And this kind of helicopter is the Super Hornet helicopter that has always been assigned to the Iraqi Navy. It has always been used by the shore. Except for the last mission in the Persian Gulf, which used oil tankers as take-off and landing platforms, there has been no other landing operations.

This time, for the first time, the Super Hornet helicopter will land on a warship of the Iraqi Navy, that is, the training ship that has just entered service for less than half a month.

Just being able to land on it is not a big deal, the key is that they need to land on the painted circle accurately, to land on the exact center of the circle.

The takeoff and landing of helicopters on warships is also very particular. On the deck of large ships, takeoff and landing can be carried out directly, such as the current Qeshm, while for small warships with a displacement of several thousand tons, such as the Iraqi Hedden-class, then landing aids must be used.

Now, they are doing the first autonomous landing, and after that, they will practice the landing aid equipment, which can help Iraqi naval helicopter pilots quickly familiarize themselves with the operation of the ship.

Equipment is used. For the Iraqi army, they never hide new equipment like treasures. They have begun to use training ships to train their members.

On the helicopter platform of the Qeshm, four circles are drawn, which can take off and land four helicopters at the same time.

With the arrival of the training ship, the Iraqi navy is about to enter a period of rapid development.

... In Baghdad, Qusay listened carefully to Yurid's report.

After half a month of reconnaissance, they conducted a total of four reconnaissance, and the reconnaissance satellite in the sky also conducted a detailed reconnaissance of this area, but the result surprised them.

In the Pretoria area, there is indeed a large-scale missile base!

This base is all located in these mountainous areas. The main base is surrounded by ring mountains, just in a flat basin zhōngyāng. Here they have several well-hidden buildings, which are factories for the research and development and production of missiles, and The launching position, and the outer part of this base is guarded by South African troops, but the inner part is guarded by Jewish soldiers.

The acquisition of this information made Yurid take great pains. They bought two local natives, took them through the path, passed through the guards, walked all the way to the inner layer, and that's it. They did not observe inside the base either, but used telescopes and night vision goggles for long-distance observation and confirmation. Then, combined with satellite images, the target was finally determined.

The situation has been clarified, but how to solve it is a difficult problem for Qu Sai and others.

It is very dangerous to send special forces along the investigation trails, because those trails cannot allow special forces soldiers to carry heavy equipment, and the opponent's personnel are several times larger than their own. Even if the special forces personnel can succeed, Their retreat will be full of hardships, and the special forces soldiers sent will not be superhuman, and the possibility of them becoming martyrs will be very high.

It is best to use the air force to bomb, but now, Iraq’s influence has not yet developed to southern Africa, there is no air force base there, it is impossible to take off directly from the Iraqi base, Iraq is not the United States, the United States’ F- The 111 can fly long distances for more than ten hours, which is absolutely impossible for Iraq.

If only the aircraft carrier in Iraq is ready!It is a very refreshing thing to drive the aircraft carrier over and kill their base, but Qusay is just thinking about it, because the Iraqi aircraft carrier is still cutting steel plates on the berth, ready to build, it won't take long , the Americans will find that the Soviet Union started construction at the same time and built two aircraft carriers. Moreover, even if Iraq has one, it cannot be used now. If it is so blatant, it will encounter serious diplomatic problems. In Iraq, it does not have the momentum of the United States. When the time comes, it is absolutely impossible to maintain such a high profile. It is best to carry out this operation without knowing it.

"President Qusay, after our training ship returned to China, the Naval Academy has applied several times, hoping to go on an ocean voyage." At this moment, Nasser, the naval commander next to him, said.

The training ship is used by the Naval Academy. In the Persian Gulf, they can use it however they want. However, if they sail in the ocean, they still need to be approved. The Naval Academy has long been looking forward to this ship returning to China. Therefore, after returning to China, I am familiar with it. The performance of this ship started the application for ocean-going routes.

Chapter 968 Training Ship Dispatch

In the island country, the lights are on for the first time.

Now, the exchange rate of the rì yuan to the U.S. dollar has re-stabilized, fluctuating around 120 rì yuan to 1 dollar. The appreciation of the rì yuan this time, no matter in what sense, the island countries are absolute winners.

Because the appreciation of the rì yuan has made the island country's economy prosperous. Due to the large amount of foreign investment absorbed, the stock and land prices of the island country have more than doubled compared to last year, and in some areas, the value has doubled.Moreover, due to sufficient funds, businessmen from the island country began to buy in large quantities in the United States. The United States wanted to hit the economy of the island country and its export business through the appreciation of the rì yuan, but now, it was the economy of the United States that was hit.

The Great Depression of the American economy has been going on all the time. In order to deal with these crises, the United States has adopted various measures and means, including cutting military expenditures and cutting certain Star Wars projects. The United States is the victim this time.

Many people in the island country have stopped their jobs. The only thing they do every day is to go to the stock exchange, look at the rising numbers, and calculate how much they can earn today.

Many people have taken out all their belongings, mortgaged their houses, and invested in the stock market. This is a way to make a steady profit without losing money, and the profit is too great!

Others who did not take action suddenly found that the gap between their wages and housing prices was getting wider and wider. They wanted to buy a house, but they would never be able to afford it, and the housing price was constantly increasing. , has more than doubled, and is still rising!

Zhang Manyu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, her figure was full of decline. Outside was the bustling metropolis of Tokyo, which was full of lights and feasting. Everything was falling into a kind of crazy growth. This is very unreasonable. Didn't the high-level personnel notice the hidden danger here?

Although she is the implementer of all this, Zhang Manyu feels a sense of loss. She has been here for a year, and the final battle is about to begin. However, in her life, it always seems that something is missing.

Now their investment institutions have accumulated a large amount of wealth like a snowball. As long as they get out, the bubble of the island country's economy will be pierced suddenly and plummet.

She is waiting for the final order to arrive. When the time comes, it's time to end the operations here, right?

86 was an ordinary year, but it was also very unusual. It was very ordinary in the military, but economically, it was a sudden storm.

However, the planner of this incident seems to have forgotten this incident. President Qusay is now preparing for a very important operation.

Remote raid!

Israel's development of ballistic missiles is an absolute threat to Iraq. Therefore, the Israeli base in South Africa must be completely destroyed. President Qusay will never give Israel a chance .

However, how to fight is very particular. First, there are no planes flying that far in Iraq. Second, when you get there, how to quickly resolve the battle and completely destroy the target. Third, how can you safely Withdrawal, fourth, and most critical, how to not be detected.

Finally, after planning, President Qusay approved this operation jointly led by the Navy and Army Aviation, code-named, Mountain Saber.

The main body of the action is the naval training ship and the armed helicopters of the army aviation.

After nearly a month of preparations, the Iraqi naval training ship Qeshm set sail from Saddam's naval port and embarked on a three-month ocean voyage.

After sailing out of the calm Persian Gulf, they came to the wide sea. This is where they really practice martial arts!

"Report, we are about to sail out of the Arabian Sea." A sailor reported excitedly.

On the bridge, a man wearing a straight major general uniform was standing on it, staring at the sea in the distance with serious eyes.This person is the deputy commander of the navy, Karim, who is also in charge of this operation.

After sailing out of the Arabian Sea, you will reach the ocean, where is the wider world of the Iraqi Navy!

"Anything unusual recently?" Karim asked.

"No, except for the day before yesterday, when a reconnaissance plane flew over our heads, it belonged to the Indian Navy. After that, there was no other situation, and we were not driving on the cargo lane."

Karim nodded: "Our army brother, how do you feel?"

"They are all in good spirits, and none of them get seasick."

No seasickness, very good. However, if you want to be a qualified pilot, you must have a strong body and good vestibular function. If you don't get airsick, you won't get seasick.To Karim's surprise, the ground crew didn't get seasick, which is rare.

This training ship is loaded with more than 100 army personnel and their equipment. This time, it is definitely not an ordinary ocean voyage training. They have combat missions!

In the hangar, a crew member climbed into the helicopter he was in charge of, which was the Mi-24 helicopter used by the Army.

In order to be able to be placed in the hangar, the rotor of the helicopter, because it cannot be folded, was removed in four pieces to save space to the greatest extent. Moreover, because this is an army-type helicopter, in the salty environment at sea, it may There is discomfort, so they have been carefully maintaining it. At that time, if there is a mechanical failure and cannot perform combat missions, even if they are not punished, they will not be able to pass their own test.

"This time, it's finally our turn. All along, the Air Force has been operating non-stop. We, the Army, have almost never been in the limelight." A young pilot said.

"Aziz, you can't say that, we fight, definitely not to show off, we are to protect our country, when President Qusay needs us, we will go to the front line at any time, when we don't need us, we will fight Train yourself in all kinds of combat skills, we are soldiers!" Another person said seriously: "Did you forget the terrain along the way?"

"No, I have flown hundreds of times on the simulator, and all the landmarks and situations are in my mind." Aziz said.

For this operation, they made careful preparations, conducted flight training at ultra-low altitude in the northern mountainous area, and put all these landmarks along the way into their heads.All the preparations are for a surprise attack!

Just as he was talking, suddenly, his body tilted involuntarily.

"Attention, we are about to encounter severe weather, please be prepared." At this time, the captain's voice came from the radio.

The weather at sea changes very quickly, and it is far away from the mainland of Iraq. The sea forecast here can only rely on the broadcasts of countries with weather satellites. Although they have avoided the strong wind and waves, they still have a bad sea Encountered.

The hull swayed, and the [-]-ton training ship, which had always been as stable as walking on the ground, began to sway as if it had become a cradle.

This is the real ocean, real sea life!
