Babylonian Empire

At the eight-second countdown, thick smoke billowed from the launch pad, and the main engine of the Energy rocket had been successfully ignited.The scene was shaken violently, and the whole big guy weighing several thousand tons began to try it eagerly.

When the countdown counted down to zero seconds, the four boosters attached to the main body of the rocket began to ignite. The rocket drove the more than 100-ton Blizzard space shuttle away from the launch pad and pierced into the sky.

There was joy at the scene, and the launch was a success!

The next step is to be able to accurately enter the orbit!

150 seconds after launch, the booster rocket burns out and separates from the main rocket.

480 seconds after launch, the Energia rocket has gloriously completed its mission, sending the space shuttle to an altitude of 250 kilometers and is about to enter orbit.

Then, the main rocket fell off, and the Blizzard started its own mobile engine, adjusted its orbit, and accurately entered a circular orbit of 260 kilometers.

The ocean-going survey ship in the Pacific Ocean accurately captured the space shuttle and entered orbit precisely!

The disintegration of the Soviet Union led to the death of many projects, and some of them have re-rooted and sprouted in foreign lands, bearing fruitful results.

Relying on the strong national strength brought about by economic development and the concentration of the power of the Arab world, Iraq has come to the forefront of the world in the high-tech aerospace field. (Please search, novels are better and faster!)

The first thousand and 130 chapters of the second night flight

On the Arabian Sea, today is a bit rough.

Waves beat against the hull, and the tens of thousands of tons of hull swayed a little on the sea surface, and the deck above swayed from side to side for a while.

"Forward at full speed, three right rudders, ready to take off against the wind." Inside the bridge, Captain Abdul of the Baghdad ordered calmly.

On the deck below, the lights were flickering. This was a night flight training.

Taking off and landing on an aircraft carrier is a very dangerous action, especially at night. Landing on an aircraft carrier is even more dangerous. Therefore, even in the US Navy, all carrier-based aircraft pilots have the ability to take off at night, but only 60.00 % of the pilots have the ability to land at night, which leads to their attack operations, which are usually launched after the early morning, and when the carrier fleet returns, the sky is already bright.

In order for an aircraft carrier to have a real combat capability, not only must it be able to dispatch during the day, but it must also have combat effectiveness at night. Therefore, after they have mastered the ability to take off and land during the day, they began to challenge night flight .

On the inclined deck, a twin-propeller fixed-wing aircraft stopped at the take-off position, and the deck operators used fluorescent sticks to direct the release.

On the top of this plane, there is a small mushroom plate on its back, which is Iraq's own carrier-based early warning plane.

This kind of early warning machine was improved from the e-2 Hawkeye early warning machine in the United States. At the beginning, Qusay ordered this kind of early warning machine from the United States by relying on his good relationship with the United States. One batch, with subsequent orders.The total eventually came to ten, and so on.On an aircraft carrier, maintaining a squadron with a size of five planes is enough to undertake uninterrupted pre-warning tasks.

However, when the United States exported this kind of early warning machine, it had already discounted it, resulting in a big gap in performance between the early warning machine and the US military's own equipment.Iraq after several years of land-based use.His own phased array early warning machine has been equipped with troops, and at the same time, he began to use Ericsson God Eye technology to gradually modify this early warning machine.

In this way, it is also to prevent the use of equipment produced in the United States during combat, and the technical performance is well known to the United States itself.At that time, it will be very simple for the United States to find its loopholes. As long as the United States specifically interferes with its radar, the early warning aircraft will become a display.

Therefore, Iraq made improvements on its own.Only when the main equipment is self-produced can it be able to fight without being controlled by others.

When buying it, Qusay paid more attention to its body structure.Very suitable for aircraft carriers to carry, if Iraq self-developed.Since there is no experience in the development of this small fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft, the cycle will definitely be very long, and the number of equipment is very small, so this shortcut was taken. In order to avoid being controlled by others, Iraq imported a considerable number of accessories.

The several crew members in the warning plane adjusted their seats, all of them forward, and the seat belts tightly tied them to the seats. As long as they are air crew members, they have to face the huge impact of this kind of bombardment when taking off. Overload, every time they finish shooting, they will have a feeling: cool!

The front wheel was fixed on the catapult, and all the preparations were completed. Following the physical movements of the deck staff, the light stick pointed, and the pilot of the pre-warning machine immediately opened the throttle to full speed, and the propeller accelerated. At the same time, the deck Steam was overflowing, and the pre-warning machine rose into the sky from the top of the inclined deck.

Most of the enemy's attacks on aircraft carriers will be launched at night, so the first thing that has the ability to fly at night must be a carrier-based early warning aircraft.

As the pre-warning plane took off, Reyer also made preparations in the take-off area of ​​the jump deck.

After several years of operation, the Iraqi Navy discovered that the method of leapfrog plus bomb launch is their best choice. Missile launch allows the aircraft to take off with the maximum load. In this way, the aircraft was designed with various Each ability will be perfectly reflected.

However, another problem faced by the launcher is that the launcher is a product that is not very reliable. It needs at least two weeks for repairs. If it is used intensively, it will have to be repaired once a week. Even American bombers are no exception. Ultra-high temperature and high pressure steam will cause damage to pistons and cylinders.

(This can be seen in the movie. The Americans wanted to take off the fighter plane quickly, but the captain got a report from the deck staff that the catapult was malfunctioning, and the follow-up plane could not take off.)

In this way, the ski jump can have the ability to quickly attack. Therefore, the carrier-based aircraft pilots on the Baghdad, except for the slow e-2 must take off from the catapult, the rest of the fighters can Two take-off methods are adopted, bomb launch and ski jump take-off.

After passing through the cockpit and seeing the gestures of the pilot below, Reyer turned on the afterburner, and the fighter plane began to soar into the sky from the first jump deck along the white line.

Outside the cockpit was the dark night sky. Reyel's Su-27k fighter, under the command of the pre-warning plane, carried out the subject of tonight's exercise, fast and long-range interception!

Around the Baghdad, there are several large warships guarding the left and right. Among them, the warship with a displacement of nearly [-] tons is vigilantly searching the surrounding sea and air. It is the large Iraqi cruiser, the Mosul. It is a Glory-class cruiser in the Soviet era. Iraq invested funds to complete its construction and joined the Iraqi Navy. This warship has perfect long-range, medium-range and short-range air defense capabilities and is the patron saint of aircraft carriers.

In addition to the various vertically launched anti-aircraft missiles, the more daunting weapon of the Mosul is the cruise missiles on both sides.

After dismantling the huge granite anti-ship missiles, where each anti-ship missile is located, it becomes a quadruple-mounted cruise missile launching device, which is greatly reduced due to technological progress, especially the folding wing structure Therefore, the Mosul carried 64 ground-attack cruise missiles. When this improved version of the cruiser appeared in front of the world, even the Americans were surprised. It is very dangerous for warships to approach the waters around any country.

Next to the Mosul is a Dreadnought III dedicated air defense destroyer, which uses a four-sided phased array radar, which is sufficient to cope with complex environments.

The disintegration of the Soviet Union allowed the Iraqi aircraft carrier formation to make a breakthrough, and their shortcoming, air defense, was completely resolved.

Further outward, there were two Dreadnought-class ships and two Modern-class ships, and there was an Oscar-class nuclear submarine under the water where no one noticed.

With such a formation, even if it is dealing with the US aircraft carrier battle group, it will never lose the wind. The Iraqi Navy already has the ability to confront the US Navy head-on.

Of course, it’s not just these. Iraq’s second aircraft carrier, the Basra, a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with a displacement of more than 8 tons, is undergoing final sea trials. After the sea trials are completed, it will join the Iraqi Navy and form the second Aircraft carrier battle group.At the same time, another Glory-class ship will also be built and join the Iraqi Navy.

At this time, Russia, Ukraine and other countries will eliminate a large number of warships due to their own lack of funds. Iraq has purchased a modern class and two dreadnought class ships at extremely low prices, and they will all join the second class. aircraft carrier formation.

Iraq's self-produced frigate has completed all sea trials and has been delivered to the Iraqi Navy. Iraq will build five frigates in batches. This kind of frigate has also been selected by the Saudi Navy and plans to order several ships.At the same time, Iraq has also begun construction of a new destroyer with a displacement of about 6 tons. This destroyer will use a four-sided phased array radar jointly developed by Iraq and Sweden. The main anti-aircraft missile is the vertically launched s'an- [-] area air defense missiles, this missile has a range of [-] kilometers, which is enough to deal with the threat of long-range targets.This kind of missile is also a kind of regional air defense missile that Iraq plans to produce by itself based on the technology obtained from the Southern Machinery Manufacturing Plant.

The ship's power is Ukrainian mature gas turbines. This warship still has the shadow of the Soviet era everywhere.

After Iraq has realized the introduction and independent production of naval equipment, it will truly become a military power. After ten to twenty years, after digesting and absorbing the current technology, and at the same time, after Iraq's aircraft carrier is proficient in operation, Iraq will become a military power. Start building an aircraft carrier independently.

Even Ah San's navy is clamoring to maintain the size of three aircraft carriers. The Iraqi navy wants to protect its own rights and interests. In the future, having three aircraft carrier battle groups is also a more appropriate size.

However, so far, nuclear submarines are still a shortcoming in the Iraqi Navy.

Surface ships can be introduced, digested, and absorbed, but underwater nuclear submarines are not sold by any country.As a great man in the East once said, nuclear submarines will be produced even in 1 years!

Therefore, Iraq also launched a nuclear submarine development project. However, because everything started from scratch, although some nuclear submarine experts from the former Soviet Union were absorbed, this road still has a long way to go.

Therefore, at present, Iraq has only one Oscar-class nuclear submarine for the time being, which cannot satisfy underwater operations anyway.

Of course, these are superficial. In fact, apart from the Oscar class, Iraq also has an Akula class nuclear submarine. , this is a submarine that only entered service in 263. During an exercise, it lost contact with the Pacific Fleet. After confirmation, the submarine was unfortunately killed, and none of the officers and soldiers on it survived, but at this time The Soviet Union no longer has the strength to take care of these things. The intensification of internal struggles has made it impossible for them to carry out salvage work. In fact, they can't salvage. The place where the accident happened is more than 86 meters away. Already crushed.

The first thousand and 130 chapters three vomiting blood

They don't know that this submarine has already arrived in Iraq and joined the Iraqi Navy. In this way, on the first aircraft carrier formation, there are already an Oscar-class and Akula-class cruise missiles carried by the Oscar-class. As a secondary nuclear strike force, it will also have sufficient capabilities to protect underwater safety, and the Akula class, an excellent attack nuclear submarine, will protect the Baghdad's underwater watertightly.

However, the long distance cannot quench the near thirst. When Iraq's second aircraft carrier formation is about to be established, their underwater power has not been seen in vain. Therefore, Qusay made another choice, renting Russian submarines!

Now, Russian submarines have to be decommissioned early due to insufficient funds for maintenance. For example, the lead boat of the Akula class, the K-284 Akula, is preparing to be decommissioned this year, while the Oscar 1 The second ship is about to be decommissioned. Iraq has negotiated and leased these two submarines for a period of ten years.

At this time, the Russian Navy has leased a submarine to India and then to Iraq. It is natural. After all, if the two submarines are decommissioned, they will save maintenance costs, but they There is no processing fee after decommissioning, and the cost of dismantling the nuclear submarine is still high.

Therefore, although the Russian Navy was opposed, Ye Litie still signed the document and agreed to lease the two submarines. Anyway, they are only the initial models. Russia pays more attention to the submarine force. Funds were still allocated to support the construction of new submarines.

After Iraq leased these two ships, the underwater power of the second aircraft carrier formation was resolved.Moreover, in this way, the parts of the first Akula class stolen by Iraq can also be confidently ordered from Russia, killing two birds with one stone.
