Soviet Union 1991

First update

After the previous international confrontation, Moscow finally began to show its muscles to the outside world. This Moscow arms exhibition was specially planned by Yanayev to promote the military industry to enter the international market. The Indian Ministry of Defense delegation was the most active in participating in this arms exhibition. After all, the Soviet army showed a good side in a series of operations.

However, the Indian delegation always forgets one thing, that is, the success of the Soviet Union lies in the perfect command and combat system, not the situation supported by weapons. Is it the same for the Soviet army and the Soviet armored division? Just look at the performance of the T72 tank being abused in the Gulf War. The steel torrent can only play a real advantage in the hands of the Soviets.

Moreover, this time the Soviet Union specially set up a special exhibition area for the Indian delegation, which was filled with special foreign trade versions, that is, things that are specially made to make money in front of the Indians, from aircraft to ships. It made the Indian delegation feel particularly noble when they arrived in Moscow. Of course, behind this particularly noble illusion is the entire Soviet military industry that is sharpening its knives. For them, the sucker who gave money has come.

In order to entertain the Indian delegation, even Defense Minister Comrade Yazov personally came to the battle. After all, this is another rich man besides Saudi Arabia.

"This is a Su-30MKI fighter specially developed for India, equipped with canards and advanced AL-31FP thrust vectoring engines. The AL-31FP engine nozzle can be adjusted up and down by 15 degrees, so that the Su-30MKI can perform many unconventional aerial maneuvers. Among the fighter jets currently in service in the world, only the US F-22A and the F-35 that has not yet been put into service have this capability. In addition, it can carry almost all Russian-made air-to-air missiles and air-to-ground missiles, including the TV-guided KH-59M long-range air-to-ground missiles, TV-guided KH-29T short-range air-to-ground missiles, KH-31A and KH-31P anti-ship and anti-radiation missiles. missiles, active radar-guided R-77 air-to-air missiles, etc. The total weight of the weapons on the 12 hanging points of the Su-30MKI can reach 8,000kg, which is twice that of the early Su-27. Equipped with a brand-new phased array radar and airborne fire control system, the Su-30MKI's combat skills in ground and sea combat are 24 times higher than those of the Su-27SK and Su-30K, and its effectiveness in competing for air supremacy and air defense is 14 times higher than that of the Su-27/30. "

The Soviet official brought the Indian Ministry of Defense delegation to introduce the newly designed money-making project of Sukhoi to them. In order to ensure that the Indian Ministry of Defense delegation would take the bait, the gimmick of the Indian special edition was specially added.

However, the streamlined figure of the Su-30MKI still won the unanimous favor of the delegation. As for the commentators, Moscow also specially selected those Mao girls with prominent figure curves to introduce this fighter to the Indians.

"It can also undertake the command task of small-formation operations. The rear-seat pilot can command and coordinate multiple standard Su-27 fighters through data links at the same time, and guide and instruct them to attack targets. This tactic of the Indian Air Force has been practiced and matured. With the powerful force of the Su-30MKI, the Indian Air Force is fully capable of achieving an overwhelming double advantage in quantity and performance in the confrontation with its arch-enemy, the Pakistani Air Force."

There is nothing more exciting than being able to fully suppress the Pakistani Air Force, not to mention that this fighter was specially developed for India.

"In addition, the aircraft is equipped with a new OEPS-30 optical radar with an anti-vibration receiver and a long-life cooling system installed with new digital software. It is produced by the Ural Optical Machinery Plant. The system can search, detect and track air targets based on the target's infrared radiation source. When the pilot visually observes the visible target, it is used to determine the visible target coordinates, measure the distance, and complete the task of aiming at air and ground targets. The infrared search and tracking system of OEPS-30 is used to autonomously search for air targets within the 60° azimuth and 12° elevation angle of view. In simple weather conditions and at mid-air, the target detection distance for the MiG-21 aircraft with the engine in the maximum working state is up to 60 kilometers. In the 3x3° area, the automatic interception distance is not less than 70% of the detection distance, and it can automatically track air targets within the range of the sighting line angle speed of 25 degrees per second. The photoelectric radar including the infrared detector and laser rangefinder and the anti-interference guidance equipment can guide the aircraft to the target in the command state according to the command of the ground command post. "It sounds like the Su-30MKI is far superior to the Su-27 fighter jets currently in service in India. Of course, this is Sukhoi's foreign trade version, so naturally all the seemingly advanced equipment is piled up. However, in fact, the most advanced may not be the most suitable, but the Indian delegation, who are stupid and rich, find it difficult to understand this truth. However, no matter how perfect the special design version is, it cannot withstand India's squandering. Historically, the Indian Air Force crashed a total of 14 Su-30MKI fighter jets from 2012 to 2015, which has already spent the budget of a Soviet flight squadron, causing a cumulative loss of 5.7442 billion rupees. However, the more planes crashed, the happier Sukhoi was, because they always had to buy this expensive fighter from the Soviet Union. After all, 70% of these accidents were caused by human factors, and only 30% were technical defects. So Sukhoi can confidently say that there is no problem with their fighter jets, and it is the Indian Air Force's own problem.

When visiting the arms sales, the Indian delegation had been exchanging opinions privately. Minister Yazov, who was accompanying them, could see from their expressions that these Indians were very satisfied with the Su-30MKI, both in terms of performance and appearance, and they hoped to see the test flight of the Su-30MKI.

Batendu Kumar Singh, an official of the Finance and Accounting Bureau of the Indian Ministry of Defense, who was also a member of the delegation, turned to Yazov and asked, "In addition to fighter jets, what other weapons can the Soviet Union show? We also want to see other ones."

"Excuse me, are you dissatisfied with the Su-30MKI?" Yazov said with a smile. Facing the stupid and rich Indians, he always showed great patience.

Singh said confidently, "Excuse me, Minister Yazov, this visit to the arms exhibition is not just to visit the exhibits. The Indian army needs to be upgraded in all aspects to occupy a favorable position in the future world pattern."

The implication is that India has plenty of money, so if there are any good goods, don't hide them, and bring them over quickly.

There is no way to deal with such a rich man who is stupid and has a lot of money. Yazov can only show all the good stuff.

"We have specially designed ships, tanks and fighter jets. What do the Indian delegation need?" Yazov said confidently.

Singh said this calmly, making Yazov feel like he had met a wealthy man in the Middle East.

"We want all of them." (~^~)
