Chapter 1351 Iran with 2 Armies
Cai Ruichen, who promoted this matter, was naturally the one who cared most about the progress of the incident.
The decisive battle attitude shown by the United States also reassured him somewhat.
The current attitude of the United States has shown that the time for war is not far away.
The momentum of the media, the blockade of news about the actions of the troops, and the purposeful transfer of the aircraft carrier fleet are all developing towards the ending that Cai Ruichen hopes to see.
It's just that such a result is too cruel for the Iranian people.
With the development of the incident to today's situation, Cai Ruichen only needs to wait for the result to appear.
If the United States wants to deal with Iran, it needs enough time to prepare. War is not a child's play, not to mention that Iran is not so easy to deal with.
Iran's ISIS, Languo, and Life Guards are the elite of Iran's defense forces. They are among the countries in the Middle East, except for the Iraq-Syria Federation, which are considered to be very advanced in terms of modernization.
Moreover, in addition to the Islamic State, the Lange, and the Guards, Iran also has its own regular army. In fact, Iran's ruling class consists of the regular army faction and the Olema Group.
Olemar represents faith and controls the most powerful ISIS, Lange, and Guards. Iran's regular army is left over from the military forces of the Pahlavi Dynasty, plus the original royalist party. .
Although this force does not have the support of the public, it also occupies a very important position in government agencies and the national economy.
Of course, the power of the government is still firmly in the hands of the Olemar Group, but half of the power at the grassroots level is controlled by the military and the original royalist forces. However, these two power groups only rely on Olemar The breath of the Ma Group survived.
The ISIS, Lange, and Life Guards have four arms, the Army, the Sea Force, the Air Force Force, and the Marine Corps.
Iran's regular army, on the other hand, is composed of a very traditional army, army and air force.
It is extremely rare in the world that a country like Iran has two regular armed forces.
In fact, Iran's regular army has always been under full control, and everything needs to be decided by the priests of the Olema Group.
The army was originally inherited from the Pahlavi dynasty, but in fact, it has never been trusted.
Various middle and senior military officers,
They were all replaced by priests from the Olemar Group. The rights of priests are always greater than those of military chiefs.
There are no political commissars in the ISIS, Lange, and Guards, but in Iran's regular army, each level has a political officer who controls the troops of each class.
Although the highest officer in the army is the military chief in name, in fact, power has always been in the hands of the political chief.
This also makes Iran's regular army seem to be adopted. Although they have the status of a regular army, they have never been treated like a regular army.
After the Gulf War, Iran also began to change the existence of one country and two armies, and established a joint command to promote the integration of two different forces.
But so far, Iran is still divided into ISIS, Lange, Life Guard and regular army.
One is still a trump card, and the other is still like a wild child.
However, this is not to say that Iran's military strength is not strong. Iran has a population of nearly 80 million, and the combined strength of the regular army, ISIS, the Lange, and the Guards has reached 900,000.
It is the military force with the largest force structure and population among the countries in the Middle East.
Moreover, Iran has a relatively complete military service system. When facing the life and death of the country, it can recruit nearly 20 million troops.
Of course, this kind of situation is almost impossible to happen. Modern military warfare is no longer the kind of step-by-step attack during World War II.
Once it really comes to the last moment, Iran can arm tens of millions of troops, which can be said to be super remarkable.
If you don't brag, there is no doubt that Iran can arm millions of troops casually, and Iran also fully possesses such capabilities and has such a huge weapon reserve.
This is why Cai Ruichen continues to use methods, because Iran is not a country to be messed with.
But no matter how difficult it is to provoke, it is no more difficult to provoke than Israel. Although Iran has a strong military structure, there is still a certain gap between the advanced and the advanced.
Just relying on Iran's huge population and military strength, coupled with enough land as a strategic depth, it is difficult for even the United States to eat it in one go.
The most important thing is that Iran has a lot of weapons and equipment.
Iran has more than 2,000 main battle tanks, many of which are third-generation main battle tanks such as the T-72 and the European Emirates tank. Iran also has its own domestic main battle tank-Zulfikar.
Iran's army is not low in modernization. It has thousands of various armored vehicles and more than 600 helicopters of various types. This is not at all comparable to countries like Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria.
In terms of artillery, Iran is also a veteran artillery power. It has nearly 2,000 large-caliber towed artillery pieces, as well as three to four hundred self-propelled artillery pieces, plus a large number of rocket launchers.
What really makes the United States fearful is that the missile force owned by Iran is the existence that can be called a killer.
Iran is the most powerful missile country in the Middle East, and even Israel is far from enough.
In order to deal with the future technology group, Israel has developed missiles crazily in the past few years. However, the history of Iran's missile development started almost at the same time as Israel, and the production quantity is larger, and the development process is longer.
Iran has hundreds of various Scud missiles. Although the range and hit rate of Scud missiles are all lacking, they cannot support the large number.
It is said that the United States' naval base in Bahrain faces so many missile strikes from Iran, that is enough for the United States to drink a pot.
Once the salvo is fired, the US naval base in Bahrain will be very difficult to defend.
Moreover, the Scud is only a missile equipped by Iran in the early stage. Iran also has its own advanced domestic missiles, mainly Meteor and Conqueror.
Iran's missile route is also based on precision strikes, especially in the development of missiles in recent years. After Cai Ruichen deliberately opened the precision guidance chip, the accuracy of Iran's missile strikes has been significantly improved.
The range of these two Iranian missiles is between 200 kilometers and 2,000 kilometers. They are placed in the northwest region of Iran, and they can even hit the central region of Europe.
In the past, the goal of Iran's development of missile forces was placed in the direction of Israel. What it pursued was to be able to accurately strike any place in Tel Aviv.
And although these missiles cannot attack the mainland of the United States, there is no problem at all when they are used to attack American military bases in the Middle East.
If war really breaks out, the United States must ensure that these missiles can be destroyed as much as possible in the first round of air strikes, otherwise all US military bases in the Middle East will inevitably become the targets of Iran's attack.
There is no doubt about this, especially the air base in Saudi Arabia, which will inevitably become the core target of the attack.
Not to mention the Meteor-3 missile that can hit two thousand kilometers, even the Conqueror missile with a range of only two hundred kilometers is enough to make a military base near the United States drink a pot.
The Conqueror missile is Iran's most advanced tactical missile. It is propelled by solid fuel and can be quickly transferred, deployed and launched. It has always been called by Iran as one of the most accurate missiles in the world.
Iran has also conducted many test launches of this missile, and the effect is indeed excellent, and the accuracy has reached the point that Iran is boasting about.
As for the Conqueror missiles, Iran also has a very large number. Including other missiles, the total number exceeds a thousand.
With a thousand missiles, even the United States needs to carefully weigh them. Once a war breaks out, these missiles may have devastating consequences.
At the same time, these missiles also have a strong deterrent effect on Europe, and can also make some European countries consider their own security.
Based on Iran's missile force, Cai Ruichen can also understand the hesitation of Obama and Obama. In fact, even if it is replaced by the current Iraq-Syria Federation, it is still difficult to say that it can take Iran steadily.
Even dealing with Israel is easier than dealing with Iran.
Israel has no strategic depth, and its coastal line is very short, while Iran has strategic depth, which allows Iran to have enough depth to arm more troops, and there is room for maneuver.
And Iran has a longer coastline, which is completely unblockable.
And even if the Red Police Corps can kill Iran, it will inevitably have to pay a considerable price, and the United States is no exception.
After all, Iran is not suitable for Iraq during the Bush era. It is stronger and more difficult to deal with.
What's more, Iran also has the strongest navy in the Middle East besides the Iraq-Syria Federation.
Of course, this navy is only relatively speaking, there are no tigers and monkeys dominating the mountains.
If you only count the Gulf region, Iran is indeed a naval power, and it also has a lot of warships, including three Kirov submarines known as oceanic black holes.
In fact, Iran has always attached great importance to the development of the navy. Whether it was the original Pahlavi Dynasty or the current Iran, it attaches great importance to the construction of the navy.
But the Persian Gulf is a strait with a length of about 1,000 kilometers, a maximum width of no more than 200 kilometers, and an average water depth of 80 meters.
In such a place, it is impossible to develop an ocean-going navy with large warships, only some small and medium-sized ships.
And Iran is also very aware of this, and Iran also has a very complete shore-based anti-ship missile system, which is enough to block most of the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.
For this reason, Iran has adopted a large number of combat boats that are flexible and good at assault, giving people the feeling of a sea guerrilla.
However, Cai Ruichen has never underestimated this Iranian guerrilla force at sea, especially when the Iranian-Syrian federal navy needs to enter and leave the Strait of Hormuz frequently. It's not big, but it's also ferocious with fangs.
The battle group of small boats is flexible and flexible, and the freeboard is very low, so they are basically not worried about the attack of anti-ship missiles. In the Persian Gulf, under the cover of shore-based anti-ship missiles, the blockade of the strait or It's like a locked state.
Moreover, with the improvement of Iran's defense industry technology in recent years, the pace of modernization and development of the Iranian Navy is very obvious.
When developing and producing ships on its own, Iran also kept seeking to import advanced ships. Among them, it imported a large number of Chinese cat new missile boats from China. Although the length is only 23 meters, it can hold four anti-ship missiles.
Iran also has some large surface ships, three frigates of more than 1,300 tons, two corvettes of more than 1,000 tons, five tank landing ships, ten hovercraft, and five mine-laying boats...
In fact, such a navy is childish in front of a real naval power. Although it seems very threatening, in fact, no naval power will take such an opponent seriously.
Instead of worrying about these navies, it is better to worry about Iran's shore-based missiles.
As for Iran's air force, it is currently at a low level. Iran's current air force is the Panda fighter jets imported from the United States by the Pahlavi Dynasty, and there are also some MiG-29 fighter jets, and the rest are second-generation fighter jets.
In addition, in the past two decades, Iran's third-generation fighter jets have not had a suitable source of spare parts. The number of third-generation fighter jets currently in existence is only a few dozen.
The third-generation fighter jets will inevitably need advanced air-to-air missiles to cooperate in combat operations, otherwise their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
The lack of missiles is also the main problem facing Iran at present. The missiles currently owned by Iran are also the Sparrow or Sidewinder missiles purchased from the United States during the Pahlavi Dynasty. The number is very small.
Such an air force, in fact, is completely unequipped to support a high-intensity air battle.
This is also the weakest point in the Iranian army, and it does not have the ability to dominate the air at all.
Moreover, the Mirage fighter jet owned by the Iranian Air Force was a gift from the Iraqi Air Force to Iran, even the aircraft and equipment, during the Gulf War to avoid the Desert Storm operation.
These gifts not only included dozens of Mirage fighter jets, but also Exocet anti-ship missiles, three Il-76 transport aircraft, and some French air defense missiles and ground attack missiles.
It is a pity that if it is only facing ordinary small countries, then Iran's air force does have an advantage, but if it is facing a powerful country, such an air force is completely delivering food.
This is why Iran wants to develop so many missiles, because the Iranians know very well that there is no way to stop the enemy's invasion simply by relying on the air force.
Not to mention the powerful U.S. Air Force, even against the Saudi Air Force, Iran will not have any advantage.
Of course, if a war breaks out between Iran and Saudi Arabia, it is entirely possible for Iran to destroy all Saudi air force bases in the first place.
Modern warfare is a targeted process, and making use of strengths and avoiding weaknesses is an inevitable means, and this trend will only deepen in the future. (To be continued.) To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
