980 No wonder nicknamed Hind, a flying tractor

Mi-24 helicopter gunships from Libya and some warplanes continued to enter the Ozu area, while continuing to destroy the Soviet equipment that had become scrap metal, covering the transport helicopters to transport the spare parts and technicians needed for repairs.

Dimikov didn't know all this, Liao Dong had been sitting in Libya and personally communicating with Libya.

"All right!" On the morning of the fourth day, as soon as the sun rose over the horizon, the rotors of the Mi-24 helicopter, which had been in the desert for months, began to rotate slowly.

"Let the technicians get on the plane! Keno, you and Glaev also go up......" Sergei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the rotors spinning, fortunately, the Soviet weapons and equipment were simple to maintain and easy to use.

"What shall we do?" Captain Cagamema was anxious, the helicopter they were guarding was taken away by the Soviets, the Chadian military may not pursue it, can the French and Americans bypass them?

Sergei shook his head, "You'll have to figure it out for yourselves." The money has been given to you...... Of course, if you don't want people to know, you have to keep these Americans from talking......"

Then, the Mi-24 rotors, which had been in the Ozu area for several months, spun faster and faster, and suddenly rose from the ground and flew north.

The rest of Sergey's squad waited until the helicopter flew away and then hid in the hills.

He hadn't gone far when he heard gunshots behind him, and those Americans obviously couldn't survive.

As for the soldiers of Chad?

These guys can just change their identities and join those rebels, or they can just rejoin the Chadian government army, Africa, these things, it's too easy.

"Let's go, it's over, it's time for us to leave. "The team of the river crab mercenary group, which had been staring at this side from a distance, saw the helicopter flying away, and they also packed up their things and left.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, when the French Air Force stationed in Chad patrolled again, it found that the helicopter on the ground was missing, and thought that it was flying in the wrong direction, circled several times, and found the body on the ground, and then hurriedly reported to the base.

"Bastard, who did this?" the French captain stationed in Odru roared as he looked at the American corpses on the ground.

How can this be explained to the Americans?

"What? The Mi-24 flew away, I don't know where it flew, I don't know who got it! Thomson, what have you been doing all day?" roared when CIA chief John Otto learned the news.

They are ready, and when the Chadian government agrees, two C-5s will be dispatched, and even the list of personnel to be used for the mission has been arranged.

And now he was told that the Mi-24 gunship that the Libyans had left there for months flew away!

Fly away!

I don't know where it flew.

How not to be angry?

"The initial suspicion is that the Soviets did it. Thomson whispered.

John Otto was even more angry, "Didn't you negotiate with them and give them a million dollars? Didn't you give them money?"

"BOSS, they don't do anything when they take money...... I'll investigate as soon as possible, and if that's the case, I'll give the bureau an explanation. Thomson did not dare to continue this, he applied for a million dollars to buy the Soviets, but in fact only gave the Soviets $200,000, and the other 800,000 went into his own pocket.

Intelligence officers, who are willing to risk their lives without outside water?

After Dimikov got Thomson's call, he learned that the Sergei squad had taken the MiG-24 away.

But the Libyan side told him that he didn't see the Mi-24 come back at all......

This made Dimikov suddenly frightened.

Neither the Americans nor the Sergei squad, who he betrayed again and again, will not make him feel better.

As for which disappeared Mi-24?

Heading north from Chad, before reaching the border, they turned around Sudan and landed at a small field airfield in the desert of northwestern Sudan, where an Il-76 was already waiting......

The Mi-24, from the moment it landed, was quickly disassembled by several technicians, not only the roof on the top was removed, but even the propeller hub on which the rotor was installed, and even the landing gear and wheels were all removed.

The weapon pylons on the sides of the fuselage, the tail beams, the rotors, were all disassembled and even disassembled into parts.

The whole dismantling process took several days.

Although the entire Mi-24 fuselage is not too big, it is still too large for the size of the Il-76 cargo deck width of only 3.4 meters and the exit height of only 3.5 meters.

Only by dismantling all the places that can be dismantled and retaining the main body and internal structure of the aircraft can it be reluctantly installed.

Rao is like this, the entire Il-76, after loading a Mi-24 into it, the cargo hold is also stuffed.

A week later, the IL-76 took off from Sudan and headed north, then diverted over the Mediterranean Sea to Syria and then into Iraq, refueling at an Iraqi air base before heading east.

The CIA has been tracking down the helicopter, and similarly, even the KGB is tracking it.

All the evidence points to the fact that the helicopter flew to Libya, and the United States has never dealt with Libya, and Dimikov is also tracking down the whereabouts of the helicopter, and not only Liao Dong is asking him to hand over the helicopter, but even the CIA is also looking for him......

The helicopter, which the C.I.A. and the KGB were tracking, seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

"The Il-76 can't fit this thing?"

On the runway of 404 Airport, the tail cargo door of Il-76 slowly opened, and Xie Kai, Zheng Yucheng and others, who were waiting here, looked forward to it.

It turned out that Xie Kai remembered that the Americans used Chinook helicopters to transport them, and then used C-5s to transport them back to the United States.

At the beginning, Liao Dong said that the Il-76 would be fine, and he thought that it could really be shipped back like this.

But when I saw the stuffed cabin and even the landing gear was removed, the corners of my mouth twitched constantly, and I thought that I could take off by directly installing the rotor and tail rotor.

The Il-76 can't transport this thing, so can the improved Y-10 transport?

It's so worrying.

It took a long time to unload the main body of the fuselage inside, and it was almost impossible to tell that this was a helicopter!

The tandem cockpit design doesn't slim down the thing, but rather gives it a bloated feel.

"Is this really a Mi-24?" Xie Kai didn't expect that after waiting for less than a month, this helicopter appeared in the base.

But where is the majesty of a helicopter that has been disassembled, even the landing gear and wheels have been disassembled?

There is no helicopter appearance at all.

It can't be a cheat, right?

"No, exactly, this is the Mi-25. Kuknoski, who originally followed Sergei's squad at the beginning, told Xie Kai, "This is actually the Mi-24D, but it is an export model." ”

Almost killed, especially knowing that even Sergei and the most elite GRU members were betrayed again and again, Kuknoski knew that he had the same fate.

When Liao Dong approached him and told him that he could help pick up his family and introduce him to a job with a monthly salary of up to $2,000, he agreed without hesitation.

He never expected that the ultimate employer would be Chinese.

This made him much more emotionally acceptable.

Once, he came to China.

"Can this helicopter still work?" Zheng Yucheng said with a frown, staring at the pile of spare parts.

It was different from the helicopter gunship he imagined.

"Assemble it and fly it, and because of the lack of maintenance, a lot of the parts don't last long...... says Kuknowski.

Xie Kai has not seen a Mi-24 gunship.

"Kuknoski, how does this performance compare to the real Mi-24?" Xie Kai paid the most attention to.

"When the self-use model of the Mi-24D has a pull slope greater than 20 degrees, there will be a lack of power, and the rotor will even hit the tail boom...... Again, plateau performance is poor, and the loss of power is very noticeable...... Similarly, the engine turbine has very poor resistance to high temperatures when doing high maneuverability......"

For the shortcomings of the Mi-25, Kuknosky does not hide anything about it.

Anyway, I'm going to work in China from now on.

China treats these technicians from the Soviet Union quite highly.

"A tractor that can fly?" Xie Kai suddenly remembered the comments that the Americans finally made after getting the Mi-24 and spending a lot of effort on it.

They believe that the Mi-24 is a flying tractor.

The fuselage is bloated and can be easily shot down by ground anti-aircraft fire, and even individual missiles or even anti-aircraft machine guns can pose a threat to this thing.

For a long time, in terms of helicopters, China has always cooperated with the French, whose technology is not the most advanced, and it is not unreasonable that the Mi-28 and Ka-52 special armed helicopters recommended by Russia have not been looked down upon.

First cooperated with the French, learned the technology and craftsmanship of the French, and later, developed China's own armed helicopter.

The Soviets were very dissatisfied with Xie Kai's evaluation.

But this is a fact, the shortcomings of the Mi-24 are significant, and since it was put into the battlefield in Afghanistan in 79, it was shot down that year, and even fell several because of its own defects.

"Then we still have this thing?" Zheng Yucheng also looked down on this thing.

Originally, it was going to do a new export project.

But now the Soviets are mass-produced, and the performance is not good, they copy it, and it is difficult to get customers.

A tractor that can fly, even if the bomb load is about to catch up with the attack aircraft, can also drop 500 kg of aerial bombs, which is not a reason for them to imitate.

"Let's study the technology first. Xie Kai was also a little disappointed.

This thing that I worked so hard to get is not a good thing.

"At least, it's much more advanced than what we can produce in China, so we can improve it on this basis. Wang Guilin said.

The Z-6 was not equipped with troops, and the Z-7 dismounted because the body structure was overweight.

The Mi-24, with thick armor, copied out under the conditions of domestic production, may be heavier.
