533 The Iran-Iraq battlefield is our weapons combat testing platform
"It is impossible for the United States to start a war with the Soviet Union. Moreover, in the event of a war, it will be a world war, which may escalate to a nuclear war, and the United States cannot afford such an outcome, the same as the USSR. At best, they can only engage in an arms race, and it is impossible to start a war. If there was to be a war, in the Gorbachev era, there would have been a full-scale war in the Cuban nuclear crisis......" Liu Yijiu continued to analyze the situation.
From the perspective of a person who has come before, talking about what happened in history, even if you can't say it in an affirmative tone, can make the audience feel that this is what happened.
His words made the bigwigs nod their heads.
"Both countries are desperately trying to develop advanced and powerful weapons and equipment, and at this time, if you want to scare each other, you have to show your strength and show your muscles to each other. Our tanks would have had consequences for the USSR that they could not afford. If they don't pull back this sentence, they will no longer be able to export on a large scale and make their union republics feel safe! Therefore, they will upgrade the T72 in a targeted manner. ”
"It's inevitable." Long Yaohua and Li Yunlong are both military bosses, and if China's large-scale weapons and equipment are destroyed effortlessly by the weapons and equipment of hostile forces, the Chinese military will have the same attitude.
It will even be better than the USSR.
This time, it was because the Long Weiyi and that kind of anti-aircraft missiles showed very strong performance, which could effectively strike at the advanced Soviet tanks and form a strong deterrent against the fighters that the Soviet Union was massively equipped, that the military top brass was furious.
"Americans aren't going to sit on the sidelines. It was impossible to restore relations with Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, and the Soviets needed warm water ports, and the Soviets coveted Iran's geographical location, and after occupying all of Afghanistan, the Soviets had their eyes on Iran and Pakistan. Pakistan is inferior to Iran. As soon as the hand of the USSR reached into Iran, it would not only give them a better strategic location. At the same time, they are also able to touch the oil wealth of the Middle East. Dominating the Persian Gulf and Smoothing Out the Strategic Superiority of the United States in the Middle East......" Liu Yijiu's analysis comes from the analysis of many military strategists in history.
The Iran-Iraq War lasted for eight years, and the two countries went from being economically powerful countries to being heavily indebted, and finally one was beaten into a mess by the United States. One was sanctioned all over the world.
China no longer has a military power.
Saudi Arabia's powerful oil wealth was eventually played with by the Americans.
"You mean, in the later stages of the Iran-Iraq war, it will become a proxy war? If so, what are we going to do? Long Yaohua keenly grasped the loopholes in Liu Yijiu's words.
Liu Yijiu smiled slightly, he deliberately left this loophole.
I'm not afraid that these bigwigs are interested, I'm afraid that they won't be interested.
As long as Long Yaohua is persuaded and Li Yunlong is convinced, they will help the Ninth Academy to persuade the entire Ministry of National Defense. Then the Ministry of Defense will convince the entire top of the country under the pretext of national security, the improvement of the level of defense technology.
"It's not a proxy war, but a platform for the Iran-Iraq battlefield to become a showcase for advanced weapons for major powers! As everyone knows, before the Iran-Iraq war began, all countries in the world were exporting advanced and powerful weapons to these two countries. Most of Iran's advanced equipment comes from the United States and Western countries, while Iraq comes from the Soviet Union and anti-aircraft missiles. Advanced fighter jets, advanced helicopter gunships. Tanks, even artillery, etc., ......," Liu Yijiu said, pausing here.
He thought about the weapons and equipment in the Iran-Iraq war in the historical records, Iraq's J-7B, which was purchased from China in the middle and late stages, and China's tanks were also bought after 82 years, while Iran's HQ-2 anti-aircraft missiles and other weapons and equipment were also bought back in the later period.
Both countries lost a lot of weapons and equipment in the early days of the war.
Fight low-level wars with high-tech weapons and equipment. This is a true portrayal of the Iran-Iraq war.
In the end, when there was no money, it had to import weapons and equipment from China, made in China, cheap, and durable.
"This war. It will be a platform for the display of weapons of various countries. Liu Yijiu once again emphasized this point. Of course, this war is not just about which country's weapons and equipment are better, but also about which country's weapons and equipment are not only good in performance, but also simple in operation. Whether it is Iraq or Iran, the quality of the soldiers is not high, especially the cultural knowledge ......"
Liu Yijiu said this, and immediately smiled.
Countries in the Middle East do not have the talent to be soldiers, just as African countries do not.
In the back, even Saudi Arabia, which has a strong economy, can be knocked out with rockets by a group of militants carrying AKs in armored vehicles!
"So, all of your weapons are operating in a simple direction? Advanced technology, simple operation, and more to the computer to deal with? Long Yaohua was surprised.
The weapons and equipment studied by Liu Yijiu and others are all concentrated in a lot of high technology.
And these high-tech equipment, the operation is not too complicated.
It's just that the requirements for logistical support have been correspondingly much higher, and the military now has a headache for the upgrading of the logistical support system. Maintenance personnel or something, without a lot of training and have a high level of education, simply can't play.
Related technologies such as computers must understand the principle in order to troubleshoot, which at least requires computer science majors or something, which makes the military very headache.
There is also a hydraulic suspension system or something, ordinary logistics maintenance support soldiers can't play it at all.
It's a lot simpler.
Just train the soldiers and let them know which button to press when.
The top echelons of the military would never have imagined that the later it gets, the more important logistical support will be, and that advanced weaponry is a combination of all kinds of high technology, and the requirements for logistical support are greater than they imagined.
Rather than waiting for the rise of the military's military and technological power to find out, it is better to spur the military bosses to consider these issues now.
High-quality military personnel are a powerful guarantee for the army's combat effectiveness.
If Liu Yijiu takes the initiative to put it forward, not to mention the military, even the whole country will oppose it, how many college students does the country only train in a year? Even the most basic economic construction cannot be guaranteed, so naturally it is impossible to provide it to the troops, right?
It will take more than 10 years for the military to train national defense students in the training of universities.
"That's true. Otherwise. How can the Iranian army's poorly equipped armored corps use our tanks to take out the powerful T72? If they don't simplify their operations and don't work equipment, why should they use our missiles to take out the fast MiG-23? Liu Yijiu said this, his head raised, and his eyebrows raised. The corners of his mouth curled up.
The whole person looks extremely arrogant.
"Old Long, don't talk nonsense with him, this time you will deviate from the topic......" Seeing Liu Yijiu's expression, Li Yunlong was angry.
His son-in-law was not afraid of him at all.
This made Comrade Li, who was extremely powerful, very faceless.
Long Yaohua was stunned.
It seems to be really off topic, and it's a bit far away.
"Chief, you see it's almost time, why don't we go to dinner first?" Wang Shunyi laughed in his heart. But his face didn't show it at all.
secretly gave Liu Yijiu a thumbs up.
They feared that the military would interfere with their projects, and at the same time let them give priority to the military who were poor and had almost no pants to wear. It is conceivable that the military will be in arrears once it makes this request......
The lunch meal was very rich, and the base provided different dishes for technicians and ordinary staff. Technical R&D personnel can open a small stove, while the rest of the management personnel and production workers in the workshop do not have such treatment.
This was deliberately made in the base in order to highlight the role of technical personnel.
In other places, the role of technical personnel is not as prominent as that of management cadres, but in the Ninth Academy, it is different. Management cadres are in the service of technology research and development.
Regarding the new regulations, Li Yunlong and a group of military personnel were very dissatisfied. Long Yaohua didn't say anything.
The Ninth Courtyard is different from other places in every way.
They did not know that in a few years, there would be a country in China that was not as good as selling tea and eggs. It is precisely because of the emergence of such values that the progress of the scientific and technological development of the republic has been slow.
Chinese scientists simply do not have the treatment of those senior scientific researchers abroad.
Liu Yijiu wants to fundamentally change.
He can't change the country, but he can change the one-third of an acre of land under his control.
This policy came after a huge order was signed with the Iranians. What the base turned out to look like. Everyone understands what the situation is now, and without the technicians working around the clock, everyone at the base will still be the same as they were.
"You're going to be embarrassing to the managers!" was discussed by his subordinates, and Li Yunlong had to put forward his opinion.
"You bigwigs are bored all day. With this time, it is better to study how to improve the level of science and technology for national defense. What Li Yunlong said to the people behind Long Yaohua, Liu Yijiu naturally heard it, and said without giving face, "This has nothing to do with your penny." In addition, these are voted on by the entire base. Researchers are precious, and when we build new houses on our side, they will be the first ones. In addition, there are very few management cadres in our base who do not understand technology. Most of those who don't understand technology are mobilized to civilian units outside. ”
Liu Yijiu's words embarrassed a crowd.
He doesn't care if he offends people now.
"How do you talk, you boy! Isn't it just to remind you to pay attention to uniting everyone, if the management personnel and technical personnel are not in unison, the results of the Ninth Academy will be gone......" Li Yunlong heard Liu Yijiu's words, and he couldn't wait to slap him in the face, so that he could no longer speak.
"It's a fact. Science and technology are the primary productive forces, what the old man said. And our primary productive force has fully demonstrated its value. Liu Yijiu pouted and said, "Managers, who are originally serving scientific research and production, should not forget their responsibilities because of their status and high rank!" ”
"Alright, let's take us to your technical research department. Tell us more about your R&D achievements. In the last technology showcase, you didn't cover a lot of things in detail. Especially the upgrade of the Longwei type, anti-aircraft missiles and other aspects......" Long Yaohua was speechless.
Liu Yijiu, this kid is like a hedgehog in danger, and he always looks like he will catch and bite whom.
I don't know where he got so much hatred.
took the military bigwigs into the chariot factory in the fifth district, as for secrecy or something, Liu Yijiu believed in the political consciousness of the people brought by Long Yaohua and Li Yunlong.
"Exported to the Longwei type, there is no air defense module and anti-armor module, the first is the cost, and the second is that the anti-armor missile is a waste for tanks equipped with shell-piercing shells. In fact, there is no contradiction between the two at all. Under normal circumstances, the range of the shell-piercing projectile can only play a role within two kilometers, but we have added a propellant when the shell-piercing projectile is removed, which can increase the range of the armor-piercing projectile by 500~800 meters compared with the ordinary armor-piercing projectile of the same type. Equipped with an anti-armor missile with a tandem warhead, the range can reach 7.2 kilometers, infrared guidance and radio guidance, the tool distance is long, and it is also more flexible...... "Liu Yijiu pointed to a tank made in the base with an anti-aircraft and anti-armor module.
This tank is no different from the Ryo-One, except that a rectangular box is added to each side of the turret. And behind the turret commander's conning tower, a 2×2 missile launcher was installed.
Anti-armor missiles on both sides, and anti-aircraft missiles in the rear part of the turret.
Something like this makes the whole tank look a little awkward.
"Doesn't this increase the height of the tank? If these missiles are hit by artillery shells or heavy machine gun bullets......" a military bigwig asked with a frown.
This is a huge problem.
"As long as they are not directly hit by heavy aerial bombs of more than 250 kilograms, these missiles will not explode. The shell of the launch rack is equipped with a special material...... "Liu Yijiu did not introduce that graphene protection is installed on the outside of the launch frame.
There is no need to explain the technical issues too clearly to the bigwigs.
If it weren't for the fact that the tank turret was too long, they wouldn't have loaded the missile on top of the turret.
Compared to the fire support platforms of later generations, this thing is like a four-like.
"Will you also send this improved model to the battlefield in Iran for actual combat testing?" Long Yaohua suddenly gritted his teeth and asked.
"If the Iranians ask for it, we will provide them with a batch, but the number will certainly not be too much. Even if they don't ask for it, we will recommend them to use it. Anyway, this thing is simple, as long as the small radars on both sides of the tank turret detect the opponent's tank, enter the coordinates given by the computer, and then press the launch button. How convenient! Liu Yijiu replied indifferently.
Only weapons and equipment that have shown good performance on the battlefield can know whether the design has been successful or not. (To be continued......)
