Chapter 406: Helping Iran
"General Andrei, we are very grateful to your side for the Western 79 military exercises that were held half a month ago, which made Western Europe discourage the idea of sending troops to Iran. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 "Right now, the United States is invading us. We need more support from you. ”
"Of course, what do you need?" Andrei asked Rafsanjani.
"We need to buy a new batch of fighters, models that can compete with American fighters, and now, the United States completely occupies air supremacy, and our homeland is being bombed indiscriminately by the United States." Mohsin said.
Air force! The first thing that needs to be rebuilt is the Air Force! Just a year ago, the Iranian Air Force was the most powerful air force in the entire Persian Gulf region! They have advanced Tomcat fighters, and they also have a large number of second-generation fighters such as F-4 and F-5. But now, under the blockade of the United States, the advanced Tomcat fighters, lacking the necessary parts, can no longer take to the air for combat, and the second-generation fighters, under the air supremacy of the United States, cannot be lifted into the air at all, as long as they take off, they will be hit by the US Air Force and naval aviation!
The Persian cat is scrapped! Since only the US Navy is equipped with Tomcats except for Iran, it is impossible to get parts by smuggling!
"Our new fighter jets can be exported to you, but this is not a good choice." Andrei calmly analyzed: "Your country's air force has always been accustomed to flying Western fighters, and once our fighters are modified, they will need new modification training, and they will not be able to recover their combat capability without half a year." What you need now is an immediate restoration of combat capability. ”
Restore combat capability in no time! For Iran, this is urgently needed!
But how can combat capability be restored immediately? In the form of mercenaries, ask the Soviet Air Force to help them fight? When he came, the HMN leader did not mention such a form of cooperation, the purchase of weapons from the Soviet Union was already a last resort, and it was impossible to invite Soviet troops to help in the war, which was absolutely impossible!
"General Andrey, what do you have a good proposal?" Rafsanjani asked.
"We can help you upgrade your Tomcat fighter." Andrei said: "Your Tomcat fighter plane, because of the lack of spare parts, is grounded in a large area, if your Tomcat fighter can continue to appear in the Persian sky, how can it be allowed to be wreaked havoc by the American Air Force!" Moreover, your pilots are completely familiar with Tomcat fighters, so just provide parts for your Tomcat fighters and let them continue flying! ”
Upgrade your Tomcat fighter and provide parts! This sentence made the eyes of both of them light up, although more than a dozen were lost in the early days of the war, but now there are more than fifty left, and they cannot fly because of lack of parts. If your own Tomcat fighter can still fly, then it will not make the Americans so presumptuous at all!
Just, the Soviets supplied parts for American fighters? No matter how you say this, it's not reliable!
What does it mean if the Soviets were able to upgrade and improve American fighters? The advanced technology of the Americans was a piece of in the eyes of the Soviet Union.
"We can give you modifications and upgrades for $10 million per fighter, including double the supply of wearing parts." Andre said: "These wearing parts are produced by us in a new production line, and some are even produced by hand, and the price is a bit expensive, but the performance is absolutely guaranteed, at least it will not be interfered with by the Americans." We will change the frequency of the fighter radar so that the interference of the Americans will be disabled. ”
Ten million dollars! You must know that the purchase of a new J-7 fighter from Huaxia is only 7 million US dollars! Modified and upgraded, providing wearing parts, the price actually exceeded the new J-7 fighter!
These oil tycoons in the Middle East are super rich, and now although Iran is in a state of war, the Iranians still have the huge wealth left over from the Pahlavi era. You have to pit hard!
If it had been before, the Soviet Union had modified American-made fighters, it would have been absolutely impossible. And now, the defected Tomcat fighter has been repeatedly studied and mapped by Soviet technicians, every component has been thoroughly eaten, and the Soviet Union's great progress in electronic technology has overcome the most important difficulties, and it is not difficult to upgrade Iran's airborne radar. Now that the Soviet technicians have all mastered the technical parameters of the AWG-9, it can be said that the technical countermeasures against the American Tomcat fighters have been found, including how to interfere with those terrible immortal bird missiles, and it is not difficult to improve the Tomcat fighters for Iran at this time.
"If you don't trust us, how about we let us rebuild you with 10 planes first, and you think the performance is good, and then we can continue with the conversion?" Andrei asked.
"Okay, then we can refit ten first." "We hope this contract can be done as soon as possible," said Mohsin. ”
Iran is waiting! How to restore the combat effectiveness of the Air Force as soon as possible has always been their focus, and since they already have intentions, they must achieve it as soon as possible!
"As long as you have the funds in place, we can start at any time, and we can complete the conversion in a maximum of ten days." Andrei said.
"Okay, let's talk about another project then." Mohsin continued: "We also want to import a large number of main battle tanks. ”
Imported tanks! To deal with the armies of the Americans, you need your own armored forces! At the beginning of the war, their own armored forces suffered huge losses, and those tall Chieftain tanks were like paper paste in front of the US Air Force!
In addition to dealing with the United States, on the Western Front, if you want to deal with Iraq, you also need to have powerful ground weapons! Therefore, the import of ground weapons from the USSR is also a key point for them.
Hearing these words from the other party, Andrei frowned.
"General Andrey, are you in trouble?" Rafsanjani asked.
"Our current main battle tank is the T-72, and the current production capacity of this tank is limited, and it is not enough to even reequip ourselves, and there is no excess production capacity to provide for you." "Everyone knows that this tank is not easy to produce, especially with advanced composite armor," Andrei said. ”
Andrei's mind, of course, is thinking about something else, to improve Iran's Tomcat fighters, you can do it unnoticed, and you can deny it afterwards, but if you give Iran its own T-72, then the whole world knows that the Soviet Union is openly supporting Iran! That stupid big wood will scold Moscow in Baghdad!
You can't let the stupid big wood chill. What to do? (To be continued.) )
