There are many kinds of contemporary wars, some of which last a long time, while others end quickly in a short period of time. Advances in science and technology have made some local wars extremely rapid, such as the "** Canyon" raid in Libya, which ended the real head-on contact in just 12 minutes. Libya used to be a ** country, but since Gaddafi overthrew the Idris dynasty in 1969, it has formed a bond with the United States, and even declared the United States the "number one enemy".
The conflict between the United States and Libya escalated into a military confrontation, culminating in the decision of the United States to take military action against Libya on April 6, 1986. The principle of military operations is to strike targets related to the main wing of terror, punish Gaddafi, and minimize the number of US troops** and avoid civilians**. The battle plan targeted several main targets for the raid, the Libyan capital, Tripoli, and Benghazi, the second-largest city.

The principle of military operations is to strike targets related to the main wing of terror, punish Gaddafi, and minimize the number of US troops** and avoid civilians**. The battle plan targeted several main targets for the raid, the Libyan capital, Tripoli, and Benghazi, the second-largest city. In the Libyan air strikes, the United States demonstrated its strong military strength and determination.
The entire operation was carried out at night to reduce the number of civilians** while exploiting the weakness of the Libyan Air Force's ability to fight at night. After a series of diplomatic lobbying and military deployments, Reagan personally went into battle, and finally gave the order to go to war on April 14, 1986. First, the United States, through diplomatic lobbying, hopes that allies will support economic and political action against Libya, including the closure of the Libyan embassy and the expulsion of Libyan diplomats.
Despite the tough stance of the United States, most European countries oppose direct military action. Second, in terms of military deployment, air strikes rely on F-111 Aardvark bombers, and the closest U.S. military bases to Libya are Italy and Spain in southern Europe. However, the two countries, fearing an escalation of terrorist activities, rejected the request of the United States. In order to carry out Operation Canyon, Reagan had to intervene personally and finally gain British support through a series of diplomatic consultations.
In the course of the operation, in order to confuse Libya, the US military deliberately disseminated some false battle plans to distract Libya's defense forces. At the same time, the US aircraft carrier fleet began to operate in the Mediterranean Sea and sent additional air tankers to ensure the detour of the aircraft. Eventually, the order to go to war was given by Vice Admiral Kelso on the flagship of the USS Colorado. This operation demonstrated the diplomatic and military decisiveness and strength of the United States.
At the same time, it has also triggered extensive discussions in the international community about military intervention and diplomatic games, further complicating the Libyan issue. The U.S. airstrikes on Libya were a remarkable military operation. The entire operation was carried out under precise planning and coordination, and the aircraft formation flew more than 5,000 kilometers after several aerial refuelings and finally arrived at the target area. In the air, U.S. military planes maintained radio silence, and electronic interference made them appear as a cloud on the radar.
Libya's air defense radar failed under powerful electronic interference, and was subsequently destroyed by anti-radiation missiles, paralyzing the entire air defense system. However, the U.S. military also suffered some accidents, and an F-111 fighter-bomber was hit by a Libyan anti-aircraft artillery unit and crashed while on duty. This operation not only demonstrated the strong military strength of the US military, but also highlighted the uncertainty and danger of war. The U.S. airstrikes on Libya were short-lived, but they yielded remarkable results.
In the space of 12 minutes, more than 150 planes completed the air raid mission, and then quickly disappeared into the vast night sky. Libyan military aircraft suffered heavy losses, 14 were destroyed, and 5 air defense radars were destroyed. In addition, 37 people were killed and 93 injured on the Libyan side, including Gaddafi's adopted daughter and two sons. In the face of this blow, Gaddafi verbally retaliated against the United States on the radio, but then did not launch retaliatory actions against the United States.
This air raid is of great significance to the United States. First, it demonstrated to the world the military strength and determination of the United States. Second, it sends a clear message to the world: the United States will fight terrorism at all costs. Finally, it has also become a successful practice for the United States to respond to international emergencies. During this operation, the rapid dispatch of large aircraft formations by the United States demonstrated its military strength and efficient combat capabilities.
These aircraft not only completed the air raid mission in a short time, but also managed to destroy Libyan military aircraft and air defense radars. This operation sends a clear message to the world: the United States, with its powerful military, will resolutely fight against any act of terrorism that threatens *** and international peace. At the same time, this operation has also allowed the United States to win more respect and credibility in the international arena.
By acting decisively, the United States has not only demonstrated its zero-tolerance stance on terrorism to the international community, but also set an example for other countries. The success of this operation has shown the world the efficiency and decisiveness of the United States in responding to international emergencies, and has also provided a powerful model for the international community to fight terrorism. Above all, the operation set a successful example for the global fight against terrorism.
The decisive action of the United States not only demonstrates its strong military strength, but also sends a clear signal to the countries that support terrorism: the United States will fight terrorism at all costs and maintain international peace and security. This has also provided strong support and guidance for the global fight against terrorism.
All in all, the U.S. air campaign against Libya has achieved remarkable results, not only demonstrating its military strength and determination to the world, but also setting a successful example for the international community in countering terrorism. The success of this operation will help maintain international peace and security, and also let the world see the efficiency and decisiveness of the United States in responding to emergency international situations.
