Chapter 675: Pathfinder (3)

In the Middle East, where the big tyrants and tycoons come together, Persia is an alternative. Relying on abundant underground natural resources, it used to be rich in oil, otherwise it would not be able to afford a $80 million Tomcat.
This is only the price of bare metal, not including ammunition training and after-sales.
But Persia chose to leave the Eagle Sauce control after the 1970s. It intends to develop itself but is blocked by Europe and the United States, and it lacks funds and technical resources.
The Persian industrial system is considered to be very good in the Middle East, but the imitation of a second-generation machine is stumbling, and the third-generation machine is even less expected.
Later, after the flower cultivators made four generations of machines, the whole world felt that they could do the same. Persia has also done..., made a weird model.
After the Iran-Iraq War, because of religious chaos, Eagle Jam implemented a blockade, and the Persian Tomcats faced a dilemma of lack of spare parts. The proper rate of the fleet continues to decline, and the available fighters continue to shrink.
But no matter how it shrinks, the Tomcat is the most powerful weapon among the Persian military forces. Especially in the 1990s, the advanced nature of this gadget made all flower-growers alive.
First of all, this is a pure carrier-based aircraft-why does Persia without an aircraft carrier choose a carrier-based aircraft, then only God knows. After all, Pahlavi bought this thing in 80 years.
The variable sweeping wing of the Tomcat is complicated and expensive, and the manufacturing technology requirements are quite high. The advantage is that it takes into account both the high-speed interception and the low-speed cruise.
It can quickly rush to the battle position after takeoff, hover for a long time 400 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier, rely on the command of the early warning aircraft to launch an attack on the opponent or prevent the enemy from approaching.
The highest speed near Mach 2.4 allows Tomcat to fight and escape.
Radar is an air warfare artifact with a powerful performance. When it first served in the 1970s, it cooperated with the long-range ‘Undead Bird’ and the medium- and short-range ‘sparrows’ and ‘Rattlesnake’, and had no opponents in the air.
If such a fighter has enough logistic support, the power is endless.
Unfortunately, Persia was blocked.
Zhou Qingfeng lay on the hillside near Tabriz Airport and stared at the airport for hours.
The Persian Air Force stationed here took off and landed several sorties of fighters early in the morning. The Tomcat was only seen once, but the rf-5e reconnaissance aircraft flew quite frequently.
Many people think that the enemy of the enemy is a friend. But this description is actually not true. The enemy of the enemy is not necessarily a friend. It may also be an idiot with high arrogance and low eyes.
Zhou Qingfeng doesn't like Persia because the Persians have some inexplicable self superiority, which is more magical than the third brother. Although the third brother is amused, he knows more ways to make friends and a thick-skinned city wall.
The Persians are not like this.
The Tomcat that took off in the morning flew a few times in the air and had landed back to the open hangar east of the airport. There is a terminal and a tower over there. Passengers must rely on shuttle buses to enter and exit the airport.
The periphery of the airport was closed with barbed wire, and guards wearing grey-green military uniforms led the dogs around. Eagle Sauce has been trying to destroy the Tomcat in the hands of Persia, including buying the inside line and dismantling the ‘Undead Bird’.
In order to protect the ‘holy thing’ in his hands, the Persian Air Force has also worked hard to prevent any negligence.
Zhou Qingfeng didn't move during the day, but circled the airport a few kilometers away. Waiting until night, he appeared.
After dark, the airport guards stepped up their vigilance. But they didn't have night vision, and they all relied on the patrol team to sweep the flashlight and the dog's nose back and forth.
This simply cannot stop the violent Zhou Qingfeng. He can run several kilometers continuously at a speed of 100 meters, as if a gust of wind has crossed the cordon outside the airport.
The barbed wire a few meters high is covered with barbs, and ordinary people are in awe. He can turn it over with just one hand, just the blink of an eye.
Even if a dog smells his taste, he will be confused by the arcane technique of pacifying animals. One or two guards found something strange, only to see the blurred shadow.
There are several hangars, which are actually an open hangar. Zhou Qingfeng picked a random approach. The lights in the shed were bright, and what struck the eyes was... Scaffolding?
Okay, not a scaffold, but a maintenance ladder.
The huge "Tomcat" stopped inside, and the ground workers in tooling revolved around the body like ants. The Tabriz base can only provide ordinary daily maintenance for fighters. If you want to overhaul, you must transfer the fighter to Isfahan.
The hangar selected by Zhou Qingfeng is a Tomcat that flies during the day, and ten or so Persian grounds are busy. Zhou Qingfeng did not know what they were doing, but released the sleeping technique one by one.
Ling Nu appeared, and he supported the fallen ground crew. They changed their shapes and turned into unshaven Persians, standing on their original positions and pretending to be pretending.
If outsiders pass by, they can also cover up one or two.
Alsie came in with Zhou Qingfeng, and turned into a liquid metal into the Tomcat body, flowing around like mercury, once in the nose and once in the tail.
There is maintenance equipment like a power distribution cabinet next to the fighter. Several skin openings are opened under the belly of the aircraft. A large number of cables extend from the ground and are maintained through the detection interface under the skin.
A large number of maintenance manuals and assembly guides are placed next to the maintenance equipment. Sofia floated out of the void, and the ‘touch of the scholar’ absorbed the information.
"Master, these maintenance manuals are incomplete, and parts related to major repairs are going to Isfahan."
Because of the purchase of fighter planes, the Persians received professional training of Eagle Sauce, including overhaul skills. Isfahan has the Persian Aeronautical Manufacturing Industry Company, where the overhaul and renovation of the Tomcat are carried out.
On the other side, Alsie jumped out of the engine nozzle at the tail and shouted with joy: "Master, this plane can fly. As long as fuel and ammunition are added, you can go to the Persian Gulf in a few hours."
Zhou Qingfeng is here to make trouble, in fact he is very close to success. Standing in front of the Tomcat, he can intuitively feel the deterrent brought about by this heavy fighter.
The flower cultivator engaged in the aircraft carrier didn't start buying the'Varyag' until 99, and dragged the warship home in 2002, rebuilt in 2005, and delivered in 12 years.
Now it is 92 years, and the "Varyag", which has been built to more than 60%, is soaking in the Nikolaev shipyard on the Black Sea. When towing home, the rusty surface of the ship was similar to scrap iron.
The reason why it dragged on for so long, in addition to lack of money and foreign obstacles, there is a very important reason is that there is no carrier-based aircraft in the country-is it not a waste of an aircraft carrier without a carrier-based aircraft?
As for the Alliance’s carrier-based aircraft, let’s not mention it—the combat capability of the Yak-38 ‘mast defender’ is quite limited and its reliability is super poor.
The domestic purchase of Su-27sk will not arrive until August this year, and self-assembly will not start until 98. As for the J-15, it was also built on the Su-33 prototype.
The Su-33 prototype can be obtained, but the "Tomcat" of Eagle Sauce is a mass production machine. This is not to play Gundam, the mass production machine is stronger.
Zhou Qingfeng thought about what would happen if he bought the'Varyag' now? Think carefully, it's fine.
I don’t have any carrier-based aircraft. Can I buy it back to be a private yacht?
The private yacht of more than 60,000 tons, the price is not expensive. It was only 20 million US dollars when it was sold in 1999. It was very powerful to buy it.
Would you like to go to Isfahan and touch the old man of Tomcat? In addition to the "Grumman" company going to Eagle Sauce, only the Persian family has this thing.
Come here, just run.
