Chapter 1062 No Body Found
What Andre brought out was the Sukhoi Design Bureau's Su-44 project! This fighter also uses a canard layout and looks even more sci-fi!
The Soviet government will not invest. All the money is used in the MiG 1.44 project. This fighter will be treated as an export aircraft and let the Sukhoi Design Bureau develop it on its own! At the same time, attract some foreign investment, such as Iraq, Iran and other countries, and even some investment from Europe to see if the French are interested. In short, this project is for political purposes!
It doesn’t matter if the final development progress is delayed or the funding exceeds the budget. In short, through a project, the cohesion of the Soviet Union can be demonstrated!
This is Andrei's purpose! Those who cannot join the Soviet directly must also stay closely with the Soviet.

"We will launch three versions of this fighter: a land-based type, a carrier-based type, and a vertical take-off and landing type. We will reduce research and development costs by making extensive use of common components. At the same time, we will have one aircraft with multiple types to meet our needs." Andrei had already handed the model drawings of this fighter to the people present. Everyone who saw it was impressed by its appearance. The Soviet technology was truly amazing!
"Marshal Andre, hasn't your side already phased out the vertical take-off and landing Yak-36? Moreover, the Falklands War also showed that the vertical take-off and landing Sea Harrier fighter is not suitable for combat." At this time, a senior air force general asked.
This project is divided into three models. The land-based and ship-based types are understandable, but why do we need a vertical take-off and landing type?

"Yes, the vertical take-off and landing models of the previous fighters are useless. This is because the engine thrust of the previous fighters was insufficient." Andre explained with a smile: "For example, when our Yak-36 and Sea Harrier were developed, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the engine was about 5, and the thrust-to-weight ratio of the whole machine could barely reach 1 when unloaded. In this way, vertical take-off and landing would be much more difficult. But now, with the continuous advancement of technology, the thrust-to-weight ratio of our RD33 engine is close to 8, and the thrust-to-weight ratio of the new engine under development will reach 10, and in the future, it will be higher, reaching 11, 12, or even 15. In this way, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the whole machine can reach about 2. In this case, it is not difficult for our fighters to take off and land vertically with their powerful engines."
Technology is constantly improving! Although the vertical take-off and landing F-35 is largely useless in the future, Andre believes that with the further improvement of technology, this method will always be realized.
After all, dependence on airport runways is the biggest shortcoming of current fighter jets. Vertical fighter jets that do not require runways and can be deployed in a dispersed manner will still be useful in future wars, no matter how technically difficult such aircraft may be.

Anyway, now we are trying to attract countries to invest together. What's wrong with using other people's money to develop our own technology?
"Marshal Andre, we need to further study the project you proposed." The commander of the Chinese Air Force present at the scene gave Andre a reply. Of course, it was impossible for him to agree in person, but Andre believed that the Chinese side would not refuse.
After all, up to now, China has not completed the process of completely independent development of any fighter jet, and it is even more impossible for China to develop its own stealth aircraft.

Finland.
Finland is located near the Arctic and is very cold even in summer. However, the people here have adapted to the cold weather.

At this time, several salvage ships were working in a lake. Divers dived underwater and hung hooks on the crashed fuselage of the plane below. Then, two salvage ships worked at the same time and lifted out the front and back of the plane's fuselage at the same time!
The wet Tu-16 bomber emerged from Hubori, sparkling in the sun.
"No body was found!" A person in charge of the salvage operation listened to the voices of his subordinates.

It can be seen that there are traces of ejection seats in each crew compartment of the bomber!
The Tu-16 bomber ejects downwards, which in many cases cannot guarantee the safety of the crew. However, this time it crashed into the lake, so the ejection before falling into the lake could still give the crew a chance to survive!
"Block all the surrounding roads immediately!" Involved in the salvage operation were not only Finnish local forces, but the KGB also sent a team to assist them in the salvage operation.

Now, discovering that there was no one inside, the KGB personnel immediately realized that the situation was not good. It took them two days to salvage the plane, and two days was enough time for the crew on the plane to leave Finland!
Of course, it is also possible that they were drowned or frozen to death after coming out, but other possibilities must also be considered, especially the worst case scenario!
Grozny.
This city, located on the Songza River, a tributary of the Terek River, is the capital of the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic of the Soviet Federation. It covers an area of 305 square kilometers and has four administrative districts. It currently has a population of 230,000, 95% of whom are Chechens.

The entire Caucasus region has always been a place of conflict. It is home to many ethnic groups with complex historical relations. Now, the Chechens are well fed and full of energy under Soviet rule, but they just don't know how to vent. Their generation of young people has not experienced the baptism of World War II and certainly will not have much identification with the Soviet government.
Moreover, due to the tough folk customs, many Chechens have been exposed to weapons since childhood. Children as young as six or seven years old can disassemble pistols!
"Creaky!" An unmarked car stopped in front of the Grozny City Government. Several soldiers armed with live ammunition jumped out of the car and entered the city government.
A few minutes later, they brought out a man, Ibragimov, the deputy mayor of Grozny. According to the KGB investigation, he and Dudayev had close ties, and he also secretly helped some terrorists enter the country!

This was a very ordinary arrest, or perhaps Ibragimov was just being taken away for investigation. The KGB did not mobilize Unit A, but only requested assistance from the local garrison.
However, the moment Ibragimov was brought into the car, the situation changed!
On the distant building, an SVD sniper rifle had already accurately locked onto the escorting soldier with its scope! Then, the sniper pulled the trigger easily!
