other fell to the outskirts of Riyadh without causing casualties." Musha Af said.

Pakistan's air defense system is simplified from the ship-based friendship shield system. The biggest improvement is that the final stage is active radar guidance. Even so, the interception failed once and was successful once.

This time, the success was due to the early warning from the US early warning satellite.

Mhamad nodded. It is not that simple to intercept ballistic missiles. Pakistan can already achieve an interception rate of one from scratch, which is quite high.

"Continue to test our system in actual combat and improve it," Mhamad said. "I believe our technicians will definitely increase our interception rate."

Americans want to show off, so let them pretend. As time goes by, the cumulative error of the Patriot system is getting bigger and bigger. They do not realize that if the system is restarted, there will definitely be a major accident in the future.

"Mr. President, Xiao sent a message. He was ready to ask when he could be dispatched."

"It will take another twenty days." Mhamad said: "Let the US Air Force severely strike Saddam's arrogance first, and also let Saddam accumulate resentment."

After saying that, Mhamad pinched his eyebrows. This was a big move. Every step he took must be considered. There is absolutely no chance to go again, and he must not make mistakes.

On March 6, 1993, on the 20th day of the Gulf War, sitting in front of the TV and watching the news of the day and following Lilith to feel the beauty of life, Mhamad finally received the news that the things had been delivered to Syria.

Although Saddam vowed to make the Americans blood flow, his backward army could not bear the burden.

The war lasted for only twenty days, and although Iraq's ground forces did not suffer much loss, the ground air defense system was almost wiped out by many troops led by the United States. Even if they survived, they would not dare to turn on the machine again to avoid a second blow.

As for the Iraqi Air Force, after a zero-to-5 air battle with Pakistani fighters from multiple countries, they never dared to take off again and all hid in the solid air defense hangar.

This air battle is a completely replica of the battle between the Pakistani and the Soviet army in the Afghan War.

Six MiG-29 fighters that were launched in the air should be sure to fight against two F16s.

The MiG 29 "fulcrum" is a front-line support fighter carefully made by the Soviet Union. Although the Soviet army's original MiG 29 was often beaten by Pakistan's F14 during the Afghan War, in order to protect its own face and arms sales interests, the Soviet Union deliberately concealed the MiG 29's war damage, and Pakistan was also happy to promote the "power" of the MiG 29 to continue to seek assistance from the United States. So Saddam initially had full confidence in this fighter, believing that with the MiG 29's excellent air combat capabilities, the security of Iraqi airspace could be protected. Moreover, these fighters were piloted by pilots from Warsaw Pact countries! Pilots hired by Saddam at high salaries will definitely win!
