If it weren't for the 14 Exocet anti-ship missiles ordered from France, only 5 would have arrived.

The Royal Navy will have five or six escort warships sinking into the icy South Atlantic, and Mrs. Gassa will have to die.

The Argentine Air Force has long used Western fighters and has accumulated considerable experience, especially with French fighters.

After being betrayed by the West, Buenos Aires decided to join the coalition camp.

However, the large-scale replacement of Soviet-based weapons is still an insurmountable difficulty for the Afghan army in a short period of time.

When the Argentine Air Force pilots flew the Mirage-2000 last year, they spoke highly of it.

The test pilot's report attracted the attention of the Argentine Air Force, which then asked the government to support its procurement plan.

At the beginning of this year, Buenos Aires submitted an application for the purchase of 24 of these fighters.

However, Franco-Soviet relations were still unclear at that time, and the document was kept on hold by Moscow.

Now with this opportunity, all the processes involved in the sale of these fighters can be made sense.

"This ......"

The head of the fraternal country is a little embarrassed, and this offer has the meaning of a rising tide.

Rising by 50% all of a sudden, it is inevitable that some strong people will find it difficult, but everyone is also a brotherhood!

The most important thing is that the group didn't bring so much procurement funds on this trip.

"But we also took into account the current situation, so there is a compromise plan, which is 10 million US dollars in cash or gold, plus 10 million US dollars worth of agricultural products, I think this should be a mutually acceptable proposal!"

Tarasov knew that he was selling second-hand goods, but he also had to see what grade of second-hand goods he was selling.

Even if you compare it, the second-hand "Mirage" is much more combat-effective than the F-16A / B that is newly rolled off the assembly line in the United States!

The deputy general manager didn't say that the batch of fighters sold by the alliance to Argentina came with enough "Exocet" anti-ship missiles to knock out an aircraft carrier battle group!

The Air Force generals flown in from Buenos Aires signed the same 1+1 clause, and the Pampas cowboys still see themselves as beneficiaries.

Of course, there are also outstanding cases of local tyrants buying in full, such as the Iraqi Air Force, which has used the "Mirage"-F1 fighter.

In order to win the Iran-Iraq war, Uncle Sa made a generous move and purchased seventy-two "Mirage"-2000 planes for his troops at one time!

Including weapons, spare parts, and spare engines, the unit price is 20 million US dollars, and the total contract value is 1.44 billion US dollars!

This is a completely acceptable price for the "Babylon Lion", because it is all in stock, and it can be shipped to the territory of the country within half a month.

“…… I beg your pardon, I have to report the situation to my superiors! ”

If the quotation changes, the head of the regiment cannot make his own decisions, and he must ask for instructions.

Viciously coaxed by Wall Street and the Federal Reserve, the price of gold in the international market is now $30 million per tonne.

The deep-pocketed South African government also came up with the idea of a new fighter, and after seeing the cockpit of the "Mirage", they began to be no longer satisfied with the MiG-29.

Although they already have the Typhoon, the problem is that the fighter is so advanced that it is difficult for pilots to quickly grasp the essentials.

Therefore, the South African Air Force strongly demanded the purchase of the "Mirage"-2000, which could at least be used to make up for the huge technological gap between the MiG-29 and the "Typhoon".

One ton of gold can buy two advanced fighters, and twenty-four only cost twelve tons of gold.

For gold-rich South Africa, this is not a problem at all.

What's more, it is available from stock, which is very tempting for the white uncles in Africa.

Less than a week after the Sentinel defense show began, the South African Air Force became the fourth user of the Mirage-2000, if not counting the country of origin.

Seeing that what Tarasov said was true, one tyrant country after another, and even the farmer was lining up to sign a contract.

The fraternal countries finally couldn't bear it anymore and decided to buy 28 planes, so as not to come from afar to draw water in bamboo baskets.

One hundred and forty-eight "Mirages" were sold in a short period of time, which is really quite an achievement.

For this, the sales team, headed by Tarasov, also received a significant bonus.

The alliance recruited eight retired pilots from the French Air Force to specialize in training.

East Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia and other Eastern European partners also applied for purchase, but they were all rejected one by one.

For the alliance, Argentina, fraternal countries, Iraq, and South Africa are just partners.

The communications and fire control systems of French weapons have historically been unique and completely incompatible with Union equipment.

If the small partners in Eastern Europe use the "Mirage" fighters, it will be difficult to coordinate and command in wartime and peacetime.

They were allies with the Soviet Union, and they used the standard weapons produced by the alliance to facilitate coordinated operations.

The Alliance's Air Force and Air Defense Force have already given birth to a number of American-based combat divisions, and it is impossible to create another batch of French-based troops among the allies, so it is very likely that they will be in chaos without a fight.

With the gradual arrival of the new fighters in place, and with the approval of the big pineapple, the commander of the Air Defense Force, Marshal Kordunov (who was just promoted this year), transferred two regiments each, MiG-23, MiG-27, Su-24 and MiG-29, to assist the Eastern European allies.

Although the avionics system of this batch of "fulcrums" is lagging behind that of the "Mirage"-2000, it is almost ninety percent of new fighters.

The largest aircraft is only two years old, and some are brand new products that have just rolled off the assembly line and have not been in service for a long time.

Over the next three years, the alliance will also support six satellite states to rebuild a defensive barrier in Eastern Europe.

Within the Alliance Air Defense Forces, the ace pilot's car is naturally the F-16Block 60 of the UAE tycoon.

The slightly less capable ones used the F-16Block 50/52 batch, and then the MiG-35 and MiG-29MST.

After flying over the glass-shaped cockpit of the American fighter, there was no longer any interest in the original cargo of the Alliance.

Just looking at the dazzling array of more than a dozen dashboards, it is a bit of a dreamlike feeling......

In contrast, the display is more concise and bright, making it easier to navigate through relevant information.

On the premise of mastering the essentials of the operation as soon as possible and forming combat effectiveness, high-intensity test flights will inevitably lead to a large number of accidents.

In less than three years, the Air Defense Forces have dropped ten Fighting Falcons, and another 18 are being repaired.

But Marshal Kordonov did not care, and the chickens had already promised to replenish them with twenty F-16s for free.

I don't dare to guarantee the specific model, because it depends on what varieties of second-hand young people can find in the last days......

Similar to their situation is the great third brother, the "Typhoon" purchased by New Delhi because it is too advanced.

So much so that after the Indian Air Force lost four golden aircraft, it still could not fully and thoroughly master this fighter.

New Delhi even has plans to return it, hoping to replace the "Typhoon" with the "backward" "Mirage"-2000!

However, considering that the brother countries in the north had already purchased the "Phantom", after some careful consideration, they had to give up for the time being.

On the contrary, it was the "more primitive" MiG-29 that was easy for Indian pilots to master, which made the senior generals of the third brother a little crying and laughing!

Miji's evaluation of this is: The advantage of the third brother is not how advanced the car under the crotch is, but in the ability to repair imported cars from many countries at the same time!

You can't accept this!

"Dong Zhi, the information we have obtained has now been further corroborated by the relevant parties. The next question is how we should deal with our relations with fraternal countries! ”

A few days ago, the bureau provided the big pineapple and the Ministry of Defense with earth-shattering news that agents in Washington learned the secret of the United States' plan to win over fraternal countries to join the NATO bloc.

In order to contain the Warsaw Pact and the Soviet Union, curb the spread of their military power, and slow down the momentum of the giant bear claw threatening the world.

Under the guise of the World Bank, which it controls, the United States provides a billion-dollar low-interest loan to fraternal countries.

It also promised a billion-dollar interest-free loan if the other side agreed to join the NATO bloc.

Not only that, but the European-controlled International Monetary Fund, at the initiative of Uncle Sam, has also opened its doors to it.

Agreed to a $1 billion low-interest loan, with the intention of providing $1 billion interest-free over the next five years.

This is an almost irresistible allure for fraternal countries with foreign exchange reserves of less than $3 billion.

"Join NATO, then they will be led by the nose by the Americans!"

Defense Minister Marshal Akhromeyev, who knows both countries well, does not think that the former little brother will do this.

Joining the NATO bloc, fraternal countries get a lot of big packages.

In the same way, there is also the loss of something that you want to keep.

At the request of the Americans, their troops were to be under the command of Washington in wartime.

Moreover, it is necessary to open military bases to the United States and the member countries of the NATO bloc to accept the presence of US troops.

It is also necessary to procure standard equipment produced in Western countries so that they can fight together in wartime.

In terms of national dignity and military technology, this is difficult for other fraternal countries to accept.

The Chief of the General Staff, Marshal Ogarkov, read the document and slowly spoke: "So what are their conditions now?" This is a great opportunity to raise the price! ”

Everyone here understands that fraternal countries will already use this as a basis to ask the alliance for a sky-high price.

It's like the bosses of two companies are talking about business, and this is the so-called great power game.

Foreign Minister Volotnikov picked up a page of paper full of red lines and read from the book: "Judging from the content of the current summary, as a condition for not joining NATO." The other side asked us to provide us with 100 Su-27 fighters, Mi-24 armed helicopters, and 100 Mi-8 transport helicopters, as well as supporting production lines. Four cruisers of the 'Kresta'-II class and four destroyers of the 'Modern' class, eight conventionally powered submarines of the Project 877 (Kilo class). There are also four billion rubles, or five billion billion dollars in gratuitous economic assistance. ”

After listening to this series of demands, it seems that the other party regards the alliance as a wronged leader, and can extort and extort at will.

The first deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers, Silomantsev, felt that this was more like a whimsical decision: "If the donor is replaced by the United States, they will probably find it difficult for them to accept, right?" ”

If the fraternal countries open their mouths and ask Washington for 100 F-15s, 100 AH-1 Cobras, and UH-60 Black Hawks, four Ticonderoga-class cruisers and four Spruance-class destroyers.

The United States does not produce conventionally powered submarines, so it will be converted into 500 M1 "Abrams" main battle tanks.

I wonder how the owner of the White House will feel when he sees this list?

"They're waiting for us to make a bid!" The second-in-command Aliyev is no stranger to this routine: "With the current status of their Air Force, the MiG-29 is already good enough without the Su-27!" It is not impossible to cut off half, or even two-thirds. ”

The alliance, on its part, does not believe that by replacing the "flanker" with the "fulcrum", the fraternal countries will turn their faces.

No matter how bad the performance of the MiG-29 is, it is much stronger than the J-7 that fights bayonets in the air, right?

Before the installation of Western avionics, the J-7 series, and even the J-8, could only be used for close combat.

The main combat equipment of the air forces of fraternal countries is still at the level of the MiG-21, which is why they are desperate to get new fighters.

“…… What is the situation on the naval side? ”

Big pineapple also needs to understand the general overview of the relevant military branches before making a decision.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Marshal Chernavin, immediately made a report: "With the entry into service of new ships, the Navy may, if necessary, draw four old cruisers and destroyers. ”

The point is not the tonnage of the battleship, but the age of the ship, that is, the old ships that have been eliminated by the Navy, so that they can be given as gifts to brothers.

The specific model is the "Kresta" I-class cruiser with a full load displacement of 7,500 tons, which is more than twice as large as the current Type 051 destroyers of fraternal countries.

As for the destroyers, it is not necessary for the time being.

The tonnage is too small, and the amount of bait is not enough to catch this big fish.

If there are too many of them, the alliance side will lose money, and it is impossible for the other side to pay the full amount for a second-hand ship that has been in service for nearly twenty years.

Big Pineapple has been emphasized many times on different occasions that the interests of the alliance are higher than the national consciousness.

In particular, in the near future, it is necessary to gradually repair bilateral relations with fraternal countries and open several breakthroughs within the Western camp.

The following understand the strategic connotation of the big pineapple, and he vigorously advocates rearmament, so everyone is trying their best to cooperate.

Seeing the big pineapple, there was not much reaction, and Marshal Chernavin cautiously added: "If we sell a number of capital warships to Brazil, South Africa, Argentina and other countries at the same time, I am afraid that there will be a certain degree of bullying in short-term combat effectiveness, and it will take some time for the grassroots to run in with the newly commissioned frigates." ”

The Navy was supplemented with four Project 11356 and four upgraded Type 11356M frigates built by Russia for the Indian Navy.

Although the full load displacement of the two types was only about four thousand tons, almost half of the cruisers of the I. rank "Kresta".

However, the combat effectiveness of the ship's weapons and the ship is only higher than that of its predecessors.

In particular, the Type 11356M is equipped with 36 vertically launched "windless" anti-aircraft missiles, which significantly increases the air defense capabilities of the fleet.

Due to the poor condition of the third brother's ship, Miji provided two more Project 22350 frigates equipped with phased array radars, that is, Russian Aegis ships.

However, these two ships soon became the research objects of the Frankenstein bears, and have been in a state of semi-sea trials & semi-slices.

Marshal Chernavin believes that the troops that will take over the "new ships" will not initially form combat strength until at least the second half of this year.

According to the meaning of the big pineapple, at least 10 large warships will be transferred from the surface fleet of the Navy to carry out foreign arms sales activities, and the targets will most likely be cruisers and large destroyers.
