Chapter 680: Great Power Politics
Welcome! The situation at that time was very strange. On the 27th of January, the fourth round of NATO air strikes against Yugoslavia entered. Around 8 pm, a U.S. Air Force stealth fighter with a number on its tail fin returned after dropping bombs.
It roared over Bujanovic, 60 kilometers west of Belgrade, the capital of Yugoslavia, when something unknown rose from the shooting position on the rolling hills next to the village and accurately hit the stealth fighter. Hit? It was like being hit by a sap, and suddenly the fuselage shook and lost its balance, making it difficult to control.
While the pilot was controlling the plane to fall toward the west, close to the NATO base in Italy, in order to facilitate escape and rescue, the pilot also sent out a distress signal to the U.S. Air Force Special Forces' Megu Electronic Command. When he saw the red warning light flashing frequently and making a piercing sound, after the siren sounds. Then he activated the ejection seat button, abandoned the plane and fled.
The next day, Yugoslav Radio, a small TV station and newspapers reported this explosive news that shocked the U.S. government and opposition parties. News media in various countries also made extensive reports on it. Although this rumor made it infamous, it also made it a household name. However, no matter how much the media hyped up this news, Yugoslavia remained silent about the weapon used to shoot it down.
Some people had speculated before that it was hit by a SAM missile, but the SAM missile has long been outdated. How could it possibly hit the most advanced stealth fighter? The little Americans didn't believe it at first. "Fan Heng rubbed his forehead and said to Fan Wubing: But in fact, that thing was indeed hit by a SAM missile."
How could Fan Wu not believe this? Welcome! ! !
This is the first time the United States has lost a stealth fighter and it is the first time the Yugoslavia has shot down a stealth fighter. The construction cost of the frame is US$120 million. The shooting down of the photo frame by the Yugoslav air defense force not only means that the United States has lost an "ace" fighter plane, but more importantly, the unit is the most famous fighter force in the United States. The shooting down of this type of aircraft means that the value of the U.S. ace air force has been severely reduced. The high-tech myth of the U.S. military is not It's as good as it sounds. So this is the biggest blow to America.
The most important thing is that this incident has a great impact on Guan's reputation in the arms market. Since stealth fighter jets can be shot down by old-fashioned missiles, why do wealthy Arabs spend a lot of money to buy such flashy things? Fan Heng He explained to his son that the Americans had lost tens of billions of dollars in orders. "
After these three remarks, but now that they can't figure out the truth of this matter, the Americans dare not take the risk of letting stealth fighters come out to perform missions again. Fan Heng said to Fan Wubing.
What happened Jin Yue ago? Why are you so worried now? Fan Wubing asked curiously. Logically speaking, he shouldn't tell you this matter. It's a top secret.
Fan Heng shook his head and said, "But now that the Americans have noticed it, it doesn't matter much if I tell you about it." "
It turns out that although the Americans thought that it was impossible for the Yugoslav Alliance to hit the stealth fighter with the old-fashioned SAM missile, they couldn't believe it when the facts were right in front of them. Then they began to use their superior forces to go to the scene of the plane crash and retrieve some parts. The grip piece of the crashed aircraft.
After analysis and research, it was found that it was indeed a reciprocal missile shot down by the SAM missile, but it did not go past the mutually convex missile, but a new SAM missile equipped with a laser anti-stealth system. The specific model is unknown.
At present, the US military's stealth aircraft can be invisible to radar small infrared detectors but cannot achieve the stealth effect to visible light and lasers. Therefore, the US military's stealth aircraft all use night raids to attack enemy targets. "Fan Xiang explained to Fan Wubing, but the U.S. Air Force never expected that in the valleys within the Yugoslavia-Bosnia-Herzegovina border, infrared laser eyes would flash at every turn. These eyes were evenly distributed in the air defense areas and directed towards thousands of people. When the aircraft passes through the laser cabinet and the laser signal is intercepted, the ground receiving system can immediately determine the altitude, direction and other parameters of the aircraft and use the laser. Beam tracking aircraft. The modified SAM missile equipped with an infrared laser seeker is launched into the air and flies towards the aircraft according to the infrared laser spots reflected from the aircraft and destroys it. "
Fan Xin used to be a veteran military engineer, so naturally he was familiar with this matter and explained it very clearly. Fan Wubing understood it immediately, but the first thing that came to his mind after he understood it was that the Americans must have been offended.
A stealth fighter is worth 120 million U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to nearly one billion people. How much is the loss? Will it be shot down? The second wave is still open at this time, but the Americans will definitely not let it become invisible until they find a solution. The fighter jets are out on mission again.
For the United States, the original strategic deployment will definitely be greatly adjusted because of this incident, not to mention the chaos. It will also cause a considerable blow to the confidence of the military and the losses will be quite heavy.
Americans have already protested strongly. He also announced that he would take revenge, so everyone was very nervous. "Fan Heng said to his son.
Brother Fan was speechless for a while. He searched the Internet and saw that there were many pictures and text reports on the Internet about the Yugoslavia shooting down a US stealth fighter. There were also vague interviews with the Yugoslav military. They admitted that it was using Sagittarius. A missile shot down a stealth fighter but kept the mystery secret.
And the most irritating thing is that the person in charge took the wreckage of a stealth fighter there to take pictures. The text next to the picture actually said that we didn't know he was invisible. Isn't this nonsense? After seeing this, Fan Wanhuo suddenly became displeased and said: "I'll make it clear before telling people there's something fishy in this, otherwise I'll just make it up." Can't we just cover up the reason? If you don't say too many aircraft like stealth fighters, you only need to shoot down four or five. Americans will definitely feel distressed. Now it seems that I have relieved my anger, but the sequelae are coming.
Posterior gangrene is something that happens to us all, and it will be very troublesome if it is not handled well. "Fan Heng nodded.
Although the military is most anxious at this time, Fan Heng, as a member of the Standing Committee, is definitely involved. At this time, the Politburo has held several emergency meetings to discuss various possible situations and transfer the domestic strategic reserves to Once operational, strategic missile forces in various places also began to make feints, fearing what the Americans might do.
Brother Fan thought about it for a while and then said. The Americans will definitely not be able to deal with such things as fighting with China. The risk of doing so is too great. Two nuclear powers are talking nonsense to each other. It’s not just the Chinese and Americans who are worried. People all over the world are worried.
But it is common sense that the three Americans will never hold back their anger. Fan Heng said.
Brother Fan nodded in agreement and said, "So now the best target for Guyana people to vent their anger is the Chinese Embassy in the Yugoslav Federation. This is the target they will take action to retaliate against." "
How can you be so sure?" Fan Heng was a little curious that Fan Wuxiang could make such a conclusion with such certainty.
Although Fan Heng trusted many of his son's opinions, the level of military affairs involved was so high that he could not believe his son's unilateral inferences. After all, military experts had never mentioned this private matter. Problem. Welcome! ! !
Of course Brother Fan cannot say that in fact this is what the Americans did, so our country has produced a martyr, and this has led to nationwide anti-American activities, which has directly put the Sino-Jade relationship at considerable risk. He can only Fan Ping explained that what matters in the politics of great powers is a question of strength and degree. Americans have no shortage of politicians, military strategists, and conspirators mixed together. You can definitely come up with a damaging move.
Go on, I'm listening. "Fan Heng nodded.
Guan Guo's ace fighter plane was shot down and even the army didn't know the reason. This was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the Americans and they would not let it go. Now that they have guessed the source of the weapons, there must be a conflict between China and the United States, which the proud Americans are unwilling to let go. "Fan Wubing reasoned: Direct conflict is unwise, so the Americans will also choose to declare war indirectly, by attacking Chinese embassies abroad to achieve the purpose of attacking Chinese territory in a curve. Therefore, the embassy in Yugoslavia It is the best target for the other party to leak. In addition, there is another more important reason. Once there is an attack on the embassy, they can completely push it away. For example, it sounds like it was accidentally bombed or the satellite positioning was wrong. That’s understandable.”
Fan Tao listened to his son discussing his opinions with him for a long time. I do think this is more likely to be private. As the target of retaliation, the embassy within the combat zone is indeed a better target for a slap in the face.
The possibility Fan Fu mentioned to himself is not non-existent. Welcome! ! !
