Chapter 296 Integration of R33
Originally, the Soviet Union's focus was on Europe. No matter what advanced weapons were, they always equipped European ones first, such as T80 tanks and MiG-29 fighter jets.
But now, the situation has changed. Because the Soviet Union had an absolute disadvantage over Afghanistan, and several air battles ended in failure. Therefore, the Soviet Union changed its strategy and the new fighter planes were prepared for the Afghan battlefield!
Now, the improvement of the MiG29 has been completed. At the request of the Soviet Air Force, the Migoyang Design Bureau has carried out a large number of rectifications, and the process of launching fighting missiles has been simplified, and many of them have been replaced by automation devices. At the same time, advanced fighter jets such as the Su-27 have also been manufactured. As it equips the troops, it will completely compete with the Tomcat fighter jets for air supremacy!
"What is the main weapon of this fighter jet?" continued the Air Marshal Yefimov.
"It is mainly our fighting missiles and medium-range missiles." Simonov said: "among them, the missiles have shown strong fighting capabilities on the Afghan battlefield. The American Aim9l fighting missile is not as advanced as ours. Cooperating with our helmet scope and optoelectronic systems, the Tomcat fighter jets cannot get any benefits in close combat. The missiles are our newly developed medium-range missiles, with performance exceeding the French 530d and the American Aim7m sparrow. Our missiles are all more than the equipment of the Pakistan Air Force."
"What about the long-range aspect?" said Yefimov Air Marshal: "The Tomcat fighter jet is equipped with Immortal Missiles. It can launch attacks on us at long-range levels. Do we have corresponding long-range missiles?"
Long-range missiles? If there is, missiles are hung on the MiG31, but this kind of missile needs to be supported by advanced radars. Only the abnormal and expensive phased array radar on the MiG31 can support the launch of this missile. Although the radar on the Su-27 has a detection distance of more than 200 kilometers for bomber targets. However, for targets with a reflective area of 3 square meters, the effective detection distance will not exceed 80 kilometers. At such a distance, when preparing to launch the missile, it has reached the range of the medium-range missile.
Moreover, the weight exceeds half a ton! Due to the continuous weight loss, the maximum loading capacity of Su 27 is not more than four tons. When two are hung, the maneuverability of the carrier will be further dragged down. Except for flat flying, no maneuvering action can be done. It was not until the Su 27sk in later generations that it had improved to eight tons of plug-in capabilities.
However, all this cannot be said. Su 27 has been developed for so many years. If they cannot be put into service, they will bear the anger from the top leaders!
"We now have only one, equipped on the MiG31. We hope that the Rainbow Design Bureau can develop a long-range missile specifically for our fighter jets," Simonov said.
Historically, the Rainbow Design Bureau has developed the KS172 ultra-long-range missile that uses ramjet engines to boost it, with a range of more than 300 kilometers and is specially used to attack enemy early warning aircraft and other targets. However, it is truly finalized. It has been the 21st century.
What the Air Force wants to compete with is not only F15, but also F14 that uses Immortal Birds, so there must be corresponding means!
"When Su-27 is put into production, we can't wait for new missiles." said Yefimov Air Marshal.
Integration? Simonov was shocked and could only agree, they had no other choice.
Integration? Which hanging point can be hung more than half a ton? If you need to strengthen the hanger, you must strengthen the body, and strengthen the body, and then you must gain weight.
However, no matter how the integration is, at least, this kind of fighter has been put into production. The Sukhoi Design Bureau can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Afghanistan is like a heavy burden, constantly dragging down the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union cannot throw it away, which means that the military operations of countless Soviet soldiers have been declared failed. If we continue to fight, the Soviet Union seems to have no future, whether it is weapons or economy.
With the United States continuously putting pressure on the Middle East in the international market, the world's crude oil prices continue to be sluggish. The economy that the Soviet Union relies on most for oil exports has been losing money. Oil extraction from plateau frozen soil is high. Now, the crude oil exported by the Soviet Union is lower than the production cost. However, if it is not exported, the oil workers will be unemployed. The Soviet Union has to relocate those workers. No matter how it chooses, it will be difficult.
Therefore, the Soviet Union is just maintaining the status quo in Afghanistan. How to deal with the newly born northern Afghan regime is whether it is Chernenko's business, but his next term.
However, the Soviet troops stationed in southern Afghanistan were not tolerated.
The north is already a headache for the Forty Army. If there is another major turmoil in the south, the Soviet garrison will really have nowhere to go.
MiG, Su 17, Mi 24, BMP infantry fighting vehicles, BTR wheeled fighting vehicles, as well as a large number of Soviet troops and Afghan government forces, began to strangle the guerrillas in the south.
The southern guerrillas rely on Iran's aid and it is impossible to have air cover. They keep retreating and have almost no way to escape.
The Soviets' attacks were quite sharp, and the guerrillas seemed to be betrayed by traitors. They had just fled to a village, and within half an hour, the Soviet helicopters had arrived.
The Soviets used harsh means to suppress the guerrillas in the south, and soon the armed forces of the Party Alliance were in a state of panting. It was only a matter of time before they were completely eliminated.
The war affected many villages. Anyone who sympathized with the guerrillas was often wiped out. This made the local Afghan people hate the Soviets and also yearned for the Liberal Party regime in the north. I heard that the government there had completely controlled the situation and even the Soviets dared not attack them!
I heard that they mined a lot of mines and now they live very well!
As I kept hearing, some people finally couldn't help but couldn't keep living, so they decided to quietly move to a territory controlled by the Liberal Party in the north to find a job there and support their families.
Islamabad.
A dusty bearded man entered Islamabad and entered the Presidential Palace.
"Mr. Mhamad, I'm here." The bearded man walked into Mhamad's office and shouted in great affectionate manner.
"Osama!" Seeing the visitor from the opposite side, Mhamad was also very excited: "Will you come back so soon?"
"Yes, the South no longer needs us to help." Osama said: "Those guys are so careless and have been crippled by the Soviets. If it weren't for our plan, I would have really wanted to help them."
Of course, Osama understood Mhamad's spirit of action. It was impossible for the guys from the southern guerrillas to cooperate with the northern Liberal government under the control of the Eight-Party Alliance. The complex wars in Afghanistan were caused by too many parties, so these people needed to be eliminated.
Instead of driving away the Soviet Union in the future and launching a civil war, it is better to completely eradicate them now with the help of the Soviets.
The power that unites can unite? The current Afghan Free Army is already very powerful and does not need those people at all. It can also independently sweep the current Afghan pseudo-government and can severely attack the Soviet army. They do not need the power of the south. If the power of the south is increased, it will cause more trouble in the future.
However, looking at the Soviets, Osama's hands were itchy again. With the sign of the Southern guerrillas, Osama destroyed many Soviet troops.
Now, the battles in the south are very fierce, and the Soviets are determined to eliminate all the forces in the south.
At this time, Osama's team did not need to provoke it anymore, and Osama received news from Mhamad and came to Pakistan.
"Osama, I have another important task to call you here this time." Mhamad said.
Osama suddenly raised his ears. He liked tasks very much. The more important and difficult the tasks were, the more he liked them. The time spent in the office of the Liberal Government was considered to have caused him to be suffocated.
"What mission?" Osama said.
"Go to Iran and contact the spiritual leader. The Americans are bringing them weapons." Mhamad said.
Last time in the United States, Mhamad agreed to take out the Americans who were kidnapped by Lebanese extremist organizations.
Even an ordinary American citizen, the US president has to rescue him. What's more, the first American to be kidnapped is Barkley, the first-class secretary of the US Embassy in Lebanon and the stationmaster of the Beirut Station of the CIA.
This guy is from the CIA and was kidnapped by terrorists. He was really kicked in the brain by a donkey.
Moreover, six Americans have been kidnapped one after another, and the current Reagan administration is very overwhelming.
The kidnappers proposed three conditions to the U.S. government for releasing hostages: release 17 prisoners who were put into prison by the Kuwait government in 1983 for participating in planning and attacking the U.S. embassy in Kuwait; the U.S. government put pressure on Israel to release Palestinians and Lebanese detained by Israel and Southern Lebanese troops; provide loans to develop Southern Lebanon.
