Chapter 275 [Cold War "Black Technology" Fighter
With the help of Lin Shun's small means, the "Venus" cargo ship successfully got rid of the Philippine warship that was instructed by others to deliberately run to cause "trouble", and after sailing for a week, it finally anchored at a port on the southern coast.
And this little episode that happened on the road, except for the small number of parties involved, outsiders know nothing.
When delivered, the same is true, quietly!
After the three brothers received the payment of 30 million US dollars, they did not stay too long, and under the secret arrangement of the government of a big country that obtained valuable materials and was happy and happy, they returned to Ukraine directly by plane with a larger contract.
There is no doubt that arms smuggling is a "black job," and the reason why the three brothers have been treated like guests in this country is mainly due to the current international situation.
The cycle of international arms bidding is very long, and with the United States in the middle of the "ghosts," it was even more difficult for this big country in the 90s to obtain the latest military science and technology in the world.
But there is a good saying: you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder!
Although the road is dead, people are alive, as long as they are willing to spend money, there is always a way to get what they want.
One of the best ways to reach your goals through arms dealers is to achieve your goals!
However, in this era of the collapse of the Soviet Union and the dominance of the United States, the top dozen arms dealers will be more or less considerate and timid.
And the small arms dealers, do some Ak, bazooka or something, it's okay, the top technology "big goods", they don't have that ability at all.
Looking at the whole world, the only thing that can meet their requirements is the three brothers who have risen rapidly, but they are "not in accordance with the rules".
……
With a big contract in hand, it is naturally full of passion to do the work, and on the day of returning to Ukraine, Xingfeng, Vitaly, and Yuri were busy.
With the reminder of the last emergency, the three brothers clearly realized that it was much more difficult to smuggle arms into this large country in the East than in other places.
The contract was worth more than $200 million, and they couldn't afford to lose, so they had to be fully prepared.
First of all, the first thing to do, naturally, was to go to Lieutenant General Demich and negotiate the two jets in the inventory of the base here.
To be precise, they are two magical planes that can be called black technology in this era!
MiG-25Π, a high-altitude and high-speed interceptor jet fighter.
Design: Mikoyan Design Bureau;
Length: 22.3 m;
Wingspan: 13.95 metres;
Fuselage height: 5.7 meters;
Wing area: 56.20 sq.m.;
Sweep angle: 40° (near wingtip) 42° (inside);
Empty weight: 15,000 kg;
Maximum take-off weight: 37,500 kg;
Power system: 2× R-15B-300 afterburner turbojet engine;
Maximum thrust: 2×86.24 kN;
Afterburner thrust: 2×109.76 kN.
To say that during the Cold War, the most eye-catching thing in the world was undoubtedly this combat effectiveness.
First of all, it flies very fast, reaching Mach 3.2, which is 3.2 times the speed of sound, and is close to 1,500 meters in a second.
How perverted is this speed?
In horizontal comparison, the top fighter "F-5" developed by the United States at the same time has a maximum speed of Mach 1.6 per hour, which is only half of the MiG-25.
Well, it's two streets!
For longitudinal comparison, on the eve of the Fourth Middle East War in the autumn of 1971, four Soviet MiG-25s were stationed in Egypt to reconnoiter Israel.
One day, when Israel's most advanced F-4 fighter jet at the time spotted a MiG-25 in the air, it launched an AIM-9 Sidewinder missile.
And what is about to appear in front of this Israeli pilot is a picture that he will never forget, hit three lifetimes, ** the whole family.
The MiG-25 opened the afterburner, spewed out a string of tongues of fire, and then disappeared.
Well, gone!
Not shot down, but fled!
What tactical maneuver evasion maneuver, what infrared-guided false target, what jamming radar, all are all fart.
It is estimated that the Soviet pilot lit a cigarette, slowly pushed the accelerator, spit out a smoke ring, and said lightly: You guys are really annoying.
Couldn't even catch up with air-to-air missiles?
This is not dazzling, nor is it an exaggeration, the appearance of this scene at that time caused a great shock around the world.
Of course, the terrifying speed of Mach 3.2 will also cause strong friction between the air and the body, and the temperature of the body will reach more than 300 degrees Celsius, and the working temperature of the best aluminum alloy at that time is 130 degrees.
So how did Maozi solve it?
It is not the latest aluminum alloy technology, nor is it the product of the times, titanium alloy, Maozi has its own solution, that is, the use of "stainless steel" by no one before or since.
Stainless steel with a melting point of more than 1500 degrees, facing this 300 degrees, is naturally a piece of cake.
Of course, under this high-specific gravity stainless steel body, its weight has also reached the "world's highest" in this era.
The fuselage is very heavy, but it flies fast, which seems to be a "black technology", but the fact is far from enough to describe the magic of this fighter.
The "airborne radar", which needs to be cooled with liquid nitrogen, can bake a galloping hare within a kilometer when the radar is turned on at low altitude.
This is completely a cross-era "microwave weapon"!
In addition, the flight altitude of the MiG-25 is also a proper black technology.
With a practical flight altitude of 24,400 meters and a maximum flight altitude of 28,800 meters, this almost flew out of the earth and into outer space.
Although the synthesis of too many cross-era technologies has brought many shortcomings to this aircraft developed in the 60s.
However, for the large eastern countries that have succeeded in reform and opening up, have sufficient capital, and are eager to improve their national strength, the scientific research materials on the black technology of this aircraft are exactly the scientific and technological items they need.
……
If it had been a few months ago, let alone selling a MiG-25, even if it was a part, Dimich would not have had the guts.
But now the Soviet Union is gone, and Moscow, the former supreme leader, has also become a "foreign country".
No one can take care of it, this is one of the points, the accounts are chaotic, and the specific number of arms in various military bases in Ukraine is even more unknown.
Under this kind of benefit, Dimich doesn't have so much care!
When Xingfeng pulled up in front of him in a new Rolls-Royce motorhome full of Demichi's favorite CDs and vodka, it was all incredibly simple.
The MiG-25, which costs $4,000 to $50 million at an international price, was directly acquired by the three brothers with the more than $40 million they earned from the last munitions.
The arrival of the "designated goods" is only the first step, and how to transport it to the big eastern country next is a severe test that the three brothers need to face.
