Soviet, Moscow.

"Andrey, I haven't been back to Moscow for a long time." André's side, Lyudmila whispered: "This is the capital of our great motherland, there are many places of interest, if you want, I will show you around, how about it?" ”

Listening to Lyudmila's words, Andrei's heart was warm, although his eyes were dark, but his heart was as calm as water, he had struggled, hesitated, and now, finally regained his calm.

Perhaps, this is a test, I will definitely get through this test, and here, I have also gained love.

Lyudmila insisted on marrying Andrei despite everyone's opposition, and if Andrei could not regain his sight, then he was willing to be his eyes for the rest of his life.

Lyudmila knew that she had fallen hopelessly in love with the hero.

After a simple wedding ceremony in Vladivostok, Lyudmila began her honeymoon with Andrei, first of all, to return to Moscow, just in time for the October Revolution military parade, because Andrei fought heroically, because Andrei has been awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, so Andrei is eligible to participate in this parade, when he will stand on Red Square, wearing sunglasses, even if he can't see everything around him clearly, he can feel the atmosphere.

It's the honor he deserves.

At the same time, it is possible to check it up at the best ophthalmology hospital in Moscow, in case there is still hope?

Lyudmila was firm in her choice, and now, the train has finally entered the station.

Pulling Andrei, Lyudmila got off the train, and on the platform outside, Lyudmila saw familiar faces.

"Sister Irina, I didn't expect you to come over in person." Lyudmila took her sister's hand and said happily.

"I'm here to take you home, this is Comrade Andre, right? Well, it looks good, but it's a pity..."

Before he finished a few words, he was stopped by Lyudmila: "Sister, let's go home." ”

"It's a pity that I'm blind, but though I can't see with my eyes, I can still serve the Soviets." Andrei said: "I will not give up. ”

"Andrey, no one said anything about your eyes." Lyudmila said: "Shall we go home?" ”

"I want to go to the Territorial Defense Force Command." Andrei said, "You guys go back first." ”

"I'll take you with me." Lyudmila looked at her sister and apologized.

Irina was also very embarrassed and said, "Then let's go together." ”

"By the way?"

"By the way, of course."

The car drove for more than an hour, Andre was constantly thinking, at this time Andre would already control his emotions, just now he didn't have any annoyance, just he thought of something.

The MiG-25 has already leaked, and the MiG-25's operation to intercept the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft has also failed, so for the Soviets, the MiG-25 is no longer a sword in the hands of the Soviets.

Before the era of the Su-27 arrived, the only way to protect the sky of the Soviets was a better interceptor than the MiG-25, which was the MiG-31!

Andrei heard some voices, inquiries from the sentry at the door, and then let him go.

It seems that this Irina sister's identity is not ordinary, with such a big authority? Even if it's yourself, it's not easy to get in.

While sitting in his chair, a few minutes later, Andrei heard a sound of footsteps.

"Comrade Andrey, we all know your deeds, and you are the pride of our territorial air defense force." An old general walked in: "I am the commander of the Territorial Defense Forces, Alexander Ivanovich Kordinov, Air Force Commander. ”

"Commander!" Andrei was immediately excited: "It's nice to meet you, no, to hear your voice." ”

"Sit down." Coach Alexander patted Andrei on the shoulder, and then sat next to him: "You came this time, what's the matter?" Shouldn't you be on your honeymoon? ”

"Commander, in recent months, we have achieved a lot, however, some problems have also been exposed, especially the defection of the odious traitor Belenko, so that our MiG-25 has no secrets in front of the enemy." Andrei said: "With our current fighters, it is difficult to intercept the Blackbird, so I suggest that we upgrade the MiG-25 to make it more powerful." ”

Andrey can't say the MiG-31 directly, after all, this is still a secret development model.

"How do I level up?" Coach Alexander looked at Andre with great interest.

"The current fighter is too fuel-intensive, and it should be upgraded to a turbofan engine, which can allow the fighter to have a larger range." Andrei said: "At the same time, the most important thing to improve is avionics, our avionics system is too poor, the EP-3 has been studied by us for a long time, our scientific and technological personnel, should also come up with some results, right?" There are also missile systems, and we urgently need missiles similar to those of the Immortal Bird, so that the fighter has the ability to kill at a distance of 100 kilometers. ”

Alexander nodded: "Andrey, this was originally a secret, but now I can tell you, our improvement plan has started a long time ago, and now it is accelerating test flights, and the new project code name is the MiG-31, which is basically improved according to your ideas." ”

The MiG-31, a new generation of Soviet interceptors, was planned two years ago, and after many studies, it was finally determined to be an enlarged version of the MiG-25.

Although the appearance is almost the same, it is a layout with two hairs and two vertical tails, and the air intakes are similar, but in fact, they are already detached.

Structurally, the amount of titanium used in the MiG-31 has increased from 8% to 16% in the MiG-25, and aluminum has increased from 12% to 33%. The engines were changed from two Tumansky R-15 turbojets to two Soloviev D-14,886 turbofan engines with an afterburner thrust of 30 kg.

In terms of thrust-to-weight ratio and aerodynamic shape, the MiG-31 should be able to reach 3 times the speed of sound, but due to the heat resistance of the engine and airframe, the maximum speed is limited to Mach 2.8. With a range of 3,000 kilometers with four R-33 missiles and a range of 3,000 kilometers at Mach 0.8, this fighter can even fly directly to the east of the island nation if deployed in the Far East!

At the same time, from that EP-3, I did gain a lot, and domestic technicians finally began to pay attention to the role of integrated circuits, instead of always holding the tube and not letting go.

After Andrei lost his sight, he was still concerned about killing the enemy, and he proposed to use nuclear bombs to kill the enemy's reconnaissance plane, which made the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft force converge a lot, and until now, no Blackbird has come to make trouble.

At the same time, after returning to Moscow for his honeymoon, Andrei first went to the headquarters of the Territorial Defense Forces to make proposals to improve the MiG-25, which satisfied Alexander.

If he hadn't been blind, he would have continued to be promoted, which is a pity.
