"Young man, you have done a good job in the Far East, you have made a great contribution to our national defense, especially the EP-3, which has made us understand the advanced electronic technology of the West. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Ustinov said: "Moreover, you also shot down traitors with your own hands to prevent the secrets of our newest fighter from falling into the hands of the Americans." ”

"Everything is for the interests of the motherland, the United States is our enemy, we must always be highly vigilant, as a pilot, even if blood is spilled in the sky, I will have no regrets." Andrei said.

"Yes, we just have to have this kind of fearless spirit!" Ustinov said: "Now, the Americans are still diplomatically putting pressure on us to hand over this EP-3 and its pilots to the Americans, but we will not compromise easily, but as we continue to study these electronic technologies, our researchers, the differences are also getting bigger and bigger." ”

Of course, there are differences, and Andrei certainly knows that many Soviet technicians still cling to the idea that the tube is omnipotent, and sneer at the advanced electronic technology of the United States; at the same time, some scientists have realized that the tube is outdated and hopes to vigorously develop microelectronic technology and apply it to weapons systems.

Later generations have proved that the path of the electron tube is wrong, and the gap between the Soviets in this regard is gradually increasing.

Although Andrei knows that there is a gap in electronic technology in the current Soviet Union, this is not something that Andrei can control, although he has been awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, but it is still far from those decision-makers, not in his position, not in his politics, Andrei remembered Catherine's words to dissuade him, and still felt that it was better to say less.

"Young man, how do you feel about our existing gear?" Ustinov was clearly very satisfied with Andrei, and as a pilot equipped with the most advanced MiG-25 fighters, it was very necessary to ask him about the experience of the front-line personnel.

Since the other party asked himself, Andrei didn't have to be polite: "Our fighters can fly to an altitude of 30,000 meters and can reach speeds of Mach 3, which has caused a lot of psychological pressure on the Americans. ”

During the Cold War, the pressure on the Western world on the MiG-25 was unprecedented, and Andrei was right, he entered the skies over Hokkaido several times, and the Americans did not take him.

"However, our fighters also have weaknesses, for example, we use the high-thrust R-15B-300 engine, the overhaul time is only 150 hours, normally speaking, it needs to be overhauled once in half a year, and a new engine has to be replaced in a year, which will cause a great burden on logistics maintenance, and if the life of the engine can be extended, it can effectively improve our attendance." Andrei said.

The equipment of the Soviet Union was obtained according to the experience of the World War II era, and even the best pilots could not fly for 100 hours before they were shot down, and the average life of a fighter plane was only a few dozen hours, so the aircraft did not need to be built for so long, hundreds of hours were enough.

However, now is the Cold War period, there is no real conflict, short life, will cause great waste, in contrast, at this time the United States F-4 fighter mainly used J-79 engine, life up to 4000 hours, almost in the whole life of the fighter does not need to change the engine, greatly reducing the cost of use.

Of course, for the Soviet Union, which had a planned economy, there was no particular cost at all. In today's society, there is waste everywhere.

"Also, our electronic technology needs to develop faster." Andrei shifted the topic to the point, Andrei could not reveal the dispute between tubes and transistors, he could only explain what kind of electronic equipment will be needed in the future from the perspective of a pilot himself.

"The Tornado-A radar previously equipped, although the volume and power are very large, but the search distance is not more than 100 kilometers, and a lot of energy is used for heat consumption, and now the improved Sapphire-25 radar is used, and it finally has the ability of pulse Doppler, but the ability of the processing system is limited, for example, when it is on the sea, warships can also be found, but on land, the screen is full of clutter." Andrey continued: "At the same time, the R-40 missiles we use with the semi-active radar seeker always fail, so when mounting, I always choose the model of the infrared seeker. And on the briefing we sent, the Americans' F-14 fighters can already use the fire control radar to lock on to six targets at the same time and control six missiles to attack at the same time, which is something we can't even imagine, and in terms of electronic technology, the Americans surpass us by a large margin. ”

In 73 years, the American Tomcat fighter carried the Immortal Bird missile, conducted a test launch at the Pacific Missile Range, and launched 6 AIM-54A Immortal Bird missiles at the same time within 38 seconds, attacking 6 target aircraft at a distance of 50 to 80 kilometers, 4 of which hit directly, 1 was not scored due to target failure, and the other 1 missed the target.

And the Soviet Union at this time, needless to say, controlled six at the same time, even controlled one, which was not very stable!

Andrey's meaning is very simple: American electronic technology is indeed advanced, and the electronic technology route chosen by the American side is correct.

Ustinov nodded, the combination of the Americans' Tomcat fighter and the Immortal Bird missile is simply the nemesis of the MiG-25, and in the face of the attack of the Immortal Bird missile, the disadvantage of the MiG-25 is obvious.

"So what do you think can quickly improve our electronic technology?" Ustinov asked Andrei.

In the field of electronic technology, the Soviet Union is indeed lagging behind a lot, and even if it catches up, it will be a long process. Ustinov also had a headache with this problem.

Looking at the man in front of him, with a cold light in his eyes at all times, Andre knew that this was an iron-blooded soldier, and he also had his own answer: "If you want to improve quickly, I have an idea, we got it from the island country!" ”

Under the enslavement of the Americans, the island country quickly adapted to its identity as a dog, and moreover, the economy developed very rapidly, science and technology were also developed, and electronic technology was first-class.
