MiG-29 and Su-27, are the central fluid design institute to provide aerodynamic shape, so, some laymen are difficult to see what is the difference between the two aircraft, in fact, there is a big difference between the two, one short, one long, Su-27, just like the elongated MiG-29, look at the cockpit and the proportion of the entire fighter, you can see clearly.

Of course, there are many other distinctions, such as looking at the back butt, the Su-27 wants to add a tail vertebrae, which looks peculiar, like a bee's hook, and behind the butt of the MiG-29, there is nothing except two chrysanthemums.

Compared with the short-legged MiG-29, the Su-27 has a huge range, under normal circumstances, the flight of the Su-27 does not need to be mounted with a drop fuel tank at all, the internal oil is enough, and even in general training, the internal fuel will not be filled, so when there is a real opportunity, the Air Force naturally chooses the Su-27 without hesitation.

Now the Su-27 is still a secret, everyone does not know about the existence of this fighter, just being able to see the MiG-29 with their own eyes is already unprecedented.

"How is the long-range interception capability of this fighter?" General Lin asked again, when he asked this, he was still a little embarrassed, you know, the main mission of the domestic air force is to intercept the bombers of the Soviets.

The close combat ability of this aircraft is good, with a large angle of attack fuselage design, advanced combat missiles, and various advanced locking equipment, but I just haven't heard the other party talk about how the long-range interception capability of this aircraft is.

If it is like F-16, only have the ability to fight in close quarters, it is chicken ribs, the F-16 has not been introduced, this is a big problem, although the interception ability of the Tomcat fighter is quite strong, but the price is too high, you really can't accept it, otherwise, the most suitable is the Tomcat fighter.

Hearing General Lin's question, General Marokov said: "Our MiG-29 fighter is currently mainly using the most advanced R-73 missiles, and at the same time, we are also developing a series of new medium-range air-to-air missiles to equip it, and the R-27 missile will complete the integration with its system." ”

(Actually, when it comes to Soviet missiles, sometimes they use R-27 to denote them, and sometimes they use P-27 to denote them, the front is in English, and the back is in Russian, so it is more appropriate for Marokov to be called P-27, but in order to adapt to most people's names, it is still called R-27 missiles.)

This missile is the latest developed by the Soviet Union, and it has been carried out since the seventies, but until now, it is only a small batch of the initial model of missiles with the conditions for entering service, and the real system integration has not yet begun, that is, until now, the MiG-29 fighter has not yet had a medium-range interception capability, which is almost similar to the F-16.

Although it is similar, but, after all, there is still a difference, the Americans do not install a single-pulse target irradiation system for the F-16, and the Soviets have not yet done a new generation of air-to-air missiles, in fact, among the air-to-air missiles of later generations, the R-77 missile is a real medium-range missile, and the current R-27 is also quite backward.

"What about its radar? Are flat slot antennas used? When Qin Feng said this, he felt that it was inappropriate, this kind of radar antenna, even the French and British have not yet mastered it, and the Soviet Union is even more impossible, because the processing technology of the Soviets has always been very poor, and their weapon systems have always been five big and three coarse.

However, it is clear that the technology is not as high as that of the West, and the electronic systems are also backward, but the Soviets assembled those parts and components to integrate a superb weapon system, which is the case with the MiG-29 and the S-300 air defense missile system.

"Our MiG-29 fighters do not have this kind of radar for the time being, but this does not mean that we do not have this kind of technology, and we plan to use this kind of radar in newer fighters." Marokov said that when he said this, he was actually a bit swollen and fat.

Others don't know, Marokov is clear, their heavy fighter Su-27, is going to use this technology, but what, several scientific research institutions in charge of radar, studied for several years, and could not break through, so the Su-27 fighter was forced to use an enlarged version of the MiG-29 radar to achieve the function, although the function was realized, but the weight of the radar system gave the Sukhoi Design Bureau a headache for several years.

"Our radar uses an inverted Cassegrain antenna, which basically reaches the level of American radar of the same period, for example, for a target the size of a fighter jet, the search range is 80 kilometers, the tracking distance is 50 kilometers, and it has the ability to look down/down, which belongs to a pulse Doppler radar." Marokov said.

The MiG-29 fighter, which is a medium fighter, is not bad to have such a radar.

However, everyone knows that such a fighter really does not meet the needs of their own side. The two conditions that you need, long range, long-distance interception, this fighter does not have, in this case, is there still a need for your own side to introduce it?

That's right, the close-range combat ability is very good, but what your side lacks the most at the moment is not close-range combat, you already have the Monster Snake-3 missile, and if you want to talk about close-range combat, you may not be able to suffer. However, the long-range interception capability is still blank, and what the side needs most is this ability.

"Of course, if you want to introduce our MiG-29 fighters, we have a precondition, this fighter must not be deployed in the northern region."

This condition is also inevitable, and the fighter planes introduced by China must not threaten the existence of the Soviet Union in the end!

Even if it was the later Su-27, when negotiating, this was a prerequisite, the introduction of the Su-27 could not be deployed in the north, the original Su-27 was deployed in the south, and at that time, the biggest threat was not in the north, but in the East China Sea.

But now, this is an absolute no-no.

So, although the MiG-29 looks beautiful, it is destined to have no chance with itself!

In everyone's hearts, almost the same psychology, when they saw this fighter, everyone was excited, but now, everyone knows, at least for now, just to see.

"Will we have a chance to test fly it?" Qin Feng asked tentatively.

If you can fly once, it would be good, in this regard, it is the French who are the most open, they are completely open to China, when they flew the Mirage 2000, it feels incomparable, and now, if they can fly the MiG-29 once, it will be even better.

The thrust-to-weight ratio of this fighter is more than one, and when it takes off, there must be rapid power, and Qin Feng is very eager for the feeling of pushing back from the seat.

"I'm sorry, this time it won't work, next time, when we continue to talk about this project, we will give you enough opportunities to fly." Marokov said.
