() Tu-22M is a twin-engine variable-swept wing supersonic bomber developed by the Tupolev Design Bureau of the former Soviet Union, nicknamed "Backfire" by NATO, with nuclear strike, conventional strike and anti-ship capabilities, and can penetrate defense at low altitudes, and it also has a nickname "Aircraft Carrier Killer"

This is the best bomber that Russia has that has passed the test of time, and the only country that Russia has exported is India, but India has only bought three export models, which means that most of the Chinese technology is actually kept by Russia in its own hands

This kind of bomber with a combat radius of 1,500 kilometers is enough to cover the entire Middle East, and even most countries in Eastern Europe, having this kind of bomber means that you can bomb other people's capitals from a long distance, and of course you have to be able to enter, but in any case, this is a huge deterrent

The Russians were still very interesting, although they did not export the technology, they gave Basra the original picture - much stronger than the three unlucky ones in India, almost completely technical, and the Russians also provided a full set of technical maintenance

There is no way, Canglong buys too much, otherwise even a military alliance Russia will not be able to sell this bomber easily, if Basra has nuclear weapons, then this bomber can immediately be transformed into a strategic bomber, the so-called war bomber and bomber The only difference is that strategic bombers can be loaded with nuclear weapons

As for nuclear weapons, Canglong didn't want to do it, mainly because he had no technology and no money to study them, and even Russia could not provide technical experts on nuclear weapons to Basra, and secondly, because the Americans were very taboo about this, and once Basra developed nuclear weapons, wouldn't it give the Americans a chance to fight you?

Before Saddam Hussein could develop it, he was beaten out of power by the Americans, and finally hanged as the leader, Canglong would not be so stupid

Therefore, nuclear weapons are a deterrent, but they are also a trouble, and for Canglong, its negative effects are much higher than the value they bring

Therefore, nuclear weapons are not as good as missile forces for Canglong, Canglong expanded the missile force, and the missile forces in Basra were all air defense in the past, and the real missile force should have attack capabilities, so Canglong purchased medium-range surface-to-surface missiles this time

This is Russia's latest medium-range surface-to-surface missile specially developed for the S-300, which is different from what most people imagine - the 300 and the more advanced S-can actually be used for ground attack, so this time Canglong only purchased ground-to-ground missiles, and did not need to purchase other vehicles

A set of S-300 missiles consists of three vehicles: radar vehicle, hair vehicle, and communication vehicle, which form a missile position

Of course, radar vehicles and communication vehicles can be hidden, and only the shè car needs to appear in wartime, which also greatly reduces the risk of this missile, and people with almost a little common sense know that the best way to deal with missiles is not a missile defense system, but to take the initiative to destroy your radar vehicle and communication vehicle

As long as these two vehicles are destroyed, it is impossible for the missile to be released, because the missile needs the target lock of the radar and the signal vehicle's signal button, and the communication vehicle can also be called a command vehicle

This time, Russia also provided technology exports for this missile, which means that in the future, Basra's missile factories can produce both ground-to-air missiles

But before that, Canglong bought a large number of 1,200 missiles from the Russian stockpile, because he was forced to be in a hurry

The equipment of field divisions is not mentioned, because field divisions are no longer the forces that need to be massively strengthened now, and the role of missile forces and air forces in modern warfare is especially important

With these things, Canglong finally settled down, and now he only needs to wait for the Russians to transport the things, this time Canglong paid in advance, and it was all paid to repay the Russians for their efforts

To use Nikolav as an example, the Russian side was very happy after receiving this order and getting the money, and now all factories are rushing to manufacture and even delay the arms that other countries need to buy, and make every effort to produce the armaments that Basra needs

"When will the aircraft carrier arrive," Canglong suddenly asked

In the face of this question, Nikolav's expression froze a little, and last time they had already talked about this issue, if Canglong didn't mention it, he himself would have forgotten about it, but the news of the launch of the Russian aircraft carrier has been known to the whole world, and now sea trials have begun, and according to the previous agreement, this aircraft carrier should come to Basra for a ride

But the Russians have not moved so far, which makes Canglong very unhappy, Nikolav also knows that he will not be able to give an accurate answer, and finally can only say: "In a month, in a month, Peter the Great will definitely visit Basra and stop here for a while."

"You may have guessed what I need this aircraft carrier of yours to do here, and now that Basra is on its back, Kuwait is stupid and Iran is going to fight with me, as long as you can support it, even if it is a demonstration, both countries will have to weigh it," Canglong said

"Kuwait," Nikolav said, "Kuwait is a neutral country, and it cannot violate the agreement and take the initiative to attack other countries, even Basra, without being invaded."

"Don't play this kind of trick with me, don't you know that the so-called agreement is only for the weak, Kuwait now has the Americans instigating the timid king, with the support of the Americans, it will definitely attack us, not to mention that there is another possibility zhōng yāngzhèng fǔ if I don't withdraw from Khuzestan and ask Kuwait to send troops" Canglong said worriedly: "In this way, the king will tease us a few times if he has no guts, I am not a lady on the street, if you want to flirt with sāo, you will tease sāo"

Nikolav was silent, he knew that what Canglong said meant that Canglong would not be soft on any country or force that violated Basra, and now it was time for them to express their position, and to get the aircraft carrier over is to ask Russia to contain the United States, as long as the United States is contained, so that the Americans have no possibility of making a move, Iran and Kuwait are just paper tigers in Canglong's eyes

"I need to report your intentions to the Ministry of Defense, and only the president has the authority to give this order," Nikolav said

"I hope you can do it as soon as possible, if the Americans do it to me, you won't have any good fruit to eat," Canglong said coldly

Kuwait is really nothing in his eyes, but he is afraid of provoking the Americans, and the United States will act on him as soon as they are annoyed, and now they do not have the strength to face the American army

In Kuwait, the US military has three bases, the most threatening of which are the Jabror Air Base and the Doha Barracks, of which the Jabror Air Force is only 75 kilometers away from Basra, and is home to about 1,500 US Joint Task Force in Southwest Asia, composed of the 332nd Expeditionary Group and the 4406th Combat Group of the US Air Force, and more than 400 combat planes such as F-15, F-16, A-10, and "Apache" attack helicopters

The Doha Barracks, located northwest of Kuwait City, closer to the Basra border, is only 60 kilometers away, and is home to the Zhōng Yāng Command, the Kuwaiti US Army Command, and the Kuwaiti Joint Task Force, which is the core base and logistics support center of the US Army in the Middle East, and has stored more than 300 1A1 tanks, more than 400 "Bradley" combat vehicles, and some armored personnel carriers, rocket artillery, howitzers, and other land combat equipment, and is a forward base for launching a ground offensive against Iraq

In the face of the Americans' fierce eye in Kuwait, Canglong may be destroyed as long as he makes a mistake, but in the current situation, he must find a bodyguard, the Russians deserve it, as long as the Russian aircraft carrier enters the port of Basra, even if there is no threat, Canglong dares to start a war against Iran and Kuwait at the same time

Nikolav nodded, and finally knew why Canglong wanted to buy so many armaments, in fact, it was also lacking in confidence, the war was not based on personal strength, if it was just to assassinate someone or single-handedly Canglong, of course, he would not be afraid, and now in the face of clustered US troops, people can kill you with just one missile, no matter how strong your personal strength is

"Allow me to ask one last question," Nikolav said suddenly

"Say" Canglong has a posture of saying something quickly, farting and going back to report the situation as soon as it is finished

"I really can't understand that you are working with us and leaving your country aside," Nikolav said

Canglong was stunned for a moment, and a smile suddenly appeared on his solemn face: "If it is asked on behalf of you personally, then I can tell you my personal answer, I am loyal to my motherland, not a politician, if you ask this question on behalf of Russia, then I can also give you a satisfactory answer, I will not do anything that harms the interests of the motherland, and I will not do anything that harms your interests when I cooperate with you, are you satisfied?"

Nikolav was stunned for a moment, nodded, and then left in a hurry without saying anything, in fact, the Russians were still worried that Canglong would leak the technology to China, so they also maintained some caution in cooperation, but the answer given by Canglong dispelled Nikolav's doubts

The meaning of the above paragraph is that whatever I personally do here has nothing to do with my homeland, so I will not harm your interests, at least when we are working together

And in fact, Canglong did not give the technology he got to China, if Canglong is not patriotic, he also admitted, but his own explanation is that the time is not yet ripe, not to mention that he is not very trusting in the face of multi-technology, and in the past, he was also a hot face and a cold ass

He is loyal to his homeland, but he is not loyal to some politicians who only care about profits, and he stuffs technology into the past, at most it is only for some politicians, but those politicians can tell the Russians all these things, and in the end he will lose the Russians, the biggest partner

There is almost no doubt about this, because there are too many people in the country who want to kill him, and once he loses the support of Russia, no matter how great his ability is, he will not be able to hold Basra up, and his ultimate goal will not be achieved

He had put so much effort and so much money into it, mainly to deal with that bigger enemy, it was the first all-or-nothing decision he had ever made in his life, and it would be the last, and it would all be over, whether it was made or not

So he can't afford to lose and can't lose
