187: Chapter 187 Let's try our best to protect our airspace from invasion.

Li Yi set the usage area for all the weapons and equipment he had purchased. Once the time was up, he directly teleported to Homs Air Base via the Multiverse Arms Trading System.

As Li Yi extracted the newly purchased batch of weapons and equipment for Syria from the Multiverse Arms Trading System, Homs Air Base was quickly piled high with 800 Tianlong Series UAVs, 2,900 armored vehicles, and a large number of anti-aircraft missiles and anti-tank missiles, filling the base to the brim.

After confirming that the delivery was complete and nothing was missing, Li Yi immediately teleported back to the presidential suite of the Riviera Hotel via the Multiverse Arms Trading System.

When Major General Zaha and Colonel Andrei received the news and arrived at Homs Air Base one after another, the officers and soldiers assigned to receive the shipment had already begun the transfer work.

According to the deployment plan discussed by Major General Zaha and General Faraj, he would be able to take away a batch of armored vehicles, including 250 Fierce Rhino series Tanks, 650 Fierce Tiger series Armored Vehicles, 200 Fierce Lion series Artillery, and 100,000 rounds of various supporting shells.

At the same time, he would also receive 100 Sky Dragon Mark I UAVs, 150 Tianlong Mark II UAVs, as well as a batch of various models of Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile and Tianjian Series Anti-Tank Missile, ensuring that his troops could be fully replenished with weapons and ammunition.

Colonel Andrei needed to distribute the remaining weapons and equipment to troops in other directions. In the northwest of Syria, 100 Fierce Rhino series Tanks, 200 Fierce Tiger series Armored Vehicles, and 100 Fierce Lion series Artillery would be deployed.

In the Golan Heights region of Syria, 200 Fierce Rhino series Tanks, 300 Fierce Tiger series Armored Vehicles, and 200 Fierce Lion series Artillery would be deployed. The remaining 150 Fierce Rhino series Tanks, 350 Fierce Tiger series Armored Vehicles, and 200 Fierce Lion series Artillery would be deployed to the troops in Damascus or kept in reserve, ready to be dispatched to various battlefields at any time.

50 Sky Dragon Mark I UAVs would be deployed in the northwest, 100 in the Golan Heights, and 50 would be left for the troops in Damascus. 100 Tianlong Mark II UAVs would be deployed in the northwest, 150 in the Golan Heights, and 100 would be left for the troops in Damascus. The Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile and Tianjian Series Anti-Tank Missile would also be deployed to various directions in the same way.

The Tianlei Missile Defense System would be escorted to Damascus by Colonel Andrei. After assembly, it would be connected to the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile and the few existing anti-aircraft missiles in Syria to improve Syria's air defense capabilities.

Watching the officers and soldiers busily moving the various weapons and ammunition, Major General Zaha was very happy. With the addition of this batch of weapons and ammunition, he believed that he would soon be able to completely wipe out the Opposition Armed Forces in the northeast of Syria, and by then, he should be able to be promoted to Lieutenant General smoothly.

As for supporting operations in other directions, he would consider that after his promotion to Lieutenant General. According to Major General Zaha's estimation, at least 10 Mechanized Infantry Brigades and 3 artillery brigades would need to be dispatched, while the remaining 5 Mechanized Infantry Brigades would still have to garrison the northeast to prevent the Opposition Armed Forces from making a comeback.

At the same time, the previously formed 10 reserve Mechanized Infantry Brigades would likely all be replenished into the various Mechanized Infantry Brigades. Major General Zaha was somewhat hesitant about whether to form more reserve Mechanized Infantry Brigades.

If he were to form more reserve Mechanized Infantry Brigades, he could only use the phased-out, semi-scrapped armored vehicles, which would only meet training needs and could not quickly form combat effectiveness.

After some consideration, Major General Zaha decided to form 3 reserve Mechanized Infantry Brigades and recruit 15,000 soldiers, so as not to lack follow-up troops after supporting operations on other fronts.

After obtaining the new batch of Tianlong Series UAVs, Major General Zaha decided to replenish some to the various Mechanized Infantry Brigades and UAV battalions to fill the void left by previously consumed drones.

At the same time, he would form 5 additional UAV battalions, each equipped with 20 Tianlong Mark II UAVs, which would be used to support the operations of various Mechanized Infantry Brigades or to execute combat missions independently.

After Colonel Andrei briefed the officers and soldiers responsible for transporting the weapons and equipment on their destinations, he immediately escorted the Tianlei Missile Defense System back to Damascus. He needed to follow General Faraj's orders to complete the assembly of this Tianlei Missile Defense System as soon as possible and put it into use.

Although the USA military had been driven out of Syrian territory, General Faraj did not believe that the USA would not have subsequent actions. It was unlikely that they would continue to send troops to attack Syria by land, but sending fighter jets to air-raid Syria was entirely possible.

After Colonel Andrei unloaded the Tianlei Missile Defense System at a Syrian air base in Damascus and completed the assembly, he immediately notified General Faraj. General Faraj rushed over to inspect the air defense capabilities of the Tianlei Missile Defense System.

Looking at the numerous pieces of equipment and instruments in front of him, General Faraj immediately ordered the activation of the Tianlei Missile Defense System. Soon, various operating codes began to appear on the large screen, gradually displaying a map of the whole of Syria, along with the flight paths and information of various aircraft and drones currently in Syrian airspace.

General Faraj saw that some drones were models not owned by Syria, so he hurriedly ordered the operating officers to identify the enemy and friendly aircraft and drones. Soon, they discovered that some drones and fighter jets marked in red had appeared in the Golan Heights, northwest, and northeast of Syria.

These areas were not yet fully captured by Syria and were still controlled by Israel, Turkey, and the Opposition Armed Forces. It seemed they were very arrogant, thinking that the Syrian army would not attack their fighter jets and drones.

General Faraj also ordered all information regarding Syria's Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile and existing anti-aircraft missiles to be entered into the Tianlei Missile Defense System. After a busy period of work, General Faraj saw the interception success rates of the anti-aircraft missiles in various regions displayed on the large screen.

Because a large number of Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles were deployed in Damascus, the interception success rate exceeded 80%. In other regions, it was mostly between 40% and 60%, and in some areas, the interception success rate was only 10%, mainly because no Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles had been deployed there.

Looking at the data in front of him, General Faraj felt that there were significant loopholes in Syria's air defense. However, Syria did not have more funds to purchase Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles, so they could only make do with what they had and try to protect Syria's airspace from intrusion.
