Chapter 987

Gorbachev wants to withdraw his troops

"Now, our country needs to change in all aspects. We need to invest funds to produce and build. However, we have fought for nine years in Afghanistan. What is the result now? We have suffered more than 50,000 soldiers and consumed 40 billion rubles. Can anyone tell me how much money Afghanistan needs to invest and how many soldiers we have suffered to pacify?" Gorbachev said sternly.

"Afghanistan is related to our national strategy and is a necessary passage for our development to the south. Only by occupying Afghanistan can we open our passage to the south." At this time, Marshal Nikolai Ogarkov said.

The meeting was particularly cold. Except for Nikola's few words of defense, no one else dared to speak. Even the newly appointed Minister of Defense, General Yazov, did not say a word.

"Is that so? Then what are we going there? Are we going to swim in the Indian Ocean? Exhausting the last drop of blood in our country and turning our last piece of iron into a bomb for a reason to go south to the Indian Ocean?" Gorbachev said, his face ashen.

Hearing Gorbachev say this, no one else dared to speak. General Gromov, who came back from Afghanistan, did not say a word, and even the Minister of Defense did not defend himself. Who dared to speak? Nikola contradicted the General Secretary today, and maybe he would be exiled in a few days.

"We need a detailed report on whether our war in Afghanistan should continue, and when will our withdrawal begin?" Gorbachev said: "General Yazov, I hope the Ministry of Defense can complete this plan as soon as possible."

"Yes, General Secretary." Yazov said.

After leaving the conference room, all the faces were ugly. They were the main leaders of the military. They knew what Afghanistan meant to them, but the new General Secretary was no longer willing to continue in Afghanistan.

More than 50,000 soldiers were injured and killed. Could it be that they just retreated?

"This is simply a betrayal of our great Soviet!" Sergei said: "That Gorbachev, who doesn't understand military affairs at all. He thought that our invasion of Afghanistan was just for invasion and expansion? That is the only way for our Soviet Union to develop!"

In front of Sergei, Gromiko's face was still very calm. Now, Gorbachev is getting richer and finally, he begins to get rid of his influence.

This time, Gorbachev held a military meeting, and the content of the meeting did not reveal any information to Gorbachev. After the meeting was completed, Gorbachev realized that Gorbachev wanted to withdraw his troops from Afghanistan!

"We cannot let Gorbachev come back, his power is getting stronger and stronger, and he will remove the positions of commander and minister of defense of the air defense force. He has just one sentence, and he will now withdraw his troops from Afghanistan again. This is Erection

i General Secretary Nev personally set a major task. We need to continue to invest troops and pacify Afghanistan. However, in Gorbachev's eyes, only our military spends too much and just wants to reduce military spending. He is committing suicide with our army. We want Gorbachev to know that it is wrong to do this!" said Konstantinovich Moldin, the former leader of the KGB.

After saying this, he was a little startled by his words, but then he strengthened his thoughts and Gromiko cast a supportive look at him.

Without Gromiko's support, Gorbachev could not have become the general secretary at all. After the death of Defense Minister General Ustinov, Gorbachev began to gradually become dissatisfied with the military. With the help of the last incident, he finally mobilized the top military leaders into his own. He thought that this would allow the Soviet army to be controlled?

Gorbachev was still too naive. He didn't know that the Soviet Union was really controlled by them. Although they were not on the surface, they were all controlled by the grassroots personnel and the bottom of the army.

In the Soviet Union, there was a special class called the Elderly Group, since the Brexit

After Nev announced the lifelong system of cadres, they began to flourish and develop gradually. The dissatisfaction with Gorbachev is only one aspect, and a more important reason, that is, Gorbachev's reforms touched their interests!

"It is absolutely impossible for Gorbachev to withdraw our troops from Afghanistan. We must let Gorbachev know that Afghanistan is important," said Air Force Marshal Boris Pavlovich Bugaev.

"What's your idea?" Gromiko asked.

"We are on the battlefield in Afghanistan. Although there are always guerrilla attacks on the ground, the sky is completely ours." Bugaev said. Although he is now in charge of the civil aviation department, he is an air marshal after all, and is familiar with air combat. "When we cruise in the air, we often encounter sneak attacks from the Pakistani air force."

Sergei smiled when talking about Pakistan's sneak attack. Although he had only been the Minister of Defense for more than a year, he was still very clear about Pakistan's sneak attacks. In the first few years of entering Afghanistan, because Pakistan always secretly smuggled weapons to Afghan guerrillas, the Soviet Air Force had invaded Pakistan's airspace several times on a large scale to attack targets supporting guerrillas there, and then engaged in several battles with Pakistan's air force. Since it was mainly ground attack aircraft, it was always at a disadvantage in the air battle with Pakistan.

"When we encounter a sneak attack from the Pakistan Air Force, we must launch a counterattack on them, which can even include bombing their bases. In this case, our conflict with Pakistan will be great. At this time, Gorbachev announced the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. Then, our Soviet army will be ridiculed by the whole world." Sergei continued.

Gromiko frowned slightly. Yes, this is a good solution. Especially in the original strategy, pro-American Pakistan was actually their next goal after invading Afghanistan. Otherwise, how could we open up the channel to Southeast Asia? However, the problem of Afghanistan has not been solved, and the next goal cannot be achieved at all.

Now, stimulate Pakistan and provoke conflicts, so that Gorbachev can't stand it. If you don't fight, you have to fight!

"Okay, we can do that." Gromiko agreed.

Next, things were very easy to handle, with the Soviet Fourth Army headquartered in Temaitz, Turkmenistan Soviet Republic, stationed at Bagram Air Base in northern Kabul

The leader of the aviation regiment said hello and told him what to do.

Unexpectedly, their opportunity came very quickly.

However, this is not their provocation.

October 5, 1987

i.

A twin-engine turboprop transport aircraft, flying near the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, is an An-26 transport aircraft of the Afghan Air Force, flying towards Khorst. There are 39 people on the plane, all of which are Afghan military personnel.

The pilot has been flying this route many times, and it was just an ordinary trunk sail. However, he didn't know that his inertial navigation system had a malfunction, he deviated from his own channel and entered Pakistani airspace, and the target was pointing at the Paragina radar station.

In the other direction, two F-16 fighter jets were cruising at an altitude of three thousand meters.

In order to prevent Afghan aircraft from flying into its own airspace, the Pakistan Air Force has been cruised on the border line. Because these areas are mountainous, the Pakistan Air Force does not have pre-order aircraft. Establishing ground radar stations on the mountains is a very important means.

In the mountains, these deployments were very difficult, and finally, Pakistan was established in the Landikota region and the Alawari region.

No. 4084

and 4102

Two early anti-jing radar stations, some fixed radar stations were established between Swat and Milansha, as well as active low-altitude radar systems and some mobile observation posts. These radars are not only responsible for monitoring the operations of the Soviet Air Force and the Afghan Air Force, but also for guiding Pakistani fighter jets at the two air bases of Peshawar and Salmongri.

"Note,... in the direction of the clock, a slow plane, suspected to be an electronic reconnaissance plane, is flying towards Parachi and immediately intercepting it." said the radio.

In the direction of Paragina, there is a radar station.

Hearing the sound from the radio, Lieutenant Abdul Razak and Lieutenant Sikander Hayat, flying the F-16 fighter jet, immediately turned toward the direction of the clock, and then turned on his radar.

At this time, the ground targets are thirty to forty miles away from them.

On the radar display, after a circle of bright lines turns, a target appears on the screen.

"Discover the target," Abdul said.

Unfortunately, they are not flying over seven. If they are over seven, they can use the medium-range sparrow missile. Now they can enter the final preparation and launch the shè missile. Now, they still need to continue flying, enter the visual range, and use short-range missiles to attack.

Abdul felt that his adrenaline secretion began to increase. When he turned on the extra force, the two f-16s began to quickly approach the target.

After the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the only J-6 fighter jets that could be used by the Pakistan Air Force was equipped with the Rattlesnake missile. This fighter's xing ability was already very outdated and could not be effectively intercepted. Therefore, the initial interceptions were very failed.

It was not until later that the U.S. F-16 and Iraq's Super Seven were introduced that the situation changed greatly, especially the Super Seven, which could fire a mid-range bomb. At a distance of 30 kilometers, it was very sure to intercept the opponent. After that, the situation of the Afghan Air Force invading Pakistan's airspace was greatly reduced. (To be continued.
