In the early hours of September 17th, after six days of preparation, the third phase of the Boi War, namely the liberation of Kuwait and the ground war against Iraq, commenced.
At 2 AM, Ding Zhennan signaled the official start of combat operations.
Leading the charge was the preliminary firepower preparation, with the Air Force taking the main role.
Although the main force in Boss Bay was the Navy Air Force, comprising six wings of ship-borne aircraft deployed at ground bases, the Air Force did not stand idly by, leaving enough support aircraft, including eight "Zhi-8C"s and dozens of large refueling planes equipped with hose refueling systems.
In addition, there were three "Zhi-10A"s.
Aside from the one stationed at King Khalid Military City which participated in the early attack actions, the other two entered last month.
Previously, when hunting down Iraq's ballistic missile launchers, these three Joint Command Aircraft played a crucial role.
