The first update

Marshal Ogarkov was ready to finish everything he had to say in one breath before he gave up, and after roughly summarizing the development of the Army, Marshal Ogarkov turned the topic to the Air Force.

By this time, the car to the Kremlin was already halfway there, and Marshal Ogarkov was halfway through the conversation.

"The next step is the development of the Air Force, which is to merge the Territorial Air Defense Force, the Air Force, and some ballistic missile defense forces in outer space into the Aerospace Forces, which will unify the tasks of territorial air defense, anti-missile defense, and foreign strategic and tactical strikes. Joining forces to form a unified whole will not only enhance operational efficiency, but also enhance the air force's integrated combat capability. ”

Yanayev originally wanted to advise Marshal Ogarkov to take a break and not to work too hard, but the other side was talking about the most critical moment, how could he stop his talking. Ogarkov continued, "The Soviet Union must now eliminate obsolete fighters that are still in service, such as Su-7 bombers and Su-17 bombers, as well as Su-15 interceptors and MiG-23 fighters. Whether it's sold to our allies, aid is given to a war zone in conflict, and it can be mothballed as a last resort. In short, the logistics of the Soviet Air Force should get rid of these burdens as soon as possible. Ensuring a consistently sophisticated and efficient combat team is the primary guarantee. ”

"Then our next step is to upgrade existing fighters, such as MiG-25BM, MiG-29A / B, MiG-31B / M, Su-24M, Su-25T, Su-27P/S, Su-33, Tu-22M3, Tu-95MS, Tu-160, Il-76 series, A-50, An-22/124, fire control system, airborne radar and avionics system are the focus, the vast majority of Air Force fighters are already difficult to meet the needs of modern operations, if not upgraded, their end result is to be eliminated, or shot down by NATO fighters. ”

"The next step is to speed up the production and procurement of new fighters MiG-29K, MiG-35, MiG-31BM, Su-24M2, Su-25SM, Su-27SM2/3, Su-30SM, Su-34 front-line bombers, A-50U AWACS aircraft, and mass procurement of precision ammunition including KAB-250, KAB-500, KAB-1500. The on-board fire control system of the Su-24M2, Su-30SM and Su-34 front-line bombers has been upgraded to ensure that the CEP of unguided munitions can also reach 10 to 20 meters when dropping bombs according to the standard bombing maneuver. Ensure the smooth development of the next generation of fighters, bombers, interceptors, transport aircraft and AWACS aircraft. ”

Ogarkov's air force plan is divided into three steps: elimination, upgrading and development, each step will have an important impact on the future development of the Soviet Air Force, and at this time Yanayev only knows a rough idea, I am afraid that after Marshal Ogarkov's report is presented, it can be detailed enough to scare Yanayev to death.

"Where did you just go? Oh yes, it's the Air Force, and after the Air Force comes the Navy. Ogarkov has carefully studied the trends of land, sea and air, as well as the future of electronics, and has come to the conclusion that the navy must maintain a strategic balance by having a naval force that the United States will not dare to go to war with.

"The Soviet Navy accelerated the construction of the Vine system, which has the ability to monitor the US fleet and guide missiles to strike on a global scale. Accelerate the elimination of old warships and submarines, such as 1135, 956, 1134, 667, etc., and form a new fleet with new warships as the core, including 1154 and 1155 anti-submarine ships, 1144 and 1164 missile cruisers, and aircraft carriers carrying new MiG-29K and Su-33 carrier-based aircraft. In particular, the only Kyiv-class aircraft carrier in the hands of the Navy that has not yet been taken off is also handled properly as soon as possible. Although the combat effectiveness formed by the three aircraft carriers Varyag, Ulyanovsk, and Kuznetsov cannot shake the maritime supremacy of the United States, they can at least ensure that the interests of the Soviet Union in the sea area are not violated in any way. At the same time as forming three aircraft carrier battle groups, one more should be added if the future economic capacity allows, forming four aircraft carriers, to the extent that they are comparable to the Nimitz-class of the United States. ”

Then equipped with the 3S14U1 modular vertical launch system, frigates and coastal frigates with a range of more than 2,700 kilometers of "Caliber" cruise missiles. The 949AM cruise missile nuclear submarine capable of launching 72 "Caliber" or "Jewel" cruise missiles, the 971/945/885 attack nuclear submarine capable of launching "Caliber" cruise missiles, the 06363 conventional submarine capable of launching "Caliber" cruise missiles, the "God of the North Wind" ballistic missile nuclear submarine and a large number of new logistics supply ships. ”

"The core of the fleet's operations is surface ships to cover nuclear submarines and cooperate with the vine system to carry out long-range missile attacks. Enhance the rapid response capability and global projection capability of the naval infantry units, especially the 55th Guards Naval Infantry Division, and build the sharp knife of the Red Navy's foreign operations. ”

After listening to Marshal Ogarkov's plan to give a brief answer, even Yanayev was a little shocked, and just as he was about to say something, the other party waved his hand to interrupt Yanayev's words and continued, "Next is about our missile forces, the Strategic Rocket Forces to upgrade all active ballistic missiles, accelerate the development and equipment of Topol-M and new Yars ballistic missiles. Protect the homeland security of the USSR against a surprise attack by NATO. ”

Marshal Ogarkov was the head of the General Directorate of Strategic Deception before, and even after retiring from that position, he still had access to the intelligence of the Soviet Union's high-end weapons, so he could put forward reformative opinions on the weak links of the current Soviet Union.

"That's all I can say, and there are other, more detailed plans, which I submitted to General Secretary Yanayev." Ogarkov touched the sweat on his forehead and said happily, "It's been a long time since anyone heard me say so much. ”

However, when Marshal Ogarkov finished speaking, Yanayev's brows tightened, this is simply a bottomless pit of armaments, and many places need to be torn down and rebuilt.

"This plan is really a heavy military expenditure that can bring down the Soviet economy." Yanayev smiled bitterly and hinted pointedly, "But if you really want to complete this plan, you can't complete it in less than ten years." This means that from now on, it will not be until at least 2005 to complete all modernization projects. ”

Marshal Ogarkov's smile stiffened on his face, and when he heard the passage of ten years, Marshal Ogarkov shook his head and said, "Then I ask General Secretary Yanayev to fulfill my last wish." Probably, I won't live to be ten years from now. ”

"I'm never going to help you execute it, and you have to do it yourself." Yanayev said half-jokingly, half-seriously, "But now the Soviet defense department cannot do without the existence of your think tank." ”

"What can an old man do in his last years except to receive a pension and wait for death?" Marshal Ogarkov suddenly became a little sad, "My body has deteriorated day by day, and it has been a matter of recent years that I have left. Before leaving, I want to do one thing well, and it is the last thing I do for my country. ”

"Marshal Ogarkov, you ......" Yanayev didn't know how to answer for a while, it was already a miracle that Ogarkov, who was supposed to have died two years ago, had survived until now.

"So General Secretary Yanayev, this is my last request. I want to see a modern Soviet army, a strong Soviet army, a Soviet army that is not afraid of any country. Please promise me to carry out the reform of the armed forces. ”

Marshal Ogarkov's vision was suddenly blurred, and he turned his head to look out the window, where the red walls of the Kremlin appeared in front of him, and against the clear blue sky, it was magnificent.

All this safe and beautiful scenery made him suddenly sigh.

"My motherland is so beautiful."

The mountains and rivers are magnificent, and the prosperous times are peaceful.

This is the wish of every Soviet veteran who experienced the brutal baptism of World War II.

"yes, it's beautiful." Yanayev replied.

"I really hope that in my lifetime, I can see my motherland and reign in the world."
