Chapter 75 Interception Again

So, now Kozhidub had to brave the afternoon sun and wait for Andrei to come down. Although he was unhappy about this, he did not show any sign of it on his face.

"Captain Andre." After waiting for more than half an hour, Andre finally came down, with a smile on Kozhidub's face.

"Commander, you're still here?" Andre pretended to be surprised and said, "Do you want to take off and fight as well?"

Andrei knew that Kozhedub was a fighter pilot in the past, but unfortunately, looking at Kozhedub's bulging belly now, it was clear that he would never be able to fly again.

"No, it's nothing." Kozhidub said, "It's just about cleaning up our warehouse. As the regiment commander, you are responsible for combat matters. This kind of logistical matter should be handled by me, the base commander."

Although Andrei is the deputy commander, now everyone in the base knows that as a Soviet hero, he has a bright future and will definitely not be just the deputy commander of such an aviation regiment in the future, so the word "deputy" is automatically ignored.

Of course Andrei knew that Kozhedub came for his nephew. Unfortunately, Kozhedub didn't know that his other purpose was to use Akim, who abused his power for personal gain, to drag Kozhedub into the water as well. This guy must be no good and only knew how to rely on connections to climb up.

Kozhidub said it very kindly, operations are under the jurisdiction of the aviation regiment, while logistics are under the jurisdiction of the base commander.

"Sure." Andrei said to Kozhedub, "Commander, I'm relieved to have you with me. The equipment in our logistics warehouse has not been counted for a long time. We must do a thorough count."

Hearing Andrei's words, Kozhidub relaxed at first, thinking that he could do the counting himself, which would be easy. But then he came to his senses and realized that something was wrong. Did Andrei just say that they should be dealt with together? Then who else?

"Captain Andre, who else can help me deal with this?" asked Kozhedub.

"Oh, I'm afraid we can't count them all, so I've called the KGB branch in Vladivostok to come over for help. They should be on their way now," said Andrei.

When he decided to expose the corruption here, Andrei acted quickly. He used the hangar guard's phone to make an outside call and notified the KGB agency in Vladivostok.

Others may not know, but the KGB in Vladivostok certainly knows that Ekaterina is Andropov's daughter, and they also know about the relationship between himself and Ekaterina. The relationship was confirmed when he returned to Moscow last time, so, they will definitely help him with this favor.

Sure enough, after receiving Andre's request for help, the other party agreed almost without hesitation and sent out a capable team, which is already on the way.

The KGB branch in Vladivostok! Kozhedub felt his eyes blurry and his body was almost shaking uncontrollably.

"Alert, alert!" At this moment, the signalman shouted loudly: "The American reconnaissance plane is coming again!"

Here they come again! Looking at the sky, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Did the Americans get excited? Coming to investigate twice in one day? Andre quickly ran to the pilot duty room and began to put on his anti-G suit.

Now that you are here, why not let him have a taste of how powerful I am!

The aircraft gun pod had just been installed and had not yet been tested in the air, but now, there was no time to worry about that! A few minutes later, Andre stepped into the cockpit and made preparations for the attack.

"Sokolovka, 032 requests to take off and intercept again!" Andrei's mood has calmed down. Looking at the sunset outside, the shadows of people on the ground are very long, and Kozhedub's body looks so lonely and lonely.

"You can take off." A voice came from the headset. Andre turned on the afterburner, slid quickly on the runway, and took off.

"Owl, Owl, requesting tail pursuit and interception guidance route." After taking off, Andre's guidance was taken over by the Air Defense Force's ground CGI guidance system. Andre said to the ground CGI guide on the radio.

The route of tailgating interception is completely different from that of head-on interception, and Andre must explain it after takeoff.

"Owl received, 032, please turn to heading 126, altitude 23,000, speed 0.8."

"Received." Andre shouted on the radio and began to adjust his course, chasing and intercepting, just like setting an ambush in the air. Now that the opponent was flying towards him, he did not need to go too fast.

Hundreds of kilometers away in the sky, a huge black bird is flying towards us.

"It's only been seven hours, and our superiors have asked us to conduct reconnaissance again. We must have discovered something." said the investigator in the back seat of the sci-fi Blackbird fighter.

"Yes, the news from above said that the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Manufacturing Plant was discovered, and a fighter plane that we have never seen before appeared. The superiors attached great importance to it, so they studied a photo for a long time and decided to let us conduct another reconnaissance. Maybe we can take a panoramic view. Our route this time is mainly to Komsomolsk-on-Amur." said Olmsted in front.

As front-line executors, they did not know some inside information. When the CIA personnel in the rear analyzed the photos, they were stunned by one of the fighter planes.

Soviet fighter planes have always been big and strong, but this fighter plane is simply too beautiful! The slender and twisted fuselage, the structure of twin engines and twin vertical tails, especially the cone at the tail, what kind of plane is this? It must be a new generation of fighter! The Soviet MiG-25 is already very difficult to deal with, and this new plane must be even more difficult to deal with!

The Americans did gain a lot from this daytime reconnaissance, because they accidentally photographed the wooden model of the T-10 that the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Manufacturing Plant had just received!

The development process of T-10 has entered a critical period. The prototype is about to be manufactured and tested. At the same time, in order to carry out subsequent rapid production, the aircraft manufacturing plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur needs to transform its equipment and technology to meet the requirements for producing new fighter jets. The last time Simonov came to Komsomolsk-on-Amur was for this matter.

This wooden prototype was originally manufactured to provide a reference for the workers at the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, so that they would know what kind of fighter they were about to produce.

Although it was later discovered that the performance of this fighter could not completely overwhelm the F-15, and Simonov had to start over, but now, the Sukhoi Design Bureau still believes that this advanced fighter will be put into production soon.

The Americans' lucky discovery made them very much look forward to the results of the second investigation.
