On July 15, 1984, on this day, Reagan defeated his challenger Mondale and obtained the opportunity to be re-election president. The United States ushered in the next Reagan era.

During this day, the ups and downs of the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait and Jordan, established a new organization called the Arab Cooperation Treaty Organization. They announced that they would carry out a series of economic and military cooperation. At this stage, they will jointly conduct military air defense systems and jointly contribute to establish an Arab space company to develop the Arabs' own launch vehicle.

On this day, the United States also announced that it would impose a series of sanctions on Iraq that attacked Israel some time ago, including the termination of all weapons projects, and NATO member states are not allowed to export various weapons and high-tech products to Iraq.

Faced with the arrival of NATO sanctions, countries in the Middle East showed strong reactions. After the United States issued the news, major oil-producing countries such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait announced that they would reduce oil production again. Any countries that impose sanctions on Iraq will temporarily suspend exports of oil to these countries.

In fact, in Iraq's cooperation projects with Western countries, the main one is the United States. Iraq's F-20 fighter jets are the product of the main honeymoon period with the United States, followed by France, but France is not a NATO country. Therefore, France agrees with the United States' sanctions on the surface, but in fact, it will not impose any restrictions. On the contrary, taking advantage of the opportunity of the United States not allowing Western countries to export weapons to Iraq, France just seizes a larger market share and becomes Iraq's main arms supplier.

Germany, the United Kingdom and other countries have to terminate their cooperation with Iraq for the time being, but before that, Germany's fire control system and Iraq had already reserved enough spare parts, and the production of t-72 can continue until next year.

As for the UK, the two sets of equipment of the Hunter Early Warning Aircraft have arrived in Shanghai and are ready to be installed on two Yunshi aircraft. The UK has imposed sanctions on the United States more quickly and removed technicians. However, at this time, the technicians in Iraq have thoroughly understood the various technologies of the Hunter Early Warning Aircraft. Moreover, various technical information is relatively complete, so the modification of these two early warning aircraft is still in progress.

NATO can sanction Iraq. However, the native British company, Ousheng Electronics, will not be affected in any way, so the bridge between Kusai and Western advanced technology still exists.

After the establishment of the Arab Cooperation Treaty Organization, the remaining Arab countries expressed their intention to join.

Just as the West began to sanction Iraq, even more amazing news came from the north that the Red Empire would make a large-scale sale to Iraq!

The Soviet Union will export helmet sights and R-73 fighting missiles to Iraq to improve air combat performance. These equipment can be installed on Iraq's Soviet fighter jets, as well as the F-20 fighter jets and Phantom 4000 fighter jets on Iraq's own production line. The Soviet Union provides Iraq with non-ferrous metal smelting equipment and various advanced metal raw materials for aircraft engines that Iraq cannot produce at the moment, and provides titanium alloy blanks. As well as a series of other arms sales projects, it is even more surprising that the Soviet Union will provide Iraq with two heavy water reactors, built on the outskirts of Baghdad and next to Zubaier, and provide power to various newly built factories in these two places to alleviate the power shortage in these two places.

The last news is like a bombshell. This is the Soviet Union's contempt for the US sanctions. If the United States wants to sanction Iraq, why not sanction Israel? Israel has developed nuclear weapons! In the Cold War, Israel and Iraq became the focus of the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union respectively. The Soviet Union announced its attitude in this unique way.

If the United States wants to impose sanctions, then the Soviet Union will provide assistance. Whatever the United States imposes sanctions, the Soviet Union will provide!

The United States attempted to use sanctions on Iraq to prevent Iraq from using its fighter jet production line, even if it has a fighter jet production line, it will be deactivated due to the lack of raw materials. However, they miscalculated this time. The Soviet Union had those raw materials! The Soviet Union could provide them! And the precision processing equipment has arrived in Iraq. As long as there are raw materials, Iraq can produce them!

Of course, the Soviet Union still could not provide some components, for example, the Soviet Union could not provide radar electronic equipment for the F-20 fighter.

However, the United States' Ruyi plan has failed.

The NATO countries following behind the United States have their eyes red. The Soviet Union even sold nuclear reactors to Iraq. They can't even sell a screw because the screw may be used on Iraq's weapons. They have to endure the subsequent oil production cuts due to sanctions on Iraq. The rise in oil prices on their own are all because Iraq attacked Israel.

In fact, all Western European countries are thinking that even if Iraq attacks Israel this time, even if some of its behaviors are too much, it is still reasonable that Iraq has only killed Israel's nuclear base, and Israel has also killed Iraq's nuclear reactors. The two sides are considered to be even, so why do they have to impose sanctions? Originally, Iraq has shown that it is gradually getting close to the West. The US's behavior has forced Iraq to the Soviet Union. What are the benefits for the West? It's just for Iraq to attack Israel? If Israel does not do underground nuclear tests first, will there be so many troubles?

Seeing that those businesses were unable to do, they were cheaper to the Soviets and the French, but they couldn't do it themselves, the arms groups in Western Europe were all straight.

They didn't know that there was a reason why the Soviet Union was so generous.

Kusai stood up and helped the Soviets kill Israeli nuclear facilities, helped the Soviet Union a lot of help, and afterwards, he took the initiative to admit that it was done by himself. Although military observers kept suspecting that Iraq did not have that ability, and the second batch of missiles flew from the Mediterranean and were not done by Iraq at all, there was no official argument.

The subsequent series of sanctions by the United States were caused by Iraq's attacks, so the Soviet Union opened up technical barriers and finally agreed to export helmet sights and R-73 missiles to Iraq.

Of course, there is no free lunch in the world, and Iraq has to exchange it with the wreckage of the black bird. Moreover, the import of these things costs a high price for Iraq.

Iraq also spent a lot of money on importing other things, which was a helpless choice. Although the US sanctions this time seem to be aggressive, they did not have a great impact on Iraq. Instead, they aroused the ambition of domestic scientific and technological workers in Iraq. They worked hard to achieve the localization rate of various weapons introduced from outside, and finally reached 100%!

Moreover, the facts also confirm the correctness of His Excellency Kusai's policy. If Iraq purchases all weapons from abroad, foreign sanctions can destroy Iraq's powerful army, but now, Iraq can minimize this impact.

As for the nuclear reactor, it was a project that Gorbachev decided after actively talking to Kusai, because both sides needed to fight back against the US sanctions, and nothing was more powerful than a nuclear reactor. What's more, Iraq is a member of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and can have such a civilian nuclear reactor, and it will be supervised by the International Atomic Energy Agency and guaranteed not to be used for other purposes.

After thinking about it, Kusai agreed to the friendly suggestions of the Soviet Union, because these two places will continue to carry out various industrial construction in the future. The problem of power shortage will become more and more serious. Nuclear power plants can provide these places with clean energy. Moreover, this is indeed a very powerful fight back, letting the United States know that Iraq will never compromise under the pressure of the United States on certain issues.

Of course, this will gradually stand on the opposite side of the United States. This is actually not the original intention of Kusai. Kusai wanted to get along well in the battle between the United States and the Soviet Union and get various benefits, but no one got too close. However, in the specific operation, various problems arise.

For example, Israel, a dominant land in the Middle East, has nuclear weapons, and Iraq has to take action, which will anger the United States. This is Iraq's forced and a necessary choice.

Because of this problem, Iraq and the United States are getting farther and closer to the Soviet Union. However, this is good. Now that we have established a relationship, we will wait to move half of the Soviet Union back to Iraq in a few years!

There are some green sea water around, and occasionally plankton swims by. The sunlight is composed of seven colors of light. Among them, red light has the weakest ability to penetrate water. When it is a few meters deep under the water, red light cannot reach it. The penetration ability of green light can reach more than 100 meters. In this seabed that is tens of meters deep, green is the most common color.

Kochakin, a Soviet Navy diver who graduated from the Naval Submarine Academy of Kronstadt, the Soviet Union, is now a special forces member of the Black Sea Fleet PDSS Underwater Special Operations Force, and is searching underwater with his companions.

If you want to become a diver, you will need a lot of hard training, but it is underwater and is full of dangers.

He was wearing a black tight diving suit, and his back was not a cylindrical oxygen cylinder, but a square container like a backpack. There were two tubes leading to the combination of a diving glasses and an underwater respirator in front. The mirror wrapped his nose and used his mouth to suck the integrated breathing equipment.

No bubbles flew out from the top of his head.

He used a new underwater respiratory equipment developed by the Soviet Union. Using oxygen cylinders, it is easy to expel bubbles and expose his position. The one he carried on his back was a fully enclosed diving respiration system with a carbon dioxide filter tube that filtered and recycled the exhaled air, so it does not bubble, will not expose the target, will not affect the field of vision and shooting. It is the highest level of Soviet diving equipment. (To be continued.
