1327 The return route of the huge bomber group

"Only by working hard can we determine whether it is really not possible. Although Saudi Arabia has US troops, their royal family is not very satisfied with the United States' support for Israel, the enemy in the Arab world."

After Liu Suxue finished speaking, he stood up and said goodbye.

Under the protection of the security personnel of the Presidential Palace, he returned to his own guest room at Saddam's Presidential Palace and found that someone was waiting for him.

Even though he owed tens of billions of debts in the Iraqi-Iraq War, the Iraqi president, one of the major oil-producing countries in the Middle East, lived an extremely luxurious life. The Iraqi Presidential Palace, namely the Palace of the Republic, the original Hashem dynasty palace, covers an area of ​​17 square kilometers and is decorated in extremely luxuriously.

The guest room where Liu Suxue lives is not too far from the palace where Saddam lived.

There are some people around him who have the privilege of entering and leaving the world. All of this is because they have brought many weapons, equipment and even some technologies for the Saddam government.

"The young master needs some materials for An-225, as well as the main architecture design ideas, here is a list!" The person who came was very ordinary, so ordinary that no one could remember his appearance.

Liu Suxue frowned and looked at the person who came, but did not speak.

The visitor did not react at all, and said calmly at the end of the year, "They got Boeing's lithium-aluminum alloy production technology, but it seems that the current performance is not up to standard. At the same time, they got the most core honeycomb structure in the Boeing-747 main structure design. It seems that there is also wing-body skinning technology, etc. I guess they want to integrate Soviet and American technologies..."

The explanation is very detailed, without any omissions, and no more detailed introduction.

Of course, because of some uncertainty in the middle, all the words like this were used.

"Is it urgent?" Liu Suxue pondered for a moment and asked.

"No hurry."

"Is it not in a hurry or I don't know?"

"I don't know. I didn't say it."

"That's just an urgent matter." Liu Suxue said idly, "This is not easy to do!"

The visitor stopped talking, as if waiting for Liu Suxue's answer.

The whole room became quiet.

Liu Suxue began to pace back and forth in the room covered with a wool carpet with his hands behind his back.

After a while, he spoke, "Tell the young master, I will send someone back for six months."

The visitor nodded and stood up and left.

When he went out, he didn't see too many moves and turned into an Arab. The guards at the door never even looked at him.

"It's not a matter of life to ask for this at this time? Although Ukrainian officials, this thing was closely watched by the Soviet Union!" Liu Suxue, who usually didn't smoke at all, lit a cigar from Cuba.

He didn't smoke, just let the cigar burn, and then asked about the smell.

Liu Yijiu’s request can be said to be a bit too much, but for Liu Suxue, it is something that must be done.

Just getting some related technologies, the problem is not too big.

Although it is very difficult, in Ukraine, spending some money or giving out some things can solve the problem, but only by getting people over can it be faster.

It is a bit difficult to get over the crowd.

"It seems that things in Africa need to stop first." In the end, Liu Suxue made up his mind.

That night, he said goodbye to Saddam and said that he was going to the Soviet Union to help them with the most advanced air defense missiles.

Saddam was naturally extremely happy. If Liu Suxue had not been able to help him get a lot of advanced Soviet weapons and equipment, these would have been secretly used for the expansion of the army.

The distance from Iraq to Ukraine is far enough, especially when passing through Turkey and crossing the Black Sea. Aircraft from Iraq passed through Turkey's airspace. It was not allowed. Because Turkey is an ally of the United States, but under the operation of Liu Suxue, some special planes flying through Turkey's airspace will be considered Turkey's own aircraft.

Liu Suxue didn't tell anyone how it was done, and every time he flew over here, he was calculating the time.

"It is a bit too risky to cross the Black Sea and cross Turkish airspace, especially without escort of fighter jets. If the opponent's fighter jets force it, it is not a good thing, and the risk is too great." When the plane crossed Turkish airspace, Liu Suxue obviously saw two F-4 fighters leaping outside the hanging window, and couldn't help but worry about how the huge Ukrainian large bomber formation would fly over Turkey's airspace.

If the things carried on it are forced to land, then all these years of hard work will be in vain.

There are quite a lot of fighter jets in Ukraine, but both Liu Suxue and Liu Yijiu have to give up on this kind of main air combat forces. It is not because they don’t like it, but because they are too far away. Ukraine does not have a large number of air refueling aircraft, and there are only Il-78 air refueling aircraft transformed by Il-76 military transport aircraft.

Even so, there are not many aerial refueling aircraft arranged in Ukraine at present, with only more than 20, mainly for air refueling services such as the Tu-22m series of counterfire and the Tu-27 set up here.

Super strategic bombers like Tu-160 do not require air refueling at all.

However, it is definitely not easy to fly from Ukraine to Nipdosan, at the beginning, that can only be refueled in Iran.

Il-78, with a length of 4660 meters, a height of 1476 meters, a wingspan of 5050 meters, and a wing area of ​​300 square meters. The power unit is 4 d-30kp-2 turbofan engines, with a single thrust of 1177 kN. The maximum take-off weight is 190 tons, and it can carry 92,800 kilograms of fuel.

When flying for 1,000 kilometers, you can refuel 65 tons of other aircraft, and when flying for 2,500 kilometers, you can only refuel about 30 tons of air refueling.

The distance from Ukraine to Nipdosan is tens of thousands of kilometers!

It is not very likely to fall to the ground to refuel.

Although their relationship with Iran and Pakistan is very good, it is related to the ownership of billions or even more arms.

Liu Suxue didn't dare to relax at all.

The plane was flying over Türkiye's airspace. In the wide cabin, except for a few entourage members who were closing their eyes to rest, Liu Suxue himself was constantly thinking about a world map.

The areas of the two camps on the map have been marked out, and I can see them very clearly.

"Or we might as well fly back to China's region. From Ukraine to China, the Soviet Union's own territory is all the Soviet Union's own territory. As long as the relationship between a certain country is opened, and the air refueling aircraft can be used to refuel the air refueling aircraft at that time, you can fly directly into China. Tu-160 does not even need to refuel. It is directly hidden in the airport in the Gobi Desert. American satellites and Soviet satellites cannot be found!" Seeing Liu Suxue gestured on the map again, a middle-aged white man in Zhongshan suit couldn't help but speak.

The white man was wearing Zhongshan suits and felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked.

In the plane, there was only Liu Suxue, a thin yellow man. There was even an old man bald and short and fat man, who looked like a politician from a certain European country.

In fact, this old man can really be counted as a politician because he is from a secret department of the Ukrainian government.

At this time, he also said, "Actually, there is no need to worry about these things. The range of the 160 is just enough, and the counterfire bomber needs to be refueled in the air. However, it can fly at least 4,000 kilometers. It is completely possible to let the Il-78 air refueler wait in Pakistan first, and take off again when we are about to arrive in a certain area, so as to carry out air refueling..."

"I have thought about this way. There are not many aerial refueling machines over there..."

Liu Suxue patted his swelling head.

This is an indisputable fact that Ukraine has a small number of aerial refueling aircraft.

Although the Il-78 is currently the largest aerial refueling machine in the world. The maximum take-off weight is more than 30 tons than the 13472 tons of the KC-135a, the maximum fuel supply is more than 18 tons or even more than the 468 tons of the KC-135a, and the practical ceiling is much higher.

Especially in such a one-way trip, the aerial refueling machine not only needs to be refueled in the air, but also needs to consume fuel itself.

"If it really doesn't work, why don't you ask the young master to help me. Iran and Pakistan have a lot of air refueling aircraft, so that their air refueling aircraft will refuel our Tu-22 first? As long as they agree to refuel our fighter jets with their air refueling aircraft, it will be much easier..."

This plan is too large and the range is long enough.

"If there is enough air refueling engines in China, this problem is not big. Cross the Himalayas, take off from Pakistan, and wait outside the Arabian Ocean, and do your best to leave enough fuel for return. In this way, it is enough to think of some solutions at the distance across the Indian Ocean."

Everyone knows that once such a huge bomber fleet lands, it is likely that it will never be able to take off again.

This involves more than ten Tu-160s, dozens of Tu-22m2s and Tu-22m3s, and a larger number of cruise missiles!

Any country will be jealous of such a huge super weapon.

No one is worried about whether it is possible to not be able to support it.

With such a large number of strategic weapons, the deterrent power it has is what any country needs.

Even the United States and the entire Western countries have been shrouded in the shadow of the medium-range strategic bomber group of the Tu-160 and Tu-22m series over the years.

Tu-22m can threaten most European regions.

If Pakistan has it, it can deter all regions in India.

Iran has it, and the entire Arab world is within the range of their bombers.

Iraq doesn't have to count on it.

"That's not OK. You can't fly over the Indian airspace! We can only cross the Lakdevo Sea from the Arabian Sea, then fly directly to the destination..." Looking at the map, Liu Suxue sighed again. "There is basically no place to cheer over there."

"Or, we might as well fly from Iran to Afghanistan, then enter the airspace of northern Pakistan, and fly in the Himalayas. This will not be easily detected, and it is also difficult to operate. After all, there must be several aircraft to stay in China..."

A young man suddenly said.

This plan immediately brightened Liu Suxue's eyes.

Starting from southern Ukraine, leaps southern Russian territory, then crosses the Caspian Sea and enters Iran, so that the first air refueling can be carried out.

Then enter northern Pakistan from Iran, or simply cross Afghan airspace to enter Pakistan for a second air refueling.

When crossing the Himalayas, some large bombers entered China, while others flew directly to the east along the Himalayas. Then they directly crossed Myanmar and entered Nippodosan!

"The biggest problem is that China does not have aerial refueling machines."

This route will be thousands of kilometers longer than direct flights, and air refueling will need to be carried out at least three times.

At the same time, this line will only be reconnaissed over the Caspian Sea. Once it enters the Iranian field, the long-range early warning radar arranged by the West will not be detected. When entering Afghanistan, a country that is still in war, it is even more impossible to be discovered.

Passing through Afghanistan, the fleet will disappear!

In the end, no one knows where these fighter planes went.

Southeast Asia is simply the weakest area in which the two major camps of the United States and the Soviet Union confront each other. Various advanced weapons and equipment and detection radars are arranged at the junction of the two major camps of Europe.

The only question now is whether China can provide sufficient air refueling in this operation!

"It requires at least a dozen aerial tankers to complete the task!" Liu Suxue calculated, "The current situation in the Soviet Union is becoming more and more chaotic, and no one knows how much time we have. The longer the time, the greater our chances!"

"You should go back to China and talk to Director Liu. Without enough aerial refueling aircraft and a huge fleet, it is difficult to fly to the destination."

Liu Suxue nodded with deep understanding.

I really need to go back to China and have a good talk with Liu Yijiu.

China started to build aerial refueling machines many years ago, and got the Boeing-707 aerial refueling machine transformed from KC-135, and also created the Yun-Ten, which can quickly manufacture large-scale aerial refueling machines.

The problem is that I don’t know if China has already completed the air tanker!

"Perhaps, things can be paused here, after all, we have been planning for this over the years!" Everyone else basically has this attitude.

Liu Suxue thought about it and then said, "Then you guys do something about it first. I will go back in the next few days..."

They have put in so many years of hard work and must not let things go wrong at the last moment.
