Ustinov couldn't bear it anymore. He discussed with KGB head Victor, Foreign Minister Gromyko, Chairman of the Council of Ministers Nikolai, secretary of zhōngyāng (not general secretary) Gorbachev and others, whether it is necessary to severely Teach the Iraqis a lesson and let them know where they went astray.

In other words, continue to implement the original plan, inform Tehran zhèngfǔ that they will help manage the security of eastern Iran, and then quickly launch an offensive to take eastern Iran. It's just that Tehran's current attitude may not agree with the Soviet Union at all. According to the plan, as long as the Soviet Union sends troops, it will inevitably have a frontal battle with them.

The results of the meeting made Ustinov very disappointed. Except for Viktor who agreed with his action, the other two people did not express their opinions, but had to wait for the general secretary's personal decision. Gorbachev said Even more ingeniously, he cited some data, the current total income of the Soviet Union, expenditure on national defense, and consumption on the battlefield in Afghanistan. These data made Ustinov lose his temper, as Gorbachev said, The most important thing for the Soviet army to attack eastern Iran is to avoid the quagmire of a war like Afghanistan. Otherwise, the Soviet Union really cannot support two wars at the same time.Or, give up the battlefield in Afghanistan and try to win eastern Iran with all your strength.

Hearing Gorbachev's words, Ustinov felt very suffocated. The military is thinking about the future of the Soviet Union, but this guy keeps saying that the Soviet Union has no money and can't fight?When the German army besieged Moscow, citizens only had half a slice of bread a day. Didn’t they still support the frontline fighting?There like now, these no vision guys!

It is even more impossible to abandon the Afghan battlefield before the Iranian battlefield has begun.

The support of the general secretary must be obtained!Ustinov decided that the next time he visited the General Secretary, he must get an affirmative answer from him!

At the same time, Ustinov ordered the two MiG-29 squadrons that had arrived in Turkmenistan to cross the border to test the response of the Iraqi Air Force.

June 1984, 2.

In the sky of Central Asia, a rare sunny day appeared, and the blue sky was cloudless.

In Turkmenistan's air force base, a twin-engine and double-vertical-tail aircraft with integrated wings and body is preparing for takeoff on the simple runway at the front line.

Under the wings, there are two medium-range air-to-air missiles and short-range air-to-air missiles. At this time, the two rectangular air intakes in front of the belly have been closed, and the auxiliary air intakes on the top of the air intakes have been fully opened. It is also a special means for this front-line fighter to prevent inhalation of debris on the rough runway.

With the flames ejected from the tail, the MiG-29 nimbly rose from the runway and flew into the sky.On the huge vertical tail, the red star was shining in the sun.

Today, they are going to perform a special mission: fly over the border between Iran and Turkmenistan, enter Iranian airspace, and test the response of the Iraqi Air Force.

Although they knew that the Iraqi Air Force had also transferred the pre-warning aircraft they regarded as their treasure, the Soviet Air Force had a very low opinion of the performance of this kind of pre-warning aircraft that the British Air Force itself did not equip.

In particular, this kind of early warning aircraft did not adopt the common form of Soviet and American early warning aircraft, placing a disc-shaped radar antenna above the fuselage to achieve all-round detection, but arranged The two radomes are the same as big bags, and the inside is just an airborne radar of a fighter jet with increased power. It has a detection range of up to 200 kilometers. Now that plane is flying in the Kaweier salt desert, it can only monitor Huluo at most. In the central area of ​​Shanshan, on the border, they can't take care of it.

What's more, they will lower their altitude, enter Iran's airspace from the Hindu Kush Mountains, and enter the no-fly zone declared by Tehran to test the response of the Iraqi Air Force.

They felt that this time it would be very smooth, because the tall mountains would drown their signals in the echoes of the radar. Iraqi fighter planes and Iraqi early warning planes would not be able to effectively detect them at all. They are very experienced Yes, because their Soviet Union's most powerful MiG-29 fighter jet, the latest Soviet Union's N-019 pulse Doppler radar, cannot effectively detect low-altitude aircraft flying in such complex terrain.

Chapter 573 The Soviet planes must also be shot down!

The Soviet Air Force dispatched their latest third-generation aircraft MiG-29, and adopted an ultra-low-altitude flight method, hoping to avoid the monitoring of the Iraqi early warning aircraft and test their reaction.

They don't know that although their fighter jets have an excellent aerodynamic layout, although they meet the needs of mass production during wartime, and although their electronic equipment can withstand the impact of electromagnetic waves from nuclear explosions, the radars that use a large number of electronic tubes make their electronic equipment equipment, heat is high, and radar has an astonishingly low mean time between failures.

Moreover, the radar of this latest Soviet fighter jet also has a pulse Doppler physique, but it only has a limited ability to detect low-altitude targets on the ground, and they think that the Western countries are the same as theirs, or even worse than theirs .

Therefore, the MiG-29 fighter jets boldly entered northeastern Iran from low altitudes. They often invade Pakistan's airspace in this way in Afghanistan. Even if Pakistan has been equipped with F-16 fighter jets, they are fearless.

So, they are very relieved.

It's a pity that they didn't know that before they reached the border, they had already been spotted by the hunter's early warning machine.

In order to take care of the not-so-powerful electronic computer to process the data, the hunter-warning machine ignores the low-speed targets in the low altitude. However, no matter how the MiG-29 flies, it will not be lower than 300. The radar of the aircraft has keenly discovered that the two Turkmenistan aircraft tend to move towards the border. Therefore, the two Mirage 4000 fighters patrolling in the air have already begun to fly in that direction.

At the same time, the pre-warning plane began to transmit the news to the rear. The behavior of the Soviets this time was very suspicious. Although His Excellency Qusay ordered that no matter where the planes flew into this airspace, they would be shot down, but they were still very suspicious. Honestly return upwards.

Because, after all, it was the Soviet Union, the mighty Red Empire!

It takes time to pass backwards. The Iraqi Air Force is flying towards the north fearlessly, and Sky Falcon Reyel is a little excited.

Emotionally, Reyer has a good impression of the Soviet Union. Before he flew the Mirage 4000, he had been flying the MiG-25. In the MiG-25 air force base, there were many Soviet instructors. Reyer’s Many tactics, such as the snake-like maneuver to avoid the opponent's radar, were taught by Soviet instructors. Up to now, most of the Soviets in the base have returned to China, and only a few Soviets are still there.

However, soldiers are bound to obey orders, and Iraq's interests always come first. What's more, Reyer knows that this time the Soviet Union wants to invade eastern Iran like it invaded Afghanistan, which they absolutely do not allow!To stop the expansion of the Soviet Union, Iraq will never retreat!

Because it was re-flyed from the MiG-25, Reyer deeply knew the difference between his own fighter jets and Soviet aircraft. The Soviet aircraft was durable, but the electronic equipment was backward, and the MiG-25’s radar was amazing. He prefers the current fighters, no longer pays attention to high altitude and high speed, but has better maneuverability. The electronic equipment is very advanced. They have installed a data link to receive the early warning. The transmitted data can also receive the radar scanning data of other fighters of our own side, and we turn off the radar and approach the opponent silently. From this point of view, our fighters are far superior to the fighters made by the Soviet Union. .

Reyel, who has integrated with Mirage 4000, has great confidence in the fighter he is driving.

The radar operator of the early warning plane looked at the two light spots very nervously. Finally, they crossed the border and continued to fly deep to the east of Khorasan.

After receiving the report, Qusay was looking at the report submitted by Minister of Trade Muhammad in the Palace of the Republic. He had reached an agreement with Steyr to introduce 91 Steyr [-] series trucks from the other party in advance. Then, Steyr The company will help Iraq transform an Iraqi Soviet-aided auto overhaul factory in Baghdad, so that Iraq has the ability to produce such heavy-duty trucks, with an estimated annual output of [-] vehicles.Because most of the processing technology of Steyr cars is done with ordinary machinery and equipment, in this case, a lot of foreign exchange can be saved for Iraq.The Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks from Germany first introduced [-] vehicles, and then established a new heavy-duty truck production line in the north of Baghdad. Compared with Steyr’s ordinary chassis, the variable-section beams of Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks require special hydraulic machines. Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks also have many unique processing techniques, which require the introduction of new equipment. After the establishment of supporting production lines, an initial annual production capacity of [-] vehicles will be formed. Moreover, with the development of Iraq, their production capacity will gradually increase.

At the same time, Steyr will help coordinate Austrian geological survey personnel, help Iraq find mineral deposits in the Iranian plateau, and build metal smelting plants in suitable places.Austria's mountainous terrain is very similar to the Iranian plateau.

And Mercedes-Benz Motors will help Iraqi technicians develop two types of wheels suitable for use in the Middle East on the basis of the Mercedes-Benz NG-806*6 and 8*8 off-road heavy truck chassis after the Iraqi production line production capacity is officially stabilized. Type armored vehicle chassis, on this basis, formed the Iraqi wheeled armored vehicle family.

In fact, Mercedes-Benz has been involved in the development of wheeled armored vehicles as early as more than ten years ago. In 1965, the German Joint Development Agency and Daimler-Benz each developed nine 9×8 amphibious reconnaissance vehicles, and they were released in 8. In April and December, it was delivered to the Trier Experimental Base for trials.After two years of comprehensive testing, in 1968 the German Ministry of Defense decided to adopt Mercedes-Benz products. The first batch of products was completed in May 4 and delivered to the Federal German Army in September 12.However, this batch of products was discontinued in early 1971.

The structure is complicated and the price is expensive. This is a failed attempt by Mercedes-Benz.Therefore, Mercedes-Benz has this opportunity. With the continuous emergence of new technologies in recent years, it hopes to come up with a more suitable wheeled armored vehicle. What's more, Iraq is sharing the investment!

Qusay was very satisfied with Muhammad's report. Although there was oil underground in Iraq, Qusay still liked this way of saving money and getting things done for Iraq.

After signing Muhammad's report, Qusay received a report forwarded by Tehran. In northern Iran, the Soviet fighter plane finally crossed the border!They are challenging the no-fly zone in Iraq!

After receiving the report, Qusay glanced at the calendar on the table: Today is already February 2th. At this time, the Soviets still have the time to do these things?

Now that they are here, let's show Iraq's strong will to maintain the security of Iran's airspace. Anyone who dares to challenge the no-fly zone will be attacked indiscriminately!

Qusay personally issued an order to the front line. After learning that the Soviet Union had invaded the airspace, His Excellency Qusay was able to maintain such a strong will that everyone felt that their spines straightened immediately, and they stood up for themselves. Proud to be Iraqi!

Only Qusay knows how important it is to be prepared to grasp the pulse of history!

At this time, Reyer on the front line, and his wingman, were quickly approaching the two MiG planes rushing in from low altitude. Although he didn't turn on the radar, the early warning plane had told him that the Soviet plane was just in the distance. He was directly ahead of him at a distance of eighty kilometers.The planes of the Soviets are still playing the trick of hiding themselves at low altitudes, but they are about to leave the mountain soon.

Although the Soviets' low-altitude aircraft were for concealment, they also had a very important flaw: they could not obtain a very important thing in air combat: altitude and speed!

Reyel has already turned on the switch of the fire control system. Under the wing, a Super Matra 530 missile is ready to launch at any time after receiving the data from the carrier aircraft.

"Turn on the radar and prepare to lock on the target." Reyel and the wingman said.

At this time, what Reyel did not expect was that the two MiG planes of the Soviets also turned on their radars at this time to scan the surrounding airspace.

They've been flying low, and now they're about to fly out of the mountains, so they want to scan the surrounding sky with radar to see if something is going on.

The radars of both sides were turned on almost at the same time. The MiG 29 was at low altitude, and the Mirage 4000 was at high altitude. Although the low-altitude performance of the radar is poor, it does not affect their ability to look up. The two sides discovered that the other party appeared on their own radar almost at the same time.

"Soviet planes were found at a distance of [-] and an altitude of [-]."

"Iraqi fighter planes were found at a distance of [-] and an altitude of [-]."

"Prepare to lock the target." The lead planes of both sides gave orders to their wingmen almost at the same time. They operated their own radars, and the fire control system began to work at full speed.

The pros and cons of the electronic system become very important at this time, because to allow the missile to lock on the target and obtain sufficient launch data, the fire control computer needs to calculate a large amount of data according to the parameters provided by the radar. In this regard, the MiG-29 Obviously a lot behind.

While the Ts29-100.02 fire control computer of the MiG-02 was still calculating the launch parameters required by the AA-10 advanced medium-range air-to-air missile, a flame flashed under the wings of the Mirage 4000 fighter, and a super horse The Terra 530 missile has already disengaged from the missile launcher and flew out.

Chapter 574 I'll do my best

In terms of performance, the performance of the R-82 Topol medium-range air-to-air missile, which was only in service in 27, is far better than that of the Super Matra 530 missile and the American Sparrow missile. Unfortunately, due to the backwardness of the carrier aircraft, This kind of missile has not had a chance to display itself, but the opponent has already launched the missile first.

At this time, the distance between the two sides has been close to 40 kilometers, which is almost at the limit range of the Super Matra. If the Soviet MiG turns around and flies away, it is very likely that the missile will not be able to reach it. However, as long as the opponent does not turn around and fly away Let's go, when flying head-on like this, the distance between them will be closer.

Reyel, who has rich combat experience, began to maintain a certain course and speed after the carrier aircraft launched the missile, and provided radar signals for the missile he launched in a regular manner, satisfying the semi-active radar guidance of this kind of missile needs.
