为向以色列和驻守在沙特的以美国为首的多国部队发出攻击即将来临的通知,对于伊拉克发射的“飞毛腿”中程弹道导弹(IRBM)的攻击,美国空军用来监视波斯湾的导弹预警航天器可以提供大约90秒钟的预警时间。 虽然在遭受最初的空袭之后,伊拉克的固定“飞毛腿”导弹发射场已受到沉重打击,但是,美国和以色列军方仍保持着高度警惕,以防可能遭受用移动发射架发射的“飞毛腿”导弹的攻击。 In an effort to inform Israel and the U.S.-led multinational force stationed in Saudi Arabia of the forthcoming attack, the U.S. Air Force used to monitor the missile early warning spacecraft in the Persian Gulf during the attack on the “Scud” medium range ballistic missile (IRBM) launched by Iraq. Can provide about 90 seconds of warning time. Although the fixed “Scud” missile launch site in Iraq has been hit hard by the initial air strikes, the U.S. and Israeli military forces remain highly vigilant against possible “Scud” missiles fired by mobile launchers attack.
