The Vietnamese's carefully planned sneak attack was unexpectedly shot down before it even flew into the territory of China. This also gave Vietnam great fear. Fortunately, the Chinese cultivators had no intention of bombing their capital Hanoi with planes, but the Chinese fighter jets

The PLA is powerful enough to complete this task, so the nature of the matter is that China has the ability, but it depends on whether it has the will.

Just like Qi Yiming's era, no matter whether China wants to seek hegemony or not, as long as it has the ability or potential to push the U.S. emperor down from his position as hegemon, the U.S. emperor will be very nervous and use all means to contain it. So in international politics

Many problems have nothing to do with subjective factors. Politicians are a group of insecure old men!

In order to solve the serious imbalance in air force strength (there seems to be no imbalance in other services), Vietnam’s Minister of Defense Moon Tien Dung specifically expressed to the Air Force Commissioner Voroshilov of the Soviet Military Advisory Group that Vietnam needs more socialist big brother

Assist and support the Vietnamese people to resist the unjust Chinese revisionists and regain the land that belongs to them.

It was just in May this year that Gorbachev, the map leader who was said to be the main culprit for the collapse of the Soviet Union and the collapse of the country, took office. A group of Soviet officials, big and small, surrounding the map leader were all a little bit crazy. Wen Jinyong's

When the request went to Soviet Foreign Minister Shevardnadze, the foreign minister responded relatively coldly and just said he would think about it first.

Shevardnadze was a Georgian who eventually became the president of Georgia after the collapse of the Soviet Union. He served as the first secretary of Georgia in the 1970s and established a clean official reputation for himself by fighting corruption.

When he served as the Foreign Minister of the Soviet Union, he was among the group of people who most supported the new thinking of map brains. During this period, the Soviet Union actually implemented its own non-intervention policy, allowing the West to come in and out of Eastern Europe, and engaged in peaceful evolution.

.When the ruling parties in Eastern Europe relied on the Soviet Union to take tough measures to fight back against Western infiltration in order to suppress the democratization movement sweeping Eastern Europe, he actually refused to intervene on behalf of the Soviet Union, which ultimately led to the discoloration of Eastern Europe. His words are often mentioned

His famous quote is: "We should now realize that socialism, goodwill, neighborly relations and mutual respect cannot be achieved with bayonets, tanks and blood."

This lunatic guy was eventually downed due to corruption while in office, and maintained power through electoral fraud. It is really amazing to think that he rose to the top because of his anti-corruption and was praised by Western observers for promoting democratization.

An extremely ironic thing.

The Vietnamese still could not fully understand what the Soviet Union would become in the future, but they still caught the cold attitude of the Soviet Foreign Minister. Just when the Vietnamese were disappointed and desperate, someone rescued them.

This person is Kordunov, the current commander of the Soviet Home Defense Air Force. People like Map Head and Shevardnadze don’t care about guns and blood and focus on reform. This man came from the Patriotic War.

Air force combat heroes always maintain a fighting mentality.

Since Chinese fighter jets repeatedly shot down Vietnamese Soviet-made fighter jets, and the Chinese-made FC-1 repeatedly shot down Iraqi Soviet-made fighter jets during the Iran-Iraq war, the commander of the Homeland Defense Air Force has become concerned about the situation of the Chinese Air Force.

Just out of curiosity. However, due to the long-term feud with China and the large racial gap between the two countries, it is difficult to carry out intelligence work. Regarding China's new fighters, including the FC-1, as well as the fighter-bomber Flying Leopard that the outside world has learned about, and even

There are rumors that China has a medium-sized advanced air superiority fighter for its own use. He wants to know the difference between these fighters and the Soviet Union's current main MiG-29, MiG-31 and Su-27.

In fact, the news about the J-10 did not come from the Vietnamese at all, but from the Pakistanis and Iranians. The Iranians have never seen the J-10, but they have heard that the FC-1 is a version of the Chinese version for their own use.

The product of research and development of fighter aircraft technology, the Pakistan Air Force has watched the flight of the J-10 at close range, but was warned not to disclose it to the outside world.

As for the Vietnamese, it was even more miserable. They had several air battles with the PLA Air Force Rabbit. Whenever the J-10 took action, none of their fighters could escape. During the air battle, the Electric Flying Leopard, which was a guest electronic attack aircraft, interfered with the Vietnamese.

Communication means that they in the rear cannot hear what the downed pilot said. Even if the pilot was shot down in his own country, he was inexplicably abducted by the Chinese special forces. Therefore, the Vietnamese themselves are not sure, except for the pilot.

Besides the Leopard, does China have a second fighter jet?

Kordunov is not very interested in supporting the Vietnamese, but he is very interested in understanding the level of Chinese fighter jets. Although the contradiction between China and the Soviet Union is not so structural, it is equally acute. If China has the ability to suppress Soviet fighter jets

, would be absolutely unacceptable and dangerous for the Soviet Union.

As a result, the Air Marshal single-handedly pushed the Soviet Union to lease four MiG-25 fighter jets to Vietnam.

The MiG-25 was developed in the early 1960s, mainly to deal with the XB-70 bomber and SR-71 "Blackbird" high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft that the United States was developing at the time. Both aircraft's speeds exceeded Mach 3, and their

The limit is relatively high. Ordinary interceptors such as the MiG-21, although they claim to be high-altitude and high-speed, are still unable to compete with these fighters.

In order to be able to intercept these high-altitude and high-speed American reconnaissance aircraft and bombers, the Soviets developed this aircraft with a speed of Mach 3 and an altitude of 30,000 meters. The interceptor model MiG-25P and the reconnaissance model MiG-25R are mainly in service. In order to

To be able to achieve such a high flight speed, this aircraft has put a lot of thought into aerodynamics: it uses a medium swept upper monoplane with a sweep angle of 42°, a dihedral angle of 5°, a relative thickness of 4%, and an aspect ratio of 3.2.

The wing area is 61.9 square meters. The rectangular binary air inlet is adjusted with horizontal adjustment inclined plates, so air intake is from both sides. In order to ensure the heading stability, double vertical tail and tail pelvic fins are used, and later the vertical tail and pelvic fins are modified.

A little smaller.

Once the MiG-25 came out, it greatly shocked the West. The West once believed that the Soviet aviation industry had reached an extremely high level. The MiG-25 set 16 world flight records from 1965 to 1973, demonstrating a double triple (Mach 3

\/30,000 meters) super performance. It was not until 1976 when a Soviet pilot Belenko defected to Japan in a MiG-25 that the West breathed a sigh of relief. It did not use any extremely high-tech materials.

It is an aircraft made of 70% stainless steel. There are still many backward electronic tubes in the avionics, and the problem of flight stability has not been solved. The interceptor model MiG-25P cannot fly over Mach 3 like the MiG-25R, and generally

At its maximum speed of Mach 2.8, the weapons it carries will tremble.

But even so, the Americans admitted that by putting together such a bunch of backward things, they were able to create a fighter jet that repeatedly set records and had many achievements. The Soviets' system integration capabilities are worthy of recognition. Later.

There is also a management term called the "Mig-25 effect", which means using bad parts to make relatively good things.

Although the Soviet Homeland Defense Force now has its own MiG-29 and MiG-31, the MiG-25 is still a fairly advanced fighter. The Soviet Union would never actively assist such a high-performance fighter before it offered assistance.

, it cannot be exchanged without real money and silver.

Now in order to find out the level of Chinese fighter jets, the Soviet Union not only leased four MiG-25s from Vietnam with loans, but also sent Soviet pilots to fly them in combat. The actual idea is self-evident, that is, it hopes to let the Soviet Union itself

Pilots who want to compete with Chinese people can get first-hand information.

During this period, the Soviet Union still had very close contacts with Vietnam. The Pacific Fleet was stationed in Cam Ranh Bay, and it was relatively easy to transport things to Vietnam. Four MiG-25s departed from Vladivostok and were sent to cargo ships to take the sea route along the coast of China.

Sent to Haiphong Port in Vietnam.

As a pilot, the Soviet Air Force officer who commanded these four fighter jets at the same time was named Malenkov. He was a soldier of short stature but with a good temper.

"Damn it, the weather here is too hot. If it weren't for the mission assigned by the superiors, I wouldn't want to come and stay here!" Malenkov complained arrogantly to the Vietnamese foreign affairs personnel responsible for receiving him.

Vietnamese foreign affairs personnel must take good care of these uncles who fight for themselves. Even if they treat them as grandsons, they must pretend to be more like them.

"Hey, do you have any vodka here? The stronger, the better!" Malenkov put his arms around his comrades and said to the Vietnamese.

The Vietnamese foreign affairs officer was sweating profusely and said: "We don't have vodka here..."

"What? Aren't our Soviet Red Army stationed here? How could there be no vodka? Are you trying to embarrass us as martyrs who support you in fighting the Chinese?" Malenkov took off his hat.

"Uh, no, no, your comrades are all in Cam Ranh Bay. This is Haiphong..."

"I don't care where you are, if you don't have vodka, go to another bar!"

"Okay, okay, our Vietnamese rice wine is very fragrant, you will definitely like it."

One of Malenkov's comrades laughed and said to Malenkov: "Colonel, it's boring to have too much wine. Maybe we should find some beautiful girls to dance for us."

Malenkov laughed loudly, pointed at the foreign affairs officer and said: "Did you hear that, comrades in Vietnam, we combatants need to maintain combat effectiveness and need mental and physical pleasure. I think for your victory against the Chinese, don't you

I would refuse such a reasonable request."

The foreign affairs officer was unhappy, but he had no choice but to deal with it: "Okay, okay, I'll report to my superiors and make arrangements for a few comrades..."

Seeing the hunched-up yellow-skinned monkey retreating, Malenkov couldn't help but laugh with his comrades: "They are just slaves in our 'colony', which means they can provide us with some food and women. We still have to deal with things like fighting."
