Sitting in a luxuriously decorated office, Commander Kordunov, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Home Defense Force, frowned and read a report. After reading every word of the report, he continued to read it over and over again. , and finally he put the report on the table with a stiff movement, as if he were putting a fragile porcelain bowl instead of a stack of paper.
"Comrade Zakurov, how much of this report do you think is true?" Kordunov asked.
Zakurov, who once served as a MiG-25 pilot and is now a major general in the Soviet Home Defense Force, replied cautiously: "Logically, most of the contents of this report should be true"
The head coach of the Air Force, who looked like a bloated big furry bear, slapped his hand on the table and cursed: "You mean, the Chinese who were once dismissed by us have completely thrown away our great people in the Air Force. Soviets? If the Chinese want to harm our great alliance, then our homeland defense air force will have no power to fight back? "
Zakurov was frightened and said: "Comrade Commander, the Chinese do not dare to do anything to us. The nuclear bombs in our hands are enough to destroy them hundreds of times."
Kordunov said angrily: "If we need to rely on nuclear weapons to deal with the weak Chinese, then where will our homeland defense air force show its face?!"
Zakurov could only say: "The cunning Chinese must have carried out particularly in-depth cooperation with the imperialist United States and capitalist minions and acquired some key technologies. The main tactics displayed by the Chinese Air Force "Strength is their ability in beyond-visual-range air combat and the means to gain opportunities through electromagnetic suppression. In close-range dogfights, the Chinese are definitely no match for us."
Kordunov was still dissatisfied: "A dogfight? You couldn't even see the enemy's shadow and the enemy shot you down. What's the point of fighting? We must get the Chinese intelligence about how powerful over-the-horizon air combat is, so that the KGB can At any cost and by all means, we must obtain the Chinese missiles with long-range attack and accurate hit rate!¡±
Zakurov asked again: ¡°What about the Chinese¡¯s electronic warfare?¡±
Kordunov narrowed his eyes and said: "Let's do it together and make it the best. Even if we can't do it, we still have to find out how the Chinese did it. Our scientists are much better than Chinese scientists." , we will definitely be able to develop electronic warfare weapons that are more powerful than them."
"Yes, Comrade Commander!"
Kordunov is not relaxed at all now, and his mood is still extremely anxious. Naturally, the Vietnamese helped them compensate for the losses of the four MiG-25s, but Kordunov couldn't be happy after being overpowered by the rabbit he originally looked down upon. According to two Soviet pilots rescued by the Vietnamese at that time, they described their experiences in more detail - they were electromagnetic suppressed shortly after taking off, and neither radar nor communications could work properly, so several aircraft were The sky became deaf and blind, and they never saw a Chinese plane from beginning to end. Only the missiles that suddenly rushed out shot them down one by one.
Zakurov raised another question at this time: "Could it be the AIM-54 Phoenix missile launched by the F-14 that China obtained from Iran that shot down our MiG-25?"
Kordunov said: "There is a possibility, but the Iranians also operate Chinese FC-1 fighter jets. It is said that they are also equipped with a fire-and-forget medium-range air-to-air missile produced by China. I think it is this kind of Missiles are more likely. The information we have received is that China has not yet begun to install the F-14s obtained from Iran and the United States. It is said that they are working with the Americans to upgrade and improve them. "
"China is a potential enemy, and we should pay more attention to it."
Kordunov snorted and said angrily: "After the new general secretary came to power, he didn't seem to care about strengthening our armaments. I even went to see the Georgian (Soviet Foreign Minister Shevardna) before. Ze), he actually said that we should be committed to rapprochement with China. Compared with our external enemies, these internal silverfish are the ones who may put the Soviet Union in danger. "
Zakurov also suggested: "Since Iran has Chinese missiles in its hands, we may be able to ask Iran for one or two, dismantle them for research, and maybe reverse engineer and copy them, and then develop our weapons." "
Kordunov looked ugly and said: "You think we can't figure out such a simple truth? I have been in contact with people from Iran for a long time. The Chinese are very careful about their missiles. Every one of them Strict records must be kept on how to use and where to keep them, and Iran will be held accountable if problems arise. They even stationed so-called technical maintenance personnel in Iran to supervise the use of weapons. Iran wants to provide us with Chinese missile samples. But unfortunately, theyNot enough. "
He said fiercely: "Also, when did we end up trying to pick up Chinese technology? Please urge the Pennant Design Bureau. I want them to speed up the R-77 project. The Americans have Phoenix. , the Chinese have also ignored it, where should we put the dignity of the Soviet Union?¡±
"Yes, Comrade Commander. But there is another question. Vietnam has proposed the idea of ??leasing more powerful fighters to us. Do we still want to support them?"
Kordunov asked: "What do you think?"
Zakurov said frankly: "I don't think it makes much sense anymore. We have generally understood the combat mode of the Chinese Air Force, which uses fire-and-forget advanced air-to-air missiles and electromagnetic suppression battlefields to form a huge air battle against the enemy." Advantages. From this point of view, China's fighters are not advanced in a weapons platform, but in their combat thinking. I firmly believe that the air combat capabilities of the MiG-29 or Su-27 are better than those of the Chinese. The fighter jets are powerful, but even so, if the radar and communication functions are cut off by the Chinese, we will become particularly passive. The Chinese Air Force will not intend to fight us one-on-one in the air like medieval knights. In a duel, they will use their own advantages to weaken the mobility advantages of our MiG-29s and Su-27s.¡±
He took a breath and said the most important reason: "More importantly, this war is actually just a border conflict between Vietnam and China. Battles involving tens of thousands of people have almost never been fought. The Chinese Air Force It is also limited to using air force cover or conducting battlefield interdiction tasks within the territory it claims to belong to, and does not bomb other military and civilian facilities in Vietnam. Strategically, China is vigorously promoting economic development and deviating from socialism. It seems that it wants to become a capitalist country, and China, which is economically weak, is unable to support a large-scale aggressive war. Therefore, situationally speaking, Vietnam only suffered a loss on the air combat battlefield, but there is nothing more practical. danger."
Kordunov nodded after hearing what the major general said, thinking it was very reasonable. Now no one thinks that the Tu family will march into Vietnam with a large army like they did in 1979. Their war has been going on for several years, and they all revolve around the barren mountainous area, playing a mountain-top game without any sense of art. Although China has now used the magic weapon of its own air force advanced fighter aircraft, it does not mean that the Chinese will rely on this advantage to achieve greater results. Many strategic experts in the Soviet Union have seen through the essence of the war - to use tense conflicts to suppress Vietnam's development and cause them domestic difficulties.
To put it bluntly, this is a revenge on Vietnam, rather than beating Vietnam to death with a stick.
At this time, Kordunov asked another question: "Major General Zakurov, you have also flown the MiG-29. Who do you think China's advanced fighters will win against our MiG-29?" lose?"
Zakurov carefully replied: "It's hard to say, because after all, I haven't seen the real thing. I just imagined the situation of Chinese fighter jets through the content in the report. However, I firmly believe that the number of these advanced Chinese fighter jets must be limited, and they are really made of When the Soviet Union fights against China, we have many more means than Vietnam can use. Even if China has electronic suppression, we can still contain the Chinese fighter jets. When the time comes, we will give full play to our mobility advantage and defeat the Chinese to the fullest. Looking for teeth."
Kordunov was quite satisfied after hearing this, nodded and said, "I hope so."

When the Soviets were discussing and worrying about Tujia¡¯s fighter planes, they did not expect that in China at this moment, Qi Yiming would release his new toy.
This fighter is a STOVL (short take-off and vertical landing fighter) prepared for Hainan Airlines. The technology is based on the Allied Intruder fighter in Red Alert 2. At this time, the base gave him another great gift. His fighter unit shot down more than 20 enemy aircraft in total (including data shot down by the Iranian Air Force by Red Alert pilots). The base's air command department gave him a new function - arms fusion.
It's just that this fusion ability is very unintelligent and is similar to a reward. After using it once, you won't know when it can be used next time. What's even more rigid is that the fusion object can only be Qi Yiming's choice of one piece of equipment in Red Alert, and The base system randomly selects the existing equipment for him to fuse. It may be PLA weapons or other Red Alert weapons.
Qi Yiming gave this opportunity to the fusion Intruder fighter. With a little anxiety, he pressed the start button. As a result, the base selected Shenyang's J-8II to fuse with the Intruder fighter.
"Well, it's not too bad. If I choose the J-6 for fusion, I'll really cry." Qi Yiming somewhat comforted himself. In fact, this fusion was quite a precious opportunity, because although he I have a lot of heavily modified PLA weapons and equipment, but I still haveBefore I designated the J-10 to take off and land vertically, the J-10 took off and landed vertically.
At most, he can modify a vector nozzle for the J-10, but it is still beyond his ability to achieve a real STOVL. The fusion function can combine several distinctive features of the fighter aircraft and solve the problem of arms development cycle that may last more than ten years.
