Dominate South Asia

Originally, the Soviet Union's focus was Europe. No matter what advanced weapons it was, it was always equipped with European ones first, such as T-80 tanks and MiG-29 fighters.

But now, the situation has changed. Due to the absolute disadvantage over Afghanistan, the Soviet Union has experienced an absolute disadvantage. Several air battles have ended in failure. Therefore, the Soviet Union has changed its strategy. The new fighter planes are prepared for the Afghan battlefield!

Now, the improvement work of the MiG-29 has been completed. At the request of the Soviet Air Force, the Mikoyan Design Bureau has carried out a large number of rectifications. The process of launching R-73 combat bombs has also been simplified, and many of them have been replaced by automated devices. At the same time, advanced fighters such as the Su-27 have also been manufactured. As it is equipped with troops, it will completely compete with the Tomcat fighters for air supremacy!

"What are the main weapons of this fighter plane?" Air Marshal Yefimov continued.

"Mainly our R-73 combat missiles and R-27 medium-range missiles." Simonov said: "Among them, the R-73 missile has demonstrated strong combat capabilities on the Afghan battlefield, and the American AIM-9L combat missile , not as advanced as ours at all, combined with our helmet sights And the optoelectronic system can prevent the Tomcat fighter from gaining any benefit in close combat. The R-27 missile is our newly developed medium-range missile, and its performance exceeds the French 530D and the American AIM-7M Sparrow. These missiles of ours exceed the equipment of the Pakistan Air Force.”

"What about the long-range aspect?" Air Marshal Yefimov said: "The Tomcat fighter jets are equipped with Phoenix missiles and can attack us from a long range. Do we have corresponding long-range missiles?"

Long-range missile? Yes, yes, the R-33 missile is mounted on the MiG-31, but. This kind of missile needs to be supported by advanced radar. Only the extremely expensive phased array radar on the MiG-31 can support the launch of this missile. Although the radar on the Su-27 has a limited detection range for bomber targets, It exceeds 200 kilometers. However, for a target with a reflection area of ​​3 square meters, the effective detection distance will not exceed 80 kilometers. At such a distance, in the process of preparing to launch the missile, it has already reached the range of medium-range missiles.

Moreover, the weight of R-33 exceeds half a ton! Due to rickets caused by constant weight loss, the maximum loading capacity of the Su-27 does not exceed four tons. When two R-33s are mounted, the maneuverability of the carrier aircraft will be further hindered. fly. I can't do any maneuvers. It was not until the Su-27SK of later generations that the plug-in capability was improved to eight tons.

However, all this cannot be said. The Su-27 has been developed for so many years. If it cannot be put into service, engineers like them will bear the anger from the top!

"We currently only have one R-33, which is equipped on the MiG-31. We hope that the Rainbow Design Bureau can develop a long-range missile specifically for our fighters." Simonov said.

in history. The Rainbow Design Bureau developed the KS-172 ultra-long-range missile powered by a ramjet engine, with a range of more than 300 kilometers. It is specially used to attack enemy early warning aircraft and other targets. However, it is already the 21st century when it is truly finalized. .

The Air Force has to contend with more than just the F-15. There are also F-14s that use Phoenix, and there must be corresponding means!

"While the Su-27 is put into production, we will integrate the R-33 into the Su-27. We can't wait for new missiles." Air Marshal Yefimov said.

Integrating R-33? Simonov was shocked. They can only agree, they have no other choice.

Integrate? Which hanging point can hang more than half a ton? The rack needs to be strengthened. You have to strengthen your body, and to strengthen your body, you have to gain weight.

However, no matter how the integration goes, at least this fighter jet is put into production. Sukhoi Design Bureau can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Afghanistan is like a heavy burden, constantly dragging down the Soviet Union. However, the Soviet Union cannot let go of this burden. This means that the military operation that sacrificed countless Soviet soldiers has failed. However, as it continues to fight, the Soviet Union seems to have no consequences. It’s done, whether it’s weapons or economy.

As the United States continues to put pressure on the Middle East in the international market, world crude oil prices continue to slump. The Soviet Union's most dependent economy, oil exports, has been losing money. Oil extraction in plateau permafrost is very expensive. Now The crude oil exported by the Soviet Union was lower than the production cost. However, if it did not export, all the oil workers would be unemployed. The Soviet Union would have to relocate those workers. No matter what the choice, it would be very difficult.

Therefore, the Soviet Union is just maintaining the status quo in Afghanistan. How to deal with the new northern Afghan regime is not a matter for Chernenko, but for his next term.

However, the Soviet troops had no tolerance for the rioting southern Afghanistan.

The Forty Army already has enough headaches in the north. If there is another major unrest in the south, the Soviet troops will really have nowhere to go.

MiG-23, Su-17, Mi-24, BMP infantry fighting vehicle, BTR wheeled fighting vehicle, as well as a large number of Soviet troops and Afghan government troops, began to strangle the guerrillas in the south.

The southern guerrillas relied on assistance from Iran and had no air cover at all. They kept retreating and had almost no way to escape.

The Soviet attack was quite sharp, and the guerrillas seemed to be betrayed by a traitor. They had just escaped to a village, and within half an hour, the Soviet helicopter had arrived.

The Soviets used harsh methods to suppress the guerrillas in the south. Soon, the armed forces of the party alliance were reduced to a state of survival. It was only a matter of time before they were completely eliminated.

The war affected many villages, and those who sympathized with the guerrillas were often wiped out. This made the local Afghan people hate the Soviets, but also yearned for the Liberal Party regime in the north. I heard that the government there had completely With the situation under control, not even the Soviets dared attack them!

I heard that they mined a lot of mines and now live very richly!

After constantly hearing about it, some people finally couldn't hold it in any longer and decided to quietly move to the territory controlled by the Liberal Party in the north to find a job and support their families.

Islamabad.

A well-traveled bearded man entered Islamabad and entered the presidential palace.

"Your Excellency Mhamad, I'm here." The bearded man walked into Mhamad's office and called out in a very friendly manner.

"Osama!" Seeing the person coming from the opposite side, Hamad was also very excited: "You're back so soon?"

"Yes, the south no longer needs our help." Osama said: "Those guys are too inexperienced and have been disabled by the Soviets. If it weren't for our plan, I would really want to help them."

Of course Osama understood the spirit of Hamad's actions. Those guys from the southern guerrillas, under the control of the eight-party alliance, could not cooperate with the Liberal Party government in the north. The complicated war in Afghanistan was due to the party's too much power. There are many causes, so these people need to be eliminated.

Rather than driving away the Soviet Union and starting a civil war in the future, it is better to use the hands of the Soviets to eradicate them now.

Can unity unite the force? The current Afghan Free Army is already very powerful. It does not need those people at all. It can also independently sweep away the current Afghan puppet government and deal a heavy blow to the Soviet army. They do not need the power of the south. If the power of the south becomes stronger, It will cause more trouble in the future.

However, looking at those Soviets, Osama felt itchy. Using the banner of southern guerrillas, Osama eliminated many Soviet troops.

Now, the fighting in the south is fierce, and the Soviets are determined to wipe out all the forces in the south.

At this time, there was no need for Osama's team to provoke any more, and Osama, after receiving the news from Mhamad, came to Pakistan.

"Osama, I called you here this time because I have another important task." Mhamad said.

Osama's ears immediately pricked up. He likes tasks very much. The more important and difficult the task, the more he likes it. The time he spent in the office of the liberal government was killing him.

"What mission?" Osama said.

"Go to Iran again and contact the spiritual leader. The Americans have sent them weapons." Mhammad said.

Last time in the United States, Hamad promised to fish out the Americans kidnapped by the Lebanese extremist organization.

Even if he is an ordinary American citizen, the President of the United States has to rescue him. What's more, the first American kidnapped was Buckley, the first secretary of the U.S. Embassy in Lebanon and the director of the CIA's Beirut station.

This guy was from the CIA and was kidnapped by terrorists. He really got his brain kicked in the ass.

Moreover, six more Americans have been kidnapped. The current Reagan administration is very troubled.

The kidnappers proposed three conditions to the U.S. government for the release of the hostages: the release of 17 prisoners who were thrown into prison by the Kuwait government in 1983 for participating in the planning and attack of the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait; the U.S. government exerted pressure on Israel and released prisoners detained by Israel and South Africa. Palestinians and Lebanese imprisoned by the Lebanese Army; loans provided to develop South Lebanon.

None of these conditions are acceptable to the U.S. government. The U.S. government cannot compromise with terrorists. Otherwise, once this is done, in the future, those terrorists will use kidnapping methods to threaten the United States, and the United States will lose its prestige. . However, the Reagan administration had to rescue them, otherwise it would follow Carter's old path. Now, the US election is about to begin again. (To be continued ~^~)
