Chapter 1444: The Choice of the U.S. Army
A dull atmosphere spread in the Pentagon. For this war, the United States was fully prepared before it started.
In just a dozen hours, organizing two such efficient attacks was only possible with the support of bases all over the world.
However, the results of the two air strikes also told the United States a very serious fact that the powerful defense system of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation has not been completely destroyed.
The loss of regional air defense capabilities does not mean that the Iraqi-Syrian Federation has completely lost its battlefield air defense capabilities.
The powerful Aegis air defense system of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation has a short-range air defense network in addition to regional air defense.
The air defense capability of the combination of ammunition and artillery can completely destroy short-range and low-altitude fighter jets. If these air defense missiles are not destroyed as much as possible, it is impossible for American fighter planes to enter the battlefield safely.
"Organize another missile attack?"
After a moment of silence, the battlefield report came out. The entire missile attack, under the strong electromagnetic interference of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation, had no effective results at all.
At this time, someone suggested that if the war capability of the Iraq-Syria Federation cannot be completely destroyed, then the final result of this war will be endless.
The Iraqi-Syrian Federation, which owns the future technology group, is also fighting on the ground, and is fully capable of dragging the US military to the battlefield in the Middle East.
The U.S. economy has just suffered a major blow from the Washington attack, and the Iran war in the early stage also paid a huge war price, and there is not much ability to continue to withstand a long-term war of attrition.
If you want to end the war, you can only destroy the war potential of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation, so that the Iraqi-Syrian Federation has no follow-up war materials to fight with the US military.
Otherwise, the Iraqi-Syrian Federation can continuously produce weapons and equipment to arm more troops, especially the Iranian army.
At that time, let alone dealing with the elite troops of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation, the US military's war in Iran will also fall into an endless war of attrition.
"It is difficult for missiles to work. Under the strong electromagnetic interference of the Iraq-Syria Federation, no amount of missiles will be effective."
"In the territory of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation, we do not have the ability to compete for electromagnetic control in a short period of time. The only way is to send fighter jets into the territory of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation to bomb the target in the air. This is the most effective means."
"Although we have successfully destroyed most of the regional air defense radars of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation,
But they still have field air defense capabilities, and it is not safe for fighter jets to enter. "
"But the United States now needs a victory to restore its image. We need to give an account of the victory to the whole United States, otherwise Congress may not support this war without victory."
"War is inherently an adventure. We must have confidence in our stealth fighter jets. The mission they develop is to destroy the enemy's air defense system and seize air supremacy."
"I suggest that all Raptor fighter jets be loaded with conventional bombs and return to the battlefield of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation to carry out volley strikes on key targets in the Iraqi-Syrian Federation. With the electronic warfare capabilities of the Raptor fighter jets, they will not be affected by the opponent's strong electromagnetic interference. .”
...
Inside the Pentagon, there was a lot of chatter for a while. Secretary of Defense Carter listened for a while, and gradually turned his attention to the silent Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He is also the current Air Force general and the commander-in-chief of the US Air Force Admiral Paul. Will.
As if seeing Carter's gaze, Paul coughed, and all the voices in the entire high command stopped, and his eyes also focused.
"Generals, the fundamental strategy of this war will not change. I also believe that our air force will be able to perfectly complete the mission assigned to them."
Paul calmly opened his mouth and ordered: "Let all Raptor fighter jets return to the air force airport, load them with conventional ammunition, and launch the third round of air strikes. At the same time, order all Lightning fighter squadrons in Europe to jointly launch an attack."
On the European side, in addition to deploying two wings of Raptor fighter jets, the U.S. military also deployed four additional squadrons of Lightning fighter jets.
The tradition of the U.S. military is a squadron of twelve Lightning fighters, a brigade generally has two squadrons, and a wing has two brigades.
Four lightning fighter squadrons add up to forty-eight lightning fighters.
And the four squadrons in Europe are all Lightning fighter jets belonging to the air force, capable of air dominance operations and precise strikes against ground targets.
The U.S. Navy and Marine Corps also have their own Lightning fighter models, but currently only the Lightning fighters of the four European squadrons can cooperate with the Raptor fighters.
After Admiral Paul's order was officially issued, the conventional fighter jets that were planning to carry out the third bomber also suspended their missions, leaving the airport's take-off runway empty.
In fact, the third air strike was the highlight. The Pentagon prepared hundreds of conventional fighter jets and two squadrons of B-1B bombers, including Stratofortress bombers, to attack all key industries in the Iraqi-Syrian Federation. All-round bombing of railway bridge traffic.
After the third round of attacks, ensure that the domestic transportation and kung fu capabilities of the Iraq-Syria Federation are reduced to the lowest level.
Now, the remaining air defense capability of the Iraq-Syria Federation prevents the United States from carrying out a third bombing easily.
After all, if too many aircraft were lost during the bombing, it would be unbearable for the US military.
You must know that the United States has no idea of a full-scale war so far in this war.
When the Raptor fighter jets that carried out the second air strike all returned to the air force base, reloaded ammunition and fuel, and were about to take off again, nearly three hours had passed.
During these three hours, the global media have also begun to conduct comprehensive reports.
Outside the imperial court in Marin City, a large number of reporters gathered here, all wanting to get first-hand official information.
And the future media company also kept broadcasting the latest news. The two rounds of air strikes by the US military, casualties and losses were all announced to the public.
This also gives the world a very intuitive war message.
During the second round of air strikes, missiles fell on many industrial areas and military airports in the Iraqi-Syrian Federation.
The report of Future Media Company also provided the world with detailed video images for the first time. In the images, the burning factories and the bombed airport also fully reflected the loss of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation under the US air strikes.
This also boosted the momentum of those international commentators. The counterattack of the US military began as expected, and the Iraqi-Syrian Federation began to suffer huge losses, as they said. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
