Chapter 205 Is this a pit?

"It's ready, it's $200.8 million." Tasha said lightly, but she was also a little apprehensive in her heart, and she forgot about it, but she didn't expect those guys from Mikoyan to be so ruthless, a fighter that has been out of production for almost forty years, let you prepare it, and collect 1.8 million US dollars, but what about you, you actually spent more than 200 million US dollars on others in a fierce operation.

"Tasha, this joke isn't funny." Wang Yue said a little unhappily, he felt Tasha's apprehension, but this does not mean that he has to admit this account, how much is a new plane, and he dares to ask for more than 200 million US dollars with himself when he is ready, this is really when he is wronged, is he too easy to talk in the eyes of those guys in Mikoyan?

"Victor, believe me, the price is definitely worth the price, Mikoyan's side has completely upgraded the MiG-25 this time, replaced with two new engines, overall titanium alloy skin, a new supercomputing flight control computer, a comprehensive weapon system, a detachable information cockpit, a life support system, and even a certain stealth ability, the combat power has been infinitely close to the Su-57 fighter, and even surpassed." Tasha introduced that Mikoyan's guys also took great pains, not only brought the ultimate upgrade plan formulated for the MiG-25 that year, but also took out a lot of new technologies developed during the bidding with the Su-57, which led to the advent of this super MiG-25.

"Tasha, he's a MiG-25." Wang Yue had a little headache, but he also understood that Mikoyan's guys were really "painstaking".

"Victor, let's talk about the height, the original E-266M (MiG-25M) aircraft was modified with a p-31ะค turbojet engine with greater thrust, and the fuselage structure was also strengthened. Test pilot Fedotov set a record for absolute altitude in meters on August 31, 1977 in the E-266m test aircraft, but your Super MiG-25 can theoretically fly 50,000 meters. Tasha said with a smile, of course, this is just the design height, and there is really no test flight at present, after all, there are many problems involved in wanting to test the flight, and it is not something that can be done.

"Fifty thousand meters? Fighter plane? Wang Yue was also a little confused, is it necessary to be so ferocious, at an altitude of 50,000 meters, with the right missiles, it can be used to hit low-orbit satellites, okay? There are a lot of planes that can fly 50,000 meters, but a mass-produced fighter plane can fly 50,000 meters and still have a certain combat effectiveness.

"Yes, however, it requires the use of specially formulated fuel and a two-stage booster rocket, and the life support system is also specially prepared for high-altitude flight, and the high-altitude flight speed can also exceed Mach 5, Double Five, Victor, if it is still in the Cold War, this aircraft can shock the world." Tasha continued to bewitch, she was a little weak at first, but she actually had a little bit of confidence, saying that this super MiG-25 is really powerful, okay, you must know that Mikoyan Those guys are aiming at the X-15 of the Bald Eagle, the speed of the X-15 is Mach 6.7, and there is no one, you must know that people are good at pure rocket propulsion?

"What about weapon systems?" Wang Yue continued to ask, feeling a lot better, the altitude of 50,000 meters, this alone is worth taking a shot, raising the altitude of 20 kilometers, can save almost five tons of fuel, these are enough for the "Sacred Elephant 5" to operate in space for at least ten more years, for space weapons, the significance of ten more years of operation is self-evident.

"Mikoyan matched the Super MiG-25 with all Mikoyan's air-based weapons, as well as the lasers on the E-266M test aircraft, the kind that can hit low-orbit satellites." Tasha continued to introduce that Mikoyan's guys even took out the space-based secret weapon and sold it, of course, that thing was only a secret weapon in the Alliance era, at this time, it is estimated that even the drawings are in NASA's database, but even so, it is the only laser weapon in the world that can be put into actual combat, and it is still space-based.

"Small laser weapons?" Wang Yue was a little puzzled, there are a lot of large laser weapons now, but most of them are fixed on the ground, there are also on warships, and there are also air-based ones, but what kind of plane is that, it is a large plane with a reactor, and there is no laser weapon less than ten tons?

What is the load of the MiG-25 fighter? How powerful can that thing be equipped with multiple laser weapons?

"The high energy consumption of laser weapons is mainly due to the loss of the atmosphere, more than 30,000 meters at an altitude, the energy loss is very low, although it cannot affect ground targets, it is no problem to attack low-orbit satellites in an orbit of 500-700 kilometers, two lasers, each can be launched twice, and if you are lucky, you can shoot down four satellites at one take-off." Tasha met Wang Yue's puzzled eyes, and said with some pride, but she also knew that it was only theoretical, using laser weapons to hit satellites, the most important thing is fire control, although Mikoyan changed the algorithm and improved the computing power of the fire control computer, but after all, there is no actual combat, and even the experiment has not been done.

"What the hell is Mikoyan going to do?" Wang Yue suddenly felt that 200 million US dollars didn't seem to be so expensive, just this small laser weapon, give it to Tasha to operate, and sell it to Loliton It's a lot of money, Mikoyan really wants to pit himself for a while? 200 million US dollars is indeed a lot, but in fact, it is not indispensable for the current Mikoyan, after all, he has placed an order for Mikoyan for 1,000 planes just for the transport plane.

"Viktor, Mikoyan could not always be supported by MiG-2 transport aircraft and Lager-3 fighters, they needed a new, competitive product." Tasha hesitated, but still put forward Mikoyan's idea, of course, Mikoyan's idea was proposed to Tasha, after all, in their opinion, this plane was also modified for Tasha.

"They want to change the current direction of fighter development, not to fight stealth, not to fight outside the defense area, not to fight data link, just fight with you high-altitude and high-speed, what is the use of you being advanced? Without me, I can fly high, without me to fly fast, all advanced technology is a floating cloud. Wang Yue sighed to himself, you have to admit that Mikoyan still has a capable person, use his strengths and avoid weaknesses, and give full play to his strengths, if he is really made by them, he can really force the bald eagle to continue to engage in an arms race with them, don't look at the arms race that has collapsed the alliance, if you really want to continue to engage in an arms race in 2023, the bald eagle may not be able to resist it, after all, this world is no longer the same, if it wasn't for the inexplicable collapse of the alliance back then, The economy of the bald eagle is not estimated to be much better, don't think too well about the economy of the bald eagle during that period, everyone is a gambler who presses the last copper plate on the table, and the difference is just a little luck.

"Mikoyan needs a perfect display of action, and they want me to send my best team of super ace pilots to attack these targets." As he spoke, Tasha handed a small note to Wang Yue, on which were four sets of numeric codes, if it was an ordinary person, he would definitely not be able to understand what it was.

"Is this orbital data?" Wang Yue glanced at it and understood, it should be the orbital data of four low-orbit reconnaissance satellites, from the coding point of view, this should be four low-orbit satellites that can cross-monitor the Ermao land for a long time, so it is self-evident whose satellites are.

"As long as one satellite is knocked out, this modification will be free, and if all four satellites are down, Mikoyan is willing to help you convert the other three MiG-25s in your hand into Super MiG-25, and if you count it, one satellite will be 200 million US dollars." Tasha smiled hopefully, where did she have a super pilot group, and the last person she wanted to count on was Wang Yue.

800 million US dollars, this price is definitely not low, I believe it is enough for Wang Yue to make a move, but Mikoyan's seemingly sky-high remuneration is the same thing in her opinion, valuable titanium alloy skin, engines and everything are in stock, as for the fire control computer or something, it is not specially developed, it is all saved up with ready-made inventory, and it is indeed more than 200 million US dollars to transform an aircraft, but Mikoyan's actual expenditure is not more than 10 million US dollars.

"Why not the MiG-35?" Wang Yue was a little puzzled, shouldn't the most advanced fighter in Mikoyan's hands be the MiG-29M/m2 and MiG-29K/KUb technology developed by the Mikoyan Design Bureau in the early 21st century? Anyway, it barely belongs to the fourth and a half generation fighters, right?

"No kidding, there is no room for further development of the MiG-35, even if it is improved, it will be like that, relatively speaking, the MiG-25 and MiG-23 have the largest room for transformation." Tasha smiled a little helplessly, she also sold the MiG-35, but what was that thing? In addition to the advanced electronic equipment, the performance is not as good as the old MiG-29 fighter.

"I also want a full set of hand-drawn paper and manufacturing manuals for the MiG-2." Wang Yue smiled and put forward his own conditions, these things Tasha gave him, there are electronic versions, there are also printed versions, but whether it is an electronic version or a printed version, it can't be brought over, and it also requires rich experience and professional knowledge to make people hand-paint, and it also needs professional proofreading, which is a job that ordinary people can't do.

"No problem, I can say yes for Mikoyan." Tasha thought that Wang Yue would make all kinds of requests, but she didn't expect this guy to ask for hand-drawn paper, and Mikoyan's fifty or sixty-year-old designers and draftsmen had a lot of them, and it was easy to organize and draw a few tons of drawings.

"Okay, Boss Tasha, when your side transports the plane here, I will start to act when I want, as the number one ace pilot in your hand, I am duty-bound." Wang Yue said and didn't forget to pinch Tasha's face.
