In the Kurdish mountains of northern Iraq, at an altitude of 4,000 meters, a Predator drone is patrolling the territory. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As a new means of combat in anti-guerrilla warfare, UAVs are a kind of equipment that the US team uses more and more in conflicts, and the 'Predator' UAV stays in the air for a long time, and high-resolution optical instruments and synthetic aperture radar can ensure the all-weather capability of this UAV.
Suddenly, the drone picked up a suspicious signal and quickly relayed the captured information back to the center of the unmanned aerial system two hundred kilometers away.
Under the remote control of the ground personnel, the 'Predator' drone fired a 'Haierfa' heavy anti-tank missile at the suspicious cave that had just been discovered.
"Boom!"
The suspicious cave was immediately collapsed by a missile, and the debris that burst out of it rolled down, and when the dust and smoke cleared, there was still a shadow of the cave entrance in the same place? The drone quickly swayed its slender body and continued to look for the next suspicious place that could be used to hide anti-American guerrillas.
The scene from the discovery of the drone to the launch of the missile was really watched by the people in another cave not far away.
Faisal looked at a man in his thirties beside him with a solemn face and said, "It seems that the Americans are very determined to destroy you!" ”
The scene just now can be said to be a microcosm of the anti-guerrilla warfare of the Iraqi US military against the guerrillas like rats.
Don't you like to hide in the mountains and old forests? I'm going to fill in all the rat holes.
Although this method may not be very effective, the Iraqi US military does not want to have large casualties, so it is a helpless move to use this method.
"Death-scared Yankees!" In this cave, another Arab in his thirties pouted.
Gabr was originally going to speak, but when he heard it at this moment, he immediately smiled and echoed, "The Yankees are also advanced weapons, and without advanced weapons, those white people are the most afraid of death." ”
At this moment, the pouting man smiled a smile of satisfaction, as if Gabr's echo had pleased him.
It is said that Gabr was also a relatively important figure under Saddam, but now it is not the period when Saddam Hussein was in control of Iraq, at that time, Gabr had an 'official body', and now he is at most a guerrilla backbone, not the kind that fights a war, and belongs to the civilian position.
"Mr. Ibrahim, it's because the Yankees are afraid of death that we have to give them a little color, don't we?" Faisal said with a smile.
This Mr. Ibrahim is none other than that. It was Kadir, the father of Pakistan's nuclear bomb? Khan's assistant, in Qadir? After Khan was placed under house arrest by the Pakistani military, it was he who struggled to maintain the last vestiges of the 'underground nuclear supermarket' in Dubai.
This time I came here, it was Somalia that pulled the line from it, so that Saddam Hussein and Qadir? Khan contacts cooperation. An ambitious man who is unwilling to accept the status quo, and a 'nuclear supermarket owner' who is not afraid of heaven and earth. How will the collaboration change the world?
"Two gentlemen, let's go first, the Yankees' drone has already left." Jabr said, glancing at the sky outside through the crack in the hole blocked by stone.
Three people, plus two Ibrahim's bodyguards and five bodyguards, felt out of the hole, then plugged the rocks again, and cautiously dodged the possible reconnaissance of American planes, and walked deep into the Kurdish mountains.
...... "Yo yo...... I said Commander Li, you weren't like this before, I remember you always complained about the lack of funds, and now that the big deal is coming to your door, it doesn't seem to be very happy to listen to your tone? After Ding Huiqiang waited for Fan Qingqing to go out, he crossed his legs to the coffee table and said in a respectful manner.
Li Mo couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, and pointed at Ding Huiqiang helplessly, "Old Ding, Military Attache Ding, Comrade Colonel Ding!" I didn't seem to say that the Condor fighter could be exported, right? Moreover, do you know how long it takes for a hundred and fifteen Condor fighters to be delivered? ”
Although Li Mo believes that with the surname of the 'Divine Eagle' fighter, a country like Huaxia will definitely be willing to spend a lot of money to buy it back to equip the army, and it can be studied slowly. If nothing else, how Somalia has solved the problem of nuclear reactor radiation is invaluable.
This is different from the nuclear submarine, which is equipped with a thick lead plate to prevent nuclear radiation leakage from causing harm to the body, this is a fighter jet, and it looks so 'small', if there is no epoch-making technology, how can Somalia ensure the safety of the pilot and the weight of the aircraft?
In recent years, Huaxia has gradually reached the world's advanced level in many aspects after the introduction of imitation to the research of military industrial reform, but a power system has dragged many military enterprises in China behind, if Huaxia can master the technology of 'safe ultra-small nuclear reactor', for Huaxia, it is no less than an industrial revolution and technological take-off.
For example, when the Third OECD and the United States confronted each other in the Persian Gulf, it exported J-10 fighter jets to Somalia despite the opposition of the United States, and those fighters were all active equipment used by the Huaxia Air Force.
In addition, the export of some strategic resources such as rare earths, under the economic sanctions and trade blockade of the West, China has increased the import and export trade volume with Somalia, etc., which are all the price paid, and Ding Huiqiang frequently came to sit for a while during this time, isn't it just to be able to make Li Mo open his mouth to allow the export of the 'Divine Eagle' fighter?
Coupled with the various origins of Li Mo and Huaxia, the top level of Huaxia felt that it was very possible for Li Mo to export the 'Divine Eagle' fighter to Huaxia.
Seeing that Ding Huiqiang still looked disappreciative, Li Mo knew that this guy probably didn't have any feelings for money.
"I'll do the math for you, even if it is exported at the price I have in mind, if Huaxia purchases so many fighters at one time, it will take at least two years and nearly 50 billion US dollars." Li Mo lit a cigarette and said, then threw the cigarette case to Ding Huiqiang.
Ding Huiqiang's face changed when he heard the number of '50 billion US dollars', even if he had no concept of money, he knew how big a figure 50 billion US dollars was. Although China's foreign exchange reserves exceed $2 trillion, they are all securities, treasury bonds, and so on will the 'American uncle' who owes money allow China to transfer 50 billion yuan back to buy 'Condor' fighter jets from Somalia?
"Commander Li, I remember that is not what was written in the plan, right? It's like buying 50 aircraft from you, and then buying a production license to produce 100 aircraft domestically. And just like you said, two years, such a long time, even if it costs 50 billion, my country can get it. When Ding Huiqiang said this, he was obviously a little lacking in confidence. That's 50 billion, not 5 billion, and you must know that on the surface, China's military spending today is more than $80 billion. 50 billion accounts for more than half of the military spending, is it possible to buy planes and let two million troops drink the northwest wind?
Unless it is a special appropriation from the state treasury, such a large amount of arms procurement is not something that can be simply paid lip service. There is no money in the budget, and if we want to take out this money, we will have to reduce other budgets, and there will certainly be all kinds of entanglements of interests involved.
And that's not even counting foreign pressure and obstruction.
Li Mo shook his head slightly and said, "Hey, I'll tell you the truth, it's not just a matter of money." "Li Mo knows very well why the United States knows that the Somali 'Condor' fighter has surpassed the 'Raptor'. But they did not really make up their minds to completely destroy Somalia's industrial base, and even snatched the technology of the 'Condor' fighter jet in their hands? Is it the fear of nuclear weapons in Somalia? If that's the case, the United States is not the United States.
That's because the United States understands that with Somalia's industrial strength and financial conditions, it is impossible to equip such advanced fighters on a large scale, and although a few dozen fighters can allow Somalia to maintain its superiority in local conflicts, it cannot replace the gap between Somalia and the United States in terms of comprehensive national strength.
The 'Condor' fighter can be used as a ten, but can it be used as a hundred? You have twenty, I don't send two hundred, I send two thousand fighters, even a heap can kill you.
With advanced fighter technology but no industrial potential, Somalia is not as threatening as a country like China in the eyes of the United States.
However, once Somalia has the idea and motive to spread the technology of the 'Condor' fighter jet, the United States may take a risk.
This is also the reason why Li Mo was reluctant to open his mouth to export the 'Divine Eagle' fighter. Otherwise he will be 'Condor; Fighter technology is exported to other OECD member states and helps them set up production lines, and the state of air standoff in the Persian Gulf is believed to end soon.
Not unwillingly, but unwillingly.
Before the advent of antimatter technology, a truly epoch-making and epoch-making technology, Li Mo still had to be cautious and walk on thin ice, not daring to let the United States really make up its mind to attack Somalia itself, so that everything Li Mo is now in vain.
But can he say these words to Ding Huiqiang? A kind of 'Condor' fighter technology can make Huaxia show goodwill, and even pay a big price to win over, but when the antimatter technology is known to Huaxia, will Huaxia's attitude still be like this? It can be said that once antimatter technology is used in practice, what impact will it have on the existing scientific and technological system? At that time, Huaxia may not want to share antimatter technology from Li Mo, but to strangle Somalia as well.
Ding Huiqiang didn't know that Li Mo had thought so much for a while, and he thought that Li Mo was deliberately looking for an excuse because he was unwilling to export.
"Well, I'll think about it." Li Mo smiled bitterly in his heart, and finally had to choose to delay, "Bring this plan back with you, let them make a practical one, and give you an answer when I think clearly." ”
