Fussa Town, Tama County, island country, headquarters of U.S. Forces in Japan.

As a victorious country, the United States proudly stationed itself in the island country to achieve its goal of stationing troops in the island country and balancing the Soviet Union and China.

"The MiG-25 is the latest fighter of the Soviets, and we used to underestimate the performance of this fighter." Lieutenant General Paul James, commander of the U.S. Forces in Japan and commander of the U.S. Fifth Air Force in Japan, Colonel Lassfield, chief of intelligence of the U.S. Pacific Command, said: "After our investigation during this time, we found that this fighter not only has excellent high-altitude and high-speed performance, and can fly at an altitude of about 30,000 meters at a speed of more than Mach 2.5, but also has considerable close-range combat capabilities. We found that the F-4 fighter has serious gaps in various flight performance. Circling, accelerating the climb, it cannot compete with the MiG-25 in all aspects, and even if the opponent is piloting a good pilot, the difference in the performance of the fighter is very large. ”

In the last defeat, the White House decision-making department did not hot-headed order to continue to exert military pressure, but quickly sent technical personnel to investigate the cause of the defeat, and the recovery of EP-3 was mainly on the diplomatic side.

Now, the results of the survey have surprised the Americans, and the pressure on their Air Force from this MiG-25 is enormous.

"Our Sparrow missiles cannot reach an altitude of 30,000 meters, and at the same time, when the opponent accelerates beyond Mach 2, we cannot guarantee reliable head-on interception due to the reaction time of the electronic system." Colonel Lassfield continued: "In this way, we will be in a very difficult position, we will not be able to intercept, we will let the other side fly over our heads, and when we are in pursuit, our missiles will not be able to catch up with the other side. ”

"What's even more terrifying is that this fighter has a considerable range, can fly all the way at supersonic speed from the Far Eastern base opposite, circle over land, and fly back again! If the Soviets use such planes to drop bombs, then we have no other way than to use **** missiles. ”

"Yes, this kind of aircraft puts too much pressure on our air defense system, and it is impossible for us to place air defense positions on the entire island country." Lieutenant General Paul said.

Now, the other party has come to investigate, and the results of the investigation are almost the same as those of Lieutenant General Paul.

Of course, they didn't know that these were actually all blind spots, and the range was not so outrageous, and the pilot of the fighter, Andrey, flew back with an engine, and there was an accident when landing.

As for throwing bombs, unless they are built-in, the increased air resistance makes it impossible for the fighter to exceed the speed of Mach 2 at all.

"You can look at the Pravda of the Soviets the day before yesterday." At this moment, a thin middle-aged man with a gloomy face sat in a chair and placed a newspaper on the table.

"Locke, do you CIA just gather intelligence from Soviet newspapers?" Looking at this newspaper, Colonel Lasfield couldn't help but sneer, can the news in the newspaper be used as intelligence?

This middle-aged man, who is the head of the CIA's Far East side, also came to Tokyo this time to coordinate the handling of the EP-3 incident.

Actually, this sentence is also a good question, most of the intelligence that the CIA obtained from the Soviet Union was obtained from the newspapers of the Soviets.

No way, under the Soviet system, it is very difficult to carry out the work of intelligence personnel, no matter how many CIA directors are replaced, the intelligence of the Soviet Union is started from the newspapers, although there are exaggerated elements in the newspapers, but after analysis, there is still practical value.

For example, this Pravda newspaper is now reporting on the front page on a large area how a captain pilot of the Soviet Air Defense Force, a guy named Vladimir Andrei, flew the most advanced MiG-25 fighter plane in the Soviet Union to defend his country's airspace sovereignty. There may be an exaggeration on it, but it can be corresponding, and it should be the guy who flew over Hokkaido last time.

In particular, the above is still accompanied by a picture, you can see that the pilot named Andre is passing through the gangway and wants to climb onto the plane, the helmet worn by the pilot is specially for high-altitude flight, almost similar to the helmet of the astronaut, and you can also see the huge rectangular air intake of the aircraft, and see the rounded warhead of the missile mounted under the wing, which is an infrared-guided medium-range bomb!

These are all information that can be mined.

Lieutenant General Paul picked up the newspaper and while reading it, he heard Locke say: "We, the CIA, of course, don't just collect intelligence from the newspaper, Mr. Lieutenant General, we have used an agent who has been lurking in the Soviet Union for four years, and if the situation goes well, we can turn against a MiG-25 pilot and defect to us in a MiG-25, and then the EP-3 problem will be solved." ”

Plotted against a MiG-25 pilot and defected in a MiG-25! Hearing this, Lieutenant General Paul was instantly moved.

If you can really succeed in countering, then of course it would be great! Now no matter how you analyze it, it is just an after-the-fact analysis, if you can get close to a MiG-25 and can disassemble and study it, then you will know why the Soviets developed this almost alien technology fighter, if possible, the United States can also copy a batch, and its own side will not bear such huge pressure!

At the same time, the United States does not have to be ashamed, the Soviets will definitely exchange EP-3 with their own side immediately, and when the time comes, they will have to look at their own faces, and they will be able to count them in one fell swoop! It's worth using an agent who has been lurking for four years, too!

"Locke, this is a big deal, how do we need to cooperate?" Lieutenant General Paul asked.

"Confidentiality." Throwing these two words, Locke walked away, he really couldn't get used to Colonel Rusfield's face.

Lieutenant General Paul continues to look at the newspapers, big hero? This guy single-handedly ran into the skies over Hokkaido, could it be that it was formulated by the top of the Soviet Union? Then how did the rest of the MiG-25s return to the center line of the Sea of Japan?

Moreover, by the standards of the Soviets, this MiG-25 should be an interceptor, right? What is the difference between this interceptor and a fighter?

It seems that the mystery of all is revealed, and it is up to the CIA, if you can conspire against the Soviet pilots and study the MiG-25 aircraft at close range, you can make your own side understand.
