Overhead, bubbles kept coming out, and Kasra bit on the scuba apparatus, calmed down, and took out the equipment he was carrying. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info{{}}
Underwater, because of the buoyancy of water, it is very similar to weightlessness in space, which leads to the movement of personnel, which is very inconvenient. However, it is precisely because of this that a suitable place has been found for the training of astronauts, and the training of astronauts is carried out in the water.
Kasra is a squadron leader of the Iraqi Navy's diving group, and this time, he and his team members have been here for more than half a month.
His task is to work underwater, using a special air pick, and the object of their work is the underwater rock, which is a difficult task, but they must complete it.
Kasla looked up, the behemoth, not far away, and they did it to help it get out of danger.
That behemoth is the K-132 nuclear submarine!
The K-132 nuclear submarine has not left here since the last time it was brought to the Persian Gulf by the reckless Yezhov and stranded. {{}}
The Soviets tried many ways to get the submarine back, but all failed, and their most suitable means was to blow up the underwater reef with explosives, but Iraq resolutely disagreed, which would lead to very troublesome consequences. Therefore, the Soviets left the submarine here, unable to move, but only sent troops, which rotated here every year, which can be regarded as sticking to their mobile land.
But now, a few years have passed, and the Soviet Union has finally completely lost confidence in this submarine, and it can't take it away, and let it be exposed to the wind and sun here, it's just chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to abandon it.
And the Iraqi side, several times urged the Soviet side to drive the submarine away, and it is not a problem to be in the Persian Gulf for a long time, in case of nuclear leakage, it will cause pollution.
The Soviets had no way at all, and Iraq said this, which made the Soviets very dissatisfied, but then Iraq put forward a condition that Iraq could buy the submarine at the price of scrap steel and bring it back to the shipyard for dismantling. {{}} In this way, the cost of long-distance transportation was saved on the Soviet side.
Although the Soviet military top brass strongly objected, Gorbachev, after hearing the price offered by Iraq, agreed, that the submarine was also going to be scrapped, and that a sum of money had to be made to get it back? Not to mention, they don't yet have a way to free it from underwater.
In the end, the Soviet military put forward the idea that the key places must be destroyed on the spot when the shipyard was dismantled, and Iraq fully agreed.
These proposals are the ideas of certain people at the top, and when the time comes, those who will send overseers will refuse in the face of Iraq's generous funds? Now, the submarine is surrounded by Iraqi personnel, working on the submarine to help it get out of here.
At the beginning, the Soviet engineers had no solution, so what did the Iraqis do?
The thinking of the Iraqis is very simple, the fool moves mountains!
There is a reef under the water, which is stuck in the submarine, so the submarine cannot move or be towed away, and here is a shallow water area, and the rescue ship cannot act, so use the most primitive way to dry out the reef!
The primitive way, of course, is not to use a hammer and steel fiber, but to use a pickaxe to kill the reef piece by piece, then the submarine will naturally be out of danger. {{}}
This method is simple, but the amount of work is very large, and they have been working for half a month, and they have not completed half of the task.
For the sake of President Qusay, do it! They fixed their bodies to the bottom of the water, used their equipment, calmed down, and got to work.
The fish next to it have been frightened and fled in all directions, this movement is not ordinarily large, and it can travel far through the sea.
Qusay originally did not plan to attack the idea of this submarine, but the current situation has forced him to quickly develop his military strength. {{}}
The difference is that if the Iraqi navy is not strong enough, they can only wait on land, waiting for the US Navy to come in a brawl before they can counterattack, and with the sea formation, they can resist the enemy thousands of miles away. Even if it does not develop to the level of strength of the US Navy, it can only fight guerrilla warfare at sea, and it can still contain the US forces heavily.
Now the conflict between the two sides has not broken out again, but it does not mean that the two sides will coexist peacefully, and Qusay knows very well that the current calm is only to prepare for the outbreak in the future, and next time, it will definitely be a shocking stone.
The Iraqi Navy is looking forward to the arrival of their heavy aircraft-carrying cruisers. Due to Iraq's urging, coupled with the sufficiency of funds, and the efforts of a large number of shipwrights from Iraq, Iraq's aircraft carrier has progressed very smoothly and has entered the final assembly stage, which has caught up with the Varyag, which began to preset components two years earlier, and because Iraq's sufficient funds have ensured the construction of the Soviet aircraft carrier, the progress of the Varyag has also been slightly accelerated.
Moreover, the catapult developed for the aircraft carrier, having completed all the test projects, confirmed that such a catapult is fully viable, and the Black Sea Shipyard is preparing to install the catapult on the beveled deck. {{}}
At this time, the first aircraft carrier of the Soviet Union, Riga, which had been renamed Kuznetsov, had been built in 89 years and had been conducting sea trials in the Black Sea, and both the MiG-29K and the Soviet Union had completed test flights on it and were about to be delivered to the Soviet Navy. Iraq is looking forward to its own aircraft carriers, but one step ahead of the aircraft carrier, the Su-25UTG carrier-based attack aircraft has entered Iraq, and Iraq's original Su-25 fighters are the same, Iraq has modified the avionics system of this aircraft, so that it has a more powerful attack capability, and has become a main aircraft carrier carrier-based aircraft.
In addition, what Qusay is looking forward to the most is that the Su-27K fighter that can catapult and take off is also in Soviet production, and will be secretly delivered to Iraq, and when the Iraqi aircraft carrier returns to the base, the corresponding carrier-based aircraft has also completed basic training.
Now, Reyes and others are still training in Ukraine for the take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft, and they can already fly the Su-27 fighter, the most powerful fighter of the Soviet Air Force, and with the efforts of Qusay, they are about to take responsibility for the Iraqi Navy.
In this regard, Ajelina has worked very hard and has dredged all the links, and at the right time, the advanced attack nuclear submarine will enter the Iraqi naval base.
One was difficult enough, and Iraq had to think of other ways to get the other, so Qusay set his sights on the Oscar-2 nuclear submarine stranded in the Persian Gulf. This is a cruise missile nuclear submarine, and it is also a model unique to the Soviet Union, but its performance is still very good, and it will not fall behind in the confrontation with attack nuclear submarines underwater, so if this kind of nuclear submarine can be settled in the Iraqi Navy, Qusay will naturally not be able to ask for it.
In Iraqi shipyards, dismantling is not possible, and those damaged hulls are repaired, and Iraq has hired several well-known Soviet nuclear submarine specialists to carry out the repair.
The only thing that upsets Cusay is the powerful Granite anti-ship missile on the Oscar 2 class, which is unusable. Because, this kind of missile needs the support of the whole system, and Iraq lacks this support. Moreover, even if they spend a huge amount of money to establish the entire supporting system of this missile, they only have these missiles equipped on the current Oscar-class nuclear submarines, and they cannot get more missiles.
Therefore, Qusay already had a plan to modify the launchers of these anti-ship missiles so that they could launch Iraq's own land-attack cruise missiles.
At present, Iraq's land-attack cruise missile has been developed into the Red Bird 4, which is eight meters long, which is relatively close to the 10-meter length of the Granite missile, and the diameter after folding is about the same, so it can be stuffed into the missile launch tube of this submarine. Due to the increased volume and the replacement of a new type of engine, the range of this cruise missile finally achieved its intended purpose, having a range of 2,800 meters! Moreover, to the extent of the already sophisticated inertial navigation and terrain matching, Iraq has added a new navigation correction item to the navigation system of this missile: a satellite navigation system.
With Iraq's participation in the Soviet Union's satellite navigation project and its normal operation, a large number of satellite receiving terminals have been produced non-stop, and Iraq's arsenal has one more weapon: satellite-guided weapons!
So, when it came to the slipway, those involved in the modification, as well as the launch tubes of such missiles, were matched. In this way, in addition to attacking nuclear submarines, Iraq will also have cruise missile nuclear submarines, and when the time comes, this kind of submarine, cruising in the ocean, will also be a powerful attack weapon, and it will be able to attack a country's land targets by using the cruise missiles it carries.
And the Red Bird IV missile, the reason why the volume has been enlarged, is that it can carry a nuclear warhead!
Although Iraq also has solid-state ballistic missiles with a long enough range, Iraq does not have any technical reserves to install such missiles on submarines, and it needs to overcome many technical problems.
However, only nuclear submarines can have a very good secondary nuclear strike capability, which is a powerful bargaining chip in the confrontation between major powers, so it is also an option for Iraq to use cruise missiles to undertake a secondary nuclear strike mission when it is unable to solve this kind of problem now.
