Chapter 186: South Kurdistan

readx;

During the Saddam era, Iraq introduced the Tu-22 bomber, which is almost the only country in the Middle East to have such a high-power bomber, and the Tu-22M, the so-called improved version of the Tu-22, is just a dream. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.infoβ•”β•—

The Tu-22 is a backward fixed-wing subsonic bomber, while the Tu-22M is a variable-sweep wing supersonic bomber with huge rectangular air intakes on both sides, similar to the MiG-25, this aircraft has a maximum take-off weight of 124,000 kg, a maximum weapon load of 24,000 kg, and a sprint speed of almost Mach 2 at high altitude. And its range, although it is claimed to be more than 2,000 kilometers, in fact, it can almost reach 5,000 meters, or even 7,000 meters, which can be regarded as a strategic bomber.

It's a wolf in sheep's clothing!

At the beginning, after the Soviet Union was equipped with this kind of bomber, China suddenly sadly found that all the planes it had could not intercept this kind of bomber at all, and as long as the Soviet Union was willing, it could fly over Beijing at any time, so it had the impatient improvement of the Jian-8-2 project.

For Iraq, if it is equipped with such bombers, it will be more capable of threatening the US aircraft carrier group.

So, Qusay has long been eyeing this bomber, which is almost impossible to get from Russia, and can only be obtained from other republics of the USSR, such as Ukraine!

Within Ukraine, there are not just Tu-22M, but also Tu-95, and even several Tu-160s!

Just when all kinds of Iraqi personnel were working together to prepare for the strength of Iraq's national defense, something happened that they did not imagine. β•”β•—

"President Qusay," Yured hurried to Qusay's office, "the Turkish side announced that it would prohibit our Baghdad from passing through the Bosphorus. ”

Hearing this, Qusay raised his head, at this time. He is studying the deployment of Iraq's troops and how they can respond quickly to future struggles.

Hearing Yurid's voice, Qusay remembered that before the warship returned home. On a route that must be taken. There is one roadblock, and that is the strait of Turkey!

For various reasons, the largest shipyard in the USSR, on the Black Sea coast of Ukraine. And the only way from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea is this Bosphorus. β•”β•—

In later generations, the Varyag aircraft carrier, which had been dismantled and left with empty shells, purchased by a private Chinese company, was declared by Turkey to be potentially used for military purposes. And forbid it to pass.

As a result, the Chinese side paid a large deposit, and it took more than a year of diplomatic efforts to finally obtain the right to pass. The empty shell of the aircraft carrier, adrift at sea, went through risks, and finally returned to the eastern power, and finally, Nirvana was reborn. It became the aircraft carrier Liaoning.

If Iraq follows such a path, then I really don't know if it will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

Qusay will never let a Turkey delay its progress.

The clown who jumped off the beam actually came to find trouble in Iraq at this critical time! Qusay knows. Behind Turkey, it must be the United States.

However, Turkey has not found out until now. Iraq simply said that it needed aircraft carriers, but. It was not said that the aircraft carrier was Iraq's. The aircraft carrier is now in the Black Sea, flying the flag of a sickle and axe.

All that is outside is speculation. β•”β•—

Turkey could not let the Iraqi aircraft carriers pass, but could he not let the Soviet heavy aircraft-carrying cruisers pass?

The Soviets never used the term aircraft carrier, they all called it a heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser, which was also a way of saying when passing through the Bosphorus.

In fact, as long as the Soviet Union was strong, Turkey would not even dare to let out a fart, and now, it is the weakened Soviet Union that Turkey dares to hum. Even when Russia in later generations drove the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier to the base of the Northern Fleet, Turkey did not dare to call it.

How dare they stop the heavy aircraft-carrying cruisers of the USSR? Qusay feels that this time Turkey has played the role of a clown.

However, since Turkey is in trouble, Iraq also has to deal with it.

Turkey is also a very important aspect of Qusay's strategy, and if Turkey also gets closer to Iraq, then there is Libya in the south of the Eastern Mediterranean, and Turkey in the north, and this sea area is Iraq's inland sea, just like China's Bohai Bay.

There are also US military bases in Turkey, and it can be said that Turkey is also an accomplice of the Americans and a threat to Iraq. β•”β•—

It will not be easy to completely overthrow the Turkish regime and cultivate a Turkish government close to the Iraqis, but, another thing, it will be very easy!

That is, to support the Kurds in Turkey and let them establish a state of their own in southern Turkey!

The Kurds are the fourth largest ethnic group in the Middle East after Arabs, Persia and Turkey, and Israel, which has a population of only a minority, can establish its own state.

And this desire of theirs will always be exploited by other forces.

For example, during the Iran-Iraq war, both Iraq and Iran encouraged Kurdish rebellion in both countries.

And in the constant confrontation between the two countries, they are simultaneously fighting against the Kurds in their own territory, so this kind of separatist actions led to their mass exile into Turkey. β•”β•—

Now the Kurds in Turkey have made up more than half of the entire Kurds. In the south of Turkey, an armed force, the Kurdistan Workers' Party, has emerged, and their program of action is to establish their own state by force in the area where they have grown.

Since 1980, the Turkish military has taken over the country in a military coup d'Γ©tat. The hard-line Turkish junta has adopted an iron-fisted policy against Kurdish separatist forces, and in addition to its military repression, it has also banned the use of the Kurdish language in the 1982 constitution, further suppressing the political and cultural rights of the Kurds.

Therefore, since 83, the military struggle of the Kurds on the territory of Turkey has been continuous.

Now, history has stepped into the nineties, the Soviet Union has shown signs of splitting, and Yugoslavia has also been divided into several countries, which has greatly promoted the national independence sentiment of the Kurds, and their activities have become more frequent.

Qusay was not going to embark on these things, but since the Turks wanted to suppress themselves, it was better for them to take care of themselves.

"Yured, the Messiah Bureau needs to closely monitor the situation in South Kurdistan, engage with their leaders, and if necessary, we can provide some help." Qusay said.

"Yes, President." Yured knew exactly what he had to do. By calling it South Kurdistan, Qusay has clearly recognized it as a country.

Since Yugoslavia can be divided, why can't Turkey?

"At the same time, we keep a close eye on the rest of the Kurds in our territory, and if they want to go north and participate in activities in Turkey, we are very welcome, but if they plan any activities in our territory, we will completely stop them before they become a sign of it." Qusay said.

Playing with fire is the most dangerous thing. If there is a wave of division in their own country, which is not what Qusay wants, it would be better if they are all inspired to go to Turkey to support their brothers.

Originally, the last time the United States used Turkey's air base, it was already regarded as a threat by Qusay, but now, Turkey has actually begun to stand on the side of the United States regardless of life and death, and Qusay's knife is not hesitating to wave at Turkey.

Sending Yurid away, Qusay pinched the middle of his eyes, this time, it was indeed his negligence, forgetting that there is still this checkpoint in the Black Sea, and also forgetting that on the borders of Iraq and Iran, Libya and other countries, there is also Turkey.

Fortunately, in the south of Turkey, it is the Kurds, otherwise, the Americans use this as a springboard to threaten the northeast of the Arabs, after all, in the current situation, the Americans have already strengthened their military presence in Turkey.

That damn Bush, will Iraq really threaten the United States? I don't know how many American nuclear warheads, changing targets, aimed at Iraq?

Therefore, Iraq is also working hard, and the Arab Space Corporation, after absorbing a large number of Soviet rocket bricks, has begun to add a third stage to the original RSD-10 missile, so that it can reach a range of 10,000 kilometers.

This missile is a medium-range missile that can carry three nuclear warheads with a yield of 150,000 tons, and at the same time, it can also carry a single warhead, and the range will increase due to the reduced load, and at the same time, this is a two-stage ballistic missile, and Iraq is trying to add a third stage to it, so that it has a range of more than 10,000 kilometers and has the ability to attack the US mainland.

The biggest advantage of the Americans is nuclear deterrence, they will throw it out at any time, there is no need for more ballistic missile nuclear weapons, but there must be one!

In addition to ballistic missiles, the Arab Space Corporation is also developing an enlarged version of the DF-4-based launch vehicle, hoping to achieve the ability to launch satellites.

Now, the activities of Yeltie and others in Moscow in the Soviet Union have intensified, and Qusay really does not know how long Gorbachev can hold out.

"President Qusay, Basrah Aviation Industries' first Raptor fighter jet is about to roll off the assembly line, and according to the itinerary, you will attend the offline ceremony there." At this time, the secretary came in and said.
