Dominate South Asia

After receiving clear instructions from the country, Ambassador Lord hurriedly found President Zia-ul-Haq's personal letter to President Reagan, and it was a diplomatic letter that must be destroyed in person after reading it.

After reading the letter, when Ambassador Lord's letter was lit by a match and turned into smoke, Zia-ul-Haq knew that Mhamad's plan was successful, and the Americans were finally on their side on some issues.

At the same time, Brigadier General Watson approached Mhamad to discuss the additional funding for three F14 and two F16 fighters, which would be operated through certain commercial channels.

And this is also under Mhamad's calculation, and no guarantee is needed. Through Osama's connections, the Saudi royal family's commercial bank once again transferred funds to the United States through secret accounts, and of course these funds became part of Pakistan's new interest-free loan.

"What exactly do you need?" Brigadier General Watson said: "Intelligence? Ammunition? Plans?"

"We need to modify our fighter aircraft." Mhammad said: "We need to have aerial refueling capabilities. We need Tomcat fighters to launch Harpoon anti-ship missiles, Paveway series laser-guided bombs and Maverick air-to-surface missiles."

Harpoon anti-ship missile! Hearing this, Commodore Watson frowned: "Why do you want anti-ship missiles?"

Forget about the other two. Harpoon anti-ship missiles are the main anti-ship missiles of the United States. If there is any trouble in the future, Pakistani Tomcat fighter jets equipped with such missiles will pose a threat to American warships.

"There is only this kind of missile with a semi-armor-piercing warhead. If we want to blast through the thick cement protective layer of the nuclear base, we must use weapons with this warhead. Otherwise, you can provide us with ground-penetrating missiles." ." said Mhamad.

The ground-penetrating bomb is a special bomb developed by the United States. In the 1970s, the US military found that they were faced with a difficulty. They wanted to destroy the enemy's underground factories or laboratories, but they did not want to cause excessive damage to ground targets. Ordinary bombs were difficult to achieve, so they began to develop warheads that could penetrate the ground.

This kind of bomb is mainly used to destroy enemy missile silos, underground command posts, and even attack targets such as enemy submarines hidden under extremely deep ice. This kind of weapon can be regarded as a strategic-level weapon. The target is the enemy's nuclear facilities. In order to achieve the attack effect, many earth-penetrating bombs are also made with nuclear warheads.

The United States obviously cannot export this kind of weapon.

"Okay, we agree to your request." Brigadier General Watson said. It's just to bomb the Indian nuclear base. It doesn't require too many. A few are enough. There is no need to worry about the Pakistanis abusing it.

"We also need two KC-130 tankers." Mhamad continued: "You can choose to modify them for us, or get a brand new tanker."

Even the Tomcat has a long enough range. It is not enough to attack the Indian nuclear base in Mumbai. It must go through an aerial refueling, which involves tankers.

KC-130. It is an aerial tanker developed on the basis of the C-130 transport aircraft. The hose refueling method can provide 24 tons of fuel. Two of them are enough to meet the aerial refueling needs of the Pakistan Air Force. You can install fuel tanks inside the C-130 and add fuel pipes on the wings, or you can choose a model that is specially designed for refueling from the factory.

"If you have funds, we can sell you two. If you have insufficient funds, then we can only modify them for you." Brigadier General Watson said.

"Then we choose to buy it." Mhammad said: "We also need your intelligence support, satellite maps of that area, the dispatch of the Indian Navy. The distribution of nearby radar stations."

Most of the time when attacking Mumbai, they fly along the coast. You must pay attention to the situation along the coast. If the Indians discover it, they will send fighter planes to intercept it. Our own attack failed.

"We can definitely provide that," Brigadier General Watson said.

Everything has been negotiated. When it heard that it was going to blow up the Indian nuclear reactor, the United States did its best to provide Pakistan with equipment. This was an act in line with the interests of the United States.

After obtaining the consent of the United States, Grumman immediately airlifted the parts. Modification of Pakistani F-14 fighter jets.

The J-6 Maintenance Factory became lively again.

The focus is on the upgrade of avionics and radar, and the AWG-9 radar antenna. It still maintained its original state, and the circuit board behind the antenna was removed from the nose piece by piece, and a new digital circuit board was replaced.

Hamad watched the hard-working Grumman technicians at work and couldn't help but feel very satisfied.

"General Mhamad, welcome to visit." John was directing modifications next to a fighter plane. When he saw Mhamad appearing in front of him, he immediately came over to greet him.

"Well, this modification involves our counterattack against the Indians. Please ensure the quality of the modification." Mhamad said.

"Of course, it was completely modified according to your technical requirements and combined with our own strength." John said to Hamad: "APG-71 radar, new airborne computer, avionics, cockpit The instruments have also been replaced with new ones, as well as the AN/ASW27C two-way data link and AN/AL-1 tactical camera reconnaissance system that you requested, and we will install them for you. "

The improvement of the Tomcat fighter was approved by the US Congress, and the specific modification details were negotiated between Grumman and Pakistan. When Grumman learned of Muhammad's needs, it also included these two things in the scope of improvement.

As a powerful air superiority fighter, the Tomcat has a very practical function, that is, when the aircraft radar is silent, the radar officer in the back seat can obtain the relevant data of its radar search from other F14 fighters that are turned on for search through the AN/ASW27 two-way data link. This means that the F14 fleet can share intelligence information with each other, and even conduct air situation control and command like the MiG-31.

However, at the beginning, this data link was not well developed, and the initial A model needed to be transferred through the E2-C early warning aircraft before it could be used. This greatly reduced the actual combat effectiveness, and now Grumman has developed the latest C model of the AN/ASW27 two-way data link. This new model of data link abandons the condition that the F14 fighter must be transferred through the E2-C early warning aircraft when communicating with multiple aircraft. Even without the support of AWACS, four F14 fighters can form a temporary network. The usefulness of this function enables heavy fighters such as Tomcat to have the ability to act as small AWACS at any time!

The data links of other countries are very backward. For example, Eastern countries only obtained them after entering the new century and introducing Su-30MKK fighters from Russia. In terms of practical application, this data exchange capability between fleets will greatly expand the diverse choices of naval aviation or air force when completing specific tactical tasks.

For example, with the AN/ASW27C data link, the Pakistan Air Force can completely take off an F14 fighter carrying only standard air superiority weapons as a small AWACS aircraft, master the air situation and command other types of fighters such as F14, F16, A7, etc.

And now. The MiG-29 fighter is equipped with three fire control systems, radar, OEPS29 optoelectronic system and helmet sight. In fact, optoelectronic systems are not the patent of the Soviets. At this time, the Tomcat fighters were equipped with the AN/ALR-23 infrared detection system as standard. The detection range of this system for aircraft with afterburners turned on was about 40 kilometers, far exceeding the OEPS29 optoelectronic system of the MiG-29. However, false alarms often occurred, so the US Navy did not think highly of it.

In the later production of the f14A fighter, the AN/ALR-23 infrared detection system was replaced with the AN/AL-1 tactical camera reconnaissance system. Since the Pakistan Air Force is equipped with early models, the original infrared detection system is still used.

The core of the AN/AL-1 tactical camera reconnaissance system is a long-range optical television. In clear weather, it can automatically search and identify air targets within more than 90 kilometers of the aircraft. Then it is displayed on the flat-panel display in the F14 cockpit.

With these two systems, when Pakistan and the technicians of the Eastern countries digest and absorb them, they can combine these two systems into a new optoelectronic radar!

Muhammad nodded, very satisfied with the support of Grumman.

"Do we have any other means to defend against the Soviet R-73 missiles?" Muhammad said. This missile. Combined with the outstanding maneuverability of the MiG-29, the Tomcat fighters can't get too much advantage in close combat. It depends entirely on the quality of the pilots. Almost all of the Tomcat fighters lost by our side are due to this missile.

Even in the future, when East and West Germany merged, when the Americans came into contact with this fighter. Fighting with the F-16, the F-16 had no chance at close range and was locked every time.

This... John thought about it. This large off-axis combat missile. Grumman didn't expect it either, and. Grumman was only responsible for the development of the body, and the missile was a product of Raytheon, which had nothing to do with us.

How to defend against the R-73 missile? In addition to infrared bait, it seems that there is another thing. John kept thinking in his mind and finally came up with something.

"Maybe we can use xenon lamps." John said.

Xenon lamps? Hearing this, Muhammad was stunned for a moment. Isn't this thing often used in car headlights in later generations? Many car owners, who think their headlights are not bright enough, deliberately installed this thing. The low beam xenon lamp is fine, especially the one that is modified with the high beam and without a lens, is simply a killing tool. When it is turned on, the driver on the opposite side can't open his eyes at all, which greatly increases the probability of accidents. And those car owners are still complacent, not knowing the danger. For example, if a large truck on the opposite side is blinded by the light and a collision occurs, it is definitely the car driver who suffers.

At this time, the headlights of cars are mainly bulbs, and there is no such thing as xenon lamps. Such a high-end thing is used on airplanes!

In the early 1980s, in order to deal with infrared-guided missile attacks, the United States had developed an active defense device integrated with the infrared/radar warning device of fighter jets, using high-power xenon lamps to illuminate the seeker of the attacking missile, burn through the optoelectronic device of its seeker, and make it harmless.

At this time, the R-73 still used a single-phase infrared scanner, which burned through instantly when it was illuminated by the xenon lamp protection device. However, this device consumes too much electricity and can only protect the rear hemisphere of the fighter. Moreover, it is not very effective against radar-guided missiles, so the United States prefers to equip it on passenger planes.

After listening to John's introduction, Muhammad nodded: "Don't worry about the power consumption, equip our fighters with this device!"

In any case, this is finally a device to counter the R-73 missile. In the future, at the last moment, point the chrysanthemum at the missile, and then shine it like this, hum! Let the R-73 missile eat shit!

The Tomcat fighter, which has just been equipped with the troops for a year, has undergone large-scale improvements. This is simply a pure act of burning money. It seems that Pakistan has become confident immediately after occupying Srinagar. A Kashmir Valley can fill the stomachs of half of Pakistan's people! Therefore, Pakistan can free up more financial resources to carry out these plans.

Just as Pakistan began to improve its Tomcat fleet on a large scale for the next move, in the cold north, the huge polar bear empire was also carrying out a far-reaching fighter improvement plan.

Mikoyan Design Bureau.

At present, half of the skies around the world are flying MiG fighters, and this name is the first letter of the surnames of the founders of the Mikoyan Design Bureau, A-I-Mikoyan and M-Y-Grevich. The full name of the Mikoyan Design Bureau is "Mikoyan-Grevich Design Bureau". (To be continued ~^~)

PS: PS: I have to go back to my hometown these two days, which is more than 700 kilometers round trip. I am very sorry that I will only update twice a day these two days. Thank you for your understanding and support!
