Chapter 443: Dealing with Silkworm Baby

After getting the Kuwaiti tanker was attacked, Kusai also held an emergency meeting after sending away the Chinese ambassador to Iraq.

"This time the Iranians made a big mistake. They dared to attack the oil tanker in Kuwait. This will definitely attract stronger opposition from the international community." Barzan said.

"Yes, if this is the case, there will be no country that can do anything wrong with us in the attack on Iran. God blesses you, how can they do such a thing!" Vatban also said.

Their meaning is very clear. Iran's actions this time were angered by the public. He attacked Kuwait's oil tankers and affected the oil prices around the world. Which country would give Iran a good look?

They stood high and looked far, but looked at the real threat in front of them.

"Everyone, the first question we need to discuss now is not how much trouble Iran will have, but how we will deal with it." Kusai said: "Our tankers also need to pass through the Strait of Hormuz!"

Iranians are so stupid that they attack Kuwait's oil tanker when they come up? Kusaki has already studied it. At that time, there should have been another Iraqi oil tanker passing by. In other words, the one Iran attacked was probably a ship that transported its own oil!

After receiving Tarik's report, Kusai knew that the tragic ship attack battle in history had finally begun, and there were no winners in this ship attack battle.

In order to win, Iran and Iran were attacking each other's tankers, and by the way, they brought tankers from other countries. The ending was that the ship attack war caused the sharp decline in oil exports from Iran and Iran to drop. The economies of both sides suffered a great blow, and neither of them got any benefits.

Now, for Iraq, it is simply fatal, because Iraq's purpose is to occupy all Iran's oil-producing province, Khuzestan, and the oil exports in this area are impossible to go through land pipelines. It can only be directly loaded in the port of the Abadan oil refinery.

Therefore, this waterway is very important for Iraq. Although Kusai is making money in various other ways, Iraq's current fiscal expenditure is still oil exports.

There are so many projects in Iraq, including three types of fighter jets, F20, Super Seven and Phantom 4000. These require a lot of money. If oil exports are blocked by the Iranians, these projects in Iraq will be affected.

"Our navy, at most, patrols around the Fao Peninsula, can't run that far, and our fighters don't have that long range. Even if we get over the strait, the cruise time is very short, so it's a bit difficult for us to protect our tankers from attacks." Defense Minister Adnan said.

It is far away from Iraq, and even fighter jets that take off from Basra Air Force Base have only limited time to stay. It is difficult to patrol there for a long time.

The most suitable one is to use ships to escort, but unfortunately, the Iraqi army is just a coast guard.

"Perhaps we can send special forces over, our Crescent Special Forces and Rattlesnake Special Forces are fully capable of taking on this mission, allowing them to find the opponent's anti-ship missile launcher and then blow it up," Rashid said.

These two special forces are now the vanguards of Iraq's defense forces.

I'm afraid no one is familiar with special operations, but Kusai knows that it is still full of dangers when using special forces to conduct such operations.

Because it is too far from Iraq. During the Iraq-Iraq War, the areas close to the Iraqi border were filled with Iraqi special forces. They are very familiar with this place. Even the Isfahan area in the central region, the special forces have been there several times, but it is already their limit.

The current situation in the eastern part of Iran is still very stable. It is a strange place for Iraqi special forces, especially since the distance from Iraq is so far away that once they are in danger, they can only rely on themselves. They will not call for air support, nor will there be helicopters to pick them up. If they are surrounded by Iranian troops, the special forces soldiers are also human, not superman.

"Special forces can be dispatched, but they must be well planned and fully prepared to avoid unnecessary casualties," said Kusai.

The Iranians did have a problem with the invincible Kusai this time, because Kusai does not have a powerful navy in his hands!

"His Excellency Kusai, during the last air strike, the Southern Military Region dispatched an electronic jammer, which successfully interfered with the Immortal Missile Launched by Iran's Tomcat fighter jets." Air Force Commander Abid suddenly said this.

Others wondered why Abid suddenly mentioned this sentence.

But Kusai suddenly felt a sudden tremor. He had been paying attention to the situation and major events for a while. In fact, he became distant from such details.

Although the Iranian anti-ship missile is powerful, its disadvantages are also very obvious. This is just China's first generation anti-ship missile!

This kind of missile has very poor resistance to modern electronic interference.

In the Third Middle East War, Egypt used Styx anti-ship missiles to destroy Israel's "Eilat" destroyer, which attracted the attention of the world. In the Fourth Middle East War, Israel used electronic countermeasures to effectively interfere with dozens of "Styx" missiles launched by Egyptian and Syrian missile boats, leaving none of them hit.

And this kind of silkworm is of the same generation as the Styx.

Although China promotes strong anti-jamming capabilities and advanced technology, Kusai also knows that this kind of anti-ship missile has long been out of date, which is why he firmly opposed the purchase of this kind of anti-ship missile.

Iraq has this technical advantage. After the two electronic interference pods were dropped by the pilot last time, Joseph developed a brand new electronic interference pod in the leadership team.

If Joseph was asked to develop a small jamming device, it would not require full-band interference, but only interfere with the missile-based radar of the silkworm missile!

However, China needs to provide itself with the characteristics of the guide signal of the missile-based radar of this silkworm missile, so that it can be targeted and specifically interfere with this missile, making it impossible for them to capture the target!

Is China willing? It seems that it has to put some pressure on itself and some benefits. After all, in the process of introducing the C801 missile and transforming it, it has established a deep friendship with Mr. Liang of the Flight Institute. This backward missile only needs its terminal guidance radar signal. If it can reach a sufficient agreement with the other party, it may still be obtained. After all, that kind of thing is still relatively backward.

If the other party refuses to provide it, then you will only get it yourself.

All of these take time. For the time being, it is to let the electronic pod work and completely suppress the other side, so that the Iranians have no way to attack their own tankers!

However, if the electronic pod is hung on the MiG23, the range is still not enough. In order to protect its own tanker, there are only two other methods.

One of them is to install the electronic pod on the aircraft with the farthest range in Iraq: the bomber in Figure 22. This aircraft stays empty for a long time and can hover over the Strait of Hormuz and provide electronic protection for its own tankers at any time.

Another type is installed on several poor missile boats of the Iraqi Navy, which were introduced from the Wasp class from the Soviet Union.

The Hornet-class missile boat has a standard displacement of 171 tons, a full load displacement of 205 tons, a length of 33.6 meters, a width of 7.64 meters, and a draft of 2.7 meters, using 3 diesel engines as power, a total of 8,025 horsepower, and a maximum speed of 35 knots. There are 4 single-connected anti-ship missiles on the Styx, 2 30mm two-connected naval personnel.

Although this kind of missile boat is small, it is not a problem to reach the Strait of Hormuz. Moreover, if two of the Styx missile launchers are removed, electronic pods can be installed. Just use the electronic components to prevent moisture and corrosion, and follow the tanker formation to provide electronic protection at any time. Moreover, the twin guns on the missile boat can fire at air, and a certain number of portable air defense missiles can be arranged on the missile boat...

Kusai felt like a pauper, but he was trying hard to figure out how much money he had in his pocket.

Until now, Kusai really realized that the construction of the Iraqi Navy is urgent!

Kusai has always hoped to use funds to the blade, take the lead in arming the air force, and renewing the army's modern weapons, but the investment in the navy has always been zero. However, with the victory of Iraq's war against Iran, especially the excellent port such as the Port of Khomeini, it has obtained a not-so-short coastline, and the construction of the Iraqi Navy should also be launched!

Iraq's oil tankers need their own country's navy to escort!

"I will notify the technicians in the South to install our electronic jamming pods on our Navy's missile boats, and at the same time, delay the departure of the tankers at the port for a few days until our navy can escort the tankers, and we need to inform Kuwait that when they need it, our tankers can safely pass through the Strait of Hormuz under the cover of the Navy and even our Air Force, and prepare our special forces to dispatch that area at any time and blow up the opponent's missile launcher." Kusai said.

Although the fighter planes only have a few minutes of fuel, as long as the time is well grasped, it can still provide cover for the tanker.

This time, Kuwait's injury made Iraq, which has always been supported by Kuwait, feel a little uneasy. Especially last time, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia once again helped Iraq 500 million US dollars. Now, if Iraq has the ability, of course it will protect Kuwait's oil tankers. (...)
