Chapter 1237: Israel's Armaments
The Israeli army has the most powerful armament system in the Middle East, which is larger than the combined armaments of the Iraq-Syria Federation and even the current Middle East coalition forces. Bayi Chinese≯＞≧<﹤≤<<≤≤<≦≦<≦
Among them are more than 4,000 main battle tanks, more than 10,000 various armored vehicles and armored transport vehicles, of which more than 6,000 armored vehicles are used for direct combat, and 4,000 to 5,000 various half-track armored vehicle transport vehicles.
In terms of artillery, Israel also has the most powerful artillery force in the Middle East. Among them, there are more than 500 towed artillery pieces, more than 1,000 self-propelled artillery pieces, and three to four hundred rocket launchers of various calibers.
There are as many as five or six thousand 60 mortars used in infantry combat, and one or two thousand mortars of various calibers in total, and some of these mortars are self-propelled mortars installed on armored Assault vehicle.
There are more rocket launchers. There is only one type of rocket launcher in the Israeli army, the 82mm B-300 rocket launcher.
There are also hundreds of recoilless guns, and the remaining various individual bazookas are all in the thousands.
And so far in the war, Israel still has a large number of anti-aircraft guns hidden.
Israel has thousands of anti-aircraft guns with a caliber of 20 mm, hundreds of sets of the Xiaoxie bomb gun integrated air defense system, and nearly 2,000 sets of individual low-altitude missiles, including Stinger, Red Eye, and Xiaoxie .
There are also quite a few anti-tank missiles, ranging from American TOW, Dragon, to refractory box, Mapatz, gill, and more than 2,000 anti-tank missiles.
With such a huge armament, even when all the main Iron Dome systems on the ground have been destroyed, the Israeli ground forces still have strong battlefield air defense capabilities.
Especially for helicopter units in offensive operations, the threat level on the battlefield is extremely high.
The Israeli air force has not been completely destroyed. Of course, it does not mean that there are fighter jets that can take off and fight in Israel, but the armed helicopters and other helicopters equipped by the Israeli army.
In the past few years, Israel has been strengthening the combat effectiveness of its ground forces, especially greatly enhancing its rapid assault capabilities on the battlefield.
Therefore, the number of helicopters in Israel has been greatly increased in the past few years.
Israel has various types of armed helicopters, from Hughes to Cobra to Super Cobra, Apache and Longbow Apache, the total number is nearly five hundred.
five years ago,
There are only 48 longbow Apaches. In the past few years, Israel has bought more than 100 longbow Apaches from the United States.
The most powerful combat helicopters in active service of the U.S. Army were all delivered before the war.
But during the full-scale bombing of Israel, the Red Police Corps was very sure that it did not destroy many Israeli helicopters.
A large number of helicopters were all hidden before the war, and were even directly hidden in these civil air defense projects.
In fact, this is not surprising at all. Israel is very clear that it is difficult to guarantee air supremacy in its own hands in the face of the strong air force superiority of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation.
In addition, Israel has no defense depth. Once it loses its air supremacy, every piece of land will be shrouded in enemy air strikes.
Therefore, how to retain the current fighting power has become the key.
The civil defense project is the best choice for the Israeli army. Of course, not all troops can enter the civil defense project and wait for the order to counterattack.
Therefore, a considerable part of the army was put on the surface, preparing and attacking the enemy, fighting in advance, bravely defeating the enemy's spirit, and preparing for the subsequent counterattack.
Many of Israel's powerful armaments are hidden in these civil defense projects.
Save the most powerful combat capabilities and wait for the counterattack to come.
These are all issues that Cai Ruichen has to consider, and he cannot let Israel's wishful thinking succeed.
If in the middle or late stage of the war, Israel's elite troops suddenly launched a counterattack in various cities with the will to revenge and counterattack, it would be a huge disaster for the Red Police Corps, and it may even cause immeasurable damage. losses, leading to the defeat of the war.
After all, it only occupies the air superiority, and the Israeli army has geographical advantages and harmonious people. Relatively speaking, the Israeli side is also fully capable of counterattacking.
Although the current combat situation, everything seems to be going very smoothly, but judging from the collection and analysis of various situations on the battlefield, the main force of the Israeli ground forces did not directly participate in the battle.
A large number of advanced weapons and equipment have not been shown.
This has almost become Cai Ruichen's heart disease. If this problem is not solved, it will be like a pain in his back.
No one knows when Israel's elite ground forces will launch a surprise attack.
Moreover, Israel still has many powerful arms, including four elite paratrooper brigades, who have never shown up.
Cai Ruichen couldn't help but suspect that in any secret airport in Israel, these Israeli paratroopers had already made preparations for a surprise parachute attack.
This is entirely possible. After all, the air force is not omnipotent. As long as the other party plans well, they can completely avoid surveillance.
For example, civil aviation airliners, or other aircraft, may become the means of transport for paratroopers.
In the command center of the base, there are also non-stop discussions on follow-up issues in Israel. The most discussed topic is this civil air defense project.
More than 1,000 kilometers of civil air defense projects have tens of thousands of various concealed exits, and there may be exits of civil air defense projects in every place.
Even if some of the exits are found and the troops enter the battle, even if they enter a group army, they will not be able to control every part of this place extending in all directions.
But no matter what, the war will continue, not to mention that the Red Police Corps is not really helpless.
"Commander, this is the latest battle report. The battle in the old city is drawing to a close. So far, there are no Israeli reinforcements from the civil defense project."
In the headquarters of the First Army, Cai Ruichen listened to the report of Al Yaser, nodded and said: "Don't be careless. The old city is the only commanding height in Jerusalem. If you control this commanding height, you can overlook most of the city's battlefields, and you can also fight against the enemy." There are multiple routes, both offensive and defensive, and the Israeli side cannot easily give up this place."
"We understand that the current geological inspection team has begun geological surveys in the old city. It has been confirmed that there are civil air defense projects with a very complicated structure under the old city, but it is still uncertain how many troops are hidden inside." (To be continued.)
