Chapter 896 Pemp on the nuclear submarine to determine if there is a nuclear leak

As a multiplier of air combat power, the pre-Jing aircraft is a very expensive high-tech aircraft, and the newly manufactured E-2C, even if it is the US Navy's own internal procurement price, is about 200 million US dollars, but because this batch of aircraft is only the E-2B that has been out of the factory for more than ten years, although it has undergone improvements in the middle, including the replacement of new Zhongyāng computers, the United States has exported it at this extremely favorable price in order to show its "friendliness" to Iraq. Iraq actually cut the price of $10 million, but it was also within the range of the United States. Pen, Fun, Court www.biquge.info{{}}

Nine million dollars! Iraq a heavy Mirage 4000 fighter, the price of their own production line is also about 50 million US dollars, this is simply the price of cabbage to buy a pre-jing machine, although, this pre-jing machine is not a new type of E-2C, but E-2B, in later generations, in 93 years, Taiwan purchased a pre-Jing machine, also E-2B, just slightly modified by the United States, sold to Taiwan, at that time it was a sky-high price.

Of course, now the contracts are all reached by Taha, and by the time President Qusay returns, these pre-aircraft have already been driven back to Iraq's air bases, and when Qusay finally had the opportunity to inspect these pre-aircraft half a month later, he expressed a strong protest against the United States, expressed serious protest against the United States' fraudulent behavior in this transaction, and hoped that the United States would make improvements to these Iraqi pre-aircraft aircraft, especially by replacing them with new radars. {{}}

When the United States received this news, it felt that a mouthful of old blood was about to spurt out, and the United States did not have a lion to open its mouth at what price and what kind of things to buy. This kind of price is already a very fair price for this kind of pre-Jing machine, and Iraq only pointed out that the purchase of the E-2, and the E-2B is also the E-2 pre-Jing machine.

Internally, Taha was also severely reprimanded by Qusai for this incident. The two had a very unpleasant quarrel.

Of course, this is all a performance for outsiders to see.

Knowing that the Americans agreed to export to the E-2, it was too late for Qusay to rejoice. This time, it was completely effortless.

Although it is backward E-2B, but. Even the technology of the airframe is also worth this price, in order to meet the needs of the ship, this airframe is newly designed. {{}}

Compact fuselage, the wing is foldable, cantilever trapezoidal upper wing, and the outer wing can be folded back as a 90-degree rotation. The wingspan is 24.56 meters long when extended, and only 8.94 meters when folded, which is less than half of the original. Significantly reduced storage space on the ship.

In order to shorten the height, the radome can also be raised or lowered by hydraulic control, with a maximum drop height of 0.64 m during shutdown, which is conducive to storage.

Under the influence of radome, in order to ensure the stability of the direction. On the horizontal tail were installed 4 vertical airfoils. The two vertical wing surfaces on the outside extend below the flat tail; The middle two pieces are fixed to the horizontal stabilizer and have no extension.

A strong nose landing gear that can withstand a bullet takeoff, a main landing gear that can withstand the huge impact force when a ship hits, just the fuselage, is worth the price! The life of such pre-jing machines in the United States is very long, and there were once E-2A improvements to E-2B. It was improved to the E-2C, which has been in service for nearly 30 years, so the arrival of this batch of aircraft made Qusay very satisfied.

Although the radar Xing can not be very good and cannot be equipped with the American E-2C now...... comparable, and the United States has now developed a ...... By the nineties, the new factory ...... Radar has been developed to the extreme. {{}}

Qusay was satisfied with Taha's actions, and although the radar of this pre-aircraft was backward, compared with the carrier-based Ka-31 pre-aircraft, the Xing capability was still much higher, at least, facing the influence of clutter from the waves on the sea surface, it could also monitor targets the size of fighters at a distance of 300 kilometers, detect missiles flying over the sea at a distance of 100 kilometers, track more than 1,500 signals, and guide 40 interception capabilities. The Ka-31, on the other hand, can only meet the monitoring distance of 100 kilometers, and it also needs to transmit the signal back to the mothership for analysis and processing.

If you want to develop a carrier-based pre-jing aircraft by yourself, the difficulty is not ordinary, and even France, which has always been independent in the military industry, gave up self-development and purchased the American E-2C.

Of course, Qusay will not be satisfied, so he is very dissatisfied with the backward technology sold by the United States to Iraq at a high price, and protests against this deceptive tactic of the United States, after which the American side finally agreed to use the ...... radar, to replace the backward radar of this pre-jing, of course, Iraq needs to pay an additional $50 million for each set of radar...... The radar is the first radar carried by the E-2C, although this radar is the same as that of the current E-2C...... There is still a big gap in the radar Xing energy, however, the new antenna has been used, and the Xing energy has been substantially improved. {{}}

Qusay was completely satisfied, but only six of these E-2B pre-aircraft were exported to Iraq, and Iraq still had some shortcomings.

………

On the sea, when it was about to get dark, the Iraqi rescue tugboat came to the side of the Baton Ruri, ready to tow the hapless submarine to the dock of the Iraqi shipyard a hundred nautical miles away.

The captain had received orders from the fleet command and had reached an agreement with the Iraqi side that they would inspect the damage to the nuclear submarine in the Iraqi shipyard in order to determine whether it could continue sailing, and they knew that the submarine that had hit them had run aground as it was about to leave the Persian Gulf.

Johnson really wanted to swim over and fight those hateful Soviets, beating up the captain and colliding underwater, was it so fun? Through the photos, the naval command has analyzed that the Soviet submarine that collided with them has a displacement of between 15,000 and 20,000 tons, and if the collision is in the right position, they will definitely die immediately underwater in a traffic accident, and it is a miracle that they can now surface and breathe fresh air. {{}}

This Baton Ruri, like a girl who has been forced, stays alone on the surface of the sea, waiting for rescue.

Now, the tug is in place and ready to go.

"No, we won't allow your personnel to step on our submarines." When Johnson heard such a request, his face suddenly changed.

Iraq made a request, because this time, it was to tow the nuclear submarine to the Iraqi shipyard, where there are hundreds of thousands of residents, so Iraq must be sure that the nuclear submarine did not leak.

After the retirement of the USS Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier, the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was to be stationed in the port of RIBEN, which caused strong public protests and many demonstrations.

Iraq proposed that it must be inspected and made sure that the nuclear submarine was not leaked before it could enter the shipyard, much to Johnson's displeasure.

Since the Los Angeles-class submarine was put into service, it has never been observed by foreigners! It is absolutely impossible, you are completely sure that there is no nuclear leakage from the nuclear submarine!

The two sides again reached an impasse and escalated to the top.

The U.S. Navy is very annoyed, Iraq is sitting on the ground, about to start acting, and now here is this hand, they have made a serious protest to Iraq, but at this time, Taha's words have changed, Iraq must ensure the safety of its own people, to ensure that there is no serious ecological disaster in the Persian Gulf, so if they are not sure whether this nuclear submarine has a nuclear leakage, their only way is to drag this nuclear submarine out of the Persian Gulf.

Anyway, the tugboat is also in place, the same tow, either checked, if there is no nuclear leakage, they will be towed to the shipyard, if they do not cooperate, or if there is a nuclear leak, they can only be towed out of the Persian Gulf, out of the Gulf of Oman, and let this submarine fend for itself in the Arabian Sea.

Taha's attitude made it impossible for Brightman to put forward his opinion, and if it were the American side, it would indeed be doing so.

Then, Taha said that it was because the domestic reaction was also very strong, especially because it was afraid that the collision nuclear submarine would have an accident, which would affect many places, and Iraq could not bear this kind of loss, and there were many people at the top of Iraq who were opposed, and if the United States did not agree, then Iraq had no choice but to adopt the latter way.

In the end, the Americans finally agreed, but they insisted that only one technician should board the submarine and that it should not take more than 10 minutes.

The test is very simple, as long as you hold the instrument and walk around the rear compartment for a week, you can measure it.

When it was getting dark, an Iraqi inspector, wearing a full set of protective clothing, which was the highest level of protection that Iraq had purchased from the West at a high price after the completion of the nuclear reactor, was shrouded in this protective suit, and carried a suitcase and hand-held terminal detection equipment, and stepped on the nuclear submarine.

Although Iraq's own nuclear submarines are still very far away, this is a rare opportunity to observe the structure of Western nuclear submarines, so Iraq will never let go of this opportunity, and it is not so easy to enter Iraq's shipyards, for example, Iraqi personnel have to inspect the submarine.

Hajshafi, the chief engineer of the Iraqi shipyard, is an Arab engineer who has held important positions in the French shipyard, after the start of the construction of the Iraqi shipyard, under the call of President Qusay, returned to the Middle East, served as the chief engineer of the Iraqi shipyard, and together with the Chinese personnel, he was responsible for the manufacture of Iraqi missile boats, and the civilian project, which was completely in charge of Hajshafi, as a chief engineer, he was very interested in the design and construction of ships, especially military ships, and, He has a very good memory and never forgets it.

Wearing a full set of protective suits, the people on the Baton Ruri nuclear submarine, who only thought that he was an ordinary skilled worker, wore navy short sleeves, looked at this fully protected person, and began to test inside the nuclear submarine. rq
