Chapter 821: The Nondescript Chinese "Falcon"
The M military base, 40 kilometers southeast of Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, is located on the edge of the desert, and the vast yellow sand hides it in a dusk..........
The military base set up in such an inaccessible desert of yellow sand has naturally escaped the eyes and ears of many well-intentioned people, and even a few countries with satellite reconnaissance capabilities have discovered the existence of this military base, but they also know very little about its specific purpose. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Because from the point of view of the facilities of the military base, the taste of some air bases can be analyzed from the dense barracks around it, and it is a bit like the barracks of the army, and not far away is like the traces of the surface of the moon, which is very similar to a military shooting range.
However, no matter how powerful the military intelligence analysts of these countries are, they cannot imagine that the M military base is not a simple training or drill site, but a special comprehensive testing ground for weapons and equipment in the hope that Iraq will dominate the Middle East and the lion of the Arab world.
The reason why even the military intelligence analysts of superpowers like the United States and the Soviet Union can't imagine it is not that their professional quality is not good, but the main reason is that the weapons test site is really nondescript, and there are many venues that should be there, but there are many advanced test equipment at all.
It's like a person who finally bought a computer, and all kinds of hardware facilities were complete, but when he turned it on, the operating system was not installed, and it was very nondescript........
You must know that since Saddam Hussein came to power, Iraq has regarded itself as the successor of Nasser (the former leader of Egypt, the advocate of pan-Arabism, and the person who intends to do so), always thinking of dominating the Middle East and unifying the Arab world.
However, no matter how much the self-created halo is added, it is just a kind of self-congratulatory behavior with a YY nature, bluffing its own people, but no one pays attention to it in the international community, and the root cause is Iraq's own strength, although as a major oil producer, petrodollars are indeed endless, but the industrial capacity that can support the backbone of a country is almost zero, relying on a lot of dollars to buy weapons and equipment is to prop up the façade of teeth and claws, but the weak cartilage inside is not worthy of the power of others' punches.
Because of this, in order to get out of this passive situation and allow Iraq to have a strong capital to dominate the Middle East, the ambitious Saddam Hussein began the industrialization process at the end of the 70s, and the military industry became the top priority in this process.
As a result, in just a few years, Iraq imported a large number of military industries and manufacturing technologies from developed countries such as Europe, the United States, and the Soviet Union, including the nuclear ~~ program project aided by France, and the "Scud" missile localization project supported by the Soviet Union..........
It's just that although Saddam's ambition is big, it is extremely difficult to realize, not to mention that Israel, the small overlord of the Middle East, is proud of one side, but the old Arab leader Egypt is still there, not to mention that there are Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey and other powerful countries around him, Saddam's ambitions were first revealed, and he was ruthlessly attacked by the Middle East powers:
First, the Iran-Iraq war, which kicked off in 1980, shrouded Iraq in a nightmare of war clouds, and then in 1982, the Israeli air task force completely buried its nuclear ~~ facilities with a textbook long-range attack, and at the same time, the "Operation Babylon" will forever be recorded in history;
Subsequently, Iran launched the Battle of Khoram Shahr in succession, and Tehran's air offensive and defensive battles not only took away the initiative on the battlefield from Iraq, but also spread the war to Iraq itself without hindrance, so that Iraq had to concentrate all available resources into the confrontation with Iran, so a large number of fruitful projects were forced to be suspended, including this M military base, which was only equipped with hardware but did not have time to install software...........
After listening to Galitsky's introduction to the origin of the M military base, it seemed that his white face covered with a layer of frost did not have the slightest wave, even the hot and howling wind and sand did not loosen the thick ice sheet for half a minute, as if his face wanted to be a mask, and there was only one expression from beginning to end:
Cold!
"Therefore, although there is a comprehensive test site here, there is no real core of the test site, except for a few high-resolution telescopes, the rest can only use the human senses to evaluate the quality of weapons and equipment, Admiral Salah chose here, so that no one can find fault, you must know that this is the only weapons and equipment test site in Iraq, but to judge which is good and which is bad is aimed at the thoughts of these Iraqis, after all, the human body's senses are sensitive, and it cannot be compared with sophisticated testing equipment, so it is ........... ”
Galitsky said, following the direction of Butin's gaze, he looked at the Chinese "Falcon" air defense missile system that was slowly unfolding not far away, the corners of his thin mouth were slightly upturned, and under the Gobi Desert, which looked particularly strange and cold:
"Even if Chinese arrived, it was only in vain, but it's okay, with a supporting role to set off, it's better than singing a one-man show by yourself, as the so-called Chinese proverb says, safflower still has to be accompanied by green leaves, I think that's the truth.........."
"I don't think you should take it too lightly!" Before Galitsky could finish speaking, Bujing's cold voice interrupted his confident and somewhat conceited words:
"You see the speed at which their equipment is deployed, although it looks panicked, but it is not slow, and the work is even more orderly, and there is no trace of the appearance of the first arrival, from this point it can be seen that the literacy and level of this group of Chinese are not worse than ours!"
China's "Falcon" air defense missile system did not arrive in Iraq at the same time as the equipment sales delegation, but temporarily selected a batch of bidding equipment from the "Falcon" air defense missile system delivered to Saudi Arabia after receiving information from the Iraqi side that equipment tests were about to begin.
Due to the lack of help from the large military transport planes of the United States and the Soviet Union, the relevant equipment could only be used in the form of motorized rapid marches, which traveled nearly 400 kilometers in less than 48 hours, and just arrived at the M military base this morning.
The tired look of the operator can be seen, but the whole team is still in order, not at all panicked and helpless to enter an unfamiliar area, but more like a group of special forces who can deal with all emergencies..........
"You're right!"
Galitsky nodded, but there was still a cynical smile on the corner of his mouth, and his slightly gray eyes were even more shh
"China's weapons operation team is indeed very good, but it is no wonder, you must know that China has just completed a million disarmament, such as the Northeast Heavy Industry Group, an enterprise with a strong military background, it is not difficult to recruit a group of retired veterans with air defense missile operation capabilities, but the key problem is not here..........
Galitsky's slightly mocking eyes, a casual grass in China's busy position, finally fixed on the few radars that had just been deployed in the central position, raised his chin, and smiled coldly:
"You look at their radar grouping, the performance of an air defense equipment, in fact, you don't need to look at anything else, just look at their radar, in this regard, our Chinese counterparts are obviously still in the infant stage of learning, you must know that modern air defense equipment pays attention to mobility and automation, and the simpler the composition of the whole system, the more representative of its advanced capabilities,
What's more, what Iraq needs is a purely motorized air defense missile system that has both the effect of territorial air defense and the ability of field air defense; in this regard, our 'Beech' perfectly integrates the irradiation radar and missile launcher on a tracked vehicle, and the others only need a three-coordinate search radar and a communication command vehicle to carry out the needs of air defense operations.
But if you look at China's 'Falcon' again, in addition to the eye-catching vertical launch system, the radar group has reached four, plus the command and communication vehicle, the power supply support vehicle, the logistics maintenance vehicle, and so on, the whole system is so huge that it is staggering; if it is just this point, it doesn't matter if there are more radars, but you can come up with some advanced things, right? Even if you make a show, it's okay, but what about China?
It can be seen from this point that our Sam 2 has too much influence on them, and I can't wait to keep all the Sam 2 things, so just like my previous prediction, China's 'Falcon' is just a nondescript old-fashioned homeland defense equipment, and from this alone, it is far from the needs of Iraq, and because of this, I feel that the outcome of this test has been divided into ............"
