Chapter 1006: Killing 70% of the army

Gershm Base.8 9 Views

A main runway that is several thousand meters long looks particularly conspicuous from the air, just like a non-sinking aircraft carrier. This is the base of the Iraqi Navy Aviation Forces.

In the sky, several silver fighter jets were flying lightly, and below them was the blue Arabian Sea.

From the appearance, these fighters are different from any existing fighter in the world. They are average, with a medium aspect ratio swept-type single wing, large swept-type single vertical tail, single ventral fin, and air intake on both sides, and a bee waist-shaped fuselage.

In the cockpit, the Iraqi pilot in the front cabin said on the radio: "Note that you are about to arrive at the base ahead, keep the formation, first pass by the base, and then land in order."

They need to show off once above the base.

The Iraqi aviation force, led by President Kusai, has become a brave and Westernized force, which is completely different from the dogmatic Eastern army. This time, they were very excited to fly this fighter jet. The squadron leader used this method to express their condolences to those who were greeting below.

Because their fighter jet this time is another powerful attack aircraft newly equipped by the Iraqi Navy Aviation Corps, the J-H-7!

After nearly three years of test flight, the J-H-7 finally completed all test flight projects, including stall tail spin and other subjects. During the entire test flight of the J-H-7, test pilots Lu Jun, Yang Xiaobin and navigator Tang Chunwen successively sacrificed their young lives. Their ages when they died were 38 years old, 39 years old and 45 years old.

In the development of fighter jets, the slamming of the aircraft and the sacrifice of test pilots are inevitable accidents. They sacrificed their precious lives for the emergence of this powerful fighter jet and the national defense cause. Their sacrifice was exchanged for the final maturity of the J-H-7.

Thanks to the powerful capital injection from Iraq, this fighter jet has been several years ahead of the history of later generations.

During the production process of Feibao, the engine has always been a big problem. With the investment of Iraq, this engine can also be independently developed on the production line in Xi'an.

The SBE engine was completely a delayed model. At that time, the state invested funds to introduce military SBE contracts for 76.79 million pounds. In order to establish the SBE production line, the State Council allocated 100 million pounds to technically transform the Xi'an Engine Company and related auxiliary machinery factories. This money was converted to 1.2 billion RMB according to the foreign exchange system at that time.

A complete set of drawings, special equipment, and special materials imitate the SBE engine, but in the 1980s, it was left unresolved. Later, when Feibao formed the army, he used the engine that had been in stock for more than ten years. Later, he actually purchased the retired engine sealed in the UK and used it after repair.

Kusai absolutely does not allow such a situation to happen. With repeated negotiations from Iraq, the imitation of this engine has been put on the right track. Finally, domestic rough production can be used to produce qualified engines. Through various rigorous experiments, it is equipped on the newly factory J-H-7 fighter jet.

Not only that, in the process of producing JH-7, many of the JH-7 avionics equipment used Iraqi products, especially fire control radar and other components, which have made great progress compared to the JH-7 in history. It not only has sea attacks, but also land attacks, but also has great performance.

For sea attacks, you can use c801 and c802 anti-ship missiles. These Iraq have corresponding models. For land attacks, Iraq can use its own Red Bird series cruise missiles, laser guided bombs, air-to-ground missiles, ordinary free-fall bombs, etc., and can also mount navigation and aiming pods to achieve more functions, such as ultra-low altitude penetration.

This type of aircraft has surpassed the J-H-7 in history and reached the improved A-type level, most of which are obtained by the advancement of electronic technology.

During the continuous test flight of the aircraft, Iraq's naval aviation sent some excellent pilots to Xi'an aircraft to learn the full set of technology of this aircraft. Therefore, after producing the J-H-7 on the production line, they flew more than a dozen times in Xi'an and had fully mastered the flight technology. They could fly the plane by themselves, first arrive at Pakistan from Xi'an, and then return from Pakistan to their own base.

In the distance, Gershm Island is getting closer and closer, and you can see the long runway clearly.

"Reduce the altitude to three hundred meters." Imad said in the radio.

At this time, the sound of ground guiding came from the headphones: "Be careful to keep the sliding line and land in order.

On the runway, Major General Saad Dean, commander of the Iraqi Navy Air Force, raised his telescope and looked at the fighter jets that were about to come back. This means that the number of fighter jets under his command will increase again.

President Kusai was unwilling to allocate a few more fighter jets to himself, especially the powerful Phantom 4000 fighter jets. In this way, when encountering a battle for air supremacy at sea, the Iraqi Navy Air Force will definitely not be able to complete it and will rely on the help of the air force.

Saad knew that President Kusai must have his own plan. In this regard, even if he asked President Kusai to ask for it, he would probably not give it to him.

What he didn't know was that President Kusai planned for his naval aviation, the main fighter jet, was another of the best fighter jets in the world, Su-27k!

In Kusai's mind, the Su-27k is the most suitable carrier-based fighter aircraft for Iraqi Navy aviation. This is a plan that has been decided when the aircraft carrier is ordered, and this cannot be changed.

This is an excellent air-control fighter, and its purpose is to seize air supremacy. In this regard, it conflicts with the function of the Phantom 4000. Iraq is equipped with two heavy air-control fighters at the same time, which will bring logistical complexity. Therefore, Kusai decided that after the Su-27k was introduced in the future, the Air Force would continue to use the Phantom 4000, the Navy used the Su-27k and the land-based Su-27 fighter that may be introduced one after another.

Medium-sized multi-purpose fighter jets have always been supported by the light F-20. Later, they will gradually transition to the J-10. Medium-sized fighter jets such as the J-10 are completely suitable for future choices of fighter jets, and the F-20 will gradually fade out of the Air Force sequence after reaching its service life.

After the development of the J-H-7 and 10 models, Iraq will accumulate experience in designing aircraft and can try to develop a model, such as advanced advanced trainers. Then, when the Soviet Union collapses, a large number of personnel will be hired from the Sukhoi Design Bureau and the Mikoyan Design Bureau to enter Iraq to preside over the development of the fourth-generation fighter jet.

f-22 will be Iraq's future opponent.

The J-H-7, a very cost-effective fighter, is equipped with naval aviation troops. They use Geshm Island as their base and the maritime targets within a radius of 1,500 kilometers are all their targets of attack, which greatly improves Iraq's sea control ability.

Imad is not as far-scheming as President Kusai. He only knows that his subordinates now have several more planes.

"Why don't you put the landing gear? The tower, notify them." Imad's face changed slightly when he saw the planes with flat belly in the telescope.

He absolutely cannot allow such a mistake to appear under his hands. The pilots are usually very arrogant and cannot even master basic flight movements.

At this moment, an words came from the radio that made Imad laugh and cry: "At altitude of fifty, low-altitude open, let the commander know the performance of our fighter aircraft, and salute the commander in our way!"

Then, I saw the fighter jets painted with the Iraqi Navy aviation logo whizzing past from the low altitude at a very high speed.

Picking up the hat from the ground, Imad patted the dirt and put it on his head. When the pilots came down, they "welcome" them well!

The fleet of aircraft rotated in the air and began to land in a skillful posture.

With the arrival of these fighter jets, the Iraqi Navy has added another weapon to attack the sea. When facing the enemy's maritime formation, they have a new sword to break out!

With the strength of Iraq's defense power, President Kusai's thoughts began to gradually become reality. He took step by step, leading the entire Iraq and guiding the entire Arab world, and began to enter glory.

On June 10, 1988, in this hot summer, the Three Gulf Kingdoms, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait announced to the outside world that in order to better promote trade exchanges between countries, reduce prices, and improve people's living standards, the Three Kingdoms plan to complete the use of a currency within three years.

After their outreach, countries in the Middle East, Jordan, Syria, and Iran expressed their support for this plan and hoped to participate.

Other countries have also begun to evaluate whether it is conducive to their own economic development.

Now that the European Unified Monetary Union has not yet begun to enter a substantial process, this sudden plan in the Middle East is indeed shocking enough.

However, the United States is still the first to react.

When they learned that the largest oil countries, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq, were preparing to use a unified currency, the United States immediately held an emergency meeting to discuss the current tensions.

This is definitely not a good signal!

The three countries have rich oil resources and are all influential major countries in the Middle East. If they have developed a unified currency, will there be any greater conspiracy?

The United States is very opposed to Europe's desire to use a unified currency. However, for allies, especially important economic allies of the United States, the United States will at most use a trick behind the scenes and must not take any action on the surface.

However, the United States is not so polite to Arab countries.

Especially what the United States is most unacceptable is that Saudi Arabia is not willing to buy US Treasury bonds! This has never happened before. In the 1970s, when the United States experienced an economic crisis, it was all about Saudi Arabia increasing its holdings of US Treasury bonds and avoiding the crisis.
