Because of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, while the whole world mourned the tragedy, they also raised doubts about nuclear power. If an accident occurs, the power of nuclear power is too great, and it is so great that people feel deep fear in their hearts. !

At this time, the accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Soviet Union, the investigation results have come out, it was entirely caused by operational errors, and the chief engineer who was most responsible that night, Kiatlov, after the accident, He did not direct the emergency rescue, but ran away first, and was arrested. General Secretary Gorbachev personally signed the arrest warrant. Even if this person is not sentenced to death, he may have to stay in prison for the rest of his life.

At a time when international public opinion is increasingly questioning whether nuclear power is a clean and safe energy source, Qusai used practical actions to explain his views: as long as scientific management and serious compliance with rules and regulations can control the risks inherent in nuclear power, Let it benefit mankind.

After all, compared with other forms of power generation, such as thermal power generation, nuclear power does not need to burn a large amount of waste gas, which is more beneficial than harmful to the global environment.

The nuclear reactor used in Iraq is of the same type as the nuclear reactor that happened in the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. There have also been accidents in the United States where the core of a nuclear power plant melted, but no radioactive damage was caused because there was a pressure-resistant shell outside.

Therefore, Qusay is very confident that the current Iraqi nuclear power plant will operate safely. The people working here are all strictly trained personnel, and there are also experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The power shortage in Iraq is already very serious now. The ability of these two units to generate electricity can just alleviate the current situation of power shortage in Iraq.

Hearing Qusay's speech, the Soviet ambassador to Iraq who followed him said with great emotion: "Yes, this accident in our country was completely caused by man-made. Your country can still support our country in this way after this incident. The nuclear power program, our two countries, are truly friendly countries."

In this operation, Iraq helped the Soviet Union to the greatest extent, and the relationship between the two countries became very close again. The Soviet Union and Iraq reached a new series of agreements to help Iraq develop its own industrial construction, especially Yes, the Soviet Union also exported a titanium alloy production line to Iraq. Iraq can no longer import large quantities of this expensive metal, but can use ore to produce it itself. In terms of titanium alloys, the Soviet Union is definitely at the forefront of the world.

In terms of military cooperation, after Iraq's application, the Soviet Union exported the Sam 10 missile to Iraq. This large-scale all-airspace anti-aircraft missile is the famous S-300 in later generations. This made Qusay feel that his own actions this time , still made a good profit.

If it wasn't for the military's strong opposition, Gorbachev even wanted to export the Su-27, the most advanced fighter developed by the Soviet Union, to Iraq. However, due to the unanimous opposition of the military and the fact that Iraq already has advanced fighters , I wonder if this kind of heavy fighter will be imported, so I have to give up.

Of course, these agreements reached are also beneficial to the Soviet Union. From them, the Soviet Union can obtain funds from Iraq. With funds, the Soviet Union can alleviate the current situation.

"Although a major accident occurred, it cannot stop our peaceful use of nuclear energy," Qusay said.His words once again won a round of applause from the scene.

Just before Qusay finished his inspection, he saw his secretary rushing over and reported to him that the Sixth Fleet of the U.S. Navy had organized three aircraft carriers and 34 warships, which had sailed into the Mediterranean Sea and were preparing to carry out A drill!

Qusay ended his trip at the nuclear power plant and returned to Baghdad to discuss countermeasures urgently.

The United States holds exercises in the Mediterranean Sea every year. This time it is considered a routine exercise. What does it have to do with Iraq?The secretary just followed Qusay's instructions and made a report. He didn't know the worries in President Qusay's heart.

Now, the history of the world has begun to undergo various changes under the impetus of Qusay. Qusay originally thought that maybe the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident could escape the end of history, but it was still staged according to the development of history. .Another major event in 86 was the U.S. air strike on Libya. This incident took place in March in history, but now, it has never started. Qusay thought it was his own crossing, which caused the situation in the Middle East to deteriorate. Much has changed and this event will not come.

And now, it seems that the actions of the Americans are only delayed. The Americans only started their actions in May?

"The United States dispatched three aircraft carriers, USS America, USS Coral Sea, and USS Saratoga, with a total of 240 carrier-based aircraft. They have now sailed past Sicily." An intelligence officer reported.

In Sicily, Qusay looked at the map displayed on the projector. It was already very close to Libya. Libya's military targets were all within the strike range of the US aircraft carrier's aircraft.

"Let's talk about what the Americans' next move will be," Qusay said.

"They are just using force in an attempt to put pressure on the colonel," Air Force Commander Major General Abed said.The United States has carried out this kind of bragging activities at other people's doorsteps a lot. Even Iraq has been threatened by the US aircraft carrier.

"They will definitely provoke Libya. It depends on whether the colonel can persist and not accept the provocation." Minister of Defense Adnan was a little worried.

"The colonel must not be able to hold on. If he could hold on, he would not be a colonel." At this time, Taha who was on the side spoke.

"The U.S. plane flew into the territorial waters claimed by Libya, and then Libya would launch missiles to attack the U.S. plane, and then the U.S. would retaliate, and they would have a legitimate reason to act against Libya. Launch a violent attack," Qusay said.

Colonel Gaddafi is such a person, he will not bear any insults imposed on Libya, this is the same as Iraq, and the key issue is that Iraq has a certain amount of capital to confront the United States, while Libya only has empty talk.

"If the United States really launched an attack on Libya, then the most advanced aircraft in Libya, that is, the MiG-25, will not be able to compete with the American fighters at all. The three aircraft carrier battle groups are our Iraqi air force. , is also very strenuous," Abed said.

Now, through access to world-class advanced armaments, the vision of the top Iraqi military has been broadened. They already know how to fight modern wars.Libya is all equipped with Soviet equipment, especially fighter planes and anti-aircraft missiles. In the face of American fighter planes, especially American electronic jammers, the effect of their equipment will be greatly reduced.

"It's a pity that only two of the Super Sevens we exported to Libya have passed. Moreover, the pilots in Libya haven't fully learned how to operate our fighters. Otherwise, they will definitely show their prestige." At this time, Abid was a little nervous. sorry.

With the assistance of electronic experts sent by Ousheng Electronics, the problem of the avionics system of the Super Seven fighters was finally solved, and with the efforts of the Iraqi government, equipment that can process precise plane gaps was purchased from the West. , In this way, the problem of Super Seven’s self-produced avionics has been initially solved. Of course, it is only a preliminary solution, because many of the components are still imported directly from the West. It’s just that the original machine was imported, and now It is imported components, and there is a difference among them, that is, they have the ability to integrate.

After solving the problem, two Super Sevens with avionics installed from Iraq were exported to Libya. Gaddafi personally went to the airport to receive the two fighters. The imported MiG-25 is even better, just look at the cockpit, the interior of the cockpit is very tidy.

It's just that the pilots in Libya are still doing adaptive flying and don't have combat capabilities.

If it is other fighters, such as F-20, then Iraq can send its own pilots as volunteers to help them fight against the Americans, and by the way, they can also test their combat capabilities. However, this super seven fighters are from Iraq Foreign trade aircraft, Iraq itself does not have equipment, how to fight?Moreover, the missiles exported to Libya are not American-made, but legal-made Magic and Super Matra missiles. At this time, Iraq’s self-produced Sky Flash missiles have limited production capacity and are temporarily for their own use.

Of course, Qusay still has his own considerations. If he does not intend to tear himself apart with the United States, it is very unwise to directly confront the United States. However, it does not mean that the Americans can attack the Arab world at will!

Qu Sai suddenly asked: "How is our anti-radiation seeker research going?"

Chapter 953 Super long-range missile

An aircraft carrier is a giant at sea and a living demonstration of a country's most powerful force.

Generally speaking, when the United States deals with ordinary conflicts, it always operates with a single aircraft carrier. To deal with higher-level conflicts, it uses a battle group composed of two aircraft carriers. If it uses three aircraft carriers, it is definitely... treating the other party as The most powerful existence!

The reason is simple, an aircraft carrier, the United States will be equipped with a standard air wing of 20 F-14 Tomcat fighter jets, 20 F/A-18 attack aircraft, 4 EA-6B Prowler electronic warfare aircraft, 16 A-6E Intruder attack aircraft, 4 E-2C Hawkeye early warning aircraft, 6 S-3A/B Viking anti-submarine aircraft helicopters, 8 3G/HSH Sea King helicopters, this scale of equipment is enough to handle a The air forces of ordinary countries, just those 20 Tomcat fighter jets, can sweep the air forces of many countries.

But now, the three aircraft carriers have launched their own formations in the calm middle of the Mediterranean Sea, and they are showing their might all the time.

On the deck of the Coral Sea aircraft carrier, a dispatcher was waving his hands, guiding a Tomcat fighter to the exact position of the C-13 catapult, where the nose landing gear was hooked by the drag block, and then, The other guide on the side pointed forward with his right hand, and as soon as he lowered his body, he saw the fuselage of the Tomcat fighter suddenly paused, and then, like a roaring monster, rushed forward with all his might, at the same time , steam leaked from the trench below.

At this moment, the pilot felt that his whole body was tightly pressed against the seat, which was uncomfortable, but he was very refreshed. Then, his body lightened suddenly, and the plane had already left the catapult. He calmly pulled the lever back and began to climb.

Compared with the flying deck, the biggest advantage of the catapult is that it allows the fighter to take off with the maximum weight. The current F-14 is full of fuel, and four huge phoenix missiles are added. They execute, It is the air defense mission of the fleet.

Because their fleet is about to sail into the northern part of the Gulf of Sirte, which is 32 kilometers north of the "death line" announced by Gaddafi, which is 30°200 north latitude.

Gaddafi announced that 32°30 north latitude is Libya's airspace. However, this is not accepted by the United States and other Western countries. What they recognize is only twelve nautical miles from the internationally recognized coastline.

With the launch of the F-14 fighter jets, an effective outer defense circle has been established. Then, several ugly planes also shot into the air one after another.

The front is big and the back is small, as if top-heavy. Moreover, there are two chins under the front, which are the air intakes of the engine. In addition to the front glass, there is also glass on the side. This is a plane for four people, and the vertical plane of the plane There is also a bulge on the tail. This ugly aircraft is an electronic warfare aircraft of the US Navy.

This time, they are here to provoke. As long as the Syrian army below responds, the fighter planes that follow will bomb. However, before carrying out the mission, they must ensure their own safety. Therefore, they use The electronic jammer is preparing to carry out an all-round and full-band electronic jamming against Libya.

And some other equally ugly aircraft, the A-6 attack aircraft, carried important anti-radiation missiles, preparing to strike Libya's surface-to-air missile force.

A squadron of F-14 fighters is responsible for air dominance and cover. However, according to the current situation in Libya, they have been easily shot down two fighters in 81. Now, they probably dare not take off. ?

The E-2C early warning aircraft has also faithfully carried out its mission, monitoring at a distance of 150 kilometers from the death line.

"Report, the US Navy's fighter planes are getting closer and closer to our death line." In Tripoli, the capital of Libya, Gaddafi received the report.

If it is a real attack, the U.S. Navy will definitely enter at an ultra-low altitude, so that without an early warning aircraft in Libya, the ground early warning radar will not be able to respond at all, but now, they are provocative, so they deliberately fly high to let Libya's ground radar found it very far away.

"What about our air force? Let our air force immediately take off fighter planes to meet the enemy!" Gaddafi said.

Hearing his words, Air Force Commander Ali-Sharif-Rife said: "Report Colonel, our air force is fully prepared, even if we are all shot down, we must fight bravely!"

Hearing what he said, Gaddafi frowned: "Could it be that our air force can't win a single battle?"

Hearing this, Ali looked sad: "Reporting Colonel, our fighter planes are mainly MiG-23 and MiG-25 imported from the Soviet Union. After rushing to the front, they were shot down by their missiles. Our Super Seven can give it a go, but this kind of fighter jet has just started training, and the pilots are not yet familiar with their performance..."

Hearing this, Gaddafi had no choice but to change his mind. He remembered very clearly the last battle in 81. The US naval aviation was very powerful.

He didn't mind letting all the pilots who couldn't beat the Americans go to death, but in this case, Libya would be very embarrassed, so he had to give up this idea.

"Our surface-to-air missile force is closely watching the enemy's movements," Gaddafi said.
