Shoigu's side worked very efficiently. The day after Wang Ye made the call, he had completed all the procedures and sent Wang Ye a sales list.
Looking over the list, Wang Ye found an unexpected "surprise"!
Besides the complete aviation combat brigade they had discussed over the phone, it actually included an air defense battalion!
Clearly, Shoigu had thought things through more carefully. He was worried that fighters alone might not be enough to defeat Blackwater, or that even if they won, they would suffer heavy losses in the process.
So he simply added an air defense battalion as well!
It included one battalion with four launch units, sixteen launch systems, and ninety-eight 48N6E missiles!
In other words, the famous S-300 air defense missile system...
If they hauled this thing to Africa and deployed it there, forget Blackwater Company's few dozen relatively outdated fighters—even most regular armies would not dare test the power of the S-300!
With an aviation combat brigade working alongside a ground air defense battalion, their own fighters could fly around openly while the enemy's fighters would not even dare show themselves!
How was Blackwater supposed to play this game...
Besides the S-300s, the real centerpiece was naturally the fifty fighter jets.
Although Shoigu had said over the phone that the aircraft models were relatively old, he had actually been "modest."
The sales list prominently included Su-27s!
And there were as many as twenty of them!
These were a mainstay fighter model in the Russian Air Force. The other thirty were no slouches either: MiG-29s.
It was obvious that Shoigu had been truly generous this time!
Still, this was probably not something Shoigu alone could decide. He must have sought approval from the Kremlin, and only after his godfather gave the word did such a sales list
