Soviet Union 1991

First update

After a brief stay in Moscow, Maziyer went to Sebasbotol Naval Base for military exchanges and inspected the Soviet Black Sea Fleet ships. And make full preparations for the replacement of Turkish ships. However, Maziyel’s purpose this time is to expand the Turkish Navy, so military exchanges are the top priority. In addition, Maziyer also came from the military, so he valued the combat capabilities of the Soviet Black Sea Fleet even more. Of course, Yanayev also invited Smiryev to attend this time. His meaning was very clear. Doesn’t Türkiye want to sell ships? Whether you can successfully deceive others depends on your navy's ability. After getting Yanayev's permission, he also began to prepare to sell the remaining old ships of the Black Sea Fleet. Now that the Soviet Union wants to be the hegemon of the Black Sea, it should have a qualitative advantage rather than a quantitative advantage.

As soon as Smiryev came up, he introduced the Cassin class to General Mazyel, which is the "Agility" and "Smart" that are still in service in the Black Sea Fleet. This large anti-submarine ship, which once forced Türkiye's Plevizer-class submarines to retreat in the Black Sea confrontation, left a deep impression on Maziyer.

Fortunately, Demirel was ousted from power in 1997 and replaced by the neutral Acting President Maziye. Otherwise, Turkey would have received eight Perry-class frigates from the United States in accordance with the agreement next year. By then, the development of Türkiye's naval military strength will no longer be controlled by the Soviet Union.

There are still Kashin-class destroyers in the Sevastopol Naval Base. The Rapid, which was supposed to be retired early, was just used as a product to fool the Turkish Navy. What's more, Smiryev also proposed an improved version of the Kashin-class. plan.

The blowing sea breeze and the gentle sunshine made everything look like a leisurely summer afternoon. After Maziel's visit, the Sevastopol base did not show its usual busyness. Instead, it seemed as if he was deliberately avoiding Maziel. In a relaxed state. Smiryev originally did not want the Turkish side to pry into certain secrets, so he unilaterally gave the base personnel a holiday.

Smiryev did not do much else and directly brought Mazyel to the Fast and the Red Caucasus. After 1994, the Black Sea Fleet almost retired two ships due to financial reasons. Later, when the funds were sufficient, the Black Sea Fleet resumed The Red Caucasus was put into service, but at this time the Rapid had become a terminal hero, but before he was dismembered, the Rapid encountered the Turkish Navy.

Of course, Smiryev showed his kindness to the Turkish delegation. He introduced Maziyer to the behemoth in front of him, and boarded the deck of the Cassin class with Maziyer to show him The great strength of this ship.

"Styx ship-to-ship missiles, Goa ship-to-air missiles, 76mm naval guns, 5-barrel torpedoes, plus deep-diving bombs. The Cassin class is capable of executing anti-ship, anti-aircraft and anti-submarine combat plans at the same time. And stuck The Xin class is undergoing modernization, we have replaced the rear gun with 406 torpedo tubes and rear variable depth sonar, and replaced the 533 torpedo tubes with 25 missiles.”

Smiryev added the gimmick of modernization and modification in order to improve the competitiveness of this Cassin-class ship. However, in Maziyer's eyes, the Cassin-class is still not perfect enough. The obsolete electronic equipment it used was not up to the standard that the Turkish army wanted in Maziyel's eyes. Smiryev was not an Indian Asan who was deceived after just a few words, so he politely made a request to visit other ships.

"I want to see the Venomous Spider-class missile boats designed by the Soviet Union. Türkiye is very interested in this type of fast boat."

Maziyer also has his own plans. Although the Poison Spider missile boat is not large in tonnage, its onboard electronic equipment is densely installed and its onboard weapons are powerful. It reflects the fine tradition of Russian ship design, which is to maximize the ship's fire strike capability. The combat missions that Russia's newly designed Poison Spider missile boat can perform have also expanded from the early stage of mainly attacking surface ships to conducting maritime patrols, fishing protection, escort, blocking enemy ports and attacking enemy near-shore targets, etc., so that It can be fully used as a light frigate. The Spider-class is Russia's main export missile boat. Poland, Bulgaria, Vietnam, Yemen, and Romania are all customers of the Spider. Among them, India is its largest user country and has introduced corresponding production lines.

Compared with the Kasin-class destroyers whose deterrence value is greater than their actual use, Maziyel believes that the Turkish Navy needs this kind of small, intensive offensive speed boats more. And it can also perform multiple tasks. From this point of view, the Turkish Navy's purchase of the Poison Spider is far better than the purchase of the Kasin-class destroyer.

Hearing this news, Smiryev was a little disappointed. He was eager to sell the Cassin-class in his hands.

"If the Poison Spider-class missile boats are available, Turkey will order three to five ships. Of course, Turkey will also accept all second-hand ships. I wonder what General Smiryev thinks?" Maziyer asked, He was like a shrewd businessman, and Smiryev could not get any advantage from him.

"Okay, then let's go see the Poison Spider-class missile boat." Smiryev cheered up and said with a smile. Rather than getting nothing, it is better to sell those poisonous spiders in service at a discount and make room in the formation for the newly designed poisonous spider missile boats at the Black Sea Shipyard.

In the end, this little guy with a tonnage of only 500 defeated the 4,500-ton Kasin class and became the first choice of the Turkish Navy. Perhaps reciprocating the favor, Mazyel ordered three brand-new Poison Spider missile boats and two old Black Sea Fleet ships in one go, which became the Turkish Navy's patrol, escort, and auxiliary offensive tools. Even so, Smiryev was still a little resentful. He even complained to Defense Minister Yazov on the phone, thinking that Maziye should purchase the Kashin class.

But that was just Smiryev's idea, and this result had long been expected by Yanayev. For the Turkish Navy, the largest destroyer ever was also the Kilin-class destroyer. What's more, it was sunk by its own air force during the Cyprus war between Türkiye and Greece. Even if Maziyel now wants to develop and vigorously develop the Turkish Navy, he has to adopt a compromise form because of the deep contradiction between the air force and the navy. Otherwise, the Turkish Air Force should clamor to buy new fighters.

Yanayev said to Defense Minister Yazov, "Smiryev is a naval general after all, and his consideration of the issue is still a little lacking. He thought that after Turkey suffered losses in the Black Sea, and the Turkish Strait is a strategic location, it should It will vigorously develop large ships and may even engage in a maritime arms race with the Soviet Union. However, unexpectedly, due to internal conflicts in the Turkish army, Maziyel only purchased small ships.”

In 1974, when Turkey and Greece fought for Cyprus, a fierce conflict broke out. In July, the Turkish Air Force discovered a destroyer fleet suspected of being a "Greek Navy" off the coast of Cyprus. Türkiye immediately dispatched 100 and 104 fighter jets to take off with bombs attached. The combat efficiency of the Turkish Air Force is indeed not low. A total of three Turkish Navy destroyers were sunk and damaged: Koka Debei, Aida Debei, and Marshal Fifcicakmark. The Turkish Navy first complained to the Ministry of Defense in a telegram: All the things sunk by the Turkish Air Force in this glorious victory were the property of the Turkish Navy. A total of 2 naval soldiers were killed, accounting for four percent of the total casualties of Turkish soldiers in this war. one!

However, the Turkish Navy is not a vegetarian. It used anti-aircraft missiles to shoot down a 104 fighter jet of the Turkish Air Force. This arms purchase alone can reflect the blood feud between the Turkish Navy and Army. Even hardliners like Maziel are cautious when coordinating conflicts between the two armies.

"Why don't we recommend Turkish fighter jets again? This time Maziyeir purchased the Poison Spider-class missile boat, why not let Turkey purchase our fighter jets?" Defense Minister Yazov said half-jokingly.

Yanayev shook his head and rejected the proposal, "Turkey is not a fool. Their fighter jets are all American fighter jets. Even the logistics system is provided by the United States. By purchasing Soviet fighter jets, are they planning to exhaust their logistics department to death?"

As soon as Yanayev finished saying this, he seemed to think of something and paused slightly. He scratched his head and said to himself, "No, no. We can try to sell Soviet fighter jets to Türkiye, huh."

Yazov said excitedly, "General Secretary Yanayev, what's wrong? Have you thought of a way to sell arms to Türkiye?"

"That's right," Yanayev said. "As long as Maziye is an ally of the Soviet Union, the United States and even NATO will always be hostile to Turkey's existence, right?"

"Yes." Yazov nodded, wondering what the purpose of this was to sell Turkish fighter jets.

"So should Türkiye's order for fighter jet replacement parts from the United States be cancelled?" Yanayev showed a mysterious smile. President Mario is now very unhappy with Maziel's confrontation with the United States.

"As long as we allow the United States to continue to deepen its relationship with the PKK, conflicts will not break out between Türkiye and the Soviet Union, right?"

"You mean?" Yazov was stunned for a moment.

"Use public opinion propaganda to create friendly relations between Turkey and the Soviet Union. Continue to alienate the relationship between Turkey and NATO. According to Mario's suspicious way, I think the cancellation of orders will probably come true in the near future. Yanayev said with a smile.

Seeing the US allies being alienated one by one, Yanayev was really in a happy mood.

I really want to complain about Qidian, but I can’t log in to the backend for half an hour! ! ! ! To be continued
