Chapter 581: F-14 Turning Waste into Treasure
Welcome to:. Both the United States and the Soviet Union have a large number of nuclear weapons and have built military bases that can withstand nuclear attacks. A steel base will be built hundreds of meters deep underground. The base of the entire base has built huge hydraulic buffer devices, and the earthquake caused by the nuclear explosion will also be buffered. Therefore, for both the United States and the Soviet Union, the so-called "mutual destruction" theory does not have an absolute deterrence. They are both confident that they can survive the other party's nuclear attack and counterattack.
However, the proposal of the "nuclear winter" theory by American scholars made the attendees understand the destructive effect of nuclear war. This ecological disaster will last for hundreds of years. No country can store food for hundreds of years. No country can still have clean air after the nuclear war attack. No one can survive after the nuclear war. If a nuclear war really breaks out, it will be the complete extinction of mankind.
Gorbachev, a heavyweight of the Soviet Union, also attended the meeting. When he heard the American's statement, everyone was shuddered. Gorbachev became even more determined. During the Brezhnev period, the nuclear weapons vigorously developed by the Soviet Union were of no use except to bring heavy economic burdens to the Soviet Union. It cut down weapons of destruction and control the arms race. If he could take over the power of the Soviet Union, this was a key aspect of his future policy.
The Soviet Union has entered the wrong track and must turn him right! Gorbachev is full of confidence. Now, his good friend for more than ten years and the Minister of the Central Organization, Ligachev, said a lot of good things to him in front of General Secretary Chernenko, and is his biggest supporter. With Ligachev's strong recommendation, Chernenko no longer believes in opposition and gradually begins to support Gorbachev.
Moreover, Ligachev uses his identity to convince two other veterans in the party: Politburo member, Foreign Minister Gromiko, Politburo member, and Defense Minister Ustinov hope that they can jointly support Gorbachev. In this case, Gorbachev's hope of becoming the General Secretary will be very great.
Gorbachev was full of confidence. He was just waiting for the opportunity now, waiting for the elderly Chernenko to make room for himself.
The Soviet Union needed reforms, but General Secretary Andropov's reforms were not big enough! And the old Chernenko had no courage, and the Soviet Union needed a firm reformer like him!

"Are you sure that after Iraq took down the Tehran Air Force Base, it obtained several F-14 fighter jets donated as organs?" When he saw Sharapova's eyes flowing and said this, the head of the KGB intelligence agency in Baghdad, who was on the surface, was an ordinary staff member of the Soviet embassy in Iraq. Hearing the KGB's best swallows and successfully invaded Iraq's heavyweight, Sharapova, who was beside His Excellency Kusai, said this, was filled with joy and surprise.
"Don't you believe me yet?" Sharapova said: "Now, the French are already in contact with Iraq, hoping to secretly transport the radar and Immortal missiles of an F-14 fighter. Although those Immortal missiles have been invalid, it will be of great help to France to modify their fighter jets, especially to develop new radars for the Phantom 4000."
The French are also taking action? It seems that the Soviet Union should take action as soon as possible. Stealing is definitely not possible. It can only be brought back from Iraq through secret diplomatic channels.
Now, the relationship between the Soviet Union and Iraq is quite harmonious. Although there was a large-scale armed conflict last time, the Soviet Union did not invade northern Iran in the end. The last time was just a misunderstanding, and Iraq was still continuously obtaining weapons exported by the Soviet Union. Iraq needs the help of the Soviet Union.
Then, let Iraq sell or give parts of the seized F-14 fighter jets that they cannot use, which are of no use, to the Soviet Union, to sell or give them to the Soviet Union. It should not be difficult, right?
"The information you provide this time is very important. The great Soviet Union needs such an excellent swallow like you." The head of the KGB intelligence agency in Baghdad looked at Sharapova's back as he went out and said.
You are incompetent in the head of the intelligence agency. After being stared at by the Iraqi intelligence agency for so long, you don’t even know it. Sharapova, while walking, heard the words behind, couldn’t help but feel a little contemptuous of the other party. Also, she has become a double-faced spy and is already working for Iraq. These KGB guys have not noticed at all.
While the Tehran Air Force Base was on duty on combat readiness, it was also clearing the hangar caused by the last bombing and was blown up on a large scale. Finally, at the end of the cleaning, it was discovered that there were several Iranian Tomcat fighters inside, but all of them were donated as organs and were dismantled by Iranian ground crew members. This made Iraqi personnel admire the working ability of Iranian ground crew members. They actually maintained a small number of such powerful fighters in this way for several years to interrupt the supply of parts.
When the news was reported to Kusai, he keenly felt that he could use the components of these incomplete F-14 fighter jets to regain some benefits.
These fighter jets that entered the Iranian Air Force in 1977 are still in no time. The airborne awg-9 radar and Immortal missiles are quite advanced weapons systems. Their advancedness is probably not even comparable to that of the Soviet Union. Although the radar power of the Soviet MiG-25 at the same time was powerful enough, they could not be seen clearly, and they could not be used to guide missiles with a range of more than 100 kilometers.
Therefore, based on the principle of waste utilization, Kusai began to use his brain and exchange these things with the Soviets! Since the last incident, Kusai's most temptation is the MiG-29's helmet sight and the R-73 large off-axis close-range combat missile. If the f-14's rags can be exchanged for these two things and installed on the Phantom 4000, it will definitely be a trembling existence. The Phantom 4000 will surpass the F-15 in all respects and will not be at a disadvantage in mid-range air combat and close combat!
Of course, Kusai would never take the initiative to find the Soviets. In this case, Kusai's negotiations would not be able to continue. After all, helmet sights and R-73 missiles were things that the Soviet Union had only been equipped for a short time. According to the Soviet character, it was impossible to export them to such a short time.
The Soviets had to take the initiative to find themselves, and then it would be a huge price. In an instant, Kusai naturally thought of letting his life secretary pass on the message to the Soviet Union. After a few months, the KGB might be urging her to ask for information again, right? So Kusai sent Ajlina to spread the news to the Soviet Union. Then, it depends on how the Soviets reacted.
After receiving news from Baghdad, the KGB attached great importance to it. The last time the MiG-29 fighter jet and Iraqi fighter jet was exposed that although the MiG-29 radar was already the most advanced pulse Doppler radar in the Soviet Union, it was still behind compared with the radars of Western countries. Through a comprehensive understanding, they already knew that although this radar has been in service for five years, it is still ahead of the Soviet Union's products. It is very important for the Soviet Union to take its airborne radar technology to further develop the AGW-9 radar for research. Moreover, the Soviet MiG-31 long-range interceptor has begun to enter service, but the research and development of the corresponding ultra-long-range air-to-air missiles is still lagging behind. If the Immortal Missile missile is brought in, some research can play a good reference role in these areas of the Soviet Union.
So, after learning that Iraq had obtained these good things, the Soviet ambassador to Iraq, Balkovsky accepted the order to negotiate with His Excellency Kusai, hoping to transport one back for research.
After the above order came down, Balkovsky had no confidence. Although he had done that big thing last time and gave the Soviet Union a huge amount of military products, Balkovsky also learned that the Excellency Kusai in Iraq was definitely not so easy to fool. Every time he dealt with the Excellency Kusai, he felt that it was even more difficult than going to the battlefield.
This time, he was mentally prepared before coming to see His Excellency Kusai.
"His Excellency Kusai, thank you for your air force being able to maintain restraint and not cause misunderstandings last time in the northern airspace of Iran." Balkovsky said, feeling that starting with this will be smoother.
"Yes, your air force equipment is a bit behind, otherwise how could you have been rushing to Iran for more than 200 kilometers without even realizing it," said Kusai.
That is our most advanced fighter jet. How could it be a trek and a lag behind in equipment! Balkovsky did not care about Kusai's words, and then said: "We said last time that the Soviet Union and Iraq are two countries with great friendship. We cherish this friendship very much. An occasional misunderstanding is nothing."
"Yes, Iraq also attaches great importance to friendship with the Soviet Union, especially the OTP-23 missiles that your country generously exports to us, which further reflects the friendship between us." Kusai said.
Both sides have some references, but Kusai knows what Kusai wants to say next, but Balkovsai wants to say, but Balkovsai doesn't know what Kusai wants to say.
Balkovsky was very happy to hear Kusai say this. Since it was said that the Soviet Union had generously given them, as a symbol of friendship, it would be better to give the F-14 to the Soviet Union.
What Kusai means is that since the precedent has been set, advanced ground-to-ground missiles can be provided to Iraq, so what is wrong with advanced helmet sights and R-73 missiles?
