Chapter 443: Dealing with Silkworm Babies
readx;
After the original got the Kuwaiti oil tanker was attacked, after sending off the Chinese ambassador to Iraq, Qusay also urgently held a meeting&1&Original debut]
"This time the Iranians made a big mistake, they dared to attack the Kuwaiti oil tankers, and this will definitely attract strong opposition from the international community. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧," Barzan said.
"Yes, in this case, for our attack on Iran, there is no country to talk about, Allah willing, how can they do such a thing!" Watban also said.
They mean that Qusay knows very well that Iran is doing a lot of public anger this time, he is hitting Kuwaiti oil tankers, affecting the world's oil prices, which country will give Iran a good face?
They stood tall and looked far away, but they looked at the real threat before them.
"Guys, the first question we need to discuss now is not how much trouble Iran will have, but how we will deal with it." "Our tankers are also going to pass through the Strait of Hormuz!" ”
Are the Iranians so stupid to come up and attack Kuwaiti tankers? Qusay has already studied it, and at that time, in that position, there should have been another Iraqi oil tanker sailing by, that is, Iran attacked, most likely, a ship transporting its own oil!
After receiving Tariq's report, Qusay knew that the tragic ship raid battle in history had finally begun, and there was no winner in this ship raid war. ≦≧
In order to win, both Iran and Iraq attacked each other's oil tankers, and by the way, they took oil tankers from other countries with them, and the result was that the ship attack war led to a sharp decline in the oil exports of the two countries. The economies of both sides have been hit hard, and neither has benefited.
And now. For Iraq, it is simply fatal, because Iraq's goal is to occupy all of Iran's major oil-producing province of Khuzestan, and the oil export in this region can no longer be exported by land pipelines. It is only possible to ship directly inside the port of the Abadan refinery.
So, this waterway is very important for Iraq, although Qusay is doing all kinds of other ways to make money, but. Iraq is currently the first largest financial expenditure. Still oil exports.
There are so many projects in Iraq, there are only three fighter jets, F20, Super Seven and Mirage 4000, these are all projects that require a lot of investment, and if the oil exports are blocked by the Iranians, then these projects in Iraq. ≦≧ will be affected.
"Our navy, which patrols around the Faw Peninsula, can't go that far, and our fighters don't have that long range. Even over the strait, the cruising time is very short, so we want to protect our tankers from attack. Somewhat difficult. Defense Minister Adnan said.
It was relatively far from Iraq, even with warplanes taking off from Basrah airbase. I also have only a limited amount of free time and want to patrol there for a long time. It is somewhat difficult to protect your own tankers.
It is appropriate to escort the ship with ships, but, alas, the Iraqi army is only a coast guard.
"Perhaps, we can send special forces over, our Moon special forces and Sidewinder special forces, are fully capable of undertaking this mission, let them find the opponent's anti-ship missile firing device, and then blow it up." Rashid said.
These two special forces are now the leading soldiers in Iraq's defense forces. ≦≧
Special operations, I'm afraid no one is familiar with Qusay, but for the use of special forces for such operations, Qusay knows that it is still full of great dangers.
Because, it is too far away from Iraq, in the Iran-Iraq war, for the area close to the Iraqi border, there are Iraqi special forces everywhere, they are very familiar with this side, even in the central Isfahan region, special forces have been to it several times, but there, it is already their limit.
The eastern part of Iran, the current situation is still very stable, it is a strange place for the Iraqi special forces, in particular, the distance from Iraq is so far away, once they are in danger, they can only rely on themselves, they will not call for air support, there will be no helicopters to pick them up, if they are surrounded by the Iranian army, the fighters of the special forces are also people, not supermen.
"Special forces can be dispatched, but they must be well planned and well prepared to avoid unnecessary casualties." Qusay said.
The Iranians did have a problem for the invincible Qusay this time, because Qusay did not have a strong navy in his hands!
"Under Qusay, during the last air raid, the Southern Military District dispatched an electrical jammer and successfully jammed the Immortality Bird missiles fired by Iranian Tomcat fighters. ≦≧" Air Force Commander Abid suddenly said such a sentence.
The others were puzzled as to why this Abid had suddenly mentioned this sentence.
Cusai suddenly had a thrill in his heart, he has been paying attention to the battle situation and major events for a period of time, and this kind of detail has become estranged himself.
The anti-ship missiles of the Iranians, although they are huge, but the shortcomings are also very obvious, this is only the first generation of anti-ship missiles of China!
This missile, the ability to resist modern electrical interference is very poor.
In the Third Middle East War, Egypt used the Styx anti-ship missiles to destroy the destroyer "Eilat," which attracted the attention of the world, and in the Fourth Middle East War, Egypt used the Styx anti-ship equipment to effectively interfere with dozens of "Styx" missiles fired by Egyptian and Syrian missile boats, causing none of them to hit.
And this silkworm baby is of the same generation as the River Styx. ≦≧
Despite the fact that the Chinese side advertises that it has strong anti-jamming capabilities and advanced technology, Qusay also knows that this kind of anti-ship missile has long been outdated, which is why he resolutely opposed the purchase of this kind of anti-ship missile in the first place.
Iraq has a technological advantage in this regard, and after the last two electrical interference pods were dropped by the pilot, Joseph developed a full range of electrical interference pods in the leading group.
If Joseph is asked to develop a small jamming device, it does not need full-band jamming, but only needs to jam the missile radar of the Silkworm missile!
However, that would require the Chinese side to provide itself with the characteristics of the guidance signal of the Silkworm missile's missile radar, so that it can be targeted and specifically jammed with this missile, so that they cannot capture the target!
Is the Chinese side willing? It seems that he still has to exert some pressure and add some benefits, after all, in the process of introducing the 801 missile and transforming it, he has established a deep friendship with Liang Lao of the Aviation Academy, this backward missile, he only needs its terminal guidance radar signal, if he can reach a sufficient agreement with the other party, he may still get it, after all, that kind of thing, is still relatively backward.
If the other party refuses to provide it, then only you can get it.
All this will take time, for the time being, that is, let the electric pod work, completely suppress the other side, so that the Iranians have no way to attack their own tankers!
However, if the electric pod is hung on the MiG-23, the range is still not enough, and in order to protect its own tankers, there are only two other ways.
One of them is to install electric pods on Iraq's long-range aircraft: Tu-22 bombers, which have long air periods and can hover over the Strait of Hormuz to provide electrical protection for their tankers at all times.
And the other is installed on the poor few missile boats of the Iraqi Navy, the Wasp class imported from the Soviet Union.
Wasp-class missile boats, with a standard displacement of 171 tons, a full load displacement of 205 tons, a length of 336 meters, a width of 764 meters, a draft of 27 meters, powered by 3 diesel engines, a total of 8025 horsepower, high speed: 35 knots, 4 "Styx" single-unit anti-ship missiles, 2 30-mm two-group naval guns, and a total of 28 naval personnel.
This kind of missile boat, although small, but it is not a problem to reach the Strait of Hormuz, moreover, dismantle two of the Styx missile launchers, you can install electric pods, as long as those electrical components are treated with anti-cháo anti-corrosion, follow the left and right of the tanker formation, provide electrical protection at any time, moreover, the twin naval guns on the missile boats can hit the air, and you can also arrange a certain portable anti-aircraft missile on the missile boat...
Kusai felt like a pauper, but he was trying to figure out how much money he had in his pocket.
Until now, Qusay has really realized that the construction of the Iraqi Navy is urgent!
All along, Qusay hopes to use the funds on the blade and take the lead in arming the air force and the army with modern weapons, but the investment in the navy has always been zero, but now, with the victory of Iraq in the war against Iran, especially the acquisition of such an excellent port as the port of Khomeini, and the acquisition of a not short coastline, the construction of the Iraqi Navy should also be launched!
Iraq's oil tankers need their own country's navy to escort them!
"I will inform the technicians in the south to install our electrical jamming pods on our navy's missile boats, and at the same time, let the tankers in the port delay their departure for a few days until our navy can escort the tankers, and also, we need to inform Kuwait that when they need it, our tankers can safely pass through the Strait of Hormuz under the cover of the navy and even our air force, so that our special forces are ready to dispatch that area at any time and blow up the other side's missile launchers." Qusay said.
Although the fighter flew over and only had a few minutes of fuel, as long as the time was well grasped, it could still provide cover for the tanker.
And this Kuwaiti injury has made Iraq, which has always been supported by Kuwait, feel a little uneasy, especially last time, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia once again assisted Iraq with $500 million, and now, if Iraq has the ability, of course, it will protect Kuwait's oil tankers together.
