Chapter 599 Dongfeng-3 Missile

Hearing this, Kusai looked at the old Prince Sultan in front of him. The other party was looking at him with sincere eyes. Then, the young Prince Fahd was also looking at him very seriously. Kusai knew that their starting point was different from that of the United States. They really hoped that they had nuclear weapons.

In fact, because of the relationship between race, faith and blood on this land, Arab countries are very united to resist Israel's aggression against Palestine and jointly fund Iraq's war against Iran.

However, the Middle East has always been interfered by foreign forces. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have abundant oil resources and are very rich in the country. In order to maintain the stability of the country, they have to adopt a strategy of approaching the West.

Here, except Iraq, there are no major military powers. They are hoping for the strength of Iraq, that is, their own Arab brothers, which will play a great role in uniting Arab countries and resisting the infiltration of external forces.

They never thought that Iraq in later generations would attack their brothers because they knew that Lord Kusai was definitely not that kind of person!

At the same time, they really hope that Iraq is conducting an underground nuclear test. In this way, when they resist Western forces again, their waists will become hard. After all, this is a deterrent force! A powerful deterrent force in this world!

"So, my brother, what do you think?" Kusai asked back, his words filled with smiles.

"We hope Iraq really has nuclear weapons!" At this time, the young and energetic Prince Fahd said: "Let those peacemakers go to hell! If we Arabs have nuclear weapons in their hands, we have the confidence to confront major powers. If underground nuclear tests are really conducted in the Bakhtaran area, we will fully support Iraq's nuclear program and jointly resist the US-led verification. If the International Atomic Energy Agency really sends observers, we, Kuwait, are willing to dispatch forces to disrupt this verification. Even if we kill these observers, we will do whatever we can!"

Prince Fahd said it very seriously. This was something they had discussed carefully. Iraq has really crossed the nuclear threshold. They need to support Iraq without hesitation!

Kusai was moved. He had long known that Prince Fahd was one of the figures who fully supported Iraq. Even in the nuclear program that faced global opposition, Kuwait would support Iraq without hesitation, which would have great benefits for the entire Middle East and the entire Arab world.

"We are the same as Saudi Arabia," said Prince Sultan: "We are very supportive of our brothers, even if we risk the opposition of the whole world!"

Seeing the statements of the two, Kusai knew. They really hoped that they could say yes. On this issue, could they really tell these two brothers about Iraq's nuclear plan?

Kusai hesitated for a moment.

"Even if we really have nuclear weapons, we still lack the carriers." Kusai did not say yes, nor did he say no, but just mentioned it this way. If we had it, what's the use? Without a carrier, that is, there is no long-range ballistic missile, everything is not in vain.

Although Iraq now has Scuds and OTP-23, these missiles have the longest range. They are only 500 kilometers. For missiles that use nuclear warheads as warheads, these missiles are not qualified. Nuclear weapons are used to deterrent, with a range of 500 kilometers. Where can they deter?

If you want to have deterrence, an intercontinental ballistic missile with a range of tens of thousands of kilometers is the most suitable. Even if not, the initial range should reach 3,000 kilometers.

It is a very complicated thing for Iraqi technicians to fully master the OTP-23 missile and modify and increase the range. It is impossible to survey and map and master these technologies in just a few years.

Therefore, before the solid missile technology has been made, it is also very important to have a ballistic missile with sufficient range.

Although nuclear bombs can be carried by aircraft, it is not easy to fly over the other party’s head to throw nuclear bombs without absolute air supremacy. Ballistic missiles are important means of carrying nuclear weapons.

"You mean, Iraq wants a ballistic missile?" said Prince Sultan.

"Yes, this kind of missile needs to be introduced secretly, and at the same time, it needs to have an effective range of at least 3,000 kilometers." Kusai said.

"In fact, we have had contact with the United States. The United States refused to sell the "Spear" ballistic missile, a tactical ground-to-ground missile with a range of only 120 kilometers, because of Israel's obstruction." Prince Sultan said.

Although Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are both pro-US policies, whenever they seek to buy American weapons, Israel will "no exceptionally quarrel" and obstruct them. It claims that their arms purchases will harm Israel's interests. At the same time, the US Congress's relevant review procedures and procedures for purchasing American weapons are very troublesome. Even if sometimes the US president agrees, it will not be possible to pass the Senate below. Recently, Saudi Arabia ordered the US e-3 early warning aircraft and felt the "meaning" of the US arms sales. He spent a lot of dollars to buy American weapons, but he still had to face the "humiliation" of the US Congress and thanked the "grace" given by the US Congress. This is also the reason why Saudi Arabia is willing to order weapons from Iraq without asking about the specific performance. He uses weapons made by his Arab brothers, and he has confidence, face and enjoys it!

"Ballistic missiles are not only owned by the United States, but also by the Soviet Union." Kusai reminded kindly.

Besides the United States and the Soviet Union, what other countries are there? Britain? Which one is wearing a pair of pants with the United States, France? Or, a great power in the East?

Prince Sultan understood what Kusai meant.

Of course, Kusai is pointing to it. He also knows that Saudi Arabia has a special interest in seeking deterrent ballistic missiles. In later generations, Saudi Arabia purchased a certain number of Dongfeng-3 ballistic missiles from the Eastern power, because there are strict restrictions on exporting ballistic missiles over 500 kilometers internationally. Therefore, after failing to purchase from the United States, Saudi Arabia turned to the East. After several contacts, the person in front of him, Prince Sultan, personally visited the ballistic missile base of the Eastern power. This was also the first time that the Eastern power opened its missile base to foreigners to visit. As a result, Saudi Arabia spent 3.5 billion US dollars to purchase a certain number of ballistic missiles. At this time, the foreign exchange income of the Eastern power in one year was less than 2 billion US dollars. This was a big deal.

Although Kusai knew that if he proposed a purchase plan to the Eastern power, he would probably buy this missile at a more favorable price with his current relationship with the Eastern power, but now is not the time. If he bought this missile, I am afraid that even an ant on the Middle East would know that Iraq bought a missile. What do they want to do if they bought a missile? Install the nuclear warhead they developed by themselves!

If you buy it in Saudi Arabia, it can play a better role.

"The Eastern power has a Dongfeng-3 missile. I wonder if His Highness Prince Sultan knows it?" Kusai asked.

The Dongfeng-3 missile is the first medium-range ballistic missile of the Eastern power and the first strategic missile. This missile was first tested on December 26, 1966 and entered service in May 1971. On August 4, 1975, the Dongfeng-3 strategic nuclear missile was finalized and produced. The missile is 24 meters long, has a bullet diameter of 2.25 meters, and a take-off weight of 64 tons. It uses a first-stage liquid-fuel rocket engine with a maximum range of 2,800 kilometers. Moreover, just this year, the improved development of the Dongfeng-3 was completed, with a range of more than 3,500 kilometers.

What made Kusai even more tempting is that this missile is a kind of missile that can be launched maneuverably. Although the chassis is a trailer chassis, it does not have the off-road capabilities of Scuds and OTP-23s, which is also a great improvement.

Dongfeng-3 missile? In fact, when it comes to now, Prince Sultan and Prince Fahd have understood what Kusai meant. Kusai cannot say it explicitly, and they can only guess. However, since Kusai said that if he wants to buy ballistic missiles, when Iraq has defeated Iran, it is no longer necessary to use it in the Iraq-Iran-Iran war, and there is no need for missiles with such a long range, then there is only another possibility.

"We Saudi Arabia are very interested in this kind of missile. I will secretly send an inspection team represented by Bandar to go to the East to inspect and see if this missile can be introduced." Prince Sultan said.

"If Saudi Arabia can successfully introduce this missile, it is hoped that it can be transferred to Iraq as a part of the missile at the original price," said Kusai.

"There is no problem at all." Prince Sultan finished speaking and then said: "If Iraq really faces difficulties, for example, because of certain things that have been punished by the United Nations, Saudi Arabia is willing to become a transit station for Iraq. Saudi Arabia can import the various things Iraq needs first and then transfer them to Iraq."

"We, Kuwait, are willing." Prince Fahd followed, and both of them showed joy.

“Iraq has no reason to be subject to UN sanctions,” Kusai said. “Of course, thanks to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait for their help. Our Arab world is always the most united.”

There is no reason, so why do you want those ballistic missiles? Prince Sultan knew that Kusai said this on the surface, and it was enough that both sides knew the meaning of these words. It was not necessary to express them too clearly.
