In 1959, Francknecht, an engineer at the Swiss Suzer Aircraft Manufacturing Company, hired a 16-year-old girl whose expenses soared and he was stretched. Israeli Mossad agents generously donated $200,000 and had a beautiful young woman send it, and the engineer soon fell.
Of course, such rich money and beauty, not in vain, there is a prerequisite.
In the 1860s, Israel was the first to purchase Mirage fighter jets from France. Later, they improved the fighters themselves.
On June 5, 1967, the "Six-Day War" broke out. In this war, Israel destroyed more than 400 warplanes from Arab countries such as Syria, Jordan, egypt and other Arab countries at a small cost of 46 fighters, and fought a beautiful victory. It has dealt a huge blow to the Arab countries!
Since then, Arab countries have pressed France not to sell military equipment to Israel. Under pressure, France stopped supplying Israel with any military equipment, even spare parts.
In 1968, France declared an arms embargo on Israel. The order for 50 Mirage 5 fighters that had already been signed was immediately cancelled.
This time it hurt Israel badly.
Because, most of Israel's fighter jets are purchased from the United States and France. The Israeli Air Force system, including pilot training programs and ground handling equipment, revolves around the Mirage.
The 150 surviving Mirage fighters in the country are already scarred in battle and are in urgent need of repair.
The Israelites have always encountered problems, solved problems, and were not discouraged in the face of difficulties.
They decided to produce their own aircraft parts, and then simply produced their own fighters.
However, problems soon followed.
Although they are familiar with the Mirage fighter, it is still very difficult to actually manufacture it.
So the leader of the Israeli Air Force had a breakthrough thinking and got the direct drawing of the Mirage 5 fighter.
The task was handed over to the Mossad agents without any doubt.
However, the agents soon discovered a tricky problem. The Mirage 5 fighter has 200,000 design drawings and weighs more than 2 tons, even if you can get it, how can it be shipped back from France?
I don't know if God is secretly helping? There is a country that has inadvertently done Israel a big favor.
The country was Switzerland, and they signed an agreement with France to assemble 100 French Mirage fighters themselves.
After 53 were installed in Switzerland, they didn't want to install them anymore. The spare parts of the remaining 47 fighters were all thrown into the warehouse.
In 1968, Switzerland and the French company Dassault jointly developed a development of the Mirage 5, so that Switzerland obtained a complete set of Blueprints for the Mirage 5 fighter.
The R&D mission was undertaken by the Swiss aircraft manufacturing company Suzel.
Upon learning the news, Israel immediately contacted Switzerland with the intention of purchasing parts for the 47 Mirage fighters they had left in the warehouse.
However, it was rejected by Switzerland.
Formal channels do not work, so we have to curve to save the country: plotting against a Swiss engineer and making drawings.
At an exchange meeting, a Mossad agent successfully met Franknecht, an engineer at the Swiss-Suzer Aircraft Manufacturing Company.
Before getting to know him, the agent had already figured out the engineer's past and present lives.
The engineer was a Swiss who was sympathetic to the Jews. In his private life, he raised a 16-year-old girl. As a result, the expenses became larger and larger, resulting in the existing income being unable to support his expenses.
Finding the engineer's weakness, the agent went with a beautiful young woman to send him $200,000. He also said that after the fact, there was a bounty, and arranged for Franknecht to live abroad. The charm of money is really hard to resist, and the engineer immediately offers to help. Of course, that night, the young woman stayed at the engineer's house.
Next, it's how to get the 2-ton fighter drawings out, which is really nerve-wracking.
Soon, the engineers came up with a solution. He suggested to Suzel Aircraft Manufacturing Company that all the aircraft drawings should be photographed and preserved in film, which would save both security costs and storage costs.
The company leaders listened, immediately praised, good idea! Subsequently, it was approved by the Swiss Government.
However, drawing photography work definitely belongs to the first level of confidentiality.
The Swiss government strictly examined the shooting staff, limited the model of the camera, the shooting site, sent a large number of agents to supervise, and the photographed drawings were immediately put into special cartons and sealed.
It is then sent to the incineration site every Thursday for destruction, and it takes only 15 minutes from the warehouse to the incineration site.
With such a meticulous deployment, engineers still found the opportunity in just 15 minutes.
Frankenercht himself escorted the car, and the driver brought in his brother.
On the way, they had to pass through a small forest, and through the shade of the trees, Frankenercht and his brother adjusted the blueprints, and then slammed the throttle to reach the incineration site, which took exactly 15 minutes.
The drawings of the package were purchased by Frankenecht at a low price from the patent office. Invalidated aircraft drawings that exceed 50 years of confidentiality.
Although the drawings are strictly inspected before they reach the incineration site for destruction, the staff responsible for incineration are not professional and cannot identify the true and false.
In this way, the engineer got all the drawings out.
Subsequently, Mossad agents were transporting their drawings to Israel, germany and Italy.
From October 5, 1968, it was shipped once a week, which took a whole year.
In September 1969, the last of the fighter drawings were discovered before they could be shipped out. Martial law was imposed throughout Switzerland, and Israeli agents were hunted down, but they were not caught.
Over there, in Israel, most of the Mirage blueprints have been obtained.
Eventually, the Swiss engineer Frankenerscht was arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
He was released from prison in 1975 and actually served just over 4 years in prison.
On May 14, 1976, at the National Day celebration of Israel, Israel's self-developed Lion Cub fighter debuted, and engineer Frankenecht was invited to watch the performance.
