This aircraft is basically the same as the F-15D in appearance. The engine compartment and part of the structure have been redesigned to increase the flight range by 30.00%. Third, the weapon racks have been doubled. Except for the original racks, each conformal fuel tank There are also 1 pylons on the side, using a digital fly-by-wire control system with automatic terrain tracking capability and 6 redundancy and an advanced electronic cockpit display system.When the F-3 was developed, the manufacturer announced that the aircraft did not weigh a single gram for ground attack, but now, this aircraft has been converted into an advanced fighter-bomber.
It was born out of the F-15D, and has exactly the same air combat capabilities as the F-15D. Moreover, during the bombing mission, it also carried air-to-air missiles. If it encountered a situation midway, it would drop the bomb. Perform air superiority tasks, which is unmatched by any other fighter.Moreover, with the terrain matching system, the ultra-low-altitude penetration ability is excellent.
Therefore, Iraq has maintained at least one early warning aircraft patrol over Jordan, which can monitor the take-off and landing of US fighter planes at that base.
Moreover, Iraq informed Colonel Gaddafi to be ready to deal with air strikes at any time.
The Libyan Air Force has already replaced 28 Super Seven fighter jets at this time, and Iraq has exported advanced Sky Flash missiles to the Libyan Air Force.However, the combat effectiveness of the Libyan Air Force may not be comparable to that of the United States.
If the United States really launched an air strike, even if Iraq exported the Mirage 4000 to Libya, it would not work.
First, modern warfare is definitely not determined by one or two new weapons. It is a contest of the entire system. However, Libya does not yet have complete modern armaments, and only relying on Super Seven cannot complete air battles.Second, the training level of the Libyan Air Force, Qusay is absolutely unbelievable.At best, they can fly the plane to the sky and then land it back. Although Qusay believes in their courage, he doesn't believe in their training level.
Therefore, in order to increase Libya's strength, Qusay suggested that Iraq send a group of air force instructors to guide them in air confrontation, but the colonel politely refused.
The colonel already knows that this kind of fighter plane has created brilliant battles many times in the hands of Pakistani people. It has fought against the Soviet army in Afghanistan and almost defeated them. Pakistani people have used this kind of aircraft to fight against F-16. , It proved that the performance of this kind of aircraft is not worse than that of the American ones, so if he still relied on the surface-to-air missiles of the Air Defense Force in the past, now, he feels that he can completely drive away the U.S. by relying on these advanced aircraft aggressor.
Although it was not approved by the United Nations, the United States still clamored fiercely. Since Libya refused to hand over the terrorists, then the United States had to attack Libya!
The United States now wants to use its own force for many reasons. The main thing is to show its military presence in the Middle East. The Bush government is tough and hopes to use this method to warn the people in the Middle East. Those countries are not allowed by the United States to sell the national debt of the United States. If they have any new means, they will be hit more at any time!
Iraq, France, and the Soviet Union all began to intervene and mediate. However, at this time, the United States declared that the criminal suspect must be extradited in the United Kingdom or the United States.
There was no hope of mediation, and over the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, clouds began to gather again.
In Qusay's strategy, Libya is also a very important place, because it is on the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea. If Iraq can have a military presence in Libya, it will close the door to the Eastern Mediterranean. The United States wants to deploy aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean. , If they threaten the Middle East, they will have to face the air power in Libya at any time.
However, Colonel Gaddafi is also a rebellious person. His mind is full of thoughts that cannot be reasoned. Qusay has always faced him with a tolerant heart and will never use force.The proposal that Iraq send air force personnel is also to help them. Since Gaddafi refuses, then Iraq will give up this idea.
What is Colonel Ka thinking?Do they really think that they can defend the sky of Libya by relying on the Super Seven fighters exported to Libya?Even in Iraq, I'm afraid I don't have that kind of confidence!
In essence, Gaddafi is just a big chief in an African tribe, and he is not that good at land warfare, let alone the air force.
In the Reagan era, the United States once launched an air strike on Libya. That air strike can only be described as tragic. It is the country with the most powerful military in the world. What's the problem with air strikes on a small African country?
Last time, Iraq helped Libya a lot, but this time, Libya rejected Iraq's kindness. The more reason is probably Gaddafi's face.
Qusay was watching the progress of the incident. Although he wanted to stretch out his hand to pull Gaddafi, but the last victory may have made Gaddafi start to despise the American entry, and out of various psychology, Gaddafi Fei did not accept Qusay's support, so Libya is very dangerous!
Don't cry when you see the coffin. Does Gaddafi have to be ravaged by the United States to realize the gap?Qusay thought of the Yugoslav Federation in the later generations. Although the people shared the same hatred, there was a gap between them, and they finally succumbed.
Just as the relationship between Libya and the United States became increasingly tense, an exercise began in the South China Sea.
In September 1981, the South China Sea was surging.
In the tumbling waves, two Iraqi warships and two Chinese warships formed a mixed formation.
A modern-class destroyer of the Iraqi Navy, the Tigris, and a Hedden-class frigate, the peak breaks the waves. After Iraqi negotiations, this modern-class ship has been fully assigned to the Iraqi Navy as a debt repayment. The Iraqi Navy named it Tigris , another Dreadnought, named the Euphrates.
This time, these two warships, led by the Iraqi supply ship Qusayr, crossed the Indian Ocean and came to the South China Sea. This is also the first time that the Iraqi Navy has gone abroad and entered the world.
Next to the two Iraqi warships, two Chinese warships are also sailing together. They are a Luhu-class No. 112 (Harbin No.) of the Chinese Navy, and a Jiangwei-class frigate No. 539 Anqing of the South China Sea Fleet. .
For this exercise, China also attaches great importance to it, so it sent two warships that it can take out.
Among them, it goes without saying that No. 112 has almost represented the most modern warship of the Chinese Navy since its completion. It has become a famous ship in China and has repeatedly participated in various activities.
The 539 Anqing is China's second-generation frigate. When the Jianghu class was increasingly unable to cope with modern threats, while the Luhu class was being built, the new frigate, the Jiangwei class, began in 87. Construction, which is one year earlier than in the history of later generations.
Chapter 76 Yizhong Maritime Exercise
Chapter 76 Yizhong Maritime Exercise
Due to Iraq's capital investment and participation in the development of weapons in many aspects of the eastern power, the defense funds of the eastern power have been saved, and various other projects have made great strides forward.
Although Iraq has participated in many projects of the eastern powers, especially the air force, and participated in the development of several fighters, it has not cooperated closely with the eastern powers in terms of the navy, except for the assistance of the eastern powers to build Iraq Outside of the shipyard, there is no other cooperation.
Because the eastern powers do not have any advantages in naval ship construction and ship subsystems. Although the Jiangwei class is already a relatively advanced warship built by the eastern powers, as long as you see the huge six-six in front of the bridge Coupled with launch tubes, it makes people think about it.
When the Jiang Wei class appeared in front of the world, almost everyone was puzzled by the huge six-pack launcher in front of it. What is in such a thick body?Some people speculate that it is an anti-ship missile, but it is thick enough and short in length, or is it an anti-submarine torpedo?
Finally, the answer to the ridicule was revealed: it is the ship-to-air missile!This is the culmination of decades of technology from the Eastern powers: the first generation of ship-to-air missiles, Hongqi 61! At this time, it has been more than 20 years behind the world. This kind of semi-active radar-guided ship-to-air missile with a range of only [-] kilometers, which can only defend against high-altitude targets, cannot deal with sea-skimming anti-ship missiles at all. After being equipped with warships, it will fall behind Therefore, there is not a large number of equipment in later generations, after building a few ships.The construction of newer frigates equipped with Sea Sidewinder missiles began.
And that huge launch tube is because the wings of this missile cannot be folded!For such a reason, the volume of this missile launcher is huge.Also, there is no reload capability.
In terms of modern technology, especially electronic technology, the eastern powers have been far out of touch with the world, but they are catching up.
In the later generations, the No. 112 guided missile destroyer was launched in 92 and entered service in 94. Now, because Iraq has shared a lot of funds for military projects.And brought a lot of advanced technology from the West. Therefore, the progress of this destroyer has also been greatly advanced. It was launched in 90 and delivered to the Navy in April 91. Now, it is one of the Chinese naval ships. The youngest warship, meanwhile.It is also the most powerful one.
Lieutenant Colonel Abdul of the Iraqi Navy stood on the bridge, looking at the endless sea.Although after a long voyage, they haven't landed yet, but their mental state is very good. This is the first time they have sailed so far and come to this strange sea area to compete with the navy of a friendly country. joint exercise.
When it comes to navies, the two countries are actually more or less the same.The naval history of the big eastern countries is relatively long, however.Most of their warships are very backward, far from the world's advanced level. For example, the most advanced ship No. 112, all kinds of weapons, except for anti-ship missiles, which are self-produced, the rest.All are imported.
As for Iraq, although relying on military purchases, it has advanced warships, such as the Hyundai class under his feet.It is a relatively advanced warship.However, the Iraqi Navy has not conducted a large-scale naval battle until now, and their real combat effectiveness is still unknown.
In the same place, the naval personnel of the two countries all know the great mission they shoulder, and they all know their heavy responsibility.
The Modern-class Euphrates is in the middle of the fleet, the Hedden-class is on the left, and the Harbin and Anqing are on the starboard side. The formation of four warships has a very powerful attack capability and strong anti-ship capabilities. The Modern class provides area air defense capabilities.
"The American ship is still following," said formation deputy commander Iter.
Abdul knew that ever since they crossed the Strait of Malacca, a warship followed behind them lingeringly. It was a Perry-class frigate of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet, the "Vandergrift".This warship was very arrogant and followed them all the time. At the closest time, the distance was only a few hundred meters, and their hull numbers could be clearly seen.
This exercise will definitely not be very peaceful. No matter what tricks the Americans play, they will crush the American conspiracy!
"Don't worry about him, let's continue the exercise." Abdul said: "Our next exercise subject is a joint anti-submarine exercise. We will notify our friendly side to prepare for an anti-submarine exercise and release our helicopter!"
The Americans are monitoring, and in this kind of sea area, they can't drive the Americans away, so they can only ignore the existence of the other party, what to do, what to do.
Following Abdul's order, the four warships dispersed into a line formation.
During the air defense drill just now, it was necessary to form a diamond-shaped dense formation, with the Hyundai class with area air defense missiles in the center, and other ships with point defense capabilities on the side, and the anti-submarine exercise is another formation, which requires a The characters are lined up, and the spacing is very large, so reduce the speed of the ship to avoid interference from its own noise.
Pull the net in one word, and at the same time, the anti-submarine helicopter drops sonobuoys in the necessary area to complete the process of finding suspicious underwater targets.
Of course they are not without silver here. Under the water, there is a 035 Ming-class submarine of the Chinese Navy, below them, acting as their prey.
Before the Harbin, it was not easy to find out the noisy Ming-class submarines of our own navy, because their own detection methods were also very backward.However, the Harbin has an advanced sonar system imported from France, especially the towed body sonar, which makes it very capable of detecting underwater submarines.
Of course, they didn't know that there was another submarine under the water now, and it was still a nuclear submarine!
After the Oscar 2 was repaired by Iraq, this was the first time they came out to perform a mission. On this submarine, there were also some Soviets.
The Oscar 2 class did not carry cruise missiles, but only advanced torpedoes. They came this time to protect their formation.Along the way, they have rehearsed attacks on the Perry-class ship several times. If war breaks out now, the Perry-class ship, which is dead or alive, will immediately go to God.
This anti-submarine exercise is also a confrontation exercise against our own submarine, to see if it can slip away quietly in our own search.
Although the Hyundai class is mainly designed for air defense and anti-ship, its anti-submarine capability is still outstanding, and it carries two anti-submarine helicopters.
