Chapter 592: Exchange with the production line of the Mi-24
readx;
Ladies and gentlemen, if we don't give Iraq a little sweetness, I'm afraid Iraq won't place more orders...... "Gorbachev finally spoke" Iraq's purchase plans are all based on the premise of this exchange agreement, and if we want to induce Iraq to buy more weapons, then we have to come up with sufficient terms for exchange.

"You mean, you want us to export the equipment of the MiG-29? That's impossible. "It is impossible for us to exchange our most advanced fighter, although this fighter will be exported later, but not now, until our T-10 project is completed, all kinds of performance data of the MiG-29 will be extremely confidential," Ustinov said. β
"I didn't say anything about exchanging the MiG-29." Gorbachev said: "I'm just saying, wouldn't it be better to exchange the production line of the Mi-24 for an export of weapons that has enough energy level with the MiG-29, but does not pose a threat of leakage to us, and to exchange it for the F-14 that our scientific and technological personnel need?" Now the main carrier-based aircraft of the United States aircraft carrier is the F-14, and if we can study the performance of this fighter thoroughly, we will have a great advantage in future encounters with the US Navy. β¦β§β
What Gorbachev said, but also to Ustinov's heart, if you can really study all the performance of the F-14, for the Soviet Union's powerful fighter and the US Navy encounter, can provide more reference meaning, familiar with the performance of the other side, then it will give their own side an advantage, the last time their own MiG-29 and Iraq's Mirage 4000 duel and suffer, mainly do not know the performance of the other side.
Gorbachev glanced at General Secretary Chernenko, saw that he did not react, and continued: "Those F-14s, the Iraqis must be hiding like a treasure, with their good relations with France." Perhaps, it will be used by the French to study it. And then improve their Mirage 4000 radar, so, we have to start fast, get these things first, last time Ila Chapter 592 exchanged the Mi-24 production line for grams, didn't he propose to buy the Mi-24 gunship production line, but we didn't agree? β
Production line for Mi-24 helicopters? This helicopter has entered service with the Iraqi Army in large quantities, and from this point of view, various data on the Mi-24 ...... Iraq has already mastered it. β¦β§ exported to their production line, but there was no precedent, and last time Iraq asked for too many things, which could only partially satisfy them, so they did not agree to their request at the beginning.
"Our T-72 line can provide them with one. The Mi-24 shouldn't be too difficult, right? Gorbachev continued: "In this way, although Iraq was not given the MiG-29 weapon system, it can be regarded as a very friendly sincerity of ours, and the Mi-24 production line will allow Iraq to send us more money than those two small systems, alleviating our current economic situation." And, as far as I know. Our more advanced Mi-28 helicopter should be about to enter service with the army, right? β
The Mi-28 helicopter is a single-rotor all-weather armed helicopter with tail rotor developed by the Miri Design Bureau, and the NATO code name "Havoc" began to be designed in 1976
The prototype made its first flight in November 1982. This purpose-built gunship abandons many of the Mi-24's unique designs, such as a troop carrier that can carry eight infantrymen and a bubble-shaped windshield. β¦β§ its structural layout and combat characteristics are similar to the popular designs in the West, especially with the AH-64, so it is nicknamed "Apachesky" by the West.
The Mi-28 has an amazing overload capacity, the on-board optical sighting system is good, and it has good maneuverability, even a crew member who is not skilled enough to fly an ordinary helicopter can be very decisive; The survivability is very strong, the cockpit and airborne equipment can withstand the attack of enemy anti-aircraft fire, and fully meet the Western standards for "anti-tank helicopters" at long distances and very complex terrain, the enemy finds and strikes before the enemy; It also has the ability to penetrate at ultra-low altitudes below 20 meters......
The last time Iraq wanted to buy the Mi-24 production line, Gorbachev made a point to find out what he was thinking now, and how to save people could have enough reasons to move them, export Iraq to give them the production line, and exchange a large amount of money for the Soviet Union, which was the most important thing.
You know, the profit of exporting the Mi-24 production line to Iraq is far greater than the profit of what helmet sights and R-73 missiles, so after Gorbachev learned about the specific situation of the Mi-24, he felt that since the production line of the T-72 can be sold to Iraq, the Mi-24 can also be used, because the more advanced Mi-28 has already been developed, and the Mi-24 was originally exported to Iraq, since they want to build it themselves, then let them build it themselves, you know, The profit they make from buying a hundred Mi-24 helicopters is not as great as the profit from selling the production line. β¦β§
When it comes to the Mi-28, Defense Minister Ustinov no longer insists, because he already knows that on the battlefield in Afghanistan, the Mi-24 has exposed a large number of problems, which have been improved on the basis of the Mi-28, and the Mi-24 is no longer advanced, and if the Mi-24 can be exchanged for the F-14, the deal should be worth it.
"If Iraq is willing to accept our terms, I agree in principle." The Minister of Defense has finally spoken.
"I agree." At this time, Chernenko, who was already drowsy, also spoke, such a simple question did not need to be discussed for so long. β¦β§
When the news reached the Mikoyan Design Bureau, they were very happy to get this fighter, which means that they can thoroughly understand the technology of this variable-swept wing fighter in the United States, although the wind of the variable-swept wing has passed, but the performance of the computer-controlled fully variable sweep wing in the United States is still much higher than that of the MiG-23, which can only be manually fixed at several angles.
Moreover, although the MiG-29 radar was not developed by the Mikoyan Design Bureau, they still expect their radar development units to thoroughly understand the technology of the AG-9 radar and use it to improve their own fighters.
Shot control system of Su-27 and MiG-29 with Ray
The development was carried out by two units of Fazotron Scientific Production, including the Instrument Building Institute (IIP) in Zukovsky and the Research Institute of Radio Engineering (IIR) in Moscow. IIP is responsible for the Su-27's S-27 launch control system and the RLP-27 radar, and IIR is responsible for the MiG-29's S-29 launch control system and RLP-29 radar, as well as the development of the launch control computer and the integration with the OEPS optoelectronic system.
Among them, due to the difference in required performance, the S-29 uses an ordinary Gesselin antenna (that is, the pot lid), while the S-27 plans to use a planar slot antenna, and uses horizontal mechanical scanning and vertical electronic scanning to increase its scanning speed and data update rate, so as to surpass the radar used by the F-15. However, due to the backwardness of Soviet electronic technology, many years of testing and improvement still could not solve the technical problems of plane antennas, electronic scanning, software, etc., making this advanced radar unable to meet the performance requirements. Therefore, in 1982, the IIP decided to abandon the use of this avant-garde antenna and instead use a version of the MiG-29 with a 1.5-fold increase in the caliber of the Gesseling antenna, so that the performance of the two radars will probably not be too different.
These two units, after receiving the news from the top, were also very excited and eagerly awaited the arrival of the AG-9 radar.
They don't know that they are not the only ones who got the F-14 radars, and Qusay also gave them to someone else, just not the French, but the great powers of the East.
Qusay's inspection in Chengfei went very smoothly, and he looked at the Super Seven fighters on the assembly line with great interest. With this project, Chengfei has surpassed Shen Fei in the export of foreign military aircraft, and Shen Fei's high-altitude and high-speed fighter J-8-2 is still negotiating at the moment, hoping to obtain technical support from the United States, which has a very good relationship at this time.
After the inspection was completed, Qusay's visit to the eastern powers was over, and according to the original plan, it was time for him to return to Iraq.
In Chengdu Airport, Kusai, who was about to board the special plane, saw the figure again in the hall on the first floor, and Cheng Yu, who was seen at the Shanghai Qiuxin Shipyard, was carrying a few boxes with several people wearing glasses. What are they doing at Chengdu Airport?
"Your Excellency Qusay, that is the technician of the Shanghai Qiuxin Shipyard, because we proposed to build a shipyard in the port of Saddam, and they were in charge of the survey and design in advance, because the direct flight from Shanghai to Iraq has already taken off, so they transferred to Chengdu, and there is a flight here that is bound for Kuwait, where they will change cars and go to Iraq." A secretary said.
"Why didn't you report this to me earlier?" Qusay asked.
"I'm sorry, you've been visiting today, and I wanted to report back to you when I got back, but they've already arrived
Iraq. The secretary said.
"They are too difficult to do this, let them take my special plane to Iraq together, they are here to help us build the shipyard, we can't treat them badly!" Qusay said.
"Yes, I'm going to inform the airport." The secretary said.
