Dominate South Asia

Mhammad is a powerful figure. He came from the army and founded the Afghan Free Army on the battlefield in Afghanistan. No one would underestimate such a person, even if he is only a brigadier general now.

In the transaction with Muhammad, the Americans first suffered a loss, using a lot of things to exchange for such a Backfire, and later, the Americans got the bargain again. They used the most primitive E-2A to fool Muhammad. Of course, this is also completely in line with the transaction. After all, the transaction did not specify which type of E-2 it was. The United States could not rebuild two for Pakistan, nor could it allocate two from the active US aircraft carrier-based aircraft wing to them.

The Americans began to feel a little uneasy. After the E-2A flew to the Peshawar Air Force Base, they were still waiting for the anger from Muhammad. At least the ambassador of the US Embassy in Pakistan was ready and would patiently persuade Muhammad at that time. This was a misunderstanding between the two sides.

However, Muhammad did not react at all. After complaining to John who was still at the Peshawar Air Force Base, there was no follow-up.

The Americans breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Muhammad was very sensible and knew that he was a little greedy. In fact, there were not many things. The Backfire could only be replaced with a Black Hawk at most, but he wanted so many.

Four or five days passed in the blink of an eye. At the Peshawar Air Force Base, the ground crew was working hard to maintain the fighter planes.

The Americans were unwilling to do physical work. They mainly guided and instructed the Pakistani ground crew to maintain. At the same time, this would also help Pakistani personnel quickly master the maintenance of fighter planes, and they were also willing to do so.

When a truck arrived, it immediately attracted the attention of the people present. It was a Soviet military vehicle, and the Soviet words were sprayed on the door.

Suddenly, they saluted the car and watched it drive into a hangar.

"What is that?" The Americans present couldn't help but be very curious.

"Secret." Looking at the soldiers guarding the hangar, the other ground crew said.

Then, another car drove over, and Chief of Staff Muhammad got out of the car and walked into the hangar.

"Osama, you did a great job!" Looking at the torn canvas, Muhammad's eyes lit up. Just looking at the semicircular air intakes on both sides, he knew it was indeed the Yak-38. When it takes off and lands vertically, it needs to inhale more air, but it cannot inhale by flying forward, so it can only increase the area of ​​the air intake, which also leads to its large frontal area and impossible supersonic flight.

"Sir Muhammad, I'm so happy to see you." If it weren't for this opportunity, Osama would have been hiding in the mountains of Afghanistan and would not have come to Peshawar.

Osama's happiness was from the heart. Although Muhammad left, the loyalty of the Afghan Free Army has not changed.

"Well, Osama, I'm glad to see you too." Muhammad said, "It's just right. You can transport some things when you go back this time. We can temporarily fulfill our promise to the Iranians."

Although there are Americans in the base, the initiative is still in Muhammad's hands. Muhammad can dispose of the spare parts of those fighters at will. Moreover, the Americans only talk and will not go to the warehouse.

This time, the fulfillment can ease the tight finances. The arrival of this batch of fighters has made Pakistan stretched to its limits just by the necessary expenses such as fuel. In order to quickly train pilots, the flight time of the fighters is very long.

"No problem." Osama said, "Those people have urged me several times. I will transport them to the western border, pay the money first, and then inspect the goods. I won't let them play tricks."

Dare to play tricks with Osama, then die even more miserably, Muhammad is absolutely not worried.

"Sir Muhammad, what kind of plane are we transporting here?" Osama looked at the plane and asked Muhammad.

"Soviet carrier-based fighter." Muhammad said: "Yak-38."

Carrier-based fighter? Afghanistan doesn't have an aircraft carrier, so why did the Soviets bring these planes to Afghanistan? Osama was very surprised and wanted to continue asking, but he saw that Muhammad had already directed people to start unloading the fighter.

This plane is only more than six tons, lighter than a truck. Although there is no crane, the technicians who came in built a slope with steel plates behind the truck, loosened the fixed wire rope, and slowly pushed the plane down.

Then, they started to install the wings on both sides.

During the installation, they found that the wings of this plane were special and could be folded to both sides, which also proved that it was a carrier-based fighter. Folding can save precious space inside the aircraft carrier.

"You can't go in, this is a confidential hangar." The voice of the guard came from outside.

"Don't you recognize me? I'm John, your friend. I want to see Chief of Staff Muhammad."

"That won't work either. Please stay away."

"Is that how you treat your friend?"

"I'm sorry, I only have orders in my head."

Mhammad laughed in his heart. Sure enough, he attracted John.

Looking at the wings on both sides installed, Muhammad walked outside.

"Creaky." Seeing the hangar door open, John looked inside through the crack of the door. When he saw the plane inside, he was shocked. Then, he saw Muhammad walking out from the crack of the door.

"Chief of Staff Hamad, I have something urgent to ask of you." John said: "About the maintenance of Tomcat fighter jets."

Hamad nodded: "Just ask Commander Arslan for these, I'm still busy."

After saying that, Mhammad was about to go back.

"Chief of Staff Hamad, we are allies now. Can I go in and have a look?" John couldn't care less at this time. The things inside were so tempting.

Hammad held his chin with his hand, pondered for a moment, and finally said: "You are our friend, you can come in, but you must abide by the principle of confidentiality. This is a good thing we got from the battlefield in Afghanistan."

"Okay, I will definitely do it." John said, glaring at the guards on both sides with vicious eyes, and followed Mhamad in.

Under the lights in the hangar, John saw the not-so-large aircraft, but John's heart kept beating, Yak-38! Yak-38!

In order to prevent the Soviets from possessing aircraft carriers, the United States began to deceive, claiming that its large aircraft carriers were too expensive, expensive to build, and easily destroyed in wartime. The British even began to develop small invincible-class aircraft carriers. Under these circumstances, the Soviets built aircraft carriers. The pace is very slow.

Those helicopter carriers were just empty shells, nothing to be afraid of. The subsequent Kiev-class had vertical take-off and landing fighter jets, and the United States really wanted to get this kind of aircraft.

Vertical take-off and landing without an airport is the dream of many aircraft shooters. The British realized it and owned the Harrier. Even the United States purchased a batch. Similarly, the Soviets also realized it, with this Yak-38!

The Americans are most interested in the performance, combat radius, bomb load, etc. of this fighter jet. They also hope to master the technology of this fighter jet and use it to develop their own vertical take-off and landing fighter jets.

When the aircraft carrier formations of the United States and the Soviet Union encounter each other on the ocean, they will encounter this kind of carrier-based fighter jets at the same time. Only by understanding the enemy can we better attack the enemy.

Moreover, this fighter plane is so complete that it does not need to be repaired before it can fly again!

John walked around the aircraft and could see that it uses a lift engine structure. Behind the pilot, there is a nozzle under the fuselage. Combined with the nozzle at the tail that can be turned down, they can spray downwards to make the aircraft Taking off vertically, with so many engines at the same time, the fuel consumption must be huge. Will the pilot feel uncomfortably hot? John was very interested in all of this.

"Chief of Staff Hamad, this is really a good thing." John said: "Staying here is of no use to you. How about giving it to us, the United States? This was obtained from the battlefield in Afghanistan. We, the United States, are It strongly supports the liberation cause of the Afghan people and has provided a large number of weapons.”

This is different from the Backfire. The Backfire was shot down by the Pakistan Air Force, and this Yak-38 was obtained from the battlefield in Afghanistan.

"Yes, you have supported a large number of weapons and given them to the Afghan warriors. They used these weapons to fight the Soviets, and at the same time they were helping your country, because your country's enemy is the Soviet Union, so the two sides are even. "What you paid was weapons, and what the Afghans paid was blood and lives." Mhamad looked at John and said, "What do you think?"

This is originally in the interest of both parties. If Americans are really so kind, why don't they support those countries in Africa that are at war?

"Moreover, now that the aircraft has been transported to the Peshawar Military District, it belongs to us." Mhamad said: "This is a testimony of the friendship between us and Afghanistan."

John knew that he was too naive just now. He said to Mhamad: "Chief of Staff Mhamad, then we can exchange. What do you think?"

"We have already exchanged goods once," Mhammad said. "We are very grateful to our American allies for this exchange."

Allies and thanks, Mhamad said very strongly, with dissatisfaction in his words.

"I'm sorry, you have seen too much. Please don't tell the secrets here." Mhamad issued an expulsion order: "Now, you can leave."

John looked helpless. He knew that in the last exchange, the United States used its stock of E-2A to fool the Pakistanis. The person directly responsible in front of him was already angry. This matter cannot be solved by oneself. We must ask the ambassador to report to the country for discussion.
