Chapter 452 Destroy the Iranian anti-ship missiles!
Kusai was the first to receive news of a night battle at sea. He underestimated the power of the Iranian anti-ship missiles and underestimated the intelligence of the Iranians. He actually used a small boat to attack.
At the same time, he also knew that in history, due to repeated attacks, Kuwait took the lead in sending invitations to the US Navy, hoping that the US Navy would escort their ships. From then on, a big foot of the US Navy stepped into the Persian Gulf.
The United States even dispatched a Ticonderoga-class Aegis missile cruiser to station in Saudi Arabia's Daman Port, ready to escort tankers from itself and other countries with demands.
Never let things in history repeat themselves! Kusai is the most vigilant towards the United States, so he also knows that the threat from the Iranians to the Strait of Hormuz must be completely disappeared so that the gates of the Persian Gulf can be completely locked in and the American forces will not be allowed to come in.
Now, outside, Americans, Soviets, and even British people have forces in all aspects, and they all covet the oil resources of the Persian Gulf and want to put pressure on it.
They are all waiting for help from countries that cannot bear the Iranian attacks, which need to be transported by sea, along the Persian Gulf.
In all countries, Saudi Arabia is undoubtedly the leader. Saudi Arabia is definitely the main force in this escort mission. The performance of their frigates is even more jealous. You must know that in this era, it takes a lot of technology and luck to be able to successfully intercept three anti-ship missiles flying over the sea.
Therefore, after Kusai contacted Saudi Arabia, he decided to meet with King Fahd in person to discuss ways to solve the problem together.
Just as Kusai had just entered the palace in Riyadh, Prince Sultan also arrived.
Today's Kusai can be regarded as the most eye-catching person in the entire Middle East. Everyone knows that under the wise command of Kusai, Iraq has now gained an absolute advantage in the struggle against Iran.
"His Majesty the King, this time our escort formation successfully escorted the ships out of the Strait of Hormuz. However, the Iranians brazenly used missiles to attack our escort formation and used more than a dozen small boats." Prince Sultan said: "We must come up with countermeasures, otherwise our escort operation will not continue."
"Yes, so, Lord Kusey came in person to provide us with a solution," said King Fahd.
Does Kusai have a solution? Prince Sultan feels that his head is about to explode. Kusai has a solution? However, Kusai is a genius in war, and maybe there is a solution.
"Your Highness, Prince. What is the biggest threat to us by the Iranians?" asked Kusai.
"Of course it's anti-ship missiles! If it weren't for the last moment, the jamming equipment provided by your country would be restored to use. I'm afraid our Aibuha would have been sunk." Sultan knew about the entire naval war. The jamming equipment provided by Iraq was attacked by a rocket and stopped working. Then, the Iranian missiles flew in. After the jamming equipment resumed work, all the Iranian missiles failed, and the jamming equipment provided great help.
But who knows whether the Iranians will focus on destroying the interfering equipment again? Prince Sultan is not so confident about the next escort.
In addition to these, there are three islands located near the waterway, including Datongbu Island, Xiaotongbu Island and Abu Musa Island! These three islands are very close to the route and were originally from the UAE, but they were occupied by Iran during the Bavire Dynasty because it is too strategic. Recently, in order to continue the ship attack war and to play a more important role in those speedboats, the Iranians began to build bases on the island, so all the Iranians' wishful thinking must be broken!
Bombing so many places is definitely a powerful long-range raid by the Iraqi Air Force and a severe test for the Air Force.
After repeated consideration, especially after last night's naval battle, Kusai finally made up his mind to completely clean the Strait of Hormuz!
Unfortunately, Iraq's naval strength is not strong enough. Otherwise, Kusai would definitely order the Iraqi army to directly take over the three islands and firmly guard the route.
"His Excellency Kusai, during the battle last night, he found armed personnel fighting against the Iranians on an Iraqi oil tanker. They have very skilled combat skills. I wonder if the Iraqi government knows about this?" asked Prince Sultan.
He quietly loaded soldiers on the tanker without letting the formation know. Although Sultan did not question these words, he still complained in his tone that Iraq was not doing authentically.
Kusai naturally knew that because the entire process of the incident was reported by Malwan via radio. Under the circumstances at that time, it was even more important to protect the safety of the ships. It is completely understandable that the Rattlesnake Special Forces temporarily changed the battle plan. Kusai cannot deny this.
"So, how do the prince thinks they are doing?" Kusai asked.
"It was very beautiful," said Sultan. Although Iraq did not do it well this time, it played a great role in the fight against the Iranian speedboats.
"This is my second proposal." Kusai said: "In addition to continuing to use ships to escort, we also need to arrange several special forces on each ship that needs escort. There is no particularly good solution to the escort ships. We cannot add weapons to merchant ships and use well-trained soldiers to protect the ships, which is similar to the later generations when escorting in the Somalia waters.
"In order to better protect merchant ships, we need to select elite troops from all countries to participate. If the number of people is not enough, we in Iraq are willing to set up a team of fifty people to join the mission of escorting merchant ships together," said Kusai.
Adding several armed personnel to the merchant ships is naturally a good suggestion. Among all countries, if you want to say that the one with the richest combat experience is the Iraqi soldiers. King Fahd nodded in agreement.
Saudi Arabia has never wanted Iraq to get involved, for fear that the situation will be more complicated. But now it seems that Iran is simply going to completely cut off this route, so Saudi Arabia cannot be too rigid. To be continued...
