Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign-Chapter 533 - 254: Iraq’s Collapsing Air Defense System
It’s clear to see the missiles from the United States falling in the sky, but following the direction, damn, you just can’t find where the enemy is.
Looking at the size of the missiles, they don’t seem like the kind that can travel over a hundred kilometers; they should be nearby, right?
But really, can’t find them.
Some even used photon supercomputers to analyze the video, but the calculated results still show the enemy is at least a few kilometers away in the sky.
Precision strike from such a distance?
No one knows how many rounds the United States hit with, but by the time Yu Jia climbed out of the trench after the missiles stopped falling.
What meets the eye.
All are burning wrecks of armor.
The armored unit he was in had over 100 tanks and more than 70 armored vehicles, but at this moment... all have turned into burning wrecks.
Almost all destroyed.
Whether any armor or tank got out, Yu Jia doesn’t know, but just by visual inspection, it looks like the entire army was wiped out.
At the base at this moment.
Gunfire is incessant.
Some Iraq Federation soldiers have mentally broken down, shooting randomly into the sky.
The enemy on the other side never showed up.
But these fatal strikes have caused many Iraq Federation soldiers to mentally collapse.
For a moment.
The Blue Star players were all studying how to respond to the United States’ strike in such a situation.
And within Earth, all countries were shocked.
The dimension reduction strike capabilities shown by the United States shocked everyone, highlighting that warfare could actually be fought this way, with tanks no longer being the king of war.
....
On the other side.
The military high command of the Great Xia Federation.
Watched the live stream in the latest game by Polestar Company, "Modern War: World Dominator," seeing the Iraq Federation become virtually deaf and blind overnight. Everyone’s hearts were shaken.
For no other reason.
The so-called top three in strength among the Six Major Federations.
The Great Xia Federation has naturally also envisioned some tactics, including those similar to the United States’.
But what shook them was not the United States’ tactics.
But the results caused by one night’s airstrike and precision strikes.
Paralizing the Iraq Federation directly.
The attack targeted air defenses, command posts, and air force, yet paralyzed the Iraq Federation’s million-strong ground army within its borders.
It’s no exaggeration to say that million-strong army is now utterly useless.
Without communication, even if the United States attacked a city, neighboring allies probably wouldn’t know.
Watching the chaotic scenes in the Iraq Federation’s livestream from various regions.
The Great Xia Federation’s military high command suddenly felt that their previous assumptions might have been too idealistic.
Because in previous hypothetical scenarios.
Even if all cities lost communication with the Great Xia Federation’s capital, they could still rely on local resources to resist until communication networks were restored.
But viewing it now...
Some Iraq Federation civilians in the livestream are daring enough to loot in front of military forces.
The cities are in chaos.
It seems necessary to start from the worst-case scenario, to make new preventive and drill plans.
And the images in "Modern War: World Dominator" did not only inspire the Great Xia Federation, many other federations began to review their previous tactics and optimize them.
....
On the other side.
In the United States, in Lei Cheng’s live broadcast room.
Unlike those streamers randomly assigned the identity of Iraq Federation who got beaten up all night long, and even during the day.
Lei Cheng was so excited he couldn’t sleep all night, just watched the radar in the game.
After a night of attacks.
All the air defense command centers originally covering the Iraq Federation have been destroyed.
That proud defense system of the Iraq Federation has become useless scrap metal, with over ten thousand air defense missiles incapable of launching.
And after a night of destruction.
At this time, the airspace over the Iraq Federation is being continuously bombarded by aircraft from a 34-country coalition.
On Lei Cheng’s radar map, those planes representing his side.
Are flying recklessly over Iraq Federation’s airspace.
From east to west, from south to north, even sparing the capital of Iraq Federation.
What’s more.
Fleets from the Persian Gulf and Red Sea regions have launched missiles across hundreds of kilometers, striking critical buildings and command centers within Iraq Federation.
Seeing the in-game daytime about to pass, Lei Cheng sorted out the information and talked with Blue Star viewers in the livestream:
"The air force and air defense system of Iraq Federation are completely finished."
"Last night’s attack prioritized the air defense command centers and air force bases of Iraq Federation."
"In the early morning, multiple countries simultaneously conducted electronic interference on Iraq."
"Then stealth fighters from the airbase in Saudi Arabia launched a surprise attack on the central air defense command of Iraq Federation."
"After reaching Iraq Federation’s airspace, these United States stealth fighters split apart."
"Then within an hour, they successively took out the air defense command centers covering the entire Iraq Federation."
"Without these air defense command centers, Iraq Federation’s air defense missiles are mere decorations, and its air-capable fighter units are also prime targets."
"Only a few fighter jets managed to escape from Iraq Federation."
"The rest were mostly destroyed, or the airports were ruined, rendering them unable to take off."
"And this was just the first wave of attacks."
"The United States’ second wave involved armed helicopters, which are equipped with Hellfire missiles, each capable of carrying 16 Hellfire missiles."
"And a single Hellfire missile can destroy a tank."
"Theoretically, one armed helicopter from the United States can destroy 16 tanks."
"But that’s just theoretical."
"In actual effect... the United States has already begun compiling last night’s battle report."
"Because it was also the first time using this tactic, a detailed battle report must be prepared."
"One instance is that."
"When the United States armed helicopter squadron conducted a surprise attack, it launched 32 Hellfire missiles at a tank battalion within 90 seconds, destroying 28 armored tanks."
"It’s downright ridiculous."
"Almost a 1:1 ratio."
"I suspect that particular tank battalion may not have had as many armored tanks, otherwise they could indeed achieve a result of 32 missiles taking out 32 tanks."
"Then came the third wave of attacks."
"Cruise missiles launched from cruisers in the Persian Gulf and Red Sea directions aimed at key departments and command centers in capital Baghdad."
"Then the fourth wave targeted bombing Iraq’s power plants, communication facilities, etc."
"And after defeating Iraq Federation, the United States deployed numerous electronic jamming planes, rendering Iraq Federation’s radar utterly paralyzed."
"I have to say."
"The United States’ battle plan is extremely well-coordinated."
"Each link tightly connected to the next."
"Multi-location coordinated operations, first stealth fighters taking off from Saudi Arabia, then cruisers from the Persian Gulf and Red Sea, bombers from the United States homeland, and finally electronic jamming planes prepared to enter last."
"And those last-entry planes were also equipped with anti-radiation missiles."
"As soon as Iraq Federation’s radar turned on, it would detect Iraq Federation’s radar electromagnetic spectrum, then immediately lock on and fly over to destroy the target."
"So now Iraq Federation doesn’t even dare to turn on their radar."
"This is also why, as you just saw, the Iraq Federation map is full of aircraft markers from the United States."
"Iraq Federation’s air defense system has completely collapsed, and now it’s full of United States aircraft everywhere."
"Who would’ve thought that on the first day of the game’s server launch."
"The result of the war would be known."
"The United States’ equipment is too good, and now with Iraq Federation’s air defense system destroyed, the 5000 tanks on the ground are purely sitting ducks." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
"A single armed helicopter theoretically can bomb 16 tanks."
"Why even bother fighting then?"
"The key is that it’s not possible to use tanks to fight armed helicopters, whether they can aim accurately or not, armed helicopters can shoot Hellfire missiles from several kilometers away."
"What can tanks use to fight back?"
