Chapter 468: Full of praise
Now, for the first time, the Soviets are using innovative technologies, and they are complacent about their advanced technology.
The people below are watching intently, General Lin is even more full of expectations, he is indeed very interested in this fighter, it can be said that from the first glance of it, he liked this kind of fighter.
In everyone's attention, Qin Feng stepped onto the fighter plane and entered the cockpit, when he sat in, he could feel that compared with the cockpit in the West, this cabin was still small, but compared to the MiG-21 series fighters, the cockpit was already a little wide.
When Qin Feng sat in, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Because it is too high, compared with the J-7 fighter that has flown before, its nose is not on the axis of the fuselage, the engine is below, and the nose is above, so that it feels farther from the ground, it is like sitting on the second floor, and the scene on both sides seen from here is also very different.
Look at the front, if it was a previous fighter, he could see the thick nose in front, with that huge air intake, but now, here, he can hardly see the nose, or rather, only a small part, because the forward vision of the MiG-29 fighter is too good, and this aircraft is definitely good if it is used as a ground attack aircraft.
Qin Feng can feel the shock of this vision at once, even if it is on the Phantom 2000, he will not have this feeling, if you take off and land, you must get used to this feeling of being high, but when you get used to it, you will find the beauty brought by this way.
It can be said that this is like driving a low sedan before, and suddenly driving a tall off-road vehicle, this is the feeling.
Qin Feng knew that it was difficult to control this kind of aircraft, but as long as he got used to controlling it, it would definitely be a qualified weapon, a combat weapon to take advantage of!
Qin Feng looked ahead, and then looked at the sides, and he could see the huge air intakes on both sides of the cockpit.
This is also the unique feature of the MiG-29, in order to take off and land on the airfield on the front line, it not only has the main air intake below, but also has an auxiliary air intake above the side wing, so that when the runway of the field airfield on the front line is more debris, it can close the air intake below and directly use the air intake above to supply engine air.
At the same time, this operation will inevitably lead to the limitation of the internal space of the fighter, this fighter uses two engines, fuel consumption is definitely not low, and the internal space is not particularly sufficient, it seems that there is not much fuel stored, in this way, it is the same as the previous MiG, the range will not be far.
"Our fighter is mainly used for close-range combat, the engine is full of power, the side wing can bring high angle of attack performance, plus its missile."
Just when Qin Feng was enjoying himself in the cockpit above, everyone was also below, listening to Marokov continue to introduce this fighter, and now, Marrokov is introducing the most important weapons and equipment of this fighter.
"Our R-73 missile is also a cross-era weapon." Now, the Americans have the AIM-9L advanced combat missile, and since they are not far behind, the R-60 missile of the previous generation is destined to be unable to confront them, so they have developed the latest combat missile.
This missile, which has been designed since 1973 and was finalized until last year, is considered the most advanced short-range air-to-air missile in the Soviet Union.
Speaking of short-range combat missiles, there are now imported Israel's Monster Snake-3 in China, and on this basis, his own Thunderbolt-8 missiles have been developed, so General Lin is still confident in short-range combat missiles.
"Our missiles have an off-axis launch capability of more than forty degrees." "This missile is designed to be used in conjunction with helmet sights, and in close combat, the combination of the two can maximize this advantage," Marokov said. ”
As an air force general, General Lin has been at the forefront all these years, and when he heard Marokov's introduction, he immediately understood.
Ordinary pilots, to lock on to the target by radar, and the ability to launch off-axis will not exceed thirty degrees, but what about Soviet aircraft? As long as the pilot turns his head to look at you, he will lock on to you, and what is even more terrifying is that when the pilot sees you, it also means that the other person's missile has also locked on you, and can launch a fatal strike at any time!
In air combat, it is necessary to race against time, even if it is a second of delay, the enemy may be preempted, and now, these devices of the MiG-29 have made them ace equipment in air combat!
Although this missile is newly developed, the Soviet Union does not seem to have any intention of cherishing the broom, and after the missile was finalized and put into service, it also gave the name K-73E for export abroad. The first country to receive it, of course, was the GDR.
And according to the number of the NATO side, this missile is called the AA-11 "Archer".
The combination of such missiles and helmet-mounted sights allows pilots to gain air superiority in close air combat. It was also the first time that Soviet fighters gained a technological superiority!
In the past, because of the advanced technology of the West, the Soviet Union almost always fought under backward equipment, but from now on, everything has changed, and the Soviet Union also has advanced aircraft and missiles!
"That's right, it's really advanced, the engine of this fighter is too powerful, and the thrust-to-weight ratio must be more than one, right?" Everyone turned from the wing to the back, and they saw the two engines in the tail.
"That's for sure, it can climb vertically effortlessly as long as it's off the runway, and we've got two engines on this medium fighter just to be able to get a head start in close-quarters combat." Marokov said.
"How much thrust does it have?" One of the companions asked.
"The thrust of a single engine has reached 80,000 N, which is the same level as the American F404." Marokov said.
Eighty thousand Niu, in this case, can your own Jian-7 CP also use this kind of engine? One more option, if the Soviets were willing to export their engines alone.
"And what about its combat radius?" General Lin continued to ask.
"Its combat radius, capable of 500 kilometers, is enough for our Air Force." Marokov said.
Five hundred km? Suddenly, General Lin was stunned, this is too close, 500 kilometers, what can you do?
