Without a digital map, the accuracy of cruise missiles would be reduced, especially for the Red Bird [-], which had flown hundreds of kilometers and accumulated more errors.

Therefore, if Iraq wants to attack Israel, then it must have a digital map!Not only the ones listed in color are needed, but even the ones in Turkey are needed. Qusay’s excuse is naturally to prevent any changes in the U.S. forces at the Turkish base, but his actual idea is to take advantage of this opportunity to transfer all All digital maps must come, so that no matter where you want to attack in the future, you can use them at any time, and you don't have to spend a lot of effort and money to buy them.

Within five years, it is impossible for Iraq to have its own reconnaissance satellites and digital maps needed for cruise missiles. Iraq has no sources. Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity, Qusay made this request.

Anyway, what Qusay needs is a map of the Middle East, not a digital map of the Soviet Union, which poses no threat to the Soviet Union, and now he has a more tenable reason: to attack Israel, this kind of digital map is needed!

Balkovsky didn't expect that Qusay would make such a request, so he was surprised and asked, "What do you want this kind of thing for?"

"Used to attack Israel, do you think that if we attack Israel by air, we will use the method of bombing by plane? Our advanced fighter planes are not enough, and we can't consume them in such an operation at one time." "We will attack with cruise missiles," Qusay said.

He also said that he was unwilling to attack the nuclear facilities listed in Israel, and that he was cannon fodder. Now, he even has a plan for how to attack. Balkovsky thought about it, but said: "You use cruise missiles? Your side From which country did you import the cruise missile? Is the accuracy high enough? We only have one chance!"

Until now, it is still a secret that Iraq possesses cruise missiles. No one would believe that the military industry in Iraq will develop so fast. Have a cruise missile?

"We are using our cruise missiles." Qusay said: "If you want to attack Israel, the most suitable choice is cruise missiles. However, we don't have a digital map, so if the Soviet Union really wants to destroy Israel Nuclear facilities, and if we need to do it in Iraq, then, please provide us with a digital map of the entire Middle East, so that we can do it."

If you want to get Iraq involved, you can, but please give us the full set of digital maps. This is Qusay's condition.

This condition is simple to say, and Barkovsky felt that after reporting to Moscow, they should agree, and this would not threaten the interests of the Soviet Union.

Originally, Barkovsky thought that Qusay would propose the R-73 missiles and helmet sights that were rejected last time. He had already prepared his arguments, but now, they are not used?

"I will report to Moscow, Your Excellency Qusay, under the current situation in the Middle East, Israel's possession of nuclear weapons is a very big threat, especially it will seriously damage the vital interests of Iraq. We must get rid of this cancer and fight against it. A nuclear base that falls apart!" Barkovsky said.

"Then I look forward to the good news." Qusay said, and after finishing the business, Qusay asked casually: "Is your country satisfied with that F-14 fighter jet?"

satisfy?Barkovsky thought, when the Soviet technicians went to the hangar, there were five F-14s inside, but most of them were used as organ donations and were dismantled in a mess.However, the Iraqis were quite affordable, allowing them to dismantle and make up for the rest of the aircraft, and finally got together an aircraft, especially the radar system. That kind of radar antenna is enough for Soviet technicians to study for a while. .Although the fighter plane is incomplete, the phoenix missile provided by Iraq is genuine. Except for the failure of the thermal battery, the rest of the parts are complete. After the Soviet technicians replaced the new battery, they discovered that the missile even At a level that can be launched at any time!

Qusay has already got the best one of them into flight, and researched it with Chinese technicians, intending to thoroughly understand these technologies, and use those rags to replace the production line of Mi-24, which is a big deal. The harvest, although the Mi-24 is a bit outdated now, but this is just the beginning. After Iraq has completed the self-produced helicopter project, it has a sufficient foundation and can carry out the research and development of the next generation of armed helicopters at any time. Of course, It will take another two years to get a large number of technicians from the Soviet Union, which would be the best.

"It will be of great benefit for us to deal with the US Navy's carrier-based aircraft in the future." Barkovsky said, his answer was neither humble nor overbearing. Of course, he could not say that the aircraft was taken back for research, and then to improve the Soviet Union. He can only say that the Soviet Union is studying the performance of this kind of aircraft, so that the air force of the Soviet Red Army can improve the confrontation ability of its own pilots after encountering this kind of aircraft in the future.

Of course, there are great benefits, Qusay thought, at least improving the Soviet Union's radar technology for five years.You will only cling to the electronic tubes. The probability of a nuclear war in the future is almost zero. Electronics and informatization are the trend.

"So, I wonder if the Soviet Union is interested in other American-made aircraft?" Qusay asked.

Other American aircraft?In addition to the F-14, what Iraq can get is probably the F-4 and F-5. I am afraid that the Soviet Union would not like this kind of aircraft. The Soviet Union has already studied it. Could it be Iraq's own F-20? However, this light aircraft has little reference value for the Soviet Union.

Barkovsky never dreamed what kind of plane Qusay was proposing.

"Some time ago, we found a strange plane flying over Iran at an altitude of 10 meters at a speed of Mach 25 for nearly [-] minutes. Later, the other party suddenly fell down. This type of aircraft is not a MiG-[-], but an American-made reconnaissance aircraft." Qusay said.

At an altitude of 25 meters, Mach 14?Barkovsky was taken aback, the performance of the MiG-[-] could not keep up.Thinking of the statement about the Soviet air defense force, Barkovsky felt that the value of this aircraft was probably higher than that of the F-[-]!

Chapter 623 The United Arab World

"You mean, you shot down a plane flying at a speed exceeding Mach [-] at an altitude of [-] meters?" Barkovsky said.

Qusay shook his head: "We didn't shoot it down, the opponent dropped it by itself, it may be a mechanical failure, we are currently looking for the wreckage of the plane, but we haven't found it yet."

If you don't find it, what's the use of telling yourself?Balkovsky thought about it, but then he realized that His Excellency Qusay's words must be believed or not fully believed. When talking to him, one has to guess what he wants to express at any time.

"If you really find the wreckage of the plane, then I hope you can transfer them to the Soviet Union, because the Soviet side is also very interested in this kind of American reconnaissance plane." Barkovsky said.

"There is no problem at all. If we can find it, we will definitely pass it on to you. However, we also need your assistance very much. I believe you are also very clear about the combat effectiveness of the Israeli Air Force. We need to cooperate with the Israeli Air Force." For countermeasures, especially close combat, we need R-73 missiles and helmet sights," Qusay said.

Last time, the energy of the F-14 was not strong enough to allow the Soviet Union to agree to export these two things to itself. Now, Qusay threw out the blackbird again. This thing is definitely attractive enough to the Soviet Union!

If the Soviet Union refuses to exchange these two items, then Qusay will send these items to the big eastern country, where there will be technicians working with Iraqi technicians to thoroughly understand the technology of this aircraft.In short, Qusay wants to maximize the interests of that blackbird.

Hearing that the other party finally talked about the R-73 and helmet sights mentioned last time, Barkovsky suddenly felt that he could not utter the words he had prepared. Originally, the meaning given to him by the Soviet high-level was If Iraq continues to insist on these two things, then Iraq can be allowed to import MiG-29 fighters as a whole, so that R-73 missiles and helmet sights will be available.

Although Soviet fighters occupy a large market in Iraq, fighters such as MiG-21, MiG-23, and MiG-25 constitute the main force of the Iraqi Air Force.But after Qusay came to the fore, Iraqi military aircraft began to shift to the West. Mirage F1, F-20, Mirage 4000, and Soviet military aircraft have gradually withdrawn from the Iraqi market.In this way, it is very unfavorable for the Soviet Union to exert influence on Iraq.Therefore, after discussion, the high-level officials agreed in principle to export this fighter to Iraq. Anyway, in their plan, the MiG-29 will also be exported to the Warsaw Pact countries within two years. By then, the T-10 will already be equipped. force.Moreover, the fighter planes exported to Iraq can bring back huge profits to the Soviet Union. The Soviet instructors and ground maintenance personnel who followed the MiG-29 can let the Soviet Union exert greater pressure on the Iraqi Air Force just like the original MiG-25. Influence.

But now, the other party did not make this request in agreeing to air strikes on Israeli nuclear reactors, but said that they want a digital map. Only with that can Iraq be able to bomb, and then Qusay made this request, but, It's a completely different thing to exchange it with something that can fly at 3.5 times the speed of sound.

That thing, to the Soviet Union, is a very mysterious existence. They know that it is a new American reconnaissance plane, but they have not shot down one so far, and this reconnaissance plane that happened to crash in the Middle East, If the Soviet Union knew about it, they would definitely want it very much!

Qusay was very vague, saying only that they were looking for it, but Barkovsky knew that they must have got the wreckage, and if the Soviet Union agreed to his request, the wreckage would be found, and if not, then the wreckage would be found. No, it's that simple.

"I will respond to Moscow, and I hope you can find the wreckage of the plane as soon as possible." Barkovsky said.

"Please also provide the digital map as soon as possible, so that we can prepare for the attack as soon as possible." Qu Sai said.

The Middle East has become a place for great powers to play games. The forces of the United States and the Soviet Union are eager to intervene here. The United States mainly uses Israel, as well as pro-American countries such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.The Soviet Union, mainly through pro-Soviet countries such as Syria, Iraq and Egypt.

However, the situation has begun to slowly change. The United States has gradually discovered that their traditional allies, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, will be very disobedient when the United States violates the interests of the Arab world, while the Soviet Union has discovered that Iraq is slowly Move closer to the west.

What neither the United States nor the Soviet Union discovered was that a country with the same core began to appear among the countries in the Middle East. Improve and gradually develop into the core of the countries in the Middle East!

After meeting with the Soviet ambassador to Iraq in Qusay, the two important figures from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait were welcomed again.

Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait have gradually formed a powerful group in the Middle East that is closely united, and at the same time radiates influence to the entire Arab world.

"Your Excellency Qusay, the detonation of the nuclear bomb by Israel this time is a threat to us Arab countries in the Middle East!" Prince Sultan said worriedly.

Although they already knew that Iraq was secretly conducting a nuclear program in the last conversation, they were still very worried that Israel possessed nuclear weapons.

"Yeah, now, they are just an underground nuclear test, which has affected the groundwater source of a province in Jordan. The power of nuclear weapons is very powerful. Israel has nuclear weapons, so it is hanging over our heads at any time. A threat from the world," Prince Fahd also said.

Prince Sultan and Prince Fahd have had several phone calls with Qusay before, including the resolutions at the UN General Assembly, which were discussed with Qusay in advance. They have been fighting against the Israeli nuclear attack. The experiment, however, now communicates face-to-face, and still reveals worry.

Israel's original military strength is already very strong. In repeated Middle East wars, Arab countries fought Israel in groups, and Israel singled out Arab countries. However, except for the Atonement Day War, the Arab countries accounted for some Apart from being cheap, Arab countries suffer the rest of the time.

"Yes, that's why we created all kinds of momentum in the United Nations, created all kinds of public opinion around the world, and put strong pressure on Israel." Qusay said.

"However, Israelis have never been afraid of UN resolutions. These activities of ours have not had any effect. Israel is still doing its own way and has never taken UN resolutions seriously. And the resolutions of the Security Council, and It was vetoed by the United States with a veto," said Prince Sultan.

"However, at least in the world, the reputation of the Jews has begun to deteriorate." Qusay said: "Our purpose in the United Nations is not to let Israel bow its head at all. Israel will never agree to the inspection. We Just let the whole world know what Israel is doing, they are lying to the world, they are secretly developing nuclear weapons!"

Hearing what Qusay said, both of them cheered up. Yes, at least for now, the reputation of Israel has become rotten in the world. The whole world knows that Israel is developing nuclear weapons, and it refuses to If you don't accept the investigation, if you switch to any country, I am afraid that the sanctions from all over the world will follow. However, because of the reason of the United States, the sanctions and other measures cannot be implemented, but their goal has been achieved!

"In this case, counting on verification will not play any role. What we need is to strike and completely wipe out Israel's nuclear weapons production capabilities." Qusay said: "Israel has nuclear weapons, which is our entire Arab country. Threats to the world, we must strike down Israel's ability."

strike!Qusay's words made the two even more excited. If Israel's nuclear production capacity is destroyed, then the Arab world will lose one threat!

"But will the Soviet Union do anything?" Prince Fahd asked. He misunderstood. Now that the Soviet fleet is in action, their purpose is probably to attack the Israeli nuclear base.

"It wasn't the Soviets who did it, but we did it ourselves." Qusay said: "The war against Israel is what we in the Arab world must carry out. The Soviet Union will not make up its mind to really attack Israel, relying on its own strength, Always the most important."

Hit yourself?Prince Sultan's face was full of excitement: "So, what do our two countries need to do? We will fully support Iraq's attack, even if we are asked to send troops ourselves, we are willing."

"We need some support." Qusay said: "Our Arab world in the Middle East is a united whole. At this critical moment, we need to organize a military exercise to prove our existence. We in Iraq, Willing to hold a military exercise with the Saudi, Kuwaiti, and Jordanian armies on land near the Gulf of Aqaba, codenamed Babylonian Rage."

There, it is located at the northwestern tip of Saudi Arabia and the southern tip of Jordan, only tens of kilometers away from the border with Israel.

At this time, it is obviously of great significance to hold such a military exercise. Such a military exercise is aimed at Israel!
