Chapter 137: F-117 takes off
readx;
The only thing that could hinder Gorbachev's progress was the senatorial corps, and Qusay had high hopes for them, providing large sums of money in the hope of delaying the collapse of the Soviet Union, and, in practice, it did work, in history, in 88 the Soviet Union implemented the election of people's deputies by margin, and in 90 abandoned the one-party system. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info{{}} And now, due to the resistance of the patriarchs, none of this has been realized.
However, the shortcomings of the patriarchs are also very obvious, that is, the patriarchs are too old.
The leader of the senatorial group is Gromyko, the patriarch of several dynasties, the most influential, but, in the first year, Gromyko died, and Mortin survived until the nineties and also died.
Of the current senators, only Marshal Sergei Leonidevich Sokolov is not bad, and in later generations he lived until he was 101 years old and witnessed the revival of Russia. Moreover, Sergei commanded the war in Afghanistan and has a very high position in the military, and if it were not for the incident on Red Square, he would have been the Minister of Defense all along.
However, Sergei did not have the courage of Gromyko, who had already formulated an operation to eliminate those radicals, and when it came time to implement it, Gromyko could no longer sit in command, and the operation ended without a hitch. {{}}
Through cooperation with the veterans, Qusay gained a lot of things, for example, the Su-27K fighter, and for example, the Sam-10 missile! Through the arrangement of the elders, Iraq secretly purchased four sets of SAM-10 missiles and placed them around the Iraqi capital Baghdad to protect the skies of Baghdad.
While fighting with the veterans, Qusay also maintained a close relationship with Gorbachev. The only modern-class ship built in the Black Sea, the Unforgettable, was aborted in 1987 due to strategic problems with the Soviet Navy. This warship, which is favored by Iraq, invests funds, and after completing the construction program, will join the Iraqi Navy.
At the same time, the aircraft carrier of the Iraqi Navy is being rapidly built on the slipway of the Black Sea shipyard and is about to be disembarked for the outfitting stage, and at the same time, the Soviet-made shell shè has completed the later refinements and met the design requirements.
With the shè device, even the Su-27K fighter with full fuel can be lifted into the air. The Su-27K fighters secretly ordered by Iraq are already being produced on the production line. After paying a high tuition fee and buying off the personnel of the Soviet air base, Iraq began to learn to fly the Su-27 there, and Reyer and twelve others would become Iraq's first carrier-based pilots.
At the same time, after they have completed the Su-27 course, they will enter the Nitka system for simulated carrier-based aircraft take-off and landing training.
And Iraq's own supply ships have also been launched, and after a year of outfitting, they will enter service with the Iraqi Navy.
In the bad international situation, enhancing one's own national strength is always the most important thing.
However, for the time being, Qusay has not had time to plan a new operation, and in recent times, his main major event, or a major event in the whole of Iraq, is the wedding of President Qusay, marrying a Saudi princess.
In Cusai's impression, he always feels that marriage can't be too casual, of course, it doesn't have to be too cumbersome, that kind of scene that is too extravagant and wasteful is an idea that only the rich second generation has. He just needs to be plain.
However, the Saudi side will never agree, which represents the dignity and glory of the Saudi royal family, so the wedding scene is very grand. {{}}
In the world before Qusay's crossing, it was good enough to get married and find an Audi as a wedding car, and to be able to find a Mercedes-Benz BMW, this is definitely a rich man, and here, Qusay's wife came to Baghdad on a special plane specially for marriage, which is probably the first time in the world.
Although Qusay prefers Western weddings and wants his bride to marry him in a beautiful wedding dress, at a time like this, it is necessary to pay attention to Arab customs, so the marriage ceremony is also very complicated.
Of course, if it were to be in full accordance with tradition, Sarah would have to stay alone in a room for a month, with no contact with outsiders except her family. She carefully selected from the precious jewelry, perfumes, silks and other items sent from Iraq to make her dowry.
And, most importantly, Sarah needs to apply herself from head to toe every day with traditional oils and perfumes. In this way, on the day of marriage, the people will be able to smell her fragrance from a long distance.
In reality, it is impossible for Sarah to have so much time, so these steps have been greatly simplified, and the fine perfume that Sarah brought from France, only a few drops, can have the same effect. {{}}
Moreover, Abdullah said that he only liked her natural smell, which was a natural body odor of her.
Sitting in the car that greeted her from the airport, Sarah looked at the red sè painted pattern on her hands, which had been painted last night, and a large string of bracelets on her arms, and her heart was filled with sweet feelings.
Almost ten years ago, when Sarah met Abdullah for the first time, he was still a man fighting on the battlefield and walked on the battlefield of Iran and Iraq, and now, in just ten years, the entire Middle East world has undergone earth-shaking changes, all of which have been made under the leadership of Abdullah, a hero.
The biggest hero in the entire Middle East world is Qusay-Abdullah! He is the idol of many young girls, and now, she is finally married to this man.
For Abdullah, Sarah also contributed a lot, at her age, in Saudi Arabia, she is already a mother of several children, and now, she is still working hard for a multinational company like Osheng Company. Because, Abdullah needs! As long as Abdullah needs it, she will do her best to help him achieve it. {{}}
According to the traditional ceremony, there is also a camel riding competition, and now, although Qusay did not propose it, there are still many Iraqi boys who spontaneously carry their camels and have a race here, and they use this way to grace the president's wedding.
In Sarah's send-off procession, the most prominent is Saudi Arabia's Minister of Defense Prince Sultan, such a Saudi prince came to send off the Saudi princess, which shows the grandeur of the wedding.
At the same time, as a friendly country of Iraq, many surrounding Arab countries, sent important figures.
Prince Fahd of Kuwait, the prince of Jordan, diplomats from Syria, etc., congratulated President Qusay in advance at the Palace of the Republic.
Western journalists, too, hold their own cameras, waiting for that precious moment to come.
When night fell, it was dark all around, but at this time, the Holloman Air Force Base began to be busy, and the people in the base, basically their biological clocks had been turned over, and they were used to this kind of nocturnal life.
The door of the hangar was opened, and five angular planes were pushed out of the hangar, their dark sci-fi shape, and the peculiar tail at the tail were all showing their identity, the latest stealth attack aircraft developed by the United States!
Since the aircraft were handed over to the 49th Fighter Wing, the pilots here have loved and hated them.
Before flying this kind of aircraft, the 49th Fighter Wing was equipped with F-15 fighters, which are real fighters, and they are the favorite planes of men in the blue sky, and they can fly in the sky at will, showing their majesty.
However, the aircraft equipped now have almost no big maneuverability, although they are also numbered F, but they are an attack aircraft that is not even as good as the aircraft starting with A, it does not have any air combat capabilities, and it does not even have the ability to defend itself, and it cannot even use a Sidewinder missile.
However, it also has something that pilots like, flying on this kind of plane, it is very safe, they fly at any altitude, in any airspace, and no one will detect them, Panama does not react, even the Soviet Air Force, there is no reaction.
Their kind of aircraft, xing energy is very good, in the technical manual, the radar scattering cross-sectional area directly opposite, only 0.01, what level is this? It's a pilot's helmet, and it's bigger than that!
Thanks to its angular shape, anti-shè radar waves, and at the same time, the use of special absorbing materials, they did this, although this aircraft looks about the size of the F-15, but, on the enemy's radar, it does not leave any traces.
Looking at the cockpit canopy with jagged edges, and at the combined cockpit glass with a gold film on the surface to counter the shè radar waves, Pilot Oakes checked the plane around the plane and strode into the plane from the ladder.
With the opening of several switches, Oakes imported the mission into the on-board computer, including the most important target coordinate information.
He was followed by a ground crew who helped him fasten his seatbelt and keep food properly placed next to him for the journey.
This time, it will be a long flight, nearly 20 hours in a single-seat aircraft, which is a test of the pilots' physical strength and endurance, and the food prepared for them is the same food as the astronauts, small in size and high in calorific value.
They were to maintain radio silence almost throughout the flight. Such a voyage is very boring. However, each of them did not take this flight lightly, because it was a very important mission!
Although they had already flown over the USSR many times, however, those were ordinary flights, without any hostile actions, and this time, they went to drop bombs.
They don't worry about being discovered by the other party, they are very confident in their aircraft, and the only thing they need to worry about is the test of a long-distance flight.
The canopy was closed, the two F404 engines in the rear started in turn, and after checking the various instruments, Oaks released the brakes and slid down the track. (To be continued.)
