Chapter 280

“The Chinese side proposed a new army building plan. I think it will have a great effect on our reform @命卫队…” After Khomeini proposed to buy 1,000 sets of avant-garde missiles, he even proposed to buy self-propelled artillery. Ihor felt it was time to propose a Chinese solution.

“Is this a plan they designed specifically for us?” Samnila felt that this was a Chinese conspiracy.

According to the study of China’s army building, it is obviously necessary to purchase Chinese weapons and equipment.

From light weapons in rifles to tanks and heavy artillery, they all cost money.

“No, this is the Chinese army’s own exploration. It just happened that we met…” Hazari explained the exercise they saw and the introduction to them by Xie Kai and others.

Samnilla twisted his brows together tightly, always feeling that something was wrong.

“The situation of the Chinese army is very similar to that of our guard. Their ideological education is excellent, and their military quality and training intensity far exceed our imagination…” Ihor said.

They saw the situation with their own eyes.

Khomeini was tempted.

Pahlavi’s defense force built by the bastards of American imperialism is not reliable to him. The army of reliable mullahs is not afraid of death, but does not have strong military quality.

The Chinese gave them a choice.

“How are you talking so far? What is the Chinese offer? Can you see the performance of their weapons and equipment?” Samnila asked.

They need too much money to support it.

What Khomeini wanted was not just a small elite force, but the navy, land and air forces.

The current contacts and negotiations with the Soviet Union are all working hard for this.

China is just a backup negotiator.

It is envisaged that the old army will use Western weapons and equipment, and the new guard will use advanced Soviet equipment. This will not have much impact on the army.

“Currently they don’t have a complete offer, whether it’s a tank or a self-propelled artillery…”

“What is the purpose of the Chinese?” Samnila didn’t believe that China had no purpose.

There is no benefit. Are they really proposing to help build the army and provide solutions for the friendship between the two countries?

“Selling weapons and equipment. According to them, the training of the troops is an incidental service. Of course, the purchase of weapons and equipment needs to reach a certain amount…” Ihor said with some embarrassment.

Only the Chinese would propose such a plan.

They sell the entire army’s construction plan, and train and purchase the operational skills and combat command capabilities of the soldiers that this army-building plan needs to equip…

Khomeini and others were moved, but they have not made a decision.

However, the procurement of air defense missiles from China has become a foregone conclusion.

The members of the Soviet weapons sales group who had been staying in Tehran were well informed and received the news that evening. The purchase of hundreds of millions of air defense missiles had little impact on the entire project they were talking about. The Chinese people were rushing to eat from their mouths. No way.

“We must tell them that the Chinese missiles are all imitations of us!” Katavsky, who was in his early 50s, roared in the Soviet delegation. “China’s Hongying-5 individual air defense missile is an imitation of our SA-7 air defense missile. In addition to this, do they have something else?”

The Soviets knew best about China’s military capabilities.

After all, China was poor and white back then. Without the help of the Soviet Union, China would not be able to build a basic industrialization.

“They developed a new anti-aircraft missile.” said a little man in his forties.

“Maxim, with China’s technical reserves, may have more advanced anti-aircraft missiles than ours?” Katavs Matrix asked.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“What we need to do now is to prevent the Iranians from purchasing Chinese anti-aircraft missiles! Sell our anti-aircraft missiles.” Ivanov, the person in charge who has been silent and smoking, looked at the quarreling men.

These guys don’t know if it’s because they have drunk too much, or if they haven’t drunk for too long, they have made their thinking unclear.

“We need to see Khomeini. The overall purchase agreement cannot be reached in a short period of time. We can settle the negotiations on air defense missiles first…” Ivanov said.

Khomeini and others were very happy for the Soviets’ initiative to ask for a meeting.

The Soviets are strong, and the whole world knows it.

“I heard that your country is going to purchase China’s individual air defense missiles?” After greeting, Katavsky asked Samnila without shy, “We can provide better performance air defense missiles.”

“Samnilla, is there such a thing?” Khomeini asked his defense minister.

The Soviets are too rude.

“The SA-7 air defense missile has many results in actual combat, is easy to operate, and is cheap. Or the SA-14, SA-16 with better performance…” Maxim is relatively young in the negotiating team.

Samnila couldn’t help but despise these guys. At first they only talked about the SA-7 missiles, each of which was priced at $120,000.

“The barbaric Arabs, when equipped with your SA-7 anti-aircraft missiles before, it did not affect our air force!” Samnila said calmly, “Your SA-7 can only attack fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters from the tail. ; SA-14 and SA-16 have significant ability to defend against air targets, and the anti-jamming performance is too poor…”

Naturally, the Iranian Defense Minister had to understand these Soviet air defense missiles.

In view of the situation that the Iranian fighters are not shot down, the less they are used, and the short-term cannot supplement enough fighters. The procurement of Soviet fighters also requires long-term training for pilots. Naturally, only anti-aircraft missiles can make ideas in the short term. .

The Soviets have nothing to say.

These are impossible for them to hide.

“We have the latest air defense missiles, which can effectively eliminate interference from the natural environment and infrared decoy interference…” Selling old-fashioned air defense missiles cannot be recognized by customers. Naturally, they can only come up with new ones.



Samnila looked at the Soviets and couldn’t help but sneer.

I used to think that only they could provide, and good things would not be sold at all.

By now, their third-generation air defense missiles are actually on sale.

“The Chinese air defense missile technology itself is an imitation of ours. Up to now, they have not many models to choose from, let alone many actual combat cases.” The Soviets simply look down on China’s production capacity and technological research and development capabilities on.

“Could it be that our fighters were shot down by the anti-aircraft missiles you sold to the Arabs many years ago?” Khomeini asked the Soviets. “You said at the beginning that the Chinese anti-aircraft missiles are not as good as their fire sticks, at least they burned fire. The stick does not cost money!”

China’s air defense missiles are not as good as burning fire sticks. This was what the Soviets told Khomeini.

Khomeini was pitted by the Soviets’ bragging, and now their large number of planes have been beaten down by Chinese fire sticks. The Soviets are still bragging here. How can they bear it?

Anyway, it has been decided to buy Chinese fire sticks for air defense missiles.

The Soviets were a little embarrassed.

Even so, we will not give up because of embarrassment. “The air defense missiles equipped in Iraq are all from the Soviet Union. Although there is no evidence at present, we would not believe that China’s air defense missiles can be so advanced!”

“You know the level of Chinese military industry. So far, they don’t even have third-generation tanks and fighter jets…air defense missiles, at best they are at the same level as our SA-7 air defense missiles, and even worse than ours… …” Maxim emphasized to the Iranian.

It is right to choose Soviet air defense missiles.

Chinese, no!

“According to our intelligence, the damn Iraqis got a batch of anti-aircraft missiles delivered by China a few days ago, and then our fighters were shot down! If it were your anti-aircraft missiles, they would have to wait until now?” Samnila Don’t believe the Soviets who are full of nonsense.

The Iran-Iraq War has been fought for more than four years.



Usually the air forces of both sides are just bombing the ground forces for fun, and aerial combat rarely occurs.

Iran’s lost aircraft, like other wars in the Middle East, were shot down in a small number of air battles, and they were all killed and wounded by ground fire.

No one in the entire world has a country in the Middle East that loves man-portable air defense missiles so much.

Therefore, later terrorists have more portable air defense missiles.

“Maybe it is the Northwesterly missile that the French provided to Iraq?” The Soviets really didn’t want China to get this order.

China imitated Soviet weapons and equipment, and ended up grabbing orders from the Soviet Union. How could it be tolerated?

At the Paris Air Show in 1981, France launched the world’s most advanced Northwest wind single-man portable air defense missile. Compared with the same type of portable missile, the warhead weighs no more than 2 kilograms, and the “Northwest Wind” warhead weighs 3 kilograms. Composed of two tungsten alloy steel balls, coupled with collision and laser proximity fuzes, it has strong lethality and can not only destroy aircraft but also anti-ship missiles.

This missile is equipped with a variety of sensing devices and has strong anti-jamming and countermeasures capabilities. As soon as it appeared, it was purchased by NATO countries in large quantities.

In the entire world, there is no portable air defense missile that sells better than Northwest Wind.

“At least, that’s not what you can provide us! In this regard, we have already decided.” Samnila got a signal from Khomeini and said firmly, “We can talk about other weapons and equipment.”

Anyway, they are determined and will not buy Soviet missiles.

The French’s northwest wind air defense missiles are not that Iran does not want to buy them, and they simply don’t sell them to Iran.

Even Iraqis can’t buy it, let alone sell it to them.

“We only need Chinese anti-aircraft missiles now! Reliable performance, simple operation, and low price.”

“You didn’t ask our price, how do you know that their missiles are cheaper?” The Soviets were angry.

“You can cost 120,000 U.S. dollars for junk goods like your SA-7. How much do you need to be more advanced?” Ihor said politely.
