Chapter 1059 Joint Exercise (Updated)

Opening the window of the passenger plane, Andrei could see four Su-27s flying on the left and right, taking on the responsibility of escort. Now, Su-27 has been serving in large numbers in the Soviet National Air Defense Force. At the same time, this type of aircraft is destined to be only an intermediate model. The stealth fourth-generation aircraft is the real king who can dominate the sky!

"Marshal Andre, we have crossed the border." Guard Captain Valisi said to Andre after coming out of the suite.

Already flown across the border! It can be seen that the four Su-27s have returned, and the four Su-27s have been replaced by four variable-sweep wing fighters painted with red five-stars. The appearance of these fighters is very similar to that of the MiG-23, but there are slight improvements. For example, the cockpit has been slightly raised to give the pilot a better view, and the internal electronic system has probably also been replaced.

"Recently, when China was assembling the J-8 fighter jets, it even stopped wanting the avionics equipment we exported and only imported engines. This shows that China's progress in electronic technology has been quite rapid in the past few years." Commander-in-Chief of the National Air Defense Force Ivan, who was also on the visit, said on the side.

At the beginning, under Andre's promotion, the Soviet Union exported a full set of MiG-23 technology to China, and it was the latest MiG-23K. Afterwards, China named this fighter the J-82, and began to produce it continuously, while improving it as China's main fighter in the new century.

At that time, China only received parts for assembly, and at most produced skins and other things. Avionics equipment, engines, etc. were all imported from the Soviet Union. However, with continuous assembly, China gradually mastered the manufacturing of this aircraft, and the proportion of localization increased. Up to now, China only has imported engines.

"However, I think the export of engines will not last too long." Andre said: "The engines imported by China are probably not installed on new fighters, but are kept as reserves. Their new fighters should use other engines."

Other engines! Others may not know, but Andrei knows clearly that the RD33 engine used by the MiG-23K has its own advantages over the British Spey engine in terms of performance. Compared with the two, the Soviet Union would never export all the RD33 technology to China, but Britain exported the full set of Spey engine technology to China. If it were not for various problems, China would have solved the heart problem long ago!

Historically, China spent 500 million pounds in 1975 to buy complete intellectual property rights, drawings, production processes, and production lines. From 1975 to 1980, it was basically equivalent to the UK teaching you how to make Spey. As a result, just after completing the finalization experiment of domestic blanks, the Spey was abandoned and remained untouched for 20 years. Finally, when needed, they had to buy used engines in the British inventory!

The Spey and RD33 are different in size and thrust-to-weight ratio, but if China can fully master the technology of the MiG-23, it will be able to redesign the rear fuselage and create an enlarged MiG-23!

However, after the introduction of the MiG-23K, it was not handed over to Shenfei, but to Chengdu Aircraft Corporation! Andrei was quite clear about Shenfei's skills. Their progress would probably be very slow. Maybe they would have to continue to import Soviet engines in the future.

In fact, the reason why China was blocked on the engine was of course for the benefit of the Soviet Union. China and the Soviet Union must stand in the same camp! At least, they cannot be accomplices of the Americans!

This time, Andre's trip to China also had several considerations.

Dispel China’s concerns about the Soviet Union and continue to maintain a united front with the Soviet Union!

The special plane continued to fly for another hour and landed at China's Capital International Airport. At the airport, Andre was warmly welcomed by Chinese diplomats. Afterwards, he got on a bulletproof car and went to ******.

"Marshal Andre, we meet again. You and your wife are very welcome to visit China." Lord Deng greeted Andre and his party with a smile.

The two sides held hands tightly together: "Yes, I have wanted to come here for a long time. We, the Soviet Union and China, have too many things in common. We have come together for the same goal. Now, I am here this time, hoping that we can further deepen our relationship."

"So, how does the Marshal plan to deepen our relationship?" asked Mr. Deng.

"I hope that we can hold a joint military exercise this year," said Andre.

Joint military exercises? Upon hearing this, the Chinese present were stunned. Exercises meant that all of China's national defense policies had turned to the Soviet Union! Just like when the Soviet Union wanted to build a joint fleet and a long-wave radio station in China?

Of course not! China's national defense policy has always been independent!

Mr. Deng still had a smile on his face: "How do you plan to conduct military exercises? What is the scale and purpose?"

"Recently, the Moscow subway bombing occurred in our Soviet Union. This is the rise of international terrorism. We can foresee that in the future, large-scale wars are unlikely to break out, but this kind of terrorism will gradually become more serious." Andre said: "So, I think that our two countries have a common border, especially the border between Central Asia and your Xizang and Xinjiang regions. There may be some terrorists flowing around. Our border guards can effectively capture these terrorists by having more contacts and exchanging information. Our military exercise is a joint military exercise of border troops to capture terrorists. What do you think?"

Anti-terrorist exercise! This is different from what everyone thinks! If this is the case, then it is different. It is just a small-scale exercise for both sides to deploy border troops! Moreover, it is beneficial to both sides!

After all, Mr. Deng also knew that there were indeed unstable factors in the areas that Andre mentioned. After causing chaos in China, some terrorists fled to Central Asia along the border, making them difficult to capture!

And now, Andre has provided a perfect solution!

Cooperation between the border forces of both sides will make it easy to capture these terrorists. Combating international terrorism is the responsibility of every country!

"I suggest that we hold this kind of joint exercise once a year. As for the commander, each side can send one person to take turns in the position," Andre continued.

In later generations, China and Russia had such exercises, so Andrei knew that such exercises would be completely acceptable to the Chinese top leaders. No matter what the purpose was, in short, the armies of both sides would exercise together!
