The most important thing for Iraq is the powerful vertically launched air missiles above, which are a necessary guarantee for aircraft carrier formations and are used to defend against the opponent's saturation attacks.

Only with enough escort ships can the aircraft carrier battle group be powerful.

Therefore, in addition to investing a lot of enthusiasm in nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, Iraq is also very concerned about other supporting ships.

In the Soviet Navy, except for the aircraft carriers that attracted the most Kussie, the rest were the Glorious Class cruisers.

Glorious class cruisers with displacement of up to 10,000 tons have excellent anti-ship, anti-submarine, and air defense performance. This warship is equipped with the Iraqi Navy and can make them a world-class navy!

Even if it is Asan on the east side, I am afraid he will be envious.

The Communist Youth League started construction in 1984 and was launched in 1990. Now the construction period is about to end. Its construction cycle is no shorter than that of an aircraft carrier. The main reason is that the energy of the shipyard is devoted to the construction of aircraft carriers. All departments across the country are mainly equipped with aircraft carriers.

The fifth Russian ship was only started in 1988, and the progress of this ship is only 45%.

The Russian Navy also paid attention to the glorious class when it was on the aircraft carrier. After getting it done, it was driven back to Iraq first!

Hearing Amir's words, Makarov said: "That warship is about to be completed, but the anti-ship missiles on it cannot be exported for Iraq, otherwise Russia will definitely protest strongly."

For the Soviet Union, the key task of the Glorious Class was anti-ship, so it was equipped with the red naval anti-ship missiles, that is, granite anti-ship missiles. These anti-ship missiles are the killer weapons of the current Russian Navy and will never allow a second country to possess them and reveal its secrets.

"The anti-ship missiles above can be dismantled, and those missiles are of no use to our Iraq." Amir said that Iraq's aircraft carriers are not equipped with such missiles, and other warships are not necessary to be equipped. It is not that this kind of missile is not good, but that Iraq lacks the entire system.

Demolition of anti-ship missiles, Iraq will use it to install new things, that is, Iraq's own cruise missiles!

Using warships to conduct ground attacks is a trend in later generations. Didn’t Americans often launch Tomahawk missiles on cruisers?

In this way, such warships will be more threatening.

"If this happens, there should be no problem. We can report it by our shipyard or contact our superiors directly. The Russian Navy will never pay the entire ship to buy it." Makarov said.

"Also, if we invest in Iraq, how long will it take to complete the construction of the Glorious Class No. 5 ship?" Amir continued to ask.

Makarov thought for a while: "If the funds are abundant, it will take two years. Moreover, if no one invests in this warship, it will definitely be destructed, so the superiors should be very satisfied and able to export."

After the talks with Makarov, Ajlina reported to President Kusai as soon as possible. A major project in Ukraine finally reached its final stage!

This is a critical moment that concerns the century-long development of the Iraqi Navy! At this time, the Iraqi Navy will achieve a leapfrog development!

After Kusai received the news, he couldn't stop talking about it for several consecutive days. The era of Iraq's naval forces is finally coming.

Now, the first aircraft carrier, the Baghdad, is undergoing training, and Iraq's carrier-based aviation is slowly growing from its infancy. After the arrival of the second aircraft carrier, Iraq will have two aircraft carrier combat groups.

In addition to aircraft carriers, the most powerful of these two aircraft carrier battle groups is the Glorious Class cruiser. The number that Iraq will eventually obtain will be two to three.

In addition to cruisers, Ajelina is also discussing with shipbuilders about introducing the Fearless Three that has not been built yet. This special air defense destroyer will turn Iraq's aircraft carrier formation into a wall of iron.

In addition to these large warships, the Modern Class and the Fearless Class will be the outer guard forces of the formation. Although there are only two such warships of the Iraqi Navy, at least four will be needed in Iraq's future plans.

With Iraq's own frigate and aircraft carrier formation lineup, it will be very powerful.

In order to welcome this moment, Iraq had already begun to train its own naval personnel in the mid-1980s. Through the Naval Academy in Basra, a large number of high-level naval personnel with modern knowledge took to their posts. They took turns to intern on several warships and mastered the operating principles.

The disintegration of the Soviet Union will quickly reduce its once powerful navy to a second-rate army. Within a few years, a large number of warships will face the fate of being eliminated. It is not difficult for Iraq to purchase enough warships at an extremely low price. Many warships are not a major failure, but they have no money to repair them.

For example, before the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Black Sea Fleet was the second largest naval fleet of the Soviet Union. It had more than 800 warships, including two helicopter motherships, seven cruisers, including one Glory Class, nine destroyers and other large warships. Since it was the only unfreezing port, this was a powerful force of the Soviet Union in the Mediterranean.

But now, the fate of the Black Sea Fleet is full of unknowns, and it still hangs the flag of the Soviet Union's sickle and axe!

Faced with this second largest fleet, Russia naturally will not give up. Therefore, Russia has always claimed that the Black Sea Fleet is Russia's maritime component.

But Ukraine will never agree with this. For them, the Black Sea Fleet stationed in Ukraine is completely Ukrainian property.

The two sides had a big dispute over this.

Soldiers cannot interfere in politics. When the commander of the Black Sea Fleet was unable to draw a conclusion on whether the Black Sea Fleet belonged to Ukraine or Russia, he had to have a plan: first temporarily hold the Soviet flag, and after the two sides have finished arguing and determined their ownership, they will hang the corresponding national flag.

In later generations, in August 1992, Russia and Ukraine reached an agreement in Yalta to turn the Black Sea Fleet into a joint Russian-Ukrainian fleet, which was jointly commanded by the two countries. In June 1995, the two countries formally decided to divide the fleet into two. Due to the disrepair of most of the fleet's ships, Ukraine only received 18.3 ships, and the rest was sold to Russia at a discount.

Of course, for Kusai, he would not watch these ships wait in the Black Sea. Instead of letting those ships rot, it is better to buy them from Ukraine! As long as they are given enough price, Ukraine will definitely dare to sell them in order to develop its own economy. At that time, they will not care about each other's bite, because they bought it for money anyway.

Iraq is now full of national treasury, and the annual oil income is enough for Iraq to become the richest country in the world. Moreover, Iraq's current oil revenue accounts for only about half of them. Iraq's various manufacturing industries have begun to develop vigorously, and exports and foreign exchange earnings account for a very important part of Iraq's economy.

Even if we put aside these, Iraq has made a lot of money in the previous world economic speculation, so Kusai has already prepared funds and devoted itself to this crazy acquisition operation now.

Because, now it is not just Kusai. The Eastern powers have extended their hands, and the United States and Western Europe have also extended their hands to poach talents, technology and equipment!

This is not a friendly match. Kusai made up his mind. As long as he liked him, he would definitely take action first and no one could take it away.

However, the first thing to send back the news was another team led by Shikmat. After visiting the Nitka Training Center in Ukraine, they asked President Kusai and made a deposit for Ukraine. The twenty-five Su-27K fighters left at the Nitka Training Center were bought back at a price of 30 million US dollars each.

These fighter jets are equipped with fighter jets on the Kuznetsov.

Although the USS Kuznetsov aircraft carrier has been driven back, the fighter jets produced for it have not been settled. The Soviet Union lacked funds until the allocation was made two years ago, and the batch of fighter jets were produced.

However, after the fighter was produced, it did not fly directly to the aircraft carrier. Because the Soviet Union lacked enough carrier-based pilots, this batch of fighter jets first flew to the Nitka Training Center. The Soviet aviation troops would practice takeoff and landing on the simulated deck.

As a result, the Ukrainians were in vain and the Soviet Union broke up. Ukraine said that they would not give Russia anything unless they bought it with money.

The Russians naturally disagreed. After the two brothers broke up, they started to argue with each other due to inheritance issues.

So, Ukraine finally started to take ruthless action. Since it is mine on my land, it is mine. If you don’t give the money, you want to get it in vain? Then I might as well sell it to someone else!

The price given by Iraq is not low, $30 million per aircraft, which is slightly higher than the cost.

Therefore, after the Iraqi Navy's carrier-based aviation company owned 25 again, which was enough for two carrier-based aircraft wings. Of course, if there were any rotations, it would be better to order another thirty to forty fighter jets.

After the Su-27K agreement was reached, it began to fly from Ukraine to the Naval Base of Geshm Island, and the Iraqi Navy began to take off again. (To be continued. Please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
