Iraqi President Qusay's visit to the Soviet Union is also a major international event, and journalists from various countries are paying close attention to Iraq's move. www.biquge.info When President Qusay inspected the nuclear power plant built with the assistance of the Soviet Union, he was kindly invited by the Soviet ambassador to Iraq to visit the Soviet Union. There must be other projects!

Sure enough, the official news surprised them very much, Iraq will invest $500 million to participate in the Soviet Union's satellite navigation project, Iraq hopes to use this navigation project to improve Iraq's domestic scientific and technological level, because Iraq will independently develop satellite navigation products suitable for civilian use, to help the Soviet Union promote this global navigation project, this will be a win-win strategy.

The Soviet Union's satellite navigation project has been talked about in the international community, and if this project is completed, it will play a huge advantage in the civilian field, for example, to survey resources in the field, it is necessary to determine the specific location, such as transportation, to the wilderness, all need positioning functions. In particular, Iraq claims that after the reduction of size, it will be able to install navigation terminal products on automobiles, and even realize hand-held devices, which can bring great convenience to people with digital maps. {{}}

However, more discerning people see that this system of the Soviet Union, which was developed for the military, is to serve military interests, what does this mean? Did the huge military-industrial complex of the USSR want to transform into a civilian one? Did the Soviet Union finally want to change the structure of the domestic economy under Gorbachev's leadership? Joke. The Soviet Union had such a huge army, so many military forces. Gorbachev is still on a shaky footing, where can he betray the interests of the military.

The US top brass analyzed this conclusion in the first place. This is because the Soviet Union is short of money, so, absorbing Iraq's funds, however, is unwilling to export more technology to Iraq, so. It is limited to civilian use in Iraq, and now, the GPS satellite navigation project of the United States is also used for both military and civilian purposes. The civilian level is a notch lower, so, they speculate, the Soviet side must have done the same.

Even so, this news can be regarded as explosive, and people outside do not know that the news announced by the Iraqi side this time is only a small part of the agreement signed by the two sides. Iraq and the Soviet Union reached an agreement that would greatly damage U.S. interests and threaten the strategic balance in the Middle East.

After the re-determination of both parties. After another round of negotiations, an agreement was finally reached. Iraq was to order three warships from the USSR, one of the Modern class, one of the Dreadnought-class, as well as a heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser.

If you want the greedy Red Navy to agree to equip Iraq with these warships, then they must be given enough benefits, and Qusay's conditions are impossible for them to refuse.

Iraq agreed. In order to help train Iraq's naval personnel, the Soviet Union will send a total of more than 8,000 Soviet naval personnel to Iraq in batches after the warships are built, to help Iraq master the work, maintenance and maintenance of the three warships, because Iraq does not have the ability to build large warships, and the navy has no experience, so the Soviet Navy will stay at the base in Iraq for at least five to ten years, because, Iraq has not ordered heavy aircraft-carrying cruisers, Iraq has not had more than five years, It is impossible to fully grasp it. {{}}

Originally, the Navy was still extremely reluctant, but the high-end Granite anti-ship missiles and Su-27K carrier-based aircraft were removed, although this kind of carrier-based aircraft had only begun to be developed in the Soviet Union, so that it was actually equivalent to selling an aircraft carrier to Iraq, and the Soviet Navy's estimate of the combat effectiveness of this kind of warship was not as good as half of the Brelenev built in the Soviet Union now, so they still agreed.

And Qusai proposed that because there were no anti-ship missiles, the specific design of the aircraft carrier, he needed to put forward a series of requirements, so that the Neva design bureau could make slight improvements on the basis of the prototype drawings. If there are not enough designers, Iraq is willing to send the best engineers in the country to help for its own aircraft carrier program. Moreover, because the Iraqi Navy has too few pilots and does not have any technical reserves, Iraq hopes to send pilots to the Air Force Education and Training Center at Novofedrovka Airport in Ukraine to train Iraq's own carrier-based pilots. There is a full-scale deck structure of the Brerenev aircraft carrier, including the jump deck, which is also capable of simulating the shaking of the ship and is used to train carrier-based pilots.

The Soviet side agreed to Qusay's proposal, what designers could Iraq have? Even if they go to the Neva Design Bureau, they can't get access to anything secret, at most they can design beds for sailors?

Of course, they don't know that what Qusay called involving the designers is certainly not really involved in the actual design, and even if the Iraqi side is sincere, the Soviet side will have reservations. {{}} Let the Soviets teach the Iraqis how to design aircraft carriers by hand, that is impossible.

The most important role of Qusai in letting his own personnel come is to communicate, yes, to find out all the people of the entire design bureau, those who are capable and talented, and then make friends and prepare for the future. Therefore, these talents must not only have enough technical knowledge, but also have enough communication skills, this kind of talent, it is still a little difficult to find, because most of the designers, that is, intellectuals, have a kind of education model to cultivate the psychology of not being able to communicate or not deliberately pretentious, but there are many talents in Iraq now, and this kind of talent will definitely be able to be found. {{}}

Talent is always the most important thing, and President Qusay is far-sighted and thirsty for talent. In later generations, most of the people of the Neva Design Bureau went to the eastern powers, and the modification of the Liaoning also had their credit.

The contract was top secret, and the Soviets claimed that it was built for themselves during the construction of the warship, during the sea trials, and until it finally sailed to the Iraqi military port, especially the heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser. If the news leaks out, the United States will definitely try to intervene in this contract, especially the United States, and in particular, the United States will definitely condone Turkey to prevent this warship from passing through the Bosphorus.

The Soviet Union would eventually make these warships permanent at naval bases in Iraq with the situation of their visits, and it slowly became a fait accompli.

Both sides were very satisfied, especially the Soviet Union, and Iraq agreed to the question of the command authority of the Soviet naval advisers on the three warships, especially on the aircraft carriers, so that the Soviet Navy finally made important progress in its strategy of going south to the Indian Ocean, which was equivalent to obtaining a reliable naval base.

Prior to this, the Soviet army had a similar experience, when the MiG-25 was sold to Iraq, a large number of Soviet advisers were stationed in Iraq, and at the most it reached nearly 10,000 people, and many MiG-25s were flown by Soviet pilots. But after Qusay came to power, the number of Soviet personnel was gradually reduced, and by now there were only a small number of Soviets left at the H-3 airbase.

On the third day of his arrival in Moscow, Qusay, accompanied by the Deputy Minister of Defense of the USSR and Commander of the Navy, Marshal Gorshkov, began to come to the Neva Design Bureau.

The Neva Design Bureau was established on January 18, 1931, when, by order of the Zhongyāng Bureau of the All-Union Federation of Shipbuilding Industries, a special shipbuilding bureau of Duli Economic Accounting was formed: the Zhongyāng Shipbuilding Design Bureau, which was responsible for concentrating on the design of military shipbuilding, accelerating the revitalization and further development of the navy of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. The first project of the design bureau was a destroyer of the "Leningrad" class with a displacement of 2700 tons.

After being renamed the 17th Design Bureau, the name of the Neva Design Bureau was changed back to the name of the Neva Design Bureau, and the location was relocated due to the war, and then it returned to Leningrad, where it was located.

After decades of development, the Neva Design Bureau has become the oldest design bureau for surface ships in the USSR. All the current capital warships of the USSR, including aircraft-carrying cruisers, are products of this design bureau.

Marshal Gorshkov, who accompanied Qusay, was a well-known figure in the Soviet Union, who was born in 1910 and joined the Navy in 1927, and since then, he has devoted his life to the naval career of the Soviet Union.

Graduated from the Frunze Naval School and the Advanced Training Course for Senior Chiefs of the Naval Academy. He successively served as the captain of frigates, destroyers, and detachments of the Pacific Fleet. In World War II, he served as Commander of the Fleet, Deputy Commander of the Novorossiysk Defense District, Acting Commander of the 47th Army of the Army, Commander of the 56th Army, Commander of the Danube District Fleet of the Navy, and Commander of the Black Sea Fleet Detachment. After the war, he successively served as Chief of Staff, Commander of the Black Pass Fleet, First Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, and in 1956, he was appointed Deputy Minister of Defense and Commander-in-Chief of the Navy.

Gorshkov went through the four Soviet leaders of Khrushchev, Breenerv, Andropov, and Chernenko, and now he is under Gorbachev's orders. Marshal Gorshkov's influence on the Soviet Navy was enormous, and he advocated an ocean-going offensive and a struggle with the United States for maritime supremacy, which was in line with the Cold War mentality of the Soviet Union now.

Moreover, Gorshkov is a staunch aircraft carrier faction, and even during the Khrushchev period, which was the most admiring of ballistic missiles, Gorshkov passed the plan to build the first Moskva-class helicopter carrier with a large rear deck under the pretext of better searching for American nuclear submarines.

Gorshkov was very satisfied with the Iraqi side's order plan, a major event that had an important impact on the Soviet naval strategy, so after taking him to visit the Neva Design Bureau this time, he would also take him to visit the Black Sea Shipyard. rs
