Chapter 525: Qusay wants to buy Soviet weapons in large quantities

readx;

Of course, Qusay heard about this incident, and he heard it in detail, and he said: "You mean that your air force shot down a South Korean Airlines passenger plane, right?" ”

"It wasn't a Korean Airlines airliner that we shot down at all! It's all the work of the CIA, it's an electronic reconnaissance plane disguised as a passenger plane! Referring to this, Barkovsky said angrily: "However, the Yankees did it very secretly, we did not seize favorable evidence, so that they made a lot of hype around the world, and our Soviet Aerospace Forces did nothing wrong at all!" ”

"Really?" Surprised, Qusay asked, "The Yankees have gone crazy and come up with such an idea!" This should be condemned by the international community! ”

"Yes, but we can't find evidence now, I heard that a cargo ship in your country has caught a survivor of this plane, if this person is handed over to our Soviet Union, we can expose the Americans' conspiracy internationally!" Barkovsky said that he had already explained everything, and it was up to him to see how the other party answered.

"Really? I have not received such a report, and if there really is, I will definitely hand him over to the USSR! The Soviet Union and Iraq have always had a very deep friendship, and Soviet experts can be seen on our air bases and on our tank production lines. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 "We in Iraq attach great importance to our relations with the Soviet Union, and we can deepen our friendship and bring our cooperation to a new level," Qusay said.≦≧ ≦≧”

"Yes, we have a deep friendship with each other, and if we can continue to cooperate with each other, it will be of great benefit to both of us, and this is an opportunity, as long as this person is handed over to us in the Soviet Union..." Barkovsky did not know what the idea was in the mind of this Lord Kusay, and he had to go along with it.

"Our war with Iran has entered a new phase, but we are still relatively short of weapons. So, I wanted to import another batch of weapons from the USSR. "I believe that the arrival of these weapons will help us strike Iran more favorably," Qusay said. ”

His Excellency Qusay finally wants to import weapons from the USSR again? Barkovsky was happy that Iraq was originally a traditional exporter of Soviet weapons, but since Qusay entered the Iraqi political arena, it has gradually become Westernized, buying a large number of weapons from the West. Opposite. But not interested in Soviet weapons. This made the Soviet high-level in charge of arms exports somewhat dissatisfied, and on several occasions expressed their willingness to the ambassador to Iraq to persuade Iraq to continue to buy Soviet weapons!

Until Gorbachev's visit to Iraq. It was only after advancing relations between the two countries that the export of weapons was taken one step further and exported to the production line of Iraqi T-72 tanks. With a part of the foreign exchange earnings, now, Qusay actually offered to buy Soviet weapons, and while Barkovsky was happy, he was also secretly speculating, Your Excellency Qusay, but he is very clear, whether the weapons he wants to buy can be exported?

Foreign arms sales of the USSR. ≦≧ is also restricted, and many weapons used by the military cannot be exported in order to avoid leaking secrets to the West, such as the T-72, and the export version has been reduced.

Barkovsky looked at His Excellency Cusay, smiled and took out a document, and took it.

Turn the first page. It is the SAM-11 and SAM-13 anti-aircraft missiles, the former is a medium- and low-altitude, medium- and short-range mobile air defense weapon system similar to the SAM-6, which mainly undertakes field air defense tasks, and the latter. It is a mobile all-weather short-range surface-to-air missile weapon system, these two missile systems. All of them were recently equipped by the Soviet Union just a few years ago, and they were exported to Iraq, and it is estimated that there will be some resistance, but the problem will not be very big.

On the second page, there is a Mi-24 helicopter gunship, the export of this helicopter is no problem at all, because the Iraqi army is already equipped with a batch of Mi-24 helicopter gunships, which has played a very good role in the battlefield between Iran and Iraq. This is a large order for the Soviet helicopter industry, and he is very happy, but, looking down, eighty of them need to be produced on the territory of Iraq, not only the airframe, but also the engine, what does this mean? Iraq still wants the production line!

Barkovsky's face began to sink, it was completely impossible, in the USSR only two helicopter factories Arsenev and Rostov were producing such helicopters, there was never a precedent for export production lines. ≦≧

Iraq, this is asking for a sky-high price!

The third page is that Qusay proposed last time, to buy Soviet mainframe computers, Iraq is ready to popularize wireless communication in major cities, a large number of data exchange needs mainframe computers to support, last time it was rejected, this time unwilling, want to bring it up again?

On the fourth page, there are 24 Su-25 attack aircraft, which have a large bomb load, and work in concert with the Mi-24, which is a magic weapon against ground forces, which can be satisfied, but looking down, Iraq asked the Soviet Union to only provide the airframe, as for avionics, Iraq needs to choose a European avionics to modify! Technical support from the USSR was needed to complete the modification. Iraq is so angry that it wants to import Soviet weapons, but it also thinks that the weapons are not good enough?

Barkovsky hardly wanted to look at it, could the Iraqi war now have a lucky person who was very useful to the Soviet Union, so he could blackmail the Soviet Union like this?

Fortunately, the document was not very thick, and he finally turned to the last page, but, when he saw the words on it, he felt like vomiting blood, and it was written that 23 surface-to-surface tactical missiles, Iraq meant, is to use this missile to replace the backward Scud missile!

"We have always had friendly relations with the Soviet Union, and this time we spent a lot of money to import these things from the Soviet Union, which is also a big income for the Soviet Union. ≦≧" Qusay said casually, looking at Barkovsky's expression.

You look very generous, you know, this agreement, if Barkovsky reports back, the Moscow top brass will not withdraw him immediately?

Kusai looked at the change in the expression of the person in front of him, and there was a sense of complacency in his heart.

This agreement was come up with a lot of brains by him, and since he has decided to get back the benefits from the Soviet Union, then he must salvage a sum of money. What good things did the USSR have? What do you lack? Qusay knows it perfectly.

Now his air force has begun to gradually equip the Mirage 4000 and F20 fighters, the two are matched on high ground to complete the task of seizing air supremacy and ground bombing, but he still lacks the main front-line ground support aircraft, the F-20 bomb load is insufficient, and the Mirage 4000 is too valuable. And the Chinese Flying Leopard is still a long way from equipping the troops. Therefore, it is very important to import Su-25, a solid front-line ground attack aircraft. Similarly, the Mi-24 helicopter gunship also has a great advantage in ground support. Although Qusay prefers Western helicopter gunships, such as the American Apache, however, the United States will never export this helicopter to Iraq, in contrast, the Mi-24 has been widely equipped in the Iraqi forces, has accumulated a lot of experience in use, and continues to equip this helicopter gunship. ≦≧ is also a good choice. The Su-25's backward fire control system is intolerable to Qusay, and it is also necessary to load electronic equipment so that this attack aircraft can also be integrated into the C3I system that Iraq has begun to build throughout the country.

And the production line of the Mi-24 is only used for bargaining. Qusay knows very well that it will be very difficult to get a production line for such a helicopter, and if he can get it, it will be the most suitable. Now produce it yourself first and wait until the collapse of the USSR. Recruit people from this design bureau, and in Iraq, they have their own helicopter research and development capabilities. If not, then we should continue to equip such helicopters, expand the proportion of armed helicopters in the army units, and let the army plug in the iron wings of flight, which will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the army.

The SAM-11 and SAM-13 are two field anti-aircraft missiles and mainframe computers, taking this opportunity, Qusay must take them, and the SAM-11 can be regarded as an upgraded version of the SAM-6, which has the same role as the "SAM-6", but the Xing energy and power are much stronger than the "SAM-6".

Sam-13, shè range 500-5000 meters, shè height 25-3500 m, mainly attack fighters and helicopters.

At present, Iraq has only a few anti-aircraft missiles, mainly deployed in major cities, and there are very few accompanying the field troops, which is very disadvantageous, so Qusay is determined to introduce these two kinds of anti-aircraft missiles to improve the air defense capability of the troops, although now Iran's air force is almost defeated, but in the future, they will face more threats, such as the United States.

What's more, there is also a derivative of the SAM-11 missile, the SA-N-7 system of the Navy type, which uses the same 9M38M1/9M39M1 missiles with the same single-stage solid rocket engine, which is used on warships such as Hyundai-class missile destroyers.

With the construction of the C3I system, the demand for mainframe computers is becoming more and more urgent, and this kind of computer is also necessary to take this opportunity.

And the last 23 missiles, the SS-23 "Spider" missile. It began to be developed in 1977, officially produced in 1979, and equipped the troops in 1980. Thanks to the use of advanced solid-fuel rocket engines, the length of the missile is only 7.5 meters, which is 3.6 meters shorter than that of the 'Scud' missile, while the maximum range has been increased from 300 kilometers to 500 kilometers, and the use of advanced inertial guidance technology has reduced the circumferential deviation to less than 350 meters.

The Soviet Union used SS-23 missiles to equip the campaign and tactical rocket brigades of the group army, replacing the original equipment of the 'Scud' missiles, which were not only used to strike at tactical targets on the battlefield, but also used to strike at targets in depth in the campaign range, and more importantly, compared to the Scud, this is a solid-fuel rocket, Iraq's nuclear weapons, which need to have carriers, in terms of ballistic missiles, it is still a blank, no matter how thick-skinned Qusai is, he is embarrassed to write a big guy like SS-20, so he has to start with SS-23!

In his heart, Qusay was very interested in those Soviet ICBMs, but those things could never be bought or stolen, so he had to start slowly from the current ones. What's more, he also has cruise missiles in constant development.

Barkovsky's face was very embarrassed, and he said: "Your Excellency Qusay, these agreements are very difficult for us to implement, and they involve many military secrets of our country, which cannot be exported. ”

At this time, Barkovsky preferred to be an ambassador to a small Eastern European country, where the attitude of the Soviet ambassador was very tough, and where it was like here, he had to beg the other side dryly.

Relying on himself to catch a key person, he came to blackmail the other party, and Qusay knew that although he did this, he must not show it, if he provoked the Soviet Union, his own son would not be happy, so he must be polite to the person in front of him. Let him stand on his own side and persuade the Soviet top brass to export these weapons!

"Mr. Ambassador, as I said just now, there is a very deep friendship between Iraq and the Soviet Union, so I have made up my mind to buy these billions of dollars worth of goods from the Soviet Union, which is also a great opportunity for your country, as far as I have heard, your country's General Secretary Andropov is a very pragmatic leader, he is actively developing your country's economy, and if these Iraqi funds can flow into the Soviet Union, it will be of great help to the construction of the Soviet Union now. It also deepened the relationship between the two sides. And you, because you promoted this transaction, will get a good impression in the hearts of the leaders. "As you know, I have a very good relationship with your country's Minister of Agriculture, Mikhail Gorbachev, and I can also submit this deal to your country's top officials through him, but when the time comes, you will have no credit." ”

The scales in Barkovsky's brain began to tilt in favor of Iraq, however, his mind was still clear: "Your Excellency Qusay, some of these projects, I can actively apply to the country, however, some of them, really nothing can be done. ”

There's a play! Qusay asked, "What projects can we work on?" ”

"The problem of exporting two types of air defense missiles will not be very big, Su-25 attack aircraft and Mi-24 helicopters can only export complete aircraft, large computers and ballistic missiles, which is very difficult, especially ballistic missiles, which are in violation of the international missile export agreement, and missiles with a range of more than 300 kilometers cannot be exported." Barkovsky said. To be continued
