The F-111F fighter-bomber adopts the general layout of a two-seater, twin-engine, upper single wing and an inverted T-shaped tail, and the landing gear is a front three-point type. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The biggest feature of the info is the use of variable sweep wings, which is the first time this technology has been applied to a practical aircraft. The advantage of variable swept wing is that it can improve the take-off and landing performance of supersonic aircraft, take into account the aerodynamic requirements between high and low speeds, and expand the range of use of aircraft.

Variable swept wing technology solves the problem of compatibility between high and low speeds. The general variable sweep wing is composed of two parts: a fixed inner wing and a movable outer wing, the outer side of the inner wing is equipped with a rotating shaft that penetrates the thickness of the wing, and the outer wing is connected to the inner wing through the rotating shaft and can be driven by mechanical force to sweep back and forth around the rotating shaft. The variable swept wing solves the contradiction between high and low speed flight. When flying at high speed, a large sweep angle is used, the drag of the aircraft is small, and the acceleration is good; The use of small sweep angle in low-speed flight, large wing aspect ratio, long endurance, good economy and safe take-off and landing of the aircraft.

The Soviet counter to the F-111F fighter-bomber was the MiG-23 Flogger heavy fighter of the Mikoyan Design Bureau.

However, even if the combat radius of the F-111F fighter-bomber is not low, it is still an impossible task to take off from Britain and rush to Libya, and nearly 30 air tankers have already taken off first and will be on standby in the English Channel, the waters west of France, and the Strait of Gibraltar to refuel the fighter-bomber group in the air and complete this 5,000-kilometer-long mission.

"It's a pity that we don't have a military advisory group in Libya, so we can only remind you through our military presence in Egypt." The Minister of Defense, Marshal Akhromeyev, greeted the General Secretary, who had come here for the night, in the Ministry of Defense, and no one could stop the actions of the US military at the moment unless the Mediterranean Fleet of the Soviet Red Navy, which entered the firing range, carried out a salvo of anti-ship missiles.

"The spy satellite shows that the current position of the US tanker fleet can be judged that the US Air Force is currently on the attack." Marshal Akhromeyev analyzed this situation and said that it was an analysis that where the fighter group had arrived could only be estimated by estimation, and spy satellites could not solve all problems, otherwise at the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, how could Serov deceive the Americans who were close at hand? If you want to evade the survey of spy satellites, even naval warships can do it, and it is even easier for airplanes.

"It would not be difficult for us to simply destroy the US Sixth Fleet, especially since Reagan risked ignoring our Mediterranean Fleet and concentrating on an attack posture against Libya. But the problem is after the fight, Libya is not worth it for us to put aside everything and confront the United States, if it is Saudi Arabia? Think about it then. Serov looked at the position of the US Sixth Fleet, out of range of Egyptian anti-ship missiles, which only the Soviet Granite series could get.

But Egypt can fight, but the USSR cannot. That's the problem, and Serov had to admit that the USSR couldn't help. Reagan's judgment of the Soviet Union's inability to intervene was very accurate, mainly because the Soviet Union saw that the time frame for the intention was too short. Just like the Soviet Union attacking Turkey, the United States simply did not have time to react. This time, the role was reversed, and a few days were simply not enough time for the Soviet Union to make targeted deployments.

Even if the Soviet Union attacks Europe, the United States still hopes that Europe will first resist it for a month to buy time for the United States to mobilize.

"Let Mubarak inform Gaddafi that the Americans are coming, and it is a victory for him to save his life." Serov squinted his eyes and gave the order, although this nasty guy was also anti-Soviet, but he was even more anti-American, and anti-American must be saved.

The world is not only two camps, there are also some secondary forces, if these secondary forces do not exist, the Soviet Union was killed by the United States as early as after World War II and could not turn over, but the secondary forces are secondary forces, the main thing is to be hard, otherwise it will be like Gotu to die, France almost has to cut its wrists and bleed, and it still can't stop the Soviet Union from committing suicide.

In fact, Mubarak's reminder can only play a role of icing on the cake, and no one is stupid when it comes to his own life, especially Gaddafi, whose ambition has not yet been eroded. Three days ago, from repeated reminders from the Soviet Union and France, Gaddafi had concluded that he would not be able to escape this time, and on the one hand, he would issue a proclamation to get the Libyans to support him, and on the other hand, he would take a tough stance on the outside world, so that the United States would once again suffer the defeat of the Vietnam War.

In order to preserve strength, fighters were secretly transferred to neighboring Sudan, a number of military transport aircraft were transferred from the coast to the desert in the interior, several radar stations on the border were closed, air defense of certain important targets was strengthened, troops were evacuated from barracks, and foreign technicians and workers were concentrated in the oil fields as hostages, including a thousand Americans.

"A thousand American hostages?" Serov finally saw something interesting, this Gaddafi response that Egypt fed back, which was basically worthless, except for a thousand American hostages.

These moves are okay against other Arab countries, but they are a joke against the United States. Serov stood up and said to Defense Minister Marshal Akhromeyev, "Comrade Marshal, there is basically no problem, I will leave first." ”

The general secretary, who left the gate of the Ministry of Defense, drove straight to the Rubyanka, and was still thinking about a thousand American hostages on the way. The United States is an interesting country because it has shaped human rights too high against the revolutionary Soviet Union. The result of human rights being too noble is that the United States cannot lower its tone even if it wants to.

From the favorable experience of history, Serov can know that one of the things that the United States absolutely does not forgive is the large-scale use of Americans as hostages, and Iran was still blockaded by the United States until the 21 st century, and it has formed a fixed impression in the minds of Americans.

"Don't tell me that the French Africa Division hasn't grown at all over the years?" After arriving in the Lubyanka, Chebrikov was already off work, it doesn't matter, let him come back, Chebrikov is not very old, and he is the same age as Serov.

"Let's kill a bunch of Americans?" Chebrikov was taken aback, the methods of the general secretary were as direct as ever.

"I'm desperate to meet this kind of leader of a third world country who is always swinging between two camps." About 30 years ago, the general secretary and his secretary blew up the US Embassy in Hungary, and until today Hungary and the United States have severed diplomatic relations.

To gain benefits for the Soviet Union from this military operation, the means cannot be too bright. Serov has done too much of the unsightly thing, and he will care about the lives of Americans when he is ruthless?

Serov held his head with his hands, looked at the table with his eyes, and said boredly while thinking about it, "Everything has a degree, and the United States will definitely investigate it to the end, more than a thousand lives, and I can't do it." ”

General Chebrikov, who was about to drink water and listen to the teachings, stiffened slightly, his head crashed for a while, and he directly put the cup back on the table, forgetting what he had just done.

"And how many people do we kill?" As Chebrikov spoke, he pondered the difficulty of his actions.

"One percent is enough, just find a hostage location, I don't believe that there are no people in the Libyan army who don't have us? This can be done by a company commander. Serov suddenly leaned back on the backrest and said to himself, "The number of people can't be too many, otherwise it will be a full-scale war, if Libya has a population of tens of millions and can resist the land attack of the United States, of course the Soviet Union will desperately help, but unfortunately the population of Libya is less than four million, and this population has no basis for guerrilla warfare." ”

"I'll leave the finishing touches to Mendelev, Libya is a desert, and there are places for a few soldiers involved in the world to bury their bones!" Kill a few Americans, even if Reagan knows about it, he can't do anything to the Soviet Union, but he still has to avoid trouble, Serov wants to force Gaddafi to defect to the Soviet Union, exposing Gaddafi may bite back.

"No problem, four or five members are enough." Mendelev, head of the operational executive department, replied in a flat voice.

"You have fourteen hours to prepare, and you have to wait until the whole world knows about the U.S. air strikes." Serov looked at his watch as he spoke, "What support do you need?" ”

"A transport plane airdropped us into Libya!" Mendelev replied without hesitation.

"The plane will take off from Sudan, not from the Mediterranean, and Benin can too." Serov spread out the map of Africa, the US Sixth Fleet is in the Mediterranean, and taking off from the north will definitely be discovered.

"Sudan has people from our Operations Enforcement Department, and they all know Arabic." Mendelev's movements are no different from those on the phone, and he is also holding a map of Africa to compare and find the easiest hostage gathering area.

At the time of the US air raid on Libya, the Soviet Union, which defined the US action as a typical imperialist act, was also preparing to fish in troubled waters and show the light of social imperialism.

At one o'clock in the evening, the U.S. Navy and Air Force completed air coordination, everything was ready, and Operation Golden Canyon officially began.

Off the coast of Libya, four EF-111 electronic warfare aircraft and fourteen EA-6B electronic warfare aircraft simultaneously cast strong interference, and even if the Libyan anti-aircraft missile guidance radar was blind, radio communications were interrupted. At the same time, carrier-based aircraft of the naval aviation took the lead in launching missile attacks on the air defense positions of the Libyan army. Six F/A-18 fighter-attack aircraft and six A-7 attack aircraft fired about 50 high-speed anti-radiation missiles from the radar stations of the Lili Army in Tripoli and Benghaci six minutes before the main attack formation entered the target area.

The air raid of the US Navy and Air Force was immediately captured by Soviet spy satellites staying over Libya, and almost at the same time an Il-76 transport plane appeared on the runway of the Soviet air base in Sudan, and soon rose off and disappeared into the night. Serov, the master of micro-exercises, has not moved for a long time.
