Follow up and see!He informed his wingman, and the two planes flew towards the airspace where the target had just been spotted.
However, after circling in the air, nothing was found.
They searched at an altitude of 1000 meters. Here, they found no trace of any flying object. In fact, they were whistling over Rust's head, but they could not find the intruder.
Although their fighter planes are equipped with the latest radar, they cannot detect the slow and slow plane flying at an altitude of 15 meters under the complex echo of the ground.
Seeing the two fighter planes whizzing away above his head, Rust was surrounded by a great sense of excitement. He raised his middle finger in the direction where the opponent flew away.
As the scenery outside the window changed, as the sky became darker and darker, Rust knew that Moscow was getting closer.
Moscow has a complete air defense network. If you want to enter through Moscow's air defense network, even though it is an ultra-low altitude, it is still very dangerous.
However, Rust's luck was very good. Just when he was about to enter the Moscow airspace, the automatic control system of the Moscow air defense network failed and was shut down for maintenance.
Finally entered the sky over Moscow!Rust looked at the place under the wing that he had seen on TV, and his heart was full of excitement. At this time, he had been flying for more than five hours.
He reached out and touched the leather bag next to him. Where was his personally signed business card? The first thing he did after getting off the plane was to give his business card to the surrounding people before the Moscow police arrived, letting them know own name!
Thinking of this, he still has a childlike look on his face. In fact, this flight is just a childlike dream of his.
The spiers of Moscow's churches fly the flags of sickles and axes. This huge city is the heart of the Soviet Union. Where is Red Square?
Many people on the streets of Moscow have noticed the plane in the sky. During the day, there has been a plane flying around all the time, taking pictures of the scenery of Moscow, and it is said that it is preparing to shoot a movie.
However, some people who are familiar with it can see that this is not the plane at all.
Where should I land?At this time, Rust's adventure was over. After all, he was just a rookie with more than 40 hours of flying time. It was no problem to land on the runway of the airport. However, landing in such a complicated terrain, It is necessary to test his level.
It would be best if he could land in the Kremlin, but Rust was not flying a helicopter, so there wasn't enough space for him to land, or did he land in front of the Vasily Cathedral?
At this time, the front of the church was full of crowds, and Rust turned on the landing indicator light, waved the flaps on the wings of the plane, and passed over the heads of the crowd.It's a pity that those people don't understand what he means, they can't read the meaning of the signal lights on the plane.
The special situation of this plane was discovered by a patrolling sentry on Red Square, and the sentinel Kosolukov dialed the phone number of Tokarev, the duty major of the Red Square Security Office.
"Report, a suspicious plane has been spotted over Red Square."
"That's an aerial plane, comrade, you just have to be careful not to let the cows break into the Red Square!" After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone.
As a result, any flight actions of this aircraft were ignored by the patrolling sentries.
"Boom!" Qi Jialuo collided with the ground, the fuselage was bounced up again, and then touched the ground again. The rookie pilot's flight movements were still not mastered, and the plane continued to glide forward for dozens of meters. , just stopped.
The plane door opened, and 19-year-old Rust jumped out of the plane, adjusted his glasses, and began to hand out his business cards to the people next to him.
Are you still making movies?The people next to him thought they were making a movie, and they were treated as extras. Since they came, they should cooperate.
Not only Muscovites, but also many foreign tourists who come here to travel, also joined in.
"Where did you fly here?" a person asked curiously.
I saw this very naive young man reply in blunt Russian: "From Helsinki."
Helsinki!At this time, everyone was shocked, how is this possible?Are you still making movies?
At this moment, a large number of agents from the nearby KGB headquarters in Lubyanka Guangyan surrounded the place and took the young man away.At this time, the clock of the Kremlin building just pointed to [-]:[-].
The next day, the entire Western world was shocked.
Rust's young face made headlines on the front pages of all newspapers. This young man created a miracle by flying a light aircraft for more than 800 kilometers in the Soviet Union. On his route, at least 2 A naval base, 4 air bases, and 2 missile bases, and finally broke through the well-defended Moscow defense line and landed on the ground a few hundred meters away from Gorbachev's office. However, it actually happened.
What if this is not a civilian aircraft, but a fighter jet?Or a cruise missile with a nuclear warhead?There is no doubt, then, that Moscow will suffer badly.
No one thought that the Soviet air defense force under layers of protection was actually broken into by a small plane. The Soviet air defense force thought it was a solid wall, but it turned out to be just a layer of window paper.
Rust explained to the KGB agents who captured him that he was here to build a bridge between the two camps, and that the source of peace was not in Washington or Bonn, but in Moscow.If an amateur Western pilot like himself could fly safely to Moscow, US President Ronald Reagan would have no reason to accuse it of being the heart of an evil empire.
Rust's words were full of an attitude of pleasing the Soviets. He thought that this would avoid his punishment, but he never thought that his actions would cause a disturbance in the Soviet Union.
Chapter 977 Hassar had an accident
Gorbachev was not in the country, and when he hurried back from the Warsaw Pact Political Consultative Conference in Berlin, an emergency meeting was called immediately.
In such a huge empire as the Soviet Union, even a light private plane could not be found by the other party, and it was flown to Moscow, its capital, and landed at a distance of several hundred meters from his office. This is absolutely intolerable to Gorbachev Yes, Commander of the Air Defense Force, bear the greatest responsibility!
"We in the USSR have the most powerful air force and air defense force in the world, however, in this incident, the Home Defense Air Force Command showed intolerable insouciance and indecision, they did not detect the aircraft that violated our airspace , and did not take combat measures to stop the flight of invading aircraft. Our most powerful air defense force is ridiculed by the whole world, which our great Soviet Union cannot tolerate. I demand the removal of the Air Defense Commander-in-Chief Korduno comrade husband." Gorbachev said firmly.
Gorbachev's words surprised everyone present. They thought that Gorbachev would get angry, but they didn't expect that he would take such a decisive measure. In a word, would he let the commander of the Air Defense Force step down?
"General Secretary, this time the opponent is flying from a very low altitude, and it is a light aircraft flying in our blind spot. Our radar cannot detect it. This is caused by technical problems. During the war, this situation will never happen, and our AEC will be flying in the sky, and only the AEC will be able to clearly see the light aircraft flying close to the ground." Minister of Defense Sergei heard Gorbachev wanted to dismiss the commander of the Air Defense Force and immediately defended him.
Hearing this, Gorbachev frowned. These guys always think that they are old, so they put on airs to him. Here, who is the leader?
When managing the entire huge empire, Gorbachev always felt that it was not going well, because he was not old enough, so some people always obeyed and contradicted, and his decisions could not be carried out.It seems that it is time to let them know who is the leader here!
At this moment, Sergey went on to say: "General Secretary, after all, you have never served in the military, and you don't know many things about the army. This is not due to the negligence of our personnel, but a technical reason..."
Hearing this, Gorbachev finally became angry. For Sergey, he was not easy to use. Although compared with his predecessor, Sergey has restrained a lot, and he obeyed Gorbachev's arrangements in many things. However, Sergey is still a member of Gromyko after all, relying on Gromyko's relationship, he dared to mock himself this time!
In Gorbachev's view, he was mocking himself. He had never served in the military, so he couldn't point fingers at military affairs. What do you know, and what qualifications do you have to come here to comment.
"I believe that the Ministry of National Defense has seriously neglected the leadership of the troops and lacked due vigilance and discipline for major negligence, which has caused great damage to the dignity of the country and the army. Our powerful Soviet Union absolutely cannot tolerate such things The occurrence of this incident, Minister of Defense Sergey bears unshirkable responsibility for this incident, and I request that Comrade Sergey be dismissed from his post as well." Gorbachev looked calm and glanced at everyone, Whoever still intercedes for the two of them will be dismissed from their posts together.
This is a challenge from Gorbachev, a challenge to those who are still hesitating. Since he has become the general secretary of the Soviet Union, he should be loyal to himself!Those who hide behind should withdraw from the stage of history!
If he had just come to power, Gorbachev would never dare to do this. However, he has endured for two years and has trained a large number of his own people in the military. In particular, he has selected the new Minister of Defense Yazov The general is absolutely obedient to himself.
There is another purpose for getting Sergey out of office, which is to realize the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan as soon as possible. Sergey firmly supports the war in Afghanistan. Didn’t he see that the current crisis of the country is largely due to the Is it because of the huge financial hole created by this war?
Afghanistan is like a gold mine, constantly devouring the small funds of the Soviet Union. Therefore, considering all aspects, Gorbachev has long been considering withdrawing troops. The biggest obstacle to withdrawing troops is the Minister of Defense Xie Ergai, he fought down there with his own hands, and he was able to come up because of the war in Afghanistan. It is absolutely impossible for him to withdraw his troops.
Gorbachev knew that if he wanted to hold this position firmly, he must not be soft-handed. Those who had a sense of superiority over him must be driven out and those who completely obeyed him should come to power!
His eyes swept across the faces of the Politburo members, watching their expressions, and if anyone still had the urge to intercede for them, then that would be his next target.
The next day, the Soviet Union announced a decision to deal with the outside world. The commander-in-chief of the Homeland Defense Air Force, Ya-Korshenov, was dismissed due to dereliction of duty. The Minister of Defense, Marshal Sergei Sokolov, retired due to illness. The Minister is General Yazov.Subsequently, a group of air force generals of the Moscow Defense Air Force District Command were dismissed, and some officers at the general level were also expelled from the party. As many as 250 military personnel were punished because of this incident.
This incident in Rust helped Gorbachev stabilize his power and became an important incident in the Soviet Union.
However, Rust, the person involved, didn’t know it yet. He just naively thought that he came here for friendship, and that he had already achieved his goal, and the whole world knew his name. In a few days, you can go home, right?
After all, when he came here, every word he said began to deliberately please the Soviet Union, claiming that he did this for the sake of the Soviet Union's international reputation, and the implicit meaning was naturally that the Soviet Union absolutely could not put itself how is it.
He didn't know that his thoughts were actually relatively naive.
In this incident, so many important people in the Soviet Union fell down. As the direct trigger, the Soviet Union must definitely deal with it seriously.
A few months later, Rust was convicted by the Soviet court of three crimes of illegally and deliberately violating the Soviet Union's borders, violating international flight rules, and vicious hooliganism, and sentenced him to four years in prison.
