After the end of World War II, countries around the world were bent on entering a stage of peaceful development, but the Middle East has always been an exception. During World War II, the Middle East played an important role and became one of the important battlefields of the war. However, after the end of the war, the Middle East did not enjoy the dividends of peace like other regions. On the contrary, the region has been one of the most volatile in the world due to ongoing conflict and tensions.
Conflicts and tensions in the Middle East have a complex historical background. Among them, the most important factors include religion, ethnicity, politics, economy and other aspects. In the Middle East, the contradictions between different religious beliefs and ethnic groups are more acute. These contradictions and conflicts have led to long-term political instability in the Middle East, which in turn has led to wars and violent conflicts.
For example, the Gulf War, which is considered the world's first modern war. Before the Gulf War, countries generally believed that traditional military forces and strategies and tactics were the key factors in determining the outcome of a war. However, in the Gulf War, the United States, with its advanced and technological superiority, quickly destroyed the enemy's defense line and demonstrated the great power of modernization.
In this war, the United States used many high-tech fighters, precision-guided missiles, smart bombs, etc. These ** are highly accurate and lethal, capable of destroying important enemy targets in a short period of time. In addition, the United States has also used satellite reconnaissance and information technology to conduct comprehensive monitoring and information collection on the battlefield, thus ensuring the absolute superiority of the United States on the battlefield.
But there is also a very classic war that sounded the alarm bell for the world, that is, the "Bekaa Valley Air Battle". The Bekaa Valley air battle is the world's first air battle won purely by electronic warfare, and it is also an unprecedented electronic warfare classic in the world's military history.
On June 9, 1982, Israel and Syria engaged in an 18-minute air battle in the Bekaa Valley, when Syria's military strength was not weak, and 19 SAM missile bases were deployed in the country. But to everyone's surprise, the war lasted only 6 minutes, and Israel used computer and electronic warfare technology to destroy 19 Syrian "SAM" anti-aircraft missile batteries, while Israel had zero**.
During the air battle in the Bekaa Valley, Israeli "Hawk" fighters launched a large-scale attack on Syrian surface-to-air missile positions with newly modified active radar and an internal parallel UHF communication network, which not only successfully completed its mission, but also saved almost all personnel. At the same time, the device of electromagnetically induced communications for Israeli luring Syrian pilots into the air was perfected. In the well-known US Department of Defense's analysis of the "Six-Day War" written after the war, the "Bekaa Valley Air Battle" was called a new phase of electronic warfare.
In this war, all countries have seen the true strength of Israel. From this war, we can also see that Israel's advanced equipment has played a very important role, Israel's research and development strength is not ordinary, and now they are hugging the thigh of the United States, and military operations in the Middle East are more arbitrary.
The results of these two wars have made all countries deeply realize the importance of being advanced. Countries began to increase military investment and strengthen military technology and research and development. At the same time, countries have also begun to re-examine their military strategies and tactics and promote the process of military modernization.
