The Iraqi Navy is looking forward to the arrival of their heavy aircraft-carrying cruisers.Due to Iraq's urging, coupled with sufficient funds, and the efforts of a large number of boatmen from Iraq, the Iraqi aircraft carrier has progressed very smoothly and has entered the final assembly stage. The Varyag equipped with components, due to sufficient funds in Iraq, guaranteed the construction of the Soviet aircraft carrier, and the progress of the Varyag was also slightly accelerated.

Moreover, the missile launcher developed for the aircraft carrier has completed all the test projects, which proves that the missile launcher is completely feasible. The Black Sea Shipyard is preparing to install the missile launcher on the inclined deck.

At this time, the Soviet Union's first aircraft carrier, the Riga, had been renamed the Kuznetsov. It was built in 89 and has been undergoing sea trials in the Black Sea. The MiG-2 has been completed on it. The test flight is about to be delivered to the Soviet Navy.

Iraq is looking forward to its own aircraft carrier even more. However, the aircraft carrier is one step ahead. The Su-25utg carrier-based attack aircraft has entered Iraq. Like the Su-25 fighter jets that Iraq already had, Iraq has carried out avionics on this aircraft. The modification of the system gave it a more powerful attack capability and became a main carrier-based aircraft.

In addition, what Qusay is most looking forward to is the Su-27k fighter jets that can be launched and launched. They are also produced by the Soviet Union and will be secretly delivered to Iraq. When the Iraqi aircraft carrier returns to the base, the corresponding ship The carrier aircraft has also completed basic training.

Now, Reyel and others are still conducting carrier-based aircraft take-off and landing training in Ukraine. They can already fly the Su-27 fighter jet, the most powerful fighter jet of the Soviet Air Force. Navy, take responsibility.

To support the aircraft carrier, a nuclear submarine is also needed. In this regard, Adelina has worked very hard and has cleared all the links. At the right time, the advanced attack nuclear submarine will enter the Iraqi naval base.

One ship is difficult enough. If Iraq wants to get another ship, it can only think of other ways. Therefore, Qusay took aim at the Oscar 2-class nuclear submarine that was stranded in the Persian Gulf.

This is a cruise missile nuclear submarine, and it is also a unique model of the Soviet Union. However, its performance is still very good, and it will not fail to fight against attacking nuclear submarines underwater. Therefore, if this kind of nuclear submarine can be settled in the Iraqi Navy , Qusay naturally wished for it.

In Iraq's shipyards, dismantling is impossible, and those damaged shells can be repaired. Iraq has hired several famous Soviet nuclear submarine experts to be responsible for the repairs.

The only thing that made Qusay unhappy was that the powerful Granite anti-ship missiles on the Oscar 2 class could not be used.Because this kind of missile requires the support of the entire system, and Iraq lacks such support.Moreover, even if they spent a huge amount of money to establish the entire supporting system of this missile, they only have these few missiles equipped on the current Oscar-class nuclear submarine, and they cannot obtain more missiles.

Therefore, Qusay has already planned to modify the launching tubes of these anti-ship missiles so that they can launch Iraq's own land attack cruise missiles.

Now, Iraq's land-attack cruise missile has developed to the Red Bird IV. This missile is eight meters long, which is relatively close to the ten-meter projectile length of the Granite missile, and the diameter after folding is also similar. Therefore, It can just be stuffed into the missile launch tube of this kind of submarine.Due to the increase in volume and the installation of a new type of engine, the range of this cruise missile has finally achieved its intended goal, with a range of 800 meters!

Moreover, to the extent of the already sophisticated inertial navigation plus terrain matching, Iraq has added a new navigation correction item to the navigation system of this missile: the satellite navigation system.

As Iraq participated in the Soviet Union's satellite navigation project and put it into normal operation, a large number of satellite receiving terminals continued to be produced. There was another weapon in Iraq's arsenal: satellite-guided weapons!

Therefore, on the berth, those who participated in the modification were also the launching tubes of this missile for matching.In this way, in addition to attacking nuclear submarines, Iraq will even have cruise missile nuclear submarines. At that time, this kind of submarine will also be a powerful attack weapon when it wanders in the ocean. Using its own cruise missiles, it can completely attack a country's Land targets, to attack.

The reason why the size of the Red Bird IV missile has been enlarged is another reason, that is, it can carry a nuclear warhead!

Although Iraq also has solid ballistic missiles with a long enough range, Iraq does not have any technical reserves to install such missiles on submarines, and many technical problems need to be overcome. In the case of producing nuclear submarines, it is unrealistic to start work and manufacture ballistic missile nuclear submarines by ourselves.

However, only nuclear submarines can have a very good second nuclear strike capability, which is a powerful bargaining chip in the confrontation between major powers. Therefore, when Iraq cannot solve this problem now, it uses cruise missiles to undertake the second nuclear strike mission. Also an option.

Chapter 61 Bahrain Base

Compared with the United States, Iraq now has another big disadvantage, that is, nuclear weapons!

You know, there are thousands of nuclear weapons in the U.S. nuclear arsenal, which can reach Iraq at any time. However, Iraq does not have a single nuclear weapon that can reach the U.S. mainland. At most, it can only reach U.S. military bases in Europe. , However, under the current circumstances, Iraq absolutely cannot force the European position to the US side. Now, Bush is in a difficult situation. Who knows if he will throw out the big stick of nuclear deterrence?

Iraq now has nuclear weapons and delivery vehicles. Iraq's medium-range ballistic missiles and long-range cruise missiles can be replaced with nuclear warheads, but the range is not enough.

Therefore, the Iraqi technicians now have two options: improve the Pioneer missile imported from the Soviet Union, add another level, and increase the range so that it can reach the United States. Although it sounds simple, it is actually very difficult Large, Iraq is making efforts by relying on its own researchers, as well as some rocket experts invited by the Soviet Union.The other is the Oscar 2-class nuclear submarine, which is modified to use cruise missiles, so that when it wanders in the depths of the ocean, it can have weapons that directly threaten the United States.

Of course, these are all prevention and deterrence. Nuclear weapons were not used even during the most serious confrontation period of the Cold War, let alone now, the United States may carry out nuclear deterrence, but it absolutely dare not use them.

However, Iraq must have sufficient countermeasures. Qusay does not like to feel passive, even for the United States, he must be proactive!

At this moment, Qusay would not want to do the stupid thing of testing a nuclear weapon. Iraq would be spectacular, but the consequences would be tragic.

Under the current circumstances, the international situation is favorable to the Middle East, the evil face of the Americans.There is no doubt that, moreover, Bush's current life is not very easy.

The mínzhǔ party is making a lot of noise. Bush's approach has repercussions in the United States.All bad.Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries have always had a good image in the hearts of Americans. Iraq can be said to be a friend of the American people and has helped them solve many problems. In the last 89 years, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and other countries have increased Holds U.S. Treasury bonds.Helped maintain the stability of the U.S. economy.What exactly is Bush's Middle East policy?What Bush has done now has exceeded the limit that American citizens can tolerate.

Of course, a small number of people in the United States welcome this very much, that is, the Jews in the United States.The United States should have done this long ago.In the newspapers, they publicized negative news about Saudi Arabia, Iraq and other countries, especially their systems, without any zìyóu and mínzhǔ.

However, their propaganda did not play a big role.Because, since the mínzhǔ party wants to impeach Bush through this incident, it is natural to seize this incident and make a big fuss.

in Western Europe.I am also very dissatisfied with this approach of the United States.

What is America doing?Full sanctions against Iraq without any justification?It’s more like sanctioning Iraq than sanctions on Western Europe. They can almost imagine that if they follow behind the United States, they don’t export their domestic industrial products to Iraq, and they don’t carry out any economic, industrial, technological, etc. Cooperation in terms of cooperation, then Iraq can almost naturally stop trade with them, for example, not export oil to them!

It's okay for the UK to say that although the cost of oil extracted in the UK is a bit higher, it is still enough for them to use, but what about other countries?

Not just Iraq, what about other Arab countries following Iraq?

Therefore, although the U.S. Secretary of State lobbied in Western European countries, their answers were almost the same. The U.S. wanted to sanction Iraq, and they had no control over it, but their own country still wanted to achieve normal trade relations with Iraq.

Seeing the steady implementation of the Arab dollar in the Arab region, Europe is also red-eyed. Their own unified currency has also accelerated its pace compared to the original. Their Maastricht Treaty has been signed. It is planned that before 96, the The European Community was established as a European Union.

For Europe, the most important thing now is to develop their own economy. As the blood of industry, oil resources, they will absolutely not want any fluctuations.

The United States is now imposing sanctions on Iraq, which just gives Western European countries a better opportunity. Western Europe can provide all kinds of raw materials that the United States does not provide. The Iraqi market that the United States has withdrawn happens to be divided among Western European countries.At the beginning, NATO countries suffered a lot of losses in response to the call of the United States. They could only watch France, which is not part of NATO, export its weapons to many countries and earn a lot of money. Other countries have long been jealous.

This time Bush did not behave authentically, and they almost all spoke in unison.

Among all the countries, France is more excited. In particular, Dassault's eyes are bright with regard to the stealth aircraft exhibited in Iraq. The vice president of Dassault has come to Iraq in person, hoping to take a closer look.

Of course, Iraq will not let him observe this stealth aircraft easily, even if it is touched, it is very dangerous. Who knows if he will leave those coating powders between his nails, and then go back to study ?

If you want to get these technologies, Dassault Corporation, you need to pay a certain price.

When the Middle East was very lively, the Soviet Union in the north was quiet.

Because now, Gorbachev is also battered.

His political reform was actually difficult. He didn't know that due to the support of the Senate, his decrees could not be implemented at all. Therefore, he further borrowed the power of the masses. For example, he had already withdrawn from the Bolsheviks. Ye Lite of the Ke party has now become good friends with Gorbachev.

There is a lot of resistance, and Gorbachev still firmly believes that he can lead the Soviet Union to a better, more free and civilized tomorrow.

Historically, the Soviet Union implemented differential elections for people's representatives in 1988, and abandoned the one-party system in 1990. Now, because of Qusay's little wing, the Soviet Union still insists on the one-party system.It's just that the elders are not completely able to resist this trend, and some people in the elders have passed away, their power is gradually weakening, and there are no firm people who can make up their minds.

Qusay only hoped that the Soviet Union could survive, at least until the Soviets built an aircraft carrier for themselves. For the Soviet Union, Qusay could only do so much.

Qusay's gaze was still fixed on the Persian Gulf area, where there was a nail that must be pulled out!

Bahrain, eight kilometers near Manama, the capital of Bahrain, is the Jafal Naval Base.

"Yankee, get out!" shouted a leading Arab.

Suddenly, a more intense voice came from below: "Yankee, get out!"

The sound was loud and resounded through the sky.

Since Saudi Arabia and Iraq announced the despicable behavior of the Americans, the people of Bahrain are also angry. The actions of the Americans are simply intolerable. The Americans dare to carry out two assassinations of leaders in their Arab world at the same time!

Large-scale demonstrations broke out in various parts of Arabia.

If it was in other places, at most it would be to parade on the street, and then, at best, go to the other side's embassy to demonstrate.

But in Bahrain, it is different, because Bahrain has American military bases!

The Americans used force against their compatriots. Now, it is also the right one to settle accounts with the American army.

Therefore, in other areas, when it is hot at noon, they do not march, but here, demonstrations continue 24 hours a day.
