In the Middle East, where big oil tyrants and tyrants gather together, Persia is an alternative. Relying on abundant underground natural resources, it used to be rich, otherwise it would not be able to afford a $80 million Tomcat.
This is just bare metal price, not including ammunition training and after-sales service.
But Persia chose to leave the control of Eagle Sauce after the 1970s. It intends to develop on its own but is blocked by Europe and the United States, and lacks funding and technology sources.
Persia's industrial system is considered very good in the Middle East, but the second-generation model is stumbled, and the third-generation model is even more hopeless.
Later, after the four generations of florists were developed, the whole world felt that they could do it themselves. Persia also did..., a weird model.
After the Iran-Iraq War, because of religious disturbances, Yingjiang implemented a blockade, and Persian "Tomcat" faced the dilemma of lack of spare parts. The availability rate of the fleet continues to decline, and the number of available fighters continues to shrink.
But no matter how it shrinks, the'Tomcat' is the most powerful weapon in the Persian military. Especially in the 1990s, this thing was so advanced that all flower growers became popular among flower growers.
First of all, this is a purely pedigree carrier-based aircraft-why does Persia, without an aircraft carrier, choose a carrier-based aircraft, then only God knows. After all, Pahlavi, who bought this thing, died in 1980.
The variable swept wing of the Tomcat is complicated and expensive, and the manufacturing technology requirements are quite high. The advantage is that it takes into account the two indicators of high-speed interception and low-speed cruise.
It can quickly jump to the battle position after takeoff, hover for a long time 400 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier, and rely on the command of the early warning aircraft to attack or prevent the enemy from approaching.
The highest speed near Mach 2.4 allows the Tomcat to fight and escape.
The AN/AWG-9 radar is a powerful air combat artifact. When it first entered service in the 1970s, it cooperated with the long-range "phoenix" and the short- and medium-range "sparrow" and "rattlesnake", and it had no opponents in the air.
If such a fighter has enough logistical support, it can be extremely powerful.
It's a pity that Persia was blocked.
Zhou Qingfeng lay on the hillside near Tabriz Airport and stared at the airport for several hours.
The Persian Air Force stationed here took off and landed several sorties in the early morning. Among them, the "Tomcat" was only seen once, but the RF-5E reconnaissance aircraft flew quite frequently.
Many people feel that the enemy's enemy is a friend. But this description is not true. The enemy's enemy is not necessarily a friend. It may also be an arrogant, arrogant, low-eyed idiot.
Zhou Qingfeng has no good feelings about Persia, because the Persians have an inexplicable self-superiority, which is more magical than the third brother. Although the third brother is funny, he knows how to make friends, and the thick-skinned city wall.
Persians don’t think this way.
The Tomcat that took off in the morning flew a few times in the air and landed back to the open hangar on the east side of the airport. There are terminal buildings and towers over there. Passengers have to rely on shuttle buses to get in and out of the airport.
The outside of the airport was closed with barbed wire, and guards in gray-green military uniforms led dogs to patrol the surroundings. Yingjiang has been thinking of ways to destroy the "Tomcat" in Persia's hands, including buying the inside line to tear down the "phoenix".
In order to protect the "sacred object" in its hands, the Persian Air Force also worked hard and did not dare to be negligent.
Zhou Qingfeng didn't move throughout the day, just circling the airport a few kilometers away. Waited until the night, he appeared on the stage.
After dark, the airport guards stepped up their guard. But they don't have night vision goggles. They rely on the patrol team to sweep the torch and the nose of the police dog back and forth.
This simply couldn't stop the violent Zhou Qingfeng. He can run for several kilometers at a speed of 100 meters, as if a gust of wind had crossed the airport cordon.
The barbed wire fence a few meters high is full of barbs, and ordinary people are daunted. He can turn it over with a single hand, just in the blink of an eye.
Even if a dog smells him, he will be fooled by the arcane magic of'soothing animals'. One or two guards noticed something strange, and they could only see the blurred shadows.
There are several hangars, which are actually open hangars. Zhou Qingfeng randomly picked one close. The lights in the shed are brightly lit, and what hits the eye is..., scaffolding
Well, it's not the scaffolding, it's the maintenance ladder.
The huge'tomcat' stopped inside, and the ground crew in overalls turned around the body like ants. Tabriz base can only carry out ordinary daily maintenance for the fighters. If there is a major repair, the fighter must be transferred to Isfahan.
The hangar selected by Zhou Qingfeng is the'tomcat' flying during the day, and a dozen Persian ground crews are busy. Zhou Qingfeng also didn't know what they were doing, they only released the sleeping technique one by one.
The soul slave appeared and held the fallen ground crew. They changed their bodies and transformed themselves into unshaven Persians, standing in their original posts, pretending to be.
If there are outsiders passing by, they can also cover up one or two.
Arcie followed Zhou Qingfeng in, turned into liquid metal and entered the body of the'Tomcat', flowing around like mercury, one at the nose and the other at the tail.
There is maintenance equipment like a power distribution cabinet next to the fighter. Several skin openings are opened under the belly, and a large number of cables extend from the ground through the detection interface under the skin for maintenance.
A large number of maintenance manuals and assembly guides are placed next to the maintenance equipment. Sophia floated out of the void, and the'Scholar's Touch' absorbed the information.
"Master, these maintenance manuals are incomplete, and the parts related to overhaul must go to Isfahan."
Because of the purchase of fighters, the Persians received professional training from Eagle Sauce, including overhauling skills. Isfahan has the Persian Aviation Manufacturing Industry Company, where the overhaul and transformation of the "Tomcat" are carried out.
On the other side, Arcie jumped out of the engine nozzle at the tail of the plane and shouted joyfully: "Master, this plane can fly. As long as you replenish fuel and ammunition, you will be able to beat the American troops in the Persian Gulf in a few hours."
Zhou Qingfeng is here to make trouble. In fact, he is very close to success. But standing in front of the'Tomcat' to intuitively feel the deterrence brought by this heavy fighter, he had other thoughts in his mind.
Flower growers did not buy the "Varyag" until 1999, and did not tow the warship home until 2002. It was rebuilt in 2005 and delivered in 12 years.
And now it is 1992, and over 60% of the "Varyag" was built at the Nikolayev Shipyard in the Black Sea. When towed home, the ship's exterior was rusty, almost like scrap iron.
In addition to lack of money and foreign obstacles, there is a very important reason why it has been delayed for so long. There is no carrier-based aircraft in the country.
As for the alliance’s carrier-based aircraft, it’s worth mentioning that the combat capability of the "mast defender" of the Yak-38 is quite limited, and the reliability is extremely poor.
The domestically purchased Su-27SK will not arrive until August this year, and the self-assembly will not begin until 1998. As for the J-15, it was also made on the prototype of the Su-33.
You can get the Su-33 prototype, but Yingjiang’s Tomcat is a mass-produced machine. This is not to play Gundam, the mass production machine is stronger.
Zhou Qingfeng thought about buying the Varyag now? Think about it carefully, it's nothing.
I don’t have any carrier-based planes. Can I buy it back as a private yacht
A private yacht of more than 60,000 tons is not expensive. When it was sold in 1999, it was only 20 million US dollars. It was very prestigious when it was bought.
Do you want to go to Isfahan and touch the bottom of the Tomcat? This day, apart from the "Grumman" company of Yingjiang, only the Persian family has this stuff.
It's all here, just take a trip.
