"We are not training now, just ordinary sailing, but there are many hostile forces that will be afraid of the strength of our Iraqi Navy. We must be vigilant of every target and be prepared to fight at all times. I am very suspicious that the planes of the Israelites are flying in," said Abdul.

"Now the missile launcher is a coach bullet, and you won't fight at all!" The Italians are going crazy. Besides, this is the Arabian Sea, how could the Israeli plane fly over!

Oh! Abdul suddenly realized: "Prepare to load live ammunition with the No. 2 launch frame!"

Seeing the furious Italian returning to his cabin, the first mate said to Abdul: "Captain, are we doing this a bit too much?"

Abdul's eyes suddenly became sharp: "Do you remember what happened to our submarine force, Mustafa and the others?"

At the beginning, Mustafa commanded the Tr-1700 submarine that had just taken over, successfully carried out a combat mission, killed the arms ship, and exposed the conspiracy. All of this was caused by countless accidents and countless inevitable forms.

The Iraqi Navy had just received the two submarines, which was the first time they sailed for a long distance. They had just wanted to drive the submarine back safely, but the words of the German instructor made them change their plans.

"I still remember that when Mustafa came back, he talked to me and said that the German instructor at that time, the submarine under our feet was used for war. This long-distance sea navigation was a rare opportunity to practice. If we just returned to Iraq from the sea, it would be a big waste. We drove a submarine, not a freighter!" Abdul said: "Our Iraqi navy is weak, but we must become stronger as soon as possible. We must seize every minute of our time and train. Maybe, at the next moment, President Kusai needs us to fight bravely. What we drive is Iraq's most powerful and modern warship. Not a freighter!"

Abdul knew very well that although it seemed peaceful now, war would break out at any time. The Iraqi Navy could no longer just watch the brothers of the Army and the Air Force fighting. They also needed to contribute their own strength!

For the Iraqi Navy, the most important thing is the "Virgate" ship-to-air missile, which is a ship-to-air missile developed and put into use by Italy in the 1970s. The "Virgate" missile is 370 cm long, 20.2 cm in diameter, 70 cm in wingspan, and 230 kilograms in weight. The far-reaching killing is 15 kilometers, a height of 6 kilometers, and a width of 8 kilometers. The warhead is equipped with 8 kilograms of fierceness. After explosion, it can form 10,000 pieces of fragments, and the effective killing radius is 10 meters.

Before this, Iraq's simple navy had almost no air-to-air capabilities. This led to the Iraqi navy's need to let the Saudi navy play the leading role in the last joint operation to defend the Persian Gulf. This missile has given Iraq the ability to deal with low-intensity conflicts and can cruise in areas separated from its own air force. For example, it can come out of the Persian Gulf and sail on the Arabian Sea! In the past, every time there was a conflict, American warships would run to the Arabian Sea to show off their power. Now, the Iraqi Navy can also come out to confront them!

"The target is confirmed, it is a civil aviation passenger plane." At this time, a sound came from the radar room.

"Continue to monitor the surrounding airspace," Abdul said.

The port of Saddam, named after the late Iraqi leader Saddam, occupies an increasingly important position in Iraq's foreign trade.

Now, the military port in the eastern part of the port has become lively again. The officers and soldiers of the Republic Guard have been martially and there are even agents defending each other. On a pier in the military port, a group of people are waiting there.

The last time the submarine returned to China, Kusai was very grand, and this time it was the same, because he knew that Iraq's ultimate strength was still reflected from the sea.

In the distance, the two warships with blue smoke were slowly sailing. It was the first time in the history of the Iraqi Navy that it had a displacement of more than 1,000 tons!

"Those warships are the latest Herden-class frigates ordered from Italy by the Iraqi Navy." On a road outside Saddam Port, British Energy Secretary Weber and the British Agency in Iraq were looking at the warships slowly coming from the sea in the distance.

"The Iraqis thought that buying a few warships would be a powerful navy? Kusai's idea was too simple." Putting down the telescope, Weber said.

"Yes, the Iraqis had almost no regular navy before, and at most they were a coast guard. They were still far from developing a navy. The navy is different from the army." The agency also agreed.

"We Britain, after a century of development, became the final empire of the sun never set. The Iraqis never had a history of sailing at sea. They didn't even have a fisherman. Now, it is absolutely impossible to have strong maritime power within a few years." Weber said: "It is also very important to have a strong navy and its own shipbuilding industry. Iraq has no technical reserves. It is simply delusional to introduce a shipyard to build its own warship."

“Yes, your words are very correct.”

"Go back, we have to think about how to negotiate with Cusey tomorrow. We cannot damage our British prestige, and we have to make Cusey agree to our conditions." Weber said. When he said this, he actually didn't have much confidence, because the UK did not have a trump card.

Kusai was very happy about the return of these two warships. The Iraqi Navy finally had large warships, and there will be more and more warships in the next few years...

Judging from the map, the Iraqi Navy only needs a light warship and cruise the Persian Gulf, but this cannot meet Iraq's major naval strategy.

Iraq has a long oil export line. Once wartime comes, those oil tankers will become targets of attack. Iraq must have a blue water navy!

The scope of the Iraqi Navy's activity is definitely not limited to the Persian Gulf, the Arabian Sea, and even the oceans. It is its scope of activity! In several conflicts, the Americans relied on their maritime advantages to use force to put pressure from the Arabian Sea. Although Iraq did not bow its head, it was a direct conflict between the two sides. If it really started, Iraq would not be able to deal with the air strikes of the US Navy's aircraft carriers.

The Iraqi Navy not only needs missile boats and submarines, but also frigates, destroyers, and even one or two aircraft carriers to defend Iraq's national interests!

Afghanistan.

It has been the sixth year since the Soviet army set foot on the land of Afghanistan. In recent years, the Soviet army has more and more troops, but it has not effectively controlled the situation here. Instead, the situation has become increasingly chaotic.

The attacks of the guerrillas made the Soviet army exhausted.

Colonel Voramir bent his left leg, stood on a stone, picked up the military water bottle he carried with his hand, took a sip of cold water, and there was blood in his eyes.

Just now, they had just defeated a guerrilla team. The guerrilla team tried to use favorable terrain to create a threat to the marching of their convoys. However, under the joint attack of air helicopters, the guerrilla team quickly retreated.

This is the third time they have encountered a transport team stationed in Kabul. Many of the supplies from the Soviet Union were transported by land, but Afghanistan is full of mountains, so they have to be vigilant every step they take.

Although they drove away the guerrillas in the previous attack, they also caused three casualties, two of whom were seriously injured. Therefore, a Mi-24 helicopter had to end the mission of protecting them and brought the two personnel back to Kabul, so they were only left with one Mi-24 protection.

The terrain in front is quite complicated, and after passing the mountain in front, they can relax.

"Continue." Colonel Voramir walked towards the bmp-1 infantry fighting vehicle he was riding. As the threat they encountered was getting bigger and bigger, he had switched to infantry fighting vehicles with stronger protection to protect the trucks in the middle.

Suddenly, an explosion came from the distant sky. Voramir raised his head and saw the armed helicopter that was providing air support for his side. The tail was hit and lost the function of the tail propeller. The helicopter's fuselage began to rotate involuntarily and then fell down.

That is the stinger air defense missile used by the Afghan guerrillas! This missile seriously threatens the safety of the Soviet helicopters.

"Quick, rush up and kill them!" Voramir's eyes flashed and he ran onto his infantry fighting vehicle. The infantry fighting vehicle was launched urgently, and the tracks ravaged the rocks on the ground and ran towards the mountain. At the same time, the 73mm smoothbore cannon on the turret was ready to fire.

They need to take infantry fighting vehicles, quickly catch the enemy, and then attack the guerrillas, kill the guerrillas, and avenge the helicopter that fell on their side! They must act quickly, otherwise the guerrillas will run away.

"Boom!" A grenade in the 73mm smoothbore gun had been launched, and the place where the stinger missile was launched was accurately hit.

"Check weapons and prepare for battle." Voramir finished speaking, checking his weapons.

Although Voramir has no longer had to engage in this level of battle, Voramir likes to fight, and only war can make him full of passion.

Suddenly, a loud "boom" sounded, and a huge shock wave came from under my feet.

Oops, it's an anti-tank mine! It's a trap! Then Voramir lost his intuition.
Chapter completed!
