War is just an extreme measure taken to achieve a certain political goal, and these are ultimately for the purpose of serving the economy, what Iraq needs is not to confront the United States, but to seize the time of the past few years and continue to develop itself, the nineties is an era of rapid economic development! When Iraq, when the entire Arab world has truly become an economic power, it will be easy to solve the Israeli problem. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Confronting the United States arouses the Arab world's strong antipathy towards the United States, branding himself as an anti-American person, and gaining the approval of the Arab world.

Disputes and cooperation coexist, everything looks forward, the development of their own national economy, and the improvement of the industrial level of the entire Arab world, which are the most urgent problems for them to solve.

And for Iraq, at this stage, the most important thing is to digest and integrate the precious wealth left by the collapse of the Soviet Union! Of course, these valuable assets do not refer to money, but to people and technology.

With the easing of contradictions with the United States and the increase of cooperation, Iraq has ushered in another stage of rapid development. This period is a peak period of rapid development for the United States, and for Iraq, why not?

For Iraq, it is absolutely not an exaggeration to describe this change as earth-shaking.

March 1995, Southern Iraq, Arab Space Corporation.

Here, a large launch pad was newly erected, which, of course, was not developed by the Arab Space Corporation itself, but was transferred from the Baikonur Space Center in Kazakhstan, but before the transfer, this launch pad was never used, and it was the same as new.

This launch pad is specially made, and three of these large launchers were created in the first place, just to launch one thing, and that is the Buran space shuttle!

The Buran space shuttle was a swan song of the Soviet space program. Its birth was incomparably brilliant, but its ending, like the shattered Soviet Union, was on the verge of being almost abandoned.

In the history of human exploration of the universe, it is divided into two systems: unmanned spaceflight and manned spaceflight, and manned spaceflight technology is now only mastered by the United States and Russia.

The two are equivalent to two generation differences, spacecraft, is sitting on the top of the launch vehicle, like launching a satellite, being launched into space, and after re-entering the atmosphere, like a re-entry satellite, it is recovered by parachute, in this way, the load will not be too large, for example, the Soyuz spacecraft, is the working mechanism of the trio.

The space shuttle is different, the space shuttle is more like an airplane, the front is a living space for seven people, the middle is a cargo compartment, it can launch satellites, or you can use a robotic arm to recover the faulty satellite into the cargo hold, and then, after space maintenance, and then launch it in space, in this way, the faulty satellite will be brought back to life, and the effect is huge.

For example, the Hubble Space Telescope, after it was in space, was discovered to have a loophole in the construction process, making the huge cost of the space telescope unusable. The Space Shuttle used this method to successfully repair the telescope.

In this regard, Russia is lagging behind, however, Russia, which has inherited the mantle of the Soviet Union, is still at the forefront in terms of space stations, and the Mir space station has roamed in space for more than ten years. Basically, every working group needs to stay on it for half a year, and several of the cosmonauts, before going to space, were Soviets, and when they came down, they were surprised to find that they had become Russians.

It is already very good that Russia can launch two spacecraft a year to maintain the normal operation of the Peaces space station, and it is simply impossible to invest money to continue the Soviet-era space shuttle project, that is, the Buran project.

The project of the space shuttle, the USSR was not later than the United States, and since the sixties there has been a spiral project for the pre-development of the space shuttle. Finally, in the mid-70s, after the United States began to develop the space shuttle, the Soviet Union began the development program of the space shuttle in accordance with the principle and policy that the United States has and must have. It was solely responsible for the development of the Buran space shuttle, and the supporting launch vehicle was developed by the Southern Machine-Building Plant in Ukraine.

And in order to transport this big guy, the Antonov Design Bureau designed the largest transport aircraft on the planet, the An-225 Dream, which can fly the Buran on its own back.

With an investment of nearly 10 billion rubles, the Buran space shuttle finally carried out its only unmanned launch test flight in 88 years and achieved complete success, after which it was put on hold in the gradually turbulent politics of the Soviet Union and in the deteriorating economy.

The Buran space shuttle, very similar in appearance to the American space shuttle, has a total length of 40 meters, a height of 16 meters, a fuselage diameter of 5.6 meters, a wingspan of 24 meters, a payload cargo compartment diameter of 4.7 meters, a length of 18.3 meters, can send 30 tons of payload into low orbit, can transport back 20 tons of cargo, the crew compartment volume is 70 cubic meters, can be used by 2 to 4 astronauts, and another 6 seats are used by the crew, including in addition to the captain and pilot, there are 2 satellite repair personnel and 1 manipulator operator, There are 2 to 3 scientific researchers. The total take-off weight of the whole aircraft is 105 tons, and the landing weight is 82 tons.

If such a thing is abandoned, and it finally disappears from people's sight because of the collapse of the factory, leaving only the last one, which was bought by the Germans as an exhibition, its fate is embarrassing, and at the same time, it is also what Qusay does not want to see.

As a result, Russia's space program has stalled in the face of its current shortage of funds, and last year, they could not even afford to build a Soyuz spacecraft, so the Mir space station had to be temporarily mothballed and turned into an uninhabited celestial palace.

Russia knew that in the last ten years, its space program would probably not receive too much allocation, so it finally agreed to the request of the Iraqi side, and Iraq invested two billion dollars to take over the project in full, and the project was also moved back to the Arab Space Corporation, including the technical personnel of the entire Mornia Commonwealth, and packaged back to Iraq.

This deal is a great deal. For Russia, this two billion dollars is definitely not a small number, it means that many of Ye Litie's reform plans can be continued.

Now Ye Litie has been shattered from the illusion of the West at the beginning, and he already knows that if he wants Russia to regain its strength, the West cannot be relied on, and can only rely on itself. It is very cost-effective to sell what is no longer needed, and which will be reactivated later, and which has long been outdated, in exchange for the money they desperately need.

Iraq bought a lot of things from Russia, such as Su-27K fighters, and ordered a new batch of twenty-four, and the Sukhoi Design Bureau has always been operating normally, if it were not for foreign arms sales, then Russia would have gone bankrupt long ago.

When the Soviet Union was developing this project, it had already invested $10 billion, and now Iraq has taken over it with only $2 billion, which is completely the price of a cabbage, and you must know that the value of this for Iraq's space industry is immeasurable.

Iraq wants to ascend to the sky in one step, it is absolutely impossible for itself, and can only rely on external technology, at this time, to take over this stalled Buran project, so that Iraq's aerospace industry has developed by leaps and bounds.

At present, Iraq's space program can already launch near-earth satellites, which is almost entirely the result of Iraq's independent research and development, and the liquid rocket developed on the basis of the DF-3, but its thrust is limited, and its role for Iraq is to let them go through a road from imitation to self-production.

At the same time, on the basis of the solid RSD-10 Pioneer missile, Iraq successfully obtained a solid ICBM by increasing the number of stages, which gave Iraq its own killer weapon, and for Iraq, its significance is even more significant, if it were not for the appearance of this missile, it would not be able to effectively deal with the nuclear deterrence of the United States.

Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Iraq had only these two systems, but since then, Iraq's technology has made greater progress, and they have welcomed many rocket experts, almost all of whom came from Ukraine's Southern Machine-Building Plant.

The Southern Machinery Factory is a famous rocket base of the Soviet Union, and the Cosmos, "Hurricane-2", "Hurricane-3", "Zenith" and other types of carrier rockets are all produced by the factory, but now the Soviet Union does not have them, and the manufacture of these rockets has also become single digits, or even 0, which has led to the difficult survival of this manufacturing plant, and the loss of a large number of technical personnel.

The Arab Space Corporation has grown dramatically, and now, they have finally welcomed the first flight of their most important project, the Buran space shuttle!

This flying machine, if fundamentally, was not entirely produced in Iraq, it was the successors of the unfinished construction of the Soviet era. (To be continued.) Please search, the novel is better and faster!)
