Chapter 651: The Yellow Sparrow Behind (1)
During the eight-year Iran-Iraq war, Iraq and Iran both used this crude surface-to-surface missile to launch at each other's major cities. I don't care about the accuracy at all, as long as it falls in the city. Relying on the technical support of the United States and the Soviet Union, Iraq improved the Scud missile with slightly more advanced technology and a longer range, and launched several hundred Scuds one after another, thus creating conditions for the subsequent peace talks between the two countries.
However, it is not easy to improve the guidance system of such a primitive missile.
The Sino-Subazer researchers, holding the ground design of this missile, also shook their heads again and again. The meeting was held several times before finally deciding on the following two solutions:
First, it buys civilian high-speed running chips from the European, American and Japanese markets, and uses computers to receive the positioning data obtained by inertial measuring instruments. improve the accuracy of missiles by adopting more accurate and faster positioning methods;
Second, improve the missile's tail servo system, which will be the original mechanical transmission mechanism. Advanced telex mechanism is adopted.
These two improvement scenarios. Both can adopt the current mature guidance technology, and it is the only solution that does not perform major surgery on the aerodynamic shape of the missile.
It's just so improved later. The missile, although at the end of the flight, is controlled by a computer. By adjusting the attitude, we can achieve better accuracy than before, but in the end, the performance of the missile itself is too poor, and under ideal conditions, the missile's hitting accuracy can only be improved to within a circumference of 300 meters. As for whether such an effect can be achieved in actual combat, it is still difficult to say.
Originally, after Saddam Hussein's visit to Pakistan, he had already ordered such a large number of improved guidance systems, but unfortunately, for the same reason, Pakistan refused to export them.
It's not that Pakistan didn't give it to them, it's just that a good thing was sold twice for money. Through Shostakovich, Saddam Hussein again acquired these things, only already in the name of the USSR.
When their research progresses and makes a lot of physical land. Shostakovich was active in the Caucasus, the Far East and other places in the Soviet Union, with the acquiescence of the Soviet high-level, and in the ** pursuit of money and beauties by the middle and lower classes. Painstakingly and painstakingly got a large number of advanced equipment of the Soviet army, including anti-aircraft missiles, main battle tanks, and surface-to-surface missiles, which were in service with the Soviet army, onto the high seas. Under the instructions of Mhammad, it took more than 10 days to delay Saddam Hussein's expectations for these arms even more, and then he began the next step.
These arms cannot save Saddam Hussein's fate of eventual defeat, but they can make the US military shed more blood!
Originally, such a treasure in the equipment of the Soviet army as the S300 would never be exported. But now, because of the crossing of Mhammad. The failure of the confrontation with Mhammad also indirectly led to the fact that Marshal Akhromyev and other veteran factions of the Soviet army were purged by Gorbachev, and Marshal Olgakov, the pioneer of the reform and the leader of the new military ideology, who had been excluded and suppressed, was favored by Gorbachev and promoted to Minister of Defense. The reforms within the Soviet army, which had been stopped due to the resistance of the senators, were unswervingly carried out by Marshal Olgakov with the support of Gorbachev.
The Soviet Union lacked a lot of money in the process of military transformation and economic reform, so a large amount of surplus military equipment was sold through open or illegal channels. to get the money that the USSR desperately needed. And this policy was also tacitly approved by Gorbachev and Olgakov. Although the Pakistanis were not easy to come forward, Shostakovich, a former member of the Soviet army, took advantage of his earlier connections in the army. Under the opening of money and beautiful women, they wantonly smuggled all kinds of arms of the Soviet army.
The outbreak of the Gulf War was indeed unexpected by the Soviet Union, and while hating Saddam's behavior of taking matters into his own hands without greeting or disobeying, it was even more resentful of the US imperialists' assembling of multinational forces in the name of justice to teach their younger brother a lesson. Under pressure from the United States, the Soviet Union was the first time in the United Nations that it had expressed the same stance with the United States, acquiescing in the United States' organization of a large number of countries to crusade against Iraq. Through Shostakovich's mediation, acquiescing in the delivery of a large amount of advanced equipment of the Soviet army in service to Saddam Hussein, for the Soviet Union, it is not a feasible way to effectively confront the United States and maintain its influence in the Middle East.
Iraq, NATO's air strikes, are still continuing.
"O true God Almighty, guide me to defeat those hateful enemies"
Saddam Hussein prayed reverently in the halal chamber of his vault.
F15, F16, F14, F18, F117, B1B, B52, Whirlwind, ......, multinational force fighters rained down a large number of missiles and laser-guided bombs on the heads of his troops as if they didn't want money.
And the MiG and Mirage fighters that Saddam Hussein had high hopes for really broke his heart.
Saddam Hussein once thought that the MiG fighters he bought at a high price and hired the pilots of the Warsaw Pact to fly them, even if he could not fully compete with the US military, at least he could keep the safety of his airspace.
But who would have expected that under the powerful air power of the United States, this advanced MiG-29 fighter was beaten by the F16! Those Warsaw Pact pilots, no one dared to fly planes into the air anymore, and now their role is to train Iraqi pilots as instructors, Iraqi pilots have strong combat **, but now they are not able to independently fly the MiG-29 into the air to fight.
The only thing that made him feel relieved was the Scud missile.
This old-fashioned ballistic missile actually played a huge role, allowing the multinational forces and 80 percent of the planes to search for the traces of the Scuds, which greatly relieved the heavy pressure on the Iraqi army.
It's a pity that the hit rate of the Scud Land is too low, and it can only be intimidated, and it cannot achieve the goal of killing and injuring a large number of the enemy's living forces. Moreover, with the development of the war, the multinational forces led by the US military have also attached more and more importance to the Scud missiles, and the losses have also increased under the continuous search and strike, and although there are still quite a few Scud missiles in stock, they are not enough to defeat the US military.
I knew that he shouldn't have spent a lot of money on more ballistic missiles than a few dozen damn MiG-29s!
Alas, but thank God Almighty! At the critical moment, the Soviets did not abandon him after all!
"Report to the president, Mr. Xiao sent a message that Apple has arrived in Syria and asks us to send someone to pick up the goods." In the midst of the rumbling explosions, Saddam received news that excited him.
Apple has arrived! Saddam Hussein remembered the fighters he received last time, but they didn't play a corresponding role, and his suspicious personality appeared in his mind again, shouldn't there be a problem with these equipment?
"Your Excellency, I am Shostakovich, whom we have met before" Shostakovich infiltrated Iraq and met Saddam Hussein at this time of intense war.
"Mr. Xiao, these things will no longer be monkey versions," Saddam Hussein said with some concern, mainly because the Soviet Union's foreign arms sales policy was too cheating and tireless. For example, the T72B tank equipped with its own equipment is a real composite armor and thermal imager, while the armor materials of the T72M sold to Iraq, Syria and other countries are all inferior goods, it is said that it is filled with sand, and it is still using old infrared headlights! This time, the MiG-29, which was blown very evilly, turned out to be buried in the sand in order to prevent it from being attacked by the US Air Force.
"Your Excellency, please rest assured, we are here in good faith, last time we underestimated the air force of the United States, and after we have conducted an assessment, we have regained what Iraq needs most, these are samples, please take a look at them first" Shostakovich motioned for someone to bring in a wooden box.
Saddam Hussein pointed to the wooden box suspiciously and asked, "......What is this?"
The wooden box is not large. It's only forty or fifty centimeters in size, and it's not a very heavy thing.
Shostakovich laughed: "The sample I brought this time, this is a specially improved navigation system based on the characteristics of the Scud missile, it can guarantee that your missile, the error does not exceed a hundred meters!" I believe that with this guidance system, you will definitely be able to give the US military an extremely heavy blow! ”
Saddam Hussein's face was overjoyed.
A hundred meters of error, that's quite high. Within this margin of error, the Scud would blow up the U.S. military to the ground. It is even possible to force the US military to fight on the battlefield of their choice through the continuous bloodletting of them!
This is too meaningful!
He was overjoyed and asked a series of questions: "These guidance systems are too important, but we also need experts in retrofitting Scud missiles, how many people can you invite?" We also need specialized air defense systems to help us repair air defense systems, and we have absolute confidence that the Americans will be defeated! ”
Air defense system!
A few years ago, Iraq bought a batch of laser printers, and as a result, the hateful businessmen were manipulated by the CIA to plant computer viruses into the laser printers, and when these laser printers were used in air defense systems, the virus quietly lurked. After the start of the Gulf War, Iraq's air defense system, which had invested huge sums of money and countless manpower and material resources, was instantly turned into a pile of waste by the virus, and was wantonly attacked by the air power of the multinational force, until Saddam Hussein spent a lot of money to recruit several internationally renowned computer technology experts (hackers), reformatted the computers of the air defense system, and installed a new firewall to isolate the damn computer viruses and reluctantly restore the operation of the air defense system.
Shostakovich pretended to be reserved, and muttered: "Experts will also come, as for the air defense system, those S300 missiles are operated independently, and they will definitely be able to help you fight against the fighters of the multinational force, and the weapons we have agreed on are all ready on the Iraq-Syria border, and can only be collected by the most elite troops led by your most trusted person, after receiving it, please put the payment into our designated account, a total of 12 billion US dollars!"
