Chapter 251: The Price Has to Go

At the same time, Iran's port of Bushehr is densely packed with oil storage tanks, even though the oil embargo caused by the war has made Iran's economy struggling.

However, it is impossible for a living person to suffocate urine, let alone a country.

To put it bluntly, the oil embargo is not normal trade, so let's have something abnormal, the price is cheaper, the quantity is larger, and the quality is better, so I don't believe that no one will buy it.

So after some adjustments, Iran's oil trade has not withered, but has shown a strange prosperity.

The tanks at the port of Bushehr are a testament to this, as three 100,000-ton crude oil carriers from Neutronik will arrive three days later to carry all the oil from the port.

Because of this, the Iranian troops stationed at the port of Bushehr were on great alert, especially the air force, for fear that Iraq would send fighter planes to carry out air strikes, so the surrounding airfields and air defense positions entered a state of first-class combat readiness as early as possible.

In the eyes of the Iranians, Iraq wants to launch an attack on the port of Bushehr, which is hundreds of kilometers away, except for the Air Force warplanes, which are ballistic missiles.

However, Iraq's ballistic missiles have a range of less than 300 kilometers and simply cannot reach the port of Bushehr, so the only threat is the Air Force.

As for the Navy......

The question for Iran is how Iraq's navy can have the ability to break through Iran's maritime cordon, even if their latest Type 037 ships are comparable in performance to small frigates.

However, in Iran's view, the bragging component is far greater than the actual performance, not to mention that China's naval equipment has been active in the world arms market over the years, and it does have two good records.

However, when you dig through these achievements and take a closer look at the core, you will find that the cost of these achievements is far greater than the actual technical and tactical effects.

Egypt's air defense frigate faced off against the Su-24, and the Soviet fighter plane crashed, but the real reason was not how powerful the Chinese air defense frigate was, but the failure of the Soviet fighter itself.

There is also the confrontation between the Bangladeshi submarine hunting submarine and the Indian submarine that led to the 037 big sale, and it is not that the Bangladeshi submarine hunting submarine is really bull~~ forced to explode, but the inferior quality of the Indian Navy and the unreliable ability of the military industry department finally led to India's humiliation.

If we trace these cases back to their roots and then list and analyze them, we will find that China's naval equipment is not as good as they advertise, otherwise why would the second-rate countries in Latin America and Europe not buy it? Very simply, people have long looked at the essence of China's equipment.

Iran was mixed with the United States in the early years, and its own level was not good, but its vision was very high, and it had long seen the essence of Chinese equipment, and because of this, at the moment of the 037 big sale, Iran was not moved, and of course it was disdainful of the 037 special version of Iraq.

A piece of equipment that relies on great luck and strangles you to death with all your luck, how else can you jump?

However, just when the Iranians thought it was impossible, two meteor-like points of light pierced the night sky, and immediately plunged headlong into the oil storage tank to make up for it, and with a violent explosion, it showed the Iranians that sometimes strength is not just about luck.

……

"The Iranian port of Bushehr was attacked by Iraqi missile boats!"

"Purgatory Bushehr, Iran's third-largest port, was suddenly hit. ”

"The fire came from the sea, and the Iraqi missile boats made a deadly raid. ”

"The follow-up Iranian offensive was ended, and the aftermath of the attack on the port of Bushehr. ”

Less than 48 hours after Amanda gave the order to launch the missile, reports of a raid by Iraqi general-purpose missile boats on Iran's Bushehr port spread around the world.

Although the war between Iran and Iraq has numbed most people's nerves, this attack was different because many people saw something new in it.

That's the way of attacking from sea to land.

This is the second time in the history of world warfare that missiles have been used to attack enemy ports, but unlike India during the Third Indo-Pakistani War, Iraq has obviously planned for a long time, and the missiles used have also been modified in a more targeted manner, so as to destroy most of the crude oil in the ports in one fell swoop, cut off Iran's foreign trade, and thus achieve the goal of blocking Iran's strategic offensive.

It can be said that from beginning to end, Iraq has been a big winner.

However, the eyes of the world's military observers are not only focusing on what Iraq has gained, but are deeply thinking about whether this kind of sea-to-land strike method can become the development direction of the future navy.

In particular, the US Navy is called an important one, because two years ago the BGM-109 cruise missile, called Tomahawk, had just formed its initial combat capability in the US Navy.

As a quasi-strategic weapon against the Soviet Union's intermediate-range ballistic missiles, this cruise missile, with a range of more than 2,000 kilometers, is considered by many to be the best choice for tactical nuclear weapons delivery in a nuclear war.

Even if a conventional warhead were to be used, it would be a ship-to-ship anti-ship missile, not a tactical weapon for attacking land targets.

At that time, quite a number of US naval officers proposed that the "Tomahawk" could be regularized and tactical, so that it could carry out flexible and changeable conventional strikes against land targets under limited circumstances.

However, the old men of the US Department of Defense and Congress at that time felt that it was inappropriate, and the nuclear delivery vehicle was the same as the delivery vehicle, what had changed?

As a result, the earth-shattering blow of the Iraqi Type 037 special version not only made the US Navy completely open its mind, but also made the American masters at the decision-making level let go of their so-called reserve.

Since China's missiles can paralyze ports, why can't US missiles? What's more, US missiles have a longer range, greater power, and higher accuracy, so they ...... Immediately increase the production of "Tomahawks".

The United States can complete the conversion from sea to land with its ready-made missiles, but the Soviet Union is a little embarrassed, and their naval version of the cruise missile has not yet completed the test.

Come on, let's continue to slap a swollen face and become fat, and consume it with the United States.

As for Europe, although it is very eager to keep up with this wave of the United States and the Soviet Union, but it is not enough to do it, but it can't just look at it, China's missiles are not modified with anti-ship missiles, so let's go along this road too.

So a whole bunch of land attack versions of "Exocet" and "Otto Matt" have sprung up.

However, whether it is Exocet, Otto Matt or the famous Tomahawk of later generations, at this moment it is not as famous as the C-801K on 037, there is no way, who will wipe out two-thirds of Iran's port crude oil in a war, a groundbreaking record, and a riot that leads the trend.

Meng Jianye's evaluation is just one sentence: this price has to rise!
