After the desalination plant was settled, Su Ming was invited to participate in a security conference in southern Africa, which consisted of senior personnel from South Africa, Namibia, Angola, Zambia, Botswana, Eswatini, Mozambique, Lesotho, Madagascar and other countries.

At the meeting, the representatives of Mozambique and Zimbabwe protested against Su's planes often flying into their airspace, Su Ming was very surprised, no, with the on-board equipment on his own plane, this phenomenon should not occur, he had already ordered that in order to avoid causing something like South Africa again, not to let these guys approach the border line 20 kilometers, even if there is an error in the navigation system, it will not be an error of 20 kilometers.

Su Ming didn't know the specific situation, could it be that there was that guy who was disobedient and flew casually in a plane, it shouldn't be, he now has more pilots under his command, and when he arranged the pilots of the two planes, he transferred people away, and the province arranged two stupid and bold people to cause trouble for himself.

Su Ming had to promise to go back and investigate, and when his super MiG arrived, nothing like this would happen, and the Thunderbolt fighters would not need to be dispatched so frequently, only one super MiG with two super Thunderbolts would be needed to monitor a country's airspace, because at present, these four countries are interconnected, and the directions with their backs definitely do not need to be monitored, they only need to face their respective opposite sides.

Although the MiG-31 has the shortcomings of slow climb and poor low-altitude ability, and the melee surname can hardly be the opponent of any third-generation aircraft, but with the protection of thunder and lightning, it is different, and it can give full play to the characteristics of its combination of fighter and early warning aircraft.

Su Ming originally planned to re-produce, but it turned out that it took too long to restart production, and it was to be produced in Russia, so Kazakhstan came to the door and wanted Mikoyan to help improve the thirty-three MiG-31s he belonged to, and finally after negotiations, Kazakhstan also provided free MiG-31 to the Mikoyan Design Bureau, two for Mikoyan to carry out transformation studies, and the other four were being transformed according to Su Ming's requirements.

The upgrade plan in Kazakhstan is mainly an avionics upgrade, replacing the on-board navigation equipment and display system, as well as an optimized radar system, and the engine has also been replaced with a higher thrust version, but it is still the original engine manufacturer's product.

On Su's side, the SS200 engine, super metal battery, and avionics have all been replaced with the latest products of the Western system, including a full set of electronic equipment in the aircraft, many of which were originally vacuum tubes, and now all of them have been replaced with integrated circuits.

There is also a shell that is also being remodeled, so that the renovation project is very huge, until now, not a single one has been completed, but according to the Mikoyan Design Bureau, one has been basically completed, and it is ready to be sent over for testing in the near future.

The MiG-31 has been renovated and reduced by two and a half tons, which mainly increases the capacity of the on-board battery, which is more than twice as large as the original, but the volume and weight are less than half of the original, and the take-off weight is still more than 40 tons, but after removing the plug-in and fuel, there is still a lot of space in the fuselage, and a large number of electronic equipment is installed on it, so that the MiG-31 has become a specialized electronic warfare aircraft in addition to interceptors and early warning aircraft.

The range has increased to more than 9,000 kilometers, and if you carry auxiliary fuel tanks, you can even break through 10,000 kilometers, and if you add refueling in the air, it is even more terrible, and along with the transfer of the plane, there is also a batch of weapons, including the R-37 long-range air-to-air bomb that is parallel to the American Immortal Bird missile.

Only aircraft such as the F-14 and MiG-31 carrying high-power radars can provide guidance for such long-range air-to-air missiles, and after the radar power is further improved, the Super MiG can even provide guidance for missiles 400 kilometers away, and can also provide guidance functions for missiles launched by other aircraft.

In this way, the lack of radar power of the Thunderbolt fighter can be solved, and in the case of interference, the MiG-31 provides radar functions for it, and the Thunderbolt is responsible for grappling and protecting the MiG fighter, although the improved Super MiG is much lighter, and the overload has also increased to 8G, but it is still unable to compete with light aircraft like Thunderbolt.

Su Ming even asked the Mikoyan Design Bureau to add a simple toilet and a small food heating device for the pilot, as well as a music and video appreciation system, but this system restricts two people to only one person, not both at the same time, otherwise the pilot will be on it for more than ten hours, and no one can stand it.

Su Ming didn't know why Zimbabwe and Mozambique protested, but at the security meeting, several countries did not have any disputes with each other, mainly to strengthen communication and reduce possible friction due to accidents.

South Africa has already tasted the power, so there are no other countries that want to try it in this regard, and the strength of the Su clan has been known to these countries, whether it is the rise of Dream City, or the huge An-124, and the influence of the Su clan in the international community, people dare not underestimate it.

The representative of Eswatini asked about the possibility of establishing air defense cooperation with Su Ming, and Su Ming thought about where Eswatini was located. To the east of the African continent, it is not bordered by the countries that are now in charge of it, and it is surrounded by South Africa and Mozambique, and it is not worth it to have two planes stationed for such a large country, so Su Ming politely declined the other party's request.

If Mozambique and Zimbabwe can be taken down, it will be similar, but the representative of Eswatini immediately quietly told Su Ming that Zimbabwe and Mozambique originally wanted to pull him together to protest, in fact, the main reason was to let Su Ming take the initiative to contact them and take over the air defense of the two countries, but after Su Ming took the four countries, there was no movement.

For a long time, they felt that Su Ming should take the initiative to contact them, but there was no movement, and they were embarrassed to take the initiative to contact Su Ming, so they would not be able to bargain, and the person in charge of them still wanted to get some benefits from it, and they happened to see Su Ming at this meeting, so they protested and reminded Su Ming, there are still two countries over there that have not taken it out, and if they take it, there will be no such protest.

Su Ming couldn't laugh or cry, there was such a person, he felt that the airspace of the four countries was enough to be busy, and he had to be busy with other things, so he didn't take the initiative to contact again, and it was ridiculous to be made of such an incident.

Probably because they felt that they were being despised and saw Su Shi's plane flying around every day, it was also eye-catching to watch, in their place, a plane can be dispatched once a month is a high attendance rate, and some can't even be dispatched once in half a year, like Su Ming, who is dispatched almost every day, it is impossible to change to any other country.

In addition to the very low cost of super thunder and lightning sorties, the main reason is to let the new pilot test fly this type of aircraft, and learn more about the surname of this aircraft, so that it can be played in battle, know more about the aircraft, and be familiar with this airspace, and after this period of time, the flight frequency will naturally decrease, and Su Ming will not be able to look at these countries like taking care of his own backyard.

For the base of Dream City, due to the lack of protection at the national level, the special forces of the United States and India on the Pakistani side still dare to kill it, not to mention that the airspace here also needs its own protection, so Su Ming pays special attention to the protection of Dream City, and now a team of Thor is stationed, and after the airport is completed, the Namibian air team is arranged here.

Moreover, Su Ming is planning to purchase two sets of air defense systems from there after the city is completed, get a medium and long-range one like the S-300, and then get a short-range one of the Doyle series, and then arrange some portable anti-aircraft missiles or vehicle-mounted ones, because of the precision-guided bombs, combat aircraft no longer need low-altitude dive bombing, and now portable air defense missiles are mainly used to deal with helicopter targets, and there is no threat to fighters.

A few days later, the Mikoyan Design Bureau sent the modified MiG-31 over, accompanied by a lot of technicians involved in the project, it is said that it should be tested over there, but because Su Ming is here, and Mikoyan is now under Su's family, it is not very convenient to test the flight in Russia, every time you have to apply for something, there is the same problem in Pakistan, you don't have to think about this problem here, the entire airspace is under your own control.

Seeing the MiG-31, forget about the pilots of other countries, among those pilots in the former Soviet Union, some of them came down with their eyes on the spot, needless to say, there must have been those who flew such planes, and most of them also had gloomy expressions and were silent.

Pilots from other countries are very curious about this kind of aircraft, no one has ever flown this kind of aircraft, but it looks very majestic, very fan, thunder and lightning next to it, just like a little brother, unlike the Su-27 and MiG-29, this kind of aircraft has basically not been exported, Russia has sold this model, but there are not many countries that need this kind of aircraft, most of Russia's traditional customers are small countries, there is no need for this kind of aircraft specially for air interception, and it is not a good thing to have high radar power, The country is small, and as soon as you turn on the radar here, it directly affects the neighboring countries, and people still put forward their opinions.

Russia has also sold to China, and China has also not taken a fancy to it, but if you take the current one to sell, let alone China, it is estimated that Russia is also rushing to ask for it, Su Ming thought that Russia had more than 100 such planes sealed, is it looking for Putin, can you get those too, Su Ming let Moristov sit in the front, and he sat in the back compartment, in the screams of Moristov, the super MiG roared and flew into the sky.
