Chapter 128: Developing Military Strength
readx;
The external environment has become more and more unpeaceful, especially the performance of the Soviet Union, which has given Qusay a sense of crisis, so the military strength of Iraq, which he is most concerned about, has been rapidly improving. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info{{}}
In the future war, naval warfare is the most important, in this regard, Iraq also began to advance significantly, Iraq after a period of application, the Swedish development of the AIP system Xing can be very satisfied, although the maximum power is insufficient, however, can already allow the TR-1700 submarine, can sail quietly underwater for more than ten days, without the need to surface for ventilation.
So, after converting four TR-1700 submarines into AIP submarines, Iraq ordered four new submarines from Sweden, eight submarines, which could bring the underwater power of the Iraqi Navy to a new height.
In addition to these submarines, Ajelina did everything she could to prepare to get a real nuclear submarine from the Soviet Union.
And the water forces, now the main force of Iraq, are the two modern and dreadnought classes with a displacement of more than eight thousand tons. With these two warships as the core, four Heden-class escorts, plus more than a dozen advanced missile boats, and naval aviation. Such a force can already patrol the Arabian seas under the protection of naval aviation.
Iraq's naval personnel have taken turns to train on two Soviet-built warships, and Iraq has trained a large number of naval personnel, many of whom have also gone to Western European countries for training and gained first-class sailing experience. Iraq had trained enough personnel and waited to receive Soviet warships in large numbers.
Although Iraq has only ordered these two warships and the aircraft carrier, Qusay has already planned for the Iraqi Navy, and the Iraqi Navy will have more than a dozen large surface ships with the Modern and Dreadnought classes as the main force in the future, forming one or two aircraft carrier formations.
Although Iraq did not order now, however, when the Soviet Union collapsed, a large number of their warships. will face the fate of elimination, and that is the best chance for the Iraqi Navy to grow.
Therefore, Iraq now needs to train enough naval personnel, and this is the most important thing.
Iraq's economy. It is also developing rapidly. With the construction and improvement of various industries, Iraq began to export various manufactured products to the surrounding Arab brother countries. From Iraq, through Iran. The construction of the railway to Palestine also began during the Second Five-Year Plan, and at the same time, Qusay also began to make contact with the great powers of the East. Let the eastern powers explore the railway from Is-Langburg to Lanzhou, so that from Iraq, you can take the train to the eastern powers.
With the gradual closer ties between Iraq and the eastern powers, the Jian-10 project has greatly brought the two countries closer to each other, including defense projects, and when the Soviet Union collapsed, it was a potential enemy of the United States. One of them will be the Middle East, and the other will be the big countries in the East, which will use the Taiwan issue to suppress the big powers in the East.
So, build this railway. It will allow the exchange between the two countries to avoid sea routes, and when transporting certain secret materials, it can avoid the attention of the Americans.
It's a pity. Private capital is not allowed to enter the railways of the big eastern countries. Otherwise, Qusay would be willing to have Iraq finance and use the profits from the railway's operation to pay off the debt.
Time is running out in Iraq, and every second counts.
Iraq now has a great deal of scientific capacity, and one of the focuses of their scientific work is research on how to detect and eliminate stealth aircraft. {{}}
Qusay knows that at present, the American F-117 has begun to complete the equipment of the troops and has combat capability. In the later Gulf War, the sky of Iraq was the first to be knocked open by the F-117.
After that, the example of the F-117 forged a myth, it seemed that it could come and go without a trace, flying through the enemy's sky without knowing it, dropping bombs. It wasn't until later in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia that the halberd sank into the sand and was beaten down.
The stealth aircraft is not invulnerable, it is only a stealth design for a specific band, that is, the microwave band commonly used by radars, and for meter-wave radar, it is simply impossible to hide its whereabouts.
However, due to the long wavelength, the equipment of the meter-wave radar is too large, and the degree of jing is not high, so it is impossible to determine the position.
Therefore, Iraq's current research direction is to place a number of meter-wave radars on the corresponding positions, and then, through the computer network, the signals found by each radar are synthesized, so that the influence of insufficient jingdu can be eliminated, and it is very difficult for them to do so, because this jingdu is high enough to guide the Sam-11 anti-aircraft missiles equipped with Iraq. What they need is not only to be able to spot the stealth plane, but also to take out it!
Two months ago, the F-117A was unveiled at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, USA, and almost everyone who saw the plane would be amazed at this sci-fi aircraft. The U.S. Air Force claims that any place in the world is an airspace that it can fly into.
Another piece of news that makes Qusay happy is that the Swedish side's active sky flash missile has finally completed its research and development and has been successfully finalized.
In later generations, this missile, after several twists and turns, was finally reborn and became the famous meteor missile, but it was more than ten years later.
Originally, according to history, this missile was jointly developed by the United Kingdom and Sweden, however, Britain withdrew from the development of the missile due to lack of funds, and Sweden still appreciated this missile, but in 89 years, their main fighter, the Gripen prototype crashed because of the problem of the telex system, they had to spend a lot of effort to solve the problem of the Gripen, the Swedish Ministry of Defense canceled the investment in this missile, became a project of Saab Corporation, decided to put it on the market, attracted Germany, France, The money of countries such as Italy and Spain, which ended up being a Meteor missile with a ramjet engine and a range of more than a hundred kilometers. {{}}
As a result of the crossing of Qusay, the fate of this missile has also changed, and this active sky flash missile has been launched, which has become the main equipment of the Swedish Air Force and the Iraqi Air Force.
Iraq's own production line of sky flash missiles began to be improved, and when the contract was signed, Iraq needed to produce independently, including internal electronic equipment, and Iraq now has a chip factory, which can be used as an OEM to help produce these key equipment.
Since then, Iraq has ceased the production of passive sky flash missiles and has thrown itself into this active sky flash missile at full speed. The Iraqi Air Force's armament has reached the world's first-class advanced level, with medium-range active sky flash missiles and close-range R-73 missiles with large off-axis launches, allowing them to have sufficient advantages in the face of advanced US fighters.
After the finalization of this missile, Saab hopes to continue to carry out the "agile active sky flash" program, using wingless layout and "tail control" technology, that is, using only the tail to control the rudder surface cāo longitudinal, which can greatly improve the maneuverability of the missile, and the long-range missile program using ramjet engines, and the Iraqi side continues to participate in the development of these projects and invests a certain amount of funds.
However, when Sweden invited the Iraqi side to participate in their Gripen project, Iraq politely refused, and Iraq did not need to repeat the development of a light fighter.
On the other hand, the Il-76 airframe provided by Iraq, the Ericsson Divine Eye pre-jing aircraft, which has undergone rigorous tests and overcome various technical problems, this aircraft is finally going to end its test flight and finally enter service with the Iraqi Air Force.
After the Iraqi Air Force's tests, the other pre-jing planes will be modified partly in Sweden and partly in Iraq to complete the upgrading of Iraq's pre-jing planes, and if this pre-jing aircraft can meet Iraq's needs, Iraq will eventually be equipped with about 10 such pre-jing planes.
In addition to large-scale equipment, Qusay is also very concerned about the equipment of the main force. Iraq's current individual weapons are mainly domestically produced Tabuk assault rifles, which are produced by Iraq in the full set of M70 gun family series production lines imported from Yugoslavia, that is, the Yugoslav version of AKM.
Including 7.62mm assault rifles, 5.56mm assault rifles, 7.62mm sniper rifles, etc., produced by the Iraqi National Arsenal.
However, Qusay is not very satisfied with the performance of this rifle, although the Soviet rifle has the advantages of being strong and durable, powerful firepower, etc., but there are also many weaknesses, such as bulkiness, difficulty in installing infrared sights, grenade launchers, tactical flashlights and other firearm attachments, poor accuracy, and so on.
Regardless of the country's army, the army is still the largest in number and on the battlefield, facing the greatest threat of death, reliable individual weapons, for soldiers who go to the battlefield, is very necessary.
After careful selection, Qusay decided to upgrade his small arms production line and introduce a new assault rifle: the M940 series assault rifle developed by East Germany.
This rifle was developed by the East German military on the basis of the Soviet-made AK74, thanks to the continuous development of new materials, compared with the original assault rifle, it uses a large number of lightweight non-metallic engineering synthetic materials, without reducing the durability standard of the AK series rifles, greatly improving the accuracy; And it is a universal modular design, with standard type, short protrusion type, sniper type, light machine gun type and other series; It can also be lightly installed and added with firearm add-ons such as Picatinny rails, infrared sights, tactical flashlights, grenade launchers, etc.
After negotiations between Iraq and East Germany, the production line of this rifle was finally introduced to Iraq, and the main force of the Iraqi army will gradually replace it with this world-advanced first-class assault rifle.
In 1989, it has always been calm on the surface, but there are constant turmoil in the mainland, and the yin plot is constantly going on. With the rapid development of its military strength, Iraq stands on the land of the Middle East with an attitude of not changing to all changes. A turbulent dark wave is slowly coming.
