Chapter 755: The Iraqi Navy Must Become Strong as Soon as Possible
readx;
"We are not training now, just ordinary sailing, but there are many hostile forces, they will be afraid of the strength of our Iraqi Navy, we must be vigilant against every target, and be ready to fight at all times. www.biquge.info≦≧I suspect very much that it was the Israeli planes that flew in. Abdul said.
"Now the missile launcher is a trainer bomb, and there will be no fight at all!" The Italians are going crazy. Besides, this is the Arabian Sea, how can the planes of the Israelis fly over!
Oh! Abdur suddenly realized: "Ready, the No. 2 launcher is loaded with live ammunition!" Seeing the angry Italian return to his cabin, the first mate said to Abdul: "Captain, have we done this a little too much?" Abdur's eyes instantly sharpened: "Remember what happened to our submarine force, Mustafa?" ”
At the beginning, Mustafa commanded the TR-1700 submarine that had just been taken over, and successfully carried out a combat mission, taking out the fireship and revealing the conspiracy. At that time, the Iraqi Navy had just received the two submarines, and it was the first long-distance voyage, and they just wanted to drive the submarines back safely, but the words of the German instructor made them change their plans. ≦≧
"I still remember that when Mustafa came back, when he talked to me, he said that the German instructor at that time said that the submarine under our feet was used for war, and this long-distance sea voyage was a rare opportunity for practice. If that's it, return to Iraq from the sea, it's a big waste, we're driving submarines, not freighters! Abdul said: "We, the Iraqi Navy, are weak, but. We have to get strong as soon as possible, and we have to take every minute of our time and train. Perhaps, at the next moment, President Qusay. We need to fight bravely, and we are driving the most powerful and modern warships in Iraq, not freighters! ”
Abdul knows very well in his heart that although it seems peaceful now, war will break out at any time, and the Iraqi Navy can no longer just watch its brothers in the army and air force fighting. They also need to contribute!
This warship, for the Iraqi Navy, the most important, is the "Viper" ship-to-air missile, which is a ship-to-air missile developed and put into use in Italy in the 70s. The "Viper" missile is 370 centimeters long, 20.2 centimeters in diameter, 70 centimeters in wingspan, weighs 230 kilograms, and has a kill range of 15 kilometers and a height of 6 kilometers. The width of the ≦≧ is 8 km. The warhead is loaded with 8 kg of high spirit**, which can form 10,000 fragments after explosion, and the effective killing radius is 10 meters.
Prior to this, Iraq's rudimentary navy had almost no anti-air capabilities, which led to the need for the Saudi navy to play a leading role in the last joint operation to defend the Persian Gulf, a missile that gave Iraq the ability to attack sea-to-air in the event of a low-intensity conflict, and to carry out patrol activities in areas separated from its own air force. For example, you can sail out of the Persian Gulf and sail in the Arabian Sea! In the past, every time there was a conflict, the American warships would go to the Arabian Sea to show off their might, but now, the Iraqi Navy can also come out to confront them!
"The goal is set, it's a civil airliner." At this time, a sound came from the radar room.
"Continue to monitor the surrounding airspace." Abdur said.

Port Saddam, named after the late Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, has become increasingly important in Iraq's foreign trade.
Now, in the military port to the east of the port, it is once again lively, with the officers and soldiers of the Republican Guard under martial law, and there are agents everywhere to defend it, and on a pier of the military port, a group of people are waiting there. ≦≧
The last time the submarine returned home, Qusay made a grand event, and this time it was the same, because he knew that Iraq's ultimate strength was reflected from the sea.
In the distance, the two warships emitting blue smoke were slowly approaching, and they were the first warships in the history of the Iraqi Navy with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons!
"Those warships are the latest Hedden-class frigates ordered from Italy by the Iraqi Navy." On the side of a road outside Port Saddam, British Energy Secretary Webb and the British Chargé d'Affaires in Iraq were watching the warships slowly approaching in the distance.
"Iraqis, think that if you buy a few warships, you will have a strong navy? Qusay's idea is also too simplistic. Putting down the binoculars, Webb said.
"Yes, the Iraqis used to have almost no regular navy, at most a coast guard, and they want to develop a navy, but they are still far behind, the navy, which is not the same as the army. ≦≧" the chargé d'affaires also chimed in. "We, the United Kingdom, have gone through a hundred years of development to become the ultimate empire on which the sun never sets, the Iraqis have never had a history of sea navigation, they don't even have a fisherman, and now, if you want to have a strong sea power in a few years, it is absolutely impossible." Webb said: "If you want to have a strong navy and your own shipbuilding industry, which is also very important, Iraq does not have any technical reserves, and it is simply delusional to think that if it introduces a shipyard, it can build its own warships." ”
"Yes, you are very right."
"Let's go back, we have to think about how to negotiate with Qusay tomorrow, not to damage our British prestige, and to get Qusay to agree to our terms." Webb said that when he said this, he actually didn't have much confidence, because Britain didn't have hole cards.
Qusay is very happy about the return of these two warships, the Iraqi Navy finally has large warships, and in the next few years, there will be more and more warships... Judging from the map, the Iraqi Navy only needs light warships to cruise the Persian Gulf, but this does not satisfy Iraq's large naval strategy. ≦≧
Iraq has a long oil export line, and once it comes to wartime, those oil tankers will become targets, and Iraq must have a blue-water navy!
The scope of activities of the Iraqi Navy is definitely not limited to the Persian Gulf, the Arabian Sea, or even the oceans, which is his sphere of activity! In several conflicts, the Americans relied on their maritime superiority and used force to exert pressure from the direction of the Arabian Sea, although Iraq did not bow its head, but it was a head-on conflict between the two sides, and if there was a real fight, Iraq would not be able to cope with the US Navy's aircraft carrier air strikes alone.
The Iraqi Navy needs not only missile boats and submarines, but also frigates, destroyers, and even one or two aircraft carriers to be able to defend Iraq's national interests!
………
Afghanistan.
It has been the sixth year that the Soviet army has set foot on the soil of Afghanistan, and in the past few years, the Soviet army has increased its strength, but it has still not effectively controlled the situation here, on the contrary, the situation has become more and more chaotic.
The blows of the guerrillas one after another exhausted the Soviet troops.
Colonel Vlamir, with his left leg bent, stood on a rock, picked up the military kettle he was carrying with his hand, drank a sip of cold water, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Just now, they had just routed a guerrilla group that had tried in vain to threaten the movement of their convoy by virtue of the favorable terrain, but the guerrillas quickly retreated under the combined blows of helicopters in the air.
This is the third attack on their transportation of supplies, they are stationed in Kabul all the way to transport the goods, many of the supplies from the Soviet Union are transported by land, but Afghanistan is full of mountains, so they have to be vigilant every step of the way.
Although they drove away the guerrillas, they also caused three casualties, two of whom were seriously wounded, so a Mi-24 helicopter had to end its mission to protect them and return to Kabul with those two personnel, so they now only have one Mi-24 left to protect them.
The terrain ahead was still more complicated, and after passing the mountain in front, they could relax.
"Keep going." Colonel Vramyr walked towards the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle he was riding, and as the threat they were encountering was increasing, they had switched to a more protective infantry fighting vehicle to protect the trucks in the center.
Suddenly, in the distant sky, there was an explosion, Vramil looked up, and saw that the helicopter gunship that was providing air support for his side had received a blow in the tail, lost the role of the tail propeller, and the fuselage of the helicopter began to rotate involuntarily, and then fell.
That's the Stinger anti-aircraft missile used by the Afghan guerrillas! This missile seriously threatens the safety of Soviet helicopters.
"Quick, rush up and kill them!" Vlamir's eyes flashed, and he ran into his infantry fighting vehicle, which started urgently, and the tracks ravaged the rocks on the ground, and ran towards the mountain, and at the same time, the 73-mm smoothbore gun on the turret was ready to fire.
They need to take an infantry fighting vehicle, quickly engage the enemy, and then attack the guerrillas, kill them, and avenge the helicopter that they fell! They had to move fast, otherwise the guerrillas would have run away.
"Boom!" A grenade in the 73mm smoothbore gun has already been launched, and the place where the Stinger missile was fired just now was accurately hit.
"Check your weapons and get ready for battle." After Vramyr finished speaking, he checked his weapon.
Although Vlamir's identity has long since been involved in this level of fighting, Vlamir loves to fight, and only the fire of war can make him passionate.
Suddenly, there was a loud "boom", and from under his feet, a huge shock wave came.
Oops, it's an anti-tank mine! It's a trap! Then Vlamyr lost his instincts.
