Chapter 25： MiG-Twenty-Five Pressure

The island country, Fussa Town, Tama County, is the headquarters of the U.S. Army in Japan.

Over here, the Stars and Stripes of the United States fluttered. As a victorious country, the United States entered the island country arrogantly, realizing the purpose of garrisoning troops in the island country and checking and balancing the Soviet Union and China. The headquarters of the Fifth Air Force is located at Yokota Base.

"The MiG-25 is the latest Soviet fighter. We underestimated the performance of this fighter before." Lieutenant General Paul James, the commander of the US military in Japan, is also the commander of the US Fifth Air Force in Japan. Colonel Rusfield, chief of intelligence at the Pacific Command, said: "After our investigation, we found that this fighter not only has excellent high-altitude and high-speed performance, but also can fly at an altitude of about 30,000 meters at an altitude of more than 2.5 Mach flies at the speed of the flight, but also has considerable close combat ability. By investigating the close combat of the Ivy League with the Soviet MiG-25, we found that the F-4 fighter has serious problems in various flight performance. There is a gap. Hovering, accelerating and climbing, it can't compete with the MiG-25 in all aspects, even if the opponent is flying an excellent pilot, the performance gap of the fighter is still very large."

In the last defeat, the White House decision-making department did not order to continue to exert military pressure, but quickly dispatched technicians to investigate the cause of the defeat, and the recovery of EP-3 was mainly focused on diplomacy.

Now, the results of the investigation have surprised the Americans. The MiG-25 is putting enormous pressure on their air force.

"Our Sparrow missile cannot reach an altitude of 30,000 meters. At the same time, when the opponent accelerates beyond Mach 2, we cannot guarantee a reliable head-on interception due to the response time of the electronic system." Colonel Rusfield continued: " In this way, we will be in a very difficult situation, we can't intercept, let the other party fly over our heads, and when we want to pursue, our missiles can't keep up with the speed of the other party."

"What's even more terrifying is that this fighter has a considerable range and can fly supersonic all the way from the opposite Far East base, circle the land, and then fly back! If the Soviets used this aircraft to drop bombs, Then we have no other way but to use the missiles."

"Yes, this kind of aircraft puts too much pressure on our air defense system. It is impossible for us to arrange air defense positions for the entire island country." Lieutenant General Paul said.

Now, the other party is here to investigate, and the results of the investigation are almost the same as what Lieutenant General Paul has.

Of course they don't know that these are actually blindfolded, and the range is not so outrageous. Andre, the driver of the fighter plane, flew back with an engine, and there was an accident when he landed.

As for throwing bombs, unless it is built-in, the increased air resistance makes it impossible for the fighter to exceed the speed of Mach two.

"Everyone can read Pravda from the Soviet Union the day before yesterday." At this moment, a thin middle-aged man with a gloomy face sitting on a chair said, and put a newspaper on the table.

"Locke, do you CIA just collect intelligence from Soviet newspapers?" Looking at the newspaper, Colonel Rusfeld couldn't help sneering, can the news in the newspaper be used as intelligence?

This middle-aged man, the person in charge of the CIA's Far East, also came to Tokyo this time to coordinate the handling of the EP-3 incident.

In fact, this sentence is also a good question. Most of the information the CIA obtained about the Soviet Union was obtained from Soviet newspapers.

No way, under the system of the Soviet Union, the work of intelligence personnel is difficult to carry out. No matter how many directors of the CIA have been replaced, the intelligence on the Soviet Union is all from the newspapers. Although there are exaggerated elements in the newspapers, but After analysis, it still has practical value.

For example, now, this Pravda newspaper reports on the front page of how a captain and pilot of the Soviet Air Defense Force, a guy named Vladimir Andrei, flew the most advanced Soviet MiG-25 fighter. , defending their own country's airspace sovereignty. It may be exaggerated, but it can be matched, it should be the guy who flew over Hokkaido last time.

In particular, the above picture is still attached. You can see that the pilot named Andre is going through the gangway to climb on the plane. The helmet the pilot wears is specially designed for high-altitude flight, almost the same as the astronaut's helmet. Similarly, you can also see the huge rectangular air intake of the aircraft, and the round warhead of the missile mounted under the wing, which is an infrared-guided medium-range bomb!

These are all information that can be mined.

Lieutenant General Paul picked up the newspaper, and while he was reading it, he heard Locke say: "Our CIA, of course, does not only collect information from newspapers, Mr. Lieutenant General, we have used an agent who has been lurking in the Soviet Union for four years for this purpose. , if the situation goes well, we can instigate a MiG-25 pilot and defect to us in the MiG-25. At that time, the problem of EP-3 will be solved. ."

Instigated a MiG-25 pilot and defected in a MiG-25! Hearing this, Lieutenant General Paul was instantly moved.

If it can really be successful, then of course it would be great! No matter how you analyze it now, it is only an after-the-fact analysis. If you can get close contact with a MiG-25 and disassemble it for research, then you will know why the Soviets developed this fighter with almost alien technology. Now, if it is possible, the United States can imitate a batch, and it will not bear such a huge pressure!

At the same time, there is no need for the United States to be ashamed. The Soviets will definitely exchange EP-3 with their own side immediately. At that time, they will have to look at their own face. It is also worthwhile to use an agent who has been hiding for four years!

"Locke, this is a big event, how do we need to cooperate?" Lieutenant General Paul asked.

"Confidentiality." Throwing these two words down, Locke walked away. He really couldn't stand Colonel Rusfield's face.

Lieutenant General Paul continues to read the newspaper, hero? This guy single-handedly ran over Hokkaido. Could it be made by the high-level Soviets? How did the rest of the MiG-25 return to the midline of the Sea of ​​Japan?

Moreover, according to Soviet standards, this MiG-25 should be an interceptor, right? What's the difference between this interceptor and a fighter?

It seems that it is up to the CIA to unravel all the mysteries. If they can turn against the Soviet pilots and study the MiG-25 at close range, they will be able to understand it.
