"We divided into two attack waves. First, we used cruise missiles to kill eleven long-range early warning radars scattered throughout Israel. Then, we divided into five strike squadrons, carrying anti-radiation missiles and ground attack bombs. , under the command of the early warning plane, kill the anti-aircraft missile positions of the Israeli line, and finally, form two patrol squadrons, cruise in the sky of the blue line, and attack the new anti-aircraft missile positions of the Israeli line at any time ’” Qusay said.

After defeating the Israeli air force, the next target is the Hawker air defense missiles listed in Israel. Without the protection of the air force, those air defense missiles are lambs to be slaughtered. If these missiles are not killed, yes For the fighter planes of the Arab Air Force, it is a threat, so why not put some new pressure on Israel!

Iraq's current Red Bird III missiles were almost exhausted last time, and they have recently stepped up production of five, which is definitely not enough for this time. However, now they only need to use the cheaper Red Bird II missiles, and use the F-20 Launching from an aircraft is enough. Now that the conflict with Israel has completely intensified, there is no need to take into account the influence of Jordan. Launching directly over Jordan can kill those fixed long-range early warning radars and lose With the long-range early-warning radar, the air defense force of the sè line will definitely turn on the radar of the air defense missile in an emergency to deal with the threats that may appear in the sky. In this way, it will just provide targets for the hunting squadron, and kill as many as there are!

The opponent is the Hawker air defense missile, and the Iraqi side can be regarded as familiar with it, because their former rival, Iran, is equipped with this kind of American-made air defense missile. Shè missiles, moreover, the seeker has been optimized specifically for the Hawker air defense missiles. The combination of the Morasse anti-radiation shè missiles and the Su-25 attack aircraft is a combination that Iraq has already used proficiently to deal with ground air defenses. The weapon of the missile force.

In order to protect the attacking aircraft fleet, Iraq will also dispatch its own electronic jamming aircraft. After passing through the jamming pods of the not very mature MiG-23, Iraqi personnel finally completely remodeled two two-seater MiG-23s. [-]. Remove unnecessary equipment for air combat and integrate most of the electronic equipment into the body. At the same time, a new type of jamming equipment developed by the team led by Joseph is adopted, which can suppress almost all air defense radars. The pilots in the rear cabin, Specially responsible for operating these devices.During the modification process of the aircraft, some Soviet experts were assisted.

Thinking of the historical air battles in the Bekaa Valley, Israel gained a complete advantage by virtue of its advanced weapons.Now, the situation has been turned upside down, and it is Iraq that has an absolute advantage!

After the commander-in-chief Qusay proposed the attack plan, it was fully agreed by the other deputy commanders. The atmosphere on the front line became tense again. They needed to make their own preparations for bombing Israel again.This time it was the air forces of Iraq and Saudi Arabia who played the leading role.

Qusay proposed the target of this attack, and the combat plan will be in charge of by the staff. Moreover, they can continue to seek help from the Soviet Union for the latest satellite maps.

As soon as he left the Joint Army Command, Qusay received news from the country that last night, an unsuccessful coup took place in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. In this coup, Iraqi Sports Minister Hussein Kamai Le and Information Minister Saddam Kamal are the most direct initiators of the coup d'état, involving more than [-] zhèngfǔ officials at all levels and military figures, including the two, except for the president's private security armed special guards In addition to several squad leaders, there is another one who is a staff officer in the Iraqi Air Force.

Now, these people have all been captured, among them, Hussein Kamal was wiped out in the battle last night. A 73mm artillery shell blasted the car he was riding into the sky together with him, hitting There are no bones left.

Originally, the Kamal brothers, the biggest reliance, the president's private security armed special guard, has been controlled by the new captain Abed and the intelligence personnel of the Messiah Bureau hidden in the team, making the Kamal brothers lose their greatest strength. , which is why they were able to be suppressed so quickly.

Now the city of Baghdad has been blocked, and the home of the Kamal brothers, which is the residence of Qusay's sister, has also been guarded. Everything is waiting for Qusay's next instructions.

After digging out these people who had evil intentions for him, Qusay felt relieved. Now he is no longer the person who only understands military affairs but not politics. He understands the current situation very well and wants to To consolidate one's power and status, influence is very important, and decisiveness is even more important.

If you cannot control thought, then you can eliminate the carrier of this thought.Regarding the rebellion, even the benevolent monarch would definitely make the same choice. Qu Sai knew that since these rebels had chosen the wrong path, they themselves should be aware of the result.

However, how should he treat his two brothers-in-law?Now, Hussein Kamal has been killed in the rebellion, and Saddam Kamal, who is still alive, has been captured. After being captured, killing him seems to be very cruel , Do you want both sisters to be widows?

Qusay remembered what his father Saddam did. On July 1968, 7, the Baath Socialist Party had launched a coup and seized power. However, Prime Minister Nayef was the source of the hidden rebellion again. In such a crisis, Saddam dispatched alone to "persuade" Nayef to go abroad as an ambassador, and to go as far as possible, to a country completely unfamiliar to him.Finally, Nayef went to Balat, the capital of Morocco.

Letting Saddam Kamal go to an African or an island country in the ocean and become an ambassador to Iraq may be his best destination. Qusay felt that he was kind enough.

Chapter 697 Ericsson's Eye and Sterling AIP System

Among Hikmat's entourage, since they mainly came to negotiate the active sky flash project, apart from the negotiating experts, they were the missile technicians of the Air Force related to this plan, while there were very few people from the Army and Navy.However, Hikmat still felt that this time was an opportunity!

What does Iraq lack most?It is not funds, but things that can be bought, especially the production line. He seems to regret it now. If Iraq had cooperated with Sweden from the beginning, then I am afraid that many projects will bear fruit now. The United States People always like to put pigeons. The British hugged the American thigh tightly and always dug holes for Iraq. The French are very enthusiastic, but they are absolutely ruthless when it comes to asking for a price. Your Excellency Qusay doesn’t like the weapons of the Soviet Union. Electronics, and Sweden, fill those gaps.

Even if the people of the whole country tighten their belts, they will also introduce the projects that should be introduced.Of course, this is just a statement. Backed by the two rich men of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, and with the crude oil from Khuzestan, Iraq’s economy has developed greatly. Moreover, Iraq has been developing its military industry. It's not all about investment. Iraq will still become a major arms exporter.

While reporting to the country, Hikmat also extended his trip in Sweden. He needs to visit more places, collect more things that Iraq needs, and report to His Excellency Qusay before making a decision. imported items.

"Until now, your side has been the country that attaches the most importance to air force equipment. Now, you are using the fan-hunting early warning plane imported from the UK. This kind of early warning plane has played an important role in your air combat. However, this kind of early warning aircraft is just the result of the expansion of ordinary airborne radar, and has various disadvantages, so you need an early warning aircraft with more advanced technology." Scheler, who accompanied Hikmat, said .

If the person who came was Qusay himself, then he could have guessed that the Swedes wanted to sell Iraq their efforts on the early warning aircraft, which is commonly known as the balance beam in later generations, and the current Ericsson Eye early warning system.

Early warning aircraft, this multiplier of air combat power, has attracted the attention of more and more countries. However, until now, there are only a handful of countries that can independently develop early warning aircraft. The United States has the most and the most mature technology. The Soviet Union has also developed to the second generation, and the Air Police No. [-] of the Eastern Power died without a problem.The UK's fan-hunting early warning machine was finally taken over by the Iraqi side and blossomed in a foreign country.

Sweden needs and longs for an early warning system due to its national conditions. However, Sweden is a small country, and it is obviously inappropriate to follow the path of the United States and the Soviet Union. Sweden needs a small early warning system with high cost performance.

Since the early 80s, Ericsson Microwave Systems has started to develop airborne early warning radar systems, and directly skipped the early stages of the development of early warning aircraft in countries such as the United States and the Soviet Union, such as traditional airborne surveillance radars and even passive phased array radars. , starting directly from the airborne active phased array radar.

Ordinary radar scans around by rotating the antenna, while phased array radar uses a "phase shifter" to realize the rotation of the radar beam, and controls the pointing change of the radar beam electrically to scan when the antenna is not moving. , also known as electrical scanning.Passive phased array radar has only one central transmitter and one receiver. The high-frequency energy generated by the transmitter is automatically distributed to each radiator of the antenna array by the computer, and the target reflection signal is uniformly amplified by the receiver. Each radiator of active phased array radar is equipped with a transmitting/receiving component, and each component can generate and receive electromagnetic waves by itself, so it is better than passive radar in terms of bandwidth, signal processing and redundancy design. Phased array radar has great advantages.This single component is an insurmountable gap that lies in front of all radar experts. In this regard, the United States is not advanced enough.

Ericsson is one of the world-renowned electronics companies. It has invested a lot of energy in it. Up to now, it has made breakthroughs in major technologies. The FSR-890 "Eyes of Ericsson" airborne active phased array The warning radar has already come out.

In later generations, this airborne active phased array early warning radar was successfully tested in the air at the end of 1985.At the Paris Air Show in 1986, the PS-890 "Ericsson Eye" radar made its public debut.The Swedish Air Force used the American "Metro" transport aircraft as a platform to refit the "Metro"-Ⅲ early warning aircraft in the air.This is the first early warning aircraft in the history of Sweden. Later, a Saab 340 transport aircraft was selected as the body and converted into a hundred-eyed giant early warning aircraft.

Sweden is a small country, but it can make great achievements in all aspects, which has a lot to do with their defense industry model. Their neutral foreign policy allows them to absorb all kinds of foreign capital, as long as it is not like the bearded Ben Anyone who is wanted by the world can associate with Sweden. Now, the rich countries from the Middle East are very brave to try new technologies. Sweden has thrown out its own early warning system, hoping to win over the Iraqi side. Investment, Iraq can spend so much money to buy the British fan-hunting early warning aircraft, and can invest in the active sky flash missile that Sweden has not yet completed. Then, this kind of active phased array radar, it is estimated that Iraq will be more interested. At present, attracting funds from Iraq can enable this early-warning system to enter the practical stage earlier, and the cooperation between the two parties is a win-win situation. Scheler is very sure that he will be favored by the Iraqi side.

"Really? You also have an early warning machine project?" Hikmat said with interest. At this time, he has not recovered from the inspection project just now.

"Yes, our early warning aircraft are more advanced than those of the United States and the Soviet Union. The early warning technology we use is active phased array radar. This is a new type of radar. Now, The U.S. has not yet made any breakthroughs," Scheler said. "If you are interested, our next inspection site will be our Ericsson company."

"Yes, we are very interested," Hikmat said.

Check it out, free board and lodging, and, before leaving, you can take away some of their introductions to these projects, so that you can bring back some evidence when you report to His Excellency Qusay, in case His Excellency Qusay is very interested, Not empty-handed.However, the Swedish side obviously misunderstood, thinking that Iraq would invest in these projects, which would be better, and they would spare no effort to introduce to the Iraqi side, for example, the specific performance of these weapons and equipment.

Hikmat is a layman, but it does not mean that his entourage is all laymen. They were moved when they heard the active phased array radar.And the project just inspected made the only navy representative very excited. This navy representative is Mustafa, the captain of the Iraqi TR-1700 submarine.

The project I saw just now is called Stirling AIP system!

Since the submarine was born, it has become a killer hidden under the water, lurking in the dark underwater, relying on its own sonar to monitor everything on the sea surface, using torpedoes to launch its own attack, and becoming a killer under the sea.

However, this killer has a fatal weakness. Under water, it can only rely on the battery to provide power, because the energy provided by the battery is limited, even if it is sailing at a low speed, it can only last for a few days. In an hour, all the power will be consumed.

Therefore, conventional submarines need to float up to at least the depth of the snorkel at regular intervals, ignite the diesel engine they carry, and charge the battery. At this time, the submarine is most dangerous. With enough courage, I took a considerable risk and went up to recharge.

Except for nuclear submarines, nuclear submarines can always sail underwater with their own almost unlimited power.However, not every country can equip nuclear submarines. First of all, nuclear submarines are not sold out, and all countries build them for their own use. Secondly, even if they can be bought, the high price and maintenance costs are not available to ordinary countries. bearable.

Therefore, most countries use conventional submarines.

It is impossible for Sweden to equip nuclear submarines, so they have blazed their own unique path and researched an underwater auxiliary power system, that is, the Stirling AIP system, which is a unique closed-cycle hybrid power system. It is mainly composed of two V4-275R Stirling engines, several cryogenic liquid oxygen tanks and their control equipment.The Stirling engine is a V-type 4-cylinder external combustion engine, and its main components are heater, pressurized combustion chamber, annular regenerator, cooler and cylinder block.When working, the oxygen from the liquid oxygen tank and the fuel from the fuel tank are sprayed into the pressurized combustion chamber respectively, ignited and burned by the hot wire ignition plug, and the starter motor drives the crankshaft to rotate and do work, thereby establishing a working cycle and providing continuous power for the submarine. The total power 150 kW.Stirling AIP system operates smoothly, with little vibration, safe and reliable, high thermal efficiency, low exhaust pollution, low failure rate and long service life.In addition to the 150 kilowatts required for the normal lighting, electronic equipment work and living facilities of the 75 kilowatts of power, the remaining 75 kilowatts of energy can be used to propel the submarine, so that the submarine with a displacement of about 1500 tons can obtain about 6 knots. The underwater speed can be maintained at this speed for 15 consecutive days.

To put it simply, this system is an external combustion engine that is equipped with liquid oxygen and fuel oil, so that it can perform work underwater, and thus obtain continuous power until the fuel and combustion oxidizer are exhausted. .

When he heard these data, Mustafa's eyes lit up. He had already made up his mind. After returning, he must report to His Majesty Qusay, hoping to equip this system.Because of this system, not only can it be applied to new submarines, but it can also be retrofitted to old submarines.However, the last thing the Swedes said was that this system is still in the final development stage. If Iraq is willing to join this plan, it will be installed on a submarine for trial use next year at the latest.

Chapter 698 Red Bird No. [-] Shows Its Power Again

The gunshots last night did not affect the normal life of the citizens of Baghdad. On the second day, the city returned to normal. Except for the troops guarding the intersections on the outskirts of the city, last night's martial law in the city It has been revoked, where the fighting took place, the corpses were carried away, and the ground was cleaned up, as if nothing had happened.

The Kamal brothers' coup failed very badly, because their every move did not escape Qusay's eyes. Although they avoided Barzan's intelligence agencies and the Messiah Bureau, they did not You know, Qusay still has a third force, which is monitoring all the senior generals around, and they are suicidal.

Under the command of Adnan, who stayed behind, the rebellion was wiped out in just one night. All those who participated in the rebellion were arrested and handed over to Watban. You can only spend time in prison.

After going to work, the citizens were still wondering what the battle that happened last night was.

At around nine o'clock, the Iraqi government finally issued a statement. Last night, an unknown force entered downtown Baghdad in an attempt to attack the Iraqi government building in Baghdad.

As a result, Hussein Kamal, the Minister of Sports of Iraq who passed by here, encountered this armed force. Hussein Kamal's personal guards fought heroically with this armed force. Le himself was also unfortunately killed by the bombing. However, their blocking made the military respond. The troops stationed outside rushed into the urban area and finally completely wiped out this force. What kind of identity is currently under verification, it may be a death squad organized by the former Iranian government, or it may be done by a certain enemy force.This unexpected situation fully reflects the bravery of the Minister of Sports. He is the pride of the Iraqi people. At the same time, some personnel spontaneously blocked and died heroically. They are all good!The list listed below is the list of those rebels.

If the original story is disclosed, then the whole world will definitely laugh at it. Look, Saddam’s family is at odds. Even Saddam’s son-in-law is not satisfied with Qusay. Hussein Kamal is not It's not treason, it's the measures taken by Qusay in fear that someone will pose a threat to his power!

"Good-hearted people" are everywhere, especially the original planners of this incident, the United States, will definitely use this as an issue. Their original plan was that even if the Kamal brothers failed to rebel, they could still let their family There was a major split, they just didn't expect the counter-insurgency to go so fast.

Originally thought that the Kamal brothers could completely control that army. Under the riots of that army, they took down Baghdad and then established a new regime. Western forces headed by the United States immediately announced their support for this new regime. If Qusay's army's counterattack, on the one hand, will solve the plight of Israel, on the other hand, the United States has a reason to intervene in Iraqi affairs.

To resolve the Iraqi issue, the United States has adopted a two-pronged approach, with negotiations and struggles.The aircraft carrier formation that came from afar has already reached the outside of the Gulf of Oman, but now it is useless.

If the Kamal brothers succeeded in Baghdad, the United States could follow suit. Now that the Kamal brothers have failed, how will they intervene?

How to solve the problems listed below?

The problems listed in color seem to be unsolvable.

McFarlane was in Tel Aviv, and he couldn't convince the top management in Israel at all. It was very difficult to get them to agree to those conditions.
