Chapter 753: Qusai's plane
readx;
As soon as Qusay's words came out, the others turned around, only to see Cusay sitting in the chair in the back row, and they all cast a saluting look at him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā¦ā§
Kartsev looked at Kusai puzzled, when they first met in the Soviet Union, they had a very pleasant conversation, Kartsev knew very well that although Kusai was a layman and had not been exposed to the design of specific armored vehicles, Kusai had unique views on the development and use of equipment for armored forces, so to speak, this is an insider among laymen.
"President Qusay, do you also support our adoption of welded turrets?" Kartsev asked.
"Chief Engineer of the Card." "Now, science and technology are developing rapidly, and the level of science and technology has played an increasing role in the development of military technology and equipment, for example, if we do not improve the fire control system of the T72, then, at night, although we can't see it with the naked eye, but, in the passive infrared night vision device, our infrared headlights will be very dazzling, that is, absolutely good white letters, our backward night vision device, so that our 125mm smoothbore gun can not play its due power, please believe me, in the future, We have a large number of but technologically backward weapons and equipment, it is likely that they will not be able to withstand a small amount, but advanced military equipment, the future war is a high-tech war, the gap in quality, will not be able to use quantity to make up, our T72 tank, technology is still a little backward, which is why I try my best to develop a new main battle tank. ā¦ā§ our new generation of main battle tanks, there needs to be a noticeable improvement in quality, in terms of firepower, mobility and protection. All have to go up another level. ā
With that, Qusay paused, asked the interpreter to translate his words, and then continued: "I'm just a layman in tank design, but, I feel, low." A turret with a small projection area, which helps to reduce the probability of being hit, however. In the face of advanced fire control systems, this gap is very insignificant. For example, we need to improve the protection of our tanks, which will increase the weight of the entire vehicle, but we can also reduce the weight gain by using new armor, and we can also use more powerful engines to improve maneuverability. We must combine all kinds of advantages and disadvantages to develop a world-class tank with our Iraqi characteristics. When facing advanced tanks such as the M1, Leopard 2, T64 and T80, they have plenty of confidence. ā
Qusay's words inspired everyone present. They are all thinking about how to make Iraq's tanks have the strongest performance.
Whether it was casting or welding, Kusai also did not decide, he is not a researcher and does not have this ability. ā¦ā§ and later. After the researchers' research, the final solution was finally determined: a cast welded turret! The combination of two advantages and disadvantages has become a characteristic of Iraq.
"Of course, all of this depends on the scientists here, and you are Iraq's most valuable asset." "Recently, the United States and Germany want to sell their tanks to Saudi Arabia, and I can organize you to have a close tour of Western tanks," Qusay said. ā
After Saudi Arabia equipped the T72 tanks produced in Iraq, for such a pro-American country to equip Soviet-made tanks, although such tanks were produced in Iraq, the West was still relatively dissatisfied, which indicated that their tank exports would decrease, so they began a new round of arms sales to Saudi Arabia.
Let our designers have a close look at Western tanks, and this kind of contact will broaden their horizons and make great progress in their research and development work.
"President Qusay, Prince Sultan is looking for you!" At this moment, the secretary came up and said.
Unconsciously, Kusai had been out for too long, leaving Prince Sultan aside, which was not hospitality. ā¦ā§
After giving the researchers encouragement again, Qusay rushed back to the place where the tanks were handed over.
Prince Sultan was full of red light, the test drive just now was much more enjoyable than driving a Ferrari, in particular, the comfort of the tank is also much better, much stronger than the main equipment of the Saudi Army, AMX30 and M60A3 tanks, especially the 125 mm gun, which is more powerful in firepower.
"Your Royal Highness, this time the German and American sides will once again sell new tanks to Saudi Arabia...," Qusay said.
"Our main equipment in the future is this T72 tank, and I am ready to refuse the German and American sides." Prince Sultan said.
"No, Your Royal Highness, let them come to Saudi Arabia, some of our researchers, want to see these two tanks." Qusay said. "No problem." Prince Sultan immediately responded.
"There were Soviets in there." Qusay said.? Prince Sultan hesitated.
"However, none of them are in the USSR now, they have been in Iraq for more than a year and are working for Iraq. ā¦ā§," Cusai said.
"As long as they are not sent by the Soviet Union, they are fine, and we in Saudi Arabia welcome their arrival." Prince Sultan said.
Seeing that the neat tanks were loaded onto trailers and ready to be transported to Saudi Arabia, and Prince Sultan, who also ended the operation, it was time to return to Riyadh.
"Our tanks are in the first batch, but when will our planes be delivered?" Prince Sultan asked.
In addition to the production of T72 tanks for Saudi Arabia, Iraq also produced Mirage 4000 fighters for Saudi Arabia, but now Iraq's own production is not enough, Iraq's own modern heavy air supremacy fighters are insufficient, but Saudi Arabia's F15 fighters are very sufficient, so there is no preparation for Saudi production.
"It's... At least one squadron of fighter jets will be delivered to the Saudi Air Force this year. Qusay said.
"Okay, then we'll wait." Prince Sultan got into Qusay's car again, and the two headed to Baghdad airport, where Qusay needed to get the old friend on the plane. ā¦ā§
When the car drove to the airport, Prince Sultan was attracted by a plane next to his special plane, which looked similar to the Boeing 707, but it always felt a little different, and he couldn't say what it was.
At the tail of the wing, there was a red, white and black Iraqi flag, while on the fuselage of the plane, there were no words for Iraqi civil aviation or other civil aviation, but a few words were written crookedly in Arabic.
After reading it for a long time, he saw clearly that the words on it meant Air Force One.
"The words on it, how poorly written! It's better to look good with print. Prince Sultan said.
Who knows, when this said, Kusai, who has always been very thick-skinned, actually blushed. Because those words were written by him.
It seems that the sycophants kill people, and when you go back, you must remove that staff officer to clean the toilet! Cusai thought to himself.
This plane is the special plane of President Qusay, who has just arrived in Iraq not long ago, and Qusay's own Air Force One, which was converted from a Y-10 aircraft!
At the request of President Qusay, this plane was converted into Iraq's own Air Force One, with a total of more than 300 cubic meters of space on board. It was converted into three offices, two lounges, a kitchen, three bathrooms, an operating table, various communication systems, thirty telephones and five televisions. The interior is not very luxurious, but it is definitely adequate, and there is room reserved for the president's family, government workers and media reporters.
After the arrival of the special plane, Qusay was very happy, excited, waved his pen, wrote down the words Air Force One, and immediately a staff officer said that it looked good, and as a result, he enlarged the paint on the plane.
However, Qusay's calligraphy ... It's really miserable, these words are probably the most failed move after Qusay crossed into this world.
"This plane is the special plane of the Iraqi leader in the future, and it is also the first aircraft of this type, which is unique in the world." Kusai immediately began to put gold on his face.
Sure enough, when Qusay said this, Prince Sultan began to change his tone: "Isn't it just a modified Boeing 707?" How do you call this the first one? Still unique? ā
"This is not a Boeing 707, this is the crystallization of our Iraq and the great powers of the East, Yun 10 passenger planes! We in Iraq also have complete technology for this kind of passenger aircraft, and this year, we in Iraq will set up our own production line to produce this kind of aircraft. Qusay said.
Iraq's own airliner? It was the first time Prince Sultan had heard of it, and now, he paid attention to it: "That is to say, in addition to the production of Mirage 4000 and F20 fighters, Iraq can also produce large passenger aircraft?" ā
"Yes." Qusay said proudly.
In this world, there are currently only three places capable of producing large passenger aircraft, the United States, the USSR and Western Europe. Iraq is the fourth and will soon produce such large aircraft with a total weight of more than 100 tons.
"Can I go up and have a look?" Prince Sultan said.
"Very welcome." Qusay said.
Before Prince Sultan stepped on his plane, he first got on the Iraqi president's Air Force One plane, which was not as luxurious as his plane, but it also amazed him, and he went around the room from room to room.
"The first passenger plane, which we used as a special aircraft, the second and third, was converted into an early warning aircraft, the fourth, converted into an electronic warfare aircraft, and the last six, we will deliver them to civil aviation." Qusay said.
"I will send our personnel for an inspection, and if it is appropriate, the Saudis will also order twenty planes!" Prince Sultan said.
Twenty planes, in this way, the production line in Iraq will start, and there will be no need to worry about no orders! Up to now, there have been orders for 30 aircraft, which can be regarded as a successful type of aircraft!
"Okay, we'll be able to work together." Cusai smiled.
