"In the current situation, we have to prove to Saudi Arabia and other countries that we will not be afraid of armed intervention by the United States and that we are capable of protecting our allies. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info{{}}89The key is that we must have this courage, and if we retreat at this time, then all our previous efforts will be in vain. "However, we have to be strategic, and this confrontation is on the one hand, and on the other hand, after we have achieved something in the confrontation, we have to sit down at the table in the end," Kusai said. We in Iraq can symbolically buy some US Treasury bonds, and at the same time, we can also invest our money in their stock market to help them bail out the market. Let the United States know that we will never give in to their force, and at the same time, we are willing to continue to maintain a good relationship with them, so that Reagan will definitely recognize the situation. Otherwise, they will only throw us into the arms of the USSR. ”
Dispatch the Hyundai-class, and Qusay has a lot of thought in it. As soon as this warship was dispatched, in addition to the powerful power of the supersonic anti-ship missile, on the other hand, it meant that Iraq could rely on the Soviet Union behind it.
This warship was forcibly seized by Iraq, the Soviet Union owed Iraq's debt, and Iraq added these two warships to its own navy. Now, Iraq is hiring some Soviets to participate in this exercise, and it is equivalent to the Soviet Navy participating in the exercise, and no matter what the Americans think in their hearts, they must recognize this.
Does the United States really dare to launch a war of aggression? Qusay believes that the United States does not dare, as long as Iraq is not absolutely disobedient. Because, the United States does not have any justifiable reasons, and besides, the Soviet Union is still there, and the United States is not a superpower in later generations. The United States is just exerting the strongest pressure on them in their way, after all, Iraq is not Libya.
Strategically, it is necessary to despise the enemy, and tactically, it is necessary to attach importance to the enemy, and Iraq has already confronted the US Navy more than once. The blood of Iraqi servicemen is always hot.
After the plan was completed, Iraq immediately informed Saudi Arabia and Kuwait of Iraq's plan to conduct military exercises at sea.
What Qusay did not expect was that after hearing about it, King Fahd resolutely decided to send a warship of the Saudi Navy to participate in this exercise in Iraq. {{}}
King Fahd's attitude surprised and moved Qusay very much, which shows that Saudi Arabia has resolutely stood in the camp of Iraq, and even did not hesitate to break with the United States at a critical time.
For the Saudis, this is one thing in which the United States seriously interferes in their internal affairs. The economic matters discussed and decided by the Arab countries have nothing to do with the United States, but the attitude of the United States has made it clear that they are absolutely not a good bodyguard, and if they do not get it right, they will devour the Lord at any time.
At this time, Iraq's resolute and courageous style proved that Saudi Arabia's choice was not wrong.
At this time, a united Arab world is very important.
On June 15ri, Iraq announced that on June 20ri, a maritime military exercise would be held outside the Gulf of Oman, in the territory of the Arabian Sea, with the participation of more than a dozen warships, including the Modern class, as well as naval aviation.
At the same time, on June 22, the Arab Space Corporation will test a rocket developed entirely by the Arabs. {{}}
When the news came, all of a sudden, the entire Persian Gulf once again became the focus of the world's attention.
The Arabs want to build their own unified currency, and this plan is very envied by Europeans, because they have been planning for decades, and until now, they have not really implemented it, because they have a lot of places to coordinate.
The Europeans want to carry out this plan, and the ultimate goal is to build a unified Europe, and their goal is actually very obvious: no country in Europe can compete with the United States, so they must take the road of unity and build a unified Europe, so that it is possible to compete with the United States in the world.
Although they are all in the same camp, Europeans absolutely do not want to live under the aura of the United States forever.
Naturally, the United States is very repulsive to Europe's plans, but at most, they can only express their dissatisfaction with Europe, and they cannot take more actions on the surface, but secretly, they will never let it go. In later generations, after the establishment of the euro, the financial predators of the United States did not miss the black hand.
However, the United States is not so secretive about what the Arabs want to establish a unified currency, and it will never let go of any action that may challenge the status of the dollar.
The U.S. response was so drastic that the U.S. top brass ordered the aircraft carriers Kitty Hawk and Carl Vinson to leave their ports and head to the waters of the Persian Gulf to strike at them.
The dispatch of two aircraft carrier battle groups to the doorstep of the Arabs to demonstrate was a brutal deterrent operation, but it was also completely in line with the style of the United States. Western countries did not make negative comments, they were just watching how the Arabs took over.
Sure enough, very similar to their conjecture, immediately after the United States announced the holding of military exercises, Iraq announced that it would also conduct military exercises. Moreover, the area of the exercise is the same as the area of the exercise announced by the United States.
However, the Arabs are on their doorstep, so the Arabs can rush to the exercise area first, and at this time, the Americans have not yet entered the Indian Ocean.
Iraq announced that it would conduct exercises on June 20, while the United States needed to reach the sea area of the exercises on June 25, which was at a disadvantage in terms of time. {{}}
And for this exercise, Iraq took out all the warships that could be taken out, and among them, all the modern-class warships that robbed the Soviets were opened, will the Iraqis cāo be this warship?
What caught their attention even more was Iraq's announcement to carry out a launch of a launch vehicle, and everyone on the earth knows that launch vehicles and ballistic missiles are just different in payload.
However, Iraq is talking about launch vehicles, and this Arab space company has been established for a long time, and if the United States opposes it now, then it will be naked interference, and any country has the ability to use space peacefully. In particular, this space company, which was created entirely in cooperation with the Arabs, does not belong only to Iraq itself.
Westerners have polished their eyes and watched the development of the situation here.
So, under the watchful eyes of Westerners, the Iraqi Navy dispatched from the Port Saddam base.
The fuel storage tank of the Hyundai-class destroyer has been filled with its fuel, heavy oil, because the Hyundai-class uses a steam boiler-driven steam turbine, so the fuel is also very simple, as long as the worst quality heavy oil can be burned, in the sequence of the navy, its sailing cost is lower than the Hedden class with a displacement of only more than 2,000 tons, and the Hedden-class gas turbine burns the purest light oil.
This is also the superiority of the modern class, in later generations, the down-and-out Russian Navy, can not afford to burn light oil, the modern class of this retro steam turbine, but very popular.
The boiler had already been ignited for more than an hour, and the steam had already been burned to enough pressure, and with the order of the commander-in-chief of the exercise, Rear Admiral Karim, the deputy commander of the Navy, the Hyundai-class sounded the whistle and began to set sail slowly.
Following the Hyundai-class, the four Heden-class frigates also started their huge bodies.
Compared with these large warships, missile boats with a displacement of more than 500 tons moved more quickly, and they protected the two wings of the fleet.
With the Hyundai class as the core, two of the four Heddon-class and two on the left, and on the outside, there are red-star missile boats, and the fleet lineup composed of the fleet cannot be compared with the US Navy, but it is also powerful enough in the entire Persian Gulf region.
In the middle of the way, one of the Saudi frigates, the Abuha, will arrive and join their formation.
And under water, two TR-1700 submarines, already quietly sailed to the front of the formation.
Iraq acquired a total of four TR-1700 submarines, and the two unfinished submarines on the Argentine slipway, according to the agreement, were also delivered to Iraq after they were built, and were named Kokang, Tenacity, Coote and Hai, of which the first boat, the Kokang, has been retrofitted with the Swedish AIP system, and the second boat, Tenacity, is being refitted in the shipyard. Therefore, this time, it was the Kokang and the Kut.
With the AIP system, even if it is half a nuclear submarine, the Kokang does not need to surface at all during this exercise.
The six missile boats, five of which are red-star missile boats imported from the big countries in the East, have two twin-mounted missile launchers on the tail platform, each with a 15-degree angle of inclination, and this missile is an extended-range anti-ship missile produced by Iraq itself using a small turbofan engine, with a range of 200 kilometers.
At this distance, it has long exceeded the guidance ability of the missile boat itself, not to mention that the missile boat, even the Heden-class frigate, cannot guide at such a long distance.
Modern anti-ship warfare is a systematic project, and missile boats are only one link in this, and their task is only to issue shè missiles.
And the guidance of missiles needs to be achieved by helicopters, pre-aircraft, and even satellites.
Among these missile boats, there is a very special one, although the displacement is exactly the same as those ones, but the superstructure is completely different, it looks as if it is wearing a vest.
This missile boat is Iraq's latest weapon, a stealth missile boat! (To be continued.)
