"Such missiles are not necessarily useful for hitting the opponent's helicopter. How much range can you have? What about radar?" Qassim's originally hoped face became ugly.

What is the use of small individual air defense missiles for those fighters?

They weren't not equipped, but they made hundreds of shots, which was useless at all.

Individual air defense missiles from the Soviet Union performed terribly in this war. The Soviets boasted that there was nothing that their anti-aircraft missiles could not defeat. As a result, with so many anti-aircraft missiles, they did not destroy a few Iranian fighters.

The small number of Iranian fighters is because they lack maintenance supplies.

Now that they have the fighters sold to them by the Soviets, they are beginning to threaten Iraq even more.

When the Iranians launched a counterattack, cleared Khorramshahr, and counterattacked into Iraqi territory, it was all because of the ineffective anti-aircraft missiles from the Soviet Union. The opponent’s F-14 Tomcat fighter took a ticket of F-4 and F-5 fighter jets to drive away Iraq’s poorly capable MiG-23, the iron-knotted MiG-25, and the old-fashioned and backward Su-22. Fighters began to bomb ground artillery positions and armored clusters...

Karam is the third frontline commander after the first commander of the southern front in the Iran-Iraq War was removed.

Air defense is their most important task.

The number of Super Military Banner and Mirage F.1 has not been introduced in large numbers, and a large number of them are arranged in the airport around the capital to defend the capital, Baghdad.

There are not many on the southern front of Basra.

The large-scale invasion of the enemy needed to request the support of the northern air force, and they left before they rushed over.

The positions of the Sam-2 air defense missiles are all arranged around the capital. Who would have thought that after Khomeini cleaned the Pahlavi dynasty, the Iranian air force would still be so fierce?

Karam applied for air defense weapons for more than a year, and the president provided him with a lot of air defense equipment, but it was useless.

Now Ibrahim used such missiles to fool him.

It's completely taking the lives of the frontline soldiers improperly.

"General, this missile, in front of the launcher is a small radar, with an infrared guidance device inside..." Harry Mossan explained in embarrassment to the angry General Qassim.

Qasim applied to the president for medium- and long-range air defense missiles. As long as the radar detects Iranian fighters and enters the range, they will be beaten down.

Only in this way can oil extraction in the southern oil fields be restored.

"Such missiles escaped before launching other fighters!" Qasim sneered, "We don't need such missiles here."

"General, we are just looking for opportunities here for actual combat tests. If the results are good, large-scale purchases will be made." Ibrahim reminded.

There are only two samples now, and they are not equipped for combat troops at all.

Just two, how to equip it?

When Qassem heard this, he couldn't refute it, so he could only arrange for Ibrahim's party with angrily.

Ibrahim was unwilling to stay behind and asked to go to the front line to the key strategic target areas where Iranian fighters might appear.

The performance of the avant-garde air defense missile is excellent, but the range is too close, and the maximum oblique firing distance is only a few kilometers. It is almost ready to launch when the enemy's aircraft can be seen with the naked eye.

Qasim's persuasion was useless, and he could only ask a major staff officer under him to personally send Ibrahim and his party to the front line where Iranian fighters appeared every day.

"Take down the instructions carefully and don't know how to do it then!" Ibrahim said to the people at a small logistics transfer station more than ten kilometers away from the battlefield.

These people followed him to China, and everyone knew what the consequences would be if these two missiles were useless.

Ibrahim is still a relative of the President.

Therefore, the group began to earnestly follow the handwritten instructions provided by China to once again understand the structure and operating procedures of the entire individual air defense missile system.

Abadan, the frontline headquarters of Iran's southern front.

After regaining Khorramshahr and freeing Abadan, the commander General Al Taider pushed his front command to Abadan near the border.

The great leader Khomeini said that to make Saddam the bastard pay for his aggression, Iraq must be included in Iran's territorial sovereignty.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

So, since then, they have been attacking frantically.

Once invaded Iraqi territory, and even almost surrounded Basra, the second largest city in Iraq, but was eventually driven back.

The two sides confronted each other across the boundary river.

"General, there is no movement from the Iraqis." The intelligence staff once again reported the information to the commander Al Tadel. "But there was a lot of movement on the front line."

"What's going on?" Al Tedell became energetic for it.

It is too unbearable to shoot a few shots and fire a few shots across the river every day.

Khomeini was very dissatisfied with their delay in making progress.

"The Iraqis are adding heavy equipment here."

"Where are their fighters?" the general asked with a frown.

"Our air force is conducting reconnaissance every day, and they have not found the existence of their fighter planes. If our air force is dispatched in large numbers, their fighter planes will take off and land..." the staff officer replied.

"We can't go on like this. They know that our air force is increasingly short of fighters. The fighters provided by the Soviet Union are on the northern front." Al Tedell frowned even more.

The southern front is the most important, and the superior forces of both sides are here.

However, the battle for fighters is on the northern front.

"Our air force only has 9 F-14s that can take off on duty."

"What? Yesterday there were 11 more?"

"The spare parts are broken and can't be replenished... There are two fighters with minor faults. The spare parts on them were removed to ensure the combat duties of other fighters." The staff officer said in a low voice.

"Call Makhshahr and let them start tomorrow. Each echelon will send 3 F-14s and lead the other fighters to give me a ruthless one! It is not good for us to continue to drag on." Considered for a while, General Al Tadel was cruel. "Order the troops to prepare, start shelling at 5:30 in the morning tomorrow, find out their artillery positions and blow them up, and see if there is a chance to break through their defense lines..."

The Iraqis are obviously consuming fighter jets here.

Lack of spare parts and lack of maintenance make the most powerful F-14 fighter unable to take off for combat due to the loss of its own parts and failures.

Once there is no F-14 fighter as the main force, a large number of Iraqi fighters will become a nightmare for the Iranian army.

The order of the front-line commander soon reached the hands of the Iranian Air Force stationed at Mahshahr Airport.

The entire base is busy for it, which will take off and land more frequently than before, and the density of missions will be greater.

No one wants to watch more and more fighters fail to fly.

This is the most advanced heavy fighter in the entire Middle East region.

"Woo~"

The next morning, just as the sky fell, all the soldiers on the Iraqi side of the defense line were awakened by the stern air defense sirens.

The Iraqi soldiers hiding in the trenches and various strongholds looked up at the sky outside, turned around, and continued to sleep.

This situation happens almost every day.

The Iranians use less bombs, and they will not waste them on soldiers on the line of defense.

"Hey~"

With the first scream of shells breaking through the air, the Iraqi soldiers who were about to continue to sleep shuddered, turned over quickly, grabbed their guns and rushed into the nearby anti-cannon fortifications.

Damn Iranians, don't make people sleep well.

"What are the Iranians doing? Their shells have been replenished?" Qassim jumped up when he received the news from the front line.

His frontline troops are being bombarded by Iranian artillery!

The Iranians have long lacked ammunition, and today they can organize an effective offensive.

"Call me air support, the air defense forces are ready, their fighter planes are coming in!" Soon, Qasim understood.

The Iranians are probably the last madness.

The number of their fighter planes is getting smaller and smaller. In the past, they could take off hundreds of sorties every day, but now they send three or five fighter planes to wander around, drop a few bombs and go back.

"General, our logistics supply base, just transported a batch of ammunition last night..." the intelligence staff reminded the general. "This time the Iranians dispatched 14 fighters."

"Isn't there an air defense force over there?" Qassim was stunned.

There are only a few anti-aircraft artillery at the logistics supply transfer station on the border.

Iran has always been unable to organize large-scale aerial bombings, and this has made the Iraqi side pay less attention to air defense. When it encounters the opponent's aircraft, it fires a few shots, and the other party randomly finds a place to drop the bomb and go back.

"There are no shells. The supplies will not arrive until ten o'clock in the morning." The intelligence staff's words made Qassem froze.

Although the supply transfer station does not have many ammunition reserves, it was just transported last night. If it is blown up, it will take three days for a long line of defense to be unable to receive sufficient ammunition. Once discovered by the Iranians, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Immediately mobilize anti-aircraft shells from the side positions! I hope they will not be discovered."

"The ammunition of the anti-aircraft artillery nearby is not enough... Two hundred rounds were mobilized last night..." The two hundred anti-aircraft shells were not enough.

For a time, General Qasim didn't know what to do.

"Be prepared for battle, don't let them down! Reduce the rate of fire, don't let them find that our ammunition is insufficient, immediately transfer the ammunition!" The logistic transfer station more than ten miles away from the front line, the commander was the first to get the radar report. Time gave the order.

"Their fighters are coming?" Ibrahim became a little excited when he heard the air defense sirens.

But now that it's weather, you can't see the other side's shadow at all.

"Colonel, the Iranians are crazy. Today, 14 fighters were dispatched. I don't know how many ground attack aircrafts are. It is dangerous here. The major asks you to leave here!" A lieutenant appeared in front of Colonel Ibrahim who was a little excited. .
