Chapter 691 (2/2)
”Although Iran's radar was the product of the United States ten years ago, it was also the most advanced equipment at that time. The radar performance is much stronger than that of ordinary countries, but such radar can not find the target. It can be seen that the stealth performance of aircraft is strong. This is a very important issue and should be taken seriously. ”
As director of the CIA, I certainly know something about the U. S. military. Lockheed began to develop stealth aircraft in the mid-1970s. It made its first flight in 1981 and entered service in 1983. The official code is F-117A attack aircraft.
At the same time, more advanced stealth aircraft are also being developed, but it is found through technical comparison. At present, the stealth performance of F117 attack aircraft can not catch up with the aircraft used in Iraq, which makes the CIA executives puzzled.
The world's first scientific and technological power is backward in the research and development of stealth aircraft. It really shouldn't have happened, but they didn't know how to justify it.
After sorting out the information, William Joseph Casey asked the driver to take him directly to the White House. At this time, President Reagan is waiting for him. It can be said that the Americans are the hardest to sign the armistice agreement.
Reagan didn't give the CIA director a good face. After all, it was a shame this time. I don't know what aircraft Iraq uses; Iran's specific loss is unknown; Why the Soviets acted as peacemakers is unknown.
Is this still the omniscient CIA! I don't know. I'm really sorry for the contribution made by taxpayers.
Reagan: ”director Casey, how's the investigation going. Why did the Iran Iraq war suddenly end and what aircraft were used in Iraq. And how much Iran lost and what role the Soviets played in it. ”
Did the CIA get any information before, and did it make judgment and response plan for emergencies. How do we end now? If so, we can only reduce the funds for CIA activities next year, and we must explain to the taxpayers.
President Reagan asked so many reasons at once, and William Joseph Casey really didn't know how to answer. But things have happened. It's too late to say anything now. We can only face it positively.
William Joseph Casey: ”the end of the war is mainly due to the loss of the Iranian Air Force, especially the F-14 panda fighters purchased from Grumman company. At most, only a few of them can fight. Iraq's economic situation is also unsustainable, which is a hasty end to the war. ”
”As for who provided the aircraft, according to the current intelligence analysis, either the Soviets or the black cloud group. Baozixuan is in Iraq, and all the missiles used are produced by the Soviet Union. The CIA still favors the black cloud group. Baozixuan can't go to Iraq for no reason. ”
”The Iranians took the initiative to contact the Soviet Union. After all, only the United States and the Soviet Union have the ability to mediate war in the world. Now the relationship between the United States and Iran is very tense. Iranians will not take the initiative to come to the door. ”
”Because things are too sudden, the previous analysis of the Iran Iraq war will take at least 3-5 years to produce results. Therefore, there is no emergency plan, which is a dereliction of duty of the CIA. ”
Hearing William Joseph Casey's answer, Reagan knew that he could not be blamed for everything. But whether the black cloud group or the Soviet Union developed a stealth aircraft, it is a huge hidden danger. We must make things clear.
The black cloud group fortunately said that the Soviets had stealth aircraft technology, which was a great threat to the United States. Arms dealers should be ordered to develop more advanced radars in response to stealth aircraft raids.
Reagan: ”investigate the matter as soon as possible. Whoever developed the stealth aircraft is a great challenge to the United States. At the same time, to increase the penetration into Iraq and Iran, we must ensure the influence of the United States in the Middle East. We can give some sweets appropriately, and we can't let the Soviets penetrate into the core region of the Middle East. ”
Stealth aircraft is a technical problem. The United States, as a country with the largest investment in technology R & D in the world. I'm not afraid of anyone competing for technical strength. It's just to allocate more funds for R & D.
However, it is unforgivable for the Soviet Union to infiltrate the Middle East, which is related to a country's overall strategy. Now the Soviet Union is no worse in military than the United States, and its strategic depth is stronger than the United States. After all, where is the land price. The only deficiency is the economy. If the Soviet Union infiltrates into the oil producing countries in the Middle East, the economic problems will be solved. At that time, who can restrict the development of the Soviet Union, the strategic advantage of the United States will no longer exist.
