Chapter 1009 Arab Naval Exercises
Chapter 1009 Arab Navy Exercise
"The current situation, we must prove to Saudi Arabia and other countries. We will not be afraid of US armed interference. We have the ability to protect our allies. 8 9 Reading The key is that we must have this courage. If we retreat at this time, then all our previous efforts will be in vain." Kusai said: "However, we must pay attention to certain strategies. On the one hand, on the other hand, after we have achieved certain achievements in the confrontation, we will eventually sit on the table. We in Iraq can symbolically purchase some US government bonds, and at the same time, we will also invest our funds in their stock markets to help them save the market. Let the United States know that we will never surrender under their force. At the same time, we are willing to continue to maintain a good relationship with them. In this way, the Reagan administration will definitely recognize the situation. Otherwise, they will only turn us into the arms of the Soviet Union."
When the modern-class ship was dispatched, Kusai had deep considerations. As soon as this warship was deployed, in addition to the powerful power of the supersonic anti-ship missile, on the other hand, this means that Iraq could rely on the Soviet Union.
This warship was forcibly seized by Iraq. The Soviet Union owed Iraq's debts. Although these reasons are far-fetched, they are reasonable. Now, Iraq is hiring some Soviet people to operate this warship to participate in this exercise, which is equivalent to the Soviet Navy participating in the exercise. No matter what the Americans think, they must recognize this.
Does the United States really dare to launch a war of aggression? Kusai believes that the United States does not dare, as long as Iraq is not absolutely disobedient. Because the United States has no legitimate reason, and the Soviet Union is still here, and the United States is not a superpower in later generations. The United States is just exerting the most powerful pressure with their actions. After all, Iraq is not Libya.
Strategically, we must despise the enemy and tactically, we must pay attention to the enemy. Iraq has confronted the US Navy more than once. The blood of Iraqi soldiers is always hot.
After the plan was completed, Iraq immediately told Saudi Arabia and Kuwait about Iraq's maritime military exercises.
What Kusai did not expect was that after hearing about it, King Fahd resolutely decided to send a warship from the Saudi Navy to participate in the exercise in Iraq.
King Fahd's attitude surprised and moved Kusai very much, which shows that Saudi Arabia has firmly stood in Iraq's camp, and even broke with the United States at critical moments.
For Saudi Arabia, this is a matter of serious interference in the United States in their internal affairs. The economic matters decided by Arab countries have nothing to do with the United States, but the attitude of the United States has shown that they are definitely not good bodyguards, and if they are not done well, they will be devoured at any time.
At this time, Iraq's determination and courageous style showed proved that Saudi Arabia's choice was nothing wrong.
At this time, a united Arab world is very important.
On June 15, Iraq issued a statement that on June 20, a maritime military exercise will be held outside the Gulf of Oman and in the Arabian Sea. More than a dozen warships, including the Modern Class, and naval aviation.
At the same time, on June 22, the Arab Space Company will test-fire a rocket developed by the Arabs completely independently.
When the news came, the entire Persian Gulf once again became the focus of the world's attention.
The Arabs wanted to build their own unified currency. This plan made Europeans very envious because they had been planning for decades, but it has not been implemented yet because there are many places that need coordination between them.
Europeans want to develop this plan, but the ultimate goal is to establish a unified Europe. Their goal is actually very obvious. No country in Europe can compete with the United States. Therefore, they must take the path of unity and build a unified big Europe so that they can compete with the United States in the world.
Although they are all in the same camp, Europeans definitely do not want to live under the halo of the United States forever.
The United States is naturally very repulsive of Europe's plans, but at most they only express dissatisfaction with Europe and cannot take more open actions. However, they will never let it go in secret. In later generations, after the establishment of the euro, American financial tycoons took many tricks.
However, the United States is not so concealed by any unified currency that the Arabs want to establish. The United States will never let go of any action that may challenge the status of the US dollar.
The United States' reaction was very fierce. U.S. senior management ordered the Kitty Hawk and Carl Vinson aircraft carriers to leave their ports and head to the Persian Gulf waters to carry out a strike.
The two aircraft carrier battle groups were dispatched to the Arabs' doorstep for demonstrations. This was a barbaric deterrent operation, but it was also in line with the American style. Western countries did not make negative comments, but were just watching how the Arabs took the initiative.
Sure enough, very similar to their guess. After the United States announced the military exercise, Iraq immediately announced that it would also conduct military exercises. Moreover, the area of the exercise was the same as the area announced by the United States.
However, the Arabs are at their doorstep, so the Arabs can first arrive at the exercise area. At this time, the Americans have not yet entered the Indian Ocean.
Iraq announced the exercise on June 20, while the United States needed to reach the exercise waters on June 25, which was at a disadvantage in time.
For this exercise, Iraq took out all the warships that could be taken out, and among them, they actually drove out all the modern-class warships that robbed the Soviets. Will the Iraqis operate this warship?
What attracted them even more attention was Iraq's announcement of launching a launch vehicle. Everyone on earth knew that launch vehicles and ballistic missiles had different payloads.
Iraq is a saying that launch vehicle is a launch vehicle. Moreover, this Arab space company has been established for a long time. If the United States opposes it now, it will be a intervention, and any country has the ability to use space peacefully. In particular, this space company was established completely by Arabs and not only Iraq itself.
Westerners kept their eyes open and watched the situation develop here.
So, under the gaze of Westerners, the Iraqi Navy dispatched from the Saddam Port base.
The fuel storage tank of the Hyundai class destroyer is already filled with its fuel and heavy oil. Since the Hyundai class uses steam boiler-driven steam turbines, the fuel is also very simple. Just burn the worst-quality heavy oil. In the Navy's sequence, its navigation cost is lower than the Heden class with a displacement of only more than 2,000 tons. The Heden class gas turbine burns the purest light oil.
This is also the superiority of the modern-level. In later generations, the down-and-out Russian Navy could not afford light oil. The modern-level retro steam turbine was more popular.
The boiler had been ignited for more than an hour and had already burned the steam to enough pressure. With the command of the exercise, Major General Karim, deputy commander of the Navy, called the order, and the modern class sounded the whistle and began to slowly set sail.
Following the Hyundai class, four Herden-class frigates also activated their huge bodies.
Compared with these large warships, missile boats with a displacement of more than 500 tons were moved faster, and they protected the two wings of the fleet.
With the Modern Class as the core, two of the four Heden Classes, and on the outside, are Red Star Missile Boats. Although they cannot be compared with the US Navy, they are powerful enough in the entire Persian Gulf region.
Halfway through, a Saudi frigate, the Aibuha, will come and join their formation.
Underwater, two tr-1700 submarines had quietly sailed to the front of the formation.
Iraq obtained four Tr-1700 submarines in advance and afterwards, two unfinished submarines on the Argentina's ship platform were built according to the agreement and delivered to Iraq, which were named Kokang, Tent, Kut and Hay respectively. Among them, the first boat Kokang has been equipped with the Swedish AIP system, while the second boat Tent is being modified in the shipyard. Therefore, the Kokang and Kut are being dispatched this time.
With the AIP system, even if it is half a nuclear submarine, the Kokang does not need to surface in this exercise.
The six missile boats, five of which are Red Star missile boats introduced from major Eastern powers. On the rear platform, two twin missile launchers each tilted outward at a 15-degree angle. This missile is an extended-range anti-ship missile produced by Iraq that uses small turbofan engines, with a range of 200 kilometers.
In terms of this distance, it has long exceeded the guidance capability of the missile boat itself. Not to mention the missile boat, even the Heden-class frigate, it is impossible to guide at such a long distance.
Modern anti-ship combat is a systematic project, a missile boat, which is just one link here, and its mission is just to launch missiles.
The guidance of missiles needs to be achieved by helicopters, early warning aircraft, and even satellites.
Among these missile boats, there is a very special one. Although the displacement is exactly the same as those of them, the superstructure is completely different, and it looks like it is wearing a vest.
This missile boat is Iraq's latest weapon, stealth missile boat! (To be continued.
