"Actually, the war in 1991 did not mean anything. At that time, our MiG-29 was fighting alone, but the other party had the support of the entire information network and electronic interference. After our MiG-29 went up,

That’s the deaf and the blind.”

The rest of the time was spent with Smetanikov. At this time, he was taking Qin Tao and Xu Zhengyang to dine in the canteen inside the design bureau. After all, he couldn't afford to invite anyone from outside. At the same time, he also talked about Mi

The infamous thing about the G-29.

In the 1991 war, the MiG-29 was completely defeated. Therefore, the MiG-29 fell out of favor in the international arms market for this reason.

Can you blame them? In the combat system of the Soviet era, the MiG-29 was just a frontline fighter. It only needed to seize air supremacy on local battlefields. Other matters were left to the brother troops to solve.

However, in 1991, the MiG-29 had to confront the entire Western system. After its failure, it was smeared globally. This made them very distressed, but they had no way to refute it, because that was the fact.

Now, they encountered this situation.

"Even if the Su-27 went up at that time, it would not make any sense. After all, the radar of the Su-27 is still an enlarged version of our MiG-29 radar. When it comes to anti-interference and other capabilities, they are the same."

"It's useless to just complain. What matters is what to do next. Have you thought about it?" Qin Tao asked.

Anyway, I was bored and had a chat with this designer. Smetanikov had been working in the Mikoyan Design Bureau for decades. When he first entered the design bureau as an intern, he caught up with Mikoyan-

21. He also came over one model after another. If he could communicate happily and finally tricked him into going to China, it would save him the trouble of wiping his neck in the future.

You are doing good things.

"The biggest gap between us and the West is avionics, but even if our Mikoyan Design Bureau knew about it, there is nothing we can do about it. The avionics system is provided by Fazotron, and they are currently developing a beetle using a flat-panel slot antenna.

When the radar matures and is used on our MiG-29 fighter jets, it will undergo radical changes."

This is the case for aviation companies in any country. Those who build aircraft actually only build airframes and avionics engines, etc. They all rely on supporting units for research and development.

Not only the MiG-29, the Su-27 also suffered enough from the avionics equipment. If the radar was not overweight, it would have developed rickets all over the body.

After entering the 1990s, they finally began to move towards flat-panel gap radars. Beetle radar was the leader in this field. (I said earlier that Lao Maozi bypassed flat-panel gaps and went directly to phased arrays, which refers to the era of the Red Empire.

I don’t know if I made it clear.)

However, given the current situation, waiting for it to mature is not a matter of a day or two.

"Then, I have a little suggestion."

"Speaking."

"When you build the new MiG-29 with brand-new avionics, you can give it a more prestigious name, such as MiG-33, or MiG-35."

"Why?" Smetanikov was puzzled.

"Of course it is different from the previous MiG-29. Believe me, this is necessary. You can declare to the outside world that the MiG-35 is your new generation fighter." Qin Tao started to fool.

Can changing your name help you get rid of your bad reputation?

It's really possible in a short time.

In terms of tanks, the T-72 had a bad reputation, so it was renamed the T-90. Ah San actually purchased a large number of them. The same was true for the MiG-29. After modification, it was directly called the MiG-35.

Then take it out and promote it!

"Thank you, Mr. Qin, for your advice. When we..." Before Smetanikov could finish his words, he saw a companion hurriedly running over from outside.

"The chief engineer is back, please go to the office."

It was getting dark outside, and Belyakov finally came back.

"How's it going? Is there any good news?" Qin Tao looked at Belyakov.

"Those damn bureaucrats don't care about the life and death of our Mikoyan Design Bureau. If we wait for them to discuss it, it will take at least a month!" Belyakov said angrily.

Qin Tao knew clearly in his heart that this kind of bureaucracy actually had a purpose. After all, the transaction went smoothly and it was the Mikoyan Design Bureau that benefited, but the bureaucrats' pockets were not bulging.

They are waiting for someone to give them gifts.

Of course, Qin Tao has no intention of filling their pockets. Wouldn't it be nice to keep the remaining 200 million US dollars in his own pocket?

"So, we're going to say sorry?"

"No, Grishen agreed. First, I will deliver the fighter plane to you and get the money. It is not too late to go through this process slowly. In short, they can only be stuck for a period of time and cannot continue to be stuck."

Now it was Qin Tao's turn to be surprised: "How dare Grishen do this?"

The Arms Export Corporation has taken over all foreign arms export business. Although this has advantages, it also has responsibilities. Grishin will take a lot of risks by doing this kind of thing now.

"Yes, he knows the plight of our Mikoyan Design Bureau and knows that we need this funding. We also need to deal with the finished products. If we delay for a few more years, the built aircraft will become junk," Belyakov said.

: "He helped us coordinate the Yeisk base. Mr. Qin, please contact there. I will hand over the plane tomorrow night. The procedures for the missile may be a little more complicated."

"Okay, then I will pay you 200 million first. Tomorrow night, after the handover is completed, the money will be credited to your account."

Of course, Qin Tao would not make a loss-making business. They required the aircraft to be handed over first. There were still missiles left and a sum of money was needed. He had to withhold this money in advance.

"Mr. Qin, can you give us more?"

"Then give me an extra two million, and we can keep eight million, how about that?"

That's how the business was done.

Qin Tao had long known that Mikoyan had no customers for a batch of MiG-29s produced by Mikoyan. He also knew that Parthia needed modern fighters, so he was able to bridge the gap.

"This is just the beginning. In the future, our customers may need more MiG-29 fighters. Of course, each time it is a spot transaction, which is the safest. Don't use all the funds you get to develop new ones."

aircraft, part of the funds can be used to assemble unfinished aircraft on the production line, and maybe I will take away those aircraft when I come next time.”

Belyakov nodded: "We will."

If they want to enter a virtuous cycle, they must build aircraft and sell aircraft. They are just spot transactions, which has never happened.

"It won't be long before the carrier-based aircraft ordered by Ah San will continue to be produced, and you Mikoyan will be able to usher in a greater turning point. Keep at it, a bright future is waving to you!"

Qin Tao just said a few simple words, which almost moved Belyakov to tears.

Smetanikov, on the other hand, had already begun to wipe his tears. Sure enough, this guy was more emotional. No wonder he wiped his own neck later.

Keep at it, a bright future beckons!

In the world, the Caspian Sea is probably the weirdest sea. Although the name of the Caspian Sea has the word "sea" in it, most countries don't think of it as a sea. At best, it is just a super large inland lake.

Because the Caspian Sea is surrounded by land and does not have any outlet. However, it is big enough. The Caspian Sea, the largest inland lake in the world, has an area of ​​386,000 square kilometers, which is much larger than many seas.

This water does not come out of thin air, so although the Caspian Sea is surrounded by land, there are many rivers flowing into the Caspian Sea. Speaking of which, there are more than 130 rivers such as the Volga River, the Ural River, the Kura River, and the Terek River.

river.

Therefore, the countries along the Caspian Sea have also formed fleets, the largest of which is of course Mao's Caspian Sea Fleet.

Being able to serve in this fleet should be the happiest thing. No matter what kind of war they encounter, the Caspian Fleet should not need to participate in the war. They only need to sit back and wait for death until they retire.

After all, those countries along the Caspian Sea will not have any conflict with Da Mao.

Since the strength of the Caspian Fleet is not very good, there is no need for them to cross various rivers to fight outside.

It's calm here and everything is safe here. As the smallest fleet, the Caspian Fleet does not have a supporting aviation base. However, near them, there is the Yeysk base supporting the Black Sea Fleet. In this base, Mao's naval aviation is stationed

force.

Now, this base is still unknown, even semi-abandoned. There are several aircraft in the hangar that cannot be repaired, and the salable parts have been sold long ago. There is currently only one platoon of security personnel guarding the airport.

In a few years, Mao will be unable to use the Nitka base in the Crimean Peninsula, and it is too risky to fly directly to the aircraft carrier for training. A new Nitka training base will be built here to make this base famous.

Rise up.

The base's runway was covered with weeds, and a rabbit shuttled through the weeds. Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.

Bang!

The rabbit fell down at the sound, with a hole in its head and blood gurgling out.

Then, the body with residual warmth was picked up by a furry hand.

"I'm really lucky today. I actually got a rabbit, so we can eat it." Ivan, the guard at the base, said happily.

"Yes, I haven't eaten meat for a long time. This rabbit is not enough to eat. It would be great if I could get some sheep. I want to cook the mutton."

"Sheep? There are sheep in the nearby village. Should we look for a chance to get one?"

The two looked at each other and then nodded.

At this moment, the base's whistle sounded. One short and five long, emergency gathering?

Ivan held the gun in his left hand and the rabbit in his right hand, and ran towards the tower of the base with his companions.

The head of the base, Wallisi, watched his men continue to gather and looked at his watch again. He was quite dissatisfied. If this was a war, he would have been killed long ago if he was so slow!

However, when he saw Ivan holding the rabbit in his hand, he didn't get angry.

"Okay, now we have officially announced an emergency notice. Our superiors have ordered us to clean the runway at the base and check the runway lights. A group of planes will land at our base tonight."

"Our base actually has a plane?"

"Does that mean our base will return to normal? In the future, will wages be paid normally?"

"That's military pay. We are soldiers, not ordinary employees!"

"Okay, stop talking and get ready to go. Ivan, take your rabbit to the canteen!"

"yes!"
