1477 What strategic missile does the United States use to hit Baghdad?
"Now the Front Command requires us to use intercontinental strategic missiles for long-range strikes. What do you think?" Regarding the current situation, we can temporarily consider whether to use long-range strategic missiles to strike military targets in Baghdad. This is the matter before the president.
"Carry a nuclear strike? This is absolutely not possible!" The president had asked about the nuclear strike before.
Baker was the first to object eagerly.
Nuclear strikes are absolutely not possible.
"No nuclear strikes are needed, use our conventional warheads to strike!" The president naturally knew that nuclear weapons should never be easily used.
"Using ballistic missile strikes is the most feasible solution at present. Unless they have long-range missiles that can intercept during the missile climbing stage, once the ballistic missile enters the atmosphere again, they will never be able to intercept it. No matter how dense the air defense firepower is, it is impossible for warheads with a speed of Mach above 7 in the sky too far away..." Cheney agreed with this statement. "If the Iraqis are not taught a lesson, perhaps any country can provoke the authority of the United States in the future!"
"This requires communication with the Soviet Union. Both of us know that the other side has a large number of nuclear warheads aiming at each other. Once they react excessively, it will completely trigger a world war..." Baker breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he did not use nuclear warheads to strike.
He even thought in his mind that if the president had to use nuclear strikes on Iraq, he would not be able to play with him.
Resign!
"It is indeed necessary to communicate with the Soviet Union. At the same time, this can also test whether the Soviet Union has any conspiracy. However, it is very likely that the Soviet Union will intercept our ballistic missiles..."
"A strategic intercontinental missile can only have greater power by carrying nuclear warheads. If it cannot carry nuclear warheads, even if our current missiles are installed with conventional warheads, it will be difficult to cause too much deterrence and achieve greater results..."
Cheney knew very well about their strategic missiles.
If it is launched from the United States, the current militia or peace guards will not carry enough warheads.
The range is long enough.
"The Hercules 2 warhead has 3,500 kilograms, and one can also be equivalent to the power of a small tactical nuclear warhead. There is no problem destroying a missile position..." Finally, he proposed to reactivate the Hercules 2 strategic intercontinental missile that has been decommissioned.
The power of this missile is sufficiently great.
It can fly 12,000 kilometers with a warhead of 3,500 kilometers.
"And, there is another advantage that these missiles do not need to consume defense budgets."
"No, even if this missile is activated, it does not make much sense. We need to experiment with the performance and power of our new strategic intercontinental missile. I suggest using the Peace Guard. This missile has been in service since 1986, but has not been tested in practice... At the same time, we can launch the sample missiles of the terminated Gnome Strategic Missile..." Faced with the debate, Cheney proposed his own new plan.
They need to use such practical opportunities to detect their missile performance.
The United States' intercontinental missile models are not as many as the Soviet Union, and its strike force and range are not as good as those of the Soviet Union. Therefore, such an opportunity must be used to conduct actual combat inspections of their missiles.
"Mobilize the Atlantic Fleet's missile nuclear submarines to conduct practical performance tests on the C-4 and D-5 submarine-launched missiles loaded on our missile nuclear submarines..."
Obviously, Cheney hopes to take advantage of this opportunity to conduct actual combat inspections of all strategic missiles equipped by the United States.
Long-range strike forces are the deterrent forces of all countries.
Such a good opportunity is far more realistic than finding an unmanned sea area or base to strike during test firing. The power of conventional warheads is far from comparable to nuclear warheads. However, the strike capability of these missiles can fully evaluate the performance when using nuclear warheads.
It can more effectively shock other countries in the world.
The United States is not the Soviet Union, nor is it China. They will not keep the secret of missiles they have been in service for many years. Only by publishing them can the enemy be more deterred.
At this time, no one raised objections, and they all began to discuss which missiles theirs should be used in this actual combat.
A strategic missile is extremely expensive to build. Although the intercontinental missiles that were decommissioned in the 1950s and 1960s were very low and could even reach a cost-free level, in the current war situation, long-range strikes cannot obtain greater benefits.
"I personally recommend that a missile like Hercules be launched to launch a re-service plan. Although it will consume some funds, we can use this missile to carry out a subsequent strike on Iraq!" The Ministry of Defense needs to come up with a plan, and Cheney naturally hopes that the president can agree to launch the Hercules II long-range strategic intercontinental missile that has been decommissioned in 1987 but has been sealed.
"Iraq doesn't need too many intercontinental missiles to strike." Bush shook his head. "Even if it is needed, we can deploy Pershing II to Saudi Arabia..."
"This is absolutely not possible. Once the Soviets find that we still have medium- and short-range ballistic missiles with a range of 500-5,000 kilometers, our previous efforts will be wasted..."
The cost of using medium and short-range strategic missiles for strikes is naturally much smaller.
However, after six years of negotiations with the Soviet Union, the United States and the Soviet Union signed the Intermediate-Range Rail Treaty at the end of 1987. In the treaty, the Soviet Union should have destroyed almost half of the medium- and short-range missiles than the United States. At the same time, many of the Soviet missiles had the performance of multiple warheads, which made the United States take a big advantage.
Even so, the US government has not destroyed everything they should have destroyed.
Pershing II medium-range ballistic missile has a maximum range of 2,500 kilometers, and its cost is much lower than that of strategic missiles.
If the Soviet Union discovered it now, many things would not follow the scripts set by the United States before.
"The Ministry of Defense came up with a plan as soon as possible!" Bush could only say this in the end. "Only by solving the defense system in Baghdad can our troops become safe!"
"In addition, mobilize the Patriot air defense missile system to enter our frontline troops as quickly as possible! Prevent missile attacks in Iraq..."
The Ministry of Defense will design attack plans in accordance with the principle of maximum interests and minimum costs.
This time, in order to teach the Iraqis a lesson, the United States even prepared to take out some of the good things they had in the box.
Because someone comes to this world, the entire world situation is affected.
The biggest change is that the Soviet Union is still struggling hard.
At the same time, the Gulf War has changed since the beginning.
After the 42-day air bombing, the United States and their coalition completely ended the war in just 100 hours and withdrew from Iraq. This time, on the first day of the war, the United States lost most of their most advanced F117 stealth fighters, and more F15s were destroyed.
Even their most elite troops were completely wiped out.
Someone who caused this matter was not very enlightened about it.
He was just a bystander, holding a small stool, making tea next to him, and watching the fun with melon seeds.
"…this is how it is. The United States is now bombing all cities in Iraq except Baghdad..."
Liu Yijiu was also stunned by this result.
Saddam's courage was something he had never expected.
Within an hour, thousands of missiles were fired continuously to attack the positions of the US and coalition forces.
He didn't know how much casualties were caused by the US military and the coalition, but the 24th US military infantry division was completely wiped out, which was basically uncommon in history after World War II. Except for the fact that China annihilated several elite Vietnamese divisions in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam.
When the United States attacked Iraq, the whole world believed that it was a killing chicken. But now it was discovered that the chicken that was about to be killed suddenly collapsed the huge knife due to resistance and struggled.
"The Americans will not let it go! Saddam's grandson is also, and he actually wants to drag the Soviets into the water. The Soviets will never come to wade into the muddy waters at this time. They will even agree to the US military using long-range strategic missiles to attack Iraq!" Liu Yijiu sighed.
Saddam's grandson is really unreliable.
If you kill a division of the US military, just keep a low profile.
Who in the world would believe the missiles they made themselves?
Those missiles all originate from China!
"If this guy continues to be so proud, he will sooner or later kill us..." Liu Yijiu said with a lip. "The United States will definitely investigate this matter with all its might..."
"Now the United States is launching a large-scale missile attack on Iraq, and the air bombing is also continuing. According to this situation, it is impossible for Saddam to not retaliate. There is a chance for bombing the aircraft carrier. If the situation allows, the housekeeper will find a way to let Iraq blow all the east wind out of their hands... Even if the United States knows, there is no evidence. At most, we accuse us of selling medium-range ballistic missiles... Moreover, these missiles are not sold directly..."
All adverse factors must be strangled in the bud.
Liu Suxue is very clear about these things.
When Liu Yijiu was selling missiles crazily before, he didn't think anything. At that time, he only saw the huge profits after selling missiles.
In the past two days, the war situation in Iraq has told him that the consequences are very serious.
"I guess the old men will not be able to sleep for a while. Get rid of it, you are going to go to the capital with me. You have the most contact with the other side, and you are the best!" Liu Yijiu sighed deeply.
"I'll go?" Yin Xianping's face changed slightly. "Once my identity is discovered by the superiors..."
"Don't worry, the old men are more worried about this than us."
