The Yak-38, a complete pit dad, the Soviets arranged it on the Kiev-class aircraft carrier, and did not solve various problems such as tail flame burning on the deck of the aircraft carrier, insufficient engine performance at high temperatures, short patrol radius, etc., when in the mid-eighties, it left the warship, went to land use, and in the early nineties, it was decommissioned.

This aircraft is not as practical as the Harrier, at least the Harrier can increase the range by taking off shortly, and the Harrier has only one engine, and the complexity is greatly reduced.

Of course, the current Americans do not know so much, for them this is an advanced carrier-based fighter equipped by the Soviets, shrouded in mystery.

Now, the arrival of this Yak-38, for Mhammad, is mainly used to bargain with the Americans, the Americans absolutely want this thing, and last time the Americans actually dared to fool Mhammad, which made Mhammad very angry, at that time Mhammad had no other way, protesting was definitely useless, so endured, now, with this Yak-38, Mhammad must come out of the hands of the Americans, and then come out of some good things.

As soon as the Americans left, Mhammad's play was over, Mhammad sat on the sidelines, chatting with Osama, in recent times, the battle of the Free Army of Afghanistan has been quite smooth, although it has suffered losses at times, in general, except for those big cities, the countryside in northern Afghanistan is almost the domain of the Afghan Freedom Party.

"It's time for us to establish a base." "In the base areas, we will establish our own government while continuing to promote our policies," Mhammad said. There's never been a better time. ”

The experience of Jinggangshan is all over the world, and the current battlefield in Afghanistan is also the same, the time is ripe for the city is still Soviet, the vast countryside. But it is the territory of the Afghan Liberal Party, and a government that conforms to the will of the people should also be established in due course, and when the Soviet Union is ousted, this government will have a legitimate opportunity to enter the Afghan political arena at the same time.

"Yes, Lord Mhammad. I'll talk to the three regiment leaders when I go back. "It's the best place to be in the northern mountains of Jalalabad, where we are old and easily accessible," Osama said. ”

Muhammad nodded, and continued to discuss with Osama, and before he knew it, it was late at night.

The base was already silent, and under the personal command of Muhammad, Osama carried a truckload of goods. Leave the base and go on a new mission.

Mhammad returned to his office and continued to take care of some things, and by the time he was ready to go home, it was already dawn.

Continuing to hang the Americans, it's better to simply not show up himself, Mhammad knew that this trick to get away with it would be very interesting to play, so. He got into his own car and went back to his home in Peshawar.

Lilith is a woman with strong desires. If I go back this time, I will definitely ask for it, but fortunately, I haven't been very tired recently, otherwise, the man's majesty will be gone.

Who knows, when the car stops. Mhammad looked at the vehicles of the US Embassy parked outside, and Mhammad suddenly scratched his head, is the efficiency of Americans so high?

When did these people learn the same way as the Orientals? Let's start with my wife? With a smile on his face, Mhammad entered his home.

Really. The American ambassador Lord and John were at Mhammad's house, watching Mhammad come back, the two were more embarrassed, in front of them, there were several packs of gifts, all for Lilith, and Lilith was looking at those gifts at this time, happy to close her mouth.

Seeing Mhammad come in, Lilith rushed over: "Honey, you have come just in time, to see our friend, who has brought me so many gifts. ”

Lord and John were even more embarrassed, which was actually a bit of a bribe.

"Thank you, thank you, my wife likes it very much." Mhammad said.

Originally, the two gave Lilith a gift, first let Lilith blow the wind in her ears, talk about the friendship between the two countries, and then come to visit Mhammad to discuss the matter of the Yak-38. And now that they have all met, while Lilith is happy, she can still say some good things on the side, Lord thought about it and said to Mhammad: "Your Excellency Mhammad, we are here this time to discuss with you about the two E-2 early warning planes last time. ”

The Americans are not stupid, they naturally know where Mhammad is competing with the United States, and those two AWACS planes, which are almost scrapped, have made Mhammad suffer a loss, and now since the United States still has needs, he can only make friendly gestures.

Therefore, Lord did not mention the Yak-38, but first mentioned the AWACS.

"Oh?" Mhammad raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"In order to help our friendly Pakistan, especially in the face of the ultra-low-altitude invasion of the Soviets, our President agreed to upgrade the two E-2 AWACS aircraft that were given to your country free of charge. Including the replacement of APS-120 radar, the installation of a set of Litton's AN/ALR-59 passive detection system, the replacement of the T-56-A-425 engine with improved performance, and the reinforcement of the fuselage, after the upgrade, except for the identification device of friend or foe is different from China's active early warning aircraft, the rest have reached the level of E-2C, and have the ability to detect complex mountains on land, which is the best choice for the Pakistan Air Force. Lord said.

"Thank you very much for the help of our American friends." "On behalf of the fighters on the front line, I would like to thank my American friends for their help," Mhammad said. ”

"The Yak-38?" John asked.

"What Yak-38?" Mhammad asked, "Mr. John, have you ever seen such an aircraft?" ”

John suddenly remembered that Mhammad had told him that this was a secret that could not be divulged casually, and in principle, even the U.S. government could not know about it.

But... This is clearly an excuse, he is an American, let himself see, that is naturally to let the Americans know, John couldn't help but say: "Your Excellency Mhammad, we have reported to the president, it is because of this Yak-38 that we decided to upgrade you..."

"John, it's time for us to go." Lord interrupted John, "Chief of Staff Mhammad has just returned, and there must be something to say to Ms. Lilith, we are too disturbing. ”

Lord said goodbye to Mhammad in a friendly manner, and took John with him, and came out of the room.

"Mr. Ambassador, why don't you let me say that?" John asked him a little puzzled, "What if this Mhammad pretends to be confused for us again..."

"I believe that this Mr. Mhammad is sensible, he is just angry with us because of the E-2 AWACS aircraft, as long as we do what we should do well, this Mr. Mhammad will agree." Lord said. Besides, there is no need anymore, this Mhammad is just lying willfully, simply upgrading the AWACS aircraft first, plus Lilith said peace from it, Mhammad should be able to distinguish the severity.

After all, Pakistan needs the support of the United States, and the interests of both sides are aligned.

"Mr. Ambassador, you have no idea how cunning this Mhammad is, he is like a treacherous businessman." John said that he remembered how Mhammad had lowered the price of Grumman when he was in the United States, and Grumman had planned to make money in the process of later maintenance, but now, every time the transaction was made, the United States was at a disadvantage, and John was very unconfident.

Closing the door, Mhammad looked at Lilith, who was still delighted.

"Lilith, are you going to help them as lobbyists?" Mhammad asked Lilith.

"Of course not, I'll fool them with you." Lilith said, "Honey, I have always been your man. ”

Lilith looked at Mhammad with sincere eyes, her lips pursed.

A cold snap swept through Central and South Asia, and Peshawar Air Base was very cold.

The hangar was not tightly sealed, and there were many gaps leaking, but even so, it could not resist the enthusiasm of the technicians.

Compared to the Soviet Union, which was constantly researching new models, the United States more often extended the aircraft family by constantly upgrading the aircraft, and when the new engines were replaced, the flight performance of the E-2 was greatly improved.

The radar on the back of the aircraft, as well as the electronic systems in the fuselage, were also dismantled and replaced, in fact, this is no different from a new AWACS aircraft, except for the body, all the equipment is new.

Because of the new electronic system, the increase in heat has been increased, and the aircraft has also made an opening in the back of the aircraft to increase the cooling capacity.

Seeing that the E-2 AWACS aircraft was upgraded to the E-2C, Mhammad was overjoyed.

In half a month, the AWACS aircraft completed the upgrade, and now, it was pulled out of the hangar and parked on the runway.

The personnel on board were all drawn from the Pakistan Air Force, and they formed Pakistan's first airborne early warning force.

"Hawkeye One asks to take off." The pilot was on the radio, reporting to the tower that this was the first test flight of the modification.

"You can take off." Arslan said on the radio, he put down the radio, looked through the glass of the Guò tower, and looked at the AWACS plane parked on the runway.

Mushroom plate early warning aircraft, the symbol of the air force of a strong country!

Two T-56-A-425 engines, bursting out with more than 5,000 horsepower, drove the propellers in front of them, and quickly glided on the runway.

Take off! Take off! The personnel on Air Police No. 1 were also very excited, and in accordance with the training in the United States, they turned on the control station in front of them and began to test the performance of the early warning aircraft.

In addition to the two flight personnel in front, there are three early warning personnel sitting in the rear cabin, radar officer, combat control officer and air traffic control officer, in front of them, there is a large display screen, when the radar is working normally, they are staring at the screen in front of them.
