Originally, he, the director of the CIA, did not need to go through these matters personally, but this matter was too big, and he had to take a look at what was going on.

The spy satellite passing over the Middle East has captured a set of photos, which are of great value.

Soon, the photos analyzed by the technicians appeared on the computer screen.

"Director Casey, we have fully confirmed that the Iraqi Air Force, using air-to-ship missiles, launched an attack on Iranian warships in Khomeini's port," said a technician.

Air-to-ship missiles?Casey knew that the British intelligence personnel might have made a mistake.

Iraq and Iran are in a deadlock. On the day they imported the Exocet missile, they used the Exocet missile to smash an attack by the Iranian navy. It can be said that this missile is their lifeblood. How can they be willing to sell it to Argentina?Making money is more important than winning battles by yourself!

However, it is said that Iraq is secretly trying to import some anti-ship missiles from China. Could it be this kind of anti-ship missiles?

"What plane did they use to launch it?" Casey asked suddenly.

"It is a Mirage F1 imported from France." The technician said: "Furthermore, by analyzing these pictures, we can see that the flight trajectory of the anti-ship missile is very similar to that of the legal-made Exocet missile, especially the trajectory at the end. , as far as we know, no other country has done it."

Different routes lead to the same goal. In order to penetrate the defense at the end, both the C801 and the Exocet missile chose to do snake maneuvers during the final flight.

It appeared that Iraq was indeed using Exocet missiles, and Casey was finally confirmed.

Because the eastern country has strict preventive measures, American agents are rarely able to infiltrate it, and it is even more impossible for them to know the secrets of the eastern country's weapon development. Naturally, they are not clear about the specific performance of the C801. How about it.

This is also the prerequisite for Zhang Feng to be able to deceive the world.

It seems that the British intelligence agencies have to be notified to focus on other countries. In those countries, there may be someone deliberately releasing rumors for their own sale to interfere with their investigation.

Those British guys are really limited in their abilities, and they were tricked by this kind of trick!Casey sneered a few times. Without the support of the United States, their battle would have been impossible.

Although the British fleet suffered heavy losses, they are still persisting, especially since the beachhead has been opened up. They have laid a steel runway on it, and Harrier fighters can take off from it and fight directly.

However, logistical supplies still had to be transported by ship. If the Argentine fighter planes were dispatched a few more times and the Exocet missiles were fired a few more times, the consequences would be troublesome.

As for the countries that sold the flying fish missiles to Argentina, Britain naturally hated them to the bone, and the intelligence personnel acted again. The arms dealers everywhere were out of luck.

In particular, several of them really paid a high price to get the flying fish missile.

The Iranian navy, which was attacked by the Chinese flying fish in Iraq, was also completely dumbfounded.

The strength of the Iranian navy is also very strong, several times that of the Iraqi navy. However, due to the blockade and lack of spare parts, the strength of the Iranian navy has been greatly reduced. Besides, because the Iranian air force does not take care of this, in modern naval warfare, there is no Domination of the air means no dominance of the sea. The British war in the Falklands vividly illustrated all this.

Just after attacking the Iranian Khomeini Port, Zhang Feng made an important decision: [-] nautical miles around Khomeini Port is a forbidden sea zone, and all ships are not allowed to approach, otherwise, they will wait to be attacked sink it!

As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar all over the world.

The no-sea zone or no-fly zone is a means of pressure by a strong country against a weak country. For example, when the British Expeditionary Force went to the Falkland Islands, it stipulated that the [-] nautical miles around the Falkland Islands should be a no-sea zone. As long as there are ships If you get close to this circle, then don't blame me for being ruthless!

Even outside the forbidden sea zone, British submarines can kill the opponent's warships, let alone within it.

For another example, the U.S. military in later generations has delineated several no-fly zones over Iraq. Whose airspace is it?I don't care, I won't let you fly anyway, if you dare to fly, I will beat you.

Now, Zhang Feng has followed suit and set aside a forbidden sea zone around Khomeini Port. If any Iranian warship dares to come, it will be sunk without hesitation!

This is not intimidation. Since the attack on the warships in Khomeini Port, the Mirage F1 fighter jets of the Iraqi Air Force have been patrolling the sea and air around Khomeini Port almost every day, deterring the opponent at any time.

Under the belly of Phantom F1, the gleaming missile has attracted the attention of countless people.

The French Exocet missile, in the hands of the Iraqis, has shown a strong combat effectiveness!

At the same time, the Iraqis kept urging the French aerospace company to deliver the remaining Exocet missiles immediately, otherwise, they would have to find another way, and the contract would be voided because it exceeded the deadline.

The French aerospace company is very depressed, because, after all, this is a unilateral breach of contract. The order from Iraq is considered a very large deal. However, the pressure from the United States and the United Kingdom is also great, and they are in a dilemma.

However, the rumors about Iraq secretly selling Exocet missiles to Argentina were quickly shattered.

The real situation was not finally revealed to the world until the declassified materials were released 30 years later. At this time, the British finally understood everything at the beginning. Unfortunately, they have already lost that powerful empire!

Zhang Feng drew a forbidden sea zone for Khomeini Port, and naturally he had other considerations, that is, since it is to siege Khomeini Port, it must be completely besieged!Since there is no way to break into Port Khomeini for the time being, let them starve first. Then, let's see if they still have the strength to fight me in the streets!

From then on, the defenders of Khomeini Port began a miserable life.

Chapter 359

A passenger plane landed slowly at Beijing International Airport.

Tu Jida, Mr. Liang and others stepped off the plane together, where a group of people were already welcoming them.

Tu Jida had a lot of thoughts on his mind. This trip to the Middle East was even more impressive than the last trip to Europe.

The last time I went to Europe, I just saw the French Mirage 2000 and felt the courage of the performance. But this time I went to Iraq, I saw with my own eyes the tension and confidence of a country’s air force when performing combat missions. Especially the opponent's Phantom F1 and F-20 fighters left a deep impression on him. Weapons are not the decisive factor in the outcome of a war, but they are definitely very important factors!

Now, which of China's domestically produced J-7 and J-8 can support the future sky of the Republic?

Tu Jida was worried. The motherland has shifted its energies to the right track of economic development, and currently it can provide too little for the defense industry.

It is simply too important to improve the J-7 and obtain the same combat effectiveness as the F-20!

He got off the plane step by step, and suddenly found a figure so familiar in the crowd.

Designer Song Wencong of Chengdu Aircraft Research Institute is waiting for their return at the airport.

"Old Song!" Tu Jida was overjoyed to see Song Wencong coming to meet them.

Song Wencong and his colleagues established the first aerodynamic layout group in China, mainly researching canard aerodynamic layout. Now the model under his hands has been blown in the wind tunnel tens of thousands of times.

And Tu Jida knew that if he wanted to make major changes to the J-7, he had to do the wind tunnel experiment again. He simply asked Song Wencong to study it first, because the blowing tunnel belonged to the early design process and the cost was very small.

However, I never thought, how did Song Wencong come to Beijing?

"Old Tu, this trip to the Middle East has been rewarding, right?" Song Wencong asked.

"Yeah, if we don't go out, we will just sit and watch the sky forever." Tu Jida said, "Old Song, why did you come to Beijing?"

"I came to attend a meeting and reported to Director Zou." Song Wencong said.

Knowing that Song Wencong was referring to Zou Jiahua, deputy director of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, Tu Jida couldn't help asking, "What? Is there any news about the new project?"

Song Wencong smiled but did not answer. This is the code of confidentiality. Anyone who is not involved in the research and development cannot have access to the core secrets.

Just like him, in fact, he didn't fully know what these people who went abroad did.

This time, after he finished his report, Zou Jiahua proposed to Mr. Deng, Chairman of the Military Commission, a plan to invest 5 million yuan to develop a new third-generation fighter with my country's independent intellectual property rights, code-named: Project No. [-].

Seeing that Song Wencong didn't answer, Tu Jida knew he shouldn't ask questions, and then asked, "Is there anything important in the institute recently? Has anyone come to buy our plane?"

Like other national defense projects, since the country no longer invests, it is very important to rely on exports to develop new aircraft.
