Chapter 739: Mounted Missiles

The Su-27 fighter plane finally landed, and when the plane had landed and slid to the tarmac, there was still that rumbling roar in everyone's ears, and there were still complicated maneuvers of the fighter plane in front of them, and many actions were something that everyone usually did not dare to think of.

If you have been to the Paris Air Show, you can see that this air show is even more exciting than at the Paris Air Show!

"How, how does our aircraft compare with the MiG-29?" Simonov asked.

Generally speaking, the larger the aircraft, the more cumbersome it is, which is most clearly manifested in the skies of Vietnam, where the MiG-21 relies on the advantage of maneuverability and agility to constantly sneak attack the F4 Phantom fighter.

And now, the MiG-29 is a medium-sized aircraft, and the Su-27 is a heavy aircraft, it is said that the medium-sized aircraft should be more flexible, but in fact, the Su-27 completely breaks this, if compared with the last MiG-29 flight performance, the Su-27 should have better performance!

Why is that? Although the Su-27 is relatively large, its engine is also very strong, and at the same time, the control system of the Su-27 fighter uses fly-by-wire control, so it is more sensitive than the mechanical and hydraulic control of the MiG-29, which is also a normal embodiment of performance, especially its range, which is absolutely incomparable to the MiG-29.

Therefore, everyone is quite satisfied with the performance of this fighter.

"For this fighter, we also want to know the specific data on its combat performance, for example, its mounting, its radar, etc., please give us a detailed and true introduction." General Lin said.

The high mobility of a fighter does not mean that it can have advanced combat effectiveness, and it also needs the cooperation of weapon systems.

"Please rest assured that the model you use is the same as the model we use in China, except for the difference between the friend or foe identifier, the others are exactly the same configuration, and there will be no shrinkage." Simonov explained again.

Weapons are deliberately shrunk when they are exported, this is already a practice of theirs, their own models, must be higher than the exported models, and their own use and the West there is a gap, which leads to the performance of their exported models is even worse, in every world war, the Soviet weapons are completely defeated by the equipment under the Western system, it is because of this main reason.

Now, they have finally let go, and for China, they will not shrink and will keep these original equipment.

After all, they are now developing more advanced models, those T-10M that have already been seen by the Chinese, will soon be able to come out, this aircraft will be equipped with a large number of Soviet Air Force in the future, so they do not have to worry about revealing secrets, which is also in line with convention, the relationship between the Soviet Union and China, in the previous honeymoon period was perfectly reflected, a series of advanced MiG aircraft, after being developed in China, will also be exported to China, until the MiG-21 is terminated.

Now, they are back together, which is really embarrassing.

"And what about air-to-air missiles? Medium-range interceptor missiles? General Lin asked.

For the domestic air force, the most urgent shortage is the medium-range interception capability, which is to intercept the Soviet Union's backfire bombers in the north, and now, although the backfire bombers are no longer threatening with the change in relations between the two sides, the domestic air force still has shortcomings in medium-range interception.

"Equipped with this kind of fighter, it has the most advanced air-to-air missile in our country, codenamed R-27, and the performance of this missile is higher than that of the Sparrow." Although the missile belonged to the Pennant Design Bureau, after all, it was to be exported to China along with the Su-27, so here Simonov immediately boasted.

This missile, even better than the Sparrow missile? Is it possible? Missiles are the most test of electronic technology, the Americans' Sparrow missiles, the previous models have always been burning sticks, until the AIM-7M is considered to be stable, as for the R-27 missile, in Simonov's mouth, this missile is very powerful.

"The minimum range of this missile is 500 meters, the maximum range is 80 kilometers, and it is the same as our previous air-to-air missiles, with two models of radar and infrared seeker, which can be replaced at any time, and it is also a kind of modularity and has good scalability."

This missile is a new generation of air-to-air missiles that the Pennant Design Bureau began to develop in the seventies and was put into service in the eighties.

Generally speaking, the short-range air-to-air missile is an infrared seeker, mainly through the infrared rays of the enemy's aircraft to lock on to the target, in the early stage can only chase the tail, because the tail nozzle is the most intense infrared radiation source, in the later stage, with the improvement of the technology of the seeker, you can distinguish the heat of the friction between the nose and the air, and it has the ability to attack head-on.

However, the missile of the infrared seeker is hemispherical in front, and this shape is not aerodynamic, and the resistance is very large, so in the West, the seeker of medium-range air-to-air missiles is radar-guided, and the front of the radar's seeker is cone-shaped, just like this projectile, the air resistance is very small.

The West would hardly use an infrared seeker as a guidance device for medium-range missiles, but on Soviet missiles, it was a common practice, why is that?

Qin Feng can guess the reason, because the performance of their radar-guided missiles is unreliable, if the missiles are unreliable, then there must be additional measures, this unreliability, it may be that the seeker is easy to lose the target, or it may be easy to fail under complex electromagnetic interference, in short, the Soviets have little confidence in their missiles, so they will make this kind of strange thing.

Look at the United States, the Western world, when did this innovation occur?

However, now there is an urgent need for medium-range missiles in China, although Italy's pit viper missile technology has been introduced, and it has just begun to be digested and absorbed in China, and the supporting airborne radar has not been completed, so it will take a long time to have a service state, and the Su-27, once introduced, will immediately have a combat state.

"Can we get the weapon interface code and mount our own missile system when we introduce it?" Thinking of this, Qin Feng asked.

Qin Feng's question immediately made Simonov straighten his face: "Of course this is impossible!" When you say this, do you suspect that the performance of our missiles is not good enough? ”

General Lin could only play on the side: "Of course not, we just want one more choice, we will discuss this weapon interface later." ”
