"Does your country want us Iraq to be cannon fodder, bomb Israel's nuclear reactors, and then prepare to withstand Israel's counterattack and possible revenge from the United States?" Kusai said bluntly.

When he heard the cannon fodder, Balkovsky had a little unnatural face and said, "It is impossible that our navy will deter Israel and the United States. The air force stationed in Egypt will also take off at any time to deter them. This time it was the United States' fault. We have sufficient reasons. If Israel or even the United States dare to retaliate, our Soviet Union will resolutely fight back."

Kusai shook his head and said, "I am very grateful to the Soviet military for its strong support, but on the most critical issue, I still only believe in myself. If something happens at that time, we, Iraq, do not want to resist the revenge of Israel and the United States."

Hearing this, Balkovsky was startled. Originally, he thought that with his personality, he would definitely seize this opportunity to raid Israel's nuclear reactor. This leader had a domineering attitude of daring to act and was very military. If he acted, he would definitely succeed. However, he did not expect that His Excellency Kusai would refuse?

Then he figured it out, Lord Kusai, this man is simply a profit-oriented villain, and he must have made some ideas again!

"His Excellency Kusai, our military will strongly support your actions and can provide you with intelligence support..." At this point, he stopped and saw a smile on the corner of Kusai's mouth.

“I need to reconnaissance satellite-based digital maps, digital maps of the entire Middle East,” Kusai said: “Including Israel and Türkiye.”

Digital map of reconnaissance satellites? Barkovsky never even thought about it, and Kusai made this request.

There is no way for Kusai. At present, with the efforts of scientific researchers, the Red Bird 3 has finally entered the stage of mass production. This is a cruise missile with a range of up to 800 kilometers. It has completely deviated from the c801's missile body structure. The two main wings provide lift during flight. The tail cross-shaped tail rudder is 5.5 meters long and has a wingspan of 2.7 meters. With the help of solid rocket boosters, take off. After normal flight, it relies on the small turbofan engine imported from Europe at the tail, although the structure and body

The accumulation is similar to the tomahawk, but it is far from reaching the range of 2,500 kilometers of the tomahawk, which is only one-third of the opponent. In addition to the engine limitation, another aspect is that the warhead of the Red Bird 3 is the same as its predecessor, the warhead of the c801 missile. It is a semi-armor-piercing blasting warhead, weighing 240 kilograms, and can also maneuver in the final section, climb high at the same time, and conduct dive acceleration attacks. As long as one shot is hit, the thick reinforced concrete cannot withstand a sharp attack!

However, at this stage, Iraq will never use GPS technology to correct errors during flight. It can only rely on precise inertial guidance systems and matching digital maps. These key guidance systems have been successfully trial-produced on Red Niao 1 and Red Niao 2, so the guidance hardware equipment is not a problem.

However, Iraq still lacks the key stuff, digital maps!

Digital maps require the detection of satellites from the sky. The Earth is remotely sensed and measured by the synthetic aperture mode. During the flight, the cruise missile will compare with the digital map in the computer on its own bomb at any time to correct the accumulated system errors during inertial flight.

During the last attack on Tehran, Iraq bought a high price map around Tehran from the Eastern power for use by Red Bird II, but all the digital maps on other terrains were blank.

Without a digital map, the accuracy of cruise missiles will be reduced. Especially the Red Bird 3, which flew hundreds of kilometers and had more cumulative errors.

Therefore, if Iraq wants to attack Israel, it must have a digital map! Not only does it require Israel, but also Turkey. Kusai’s excuse is naturally to prevent the US military from making abnormal changes at the Turkish base. However, his actual idea is to take advantage of this opportunity to bring all the digital maps of the Middle East. So, no matter where you want to attack in the future, you can use it at any time without spending a lot of effort or a lot of money to buy it.

Within five years, Iraq will not be able to have its own reconnaissance satellites, and the digital map needed for cruise missiles is not available. Iraq has no source, so, taking advantage of this opportunity, Kusai made this request.

Anyway, what Kusai needs is a map of the Middle East, not a digital map of the Soviet Union, which poses no threat to the Soviet Union. Now, he has more tenable reasons: attacking Israel requires this digital map!

Balkovsky did not expect Kusai to make such a request, so he was surprised and asked, "What are you doing with this kind of thing?"

"Do you think if we use it to attack Israel, if we say that air strikes Israel, we will use aircraft bombing? Our advanced fighter jets are not enough, and we cannot be consumed in such an operation at one time." Kusai said: "We will use cruise missiles to launch an attack."

He also said he was unwilling to attack Israel's nuclear facilities, and said that he was cannon fodder. Now, he even had a plan to attack. Balkovsky thought of it, but he said, "Your side uses cruise missiles? Which country did you import cruise missiles from? Is the accuracy high enough? We only have one chance!"

Until now, Iraq has cruise missiles, which is still a secret. No one will believe that Iraq's military-industrial enterprises will develop so quickly. Even after the US and the Soviet Union's ground-attack cruise missiles were just equipped with troops, Iraq itself has cruise missiles?

"We are using our cruise missiles," Kusai said. "If you want to attack Israel, the most suitable option is cruise missiles. However, we do not have a digital map, so if the Soviet Union really wants to eliminate Israel's nuclear facilities and needs Iraq to take action, then please provide us with a digital map of the entire Middle East so that we can be able to start."

If you want Iraq to take action, you can, but please give us the complete set of digital maps, which is the condition of Kusai.

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

Originally, Balkovsky thought that Kusai would propose the R-73 missile and helmet sight that was rejected last time. He had prepared a speech, but now, it was not used?

"I will report to Moscow, Your Excellency Kusai, under the current situation in the Middle East, Israel's possession of nuclear weapons is a very big threat, especially it will seriously harm Iraq's vital interests. We must remove this cancer and destroy Israel's nuclear base!" said Balkovsky.

"Then I look forward to the good news back." Kusai said. After talking about the serious matter, Kusai asked casually: "Your country is still satisfied with the F-14 fighter jet, right?"

Satisfied? Balkovsky thought to himself that when the Soviet technicians went to the hangar, there were five F-14s, but most of them were donated as organs and were dismantled in a mess. However, the Iraqi people were still affordable and allowed them to dismantle from the other planes. Finally, they gathered up an aircraft, especially the radar system, and the radar antenna, which was enough for the Soviet technicians to study for a while. Although the fighter jets were incomplete, the Immortal Bird missiles provided by Iraq were genuine. Except for the failure of the thermal battery, the rest of the rest were complete. After the Soviet technicians replaced the new battery, they found that the missile was even at the level of launching at any time!

Kusai had already brought the best one to Chengfei, and studied it with Chinese technicians, intending to understand these technologies thoroughly and exchange them for the Mi-24 production line. This is a great gain. Although the Mi-24 is a bit outdated now, this is just the beginning. After Iraq completed the self-produced helicopter project, it has enough 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 create a large number of technicians from the Soviet Union.

"It will be of great benefit to our future counterparts to the US naval carrier-based aircraft." Balkovsky said, his answer was neither humble nor arrogant. Of course, he could not say that the aircraft was taken back for research and then improved the Soviet Union's own scientific and technological level. He could only say that the Soviet Union was studying the performance of this aircraft, and then, the Soviet Red Army Air Force could improve the confrontational ability of its own pilots after encountering such aircraft in the future.

Of course there are great benefits. Kusai thought that at least the Soviet radar technology improved for five years. You will only stick to the electronic tubes. The probability of a nuclear war breaking out in the future is almost zero. Electronics and informatization are the trend.

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

Other American aircraft? Apart from the F-14, the ones that Iraq can get are probably the F-4 and F-5. I'm afraid the Soviet Union looked down on this kind of aircraft. The Soviet Union had already studied it. Could it be Iraq's own F-20? However, this light aircraft is of little reference value for the Soviet Union.

Balkovsky never dreamed of what plane was proposed by Kusai.

"Some time ago, we found a strange plane over Iran, flying at a speed of Mach 3.5 at a height of 30,000 meters, lasting nearly twenty minutes. Later, the other party suddenly fell down. This type of plane was not a MiG-25, but an American reconnaissance aircraft." Kusai said.

At a height of 30,000 meters, Mach 3.5? Balkovsky was surprised that the performance of the MiG-25 could not keep up. Thinking of the statement about the Soviet air defense force, Balkovsky felt that the value of this type of aircraft was probably higher than that of the F-14! (To be continued) rq!~!
