Chapter 340: Tank Cluster Battle! The Depressed Ugly Army!

For this reason, the Ugly Nation's Pentagon formulated a strategy of dispersed squad raids.

Even if they encountered DWS platform cutting-edge fighter jets, at most, they would only lose a few planes.

Unlike last time, when the Ugly Nation directly lost a fighter jet formation.

Of course, the Ugly Nation is also actively promoting research on anti-stealth radar and beyond-visual-range missiles.

Hoping to catch up with the Dragon Nation in this aspect.

However, the Ugly Nation is now encountering trouble on the front-line battlefield.

The Syrian side's urban warfare and suicide drones have brought them no small amount of trouble.

In this kind of urban terrain, even elite tank units are difficult to deploy.

And these Syrian troops can rely on favorable terrain to launch sneak attacks.

Various RPGs and Javelin anti-tank guns take turns on the field.

Causing the Ugly Army's armored units to lose quite a bit.

The only possible advantage the Ugly Nation coalition has is in satellites and firepower.

However, it is clear that the Syrian troops who retreated to Homs City had already gathered a large number of troops in this city,

and there were tunnels extending in all directions under the city, as well as some hidden firing points.

In short, even relying on the Ugly Army's military strength, with their existing troops,

it is very difficult to break through the defense of Homs City head-on in a short time.

Of course, this is definitely not the full strength of the Ugly Army.

40,000 people),

dispatching 4,300 tanks, 5,600 armored vehicles, 4,000 combat aircraft, 2,300 artillery pieces, and 400 warships.

Now, to deal with Syria, the Ugly Army has only used a fraction of its military strength.

However, compared to the Gulf War period,

the Ugly Army at this time also has many problems.

The Ugly Nation's domestic economic growth is stagnant, internal racial contradictions, immigration issues are becoming more and more intense, etc.

Added to this is the decline of the Ugly Nation's prestige globally at this time.

Especially with the sinking of the aircraft carrier and the destruction of the F22.

Many countries feel that the once-powerful Ugly Army is now nothing more than this.

This is also the reason why there are very few responders to this multinational coalition.

It seems that everyone does not want to fight a meaningless war of aggression with the Ugly Army.

In short, for the currently continuously declining Ugly Nation to want to have another battle on the scale of the Gulf War,

it is actually already very difficult.

At this time, war correspondents from various countries are conducting live reports not far from the front line.

In the past few days, domestic media have reported in detail on this war.

The offensive and defensive battles between the two sides have refreshed people's understanding of modern warfare time and time again.

However, after the two sides fought for several days,

an encounter battle completely attracted the eyes of the whole world.

An Ugly Nation armored brigade, with more than 4,000 people, possessing 87 M1A2 Abrams and M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles,

was ambushed and intercepted by the Syrian side in Homs City.

The two sides broke out into a large-scale tank slaughter battle.

But what surprised countless people around the world the most was.

The tanks of both sides were actually M1A2 Abrams.

The only difference was that the Ugly Army's tanks were produced by the Ugly Nation itself,

while the Syrian side's were sold by the DWS platform.

In this battle, the Syrian side dispatched 90 tanks, two brigades, and about 8,000 people.

Launching a head-on attack against the Ugly Army.

On the plain, the two sides began to engage in fierce fighting.

Thus, an incredible scene happened.

Syrian tanks and Ugly Nation tanks, both painted in desert camouflage, turned their gun barrels at the same time.

When the two sides entered the 2-kilometer range, they began to fire at each other.

In fact, this unit belonged to the Ugly Nation Army 3rd Corps, 1st Armored Division, 2nd Brigade.

Originally stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas, Ugly Nation,

but as a result of President Xiao Ao's war order, they were transported to the Syrian battlefield.

However, these people had just encountered the Syrian army.

When they were hit head-on.

Originally, these Ugly Nation soldiers didn't think much of it,

after all, some of them had participated in the 2003 Iraq War,

and in their view, the Middle East twin heroes Iraq back then were beaten to a pulp by them.

In terms of real strength, Syria simply couldn't compare to the Iraq of that year, even if Syria had the evil country Iran behind it,

and the help of the DWS platform.

But in terms of overall strength, the Ugly Army still held the absolute upper hand.

However, they had just been dispatched to the Syrian battlefield when they saw something.

Many Ugly Army soldiers were dumbfounded, constantly rubbing their eyes to confirm that what they were seeing was not a hallucination.

The opponent was equipped entirely with Ugly-made equipment.

The tanks of both sides even had the exact same paint job; it was fortunate that the Syrian side had painted the Syrian flag on the tanks,

otherwise, if the two sides were tangled together, it would be very easy to not distinguish who was the enemy and who was the friendly force.

"FUCK!"

The Ugly Army tank crews saw the opponent's gun barrels pointing at them, and they couldn't stop cursing.

The most important thing was that although they were all M1A2 Abrams main battle tanks, they seemed to be the same,

but in reality, what the Syrian army purchased was the 2020 version of the M1A2. SEPv3.

While the Ugly Army itself was using the M1A2. SEPv2.

Although SEPv3 still followed the previous design, SepV3 added some new technologies,

improving the tank's combat capability, functionality, and power.

First of all, SepV3 is equipped with high-definition display screens and new electronic circuit components.

In addition, the M1A2. SepV3 also began to integrate upgraded ammunition data links and electronic warfare weapons,

such as the Counter-Remote Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (CREW) system.

This new type of tank is logically produced in 2017,

using a Honeywell AGT1500 gas turbine engine, and has an auxiliary power unit that can run vehicle systems.

In terms of protection, this Abrams tank is also equipped with the CREW Duke V3 Counter-Remote Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare system,

providing more protection for the crew.

Others include new fire control radar, new communication systems, new auxiliary power units, etc.

In short, the M1A2 Abrams main battle tank used by the Syrian side at this time

was a generation more advanced than the Ugly Army's. ===== CHAPTER 341 =====
