The Middle East, for us in the Soviet Union, is very important, this is our passage to the south, from these perspectives, if Iran Lang gets the liberation of Iraq, and can lease the eastern region to us, that is the most meaningful thing for us, but now, we do not see any such expression from Iraq, on the contrary, Iraq is now very hot with the United States, so we need to seriously consider the attitude towards Iraq, for example, to end our arms exports to Iraq, To put pressure on us, Sergei said. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info{{}}

"In that case, it would push all of Iraq to the United States." Gorbachev said that Sergei is also a veteran in the military field, but he is still very inexperienced in politics, and he always looks at problems purely from a personal point of view.

"Do you say, a neutral Iraq, a neutral Middle East is in our interests, or is it in our interests that a Middle East is completely tilted towards the United States?" Gorbachev asked.

"Needless to say, it is enough to say that there are two Saudi Arabia and Kuwait in the Middle East who are pro-American, and if other countries are pro-American, our south will face a serious threat, and Iran was pro-American at the beginning, and we also allocated some energy to guard against Iran, and then Iran became neutral, and our pressure was reduced. {{}}" Sergey said. If the war of invasion of Afghanistan had faced a completely pro-American Iran, then the Soviets would have fought even harder, because the Afghan guerrillas would have received a steady stream of American aid from Iran. It was almost impossible for the Soviets to win that war.

"So, now Iraq. For us, it's still very important. We can make Iraq's attitude toward us more friendly by continuing to export weapons to Iraq, and we can sell arms to bring us closer to Iraq, and we can obtain a valuable source of foreign exchange to carry out our reforms. Wouldn't that be great? Gorbachev said.

Gorbachev's opinion is naturally that it is necessary to maintain close cooperative relations with Iraq and to increase the intensity of assistance to Iraq.

"Iraq has a great appetite for weapons that we traditionally export to the Third World. They don't look down on it at all. Sergey said.

"So, we can export some advanced weapons." Gorbachev said.

Sergei was shocked, should he give Iraq the most advanced weapons of the Soviet Union?

"Our MiG-29, which has just been equipped with troops to form combat effectiveness, should be exported in another two years, waiting until the Su-27 has fully formed combat effectiveness. {{}}" Sergey said.

"MiG-29, Iraq is not interested at all." Gorbachev said he had already sold it.

"You won't say that you want to export the Su-27 to Iraq, right? We have just equipped a few dozen of them, and we are preparing to improve the radar and other electronic equipment..."Sergey had a very good premonition. I am afraid that this is what the general secretary meant, he thought about it and said: "Didn't Iraq want to participate in our satellite navigation project last time?" Perhaps, we can really think about absorbing Iraqi funds..."

The satellite navigation project is too expensive, and due to the tight budget, it can only be delayed again and again, anyway, all the satellites are Soviet, so there is no need to worry about leaks.

Now, the United States has begun to network. The Soviet Union also had to speed up the pace.

For Gorbachev, if he wants to reform and ease the domestic economic situation, then he needs to have enough money, so Gorbachev began to use his brains on how to alleviate the current situation. Iraq is very rich in money, so let's try to attract Iraqi money!

………

In the Abu Garh region in the eastern part of the Hijara Desert, in this oasis in the desert, there are now several huge buildings, one of which has a railroad track leading to an iron tower in the distance, and that iron tower is a launcher.

This is where the Arab countries are autonomously carrying out their space programs, the Arab Space Corporation!

Arab Space Corporation? Still want to work on launch vehicles? For this statement, the first thought of astronauts in all developed countries is that Qusay is crazy.

The launch vehicle is one of the most sophisticated delivery vehicles, for example, when welding a certain line, an extra welding slag will cause the launch to fail. Although the Iraqis can assemble advanced fighters on the production line, there is still a big gap between this and the launch vehicle technology. {{}}

Because, another difficult problem is that Iraq can introduce the production line of fighter planes and assemble fighter planes by itself, but no country will provide the launch vehicle technology, to be precise, up to now, only a handful of countries can launch their own launch vehicles, the United States, the Soviet Union, China, plus the European Space Agency, the Europeans still have to 11 countries to unite to come up with the Arian rocket, the launch vehicle technology, no country will provide, Iraq, just by introducing all kinds of advanced processing equipmentDo you think you have enough power? It's a complete joke!

Iraq does not have any technical reserves, the only thing that can be referred to is probably the Scud missile introduced from the Soviet Union, in fact, the launch vehicle technology was originally from the ballistic missile technology, the Soviet Union launched the first artificial satellite with the Vostok rocket, was modified with an intercontinental missile, but the Scud missile can only be regarded as a tactical missile, from the technology of the Scud missile to the development of the launch vehicle, it will take at least 20 years!

Because, this is a relationship between quantitative change and qualitative change, the Scud missile has less fuel, a small engine, and a short range, so it is not enough to enlarge it correspondingly, and there will be many problems involved in the middle, nor can the range be increased by connecting several Scud missiles in series, and the technology inside it will take years of hard work to explore before it can be rewarded. {{}}

The development of launch vehicles, in fact, and the development of ballistic missiles are the same principle, however, the development of ballistic missiles is for the purpose of delivering nuclear warheads, and only with nuclear weapons do you need ballistic missiles to throw them, and in this current situation, Iraq only has Scuds, or even more advanced Spider missiles, it is enough, there is no need to develop such a perverted existence as intercontinental missiles, is it possible to use high-explosive warheads on intercontinental missiles? The circumferential error of hundreds or even thousands of meters will make it huge cost but have no practical value - other book lovers are reading: a warm winter night.

Until now, Iraq has not taken any step towards nuclear weapons, so the international community has never suspected that Iraq is trying to develop ballistic missiles, which can only be seen as an exaggeration of Iraq, which is competing to be the first in everything, to catch up with the world trend in the field of high technology.

Of course, they don't know that, in fact, the first product of this high-tech company, which is dressed in the legal cloak of the Arab Space Corporation, is an imitation of the DF-3 ballistic missile!

Imitation of the Scud missile is absolutely not allowed, even if it is an advanced spider, it will not be able to enter the eyes of Qusay, the range is too close, only the DF-3, a ballistic missile with four engines in parallel below, can have enough effect on Iraq's space technological progress.

Reverse mapping, thorough understanding of the principle, imitation, and then self-development, this process, Iraq has carried out very solidly, and Iraq also has this strength, because some of Iraq's processing equipment is already more advanced than that of the eastern powers.

Here, the entire Arab space technology talent returned from the developed countries of the West and the local Iraqi scientific research personnel are gathered, and the overall leader of the project is Dr. Saadi.

In one of the large rooms, Saadi is leading the leanest team to overcome the difficulties of replicating the engine.

If you want the rocket to fly, the engine is also the key, the rocket engine is a complex gas-liquid mixing process, many times, there is no model to set, can not be calculated to get, the only thing is experiments, repeated experiments, in order to design the most reasonable engine.

Fortunately, Iraq does not need to carry out this process, because the object of their imitation, the engine of the Dongfeng-3 rocket, has already completely gone through that process.

The engine has been quietly on the test bench, and all kinds of instruments have been connected, and the next thing is to test the performance of the engine produced by Iraq.

Saadi looked at the engine that had been under the strict protection of the firefighting facilities, and was a little excited, after several months of hard work, they had thoroughly understood the technology of this engine, and then, using domestic processing equipment and materials, imitated one.

Now, it's time to ignite and experiment with this engine.

"The tests are complete, the fuel is ready to be refilled, and the experiment is ready to take place." A technician in a white lab coat said.

The aerospace industry is a precision industry, and when everyone comes in, not a single hair can be lost, and all of them have professional white coats on board.

"It's OK to go." Saadi said.

A rocket engine, unlike an aero engine, which requires hundreds of hours of durability testing, only needs to ensure a few hundred seconds of normal operation.

With the operation of the operator, finally, the engine spat out the tongue of fire.

The technician looked at the data on the screen in front of him: "The engine is working properly, the thrust reaches the thrust of the prototype engine." ”

Time passed by a second, and finally, two hundred seconds were up, three hundred seconds were up, and it burned until three hundred and twenty seconds, and the engine stopped.

"Be prepared to check the condition of the engine, if there are cracks and other things appear." Saadi's face wearing a mask showed a smile, the ignition of the engine this time, has been qualified, which means that the moment of Iraq's own production of this kind of liquid medium-range missile will also come sooner, in particular, when they are in reverse mapping, they have already found that some of the equipment on board, such as gyroscopes, are much behind Iraq's existing ones, and after Iraq replaces its own equipment, the accuracy of the missiles will be improved.
