Chapter 192: One Thing Descends One Thing
Of course, it's not all good news. Let's be honest, the Iranians could get 54 Immortals in five days, as well as 20 AG-9 fire control radars, and enough parts to fix most of their F-14 Panda fighters.
These data are just out of my mouth and into your ears, and after leaving this horse farm, there is no substantial evidence. The Iranians will definitely launch a counteroffensive in a week's time, and I will give you a reminder so that the warriors of your country will not be caught off guard on the battlefield and lost in vain.
The AIM-54 'Immortal Bird' is too heavy for most of your country's current fighter jets, and their nose radar bay cannot accommodate the AG-9, a long-range guidance radar with high power. After all, this missile is currently only available in the US Navy with the F-14.
Therefore, you need technicians to help you temporarily modify some MiG-25 interceptors and even H-6 bombers to serve as temporary launch platforms for immortal birds - rest assured, you don't need to consider the stability and long-term combat performance of these temporary platforms. They are only used as cold arrows beyond the distance when the Iranians are confident and undefended to counterattack, and they are used as a one-time thing.
The Iranians get 9, in terms of range and guidance tracking range, will be manipulated and cut. And what your country will get will be an enhanced version of the radar transmitting power and an extended range, which is specially used to counter those Iranian goods. President Reagan also hopes that the batch of things he has forced to send to the Iranians will be consumed as soon as possible, and no physical evidence will be left behind. You should be able to understand that. β
Gu Biao took a breath and first mentioned the good news and bad news that were urgent in the military, and the outline.
General Hussein was really surprised, and then his expression was solemn and serious, and he slowly digested it.
The AIM-54 "Immortal Bird" is currently the most advanced long-range heavy air-to-air missile in service with the US Navy.
Anyone with a little military common sense knows that the heavier the object, the worse its ability to withstand acceleration overload and its poor maneuverability, and it is easy for enemy planes to evade by evasive maneuvers. Far less capable of making amazing tracking moves like maggots attached to bones than those combat missiles.
In the current Iran-Iraq battlefield, the biggest combat advantage of the Iranians' existing AIM-54 is the length of the hand - this missile can track enemy aircraft from a distance of 200 kilometers and then launch. The medium-range air-to-air missiles used by Iraqi fighters have a range of only 30~60 km.
Even the Soviet-made R40 interceptor missile, which is dedicated to the MiG-25, can only reach 80 kilometers.
In other words, even if the AIM-54 is no longer accurate and has poor tracking mobility, it can at least strike first. The enemy had to be beaten for 120 kilometers in vain to climb into the range of mutual fire.
Therefore, even if only 3 Iraqi fighters were actually shot down by Iranian AIM-54s at the beginning of the war, the morale loss of the Iraqi Air Force was not small. After all, it was too embarrassing to see that I was beaten in vain and had no chance to change hands.
The Iranians just broke out too early and did not get all the "immortal birds" goods ordered during the Pahlavi dynasty, plus they killed a lot of air force technicians and lost maintenance spare parts in the process of singing the fate, so now only single-digit "immortal birds" are in combat readiness. (When Iran broke out, it only received one-third of the Pahlavi-era orders, and the remaining two-thirds were urgently detained by the United States.)
Otherwise, the Iraqi Air Force would have been finished long ago, and air supremacy in the war situation would not have been in the hands of the Iraqis.
Even now, with virtually no missiles available, the Iranians have made some hilarious feats β their F-14 bombs take off and use AG-9 fire control radars to lock onto Iraqi fighters from 200 kilometers away, but they don't immediately launch precious missiles.
Some Iraqi pilots, after receiving the signal of "high-energy warning ahead," could not get rid of their locks within a minute, and even ejected their seats and abandoned the plane and parachuted.
In other words, it was not actually shot down by a missile, but was intimidated by aiming and intimidation.
The fact that this weapon is so effective in controlling air supremacy is of course that President Hussein knows its great value.
Therefore, I heard that the Iranians will get so many big killing weapons, and Iraq can only regain its advantage by trading with Gu Biao, and completely suppress the Iranians' foreign goods.
Hussein's attention to Gu Biao has of course been raised to an extremely high height.
Hou: "Gu, you are really an old friend of the Iraqi people, and I will remember your friendship." I didn't say anything, but I accepted President Regen's proposal in its entirety, and I will talk about the rest slowly. You can rest assured that the interests of our three parties are absolutely identical in terms of 'destroying the evidence of the inventory in the hands of the Iranians'. β
Gu Biao also breathed a sigh of relief: "Then, tomorrow, you will first accept the fire control radar and avionics modification equipment, and for the rest, you can declare it immediately after the news of the operation." β
Hou: "I heard that in the international market, the price of each shot of immortal birds is 60~800,000 US dollars, and President Li Gen has helped me so much this time, I am afraid that the total cost will exceed 100 million US dollars, right? β
Gu Biao said: "One or two hundred million dollars is indeed very expensive, but compared to the international prestige of the United States, it is nothing. What's more, they just build a little more at cost. β
It is very conscientious that the production cost of the Americans' arms can be one-third of the sales price, and the bulk of the arms business is to share the cost of research and development and the cost of lobbying and sales.
The chaebol behind Li Gen secretly got these things, and the total price would not exceed 50 million US dollars, but considering that it was given away for free, it was still very face-saving.
β¦β¦
After chatting with President Hussein until late at night, Gu Biao wanted to go back to the hotel to stay, but was invited by President Hussein to stay in his palace to ensure confidentiality.
He was even assigned two beautiful maids to him.
However, Gu Biao took Mina with him, so he really only asked the maid to serve tea and water, and didn't let the maid do anything else.
Mina saw it in her eyes and was very moved.
What's more, she has been in a dreamlike state of confusion since the whole afternoon this afternoon - Gu Biao asked her to translate something, but she didn't tell her in advance, so she only found out when she told President Hussein.
Less than a month after he was separated from his brother, he has developed enough to help mediate between the president of the United States and the president of Iraq?
In the middle of the night, looking at the Iraqi royal palace beyond the limits of her imagination, lying in the gilded bedroom where even the baseboards are enamelled, Mina was simply shocked.
It's a bit like Cinderella, who has never been abroad, being transported to the Champs-ElysΓ©es in Paris, and then seeing the 12-meter-tall Christmas tree in Chanel's main store, decorated with tens of thousands of Chanel bags, perfume bottles, and small jewelry every year, that kind of shock.
The kind of visual impact that is speechless, and only the word "slot" in the heart spontaneously arises in the first millisecond.
24K krypton gold dog eyes can't stand it.
"Brother, you're too powerful, am I dreaming. Woooooooo Mina nestled there, not wanting to move a finger.
"Risk and wealth coexist, you go through the wind and rain with me, this is what you deserve. Gu Biao comforted her sister, and let her lean on her with her broad and firm chest.
"This bed is so big, I guess we can roll it together four or five times before we can get from here to there. β
Of course, it is very large, because each dormitory is customized according to the maximum standard of one man and four women, and only one man and one woman can not be big.
Gu Biao blew on his earlobe and asked, "What? Do you want to try extreme sports? Aren't you afraid of being crushed?"
Mina was soft and charming: "People want to hurt my brother the most, and only when it hurts can it feel real." Hurry up and press me to see if it hurts, if you're dreaming. β
A great writer once said that a golden environment can really stimulate the potential of certain glands in the human body, especially women's.
This statement is true. Just like many old husbands and wives who are too pure to have no evil thoughts, when they go out to travel and live in a high-end hotel, they can suddenly become several times longer than usual because of the freshness.
Gu Biao and Mina experienced an all-night extreme sports rolling.
Several times, Mina really wished to die at this moment, and was crushed to death by Gu Biao, staying at the peak of her life.
Finally passed out in a coma.
β¦β¦
The next day, Gu Biao didn't get up until he was eating lunch, and then vaguely ordered the driver left for him in the palace to drive to an air base somewhere near Baghdad.
As for Mina, she stayed in the palace.
In the next few days, Gu Biao lived in this palace during his days in Iraq. And President Hussein, of course, will continue to be cunning, change places every night, and will not come here.
After being guided twice at the base and checked by the driver and guards, Gu Biao met an old friend.
"Xiao Gu, you really haven't seen each other for a long time, and you've done a great thing!" A "middle-aged man" with a big beard and a little makeup who looked like a Middle Eastern person walked over quickly and hugged Gu Biao brotherly.
"Brother Zhong,, you have a beard, I almost didn't recognize it. Gu Biao lowered his voice, and only then did he react.
It turned out that this person was Zhang Zhong, a translator of China State Construction Company.
Zhang Zhong said secretly: "Ahem, I am now Iraqi, and I want to connect with the technical support personnel sent by the Americans, and strive to install four bombers of the H-6 series on the AG-9 fire control radar and fire control computer within a week.
Not to mention, this batch of American goods is really advanced. I have heard that the processor built in the original 'Immortal Bird' missile is Intel 8080 chip, and now it has been upgraded to 8086, this batch of goods must be special!"
As he spoke, he pointed to a few Americans watching in the distance.
"Isn't the MiG-25 playing?" asked Gu Biao in a low voice.
Zhang Zhong: "There is no drama for the time being, there is not enough redundant space, although the Cassegrain antenna aperture of the MiG-25 'Whirlwind A' radar is more than 1 meter, which is slightly larger than the size and weight of the AG-9, but it is not enough to temporarily plug the control system." If there is two months, it may be a bit of a joke to dismantle the entire avionics of the MiG's fire control part and replace it.
The MiG-R missile weighs about the same as the 'Immortal Bird', and the pylons can be used with a slight modification - if there are two months, it should be possible to come up with a plan. Obediently, the Americans and the Soviets are really domineering, and the air-to-air missiles can weigh more than 1,000 pounds!
The people secretly sent by the equipment station this time are really eye-opening, and if you think about it, in our country, air-to-air missiles are only a few tens of kilograms and less than 30 kilometers. Even a land-based imitation SAM-6 anti-aircraft missile is so heavy! Everyone launches it from an airplane is so heavy!"
