"It's been prepared, the total is 208 million US dollars." Tasha said lightly, but she was a little uneasy in her heart. She also forgot about it, but she didn't expect those guys from Mikoyan You will be so ruthless. I asked you to renovate a fighter jet that has been out of production for almost 40 years, and it will be like that for only 1.8 million U.S. dollars. But you actually spent 200 million U.S. dollars on it with such ferocious operation. Many dollars.
"Tasha, this joke is not funny." Wang Yue said a little unhappy. He felt Tasha's anxiety, but this did not mean that he had to accept the debt. How much does a new plane cost? , he dared to ask for more than 200 million US dollars from himself after just preparing himself. This really meant that he was being taken advantage of. Could it be that he was too talkative in the eyes of those Mikoyan guys?
"Victor, believe me, this price is definitely worth the money. Mikoyan has completely upgraded the MiG-25 this time, replacing it with two brand-new engines and an overall titanium alloy skin. , a brand-new supercomputer flight control computer, integrated weapons system, detachable information cockpit, life support system, and even a certain stealth capability, its combat power is infinitely close to that of the Su-57 fighter jet, and even surpasses it." Tasha They introduced in detail that the Mikoyan guys also took great pains to not only bring out the ultimate upgrade plan formulated for the MiG-25, but also brought out many new technologies developed during the bidding with the Su-57. The advent of this super MiG-25.
"Tasha, he is a MiG-25." Wang Yue had a headache, but he also understood that those Mikoyan guys really "worked hard."
"Victor, as far as height is concerned, the original E-266m (MiG-25m) aircraft was modified with a P-31Ф turbojet engine with greater thrust, and the body structure was also strengthened. Test pilot Fedotov said On August 31, 1977, the E-266m test aircraft set an absolute flight altitude record of meters, but your Super MiG-25 can theoretically fly 50,000 meters." Tasha said with a smile, of course, this is just a design The height has really not been tested so far. After all, there are many problems involved in trying to fly, and it is not something that can be solved by just doing it.
"Fifty thousand meters? Fighter?" Wang Yue was also a little confused. Is it necessary to be so cruel? At an altitude of 50,000 meters, with suitable missiles, it can be used to hit low-orbit satellites, okay? There are many aircraft that can fly 50,000 meters, but a mass-produced fighter jet needs to have a certain combat effectiveness to fly 50,000 meters. Is that something humans do?
"Yes, but it requires the use of special formula fuel and a two-stage booster rocket. The life support system is also specially prepared for high-altitude flight. The high-altitude flight speed can also exceed Mach 5. Double Five, Victor, if it was still during the Cold War If so, this aircraft can shock the whole world." Tasha continued to confuse her. She was still a little guilty at first, but as she continued speaking, she became more confident. Speaking of which, this Super MiG-25 is really powerful. Is it good to be powerful? You must know that those guys from Mikoyan are targeting the Bald Eagle's X-15. The speed of the
"Where is the weapon system?" Wang Yue continued to ask, already feeling a lot better. The height of 50,000 meters alone is worth taking action. Raising the height by 20 kilometers can save almost five tons of fuel. These are enough for the "Elephant V" to operate in space for at least ten more years. For space weapons, the significance of operating for another ten years is self-evident.
"Mikoyan has equipped the Super MiG-25 with all Mikoyan's space-based weapons, as well as the lasers on the E-266m test aircraft, which can hit low-orbit satellites." Tasha continued to introduce, Mikoyan's guys are even equipped with space-based weapons The secret weapons were all taken out and sold. Of course, that thing was only a secret weapon in the Alliance era. Now, even the blueprints are probably in NASA's database, but even so, it is the only one in the world that can The laser weapons used in actual combat are still space-based.
"Small laser weapons?" Wang Yue was a little confused. There are many large laser weapons now, but most of them are fixed on the ground. There are also some on warships. Legend has it that there are also air-based ones. But what kind of aircraft is that? It is a large aircraft with a reactor. As for the laser weapon, there is no one less than ten tons, right?
How much payload can the MiG-25 fighter jet carry? How powerful can that thing be if it can carry multiple laser weapons?
"The energy consumption of laser weapons is high, mainly due to the loss of the atmosphere. At an altitude of more than 30,000 meters, the energy loss is very low. Although it cannot affect ground targets, it is still no problem to attack low-orbit satellites with an orbit of 500-700 kilometers. Two Each laser can be fired twice. If you are lucky, you can shoot down four satellites in one takeoff." Tasha faced Wang Yue's puzzled eyes and said with some pride, but she also knew that it was only theoretical. Using laser weapons When it comes to satellites, the most important thing is fire control. Although Mikoyan has changed the algorithm and improved the computing power of the fire control computer, after all, there is no actual combat, and he has not even done experiments.
"What on earth is Mikoyan going to do?" Wang Yue suddenly felt that 200 million US dollars was not that expensive. Just let Tasha operate this small laser weapon, and selling it to a lolicon would be a lot of money. Mikoyan Do you really want to fool yourself by building such a plane with great effort? Two hundred million US dollars is indeed a lot, but in fact it is not indispensable to the current Mikoyan. After all, he has placed an order for a thousand transport aircraft for Mikoyan.
"Victor, Mikoyan cannot always rely on MiG-2 transport aircraft and Lager-3 fighter jets. They need a new, competitive product." Tasha hesitated, but still proposed Mikoyan The idea over there, of course, Mikoyan's idea was proposed to Tasha. After all, in their opinion, this aircraft was also modified for Tasha.
"They want to change the current development direction of fighter jets. They don't strive for stealth, stand-off operations, or data links. They just compete with you for high altitude and high speed. What's the point of being more advanced? You can't fly high without me. I fly fast, and all advanced technologies are just floating clouds." Wang Yue sighed to himself, you have to admit that Mikoyang is still capable. He can use his strengths and avoid weaknesses and give full play to his strengths. If he is really defeated If they succeed, they can really force the Bald Eagle to continue engaging in an arms race with them. Not to mention that the arms race will destroy the alliance. If they really want to continue the arms race in 2023, the Bald Eagle may not be able to resist. Come down, after all, the world is no longer the same. If the alliance hadn't collapsed inexplicably back then, Bald Eagle's economy would not have been much better. Don't think too much about Bald Eagle's economy at that time. Everyone was thinking about it. The gambler who hits the last coin on the gaming table only has a little bit of luck.
"Mikoyan needs a perfect actual combat display. They hope that I can send my best team of super ace pilots to attack these targets." As she spoke, Tasha handed a small note to Wang Yue. It is a four-group digital code. If you are an ordinary person, you will definitely not be able to understand what it is.
"Is this orbital data?" Wang Yue glanced and understood. It should be the orbital data of four low-orbit reconnaissance satellites. From the coding point of view, these should be four low-orbit satellites that can cross-monitor Ermao's land for a long time. Satellites, then it is self-evident who these satellites belong to.
"As long as one satellite is destroyed, the modification will be free. If all four satellites are destroyed, Mikoyan is willing to help you convert the other three MiG-25s in your hand into super MiG-25s. Counting all together, A satellite costs 200 million US dollars." Tasha smiled hopefully. She didn't have any super pilot team, and the only one she wanted to count on was Wang Yue.
Eight hundred million U.S. dollars, this price is definitely not low, I believe it is enough for Wang Yue to make a move, but Mikoyang's seemingly sky-high remuneration is just that in her opinion, valuable titanium alloy skin, engine and so on Everything is in stock. As for the fire control computers and the like, they are not specially developed. They are all saved from stock and readily available. It is indeed more than 200 million US dollars to modify an aircraft, but Mikoyan's actual expenditure is not that much. Over $10 million.
"Why not the MiG-35?" Wang Yue was a little confused. The most advanced fighter jets in Mikoyan's hands should not be the MiG-29m\/m2 and MiG-29K\/Kub developed by the Mikoyan Design Bureau in the early 21st century. Development of MiG-35 fighter jets based on technology? After all, that’s barely a fourth-and-a-half-generation fighter, right?
"Don't be kidding, the MiG-35 has no room for further development. Even if it is improved, it will be like that. Relatively speaking, the ones with the greatest room for improvement are the MiG-25 and MiG-23." Tasha She smiled helplessly. She also sold MiG-35, but what was that thing? In addition to its advanced electronic equipment, its performance is not as good as the old MiG-29 fighter jet.
"I also want a complete set of hand-drawn drawings and manufacturing manuals for the MiG-2." Wang Yue smiled and put forward his own conditions. Tasha gave him all these things, both electronic and printed, but she didn't care. Whether it is an electronic version or a printed version, you cannot bring it with you, and having people draw it by hand requires a wealth of experience and professional knowledge, and it also requires proofreading by professionals. This is a job that ordinary people cannot do.
"No problem, I can agree for Mikoyan." Tasha thought that Wang Yue would make various requests, but she never expected that this guy would ask for hand-drawn drawings. Mikoyan's design was in his 50s and 60s. There are a lot of draftsmen, and it is easy to organize and draw several tons of drawings.
"Okay, Boss Tasha, I will take action as soon as you get the plane here. As the number one ace pilot in your hands, it is my duty to do so." Wang Yue said without forgetting to pinch Tasha. face.
