Just when Qin Feng was in the capital, bargaining with the British, a major event in the territorial air defense suddenly came.

On the opposite side of the southwestern border of the motherland, the three countries of Afghanistan, Barreli Air Base.

Although it is called an air base, because it is located in a plateau area, it is not convenient to operate, and it is not easy to transport logistics materials, so the scale of the entire air base is not large, and only one air force squadron is deployed.

The 102nd Air Force Squadron is only equipped with 12 aircraft, and the main role of this squadron is to conduct reconnaissance flights.

In the past, there were not many missions here, because their equipment was mainly based on the old "Canberra" PRMk.57/67 reconnaissance aircraft, which were very poor in performance, and every reconnaissance was a huge risk, and they could only carry out reconnaissance activities by taking advantage of the gap in the defense of the opposite side.

Now it's different, and now, on the base, there are already several brand new aircraft.

Unlike previous aircraft, this aircraft is very huge, and it looks almost the same as a bomber, with a medium sweep on a single wing, air intake on both sides, and a twin-engine, double-tail layout, which already has the characteristics of a typical third-generation aircraft.

If nothing else, just look at the huge rectangular air intakes on the sides, which can even accommodate a person to get into, and inside, there is also a sprinkler-like thing, which is used to spray the solution and provide additional thrust to the engine.

As long as you are familiar with aviation knowledge, you will know that this aircraft is the famous MiG-25 in this era! The only fighter that achieves the goal of double and three.

The height is 30,000 meters, and the speed is Mach 3!

In that year, when this aircraft was first shown to foreign countries in the Soviet Union's military parade on Red Square, foreign countries were completely moved, and only the Americans' SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft could be compared with it, which was made of titanium alloy, and because of the limited performance of the airframe, it could only carry out reconnaissance flights, without the slightest air combat capability.

And this kind of plane, but it is an out-and-out fighter, and for a moment, it makes the West think that the Soviets have alien technology.

The West trembled for several years, and it was not until a few years ago that Belenko of the Soviet Far Eastern Military District defected and brought this huge reconnaissance plane to the West, and the Western world finally discovered that this artifact that shocked them was originally made of stainless steel.

Although the look of awe has diminished slightly, the plane is still a sharp weapon, especially since with the decryption, the Soviets have finally lifted its export ban and begun to export to their allies.

For the purpose of containing China, the Soviet Union has always armed the three countries, and this MiG-25 has naturally entered the sequence of the three countries.

Although it has two models, combat and reconnaissance, the three countries need reconnaissance planes the most, so these were all reconnaissance planes introduced in the early stage.

This is the highest and fastest flying aircraft in the entire region, and Ah San is very happy and gives this kind of aircraft the title of Goldfinch.

At this time, the pilot, Drogba, wearing a bulky flight helmet, stepped onto the plane.

Because he has to fly at an altitude of 30,000 meters, once the cockpit loses pressure, it will immediately be faint due to lack of oxygen for the pilot, so the pilot of the MiG-25 aircraft is dressed like an astronaut in space, a huge helmet, covering his entire head.

It's like a full helmet for a motorcycle, so that after wearing it, you don't need an oxygen mask, and you can directly aspirate through a fully enclosed helmet.

This system, which was specially developed for the MiG-25, is actually simplified from the spacesuit, and even in the Soviet Union, the MiG-25 began to be used to train astronauts, and the altitude of 30,000 meters can almost be called the edge of space.

Of course, this thing is also very bulky, and at the same time the vision is also very poor, so in the army, this kind of helmet is very resistant, to say convenient, or that kind of leather flight cap, that is really comfortable.

Now, Drogba has bloated onto the MiG-25 reconnaissance plane, put on his helmet, and turned on the oxygen tube, and his flight is about to begin.

The ground crew carefully checked that the latching mechanism of the cockpit canopy was normal, and then the engine in the tail roared one after another.

Two R-15B-300s, each providing 109 kN of thrust, with the opening of the afterburner, the tail burst out of the hot high-pressure gas, after releasing the brakes, the fighter is like an old ox pulling a broken car, slowly accelerating on the runway, accelerating, until the end of the runway, finally pulled up.

Its engines are very powerful, providing a total of 218 kN of thrust, which is similar to the third-generation fighter F-15 in the West, but its own weight is quite large.

Its stainless steel structure is already heavy, and at the same time, in order to achieve a large range, it has a lot of fuel in the plane, a full 19 tons!

In this way, the total weight of the entire fighter body has reached an astonishing 37 tons, which exceeds the weight of many light bombers, and its flight is about the same as that of some bombers.

Although this is the border, they are not afraid, the opposite side is the plateau area, the Chinese air defense deployment is very poor, only in the heart of the plateau, outside the deployment of a Red Flag 2 missile battalion, the entire plateau sky, almost undefended.

In the past, they operated the old Canberra, and they could cross the border from time to time to reconnoiter and go around, but now, now that they have more advanced reconnaissance planes, of course, they also have to do a big job!

Because of the proximity of the distance, he had already entered China's airspace as he climbed.

It was all blank underneath, and he was not afraid.

The reconnaissance plane was slowly climbing, climbing, and finally, climbing to an altitude of 26,000 meters, it was absolutely safe here, and the other side did not have any air defense weapons to hit here.

Although theoretically it can fly up to 30,000 meters, but when it actually performs the task, it must also be flexible, especially for Ah Sanren, the level of maintenance of the fighter is not good, and we must always pay attention to the occurrence of accidents, 20,000 six, once there is a mechanical failure, it is better than 30,000 meters to get out, right?

The sky was clear and clean, Drogba was in a good mood, he lowered his head and glanced at the route map tied to his knees, this time, with an advanced reconnaissance plane, his flight path was farther, and he had to fly all the way to Chengdu to reconnoiter the aircraft factory there, where it is said that the J-7 fighter is being improved, and the intelligence agencies of the three countries are quite interested.

The reconnaissance flight was lonely, and Drogba set course and began the long flight.

At the same time, the front end of his nose, five high-precision cameras, will also enter the working state, flying along the way, while taking pictures of what he sees, everything is automatically controlled, he can just fly.

Even if it is discovered by the radar on the ground, it can't do anything to him!
