"Your Excellency Qusay, if E-El really agreed to the conditions and accepted the verification of the United Nations IAEA, will our Bakhtaran region really have to let them verify as well?" Adnan asked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info≦≧
Now, everything Iraq does is to show the rest of the world, they try to put on a harmless appearance, claim that they are innocent, and even invite those journalists to wander around the mountains, but they are hundreds of kilometers away from the real location.
The sè column, that is, the shield they held high, there was an earthquake, why slander Iraq for conducting an underground nuclear test, and the sè column is not?
Although the Escueles have never been willing to suffer losses, what if the Escueles seri, under pressure from the United States, scavenged and agreed to investigate their earthquake area?
At that time, Iraq's reputation in the international community will not be very good, although that will boost the morale of the Middle East countries, but except for the Middle East countries, no country will applaud, and France, the Soviet Union, and the big countries in the East who are still secretly supporting Iraq will probably change their tone when the time comes. ≦≧
"They wouldn't have agreed to the verification, and if they did, they would have agreed a long time ago." "One of the things we need to do now is to determine whether or not they are conducting underground nuclear tests in this earthquake," Qusay said with confidence. ”
To sè columns, underground nuclear tests? The faces of all the high-ranking Iraqi officials present have changed.
One of the most important purposes of Iraq's development of nuclear weapons is to deter nuclear weapons, but now, if Iraq has also conducted nuclear tests. Between the two of them, they have returned to a starting line again, although in 73 years, it was rumored that Yi Sè Lie tried to use nuclear weapons because of the unfavorable situation, but whether Yi Sè Lie had nuclear weapons or not is still a mystery.
"Your Excellency Qusay. Are you saying that in the case of this earthquake, it is possible that they were conducting underground nuclear tests? Taha asked, even if he was sophisticated, his face was solemn at this time.
"Yes, we have to confirm that. ≦≧" Qusay said: "It's close to the Jordanian border, and our technicians are being sent to secretly check the groundwater in Jordan and the quality of the Dead Sea." See if there is any shèxing residue inside. ”
Originally, Qusay did not realize that there was an underground nuclear test, an ordinary earthquake, but when Iraq pulled the sè into this US sanctions, the performance of the sè was too unusual.
Even if it is like Iraq, invite some journalists to clarify the misunderstanding of the earthquake on their side. It is also very helpful, but the area there is tightly cordoned down, and the tracks are very suspicious.
Perhaps, this time it was a nuclear test! In this case, Cusai began to plot in his heart, how to use this incident to make Yi Sè notorious!
The first is to confirm whether the underground nuclear test was actually carried out. ≦≧ earthquake area, it is on the border between Israel and Jordan, and there is the Dead Sea next to it, and if there is indeed an underground nuclear test in Israel, then they will definitely pollute the groundwater, and the most hateful thing is that. By doing so, it is clear that the water is flowing down the drain and polluting Jordan's groundwater sources.
"We'll arrange it right away." Zia said.
Right now. Zia has been appointed as Qusay's scientific advisor, and Zia has been invited to participate in meetings of this level. Zia knew the importance of it, and he had to arrange it immediately.
Qusay has already made preparations, and if the United Nations really sends inspectors here, then there are many mountains in the Bakhtalan area, and Iraq will "cooperate" with them to carry out inspections, and I am afraid that it will not be able to find the right place at all in a year and a half, and by that time, the international situation will have changed long ago.
'85 was a very difficult year for the U.S. economy.

Vostochny Wakuni, Okinawa, Kadena Air Base. ≦≧
Kadena Air Base is a U.S. Air Force base located in Kadena Town, Okinawa City, Nakatou County, Okinawa Prefecture, and Kitan Town, Nakatou County, which was originally used by the Japanese Army Air Corps, and was taken over by the U.S. Army in 1945 when the main island of Okinawa was captured at the end of World War II. With two parallel runways of 3,700 meters and nearly 200 military aircraft, the base is the largest air base in the Far East. There is even the capacity to provide large wide-body airliners as well as space shuttle landings.
Now, in an aircrew preparation room at the base, two American pilots are preparing for the flight.
The two stood in the room, watching as several staff members helped them put on their intricate flight suits.
As an aircraft that can fly to an altitude of more than 30,000 meters, the speed and altitude of the SR-71 Blackbird have long exceeded the limit that the human body can bear, and the pressurized cockpit used by ordinary fighters can no longer work normally on the Blackbird, so the Blackbird's pilot needs to wear a fully sealed pressurized flight suit similar to that of an astronaut, wear the same helmet as the astronaut, and be connected to the flight suit, as well as a life support system. ≦≧
Therefore, it takes a long time to prepare before each flight.
The pilots of this mission...... Major and Reconnaissance System Officer...... Major, who is finishing the final outfit with the help of ground personnel, humorous ...... The major also told a joke about the last flight.
"When I returned home from the reconnaissance mission, I needed to lower the altitude and pass through a course of the civil airliner, so I connected to the channel of the tower on the ground and said, 'Request the right to use the airspace at 60,000 feet...... feet, or 18,000 meters, is the ceiling of most fighter jets, which civilian aircraft simply can't do) Then I heard the tower dispatcher's voice with a slight surprise and mockery: 'How are you going to climb to that height?' So I was silent. Then, my companion ...... The Major said, 'We're not going to climb to that height. We're going to descend to that height...... Before the Major could finish his sentence, he had already made a smile on the smile of one of the ground workers who was dressing him beside him, it was a beautiful blonde woman, and although the hat covered her hair, the ends of her hair were revealed, and the two solid balls under the straight clothes.
"Honey, is this joke funny...... As soon as the major's voice fell, the female ground officer mercilessly covered the flight helmet, and suddenly, everything in front of him became gray, which was a coating to prevent the sun from radiating at high altitude to protect the eyes.
After completing the fitting, the two walked towards their landline.
Inside the hangar, a blackbird that had been monitored was quietly waiting for them.
The body is black, from the appearance, it looks like a big bird, and the appearance of all aircraft is different, the triangular wing, through the large side strips, has been extended to the front, twin engines and double vertical tails, however, the engine is not arranged in the tail like an ordinary fighter, but on the wing like a passenger plane, this is the United States to challenge the limit of high altitude and high speed, the M3 high-altitude strategic reconnaissance aircraft developed by Lockheed...... The Oxcart program, which began in 1959 by the U.S. Air Force and Lockheed Martin, designed a fighter capable of high-speed interception at altitudes above 20,000 meters, at a time when high-altitude and high-speed had always been the mainstream. In 1962, the first test aircraft, the A-11, flew and was advertised under the name YF-12. However, after a large number of test flights of the A-11 and the fire control and weapon systems installed later, the Air Force believed that the technology of this fighter was not mature enough and gave up the plan, but the excellent Xing ability of the A-11 made the Air Force decide to use its improved version as a high-altitude and high-speed strategic reconnaissance aircraft, which made the SR-71. The fire control and weapon systems on the A-11 also laid a good foundation for the later development of the Navy's F-14 fighter.
When the SR-71 is on reconnaissance mission, it generally flies at an altitude of about 25,000 meters at a speed of Mach 3 (it can fly to an altitude of more than 30,000 meters during test flights, and it is said that the speed has exceeded Mach 4, but in regular missions, they still maintain this data, because, outside this safe altitude, the engine will turn off at any time). Although now, the maximum flight altitude and speed of the MiG-25 are relatively close to those of the SR-71 when performing reconnaissance missions. However, the difference between the MiG-25 and the SR-71 is that the MiG-25, a fighter made of a large number of stainless steel, can only fly at maximum speed for a few minutes, while the SR-71, a fighter made of a large number of titanium alloys, maintains such altitude and speed throughout the mission.
The MiG-25 uses an ordinary turbojet engine, which has been improved for high altitude and high speed, while the SR-71 has two turbojet sub-combustion ramjet combined cycle engines, using a special JP-7 is a fuel with a high ignition point, and when flying at high speeds, only part of the air from the air intake hole enters the combustion chamber, while the rest is directly introduced into the afterburner to cause a ramlash effect; The remainder is introduced into the exhaust stream to increase the air flow and increase the thrust.
Since the SR-71 entered service, it has held a record: it has never been shot down!
The ...... of the mission Major, who already has a thousand hours of flight time on the SR-71, is an old bird among old birds, so this mission is just a very ordinary flight.
He climbed into the cockpit with the reconnaissance system officer in the aft compartment. (To be continued) RQ
