The most important thing for Iraq is the powerful vertically launched anti-aircraft missile, which is a necessary guarantee for the aircraft carrier formation to defend against the enemy's saturation attack. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Only with enough escort ships can the aircraft carrier battle group be powerful.

Therefore, in addition to investing a lot of enthusiasm in nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, Iraq is also very concerned about other supporting ships.

In the Soviet Navy, except for the aircraft carriers, which attracted the most to Qusay, the rest were Glorious-class cruisers.

With a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, the Glorious-class cruiser, anti-ship, anti-submarine, and anti-aircraft performance are excellent, and this warship belongs to the Iraqi Navy, which can make them a world-class navy!

Even Ah San in the east is probably envious.

The Komsomol was started in 84 and launched in 90, and now the construction period is coming to an end. Its construction period is not at all shorter than that of an aircraft carrier. The main reason is that the energy of the shipyard is used to build aircraft carriers, and all departments in the country are also mainly equipped with aircraft carriers.

The fifth Russia, on the other hand, was only started in '88, and the progress of this ship is currently only 45 percent.

That Glorious-class, when the Russian Navy was still mainly focusing on aircraft carriers, got it done and drove back to Iraq first!

Hearing Amir's words, Makarov said: "The warship is almost finished, but the anti-ship missiles on it, for Iraq, cannot be exported, otherwise, Russia will definitely strongly protest." ”

For the USSR, the key tasks of the glorious class. It's anti-ship, so. It is equipped with the swan song of the Red Navy's anti-ship missiles, that is, the Granite anti-ship missiles, and these anti-ship missiles, which are now the killer weapons of the Russian Navy, will definitely not allow a second country to have them, divulging its secrets.

"The anti-ship missiles on it can be dismantled, and those missiles are of no use to us in Iraq." Amir said. Iraq's aircraft carriers are not equipped with such missiles, and other warships are not equipped with the need, not that this kind of missiles are bad, but that Iraq lacks the entire system.

Dismantle anti-ship missiles, those spaces. Iraq will use it to install something new, that is, cruise missiles of Iraq's own production!

The use of warships to carry out ground attacks is a trend in later generations, and don't the Americans often launch Tomahawk missiles on cruisers?

In this way, such warships. will be even more threatening. "In that case, there should be no problem, it can be reported by our shipyard, or you can directly contact our superiors, and the Russian Navy will definitely not pay for the entire ship to buy." Makarov said.

"And. The fifth ship of the Glorious-class, if we Iraq invests. How long will it take to build? Amir continued.

Makarov thought for a moment: "If there are enough funds, it will take two years, and besides, if no one invests in this warship, it will definitely be the fate of being dismantled, so the superiors should be very satisfied that it can be exported." ”

After the talks with Makarov, Ajelina reported to President Qusay in the fastest time that a major project in Ukraine had finally progressed to the final stage!

This is a critical moment related to the centennial development of the Iraqi Navy! At this time, the Iraqi Navy will achieve a leapfrog development!

After Qusay got the news, he couldn't keep his mouth shut for several days, and the era of Iraq's great navy was finally coming.

Now, the first aircraft carrier, Baghdad, is undergoing training, and Iraq's carrier-based aviation is slowly growing out of its infancy. And after the arrival of the second aircraft carrier, Iraq will have two aircraft carrier battle groups.

The most powerful of the two aircraft carrier battle groups, apart from the aircraft carriers, is the Glorious-class cruisers, and the final number that Iraq will obtain will be two or three.

In addition to the cruiser, Ajelina is also talking with shipbuilders about the introduction of the Dreadnought three, which has not yet been built, this kind of specialized air defense destroyer, which will make Iraq's aircraft carrier formation an impregnable wall.

And outside of these large warships, the Modern class and the Dreadnought class, will be the outer escort force of the formation. Although the Iraqi Navy now has only two such warships, Iraq needs at least four of them in its future plans.

Coupled with Iraq's own frigates, the lineup of the aircraft carrier formation will be very powerful.

In order to meet this moment, Iraq began to train its own naval personnel in the mid-80s, and through the naval academy in Basra, a large number of high-level naval personnel with modern knowledge took up their posts, and they took turns to train on several warships and master the essentials of operation. The collapse of the Soviet Union will make its once powerful navy rapidly shrink to a second-rate army, and within a few years, a large number of warships will face the fate of obsolescence, and Iraq can buy enough warships at extremely low prices, which is not difficult at all, and many warships, in fact, are not major failures, but they have no money to repair them.

For example, before the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Black Sea Fleet, the second largest naval fleet of the Soviet Union, had more than 800 warships, including two helicopter carriers, seven cruisers, including one Glorious-class, nine destroyers and other large warships. Since it was the only ice-free port, it was a formidable Soviet force in the Mediterranean.

But now, the fate of the Black Sea Fleet, full of unknowns, still flies the flag of the Soviet sickle axe!

In the face of this second largest fleet, Russia will naturally not give up, so Russia has always declared that the Black Sea Fleet is Russia's maritime constituent force.

But Ukraine will definitely not agree with this, for them, the Black Sea Fleet stationed on the territory of Ukraine, that is completely the property of Ukraine.

The two sides had a big dispute over this. Military personnel cannot interfere in politics, and the commander of the Black Sea Fleet, when he could not conclude whether the Black Sea Fleet belonged to Ukraine or Russia, he had no choice but to have a plan: first hang the Soviet flag temporarily, and wait until the two sides have finished arguing and determining the ownership, and then they will hang the corresponding national flag.

In later generations, in August 92, Russia and Ukraine reached an agreement in Yalta to turn the Black Sea Fleet into a joint Russian-Ukrainian fleet, under the joint command of the two countries. In June 95, the two countries officially decided to split the fleet in two. Due to the disrepair of most of the ships in the fleet, Ukraine receives only 18.3% of the ships, and the rest is sold to Russia at a discount.

Of course, for Qusay, it is not going to watch these ships wait in the Black Sea like this, and it is better to buy them from Ukraine than to let those ships rot! As long as they are given enough money, Ukraine will definitely dare to sell it in order to develop its own economy. When the time comes, they don't care about each other's dog-eat-dog, anyway, they spend money to buy it.

Iraq now has an abundant treasury, and the annual oil income alone is enough for Iraq to become the richest country in the world, and Iraq's current oil income accounts for only about half of them, and Iraq's various manufacturing industries have begun to develop vigorously, and in Iraq's economy, foreign exchange earnings from exports also account for a very important part.

Even aside, Iraq has already made enough money in the previous world economic speculations, so Qusay has long been ready to invest in the current crazy buyout.

Because, now it is not only Qusay who is doing it, the big countries in the East have already stretched out their hands, and the United States and Western Europe have also reached out to dig talents, technology, and equipment!

This is not a friendly match, Kusai has made up his mind, as long as he likes it, he must strike first, and no one can snatch it.

However, the first to send back the news was another delegation led by Hekmat, who, after inspecting the Nitka Training Center in Ukraine, asked President Qusay and gave Ukraine a deposit to buy back the 25 Su-27K fighters remaining at the Nitka Training Center for $30 million each.

These fighters are attached to the Kuznetsov.

Although the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier has been sailed back, the fighters produced for it have not been landed, and the Soviet Union lacked funds, and it was not until two years ago that the allocation came down, and these fighters were produced.

However, after the fighters were produced, they did not fly directly to the aircraft carrier, because the Soviet Union lacked enough carrier-based aircraft pilots, so these fighters first flew to the Nitka training center, and the Soviet aviation units would practice taking off and landing on the simulated deck.

As a result, the Ukrainians were cheapened for nothing, the USSR was divided, and this batch of fighters, Ukraine said that it would not give anything to Russia, unless they took money to buy it.

The Russians naturally disagreed, and after the former brothers separated, they began to constantly fight each other because of the inheritance.

So, Ukraine finally began to be ruthless, since it is on my land, it is mine, you don't give money, you want to take it for nothing? Then I'll just sell it to someone else!

The price offered by Iraq is not low, $30 million per aircraft, which is slightly higher than the cost price.

As a result, the carrier-based aviation of the Iraqi Navy, after having forty Su-27Ks, has another twenty-five, which is enough for two carrier-based aircraft wings, of course, if there is a rotation, then it is better to order another thirty to forty such fighters.

After the Su-27K agreement was reached, it began to fly from Ukraine to the Qeshm Island naval base, the Iraqi Navy, and began to take off again.
