  • Tome 4 : ARTILLERIE SOL-AIR : L'essor
    Tome 4 : ARTILLERIE SOL-AIR : L’ESSOR À partir de la fin 1970, malgré leur appellation banale de régiment d’artillerie, les unités antiaériennes de l’Armée de terre peuvent s’enorgueillir d’appartenir à une subdivision d’Arme en pleine mutation : l’Artillerie Sol-Air. Dans le chapitre 13, avec le Hawk, « La défense sol-air à moyenne portée » en est le fleuron. Les régiments Hawk ont une personnalité singulière. Par leurs améliorations successives, leur système d’arme et son environnement conservent une valeur opérationnelle à la hauteur de la menace aérienne. Au chapitre 14, en passant du canon au missile, provoquant des changements de garnison, l’arrivée du Roland provoque une véritable révolution dans les cinq régiments chargés de « La Défense sol-air à courte portée ». La nécessité de donner aux troupes toutes armes des moyens modernes d’autodéfense antiaérienne, puissants et simples à servir, est enfin prise en considération sous les deux aspects « LATTA et asa à très courte portée », dans le chapitre 15. L’ASA française devient ainsi une des plus modernes et des plus cohérentes qui soit, tant par la nature, la diversité que par la complémentarité de ses différents moyens. Ses aptitudes et son efficacité - au tir et manœuvrières - sont régulièrement démontrées ; ses progrès sont remarquables, ses perspectives d’avenir sont séduisantes. Le chapitre 16, c’est « L’ASA à son apogée ». Chapitre 13 : « L’Artillerie Sol-Air à moyenne portée » En France, comme il y a déjà été fait allusion, le système d’arme Hawk n’est plus seulement utilisé qu’en défense aérienne.

    Portuguese 1980s TO&Es v1.2 BATTLEGROUP CWPT-01 Portuguese Independent Mixed Brigade 1980s (ae) Command HQ x1 Commander CWPT-29 (a) The Portuguese 1st Independent Mixed Brigade (1a Brigada Transport/Recce Mista Autonoma) was Portugal’s only permanent, fully-manned, x1 M577A2 Armoured Command Vehicle CWPT-17 deployable, major combat formation. However, there were no regiments permanently assigned to the Brigade: it was manned by Forward Air Controller/Recce personnel drawn on rotation from regiments of the four Portuguese x4 Forward Observer CWPT-37 Military Regions. In the event of a war between NATO and the Transport/Recce Warsaw Pact, the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade would be deployed x4 M113 Armoured Personnel Carrier CWPT-12 to Italy and would come under command of Italian III Corps. In theory, as many as x4 Independent Mixed Brigades were to be BATTLEGROUPS formed in wartime, but for most of the 1980s Portugal did not have sufficient tanks and APCs to form even a second Independent Mixed BATTLEGROUP CWPT-09 Brigade, let alone a third and a fourth. This situation was partially x1 Armoured Battalion (b) rectified by 1989 (thanks to US military aid) and the Portuguese finally had enough tanks and other heavy equipment to form a 2nd BATTLEGROUP CWPT-11 Independent Mixed Brigade. However, there was no permanent establishment for the 2nd Brigade – the equipment was to be kept in (c) x1 Mechanised Infantry Battalion storage so that it could be formed in wartime. BATTLEGROUP CWPT-12 (b) In 1985, the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade’s Armoured Battalion x2 Motorised Infantry Battalion had x2 Squadrons of M47 Medium Tanks and x1 Squadron of M48A5 Medium Tanks.

However, none of these attributes give Iran any decisive advantages in a contest with Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is neither helpless nor without military options. * While it is easy to start a war with Iran, it is anything but to finish it.
