"Okay, we're agreeing to your request." Brigadier General Watson said that just bombing the nuclear bases of the Indians does not need too much, a few are enough, and there is no need to worry about the Pakistanis abusing them.

"We also need two more KC-130 tankers." Mhammad continued: "You can choose to modify it for us, or it can be a brand new tanker. ”

Even the Tomcat fighter had a long enough range to attack the Indian nuclear base in Mumbai, and it had to go through an in-flight refueling, which involved tankers.

The KC-130 is an air tanker developed on the basis of the C-130 transport aircraft, and the hose refueling method can provide 24 tons of fuel, and the two can meet the air refueling needs of the Pakistan Air Force. The C-130 can be equipped with fuel tanks inside the interior, fuel pipes on the wings, or a model that is exclusively refueled from the factory.

"If you have the funds, we can sell you two, if you don't have enough money, then we can only modify them." Brigadier General Watson said.

"Then we choose to buy." "We also need your intelligence support, satellite maps of the area, Indian Navy sorties," Mhammad said. Distribution of radar stations in the vicinity. ”

Sneak attack on Mumbai, most of the time, is flying on the coast, you must pay attention to the situation along the coast, in case the Indians find out, send fighter planes to intercept, your own attack will fail.

"We can deliver." Brigadier General Watson said.

When it was heard that the Indians' nuclear reactors were going to be bombed, the United States did everything in its power to equip Pakistan, and this was an act in the interests of the United States.

With the consent of the U.S. side, Grumman immediately airlifted parts to modify Pakistan's F-14 fighters.

The Jianliu Sixth Repair Plant was lively again.

The focus is on avionics and radar upgrades. The antenna of the AWG-9 radar is still in its original state, and the circuit board behind the antenna has been removed from the nose piece by piece, and the new digital circuit board has been replaced.

Mhammad watched the hard-working Grumman technicians at work. I can't help but be very satisfied.

"General Mhammad, you are welcome to visit." John was directing the modification next to a fighter plane, and when he saw Mhammad appear in front of him, he immediately came over to greet him.

"Well, this modification involves our counterattack against the Indians, please make sure the quality of the modification." Mhammad said.

"Of course, it is completely in accordance with your technical requirements, combined with our own strength. Retrofitted. John said to Mhammad: "The APG-71 radar, the new on-board computer, avionics, and the instruments in the cockpit have also been replaced with new ones, as well as the AN/ASW27C two-way data number JÙCHAIN and the AN/AL-1 tactical camera reconnaissance system that you requested, we will install them in place for you." ”

The improvement of the Tomcat fighter was approved by the US Congress, and the specific modification details. It was Grumman who negotiated with the Pakistani side when they learned of Mhammad's needs. Grumman has even included these two things in the scope of improvement.

As a powerful air supremacy fighter, the Tomcat has a very practical function, that is, when the local radar is silent, the radar officer in the back seat can obtain the 8 targets found by its radar from other F14 fighters that are powered on and searched through the Guòan/ASW27 two-way data number chain. This means that the F14 fleet can share intelligence information with each other, and even conduct air situation control and command similar to the MiG-31.

But. At the beginning, this kind of number chain was not well developed, and the initial A model needed to be transferred through the GuòE2-C AWACS aircraft before it could be used. This has greatly reduced the actual combat effectiveness, and now, Grumman has developed the latest C model of the AN/ASW27 bidirectional digital Jù chain. This new model of the number chain abandons the condition that the F14 fighter must be transferred through the GuòE2-C AWACS aircraft when communicating with multiple aircraft. Even without AWACS support. Four F14 fighters can also form a temporary network, which gives the Tomcat the ability to act as a small AWACS aircraft at any time!

Other countries are very backward, such as the Eastern countries, which were only acquired after entering the new century and introducing Su-30MKK fighters from Russia. In terms of practical application, this kind of number exchange capability between aircraft groups will greatly expand the diversity and selectivity of the HNA or Air Force in completing specific tactical tasks.

For example, with the AN/ASW27C type JÙ chain, the Pakistan Air Force can take off an F14 fighter jet that only carries standard air superiority weapons as a small early warning aircraft, and master the air situation to command other types of fighters such as F14, F16, and A7.

And now, the MiG-29 fighter is already equipped with three fire control systems, radar, the OEPS29 optoelectronic system and a helmet-mounted sight. In fact, the light spot system is not the patent of the Soviets, and the Tomcat fighter at this time is equipped with the AN/ALR-23 infrared detection system as standard, and the detection distance of this system for the afterburner aircraft is about 40 kilometers, far exceeding the OEPS29 optoelectronic system of the MiG-29. But the problem of false alarms often arises, so the US Navy does not rate them highly.

In the later production of the F14A fighter, the AN/ALR-23 infrared detection system was replaced by the AN/AL-1 tactical camera reconnaissance system. Since the Pakistan Air Force is equipped with an earlier model, the original infrared detection system is still used.

The core of the AN/AL-1 tactical camera reconnaissance system is a long-range optical television, which can automatically search for and identify air targets within more than 90 kilometers of the aircraft in clear weather, and then display it on the flat panel display in the F14 cockpit.

With these two systems, when Pakistan unites with the technicians of the Eastern countries to digest and absorb them, they can combine these two systems into a set of photoelectric radar!

Mhammad nodded, very satisfied with Grumman's support.

"Do we have any other means of defending against the R-73 missiles of the Soviets?" Mhammad said that this missile, combined with the outstanding maneuverability of the MiG-29, in close combat, the Tomcat fighter does not take much advantage, and it completely depends on the pilot's Su zhì, and almost all of the Tomcat fighters lost by his side are due to this missile.

Even in later generations, when East and West Germany merged, and the Americans came into contact with this kind of fighter, they fought with the F-16, but in the close range, the F-16 had no chance and was locked again and again.

This one... John thought about it, this big off-axis combat bomb was something that Grumman did not expect, and Grumman was only responsible for developing the airframe, and the missile was a product of Raysien, and had nothing to do with him.

How to defend against R-73 missiles? In addition to the infrared decoy, it seemed that there was something else coming, and John's mind kept thinking about it, and finally came up with one.

"Perhaps, we can use xenon lamps." John said.

Xenon lamps? Hearing this, Muhammad paused for a moment, isn't this thing often used in car headlights in later generations? A lot of car owners, think their lights are not bright enough, they deliberately rectify this thing, the xenon lamp of the low beam is also counted, especially even the high beam is modified together, and the kind that does not add lenses, it is simply a killing tool, when it is turned on, the driver who shines on the opposite side can not open his eyes at all, which greatly increases the probability of accidents, and those car owners are still complacent, and do not know such a danger. For example, if a large truck on the opposite side is blinded and collides, it will definitely be a loss for the driver of the car.

At this time, the headlights of the car, mainly bulbs, there is no such thing as xenon lamps, such a tall thing is used in airplanes!

In the early 80s, in order to deal with infrared-guided missile attacks, the United States had already developed an active defense device integrated with the infrared/radar warning device of the fighter, using a high-power xenon lamp to irradiate the seeker of the attacking missile, and burning through the optoelectronic device of the seeker to make it harmless.

At this time, the R-73 was still using a single-phase infrared scanner, which was illuminated by the xenon lamp protection device and burned through in an instant. It's just that this device is too power-intensive and can only protect the rear hemisphere, so the United States prefers to equip this thing on passenger planes.

After listening to John's introduction, Muhammad nodded: "Don't be afraid of Fei Dian, the fighters we give us are equipped with this kind of device!" ”

Anyway, this is finally a device against the R-73 missile, and later, at the last moment, put the chrysanthemum at the missile, and then shine like this, hum! Let the R-73 missiles eat!

The Tomcat fighters, which have just been equipped with the troops for a year, have been improved on a large scale, which is simply pure money-burning behavior, it seems that after Pakistan occupied Srinagar, its stomach immediately bulged, and a Kashmir valley can fill the stomachs of half of Pakistan's territory! As a result, Pakistan has more financial resources to carry out these projects.

Just as Pakistan began to improve the Tomcat fleet on a large scale for its next move, in the cold north, the huge polar bear empire was also undergoing an improvement.

Mikoyan Design Bureau.

At present, half of the world's skies are filled with MiG fighters, and this name is the first letter of the surnames of the founders of the Mikoyan Design Bureau, A-I. Mikoyan and Mi-I. Glevich. And the full name of the Mikoyan Design Bureau is "Mikoyan-Grevich Design Bureau". (To be continued......)

ps:ps: I have to go back to my hometown in the past two days, more than 700 kilometers back and forth, I'm very sorry, I will have two shifts every day in the past two days, thank you for your understanding and support!
