Originally, the focus of the Soviet Union was on Europe, and no matter what advanced weapons were, they were always equipped with European ones first, such as T-80 tanks and MiG-29 fighters.

But now, the situation has changed, due to the skies over Afghanistan, the Soviet Union has an absolute disadvantage, and several air battles have ended in failure, so the Soviet Union has changed its strategy, and new fighters are prepared for the Afghan battlefield!

Now, the improvement of the MiG-29 has ended, at the request of the Soviet Air Force, the Mikoyan Design Bureau has carried out a large number of rectifications, the process of launching R-73 combat bullets has also been simplified, many have been replaced by automated devices, at the same time, the Su-27 This advanced fighter has also been manufactured, and with it equipped with troops, it will completely compete with Tomcat fighters for air supremacy!

"What is the main weapon of this fighter?" Air Marshal Yefimov continued.

"Mainly our R-73 combat bullets and R-27 medium-range bullets." Simonov said: "Among them, the R-73 missile has demonstrated strong combat capabilities on the battlefield in Afghanistan, and the American AIM-9L combat missile is not as advanced as ours at all, and with our helmet sight and optoelectronic system, it can make the Tomcat fighter in close combat, unable to get the slightest advantage." The R-27 missile is our newly developed medium-range missile, which surpasses the performance of the French 530D and the American AIM-7M Sparrow, and our missiles exceed the equipment of the Pakistan Air Force. ”

"What about the remote side?" Air Marshal Yefimov said: "The Tomcat fighters are equipped with immortal bird missiles, which can attack us at a long range, do we have corresponding long-range missiles?" ”

Long-range missiles? There are R-33 missiles, which are hung on the MiG-31, but. This kind of missile needs to be supported by advanced radar, and only the perverted and expensive phased array radar on the MiG-31 can support the launch of this missile, and the radar on the Su-27, although the detection range of bomber targets exceeds 200 kilometers. However, for a target with a reflection area of 3 square meters, the effective detection range will not exceed 80 km, and at such a distance, in the process of preparing for the launch of the missile, it is already in the range of a medium-range missile.

Moreover, the weight of the R-33, more than half a ton! Due to the constant weight loss of hypochondriasis, the maximum payload capacity of the Su-27. It is not more than four tons, and when two R-33s are hung, the maneuverability of the carrier aircraft will be dragged down even more, and no maneuvering maneuvers can be done except for level flight. It was not until the later Su-27SK that it was improved to eight tons of plug-in capacity.

However, this qiē cannot be said, the Su-27 has been developed for so many years. If they can't join the military yet, they're the engineers. Will suffer the wrath of the top!

"We now have only one R-33, which is equipped on the MiG-31, and we hope that the Rainbow Design Bureau can develop a long-range missile specifically for our fighters." Simonov said.

Historically, the Rainbow Design Bureau was developed. It is the KS-172 ultra-long-range missile, which is boosted by a ramjet engine, with a range of more than 300 kilometers, and is specially designed to attack the enemy's AWACS aircraft and other targets, but it is really finalized. It's already the twenty-first century.

The Air Force has to contend not only with the F-15, but also with the F-14 with the Immortal Bird, and there must be corresponding means!

"At the same time as the Su-27 is put into production, the R-33 will be integrated into the Su-27, and we will not be able to wait for new missiles." Said Air Marshal Yefimov.

Integrated R-33? Simonov was shocked, and he could only agree that they had no other choice.

Conformity? Which anchorage can hang more than half a ton? If you have to strengthen the pylon, you have to strengthen the body, and if you strengthen the body, you have to gain weight.

However, no matter how the integration is, at least, this fighter can be considered to be put into production. Sukhoi Design Bureau, finally can breathe a sigh of relief.

Afghanistan, like a heavy burden, constantly dragged down the Soviet Union, however, the Soviet Union could not yet throw away this burden, which meant the declared failure of the military operation at the expense of countless Soviet fighters, and continued to fight, the Soviet Union seemed to have no way to retreat, whether it was weapons or economy.

With the continuous pressure of the United States on the Middle East in the international market, the world crude oil prices continue to be sluggish, the economy on which the Soviet Union relies most for survival, exporting oil, has been constantly losing money, oil exploitation in the permafrost of the plateau, the price is high, now, the crude oil exported by the Soviet Union is lower than the cost of production, but if it is not exported, those oil workers will be unemployed, and the Soviet Union has to resettle those workers, no matter how they choose, it is very difficult.

Therefore, the Soviet Union is now only maintaining the status quo in Afghanistan, and how to deal with the nascent northern Afghan regime is not a matter for Chernenko, but for his next term.

However, the Soviet garrison did not tolerate the insurgent southern Afghanistan.

The north is already enough for the 40th Army to have a headache, and if there is another major turmoil in the south, the Soviet garrison will really have nowhere to go.

MiG-23, Su-17, Mi-24, BMP infantry fighting vehicles, BTR wheeled fighting vehicles, as well as large numbers of Soviet troops and Afghan government troops, began the strangulation of the partisans in the south.

The southern guerrillas, all relying on Iranian aid, could not have air cover at all, they were constantly retreating, and there was almost no way to escape.

The Soviets' attacks were quite sharp, and the guerrillas seemed to have been betrayed by traitors, and they had just fled to a village, and within half an hour, the Soviet helicopters had arrived.

The Soviets used harsh means to suppress the guerrillas in the south, and soon the armed forces of the coalition were in a position of disgrace, and it was only a matter of time before they were completely wiped out.

The war affected many villages, and those who sympathized with the guerrillas were often wiped out entirely, which made the local Afghan people hate the Soviets at the same time, but also yearn for the Liberal regime in the north.

I heard that they have mined a lot of mines and are now living very rich!

After hearing about it constantly, some people couldn't hold back and couldn't live anymore, so they decided to quietly move to the territory controlled by the Liberal Party in the north, where they could find a job and support their families.

Islamabad.

A bearded man who was dusty and entered Islamabad and entered the presidential palace.

"Your Excellency Mhammad, I'm here." The bearded man walked into Mhammad's office and shouted very kindly.

"Osama!" Seeing the person coming from the other side, Mhammad was also very excited: "Come back so soon? ”

"yes, the South doesn't need our help anymore." Osama said: "Those guys are so indifferent, they were all crippled by the Soviets, if it weren't for our plan, I would really want to help them." ”

Osama, of course, understood the spirit of action of Mhammad, and those guys of the southern guerrillas, under the control of the eight-party alliance, could not cooperate with the Liberal government in the north, and the complicated war in Afghanistan was caused by too many parties, so these people needed to be eliminated.

Rather than driving out the Soviet Union and starting a civil war in the future, it is better to completely eradicate them now, with the help of the Soviets.

Togetherness can unite the forces? The current Free Afghan Army is already very powerful, it doesn't need those people at all, it can independently sweep away the current Afghan puppet government, and it can deal a heavy blow to the Soviet army, they don't need the power of the south, if they let the power of the south sit big, it will bring more trouble in the future.

However, looking at those Soviets, Osama had itchy hands, and under the sign of the southern partisans, Osama eliminated many Soviet troops.

Now, the fighting in the south is fierce, and the Soviets are determined to wipe out all the forces in the south.

And at this time, there is no need for Osama's team to stir up any more trouble, and Osama, receiving news from Mhammad, came to Pakistan.

"Osama, I have called you here this time for another important task." Mhammad said.

Osama pricked up his ears, he loved the task, the more important and difficult the task, the more he liked it, and the time spent in the office of the free government was suffocating him.

"What task?" Osama said.

"Go to Iran again, contact the spiritual leaders, and the Americans will send them weapons." Mhammad said.

Last time in the United States, Mhammad promised to fish out the Americans who had been kidnapped by Lebanese extremist groups.

Even if it is an ordinary American citizen, the president of the United States has to save it, not to mention that the first American to be kidnapped is the first secretary of the US Embassy in Lebanon and the head of the CIA's Beirut station, Buckley.

This guy was born in the CIA, and he was kidnapped by terrorists, so he was really kicked in the head by a donkey.

Moreover, six more Americans have been kidnapped, and the current Reagan administration is very big.

The kidnappers offered the United States Government three conditions for the release of the hostages: the release of 17 prisoners who had been imprisoned by the Government of Kuwait in 1983 for their involvement in the planning and attack on the United States Embassy in Kuwait; The U.S. government exerted pressure on Israel to release Palestinians and Lebanese detained by Israel and the South Lebanese Army; Loans for the development of southern Lebanon.

None of these conditions can be accepted by the US Government, and the US Government cannot compromise with the terrorists, otherwise, as soon as this is opened, those terrorists will use the method of kidnapping Americans to blackmail the United States in the future, and the United States will have no prestige. However, the Reagan administration must not come to the rescue, otherwise, it will follow Carter's old path, and now, the US election is about to start again. (To be continued......)
