Chapter 44 Senior Military Region Officials
The MiG-25 pilot Berenko's plan to defect, planned by the CIA, was ultimately failed due to Andre's intervention. In the waters of hundreds of nautical miles away from Hokkaido, the MiG-25 fell into the seabed.
Although I did not successfully obtain the defected MiG-25, it was still there after all! Now, as long as the plane is salvaged, the United States can still study the structure of the MiG-25!
So, at the meeting, when Locke, the head of the Far East of the CIA, said this plan, Lieutenant General Paul nodded and agreed, and the action must be fast!
Although I know that the MiG-25 fell to the approximate position at the bottom of the sea, if you want to salvage it, you must find the crash site accurately. After all, the average depth of the Sea of Japan is almost 2,000 meters, and ordinary divers cannot dive to this depth.
Therefore, the United States used two ocean surveying ships to start searching near the crash location. These two ocean surveying ships were equipped with advanced measurement equipment that could map the geological appearance of the seabed, and could also find the MiG-25 that sank to the seabed.
At the same time, the salvage boat is also on standby. Once the sunken location is found, salvage will be carried out immediately!
The Soviets didn't expect that this hundred nautical miles would be equivalent to giving the MiG-25 to their own side!
The measurement ship constantly emits ultrasound waves to detect the seabed. The images synthesized by the computer are displayed on the screen of the measurement ship. As long as the outline of the MiG-25 is found, a deep-sea diver will be sent down to observe and confirm.
This work is long and boring. Many times, it depends on luck. After several hours of work, the people on the ship are all tired.
At this moment, a roar came from the distant sky. A sailor on the deck looked at the sky to the east, and four fighter planes were flying in roaring.
F-4! At this time, what did our air force do when it was dispatched?
"Altitude 28,000, speed 2.8, damn, we can't intercept this speed and altitude at all!" After the long-range radar discovered the Soviet movement, the US Air Force urgently dispatched four fighter jets to prepare for interception.
However, facing those fighter jets flying at high altitude and high speed, the pilots of the F-4 fighter were helpless. They couldn't reach the altitude and were not as fast as others in speed. They were just blocking it.
Twenty-eight thousand is already at the height of the stratosphere. The air here is thin and you can see the wonderful scene at the edge of the earth. Every time you fly to this height, Andrey will sigh at the charm of the earth.
This time, he flew his own No. 032 fighter plane, a MiG-25R reconnaissance plane, and two aircraft that escorted the brothers' troops, flew from high altitude towards the predetermined waters.
After crossing the midline of the Sea of Japan, both aircraft had climbed to an altitude of 28,000 meters, and at the same time they increased their force to maximize their flight, carrying out a Mach number of 2.8.
Turning on the radar, Andre saw four highlights and said to the pilot of the reconnaissance plane in the radio: "032 call 462, 032 call 462, and four American fighters were found, with an altitude of 16,000 and a speed of 15, which was not threatening."
Due to its excellent high-altitude and high-speed performance, the MiG-25 interceptor type has begun to be developed after it was put into service. This high-altitude and high-speed aircraft is simply born for reconnaissance, so that in the end, sixty percent of the MiG-25's total output is reconnaissance/bombing type.
At the beginning, the Migoyang Design Bureau equipped the MiG-25 with five "Zenit" aerial reconnaissance cameras produced by the Kazan "Jeret" Optical Instrument Factory, 4 of which were A70M lateral reconnaissance cameras and the other was A/E-10 terrain reconnaissance cameras. After entering service, it became the most advanced reconnaissance aircraft in Soviet equipment.
However, pure reconnaissance aircraft is a bit wasteful, so the Migoyan Design Bureau continued to install bombing aiming systems for these production MiG-25Rs, expanded the cross-sectional area of the air inlet and increased the ceiling. At the same time, it also adopted two newer A-72 cameras with 150MM lens to replace the A-70M camera and A/E-10 cameras, and can optionally be equipped with SRS-4A/B/V electronic reconnaissance equipment, as well as SPS-141 "alarm" electronic anti-jammer. It has developed into the MiG-25RB reconnaissance bomber.
Now, the one flying with Andre is such an aircraft, and the mission of the two aircraft is to investigate and take photos of Americans' maritime operations.
When the two planes were discovered, the Americans took off and intercepted them immediately. Unfortunately, facing the two planes flying from high altitude, the Americans had no way to intercept them.
It whizzed through the sky, and although after finding the American salvage boat below, he started taking photos and returning, he almost rubbed against the edge of Hokkaido, and completed the turn. The two planes whizzed and flew back to the base.
The investigation photos were sent to wash, and Andre, who had just changed out of his flight suit, was called to Kuori Dub's office.
"Report." Andrey shouted, heard the echo inside, pushed open the door and walked in.
After entering, Andre saw two people whom he didn't know, in addition to the base commander Kuori Dub and the regiment commander Ivanov. Both of them looked about fifty years old, with wrinkles on their faces and were still energetic.
After looking at it again, Andre glanced at one of the people's shoulders. The yellow pattern and the three stars on it were stunned. This guy is a general.
The other one is wearing an air defense uniform and carrying it on his shoulders, which is also the rank of lieutenant general.
No wonder Kuori Dub is like this today, smiling as bad as seeing the KGB guy. It turns out that the leader is here!
"Andre, captain of the 513th Regiment of the Soviet National Air Defense Force, come and report." Andre said to the person in front of him.
"Captain Andre, this is our commander of the Far East Military Region, General Ivan Trechyangko, Lieutenant General Constantine Burman, and the commander-in-chief of our Far East Military Region Air Defense Force." Kuori Dub said: "Today is the most glorious day of our Sokolovka base, and the inspection of the two commanders."
Turns out he is a senior military district official!
