The Tu-22m is a twin-engine variable-sweep wing supersonic bomber developed by the Tupolev Design Bureau of the former Soviet Union. It was nicknamed "Backfire" by NATO. It has nuclear strike, conventional strike and anti-ship capabilities, and can penetrate defenses at low altitudes. It also
There is a nickname "aircraft carrier killer"
This is the best bomber owned by Russia that has passed the test of time. The only country to which Russia has exported is India, but India has only bought three export-oriented bombers. This means that Russia actually retains most of the best technologies.
In your own hands.
This type of bomber has a combat radius of 1,500 kilometers, which is enough to cover the entire Middle East, and even most countries in Eastern Europe. Owning this type of bomber means that you can bomb other people's capitals from long distances. Of course, you must be able to enter.
OK, but no matter what, this is a huge deterrent.
The Russians are quite interesting. Although they have no export technology, they gave Basra the original Tu-22m. Compared with the three unlucky Indians, it is much better and almost maintains complete technical performance.
Moreover, Russia also provides a full set of technical maintenance.
There is no way, Canglong bought too much, otherwise even if it is a military alliance, Russia cannot easily sell this bomber. If Basra has nuclear weapons, then this bomber can immediately transform into a strategic bomber, the so-called combat brigade bomber
The only difference from bombers is that strategic bombers can carry nuclear weapons.[
As for nuclear weapons? Soryu has never thought about it, mainly because he has no technology and no money to research. Even Russia cannot provide technical experts for Basra's nuclear weapons. Secondly, because the Americans are very taboo about this. Once Basra develops nuclear weapons, isn't it?
Give Americans a chance to beat you?
Saddam had not yet developed it, but he was beaten out of office by the Americans and finally hanged. As a leader, Soryu was not that stupid.
Therefore, nuclear weapons are a deterrent, but they are also a trouble. For Canglong, its negative effects are much higher than the value it brings.
Therefore, for Soryu, nuclear weapons are not as good as missile troops. Soryu has expanded the missile troops. In the past, the missile troops in Basra were all air defense, but the real missile troops should have attack capabilities, so Soryu purchased medium-range missiles this time.
Guide to the earth.
This is the latest medium-range ground missile developed by Russia, specifically used on the S-300. It is different from what most people think. The S-300 and the more advanced S-400 can actually be used for ground attacks.
, so what Canglong purchased this time was only the ground guide, and there was no need to purchase other vehicles.
A set of S-300 missiles consists of three vehicles, a radar vehicle, a launch vehicle, and a communication vehicle. These three vehicles form a missile array.
Of course, the radar vehicle and communication vehicle can be hidden. During wartime, only the launch vehicle is needed. This also greatly reduces the risk of this kind of missile. Almost anyone with some common sense knows that the best way to deal with the missile is
It's not a missile defense system, but it actively destroys your radar vehicles and communications vehicles.
As long as these two vehicles are destroyed, it is impossible to launch the missile, because the launch of the missile requires the target locking of the radar and the launch button of the communication vehicle. The communication vehicle can also be called a command vehicle. Without the command vehicle to press the button, the radar
When the vehicle is locked, only the launch vehicle can be used, and the guide is basically scrapped.
This time, Russia also provided technology exports for this kind of missile, which means that in the future, the missile factory in Basra can produce both ground and air missiles.
But before that, Canglong purchased a large quantity of Russian stocks of missiles, one thousand two hundred pieces, because he was pressed into a hurry.
The equipment of the field division is not mentioned, because the field division is no longer a force that needs large-scale reinforcement. In modern warfare, the role of the guidance force and the air force is particularly important.
With these things, Canglong finally felt at ease. Now he only had to wait for the Russians to transport the things. This time Canglong paid in advance, and in full, to repay the Russians for their help.
In Nikolayev's words, the Russian government was very happy after receiving this order and getting the money. Now all the factories are rushing to manufacture, even delaying the purchase of arms by other countries, and fully producing what Basra needs.
of armaments.
"When will the aircraft carrier arrive?" Canglong suddenly asked.
Faced with this question, Nikolay's expression became a little frozen. They had already discussed this issue last time. If Canglong hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten it. However, the news of the launch of the Russian aircraft carrier has been known to the whole world, and now the sea has begun.
I tried it. According to the agreement reached before, this aircraft carrier should come to Basra for a tour.
But there has been no movement from the Russians so far, which makes Canglong very unhappy. Nikolay also knows that it is impossible not to give an accurate answer. In the end, he can only say: "One month, one month later the Peter the Great will definitely visit Basra."
, and stay here for a while.”
"You may have guessed why I need your aircraft carrier here. Now Basra is under attack from both sides, Kuwait is ready to move, and Iran plans to fight me to the death. As long as you can come to support me, even if it is a demonstration, these two countries will have to weigh it.
." Canglong said.
"Kuwait?" Nikolaev looked surprised. "Kuwait is a neutral country. If it is not invaded, it cannot violate the agreement and actively attack other countries, even Basra."
"Don't be so petty with me, don't you know that the so-called agreement is only for the weak? Now there are Americans instigating Kuwait, and the timid king will definitely attack us with the support of the Americans, and even more
What's more, there is another possibility. If I don't withdraw from Khuzestan, the central government will ask Kuwait to send troops." Cang Long worriedly said, "The king will flirt with us even if he doesn't have the guts. I'm not a street person.
The lady next to me can be flirty if she wants to be flirtatious."[
Nikolay fell silent. He knew that what Soryū said meant that Soryū would not show mercy to any country or force that invaded Basra. Now it was up to Russia to express its stance. Bringing the aircraft carrier over would mean that Russia would contain the United States. As long as the United States could be contained,
, leaving the Americans with no possibility of taking action. Iran and Kuwait are threatening, but in the eyes of Canglong, they are nothing more than paper tigers.
"I need to report your intentions to the Ministry of National Defense. Only the president has the right to issue this order." Nikolaev said.
"I hope you can do it as soon as possible. If the Americans take action against me, you will have no good fruits to eat in the future." Canglong said coldly.
Kuwait is really nothing in his eyes, but he is afraid of irritating the Americans, who will attack him when they are angry, and now they do not have the strength to face the US military.
In Kuwait, the US military has three bases. The most threatening ones are Jaber Air Base and Doha Barracks. Among them, Jaber Air Base, only 75 kilometers away from Basra, is home to the 332nd Expeditionary Group and the 4406th Combat Group of the US Air Force.
The US Army's Southwest Asia Joint Task Force, about 1,500 people, has F-15, F-16, -10,\
The Doha Barracks is located northwest of Kuwait City, closer to the border with Basra, only 60 kilometers away. It is home to more than 10,000 people from the Central Command Kuwait U.S. Army Command and the Kuwait Joint Task Force. It is the core base and base of the U.S. Army in the Middle East.
Logistics support center. It stores more than 300 M11 tanks.\
Faced with the eager gaze of the Americans in Kuwait, Canglong may be doomed if he makes one mistake. But in the current situation, he must find a bodyguard. The Russians deserve it. As long as the Russian aircraft carrier enters the Port of Basra, even if there is no threat
Damn it, Canglong dares to go to war with Iran and Kuwait at the same time.
Nikolay nodded, and finally understood why Canglong wanted to purchase so much armaments. In fact, it was because he lacked confidence. War is not based on personal strength. If he just assassinated someone or singled out, of course Canglong would not be afraid. But now he is facing
The U.S. military is grouped together and can kill you with just one missile. What's the use of being stronger individually?
"Please allow me to ask one last question." Nikolay said suddenly.
"Say." Cang Longda has a way of speaking quickly when he has something to say, farting quickly when he has something to say, and after finishing speaking, he quickly goes back to report the situation.
"You cooperate with us but leave your motherland aside. I really can't understand this. Can you give me an explanation?" Nikolaev said.
Canglong was stunned, and a smile suddenly appeared on his solemn face: "If you are asking this on your behalf, then I can tell you my personal answer. I am loyal to my motherland, not a politician. If you are asking this on behalf of Russia,
question, then I can give you a satisfactory answer. I will not do anything that harms the interests of the motherland. Likewise, when cooperating with you, I will not do anything that harms your interests. Are you satisfied?"
Nikolay was stunned for a moment, nodded, and then left in a hurry without saying anything. In fact, the Russians were still worried that Canglong would leak the technology to China, so they also maintained some caution in cooperation, but Canglong gave
The answer dispelled Nikolay's doubts.
The meaning of the above paragraph is that anything I personally do here is related to my motherland, so I will not harm your interests, at least when we cooperate.
In fact, Canglong did not give the technology he obtained to China. If Canglong was not patriotic, he would admit it, but his own explanation was that the time was not yet ripe, not to mention that his superiors did not trust him very much.
In the past when there were many technologies, it was also a matter of sticking your hot face to someone else's cold butt.
He is loyal to the motherland, but he is not loyal to some politicians who only care about interests. Pushing technology through will only help some politicians at best, but those politicians may tell all these things to the Russians, and finally let them
He lost his biggest partner, the Russians.
There is almost no doubt about this, because there are too many people in the country who want to kill him. Once he loses the support of Russia, no matter how powerful he is, he will not be able to prop up Basra and achieve his ultimate goal.
He spent so much effort and invested so much money, mainly to deal with that bigger enemy. This was the first desperate decision he made in his life, and it will also be the last one. In terms of success or failure, all of this will be decisive.
will end.
Therefore, he cannot afford to lose and cannot lose
