619 Tangled Soviet high-tops

This battle on the battlefield between Iran and Iraq has attracted the attention of all countries in the whole world.

The final result came out, neither side took advantage, although the fight was not very good, but some neglected things, finally let many countries wake up.

The performance of the T64 was very satisfactory to the Soviets, but the poor defense of the Mi-24 angered the entire Soviet military leadership.

They didn't expect that the helicopter gunship, which had always been proud, would be beaten so powerless that it could not fight back after showing great firepower. Didn't even see the appearance of the enemy clearly!

"The Logistics Equipment Planning Committee must give a reasonable explanation for this matter. The Mi-24 is constantly being improved, why is this happening? Don't you have to think about defense? "Helicopters were assigned to the Army and used in conjunction with the Panzer Group.

Although Iraq's performance this time was very poor, and there was no atmosphere of coordinated operations at all, it was enough for the Soviets to find shortcomings in it.

As the commander-in-chief of the army, deputy minister of defense, Chuikov was furious after learning of such a result.

Even Defense Minister Ustinov had a gloomy face.

Their huge armored forces in front of the new Chinese tanks are a joke, apparently, this time the Chinese did not hand over all the bottom. They were given some unimportant technology for the Ronbos, but the Ronmes appeared on the battlefield in Iran!

It was obviously pitted by the Chinese.

"Commander-in-Chief, they can't be blamed for this. At the time of export. We did not give the Iraqis our complete configuration, and the intelligence returned through the intelligence officers showed that the anti-aircraft missiles of the other side came from China. And even the computer technology has surpassed that of the United States, and these missiles are an upgraded ......version of the "Lieri Ge" that appeared on the battlefield in Vietnam. Istanlov had to stand up and speak, "using infrared guidance and inertial guidance, with high-performance computer chips for flight attitude and target adjustment...... Chinese It is absolutely impossible to mass-produce these missiles, and there is not much ...... in Iran"

"Lierige, don't talk nonsense here, it's for our morale. It's a serious blow! The weapons and equipment that we are so proud of have been destroyed by some cheap weapons from China! You should apologize to the entire USSR! "Chuikov will never allow China to surpass the mighty Soviet Union.

Even if it's just a little!

"It's not that China has surpassed us, and at this time it is estimated that the Americans will have more headaches than us. these technologies. All with traces of the Americans, most likely the Americans have already regretted it! Lierige sighed, "And, as long as the Mi-24 is equipped with a thermal decoy bomb launcher." At the time of encountering an anti-aircraft missile guided by infrared. will give our helicopters a strong defense......"

"Really?" Even Ustinov was moved.

As long as the Mi-24 can have strong defense, they can completely ignore anything else.

The military exercises that were originally planned can be continued.

"Yes, as long as this decoy bomb is exported to Iraq, it will ......be confirmed," Lierige said through gritted teeth.

This is a big killer for their air force.

Not only helicopters can use this, but even fighter jets use this.

Once the technology is leaked, Western countries will be able to analyze it. This did not have any strong meaning for the entire USSR.

"No, we shouldn't export. Instead, we should find a way to get these anti-aircraft missiles from Iran and use them to test our defense technology...... for this high-performance missile. The USSR should have had.

Ustinov was able to stay in the position of defense minister for a long time, firstly, because he had no problem standing in line and had keen political insight, and secondly, and most importantly, because of his influence on the Soviet defense industry.

As a Minister of Defense, it is the security of the entire country that is taken into account.

The Soviet Union was established in the war, and the Soviet military industry was also developed in the flames of war.

The lessons of World War II have taught the Russians that weaponry is not enough to be too powerful. At that time, the T34, which was easy to manufacture and inexpensive to build in the Soviet Union, although its performance was not very good, but it eventually overwhelmed the Tiger of the Germans.

Therefore, Ustinov's consistent principle is that weapons are easy to make, and cheap, and the performance does not need to be the best.

Otherwise, the T72 would not have made such a huge quantity.

The T64 is advanced enough and now all confirmed. But a T64 cost more than six million dollars, and even now it is impossible to reduce the cost, while the T72 is only a million dollars. Six T72s may not be able to do one T64, but six hundred T72s will definitely be able to do a hundred T64s!

Now Chinese missiles, which are exported to Iran in large quantities, will definitely not be at a very high price, and if the USSR worked out such a technology and had cheap high-performance missiles, then ......

"We'll take care of this as soon as possible!" Sherepin sensed that there was an unsettling atmosphere in the conference room, so he rarely spoke.

The KGB's intelligence was inaccurate, which was also a very difficult thing to accept.

"In the current situation, what should we do with the military exercises that we use to deter the entire West?" Brezhnev lightly threw out a sentence.

It puts everyone's energy on this.

The military exercise, which began on 1 April, has been postponed until now, and almost five months have passed, and if there is no way to come up with a plan, there will be no need for this exercise.

It turns out that the Chinese armor-piercing technology was not supplied by the Americans.

After the reduction of the most advanced tanks of the Americans, they still cannot easily blow them up in front of the tanks of the Chinese.

"Postponement of the date of the exercise. We must practice joint operations on land, sea and air. Especially the coordinated operation of helicopters and tanks, although the Iraqis and the Iranians fought very poorly, but we can learn a lot from this...... "Ustinov is not in a hurry to conduct military exercises now.

The Iran-Iraq war, because of the unexpected appearance of China's advanced weapons, has allowed countries around the world to learn a lot from this low-level war of high-tech weapons and equipment.

There are already signs of the development of future wars.

It is not that there is no market for cheap weapons, and high-tech weapons and equipment may not necessarily be able to determine the direction of war.

"Perhaps, we should have a good conversation with the Americans about China. Once the development of China is far beyond our control, in the end, it will not be a good thing for us, as well as for them...... "Brezhnev instructed.

"General Secretary, this is not possible. Americans have always believed that a strong China is in their interests. Chinese The greater the contradiction with us, the better, the stronger the Chinese, and the more pressure from us can be shared for the West......" Sherepin hoped that the general secretary would understand the fundamental contradiction between the Soviet Union and the United States.

"Yes, our enemy is not China, and in any case, we also belong to the internal contradictions of the camp. Although they have not joined our camp, the system of their country has not changed. Perhaps, we should talk to the Chinese. Don't they want to devote themselves to economic construction? We can quite well conclude a secret agreement on a number of issues in the border areas...... "Chairman of the Council of Ministers Alexey . Nikolaevich. Kosygin was well aware of the general secretary's thoughts.

They are bent on improving relations with China, but they have not been able to find a good entry point.

After all, after Brezhnev came to power, his theory of limited sovereignty and the continuous deployment of heavy troops on the Sino-Soviet border have not eased up until now.

In 79, the two sides conducted a large-scale special operation in the Far Eastern border region.

In the end, the unknown incident was not made public, and the Soviet Union did not publicize it, except for sending personnel of the Far Eastern Military District to consult with Chinese military personnel, let alone allowing the Soviet Union to continue to increase its threat to China.

It was not that the Soviet Union was afraid of war, but that the Soviet Union did not want to fight with China, the little socialist brother, and in the end cheapened the Western camp. Perhaps more important, perhaps more important, was Brezhnev's desire to normalize relations with China, which allowed the mighty Soviet Union to endure this slump.

On the surface, it can't, but in the dark, small movements are still ongoing.

The entanglement of interests between countries is like that.

Brezhnev's heart was spoken to Kosygin's words, and everyone else was staring at him closely.

Leonid Brezhnev has been in power for 17 years, since Khrushchev was overthrown in 1964. He allowed the Soviet Union to pass on the absolute disadvantage of the United States in the face of the Cuban Missile Crisis, surpassing the United States in nuclear weapons and strategic missiles, and maintaining pressure on the United States and the entire Western countries.

Moreover, he made the economy of the Soviet Union develop at a high speed again, the defense industry grew by leaps and bounds, and the people's income grew, and he was deeply loved by the entire Soviet people.

Such a leader is the one who has fallen to the freezing point of Sino-Soviet relations.

Beginning with the Prague Spring, Brezhnev pursued his theory of limited sovereignty in socialist countries, and was dissatisfied with China, the second largest socialist country, not joining the alliance and not reunifying with the Soviet Union.

It is precisely because of this that the relationship between the two countries is getting worse and worse, will this situation change quickly now?

This is what everyone cares about.

Even Comrade Chuikov is very concerned about the general secretary's attitude toward China.

Once the general secretary thinks that he wants to improve relations with China, then no matter how tough he is on China, it will be in vain...... (To be continued.) )
