Chapter 591: Betraying F-14 Again
readx;
"However, we also have an American avionics that we can show to you for study, but we have to share the technology. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧," Kusai said.
There is also an American avionics that can be used for research? Tu Jida was overjoyed. However, in addition to the F-20, Iraq is equipped with either Soviet-style fighters or French goods, where is the American avionics for their own research?
"In the battle to liberate Tehran, we captured several F-14 fighters that could not take off, one of which had complete avionics equipment, especially the AWG-9 radar and the Immortal Bird missile, which were captured anyway and can be used for your study, but we hope that our Iraqi technicians will participate in the entire process of research."
"I'll report to the higher authorities, but I don't think there should be a problem." Tu Jida said happily.
What His Excellency Qusay is talking about is the radar of the powerful Tomcat fighter, this radar has quite strong performance, a search distance of 200 kilometers, and can even guide four immortal birds to attack four targets at the same time, which is comparable to the performance of early warning aircraft, although this radar was developed a little earlier, but it is no worse than the radar performance of the F-20, in Iran, the Tomcat was later used as an early warning aircraft. ≦≧
Having such avionics for research is naturally unwanted, and Tu Jida knows that the other party has done him a great favor this time.
For Qusay, this is just handy, F-14 fighters, after the original seizure of Tehran Air Base, a total of seven aircraft can be seen in the complete outline of the aircraft, although it has been used as organ donation, or a relatively complete number of them.
With these F-14s, Cusay naturally needs to maximize their value, although the variable sweep wing technology of the F-14 fighter is relatively perfect, but this is already an outdated technology,
And the engine of the F-14 does not have much reference value. Therefore, the most important thing on the F-14 is probably the epoch-making AWG-9 radar, as long as Cheng Fei understands the principle of this radar, it will also be a leap, and what is more suitable for this radar is that the United States will not run over to block it. ≦≧ export restrictions. Because, this has nothing to do with the United States!
In order to tap into these values, Qusay gave the F-14 to Cheng Fei. Moreover, it is a joint study, to know. When it comes to imitation ability, no one can compare with the technicians of the big eastern countries, and their own researchers will also gain great benefits from this.
At the same time, he sold these to the USSR, it is not known whether the USSR would be able to agree to the conditions he proposed.
Helmet-mounted sights and R-73 missiles, but there is a lot of value, and Qusay has also opened the corresponding chips. The combination of the F-14's radar and the Immortal Bird missile should be able to tempt the Soviets, right?
Cusai didn't know that his own words really moved the Mikoyan Design Bureau.
The Mikoyan Design Bureau, also known as the Mikoyan-Grevich Design Bureau, was the main Soviet fighter design bureau alongside the Sukhoi Design Bureau. Founded in 1939 by Artem Mikoyan and Mikhail Gurevich, the MiG series of fighters produced took the first letter of the surnames of the two designers, A. i Mikoyan and Mi Jo Grevich. ≦≧
Since the production of the first MiG-1 aircraft. The Mikoyan Design Bureau has always been an important aircraft design bureau of the Soviet Union, and has also designed a number of world-famous fighters, such as the MiG-15 air corridor, such as the small MiG-21 on the battlefield in Vietnam, and the MiG-25, which can fly up to three times the speed of sound, which once made the West tremble.
Right now. The MiG-29 has been designed, put into production and entered service with the troops. However, in the last actual combat of the MiG-29, it was defeated by the Iraqi Mirage 4000, the main problem of which is that due to the backwardness of the Soviet Union's electronic technology, the MiG-29's radar performance has serious defects, and it is impossible to conduct air combat with Western fighters in the absence of early warning aircraft to achieve an advantage outside the line of sight, so to improve the radar of the MiG-29, the Mikoyan Design Bureau attaches great importance to this matter.

I'm going to be happy
Mountain rain is coming9
Now, based on the MiG-25 on the basis of the improved MiG-31 interceptor, has entered service with the troops, in order to get better performance, the MiG-31 uses the latest developments, passive phased array radar, this radar antenna does not need to rotate, relying on the phase shifter to achieve the convergence of radio waves, to achieve a lot of functions, however, this radar is not suitable for the MiG-29, because it is too bulky, only the heavy MiG-31 can afford to drag it, moreover, it is too expensive, It is not suitable for the use of such fighters, which need to be equipped with the front line in large quantities. ≦≧
(In later generations, the improved airborne radar that exposed the MiG-31 was still inferior to the airborne radar of the aging F-14, the AWG-9 radar, which was already an important benchmark.) )
In this way, the airborne radar of the F-14 Tomcat fighter, the main fighter of the US Navy, this high-performance pulse Doppler radar, has a great reference significance for the researchers of the Mikoyan Design Bureau, and this radar is not outdated, even the United States is studying an improved APG-9 based on the AWG-71 radar. ≦≧
Therefore, they very much want to get this radar, but they are hostile to the Western camp, and the Western fighters that they can access in peacetime are all on the battlefield that will go off at any time, and now, this opportunity is really good, getting a complete F-14 will provide them with a good opportunity to understand Western fighters.
However, the price is very high, because what Iraq wants is the latest scientific success on the MiG-29, helmet sights and R-73 missiles.
This matter is no longer something that the Mikoyan Design Bureau can decide, nor is it the "Pennant" missile design bureau that can decide, and it is the top brass in Moscow who can decide whether to conclude this deal.
It's just that the current high-level leaders, their main energy is not in weapons and equipment! The general designer of the Mikoyan Design Bureau thought depressedly.
Since Chernenko came to power, because of his physical health, he is destined to be only a temporary replacement figure, so who will be his next term?
Chernenko was originally very satisfied, it was Grishin, who was born in the "Dnepr Gang" with him, and has always been Chernenko's deputy, but other people's opinions are also very important, and Chernenko also knows that the reforms promoted by Andropov are very necessary now. Chernenko maintained the reforms carried out by Andropov, and as an important subordinate of Andropov's reforms, Gorbachev also had a large supporter and had always recommended Gorbachev to Chernenko.
The USSR wanted to continue to develop in great strides, and a determined reformer, perhaps more suitable for the needs of the USSR, Chernenko was somewhat undecided.
The news from Iraq finally converged on the top leadership, and Chernenko only heard the head of the KGB talk about this issue at the end of a meeting, and in Chernenko's eyes, it was all a trivial matter.
"Iraq wants to exchange captured Iranian F-14 fighters for our MiG-29 helmet-mounted sights and R-73 missiles." The head of the KGB said: "The radar and missiles of this fighter have a great effect on our scientific researchers, but the MiG-29 is our latest equipment fighter, and this way of exchange will lead to the loss of our advanced technology, however, Iraq has also proposed to continue to purchase 200 BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicles and 50 БmД paratrooper fighting vehicles, as well as 20 IL-76 transport aircraft, and may even hold a joint military exercise with our country." ”
Speaking of joint military exercises, the defense minister's eyes lit up, if Iraq is really willing to hold military exercises with the Soviet Union, then it means that Iraq's national defense policy has begun to favor the Soviet Union?
However, even so, it is not worth exchanging the most advanced systems on the most advanced fighter planes of the Soviet Union, because the Soviet Union has always strictly controlled its own weapons and equipment, and the defection of Captain Viktor Belenko, the pilot of the MiG-25, to Japan in a plane is a living example of this.
"Iraq's request for the purchase of infantry fighting vehicles and paratrooper fighting vehicles, as well as Il-76 transport aircraft, we can fully meet it, and we fully agree with Iraq's proposal for joint military exercises, but we cannot agree to Iraq's proposed form of exchange." The Minister of Defense said that he did not care how advanced the F-14 was, and the secrets of the Soviet fighters must not be leaked, and if it was two years late, when the MiG-29 was ready to start exporting, it would be about the same. Although he knows that if the F-14 can really get its hands on it, it will be of great help to the military in studying the naval carrier-based aircraft that the US military is currently the main force of.
If this is the case, Iraq probably won't buy those equipment, Gorbachev thought on the sidelines, these people, really can't even see this? The latter conditions put forward by Iraq are all supplementary, and it will only be possible to carry out the latter if the former conditions are agreed.
Unlike them, Gorbachev is concerned about Iraq's continued imports of weapons from the Soviet Union, which will bring huge profits, you know, Iraq is a very rich country, and their imports of weapons have always been directly settled in US dollars, which will bring foreign exchange earnings to the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union in the process of trading with Western Europe, such as importing grain from Western Europe, is also settled in US dollars, Iraq is different from those poor countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, every time Iraq sells arms, it is a big deal, and the Soviet Union is now carrying out reformsWhat is needed most is funding!
Think about agreeing to this arms sale!
