Two F-16 fighters, aircraft that simulated the Soviet invasion, flew from a low altitude from a distance. Although they were in complex ground echoes, they were still detected by the e-2 early warning aircraft. Under the guidance of the e-2 early warning aircraft, two F-14 Tomcat fighters took off from the Peshawar Air Force Base and quickly intercepted.↗

With the service of early warning aircraft, more battles will be directed by early warning aircraft. Compared with ground radar stations, early warning aircraft has inherent advantages, standing high, seeing far, and seeing low altitudes.

Mhamad looked at John and Lord in front of him with a smile on his face.

"His Excellency Mhamad, we have upgraded these two e-2 early warning aircraft," said Lord. "You should be satisfied with this effect, right?"

"Well, I'm very satisfied," said Mhamad.

"So, can you give us an answer about that Jacques-38?" Lord said to Mhamad.

"Jacques-38? Of course." Mhamad said: "If you need it, I can give it to you."

Hearing Mhamad's words, John was a little unbelievable. Mhamad agreed so easily. Could it be that there was a trap? He was absolutely unwilling to accept that he would not squeeze the interests to the greatest extent.

"However, we still have some requests, and I hope you can agree." Mhamad said.

Sure enough, it came again. If they did not agree, they would definitely not hand over the Jacques-38. Lord asked softly: "What else do you have to ask?"

"We want to buy twenty A-7e attack aircraft from your country," Mhamad said. "A-7e, don't fool us with the old models."

The a-7 is a ground attack aircraft used by the US Navy. Although it is ugly in style, it has strong battlefield survival and attack capabilities. It is an attack aircraft developed in 1963 and has been in service in 1965. It is nicknamed Pirates. After the US Navy was equipped, the Air Force thought it had good performance and equipped a batch of them.

Now, although Pakistan is equipped with the 5-5 produced by Eastern countries. This kind of attacker has the same air combat capability as the prototype J-6, and even has the upper hand in the confrontation with Phantom 3. However, as a striker, its weapons are too single and the number of mounted ones is too small, which is completely inferior to the A-7 attack aircraft.

At the same time, the a-7 is a low-end weapon in the US equipment sequence, and Pakistan can even get f-16 and f-14. It is not difficult to have a-7.

The only difficulty is the equipment funds.

The f-16 and f-14 have consumed all the funds allocated to the air force by Pakistan. Although Mhamad came up with various ways to maintain the normal operation of these military aircraft, they have no ability to equip more fighter aircraft.

Mhamad continued: "But we need to borrow from your country first and wait until our economy improves. We will pay you back the interest."

So that's it! It's another loan! This made Lorde's insult. He had never heard of a country's air force. He was armed with loans! In addition to the down payment, the rest of the F-14 in Pakistan were loaned from American banks. No, it was down payment. I heard that some of them were borrowed from Saudi banks.

These e-2 early warning machines, etc., are completely used to squeeze the oil and water from the United States and exchange it for the broken fire. Now, they want to borrow money to buy the A-7, which is simply making a fortune!

"We have a very premonition. There may be more serious conflicts with the Soviets in the later stage." Mhamad said: "If a war really breaks out, our air force will not just defend our territory. We will also cross the border and bomb the Soviet military targets. A real attack aircraft will give us full confidence. The strong-5 in our equipment sequence is too old."

Mhamad's words were sincere, and at the same time, these words also touched Lord. Now, on the battlefield of Afghanistan, the place where American weapons and Soviet weapons confront each other. It is the best way to test the effectiveness of weapons through the battlefield. This time, if Pakistanis want to buy A-7, it doesn't matter if they sell them. Although it is a temporary loan, no matter how many years they have to pay it back, and a country that can play rogue with the United States has not been born yet.

Moreover, even if the Afghan war is over in the future, you can use these loans to threaten Pakistan. If you are disobedient, then pay back the debt immediately! If you don’t pay it back, the aircraft carrier formation will come here for a walk! It is natural to pay back the debt.

"Okay, I will report to the president. You know, selling this weapon requires approval from Congress, and the loan will have to be processed. It may take another month or two, that is, next year, to come down." Lord said: "Can you hand over that Jacques-38 first?"

"Of course, but that Jacques-38 is not in Peshawar now." Mhamad said with a smile.

"Where is that?"

"Islamabad." Mhamad looked at the smile on Lord's face frozen, and was very happy. He couldn't always be the one who offends himself. Now, it's time to let the bigwigs of Islamabad beat him.

Watching Lord leave, Arslan said: "Chief of Staff Mhamad, the A-7 is a bit old, why don't we have more advanced A-10?"

The a-7 is an attack aircraft of the US Navy, while the a-10 is a model developed by the Air Force. The two engines are arranged in a very special way, which improves the ability to resist strikes. They are special attack aircraft. In later generations, after the A-7 was retired, the a-10 was still in service in the US team.

"The A-7 is a naval attack aircraft that can take off and land on an aircraft carrier," said Mhamad.

This is the most important thing. So far, Mhamad has almost done all the carrier-based aircraft carriers. The one that is bad now is an aircraft carrier.

The aircraft carrier, this sentence made Arslan immediately stunned. He knew Mhamad's true ambitions.

"And, the weapon system of the A-10 is not as advanced as that of the A-7. Only the latest model, installation of a head-up instrument, night navigation/attack pod, infrared detector, and terrain tracking radar, has night combat capabilities. This model will not be sold to us by Americans, but the A-7 is different. From the beginning, it has complete attack capabilities." Mhamad said.

In fact, there is also the most important reason. The A-7e uses the TF41-a-2 turbofan engine. This kind of engine was originally planned to transform the Tomcat and replace the TF30 engine that Tomcat was behind. Unfortunately, with the more advanced F110, this kind of engine has no place to use it. For Pakistan, the TF41 is the only choice. Mhamad got the information last time and this time he got the physical object, so he was more confident to get it out.

"Will the Americans agree to our request?" Arslan said. Although Arslan returned from the United States, he has purchased so many fighter jets in two batches. Will the United States still lend Pakistan?

"If you want to get Jacques-38, they need to sell us, only twenty, not much, and we don't pay back the debt," said Mhamad.

"With our current income, the most is enough to pay their interest," said Arslan.

"This is what the senior officials should think. I have reported to the president and the president has agreed. As for how to repay the loan, we don't have to worry about it for the time being." Mhamad said.

"Chief of Staff, now we are facing one thing." Arslan said: "Our fighter jets are increasing, so we need to train a large number of pilots. They come out of the old J-6 and train with two-seat F-16 and F-14 coaches. It is a waste of our precious fighter flight life."

Mhamad nodded. Both f-14 and f-16 are advanced third-generation fighter jets, mainly used for combat, and using it to train pilots is a bit wasteful.

A qualified pilot first flew the junior trainer plane in the aviation school, most of which were propellers, and then started flying the trainer plane, then the higher education plane, and then changed to the specific aircraft. For example, in China, it was to fly first, first, then first, then first, then J-Chief 5, then J-Chief 7, and then fly specific aircraft.

Pakistan does not have higher education aircraft. Pilots who have finished flying the Chinese education aircraft will start to conduct modification training on two-seat fighter jets. It doesn’t matter if the J-6 is, the flight cost is also very low anyway, but the f-16 and f-14 are different.

Mhamad nodded. It is true that there is no fault in the talent reserve. The use of equipment also requires a series of scientific planning. Higher education machinery should be equipped with some, but...

I am the chief of staff of the military region on the front line and I have no ability to influence the top military leaders. I can only report these things and make suggestions to the superiors. Anyway, I am a combat force, not a training force.

"Before Christmas, all these people left." Arslan continued.

They are just here to help Pakistanis quickly master the operation of these aircraft. After several months of familiarity, Pakistan has been able to master maintenance and maintenance. The expenses of these people are paid by Pakistani. Therefore, according to the contract, these Americans will leave before Christmas and return to their own country to celebrate the festival.

Mhamad nodded: "It's best if you have them here. We are not at ease with many things. The superiors came down to instruct that after Christmas, we will welcome some guests here."

"Who?" Arslan couldn't help asking.

"Our true friends." Mhamad said. Thinking of the identities of these visitors, Mhamad was already full of excitement. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
