Years of war have severely damaged the roads in Syria. The GPS shows a distance of more than fifty kilometers, but it is very troublesome to drive there. There are ruins everywhere, abandoned vehicles block roads, and some bridges have been destroyed.
Lin Rui endured the bumps of the bad road conditions in the car, held a cigarette in his mouth, and looked at the dilapidated scene outside.
Jiang An stared at the electronic map in his hand and frowned, seeming to be thinking about something. Finally he couldn't help but said, "Stop the car."
"What's wrong?" Snake Eyes frowned, holding the sniper rifle and staring at the situation outside. There was nothing unusual outside, so Maang'an suddenly asked to stop the car, which surprised him.
Lin Rui also frowned and looked at Jiang An and said, "What's wrong, actuary?"
"The situation is not quite right." Jiang An whispered.
"It's nothing, right?" Yelena also frowned, "There's no one around here at all, what's wrong?"
Jiang An shook his head sullenly and said, "There's something wrong with this place."
"What do you mean?" Lin Rui frowned.
"According to what Dezhanev said, that temporary base was the former enemy headquarters of the Signal Flag Force. But on our way from Latakia, there were a large number of roadblocks that had not been cleared and the damaged bridges had not been repaired. If the Signal Flag Force The former enemy headquarters is really there, why have these problems not been solved?" Jiang An said slowly.
"Maybe the Russians have limited troops and they can't do these things." Jason thought for a while.
"The Russians are short of manpower, but the Syrian government forces have people. The road from the base camp to the former enemy headquarters is seriously blocked, and it is not cleared and repaired. This is abnormal in itself. The traffic is not smooth, how can the logistics be ensured? And that place is In a mountainous area." Jiang An said in a deep voice, "It is obviously an area with difficulty in supply. Why is such an important road in such bad condition?"
Lin Rui and Jason looked at each other and felt something vaguely.
"Maybe they were supplied via helicopter." Yelena frowned.
"What you said makes sense, let's take a look at this!" Maangishi took out the tactical computer and said solemnly, "This is the satellite picture that Cobain sent us. From the drawing, we can clearly see the deployment of the Russian army in Latakia. As can be seen from satellite images, the most frequently stationed aircraft at Latakia Air Base are Su-24m bombers, with a total of about 30, while there are about 12 older Su-25 bombers. There are also a small number of Russia's latest Su-35 fighter jet."
Lin Rui looked at the satellite image and nodded, "What do you want to say?"
"For supply in mountainous areas, there is no airport runway, and it is simply impossible to take off and land large transport aircraft. Therefore, helicopters can only be used, and the number of helicopters in Latakia is very small. There are only a few Mi-8 helicopters. And they are obviously used near the airport. Our defense mission is not to transport supplies." Jiang An pointed at the satellite image.
"This is indeed a problem." Lin Rui frowned.
"There is another thing that is more suspicious." Jiang An said slowly, "Dezhanev said that the Russian army moved Faisal because they were worried about being attacked by extremist armed forces. This is very questionable. Not to mention whether the extremist armed forces have The ability to deter Latakia Air Base. Let¡¯s just look at the Russian defense measures. Look here, this location on the satellite map.¡±
"This looks like some kind of anti-missile system." Lin Rui frowned.
"That's right. This is the S-400 anti-aircraft missile system. Simply put, the S-400 anti-aircraft missile system is a six-wheeled truck carrying four thick cylindrical launchers that are several people tall. Once the launcher is lying flat, The state becomes vertical and stands on the rear of the truck, and it enters the launch preparation stage.
There are many spare missiles placed next to the S-400 air defense missile system, covered by earth-green camouflage cloth. But it can still be distinguished from the appearance. Look here again. On a hill, an armored air defense system is deployed, and it can be seen that it is in operation, with the radar antenna rotating; and on a truck, multiple side-by-side air defense missiles are being adjusted from time to time. direction to guard against threats from the air. "Jiang An said slowly.
"The defense is tight enough." Lin Rui nodded.
"The S-400 air defense missile system is Russia's fourth-generation surface-to-air missile system. It is suitable for all airspace from ultra-low altitude to high altitude, short range to ultra-long range. It can deal with reconnaissance aircraft, strategic and tactical aircraft, tactical missiles, and medium-range ballistics. Missiles, supersonic targets, patrol aircraft and other targets.
With this, coupled with the Russian fighter planes, they have absolute air supremacy in this area. Using rockets to attack the airport under such circumstances is simply a joke. Because you have only fired a few rockets, the Russian fighter planes can use missiles to blow you up into the sky. Don¡¯t forget that in addition to bombers, they also??Su-35 fighter jet.
The Su-35 is a multi-functional fighter equipped with very powerful weapons that can detect, track and attack 8 targets at the same time. It takes only a few minutes to prepare for takeoff. When two Su-35 fighters fly in opposite directions, their field of view can reach 360 degrees and their combat radius can reach 400 kilometers. In this case, will the Russian army be worried about being attacked by rocket launchers from extremist organizations? Jiang An shook his head and said, "This doesn't make sense at all." "
"I feel it is unlikely. It may have happened before that extremist groups used rocket launchers to attack the airport, and it is not ruled out that it will happen again. But it is just harassment and will never really threaten the Latakia Air Force Base." Lin Rui After thinking for a while he said.
"So, the premise for the Russian army to transfer Faisal is not established." Jiang An shook his head. "And judging from various signs, the so-called temporary former enemy headquarters of the Signal Flag Special Forces does not exist. The combination of these doubts shows that Dezhanev's words are not credible."
Lin Rui looked at the map and frowned, "If he is lying to us, then what is his purpose? Why did he trick us into coming to this place?" He pointed at the map with his finger.
"This is the area closest to the armed forces of extremist organizations. If we attack the Signal Flag Special Forces here, they can completely annihilate us in one fell swoop. Then they will declare to the outside world that we are an extremist armed group funded by the United States. They were annihilated during the military operation against them. Not only will they eliminate us, but they will also occupy the height of public opinion and in turn embarrass the US military." Jiang An shook his head and said, "In this regard, the Russians are not a fuel-efficient lamp."
"Damn it." Jason smiled bitterly, "I'm really fed up with this kind of infighting."
"This is a game between great powers. In the end, we are all just insignificant victims." Lin Rui said slowly.
"It's just that I can't figure out why Dezhanev wants to harm us like this." Sergey still didn't seem to believe it.
"Don't forget that he is an intelligence dealer, but he is also a Russian. He can get so much confidential information, can you guarantee that he has no other connections with the Russian military?" Jiang An said slowly.
