Chapter 775: Imported Phantom F1

The Argentine's biggest deterrent weapon is the combination of the super flag and Exocet, in the last battle, this combination exerted the greatest power, a $200,000 missile, killed a warship worth more than 100 million, it is simply too cost-effective!

This attack also made the French Exocet missile famous, and for a while, many countries applied to France to buy it, and the French naturally welcomed it very much, and then doubled the price, and the buyer still did not frown. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

And Britain will not allow such a threat to continue! For example, now, the British not only passively retreated backwards and left the attack range of the Super Banner, but also took the initiative to go ashore and killed all the Argentine Super Banner fighters!

Without a carrier aircraft, Exocet missiles cannot be launched! And Argentina has only a few super military flag fighters!

The British people regained confidence that they were capable of winning the final victory.

At sea, there was a few days of calm, but everyone knew that it was just a moment of silence before the storm.

The capital of Argentina, Buenos Aires.

The atmosphere in the presidential palace was very depressing, just now, Galtieri had been roaring for half an hour, but his roar was useless, if his roar could kill the enemy, then he was the most powerful infrasonic weapon in the world.

Galtieri just vented, the biggest cruiser of his own navy! Before the arrival of the aircraft carrier, this warship has always been the flagship of the Argentine Navy!

The cruiser "General Belgrano", formerly known as the "Phoenix", is a Brooklyn-class cruiser built during World War II. It has a full load displacement of 12,000 tons and is equipped with 5 triple 152-mm guns. In World War II, this warship was in the limelight, once the seat of General MacArthur, and also rushed out of the harbor unscathed in the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. Throughout World War II, the warship was wounded many times, torpedoed, eaten cannonballs, and even patronized by Japanese kamikaze teams, but like the "phoenix" in its name, it survived like an immortal bird. The warship has long been seen as a symbol of good luck. In 50 years, this ship was decommissioned and sold to Argentina by the United States for $1.2 million, and then refitted, like now, the warship is loaded with anti-aircraft missiles, and it is completely a modern heavy warship!

There were thousands of people on this warship, but so far, only more than 700 people have been rescued, and the rest are all unlucky.

How could this keep Galtieri from being angry! And then, the news came that the Port Stanley Air Force Base had been bombed and the super military flags had turned into scrap metal, which made Galtieri even more angry!

Damn it! Originally, he also wanted to order his fighters to go out again and retaliate back, but now? There are no more weapons to fight back!

Enraged, Galtieri sat back in his seat, his eyes glazed a little, after all, he was nearly sixty years old.

"General, if we want to take revenge on the British, we need new carrier aircraft." Seeing that Galtieri's mood calmed down, Navy Commander Aranya said.

In order to prevent such a tragedy from happening again, all the warships of the Argentine Navy returned to the port and did not continue to cruise to the sea, especially the aircraft carrier of the Argentine Navy, which also shrank to the port on 25 May.

This made Aranya extremely depressed, in this case, his own air power needs to be restored as soon as possible!

Although with the help of the arms dealer Mhammad, Argentina obtained a Super Hornet helicopter, which can also launch Exocet missiles, but the British aircraft carrier formation has been far away from the Falklands, and the helicopters have limited endurance, so they cannot launch strikes at all! The arrival of such helicopters is more convenient for them to use modern sonar equipment.

A new carrier aircraft is needed! If there is a Super Flag fighter of the same model, it would be great! But now it seems that it is absolutely impossible.

"Aranya, you say, what new carrier aircraft are needed?" Galtieri's eyes were red, and he said to Aranya.

"Iraq also has one fighter that can meet our needs, which is the Mirage F1, and we can buy 20 from Iraq." Aranya said: "This aircraft is also a French aircraft, the flight characteristics are very similar to the Super Flag, and our pilots, after a short period of training, can adapt to the flight of this aircraft." It really doesn't work, even if it's the pilots we hired the Iraqis, we have to restore the attack capability as soon as possible! ”

Iraq! Now, the only thing that Argentina can rely on is Iraq! Iraq's Mirage F1 does not use the common ****** structure of the Mirage company, but the conventional fighter structure, both of which are from the same era, and the cockpit is almost the same, so it is not difficult to get started.

Buying a Mirage F1 from Iraq! Aranya's words regained Galtieri's confidence, and if there were really 20 Mirage F1s, there would really be no suspense in this naval battle.

But... The purchase of fighter planes, this is definitely a huge expense, but it is not comparable to the purchase of a few missiles before, in the Argentine treasury, can there be so much money for the Ministry of Defense?

"How much did the Iraqis offer?" Galtieri asked.

"$30 million a plane, and if you have twenty planes, that's $600 million." Aranya said.

Three million dollars! Hearing this, Galtieri felt like he was going to vomit blood, damn it, the Iraqis, they are too good at asking for a price! Now, the latest third-generation aircraft, that is, at this price, these second-hand Mirage F1s, the normal price is about 10 million US dollars. These black-hearted Middle Easterners!

"If we don't have enough money, the Iraqis say their original plan will still work." Aranya continued.

Hearing this, Galtieri clenched his fists: "No, we will not give the sovereignty of the Falklands that we fought with blood to others." Our treasury can still pay for this expenses! ”

Of course, Galtieri knows that behind Iraq is the Soviet Union, and the sovereignty of the Falklands is absolutely uncompromising! Moreover, wouldn't it be better to take the Falklands and develop them together with Western oil companies to restore relations with the Western world?

In his bones, Galtieri still didn't believe in the East. (To be continued.) )
