The CIA's plan to defect from the MiG-25 pilot Belenko ultimately failed due to Andrei's intervention, and the MiG-25 fell to the bottom of the sea hundreds of nautical miles from Hokkaido.

Although the defected MiG-25 was not successfully obtained, it was also kept there after all! Now, as long as this plane is salvaged, the United States can still study the structure of the MiG-25!

Therefore, at the meeting, when Locke, the head of the CIA's Far East Front, said this plan, Lieutenant General Paul nodded in agreement, and the action must be fast!

Although it is known that the MiG-25 fell to the bottom of the sea, if you want to salvage it, you must accurately find the crash site, after all, the average depth of the Sea of Japan is almost 2,000 meters, and ordinary divers cannot dive to such a depth.

Therefore, the United States used two oceanographic survey ships to start searching near the crash site, these two oceanographic survey ships with advanced survey equipment, can map the geological appearance of the seabed, and can also find the sinking of the MiG-25.

At the same time, the salvage ship is also on standby, and once the sunken location is found, it will be salvaged immediately!

The Soviets, I didn't think that this position of 100 nautical miles is still equivalent to giving the MiG-25 to their own side!

The survey ship constantly emits ultrasonic waves to probe the seabed, and the computer-synthesized images are displayed on the screen of the survey ship, and as soon as the outline of the MiG-25 is found, deep-sea divers will be sent down to observe and confirm.

The work is long and tedious, and many times, it depends on luck, measuring the people on board, and after several hours of work, they all fall into a state of fatigue.

At this moment, in the distant sky, there was a roar, and a sailor on the deck, looking at the sky to the east, four warplanes, were whistling and flying.

F-4！ At this time, what is the purpose of the dispatch of our own air force?

"The height is twenty-eight, the speed is two-point eight, damn it, with this speed and altitude, we can't intercept it at all!" After long-range radars detected the movements of the Soviet side, the US Air Force urgently dispatched four warplanes to prepare for interception.

However, in the face of those fighters flying at high altitude and high speed, the pilots of the F-4 fighters were helpless, the altitude was unreachable, the speed was not as fast as others, and they intercepted a fart.

Twenty-eight thousand is already the height of the stratosphere, where the air is thin and you can see the wonderful scene at the edge of the earth, and every time you fly to this height, Andrei will sigh at the charm of the earth.

This time, piloting his No. 032 fighter plane, escorting a MiG-25R reconnaissance plane of the fraternal troops, and two planes, flew from a high altitude towards the predetermined sea area.

After crossing the median line of the Sea of Japan, both planes had climbed to an altitude of 28,000 meters, and at the same time they drove to their maximum with maximum afterburner, making a Mach 2.8 flight.

Turning on the radar, Andrei saw four bright spots, and said to the pilot of the reconnaissance plane on the radio: "032 calls 462, 032 calls 462, and four American fighters were found, with an altitude of 16,000 and a speed of 1.5, which are not threatening." ”

Due to the excellent high-altitude and high-speed performance, the MiG-25 interceptor type began to be developed after it was put into service, and this kind of high-altitude and high-speed aircraft was simply inherently prepared for reconnaissance, so that in the end, 60 percent of the total production of the MiG-25 was the reconnaissance / bombing type.

Initially, the Mikoyan Design Bureau equipped the MiG-25 with five Zenit aerial reconnaissance cameras produced by the Kazan Denat Optical Instrument Plant, four of which were A70M lateral reconnaissance cameras and one A/E-10 terrain reconnaissance camera. After entering service, it became the most advanced reconnaissance aircraft in Soviet equipment.

However, pure reconnaissance aircraft are a bit wasteful, so the Mikoyan Design Bureau continued to add bombing and targeting systems to these production MiG-25R, and expanded the cross-sectional area of the air intake, increased the ceiling, and at the same time, adopted two A-72 cameras with 150mm lenses to replace the A-70M cameras and A/E-10 cameras, and optional SRS-4A/B/V ELECTRONIC RECONNAISSANCE EQUIPMENT, AS WELL AS THE SPS-141 "ALERT" ELECTRONIC COUNTERMEASURE JAMMER. It was developed into the MiG-25RB reconnaissance-bombing version.

Now, with Andrey, it is such an airplane, and the task of the two planes is to reconnoiter and photograph the actions of the Americans at sea.

Spotting these two planes coming, the Americans immediately took off to intercept them, but unfortunately, in the face of the two planes flying at high altitude, the Americans simply had no way to intercept them.

Whizzing through the sky, although they began to take pictures and return after finding the American salvage ship below, they almost brushed the edge of Hokkaido before completing the turn, and the two planes roared back to base.

The reconnaissance photos were sent for development, and Andrei, who had just changed into a flight suit, was called to Kozhdub's office.

"Report." Andrei shouted, heard an echo from inside, pushed open the door and walked in.

When he entered, Andrei saw that in addition to the commander of the base, Kozhdub, and the regimental commander Ivanov, there were two other people he didn't know, both of whom looked to be about fifty years old, with wrinkled faces and still in good spirits.

Looking at it again, Andre glanced at the shoulder of one of the people, the yellow pattern and the three stars on it, and he was stunned for a moment, this guy is a general.

The other, wearing the uniform of the Air Defense Force and carrying it on his shoulders, is also the rank of lieutenant general.

No wonder Kuri Dub looks like this today, smiling as cheaply as he saw the KGB guy, it turns out that the big leader is here!

"Captain Pilot Andrei of the 513 Regiment of the USSR Territorial Defense Forces, came to report." Andrei said to the man in front of him.

"Captain Andrei, this is the commander of our Far Eastern Military District, Colonel-General Ivan Trecyanko, this is the deputy commander of the Far Eastern Military District, Lieutenant General Konstantin Burman, and at the same time the commander-in-chief of the air defense forces of our Far Eastern Military District." "Today is the most glorious day of our Sokolovka base, with the inspection of two commanders. ”

It turned out to be a high-ranking officer of the military region!
