537 The brains of Iran's military industrial talents and the channels for obtaining F14
The cost of producing these missiles is not clear even to the military, and not many people in the base are clear.
Liu Yijiu can say whatever he wants.
If the value is shown on the battlefield, then the price of these missiles will naturally have to increase accordingly.
Originally, Liu Yijiu was going to sell it for $100,000 a piece, but now that the Iranians are desperate to get it, they will naturally raise the price accordingly.
A MiG-23 fighter, the price is not old or young, hundreds of thousands of dollars to scrap one of their fighters, or even more than 100,000 to scrap one, it is definitely worth it. What's more, these missiles are mounted on the Ryonui tank, which is completely equipped with wings for the Ryonoyi.
On the battlefield, there is no fear of bombardment from the air at all.
Of course, if you are accurately attacked by the opponent's powerful ballistic missiles with stronger performance and higher combat effectiveness, there is no way.
"So, the price couldn't be less. However, we can add an anti-aircraft module to the newly produced tank. And on the armored car, the anti-armor module is ...... installed," Liu Yijiu said very clearly, the price is like this, there is no need to talk about it.
Love or not.
"Director Liu, armored vehicles are originally meant to transport infantry, so there's no need to add these...... Canon said with a frown.
He didn't believe that these missiles were so expensive.
"So, how many tanks are you going to have anti-armor modules on them this time? It is not possible to install such an anti-aircraft module on the armored car, after all, the armored car does not have an advanced fire control system, and there is no computer. Liu Yijiu knew what they wanted to do.
It is not appropriate to install an anti-aircraft missile module on an armored vehicle, especially an emergency armored vehicle of the 63 modification without a computer.
The power of these armored vehicles is not great, but the defense capability has improved a lot.
The Iranians' ability to brush up on machines is quite strong, and their engineers definitely work harder than many countries in terms of weaponry. F14 with Hawker is not counted. Later, the R-27 was used, and even the F-4 was hung with C801 anti-ship missiles, and the Mirage F1 was attached with Thunderbolt 7, etc., and so on.
Liu Yijiu did not believe that the Iranians now had no idea of loading the 500 Black Arrow-2s they had purchased into their old planes or armored vehicles. They will even put Hou Yi as an air-to-air missile on a fighter jet. By that time, the firing range of more than eight thousand meters. With a speed of more than Mach 1.8, it may not be a problem to use against various Iraqi warplanes.
"Fifty sets, how long will it take?" Samnila asked, frowning.
"Half a year." Liu Yijiu said without thinking about it, "This missile is a new type of missile, the production of the guidance part is very difficult, the production process is very complicated, and even the computer chip is the most advanced chip we produce under laboratory conditions." Mass production is not possible, and the scrap rate is high. Otherwise, the guidance system of the Black Arrow-2? This way, the speed is faster, and at the same time, the price can be reduced by $10,000......"
"No, we're going to want missiles like that. Director Liu, if delivered within three months. Can there be a way? We only need twenty sets of anti-aircraft modules to be added to the tank, and the remaining thirty sets. We hope to be able to purchase the same number of missiles for replenishment of combat attrition......"
"Are you going to use these missiles on warplanes?" Liu Yijiu was speechless for a moment.
He was still thinking about this at first, but he didn't expect the other party to tell him like this.
The people of the "......" Iran, after hearing the words of the interpreter, did not say anything.
It's already obvious.
"These missiles are intended for ground air defense, if mounted on fighters. If it becomes an air-to-air missile, its performance will be greatly reduced. Liu Yijiu admires the brains of the Iranians.
F14 Panda, they bought dozens of F14 Panda fighters from the United States, and now there is still a batch that has not been delivered, according to estimates. The Iranian Air Force is estimated to have only about 50 of them, and more than 400 AIM-54 Immortal long-range air-to-air missiles are estimated to have not been delivered.
Iraq has been bombing Tehran since the beginning of the war, and it is estimated that a lot of these missiles have been consumed.
It is also normal to see the new anti-aircraft missiles provided by the Chinese, and are preparing to transform the Hawker surface-to-air missiles purchased from the United States into air-to-air missiles for F14 use, and to modify the anti-aircraft missiles from China.
What makes Liu Yijiu curious is that the Iranians have already started now?
It seems normal to think about it, after all, the entire Iranian army has been purged, except for the air force, which has not been affected in any way. Khomeini even said that the Air Force is loyal to Iran. The various relevant departments of the Air Force are not disorderly, and it is understandable to say that.
"I want two F14s, and carry immortal bird missiles, and within a year, I can provide you with imitation missiles of the same type, only more advanced in performance; Within three years, we can provide F14 related spare parts, and within five years, we can provide the whole machine! Liu Yijiu suddenly remembered the F14 in Iran's hands.
The last time I asked the Americans to get their F14, the Americans refused.
And the person in front of him, who happens to have F14, is still able to call the shots.
The Americans in order to support the Pahlavi dynasty in Iran, although this also had the F14 design when it was almost bankrupt due to financial problems, it was the funds from Iran that saved the world's first heavy fighter that could make a Cobra maneuver in the air, anyway, Iran is the only country that exports the American F14.
It's not much worse than even what the United States uses itself.
replaced some avionics systems, and at the same time changed the engine of the F14 into TF-30-414, both of which Liu Yijiu lacked. His plan is to combine the Panda F14 with Lao Maozi's MiG-25! At that time, both prototypes will be in front of the designers of the 611 Institute, and if they can't get the whole machine within five years, there will be no need to continue to stay in the Ninth Academy to study the sequence.
"It can't be!"
Samnira jumped to her feet.
That's the most advanced fighter in their country, and the most advanced fighter in the world, against the Soviet MiG-25!
But what Liu Yijiu proposed really made them very excited.
The Pahlavi dynasty ordered eighty of them, and the United States ended up delivering only sixty-two, ten years of spare parts. Most of them were not delivered. Even the AIM-54 Immortal Bird missile, they don't have too many in stock.
There are less than a hundred left.
"Rest assured, we can exchange fighter jets. Our country's most advanced J-8I, two for one, you don't suffer...... "Liu Yijiu knows, reluctant to let the child trap the wolf.
It is far cheaper to get the F14 from Iran than from the Americans.
And. It can also help sell the domestically produced J-8 fighter, although this fighter is improved from the J-7, but its combat effectiveness is much more advanced than the J-7, which was not modified in cooperation with the Germans. If the cooperation with the Germans is completed and the J-7B is already owned, Liu Yijiu will not hesitate to exchange the J-7 for the Panda.
Such a plan, no one in the entire Ministry of Defense will refuse.
Panda F14, it's so attractive!
"Mr. Canon, you know our strength, our technology. Our research team, you all know it! When the time comes, even the Soviet MiG-25, we will be able to supply you. Liu Yijiu smiled faintly.
"Liu, it's not that we don't believe in your strength, but your proposal is really shocking." Canon's eyes widened.
The Chinese have Soviet MiG-25 fighters in their hands?
"You don't believe we have the production capacity of the MiG-25, do you? After all, all the fighters in our country are MiG-21s imported from the USSR in the fifties. It's not your fault. If you want, I can show you the MiG-25 in our hands right now! "In order to get the F14 from the Iranians. Liu Yijiu has made a bloody investment now.
MiG-25P, but it took a lot of hardship to steal it back.
Now it is often at the Taiping Temple military airfield in Rongcheng. And the backfire bomber that was originally stolen back, in order to avoid being known by other countries, has been hiding in the Phoenix Mountain Military Airport in Rongcheng, and now it is Qin Fei's or Rongfei 132 Factory. There are people who draw graphics and study in the two military airfields.
THE TU-22 BACKFIRE WILL NEVER TELL ANYONE, NOT EVEN IN THE COUNTRY.
And the MiG-25P, the Americans have also seen it.
"Is there really a MiG-25?" Samnyla asked incredulously.
"Li Rui, inform the people at the hotel to prepare the car, and we will go to the Taipingsi Airport immediately. Call the people of the Air Force Sixth Station General Plant and get ready for reception! Liu Yijiu immediately smiled and said to her assistant Li Rui.
Li Rui nodded.
Liu Yijiu's thoughts, she couldn't understand, although she was still angry at the dirty things between Liu Yijiu and Situ Xue, but at work, she would work hard to do it well.
Soon, the car was ready, because the whereabouts of the other party needed to be kept secret, and he was also the minister of a country, the reception staff specially borrowed a red flag from the Sichuan and Shu provincial governments. This is a state guest car, and Liu Yijiu is not qualified to sit in the car.
"During the Sino-Vietnamese War in 79, in order to help the Vietnamese, the Soviets provided them with a batch of MiG-25s, which were piloted by Soviet pilots to help them fight, and in the end, we stole two of them back, and the rest were all blown up......" Liu Yijiu was on the road, constantly introducing the source of the MiG-25 to the two people.
It was originally just a sudden idea, but the more I thought about it, the more possible it became.
It is impossible for the Iranians to get any more fighter jets from the Americans, and the relevant spare parts are unlikely to appear again. Although later, in order to solve the time of the hostage crisis, the Americans were ready to exchange F14-related spare parts of an aircraft for their hostages while supplying weapons to Iraq, but in the end they did not succeed.
If Iran wants to get spare parts, only China.
"Your country has dozens of F14s, and any damage will cause an aircraft to be absent because you don't have enough spare parts. That is, with one, there will be one less. With our spare parts, all of your aircraft will not be non-combat-damaged, and you will be able to equip more. After all, the Pahlavi dynasty also ordered 160 F16s, and the Americans did not deliver a single one...... "
Along the way, Liu Yijiu chattered.
What he didn't know was that his offer made Samney pull his heart.
There was no answer, no opinion was given, and not because of anything else, China itself did not have advanced fighters.
Without a perfect match, just a prototype is not enough.
The urban area of Rongcheng was not large in this era, and the largest city in the southwest had no momentum at all, no high-rise buildings, no wide roads, no endless flow of vehicles and more people than ants.
Taipingsi Airport, in the southern suburbs of Rongcheng, is only a few kilometers away from the city center by road. Close to the road to Shuangliu Airport.
The Hongqi sedan is much stronger than the 212, not only smooth, but also more comfortable.
Turn into it from an inconspicuous path next to Shiyangchang, and not far away, you will see soldiers with muskets standing guard.
checked the military ID cards of Liu Yijiu and Li Rui, and saw that there was a 212 jeep behind the car with several bodyguards in tunics sitting on it, and the sentry directly let them go.
"This is the Air Force Aviation Fourth Station Equipment General Factory, and not far in front of it is the Taipingsi Military Airport, which currently belongs to the ......Ninth Academy," Liu Yijiu said, introducing this factory, which was originally only used for the maintenance of Air Force equipment.
This factory, along with the Taipingsi Airport, has been owned for decades, and was built during the Anti-Japanese War, and was stationed in the Flying Tigers of the US Army.
On both sides of the narrow road, there are a large number of low-rise bungalows, all of which are residential areas for the families of the four station factories.
The car turned left on the road next to the four station factories, and drove for more than ten minutes, only to see a huge lawn, all of which were fenced with barbed wire outside, and at the entrance, there were several military guards with muskets and live ammunition, much stricter than the guards at the intersection outside, wearing blue air force uniforms, next to this, there was an air defense battalion, and at the same time there was a radar station, and an air force ground service regiment was stationed.
"Documents, letters of introduction!" On duty is a cadre with four pockets, and depending on the situation, he should be a platoon commander.
"Zhu Houdao came out to pick us up." Li Rui replied coldly.
They didn't break inside, this side was abandoned, but now it's being used again. Because the Backfire used to be parked here, a squadron of fighters was stationed, and then two MiG-25s were parked in the hangar, and technicians from the 132 factory, the 611 institute and Shen Fei and other units were here.
The road is not the entrance to the airport, but the passage for the researchers.
"Director Liu, why are you here?" Soon, Zhu Houdao appeared at the door of the passage and told the guards on duty that this was the leader of the 611 higher-level department, and registered Liu Yijiu's military ID before he was released.
"It's really a MiG-25!" When the car entered the hardened runway directly from the lawn outside the airport, and saw two fighter jets with pointed heads parked in the huge brand new hangar, much larger than the Chinese Jian-7, Canon immediately exclaimed. (To be continued......)
PS: The monthly pass is simply not powerful. If there are fewer tomorrow, there will only be two watches......
