Red Soviet Union

Exporting fighter jets to China is only the first step to ease relations with China. After successfully exporting fighter jets to China, other economic, military and political exchanges between China and the Soviet Union have begun in an orderly manner. Even the end of the military confrontation on the border between the two countries and the reduction in the number of border guards made both countries breathe a sigh of relief.

And all the changes started with this arms sale, and the most critical step in this arms sale was the Soviet Union's initiative to make concessions. It didn't scare away the Huaxia delegation with high prices, and it didn't propose any inconvenience. The practical political requirements seem to have returned to the era of the big brother of the Soviet Union in the 1960s, and kindly gave China the greatest support.

Why did the Soviets have such a big change? I am afraid that only the parties involved can know the inside story, and as a personal experience, the later general secretary of the Soviet Union, Andrei, was even more impressed by this.

Although the Huaxia delegation was not knocked down at the wine table, the Soviet Union was still quite cautious in exporting the advanced twin-engine MiG-23. At noon on the second day of drinking, the Huaxia delegation was called to discuss specific details. At that time, there was a new message from the KGB.

The United States was very annoyed when they learned that the Huaxia delegation was visiting the MiG-23 fighter jet in the Soviet Union and had the intention to order this advanced fighter jet. Huaxia's strategy is related to the overall layout of the United States in the Far East. After losing the island country, the United States is in the Far East, and only Huaxia is left to win over!

The Americans have carefully analyzed the reasons why the Huaxia government is not interested in the big arsenal plan. Obviously, Huaxia still has a historical plot, and does not want to be hostile to the Soviet Union, let alone be the bridgehead for the United States to contain the Soviet Union! After the Soviets threw out the olive branch, China was obviously more inclined to the Soviet Union!

Must be saved! The United States attaches great importance to the role of Huaxia. Since Huaxia has no interest in the big arsenal plan and just wants to buy weapons to improve their combat effectiveness, then the United States simply provides weapons to Huaxia!

As long as Huaxia uses American-made weapons, it will naturally be more inclined to the United States after that! As a result, the United States began to formulate new plans, and the castrated version of the F-16J79 is no longer available. The most advanced F-16 and even the F-15 can be provided to China! And, at the most affordable price! How affordable is it? Exactly the same as the purchase price of the US Air Force! Moreover, if Huaxia has no funds, the United States can also provide interest-free loans to Huaxia for free!

In short, Huaxia cannot be allowed to purchase fighter jets from the Soviet Union!

It's just that this plan needs to be discussed by Congress, and it will take a certain amount of time. The American system is democratic, not one person has the final say! In this way, in the democratic discussion, the United States lost the last chance. When their policy was finalized and prepared to be presented to the Chinese side, the procurement plan for the MiG-23KM had already arrived! The first batch of Huaxia Air Force pilots have gone to Moscow for training!

Compared to the United States,

The Soviet policy was formulated more quickly. After obtaining the plan from the United States, the Soviet immediately made a decision to provide China with fighter jets at the cost price. Even at the cost price, an F-15 is about 30 million US dollars. And the MiG-23 is only 12 million rubles, and the cost advantage is still obvious.

There is good news from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in the island country. Our advanced radar development plan, which is to imitate the American APG-67 radar, has made great progress. We have conquered the processing technology of flat slot radar antenna. The post-processing system has also been debugged, and the rest is mainly software optimization. In the Kremlin, Andrei finally fulfilled his responsibilities as the deputy commander of the Far East Military Region.

What makes Andre most happy is naturally the breakthrough in airborne radar! In modern air combat, airborne radar has been greatly related to the success or failure of combat! In this regard, the Soviet Union has always fallen behind. After owning the industry of the island country, all the problems have been solved!

Using the advanced electronic industry of the island country to greatly improve our electronic level can make the informatization and digital construction of our army faster. For now, after the success of this airborne radar, our fourth-generation aircraft G-29 and Su-27 will be equipped with these advanced radar equipment to improve combat capability. Ustinov also said with great satisfaction.

Moreover, our existing fighters can also be improved by using these technologies. This is the case with the MiG-23. If a new type of radar is installed, the combat effectiveness will reach a new level. Andre said: Although We provided China with the MiG-23 at a very low price, and we can still make a profit with subsequent upgrades and maintenance.

In addition to the MiG-23, as well as the MiG-25, a new radar can bring about a great improvement in air combat performance! In addition to these, there is more good news, such as it is said that the TR component of the active phased array has also made great progress!

Yeah, our arms sales to China have been very successful, and the United States has tasted the pain of failure. Andropov said with a smile: Andrei, this time you have made great contributions. The situation in the Far East is temporary. It will remain calm, but the world has always been unstable. Now, the situation in Iran and Afghanistan is very unstable. We need a capable cadre to go to the Turkestan Military Region. How about it, Andrei, are you willing? Are you going there to be the commander of the military district?

Turkestan Military District? Become a military commander yourself? Then you are the youngest commander of the military district in Soviet history, right? Andre's mood at this time can be said to be indescribable.

The great Soviet has many excellent generals and marshals, and being able to stand out from the crowd is not only the advantage of the traversers, but also the promotion of Andropov and Ustinov. Relationship. And now, as he accumulates more and more credits, his position in the army will become stronger and stronger. However, he is just like a firefighting captain, where is the most complicated, he will be sent wherever he goes!

Iran and Afghanistan are like sitting on active volcanoes at this time, and they will erupt at any time. It is now the second half of 1978. In 1979, Iran's theocracy will begin. Afghanistan, historically It was also occupied by Soviet soldiers.

Now, to solve these extremely difficult problems on your own? He really became a firefighting captain! (To be continued.) To find this site, please search for or enter the URL:
