Chapter 776 Our fuel-air explosive bombs can be used not only for military purposes, but also for ci
The next day.
Both sides held a press conference in Baghdad.
The Gulf War is over, but the number of media reporters in Baghdad continues unabated.
There is a lot of news to be mined in Iraq's post-war reconstruction work, and there are also many reporters digging behind the scenes of the Gulf War. For example, media reporters from Arab countries specialize in reporting on the US military's bombing of schools, hospitals, nursing homes, etc.
This time the US military launched a bombing campaign against Iraq, regardless of military facilities or civilian facilities. This caused dissatisfaction in the Arab world.
There are also some peace-loving people who are extremely dissatisfied with this behavior of the US military, which makes Americans feel a little disgraced.
Therefore, many reporters came to this media conference.
"Before this, many Western media assessed that it would take five or even eight years to put out the fires in our domestic oil fields. We were looking for Chinese companies. Many Western media were not optimistic about it, but in fact they did it in just a few years. In just one day, they put out two oil field fires!" The person in charge of the Iraqi National Oil Company felt proud.
He said with excitement: "They have adopted a new fire-extinguishing plan, using cloud explosion bombs to be dropped around the fire column to block oxygen from contacting the leaked oil, while also lowering the temperature around the oil well to avoid re-ignition after the fire is extinguished. So far, They have extinguished two fires and the oil wellheads have been successfully blocked. As long as new oil wellheads are replaced, the two oil wells can resume production. "
At the same time, the scene of yesterday's fire fighting was played live.
When reporters saw rocket launchers and tanks firing salvos of artillery shells, the spectacle was so spectacular that it was extremely shocking.
Especially the rise of a huge mushroom cloud shocked their souls.
Many reporters don’t know about cloud bombs at all, they only know about mushroom bombs. They couldn’t help but say: “You use mushroom bombs to put out fires!?”
"Are you conducting nuclear tests?"
"Everyone, please be quiet. This is not a mushroom bomb. It is a cloud bomb. It can burn a large amount of oxygen when it explodes, causing the fire column to lose oxygen and extinguish it!" the person in charge explained.
"How is that possible! This is military equipment, how can it put out a fire?" an American reporter retorted loudly.
Pang Hu said expressionlessly: "This is military equipment for civilian use. Cloud explosive bombs can be used not only for military use, but also for civilian use! They are used for firefighting. We put out fires in our oil fields, and your American CIA agents are right next to us. If you don't believe it, you can Go interview the CIA!"
"Facts have proven that this plan is effective! Facts speak louder than words! Just like you Americans only consider the killing effect, we in China invented gunpowder and used it to make fireworks for civilian use. It is the same now. We also use cloud explosive bombs Used for firefighting!" Pang Hu has no good impression of Americans.
After going abroad that year, he was responsible for mercenary work and dealt with many Americans.
Americans are not good at construction, but they are good at destruction.
Originally, Pang Hu was tired after so many years of mercenary career. He reported for discharge and wanted to spend more time with his wife and children.
But this time, he went abroad to Iraq again, responsible for coordinating the loan of equipment and arranging the team to launch cloud bombs.
Others may be wary of Americans, but Pang Hu is not.
The faces of the American reporters present turned red, white, and blue.
It's just that Pang Hu had murderous intent in his eyes, and these media reporters didn't dare to look at Pang Hu or find trouble.
The news quickly spread throughout the world.
Soviet Union, Moscow.
"It's really unbelievable that the Chinese people can come up with this way to put out oil field fires!" an expert exclaimed.
The Soviet Union is rich in oil and gas resources, and naturally there have been fires.
The Soviet Union has rich experience in putting out fires.
Originally, the Soviet Union also planned to participate in the business of extinguishing oil field fires in Iraq, and wanted to take this opportunity to make a lot of money.
It's just that Saddam resented the Soviet Union for abandoning Iraq at the last moment, not exporting weapons and equipment to Iraq, and withdrawing the Soviet military expert team and technical personnel. He has not relented in this regard.
The method the Soviet Union came up with was to use mushroom bombs to extinguish the fire.
In this regard, the Soviet Union has practical experience.
In 1963, a fire broke out in the Uzbek oil field during drilling. The oil field fire burned for three years. Soviet engineers tried various conventional methods but failed to extinguish the oil field fire.
Even injecting various chemicals and concrete into the oil wells, they could not block the oil wells. In the end, the Soviets came up with the idea of using mushroom bomb explosions to block the oil wells and put out the oil field fires.
"Yeah, why didn't we think of it before, that cloud explosive bombs can have such uses!" Another expert couldn't help but praise, "Chinese people's brains are easier to use, and they also want to use this method."
The Soviet Union naturally has cloud explosive bombs.
Not long after the Americans developed cloud explosive bombs, the Soviet Union also developed cloud explosive bombs.
China has developed cloud explosive bombs, and the Soviets know this.
"This time, the Chinese people have made a lot of money from the business of putting out oil field fires!" One expert was very envious.
Normally, the profits of the oil field fire extinguishing business are very thin.
Because it takes a long time and requires a lot of people to put out oil field fires.
Normally, business profits in this area range from 10% to 20%.
It seems that the profit is not bad, but there is a great personal risk. Once there are many casualties, the profit will be lost.
Like using fuel-air explosive bombs to put out fires now, although fuel-air explosive bombs are not cheap, the fire-fighting time is very short, and the profit created by this is high.
This is really enviable.
"Their equipment has reached the world's advanced level now. It is hard to imagine how much damage such a volley would cause to the troops on the battlefield?" A military expert shook his head and said, "They took out so many fuel-air explosive bombs to put out the fire. Who knows how many fuel-air explosive bombs they have in their hands."
"Tanks and armored vehicles can withstand it, but what about infantry? Do troops have to prepare oxygen cylinders and carry oxygen cylinders to fight in the future?"
"They are not only putting out fires, but also taking this opportunity to practice. According to the information obtained by our intelligence personnel, they will also use short positions. For this reason, they mobilized two H-6s to the Middle East." This military expert looked at the problem more from a military perspective.
The H-6 is China's largest bomber, with a normal takeoff weight of 72 tons, a maximum takeoff weight of 75.8 tons, a maximum landing weight of 5.5 tons, a normal bomb load of 3 tons, a bomb load of 9 tons, and a maximum range of 5,760 kilometers.
In China's triad nuclear strike, the H-6 is responsible for the aerial platform, which can be used to launch and drop mushroom bombs.
In the past, the H-6 had never stepped out of China, but this time it went to the Middle East.
Now no one knows how many fuel-air explosive bombs China has.
If there are a large number of fuel-air explosive bombs, then the war cannot be fought at all.
Think about it, every soldier has to carry an oxygen cylinder, how can this fight?
