Chapter 249: Quality of ISIS soldiers

This time, the Iraqi government forces, which dispatched three main battle tanks in one breath, and the air force's cover, are finally expected to attack the inside of the railway station.
However, Cai Ruichen, Zhao Long and Natasha in the lobby of the base are not optimistic about these three M1A1s.
Sure enough, when seeing the three M1A1s approaching the gate of the railway station, the ISIS soldiers inside also took out the weapon under the pressure box.
The Dragon anti-tank missile, once the main ground anti-armor weapon of the U.S. Army, can break 500 mm thick homogeneous armor with a vertical attack.
Such attack power is enough to threaten the defense of M1A1.
The Islamic State forces possess a large number of Dragon-type anti-tank missiles. They were the main equipment plundered by the Islamic State when the United States withdrew its troops.
In fact, if it were not for the airstrikes of various countries, the Islamic State would still be able to dominate Iraq.
In the early days, many of the weapons and equipment left by the United States were acquired by the Islamic State.
Among them are main weapons such as main battle tanks and attack helicopters. Fortunately, such equipment has long been destroyed by air forces of various countries.
However, there are still many small weapons and equipment. According to data released by the US military, the Islamic State has at least more than 500 individual missile launchers in its hands.
Among them, Dragon anti-tank missiles account for the majority, and the remaining are Stinger anti-aircraft missiles and Russian Sam needle anti-aircraft missiles.
These weapons fell into the hands of the Islamic State, and the only blame is the incompetence of the Iraqi government forces.
When the Islamic State launched an attack on Iraq from Syria, who caused the Iraqi government forces to collapse thousands of miles, not only gave a large area of ​​the country to the Islamic State.
It also allowed the US military to stay and prepare to sell to the Iraqi government. Many of the arsenals were occupied by the Islamic State.
The Iraqi Defense Forces have already tasted the pain caused by these weapons.
Just like these three M1A1s, it is very difficult for a normal rocket launcher to damage the M1A1, but the Dragon anti-tank missile with the initiation attack capability is completely different.
When the three M1A1s approached the railway station, several anti-tank missiles suddenly lifted into the sky among the ruins, and went straight down in the air of 100 meters. All rushed towards one of the M1A1s.
M1A1 with ceramic armor itself. It can withstand normal anti-tank missiles, but the fragile defense on the roof of the tank cannot withstand the vertical strikes of multiple anti-tank missiles.
Fortunately, the Iraqi government forces are using M1A1, otherwise it would be replaced by an export version of the T-72 tank. Then, as long as one such anti-tank missile, the solution can be resolved.
But the result has not changed. Faced with the anti-tank missile that was attacked by the initiation, the M1A1 stopped amid several successive violent explosions.
Immediately, dense flames covered the body of the tank. All three people in the base hall can be clearly seen. At the top of the back of this M1A1 body, a large hole was penetrated and the fuel tank was penetrated directly.
Fortunately, M1A1 has a very advanced fire extinguishing system. The flames in the tank were quickly extinguished, and the explosion did not cause the shells in the tank to explode again. But the tank crew inside. No one survived.
When the other two M1A1s saw this, the driver seemed very anxious, and the tanks were hobbled on the rubble. All are accelerating towards the train station.
However, before the second round of anti-tank missile attacks appeared, under the body of the first M1A1 that was about to rush into the gate, it was suddenly covered by a violent explosion.
The huge tank body shook violently in the explosion.
Although the people in the tank had nothing to do, the tracks that were pressed against the anti-tank mines and the armored side skirts that protected the tracks were directly broken.
This M1A1 has not only become a fixed fort, but also parked right in the center of the train station gate.
The ISIS soldiers inside did not give the third tank any chance to enter the train station. The second wave of anti-tank missiles directly destroyed the third M1A1, leaving only the tank with its tracks broken. There are countless muzzles around.
One minute later, this tank was also destroyed, and none of the Iraqi soldiers in the three tanks survived.
Seeing this, Zhao Long said with emotion: "The Iraqi Defense Forces are really too weak, let alone the M1A1. Even if they are given the most advanced equipment in the world, they can't beat the opponent."
"There are many factors that determine the victory of a war. The advancement of weapons and equipment is naturally important, but it is not the most important. Even tactics and strategies, in my opinion, are no more important than the combat literacy and fighting will of the soldiers." Natasha also said.
"Islamic State is the biggest trouble that the United States has left to the Middle East countries. These armed forces evolved from the most powerful National Guard soldiers in Iraq during Saddam's time. From the standpoint of individual combat capabilities, they are indeed very powerful." Cai Ruichen sighed. Tao.
The reason why ISIS armed soldiers are so powerful is not to say that extreme ideological education can really make a group of unarmed civilians quickly become excellent soldiers.
It is because most of the armed soldiers of the Islamic State came from the Iraqi National Guard, all of which were elite Saddam forces that were broken up when the US army attacked Iraq.
When the US military invaded Iraq, it did not eliminate this force, but used advanced war methods to directly destroy the Iraqi government.
Many of the National Guards under Saddam were only broken up and not eliminated. After all, the hundreds of thousands of National Guards were the best combat force in the Middle East.
If it weren't for the fact that the U.S. surpassed the Saddam government at the time in both tactics and strategy, it would not be easy for the U.S. military to eliminate this force.
This is also the reason why the US military continued to suffer casualties during its occupation of Iraq.
But at that time, most of the soldiers of the National Guard did not gather, mainly because they lacked a strong person to lead.
However, with the rise of the Islamic State ~EbookFREE.me~, a large number of international extremist forces have secretly supported it.
Beginning to gather a large number of stragglers who used to be the National Guard, this allowed the Islamic State to have a strong military combat capability in a short period of time.
Therefore, even in the face of air strikes from various countries, the Islamic State’s armed forces still have a very strong combat effectiveness.
In addition, the Islamic State has also recruited a large number of international sergeants to expand the combat effectiveness of the army, and this has gradually become a country that can span Syria and Iraq today.
Even many organizations in Turkey are secretly supporting the development of the Islamic State.
On the other hand, the Iraqi National Defense Forces is an army composed of civilians. Although large in scale, they are all personnel who have not been on the battlefield and have no real military training.
Comparing the real soldiers of the Islamic State with the roots of Zhengmiaohong, the gap between the two will appear immediately.
Don't expect a group of civilian men with cannons to defeat a group of real soldiers of the same number. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
