Chapter 706: The United States Participates
A fighter whose performance was already known to the Soviets! When he said this, the US representative was extremely depressed, because the F-15, the most advanced third-generation aircraft of the US Air Force, and the F-14, the most advanced fighter of the US Navy, had already been dismantled by the Soviets. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Therefore, the United States had to tinker with the fourth-generation aircraft just a few years after the third-generation aircraft F-15 was equipped with troops, and now, the bidding for the US Air Force is underway, and the two fighters of YF-22 and YF23, which have obtained experimental numbers, are already in full swing.
However, it is not easy to beat the Soviets in all aspects of performance, in addition to the newly developed fighters, improve the existing fighters, that is, an important part, especially their own F-15 fighters!
American fighters are absolutely capable of outperforming the Soviets in all aspects! Now, in order to boost the morale of your own side, simply take out this fighter and go to the Moscow Air Show to slap the Soviets in the face!
Moscow Air Show! When Moscow released the news, the whole world was in a sensation, all along, the fighter equipment of the Soviets is like a mystery in the eyes of Westerners, except for the MiG-21, MiG-23 and other export fighters, the Soviet Union's own fighters have always been veiled, and even the MiG-29 exported by the Soviets, NATO does not know much.
And now, the Soviets are actually going to hold an air show! After the Soviet Union released this news, the next day, the United States issued a statement that in response to the Soviet Union's Moscow Air Show, the United States will send some personnel to participate in the Moscow Air Show, and they will also bring their own equipment, especially American passenger planes, in the hope of opening up the Soviet Union's civil aviation market.
In fact, the Soviets only said that they would hold an air show and did not invite foreign businessmen, and the United States announced this news in order to beat the Soviets and see how the Soviets would accept them.
The result was certain, and as soon as the Soviets received the news, they agreed to the request of a number of American manufacturers to participate in the Moscow Air Show.
In the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union were seriously confrontational, and the Soviet side was on high alert for this obviously ill-intentioned visit by the Americans, and at the same time, their faces were full of smiles and welcomed Western guests.
40 kilometers southeast of Moscow, the city of Rukovsky, is very lively. The international air show "Moscow Air Show-82" was launched here.
There are many reasons why it was chosen to host the air show, it is almost the cradle of the Soviet aviation industry, and this town of more than 100,000 people is the most beautiful and modern outside Moscow. At the same time, it was designed and developed in the model of an aviation science and technology center. Many scientific research institutes, research and design bureaus and aviation enterprises are located in the city. For example, the quite famous Central Aviation Research Institute, the Gromov Flight Research Institute, the Aviation Experimental Science and Technology Research Institute, and so on. It can be said that this was the center of Soviet aerospace.
The exact location of the air show is at the Gromov Pilot Test Institute, which has the longest runway in Europe, can take off and land the largest aircraft, and at the same time, the large space ensures that the spectacular air show can be carried out smoothly. For this air show, the test flight institute has built a new exhibition hall, which can provide exhibition seats for more than 200 aircraft, and 40 exhibition tents cover an area of 25,000 square meters. From here, you can also see the Moskva River in the distance and the nearby lake.
In the sky, from time to time, there is the roar of the engine, as a small town dominated by the aerospace industry, this kind of noise can be heard almost every day, but today, when people hear the noise and look up, they find that it is a super huge plane flying in the air!
Since the plane has already begun to enter the landing route at this time, the incomparably huge body is covered in the sky, just like an alien spaceship in a Star Wars cartoon! When I saw the residents, I couldn't help but be stunned, what is that?
"The C-5 transport aircraft of the Americans." As residents of small towns, they usually see a lot of airplanes, and many people naturally become military experts, and they recognize the models of American military planes at a glance.
"American planes! Quick, report to your superiors! Hearing this, the citizens of the town immediately shouted.
"Don't make a fuss, Sdhu, you definitely haven't heard the news recently, we are going to hold an air show here, the American planes are here to participate in the air show, you see, around this plane, aren't there two of our fighters to escort them?"
The citizens who were nervous just now finally raised their heads and looked at the sky, and sure enough, around this large transport plane, there were two MiG-29 fighters of their own side to escort them!
"I really don't understand, we hold an air show, what are the Americans doing here."
"Usually let you watch more military, but if you don't watch it, you don't understand, right? We held the air show just to give the Americans a dismount, and the American planes came to join in the fun, hoping to smash the field for us, but the Americans will definitely have to go back in the end. ”
In the discussion of the people on the ground, the transport plane in the sky, aimed at the runway, slowly descended, the pilot slowly pushed the control stick, and when the transport plane made contact with the ground, it gently jolted down, and then touched the ground.
Start the thrust reverser!
The transport plane quickly stopped, and the pilot let go of his hand, looked at his own personnel who had arrived earlier on the ground, and commanded himself to slide in the direction of a hangar in the distance.
At this time, the pilots still felt like they were dreaming, in the Cold War, American transport planes were able to land near Moscow, the heart of the Soviets, to participate in their air show!
However, this is not something you have to think about, your own task, even if it is over, next, it's time to see the performance of the fighter pilot, I hope he will not let his side down, in the air show, compare the planes of the Soviets!
In the distance, the same people were watching with interest.
"General Andrei, apart from the US president's visit to our Soviet Union, this is the first time that an American transport plane has landed near our Moscow." Sergei Nikolayevich Anokhin, the director of the Gromov Test Flight Institute, told Andrey that the director of the test flight institute, who also came from test pilots, grew up step by step, became a meritorious test pilot, and finally became the director here.
Of course, he knew what it meant to be at the Gromov Pilot Institute, where there were too many Soviet secrets of aerospace! Although a lot of preliminary work has been carried out at this air show, limiting the range of tourist activities and increasing the security force of the KGB, is it necessary to make such a flashy air show with great effort?
