Moreover, the Su-27k already has a strong attack capability, and when carrying kh-41 anti-ship missiles, it is also a powerful strike force, so this fighter will be their main force.

Compared with the seven or eight types of fighters on the US aircraft carrier, the Iraqi aircraft carrier has fewer types of carrier-based aircraft and is also easy to maintain.The Su-25 is an excellent attack aircraft. When Iraq has sufficient air supremacy, the proportion of such aircraft can be increased.

The other item is anti-submarine. Therefore, fifteen Ka-27s are mainly used for anti-submarine, which is also a powerful force.

At this time, Iraq's early warning aircraft technology is already very advanced, so the Hawkeye early warning aircraft imported from the United States will also be improved in batches, using phased array radar antennas. (.If you like this work,.)

Chapter 82 Iraq Threat Theory

At the same time, it is absolutely impossible to have only one aircraft carrier. Only the entire aircraft carrier formation can have actual combat significance. The Iraqi side is also working hard for this. 【】

Now, Iraq already has two modern-class destroyers, one Dreadnought-class anti-submarine ship, and the other Dreadnought-class, which will also enter the Iraqi Navy in about a year.

The modern class is mainly responsible for air defense, the fearless class is responsible for anti-submarine, plus several Hedden class, and nuclear submarines, forming the Iraqi aircraft carrier lineup. However, this formation is still flawed, that is, there is no regional air defense ship to deal with saturation attacks !

This kind of warship, now it seems that the Glory class is the most suitable.

The Glorious class is a 12-ton cruiser built by the Soviet Navy to compensate for the high cost of the nuclear-powered Kirov-class cruiser. Often it is its huge two sets of anti-ship missile launch boxes lined up on both sides, inside which are the powerful SS-N-[-] anti-ship missiles, which are the nemesis of American aircraft carriers.

However, what Qu Sai likes is its anti-aircraft missile!Especially the 8 "Thunder" sa-n-6 missile launching devices above. This missile has a range of 100 kilometers and a height of 25000 meters. It has the most lacking regional air defense capability of the current Iraqi aircraft carrier formation.Moreover, this kind of missile can not only strike high-altitude and high-speed targets, but also effectively intercept low-altitude incoming targets similar to "whaling harpoons", and has strong anti-saturation attack power.

At this time, the Soviet Union was unable to build the fourth ship of the Glory class, so Gorbachev should be very happy to let Iraq buy it and provide a sum of money to the Soviet Union.

Therefore, Qu Sai's research was mainly placed on the fourth ship of the Glory class, with this warship.The aircraft carrier formation in Iraq would be perfect.

Now, the negotiation is in the final stage, I believe it will be soon, the Ukrainian ship.It will be renamed Saddam Hussein.

Only with a mature aircraft carrier formation.Then, Iraq can really have a say, at least in the Arabian Sea, it can effectively prevent the entry of American aircraft carrier formations.

as of now.It is still unrealistic to have a full-scale confrontation with the United States, especially a full-scale military confrontation. However, it is necessary to compete for hegemony in the Middle East.But it has become more and more urgent.

The presence of US troops in Israel is an absolutely bad signal. With the support of Iraq, more and more countries have begun to recognize the state of Palestine. The future war will definitely be between Israel and Palestine break out.

…………

The photos of the kh-11 keyhole satellite were sent back to the ground, the personnel of the CIA.These photos were carefully analyzed.

Let the United States see inconceivably that the Soviet Union actually used two slipways to build an aircraft carrier, but.This slipway is not on the road of continuous construction, it only built one aircraft carrier.Unlike No. [-] berth, streamlined production.

Moreover, there are more and more suspicious points on this slipway.Its bridge is so small, it is not the same as the Soviet Union.No holes were found on the deck, which means that there are no anti-ship missiles most commonly used by the Soviets below.Moreover, the construction speed is much faster than the one on the zero berth.On the day it was launched, many other irrelevant people came to the shipyard.

At the same time, another satellite discovered a scene that surprised them even more. On Qeshm Island, something similar to the deck of an aircraft carrier appeared. Its deck, the shape of the island, and the newly launched aircraft carrier Almost exactly.

More and more evidence has shown that this aircraft carrier is very strange. Its owner is probably not the Soviet Navy, but the Iraqi Navy!

The news was reported to William's desktop, and William immediately noticed the problem. He picked up the report and came to the White House.

"Your Excellency, this is our latest discovery." William said to President Bush.

Bush picked it up, and he recognized the picture above. It was a Soviet aircraft carrier, and the jump deck on it was clearly visible.

This is another product of the United States' fudge. The United States knows that if it wants to truly become a major navy, it must have an aircraft carrier. Moreover, the larger the aircraft carrier, the more reasonable it can be used.Moreover, an ammo is a must.However, in order to fool the Soviet Union, the United States has been promoting the uselessness of aircraft carriers, especially large aircraft carriers, which caused the Soviet Union to take a lot of detours.

"Isn't this the Soviet aircraft carrier? No, it's a heavy aircraft cruiser. I don't know if they have gas money. Let this heavy aircraft cruiser start?" Bush asked.

"Your Excellency, you have seen clearly that this was found on Qeshm Island," William said.

Only then did Bush realize the problem. He took a closer look and saw that this was not on the ocean, but on land. Is this Qeshm Island?

What is Iraq trying to do by arranging such a building here?Definitely not a theme park!

"What kind of building is this? Concrete? Steel?" Bush asked.

"According to our analysis, it should be made of steel. Moreover, we also analyzed that there are hydraulic cylinders under it, and the entire plane can shake." William said.

If it's made of cement, it's okay to say, but if it's made of steel, it's very suspicious, and if it can shake, there's almost no doubt about it. This is a training platform!Coupled with the fact that it appeared on Qeshm Island, it became clear what it was!

"So, this is the Iraqi aircraft carrier training platform? It's exactly the same as the Soviet one in Ukraine?" Bush asked.

Born in the Navy's carrier-based aviation unit, Bush is completely expert in military affairs. He also knows what this means. Those are Iraqis who are ready to start training their own carrier-based aviation unit. Where is their aircraft carrier?

"Yes, although up to now, we have not discovered that this system has been activated, but according to our analysis, this system is a platform built by the Iraqis themselves to train their carrier-based aviation forces." William said.

This thing is so big, and it cannot be covered, so when the Iraqi side built this building, it stated that it was impossible to hide it.This system is a simulated take-off and landing platform built by Iraq itself based on the platform of the Baghdad aircraft carrier to train its own naval carrier-based aircraft pilots.

In fact, now Iraq can rely on renting the Ukrainian platform to train its own carrier-based pilots, but in the long run, this is not a suitable choice. Although Iraq only has this aircraft carrier now, it will definitely There is more than one ship, and the reserve of talents must start now.

The training of qualified carrier-based aviation is a long process, and a complete system training process must be established. Therefore, during the sea trials of the aircraft carrier, this training center similar to that of Ukrainian Nitka was also established. In the future, Iraq will be able to train its own carrier aviation on its own land.

Now, here, the United States has noticed.

"Even if the Iraqis have this training platform, it is only a reserve of talents. There is still a long way to go before they actually have an aircraft carrier. Iraqi shipyards are simply not capable of manufacturing aircraft carriers. The world can manufacture aircraft carriers." There are not many countries with aircraft carriers, and we, the United Kingdom, will not export them to them.” Bush said, seeing this thing, intuitively, Bush had an urge to laugh, that Qusay, too whimsical Bar?He thought that an aircraft carrier was that simple?

"Your Excellency, take a look at this one again," William continued, and he handed the photo of the Black Sea Shipyard to Bush.

"This is a new aircraft carrier that was launched by the Black Sea Shipyard a few days ago. It took less than eight years for this aircraft carrier from the start of construction to its launch. This is already the fastest speed of the Soviet Union. And we noticed that the final outfitting of the second aircraft carrier on berth zero had not been completed at this time, but the construction of this aircraft carrier started two years late, but the progress was ahead of schedule."

"If it was the Soviets' own aircraft carrier, they would follow the schedule step by step. Moreover, the financial resources of the Soviet Union were simply not enough to support the construction of the aircraft carrier on the two berths." Bush concluded.

Speaking of which, Bush already knew what William wanted to express when he came this time.

"Since the last era, the Soviet Union has been very short of money, while Iraq not only has sufficient funds, but also has enough ambitions. When two warships of the Soviet Navy visited Iraq and were detained a few years ago, we Very strange, now, we can finally come to the conclusion that those two warships are purely a trick created by Iraq and the Soviet Union. As an excuse, now, the second modern-class ship has quietly joined the Iraqi Navy." William said.

I see!A few years ago, the two countries hooked up together. Speaking of this, Bush admired Kusai instead. You know, the Soviet Union always sold only low-end goods. How did Sai convince those high officials in Moscow?Carrier!Iraq asked Moscow to help them build an aircraft carrier. How did he convince the Soviet military that there was no objection?You know, eight years ago, the Soviet military was still a powerful force.

Thinking of the upcoming campaign, Bush suddenly had an idea, and a few words about the Iraqi threat popped into his mind.

Chapter 83 General Election

"The deterioration of our domestic economy is caused by the Middle East! People in the Middle East continue to reduce our national debt, which prevents us from issuing new national debt, which leads to the inability to solve the problem of our fiscal deficit, which leads to our Slow economic development has led to an increase in unemployment, all because of the problems in the Middle East!" Bush's figure appeared in front of voters on the TV.

"We want to protect our economy, so we must have a strong army to defend our country and the normal development of our economy! We station troops in the Middle East, that's it! Because, the people there have never You don’t play your cards according to common sense, there are a lot of terrorists!” Bush never prepared a speech in his speech, and he spoke eloquently.

"For example, our Lockerbie air disaster, which seriously damaged the interests of our Americans, was done by the evil country Libya. We carried out air strikes on them and punished Gaddafi in Libya. This is where our troops are stationed. The purpose! Let them know that harming the interests of our American civilians and engaging in terrorist activities means being attacked!"

"Now, an evil country has emerged in the Middle East. We have reason to believe that the uprising against us in the Middle East is conspired by this country. They have seriously damaged our interests. This country, Now, they are sparing no effort to develop their military forces. They were originally a landlocked country with only tens of kilometers of coastline in the Persian Gulf, but now they even have an aircraft carrier!"

When Bush said this, his tone became obviously serious, without the typical American humor: "We have received definite information. Now, the Soviet Union is building an aircraft carrier for Iraq. This aircraft carrier, Sea trials are going on now, and later, they will join the Iraqi Navy. We want to ask Qusay, as a landlocked country along the Persian Gulf, what exactly does their aircraft carrier want to do? It is to patrol the interior of the Persian Gulf Do you still want to hang around the coast of the United States?"

Iraq is about to have an aircraft carrier!This is earth-shattering news. Until now, no one thought that Iraq would have such big ambitions!

"Iraq's current military development has already far surpassed that of other countries in the Middle East. Iraq's continuous development of military power is a serious challenge to the order in the Middle East. They will lead to a new arms race in the Middle East and worsen the situation in the Middle East. I want to be here to seriously protest against Iraq's actions! Your military development has seriously exceeded Iraq's needs. This is a very wrong development!"

"Obviously, we did not expect that the leaders of Iraq have very strong ambitions. Iraq is a threat to the stability and order of the Middle East. After they have sufficient force, they will become more ambitious in the Middle East. It will challenge the current international order, and Iraq is already a threat to the existing international order!"

"Our current and previous efforts are all to prevent this from happening, but now, Iraq still refuses to listen to advice and is on the road of crazy military expansion. Moreover, at the instigation of Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait Other countries have gradually changed their positions towards us, which has a lot to do with the deterioration of our economy! We must solve this problem! The solution to our economic problems is not in our country, but in the Middle East!" Bush Said.

No one thought that it was not a certain American expert who concocted the Iraq threat theory, but the President of the United States, Bush!And the theory he concocted now is to find excuses for his actions in the Middle East. He took precautions and discovered the misconduct in Iraq. Now, the economic deterioration in the United States is inseparable from the Middle East. , If you continue to increase your holdings of U.S. treasury bonds, then everything will be fine. The economic problems in the United States are all caused by the malicious and secret selling of U.S. treasury bonds in the Middle East!
