Ye Ruofu next to him was full of admiration for the lieutenant colonel of the Iraqi navy who was already familiar with the operation of the entire warship even though he had only taken over it for more than a month. He searched the entire Soviet navy, and there was no one who loved and was so obsessed with warships like him. .

Abdul has changed from the position of the captain of the Hedden-class warship to the current captain of the Modern-class warship. He is well aware of the great responsibility on his shoulders, so he has been working hard to master this nearly [-]-ton warship. The operation.

This missile test can't cause any problems. This is a demonstration.

Moreover, in this test, the personnel of the Iraqi Navy took the leading role, and the Soviets next to them were the instructors. Moreover, when the Iraqis made mistakes in their operations, they would take over the operation at any time.

A puff of thick smoke spewed out from the launch tube in front, and then, a huge missile rushed out.

There is a solid-state booster in the combustion chamber of the main engine of the sandfly missile. At this time, the booster is ignited to help the missile accelerate. This is also a defect of the ramjet engine. It cannot complete the boosting work by itself. The ramjet engine must After reaching a certain speed, it can be ignited.After the booster is burned, the ramjet main engine is ignited, air is sucked in from the four inlets around the warhead, and the missile continues to accelerate.

All the observers on the helicopter recorded this spectacular scene. The smoke from the anti-ship missiles almost surrounded the entire Hyundai class.

Three minutes later, the target ship, which was 3 kilometers away, was hit above the waterline by this huge missile. The entire target ship immediately became two pieces and sank very quickly.

The highlight of the exercise, the launch of anti-ship missiles, was a complete success.

Then, there were traces of fighter planes in the sky, and the Iraqi fighter planes that took off from the Abbas base flew over the formation of ships to provide air defense capabilities for the formation.

After the spectacular scene, the Super Hornet helicopter returned to the Qeshm Island base.

"Excuse me, is this exercise of yours aimed at the US Navy?" A British observer saw that the commander of the Iraqi navy had just returned from the exercise, and immediately seized the opportunity to ask.

Someone finally raised this question. This is a sharp question. After all, everyone knows what is going on in the recent situation.

"Iraq and the United States are close allies. Our exercise is just a very ordinary exercise, and it is not aimed at the US Navy at all," Nasser said.

Meanwhile, in Baghdad, journalists also raised the issue with the Iraqi Foreign Ministry spokesman.

"This is just a joint exercise between our Iraqi Navy and the Saudi Navy, and there is nothing targeted." The spokesperson of the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: "We and the United States are close allies. Just yesterday, we also conducted a joint exercise with the US Navy. A joint exercise was held."

After speaking, the spokesperson took out a photo. In this photo, several Iraqi fighter planes were flying over an American aircraft carrier.

The world didn't know about this confrontation, so after seeing this photo, journalists were all shocked.

Could it be that the US aircraft carrier is here to hold a joint military exercise with the Iraqi side?

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Iraq, and the United States jointly hold military exercises!Looking at that photo, it was on the headlines of all the newspapers, and the U.S. Navy's dual aircraft carrier formation outside the Gulf of Oman had already arrived, and I felt that I had no way to start.

In the photo, a fighter plane, which the outside world has never seen before, is equipped with two conspicuous anti-ship missiles, flying over the deck of the aircraft carrier.

This is the last JH-[-] fighter plane, the camera it carried, and the photo it took. This photo made the powerful US Navy not know how to deal with it.

Expose the lies of the Iraqis to the media?It's very simple. Now, the outside world is very suspicious of this photo, and the motive is wrong. The US Navy came here to find trouble with the Arabs. How could it suddenly change its attitude 180 degrees and become a war with Iraq? People conduct exercises?

However, even if this photo has undergone the most special technical processing, it cannot be explained that it is a forgery. With the advanced computer programs of later generations, a forged photo can still be recognized as processed, not to mention the current technology , This photo is indeed taken in real life.

So, how does the U.S. Navy explain it?Was the aircraft carrier formation of one's own side swaggered in by the opponent, and then flew away swaggeringly?Under the opponent's wing, there are anti-ship missiles mounted!This will simply make the U.S. Navy the laughing stock of the world.

He thought he was extremely powerful, but as a result, more than a dozen battleships, including the Aegis battleship, did not notice that the opponents all flew above his head!

If you admit that it is a joint exercise, how can you use your own force again?

Ted, the captain of the Carl Vinson aircraft carrier, was facing a torment in his heart at this time. Those fighter planes passing by his deck were simply the biggest shame he had ever served.

"Our F-14 fighter plane has already flown over the Arab exercise area, and was intercepted by the Iraqi Mirage 4000. Now, the two sides are flying with each other." A message came from the pre-warning plane.

After the two aircraft carriers launched more than 20 fighter jets, the Iraqi Air Force also took off a large number of fighter jets, all of which were heavy-duty air superiority fighter jets. , the two sides are flying with each other.

From the bubble cockpit, the pilots of both sides can see the pilots of the other side, and even see the expressions of the other side.

The F-14 fighter jets of the U.S. Navy are the most powerful heavy fighter jets in the United States. They are equipped with the iconic Phoenix missiles, Sparrow missiles and Sidewinder missiles. This kind of air superiority is mounted to show off to the Iraqi Air Force. .

In contrast, the Iraqi Air Force only mounted the medium-range sky flash missile and the short-range R-73 missile. At present, the United States still does not know that Iraq has completed the R-73 missile, which is an excellent short-range and large-range missile. Shaft-launched combat missiles are integrated into the Phantom 4000. If it really enters close-range combat, although the maneuverability of the F-14 is unmatched, the advantages of the R-73 missile and the helmet sight can make the Phantom 4000 took the lead.

The Iraqis had been prepared for a long time. Although Iraq did not have a carrier-based fixed-wing fighter force, the advanced land-based aviation in Iraq made the Americans dare not make any changes.

Iraq used the E-2 early warning aircraft on Qeshm Island to provide early warning. At the same time, the Saudi Air Force also took off an E-3 early warning aircraft to monitor the situation in the air at all times. The Saudi Air Force will also fly two squadrons of F-15 fighter jets to give the Iraqi Air Force a boost.

After the Saudi Air Force's E-3 early warning plane appeared in the sky, the situation facing the U.S. Navy suddenly became complicated. According to the pre-plan, they would dispatch the EA-6B electronic jamming plane to release strong electromagnetic interference, causing the Iraqi Navy formation to Get a taste of being disturbed.

However, now after dispatching the first wave of fighter planes, they have begun to be careful, because, facing the strong attitude of Iraq, especially Saudi Arabia, they have to think more.

Saudi capital, Riyadh.

"This time, the Iraqi Navy's exercise was very spectacular. In particular, the missile launched by the Hyundai-class destroyer actually exceeded twice the speed of sound. Moreover, when launching the missile, there was no helicopter relay guidance. It may be difficult for the U.S. Navy to intercept such missiles." In the palace, Defense Minister Prince Sultan said with a smile.

Although he really wanted to board the Saudi warship in person and follow the entire exercise, but if there were still wind and waves on the sea, and the bumps back and forth, his body might not be able to bear it.However, the officer on that warship broadcast the content of the entire exercise almost to him live.

Listening to what Prince Sultan said, King Fahd also showed a smile on his face. In his hand, he was already holding a newspaper. In the photo on the newspaper, the fighter plane of the Iraqi Navy was flying from the deck of the aircraft carrier. Skimming over.

Qusay is really courageous. The U.S. Navy came this time to demonstrate to Iraq, but until now, it was Iraq who demonstrated to the United States.

Flying over the US aircraft carrier, how did the Iraqis do it?That is a symbol of American military power. Every time the United States strikes abroad, the navy plays the leading role. The aircraft carrier is the expression of American military power.

King Fahd felt that even if there was a real conflict with the United States one day, Qusay would never let him down.The future of the Arab world is to become the center of the world, and their currency will be popular all over the world.King Fahd was not originally a person who aspired to power, but he was an Arab, and he was very happy to see the strength of his own nation.

"If this time, the United States stops arms sales to us and detains the fighter planes that we have not yet delivered, then we will turn to Iraq in an all-round way. The weapons made in Iraq are more suitable for our Middle East terrain. We, Saudi Arabia, should also buy a batch of fighter jets that have passed,” said Prince Sultan.

Thinking about the Iraqi planes that can fly over the opponent's aircraft carrier, Prince Sultan is full of curiosity about this kind of fighter plane.

Not only Prince Sultan, but the whole world is full of curiosity about this kind of fighter. It seems that they have never seen this kind of fighter before.

Afterwards, they finally learned that this type of fighter is a fighter-bomber that has just been successfully developed by Iraq and the eastern powers and is equipped with troops. It has a combat radius of [-] kilometers and can carry anti-ship missiles, cruise missiles, etc. As soon as this fighter was born, it attracted the attention of the world. Moreover, NATO gave this aircraft a code name: Flounder.

"Now, although the US aircraft carrier formation is approaching the exercise area of ​​our navy, the two sides did not directly clash. The Iraqi air force took off several Mirage 4000 fighter jets, and the two sides did not confront each other." Prince Sultan continued.

"Qusay did a good job." King Fahd said: "The Americans have not played a role in this trick, so the next trick will definitely come to us."

"Your Majesty, the special plane of the US Secretary of State has arrived at Riyadh Airport and will arrive at the palace in about half an hour."

Hearing the notification, King Fahd smiled. This time, the United States has gone to war. For this matter, even the Secretary of State came over. However, in the 70s, under the lobbying of the US Secretary of State, Saudi Arabia made The policy to settle oil in US dollars.

When the US Secretary of State came here, the first stop was not Iraq, but Saudi Arabia, and he wanted to open a breakthrough from Saudi Arabia.

King Fahd guessed very correctly.What happened on the Arabian Sea, an emergency meeting was held in the United States. After the meeting, the Secretary of State rushed to the other side of the ocean, preparing to lobby Saudi Arabia.

According to the pre-established strategy, Saudi Arabia also knows what role it will play in this regard.

It is very unwise to have a direct conflict with the United States. Now, the power of the Arabs is not strong enough, but they must not be under the coercion of the United States. Therefore, Iraq has a tough attitude and will carry out a war against the aircraft carrier formation coming from the United States. A tit-for-tat show of force, Saudi Arabia is also supporting Iraq in this regard, so that the idea of ​​the United States wanting to use force to coerce the Arabs goes bankrupt.

And then, the United States has to step down again. This time, the reason is that the United States wants Saudi Arabia to buy a large number of American national debts, and at the same time, prevent the joint currency plan of the Arab countries.In this regard, Saudi Arabia needs to make appropriate compromises.Saudi Arabia can invest another part of the purchase of national debt, and the currency plan must be carried out. However, it can promise the United States that no matter how the future develops, Saudi Arabia’s basic policy will not change, which is to use US dollars to settle oil.

Let the United States feel at ease first, even if there is a war, it will ultimately be resolved through negotiations.As for the agreement, the signed agreement was originally designed to be broken.Have the Americans signed fewer agreements?The Americans will tear up the agreement at any time. In this world, whoever is strong is just.
