The No. 02 SU-27SK carries all air-to-air missiles, the No. 07 SU-27SK carries only two combat missiles for self-defense, and the rest is all ground-strike munitions, including air-to-surface missiles, precision-guided bombs, and aerial fire.

The two fighters have been armed to the teeth, the pylons are basically full, and even the aviation fire brought by the No. 07 SU-27SK is still a double-mounted launcher, which is twice as large as the single-loading bombs that were commonly used before, and the firepower is stronger and the ability to last longer.

Everything was ready, and the fighter plane was towed to the semi-open parking shed outside and put on combat readiness. The maintenance team stayed by the fighter plane every step of the way, and put it aside for a period of time to do an inspection to ensure that it could be dispatched at any time. Even the fuel pipe is connected to the engine in the driving state, and the command can slide out as soon as the fuel pipe is picked.

Li Zhan and Nie Jianfeng should be on duty to wait for the notice from the Tiger Detachment, or the order from their superiors. The dispatch of two fighter planes to carry so many live ammunition must have been taken very seriously by the higher-level leading organs. However, when will the training start, the Air Force will have to wait for Lao Lu's comrades.

Xue Xiangdong summoned Li Zhan over and said, "The missile has been seen, and Commander Chen said that you should put the test launch report in the 228 topic." ”

Chen Hualin, the former commander of the 73rd Fighter Aircraft Division, has also rejuvenated his second life, and has been promoted to the rank of colonel and deputy army commander at the rank of full division, and is the commander of the Beiku Air Defense Base. The air defense base is at the regular army level, which means that Chen Hualin can be promoted again.

Li Zhan had a question, he boasted that he was relatively familiar with the weapons and equipment being developed in the army, but he had never heard of a monster air-to-air missile with a length of six meters. The PL-12 series is already exaggerated enough, capable of hitting eighty kilometers. In fact, the pilots did not pay much attention to data on paper, they never thought about destroying the enemy at a distance of eighty kilometers, that was basically a waste of ammunition. However, it is precisely the excess performance pursued by military scientific research because it reflects their scientific research capabilities.

"Brigade commander, what kind of ghost air-to-air missile is that, more than a meter longer than the YJ-91 anti-radiation missile, are you kidding?" Li Zhan said.

Xue Xiangdong said, "I don't know, it's unfinalized, I don't know what it's called." The factory is called a long-range over-the-horizon air-to-air missile. ”

"The concept of over-the-horizon is too broad, and dozens of kilometers away is over-the-horizon." Li Zhan said, "Isn't it the same with Thunderbolt 12, and isn't it the same with R77? ”

Xue Xiangdong said, "Don't you know that there is a new model of AIM-120, it came out a few years ago, and now it has a D type, with a range of 150 kilometers." We don't have any air-to-air missiles that can fight it. That's why I made such a monster out. ”

It turned out that the D-type was obtained, and Li Zhan's information lagged behind.

"The dual-pulse solid rocket engine has used all the technology of space rockets, which is really enough." Li Zhan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'm afraid these two bullets will cost 10 million?" ”

A normal air-to-air missile has only one engine, but this monster air-to-air bomb is a double-shot...... The power unit is a dual-pulse rocket engine with a ramjet engine attached to the bomb body...... I can't wait to put all the legendary advanced technology to use.

"20 million a piece, if you add the scientific research funds, 500 million each, you have 1 billion in your hand." Xue Xiangdong said with a smile.

Li Zhan was stunned, "If this project fails, won't more than a billion research funds be wasted?" If the troops do not procure, the manufacturers must not lose money? ”

"So it depends on how well you play, the test firing effect is excellent, the troops purchase a large number of them, and the unit price will naturally come down when the quantity goes up. Contrarily...... Manufacturers will not lose money, there are subsidies. Xue Xiangdong said.

Li Zhan said violently, "Why did you let me fight?" There are not a bunch of test pilots in the test flight institute, they specialize in this job. ”

"You don't want to?" Xue Xiangdong frowned and asked.

Li Zhan said, "No. I talked with Yuan Boning that the situation of their tiger detachment was rather troublesome this time, and if the drill was not fought well in this live-fire confrontation exercise, the unit would probably have to be withdrawn. We all have to help as much as we can. With unformed missiles, I'm worried that something will go wrong. ”

"The superiors have the considerations of the superiors, and you just do it." Xue Xiangdong said.

Li Zhan asked, "Brigade commander, replace R27 with R77EE for me, so that it is safer." ”

"Nope." Xue Xiangdong shook his head, "That's also very expensive, six or seven million pieces, you still play R27, it's all stock bombs, and they are about to expire, and if they don't knock them out, they will be destroyed." ”

Li Zhan couldn't cry or laugh, "Brigade Commander, you are doing business, everything is to win." Besides, didn't this batch of R77EE also just bought back, let me test shoot two to see the effect. ”

"Don't say it, it's impossible. Don't you have two Thunderbolt Twelve, and there is no problem with using medium-range bombs as combat bullets. Xue Xiangdong said.

Li Zhan sighed and said, "I'm worried that something will happen to that six-meter-long monster, so I won't be able to shoot more than 80 kilometers." ”

"Isn't the mission very clear, the army simulates that the blue army will take off a high-performance target aircraft at a distance of 300 kilometers, and you have to launch a monster missile at an altitude of 10,000 meters and 300 kilometers away to test the combat effectiveness of the missile at the maximum range." Xue Xiangdong said.

Li Zhan frowned and said, "Is it really the target aircraft detachment in the Army's simulated Blue Army unit?" ”

"Nonsense, isn't it? Not who they are? Xue Xiangdong glared, "This is Lao Lu's confrontation drill, and our air force will assist you and Nie Jianfeng in participating in the two fighters." ”

Li Zhan said, "I understand, three hundred kilometers...... The missile has to fly for five minutes......"

"More than three minutes." Xue Xiangdong corrected.

Li Zhan's brows jumped, "Is it so fast?" ”

Xue Xiangdong nodded affirmatively.

Li Zhan thought thoughtfully, "It looks like it's really a monster empty bomb." ”

"After launching the missile, you have to accelerate and fly forward, and you must make sure that the radar confirms whether the target aircraft is destroyed, which is very important." Xue Xiangdong said solemnly.

"It's not easy, is it? After the launch, I immediately drove the afterburner at an altitude of 10,000 meters and soared at supersonic speed, soaring at Mach 2, and I should be able to fly forward 180 kilometers in more than three minutes, and Su Erqi's airborne radar can see at most 150 kilometers, and I can't catch up with the live broadcast. Li Zhan frowned and said.

Xue Xiangdong said, "Then if you drive at top speed, the target will have evasive actions, and it will not be so easy to be hit." You've got five minutes, which is enough time for you to get within 80 kilometers. ”

"Soaring 2,500 kilometers per hour...... Li Zhan was stunned, "Can the fighter hold up?" ”

Xue Xiangdong asked rhetorically, "Why didn't you worry about this when you were flying supersonic before?" ”

"Seek truth from facts, brigade commander, depending on the specific situation, you must soar when you should soar, and you must not soar when you can't." Li Zhan defended, "The main reason is that the nose life of the aircraft is getting less and less, and the new aircraft will not be in place until the end of June. ”

Xue Xiangdong said, "I know what your kid has in mind. All in all, this task is only possible for you, and your superiors believe in your abilities. Fight hard, whether the billions of scientific research funds have been wasted or have played their due role depends on your test launch. ”

After thinking about it, he still explained, "The main thing is that the higher-level leading organs want to see what the effect of this ammunition is actually used and whether it can achieve the performance of the indicators proposed at the beginning." ”

"Totally understood." Li Zhan suddenly realized.

It turned out to be the acceptance of the product!

That's a good thing.
