On July 15, 1984, Reagan defeated his challenger, Mondale, and won a second term as president, ushering in the next Reagan era in the United States. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧

On this day, the ups and downs of the Middle East, by Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait and Jordan, four countries, set up a new organization, called the Arab Cooperation Pact, they announced that they will carry out a series of economic and military cooperation, at the present stage, they will carry out military air defense system joint and joint financing, set up an Arab space company, develop their own launch vehicles.

On this day, the United States also announced that it would impose a series of sanctions on Iraq, which attacked Israel some time ago, including terminating all weapons programs, and NATO member states should not export all kinds of weapons and high-tech products to Iraq.

In the face of the coming NATO sanctions, the countries of the Middle East showed a very strong reaction, after the United States announced the news, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other major oil-producing countries, announced another oil production cut, all countries that imposed sanctions on Iraq, they will suspend the export of oil to these countries.

In fact, in the cooperation projects between Iraq and Western countries, the main one is the United States, Iraq's F-20 fighter planes are the product of the main honeymoon period with the United States, followed by France, but France is not a NATO country, so France agrees with the United States on the surface, but in fact, it will not make any restrictions, on the contrary, taking advantage of the opportunity that the United States does not allow Western countries to export weapons to Iraq, France just grabs a larger market share and becomes Iraq's main arms supplier. ≦≧

Germany, Britain and other countries, cooperation with Iraq, had to be terminated for the time being, however. Prior to this, the German fire control system, Iraq already had enough spare parts in reserve, and the production of the T-72 could continue until next year.

As for the United Kingdom, two sets of equipment for the Hunter AWACS aircraft have already arrived in Shanghai and are ready to be loaded on two Y-10 aircraft, and the British sanctions against the United States were implemented relatively quickly, and the technical personnel were withdrawn, but. At this time, Iraqi technicians had already thoroughly understood all the technologies of the early warning plane. Moreover, all kinds of technical data are relatively complete, so the modification of these two AWACS aircraft is still ongoing.

NATO can sanction Iraq. ≦≧However, the homegrown British company, Oscentage Electronics, will not be affected in any way, so the bridge between Kusai and Western advanced technology blends. It's still there.

After the establishment of the Arab Cooperation Pact, the remaining Arab countries expressed their intention to join.

Just when the West began to sanction Iraq. From the north, there is even more shocking news, the Red Empire, will carry out a large-scale sale to Iraq!

The Soviet Union was to export to Iraq helmet-mounted sights and R-73 combat missiles to improve the air combat performance of aircraft, which could be installed on Iraqi Soviet-style fighters. As well as on the F-20 and Mirage 4000 fighters on Iraq's own production lines. The Soviet Union provided Iraq with non-ferrous metal smelting equipment, various high-grade metal raw materials for aircraft engines that Iraq could not produce for the time being, and titanium alloy blanks. As well as a series of other arms sales projects, the Soviet Union will provide Iraq with two heavy water reactors, one on the outskirts of Baghdad and one next to Zubayer, to provide electricity to Iraq's new factories in those two places and alleviate the power shortage in both places.

The last news, like a bombshell, is the contempt of the USSR for US sanctions, the US wants to sanction Iraq, why not sanction Israel? Israel has developed nuclear weapons! In the Cold War, Israel and Iraq became the focus of the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, respectively, and the Soviet Union announced its attitude in this unique way. ≦≧

The United States wants sanctions, then, the USSR will help, and what the USSR sanctions, the USSR will provide!

The United States tried in vain to pass sanctions on Iraq, so that even if Iraq had a fighter production line, it would be stopped because of the lack of raw materials, but they miscalculated this time, those raw materials, the Soviet Union has! The USSR could provide! And the precision processing equipment has arrived in Iraq, as long as there are raw materials, Iraq can produce!

Of course, the Soviet Union still could not provide assistance with some components, for example, the radar electronics of the F-20 fighters, which the Soviet Union could not provide.

However, the wishful thinking of the United States has come to naught.

The eyes of those NATO countries that follow the United States are red, the Soviet Union even sold nuclear reactors to Iraq, and they can't even sell a single screw, because this screw may be used in Iraq's weapons. ≦≧ they also have to endure the subsequent reduction in oil production due to the sanctions against Iraq, and the high price of their own oil, all because Iraq attacked Israel.

In fact, all the countries of Western Europe are thinking, this time Iraq attacked Israel, even if some of its actions went too far, it is also in common sense, Iraq only killed Israel's nuclear base, and Israel also killed Iraq's nuclear reactors, the two sides are even, why do they have to sanction? Originally, Iraq was gradually getting closer to the West, but what good is it for the West that such an act of the United States has forcefully pushed Iraq to the Soviet Union? Just for Iraq to attack Israel? If Israel had not done the underground nuclear test first, would there be so much trouble?

Seeing that those businesses could not be done, that the Soviets were cheaper, that the French were cheaper, but that they could not do it themselves, that arms groups in Western Europe had their eyes straightened.

They don't know that there is also a reason why the USSR was so generous. ≦≧

Qusay stepped up and helped the Soviets take out Israel's nuclear facilities, doing the Soviets a great favor, and after the fact, voluntarily admitted that he had done it. Although there have been incessant suspicions from military observers that Iraq does not have such capabilities, and that the second batch of missiles was not carried out by Iraq when it came from the direction of the Mediterranean, there is no official argument.

After that, a series of sanctions by the United States were caused by Iraq's attack, so the Soviet Union opened technical barriers and finally agreed to export helmet sights and R-73 missiles to Iraq.

Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and Iraq has to exchange it for the wreckage of the blackbird, and Iraq has paid a high price for the import of these things.

The import of other things, Iraq also spends a lot, this is a helpless choice, the United States sanctions, although it seems to be vigorous, but on Iraq, has not had a great impact, on the contrary, it has aroused the ambition of Iraq's domestic scientific and technological workers, and they have worked hard to complete the localization rate of various weapons imported from outside, and finally reached 100 percent!

Moreover, the facts have also confirmed the correctness of His Excellency Qusay's policy, if Iraq buys all weapons from foreign countries, then foreign sanctions can bring down Iraq's powerful army, but now, Iraq can minimize this impact.

As for the nuclear reactor, it was a project that Gorbachev decided on after taking the initiative to talk to Cusay, because the two sides need to make a strong response to the US sanctions, and there is nothing more powerful than a nuclear reactor. Moreover, Iraq is a member of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and is well placed to possess such civilian nuclear reactors, which will be monitored by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and guaranteed that they will not be used for other purposes.

After thinking about it, Qusay agreed to the friendly proposal of the Soviet Union, because these two places will continue to carry out various industrial construction in the future, and the problem of power shortage will become more and more serious, and the nuclear power plant can provide clean energy for these places, and this is indeed a quite powerful counterattack, letting the United States know that Iraq will never compromise under US pressure on certain issues.

Of course, this will also gradually stand on the opposite side of the United States, which is actually not Qusay's original intention, originally Qusay wanted to get all kinds of benefits from the left and right in the struggle for hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union, but no one got too close. However, in the specific operation, various problems have arisen.

For example, Israel, the hegemon of the Middle East, has nuclear weapons, and Iraq has no choice but to do so, which will provoke the United States.

Because of this problem, Iraq is drifting away from the United States, but its relations with the Soviet Union are closer, but it is okay to do so, and now we have good relations, and in a few years, we will wait to move half of the Soviet Union back to Iraq!

……… Surrounded by some green water, occasionally plankton swim by, sunlight is composed of seven colors of light, among them, the ability of red light to penetrate the water is the weakest, a few meters deep underwater, red light can not reach, the penetration ability of green light can reach more than 100 meters, in this dozens of meters deep seabed, green is the most common color.

Kochakin, a Soviet Navy diver who graduated from the Kronstadt Naval Submarine Academy and is now a special operator of the PDSS Underwater Special Operations Forces of the Black Sea Fleet, is searching underwater with his companions.

If you want to become a diver, you need to pay a lot of hard training, but underwater, it is also full of dangers.

He was wearing a tight black wetsuit, and instead of a cylindrical oxygen tank, he carried a backpack-like square container with two tubes that led to a combination of diving goggles and an underwater breathing apparatus in front of him, with the mirror wrapping around his nose and using his mouth to suck on the integrated breathing gear.

No bubbles flew out of the top of his head.

He used a new type of underwater breathing equipment developed by the Soviet Union, using oxygen cylinders, easy to spit out bubbles, exposing his position, he carried on his back, diving fully enclosed rebreathing system, with carbon dioxide filter tubes, the exhaled air through filtration, recirculation, so no blisters will not expose the target will not affect the field of vision and shooting, is the highest level of Soviet diving equipment.
