Chapter 1460 There is smoke without injury

In fact, at that time, it was supposed to reach the double-twenty-five standard, but there were some problems in the development, and in the end, this high-altitude and high-speed fighter, which did not reach the standard of Mach 2.5, was handed over to the Iraqi Royal Air Force, and the general rattlesnake air-to-air missiles were able to fly Mach 2.5.

Historically the MiG 25, because of its Mach 2.8, was to some extent a double-three standard high-altitude, high-speed fighter, and an acceleration threw off the Israeli Air Force’s air-to-air missile-equipped missiles. A huge shock to Israel and the US and even the entire free world. The Iraqi Air Force does not necessarily suffer in the middle of an air battle.

High-altitude, high-speed fighters are the equivalent of specialized weapons that are particularly good at a certain place, and the MiG 25 is the one that flies particularly fast and gives the IAF a run for its money.

Alan Wilson also does not think that high-altitude high-speed fighters will necessarily be out of the history stage, maybe a few decades later, one day, it came back?

It’s not like there are any uniform standards for sixth-generation fighters, so in case any country comes up with a dual-four standard high-altitude, high-speed fighter, it’s okay to call yourself a sixth-generation fighter, there’s nothing wrong with that.

“Why didn’t the RAF equip it then?” Denis Healey asked once he heard that the Cabinet Secretary was so optimistic about the performance of the Iraqi Air Force.

“It was axed because of military spending. Manufacturing was just to gain manufacturing experience.” Alan Wilson had a helpless look on his face, who was to blame? Wasn’t it just Harold Wilson’s last term?

Denis Healey was keenly aware that any further pursuit would be on the Prime Minister or even himself, and the matter of why the RAF was not equipped was no longer mentioned.

Because the American man did not officially serve in the Royal Air Force, this one fighter Iraqi name Long Arrow fighter, in fact, more well-known, the Arab countries are also the American man to become the Long Arrow fighter, always more than the NATO call the American man for the fin whale smooth some.

In electronic equipment, the United Kingdom is certainly stronger than the Soviet Union, the backwardness of electronic equipment as early as the Soviet Union period has been leaked out, but this era of electronic equipment is not like the twenty-first century, has been developed to the point of extreme importance, two years ago, the Soviet Union conducted electronic jamming to cover the raid on Warsaw, the NATO side did not find anything.

Overall, the Iraqi Air Force in the hands of the long arrow, as long as some care, even if you can not do anything to the Israeli Air Force, the Israeli Air Force wants to catch up with the Iraqi Air Force is not so easy.

“Actually, it’s been less than a day since the Israeli air attack on Egypt. The beginning stage of the war is a time of high fake news, and neither side’s war reports can be trusted.” Alan Wilson opened his mouth to let the defense minister calm down, now can not be concluded who in the end will achieve the final victory, no matter what, but also to the ground battlefield to come from the corroborative news only.

The supreme authority in mind, in fact, is also very concerned about the Iraqi air force to participate in the war, can achieve what kind of results, don’t French fighters have just been hit hard, the British fighters followed in the footsteps of the dust.

Although this one fighter did not serve in the mainland, the Iraqi name are more recognizable, but that after all is also made in Britain.

Naturally, the Cabinet meeting couldn’t just talk about whether the fighter was good or not, and crucially, several of the countries involved in the war had already declared a national mobilization, which is always dangerous, whether it’s a bluff or whatever.

“A bluff of course, but still dangerous.” Foreign Secretary Patrick a two-headed conclusion that sets out his understanding of the current situation in the Middle East.

Public announcements of general mobilization are in a sense meant to deter opponents, but can lead to an escalating spiral once some countries announce they are following suit.

One doesn’t even have to look elsewhere for an example of this; in World War I Europe, Germany, France, Russia, and Australia declared general mobilization on each other, which resulted in riding the tiger and eventually having to meet their match on the battlefield.

“Something has to be done, this will have a knock-on effect on world energy.” The entire cabinet meeting was filled with gentlemen’s concern that world peace was at stake.

Look, every minister is so worried about the country that if everyone showed a little love, the world would be a better place on earth.

It’s not unlike some retrograde Great British Treasure, who at this point is gleefully commanding into the microphone, “Whether Al Jazeera can later become a television station with major influence in the Arab world depends on this broadcast, and it is extremely important that the firm defense of the Arab world is widely heard around the world.”

By the time Vivienne put down the microphone, her daughter Suzanne was tempted to ask when her mother was running a TV station in an Arab country as well, which seemed to be important.

“What is it, Suzanne.” Seeing her somewhat silent daughter, Vivienne spoke with a caring voice, “Are there any difficulties lately.”

“There is no difficulty, mother, it’s just that I think you’re in good shape.” Suzanne replied with a smile, “Even now, you still have such a strong sense of enterprise.”

“People are influenced by others.” Vivienne replied seriously, she was so career-oriented mainly because there was a man who was more career-oriented.

“This is Al Jazeera, just moments ago Yemen’s leader, Nasser, announced he was joining the war against Zionism in the midst of defending the dignity of the Arab world, next ……”

The Cabinet Secretary’s office in Whitehall was awash with permanent undersecretaries waiting for their ministers, who had also just gotten the news of Yemen’s entry into the war.

“Yemen should be hard to persuade, with Saudi Arabia or Egypt opening up their territories to march. Egypt is not likely to be unguarded against the Free Officers organization, and those Saudi sheikhs are very fearful of what will happen to the Yemeni sheikhs.” Makins said with some surprise, “What on earth is Yemen going to do?”

“One thing we have to consider is that the Yemeni air force isn’t weak, especially since the Soviet Union looked at Yemen’s position and gave Yemen a number of Tu-16 bombers. The Yemeni Air Force may enter the war, and Tim’s Island is the one with airfields to utilize.” Alan Wilson replied, “The Yemeni air force is perfectly capable of providing air power cover for the Egyptian forces in the Sinai.”

For Nasser, who has always preached Arab nationalism, it is not out of the question that he would put aside his former suspicions to do his part for the sake of the Arab nation as a whole, a move that might also improve relations with both Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

In the Sinai Peninsula, the Egyptian army has strong fortifications. The Israeli army suffered great losses due to the heavy and accurate Egyptian anti-tank artillery fire, and after one bloody engagement, the Israeli army finally approached the target step by step. Israeli tanks stormed into downtown Arish, a small city bordering the Mediterranean Sea and an important station on the Gaza direct railroad along the Suez Canal, and the breakthrough of Arish was the key to the battle for the Sinai Peninsula.

News of the outbreak of war reached the Sinai defenders as early as the start of the IAF raid on Egypt, followed by orders to move into the major settlements to hold out for reinforcements.

Attacking the Israeli army a total of 60,000 people, divided into three ways to their respective targets approaching, but they did not expect, and did not meet the arrival of the Egyptian army sniper.

They even had the feeling that they were in no man’s land, but after storming into downtown El Arish, everything changed, and the battle of positions, which is a way that no army is willing to face, and Israel is still especially unwilling.

The well-connected streets, dividing one stronghold into ideal alleyway battlefields, the Egyptian defenders had no qualms about hiding within the city limits to meet the Israeli army’s assault. Not caring in the least, turning the formerly bustling streets into an inferno.

And the giant air defense towers used to secure the Suez Canal, of which there is exactly one on the east side of downtown El Arish, are already in operation, and cover each other with El Arish to become giant fortresses blocking the Israeli advance.

The Egyptian air force was essentially decimated, and Israeli planes were in no man’s land. In an effort to increase the number of waves the planes were out in, Israeli ground crews had less and less time to refuel and reload. Their record was five minutes to fill up more than 7,000 liters of gasoline, and it took only seconds to hang a sub-tank as they sent wave after wave of Ghostbusters into the air.

Now the main task of the Israeli Air Force was to open a pathway for the advance of the army, which was the enemy anyway, dropping bombs towards the downtown area of El Arish without the slightest care, but this attack surface had little effect in the face of the El Arish anti-aircraft towers, which on the contrary, were equipped with anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft missiles that were continually declaring towards the sky to make their presence felt.

The face of the Israeli air force carpet bombing, air defense tower standing, this one length, width and height of seventy meters of reinforced concrete square predecessor, in the face of the British and American strategic bombing has been fighting to Berlin was conquered, at this time a change of a country to change the environment, is still majestic does not diminish when the day, the heavy bombs can not be shaken in the slightest.

The fall of the air defense tower time, depends entirely on when the king of Egypt declared an armistice, two batches of bombing, the Israeli air force pilots can not help but curse, the attack on the air defense tower proper princely warfare, even if it can not be said to be completely smoke and no injuries, but obviously from the destruction of the target there is a huge gap.

For Israel, time is the most valuable thing, Israel is not able to fight a protracted war with the Arab countries, must at all costs to capture Arish cut off the Egyptian Army’s important supply base.

The news that Arish is in the midst of a fierce battle is also known to the people of Cairo, and the Cairo crowd is as ingenious as the sunrise crowd, and soon word of mouth has learned that in the city of Arish, there exists a giant air defense tower, and even that this giant tower is itself part of the Egyptian Army’s supply base in the Sinai Peninsula.

If this supply center is not completely occupied, the Egyptian army will not be in a situation where even drinking water is a problem, and in the airspace over Gaza, the air force of the Kingdom of Iraq, which has arrived, is also fighting with the Israeli air force, which belongs to the arena of high-altitude and high-speed fighter jets.
