Chapter 736 Flicking the investment of local tyrants
"Our own technology makes it hard for us to believe. There is a joke that the United States has received help from aliens. When we first saw this plane, this statement was wandering in my mind. I really thought it was like this." Standing outside the plane, as the commentator for the declassification, the US Air Force Chief of Staff General Welch was also extremely emotional at this time.
American technology is powerful, so powerful that it is like alien technology! After the invention of radar, it has always been the main means of detecting aircraft, and now, our own aircraft can already be invisible in front of radar!
"Everyone has seen the plane behind me." Welch continued: "This plane is the manifestation of our latest technology in the United States, our new generation of stealth fighter! No. F-117 Nighthawk. In the previous Iraq War, fighter jets like us took off frequently and went to bomb Iraq, maintaining a record of 100% mission completion rate. During many flights, these fighters continued to enter and exit Iraqi airspace, but were never discovered. Those so-called powerful S-300 air defense systems did not find the existence of our fighter jets at all. At most they could only find what we threw down."
F-117, a powerful stealth fighter! This news released by the United States instantly caused a sensation all over the world! The appearance of this fighter is simply too sci-fi, it is really alien technology! It seems that in terms of technology, the United States has a greater advantage!
"Invisible technology? It seems that the Americans really have no tricks and have turned out their trump cards in advance." Andre, who returned to Moscow and personally reported the progress of the Middle East to Andropov, watched the news released by the United States. After reading it, Andre's evaluation of this was quite low.
In history, Americans did not dare to disclose their F-117 at all. This is a trump card to check and balance the Soviet Union in the Cold War! The Soviets also knew the existence of this stealth aircraft, but they didn't even know the appearance of this aircraft. Therefore, the Americans achieved the greatest deterrence effect, which was comparable to nuclear weapons.
In fact, the confidentiality of the F-117 is the largest confidentiality project except the Manhattan project. Americans were unwilling to expose their trump card in advance. It was not until 1988 that the Soviet Union was almost abolished, and the United States made such an aircraft public.
But now, Americans take out this kind of thing and show off their advanced technology. This is purely seeking death!
"Andre, your predictions on stealth technology are quite accurate." Defense Minister Ustinov said: "The Americans dare to disclose the F-117 now, so their new fighter jets must have adopted more advanced stealth technology. We must not be behind in stealth technology. Now, since the Americans have disclosed their stealth technology, how about we disclose our anti-stealth technology?"
Stealth aircraft is a huge threat! Therefore, a few years ago, Andre proposed that there must be technical means to fight against stealth aircraft. One of them is the meter wave radar! Stealth aircraft can be discovered by the meter wave radar. At the same time, it can achieve precise positioning through networking and finally reaching the level of guiding ground and space. This is also a basic research by our side, and has made great progress now.
Andre quickly shook his head: "No, of course not! We cannot fall into the trap of the Americans and expose our trump card in advance! Now, Americans still think that their stealth aircraft is omnipotent and we have no way to fight. Why do we tell Americans our way?"
Ustinov nodded. Indeed, he was a little stupid just now and could not be as stupid as Americans.
"Then what measures should we take to resist the United States?" Ustinov asked.
The United States announces their stealth aircraft, which is a challenge. So what about our own side? We have to face the challenge! What should we announce to make the Americans suffer?
"Just yesterday, I met with representatives from the UAE, Bahrain and Qatar, and negotiated our inspection of tankers in the Strait of Hormuz." Andre said: "The exchange process was very smooth."
Check the tanker! Now, only these countries along the Persian Gulf coast are ungrateful, so Andre used the establishment of checkpoints in the Strait of Hormuz to make these countries compromise. Yesterday’s exchange was so satisfying!
"Andre, what does this have to do with what we are talking about now?" asked Foreign Minister Gromiko.
"Of course it's related. In the final stage, under my deception, these rich people agreed to participate in one of our projects. At the Moscow Air Show, no one was willing to invest in our projects. Now, we finally found a rich man."
Project at the Moscow Air Show! Hearing Andre's words, Gromiko suddenly remembered something: "You mean, the plan to transform the MiG-25 into a passenger plane?"
"Yes." Andrey looked brilliant.
The MiG-25, a high-altitude and high-speed fighter, once showed its power under Andre's operation, chasing the fighter jets in the Western world, is Andre's most casual car and the Soviet Union's ace weapon.
However, with the continuous development of technology, this kind of fighter aircraft that deliberately pursues high-altitude and high-speed is already behind, and new air combat will not pursue this kind of performance.
Stealth, super maneuverability, and advanced electronic systems are the requirements of the latest fighter jets. Although the MiG-25 is a fighter that relies on high altitude and high speed, it now has its nemesis. Not to mention anything else, the Soviet Union's own S-300 air defense can beat the MiG-25 down, and the Americans' newly developed Aegis system and Patriot system also have this ability. The United States has lived in the shadow of the MiG-25 for so many years, and of course it will also develop restraint weapons.
Then, the MiG-25 is already behind. In addition to the MiG-31 upgraded from the MiG-25, it also acts as a long-range heavy interceptor in the vast Soviet sky, a large number of MiG-25s have begun to gradually withdraw from the sequence of the National Air Defense Force and have been replaced with the Su-27. Therefore, this fighter has also begun to be exported continuously. Syria and Iraq are all early users.
However, it is not a big deal to deceive the exit. As MiG 29 also began to allow exports, the MiG 25's way out was blocked. How can this fighter continue to exert its remaining energy? Before the air show, Andrei, as one of the personnel preparing for the air show, moved out the MiG-25's modification.
MiG-25 version of supersonic business jet! (To be continued.)
