"Yes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Andre's answer is also extremely simple: "stealth, it can be said, is directly related to the victory of our air combat in the next ten years, if we can't do the best in stealth performance, then, our air force and air defense forces, there is no hope of victory, in the next generation of fighters, stealth is a hard indicator, must be determined, the forward radar reflection area of our next generation of fighters, It cannot exceed 0.1 square meters, preferably on the order of 0.05 square meters, that is, about the size of a helmet. ”

What is the reflection area of the current Soviet fighters? The positive radar reflection area of the Su-27 is definitely more than 5 square meters, that is, it is a hundred times lower!

"Stealth performance will affect the outcome of future wars. In this Middle East war, we have experienced the threat of stealth fighters, and even I myself was almost killed by the bombing of stealth fighters by the Americans. "You should know what it means when the radar reflection area is reduced to the order of 0.1 square meters," Andrey said. ”

"All our radars will be blind." The commander-in-chief of the Air Defense Force on the side said. In this Middle East war, the greatest impact on the Soviet territorial air defense forces was this attack aircraft of the Americans! He knew that the existing air defense forces of the Soviet Union would not be able to detect this kind of fighter at all, and if a world war really broke out, even if this kind of plane flew over Moscow and dropped bombs, his own side would not have any countermeasures, and when the time came, he, the commander of the air defense force, would have no second choice but to resign!

"The emergence of stealth technology will completely change the situation of future wars." Andrei said: "Perhaps, we thought that all this was still far away, but when the American F-117 dropped bombs over Iraq, we should be completely awakened by these bombs, stealth aircraft, will change the future air combat situation, and if we want to catch up, we must develop the same stealth performance." For example, let me give you a simple tactical example. ”

Andrei stood up and casually picked up the two aircraft models next to him: "This fighter has not strong stealth performance, and this one has strong stealth performance, when both sides turn on the radar at the same time, this one cannot detect each other at a distance of fifty kilometers, and the other party has been able to detect each other!" ”

For the first one, Andrei picked up a MiG, and for the second, Andrei picked up a Sukhoi fighter. (For the sake of narrative convenience, they are referred to below as M-machine and S-machine.) ）

"In this way, the M machine does not know what threat is in front of it, and the S machine on the opposite side has completed the search and locking, and launched the missile, everyone knows that now our missile performance is constantly developing, the latest R-77, the design overload is 35 to 40G, this overload is far greater than the overload of the fighter, so as long as it is locked by the missile and attacked, then, it is easy to be shot down." Andre grabbed the fighter plane with both hands and kept gesturing.

Although it is the R-27 that has just entered service now, however, the latest R-77 has begun to be in the design stage, which is a medium-range air-to-air missile with an active warhead, and its performance is quite advanced. A small active seeker for a flat slot antenna has been manufactured, much more advanced than in history.

"Of course, it is quite unwise for stealth aircraft to turn on the radar, which will lead to the triggering of the opponent's passive warning receiver, so our stealth aircraft, more air combat schemes, should be under the command of the early warning aircraft in the rear, quietly approaching, and then, using optoelectronic radar, that is, advanced systems such as the OEPS-27 optoelectronic fire control system on our Su-27 to aim, these devices do not radiate radar waves and will not be detected, such as now."

Andrei continued to use two aircraft to demonstrate: "The M aircraft cruised normally in the sky, and the S aircraft, under the command of the AWACS aircraft in the rear, went around to the rear of the M aircraft, took a place at a distance of fifty kilometers, turned on the fire control system, launched the missile, and after the seeker entered the active guidance range, the missile was launched. During the whole process, the downed fighter plane was in a state of ignorance, and until it was shot down, he did not know where the missile came from. As for the system he has, neither a ground-based radar station nor an airborne early warning aircraft can effectively detect stealth aircraft. ”

"Is it that our pilots are not brave? Definitely not! Is it because our pilots are not very skilled? Neither is it! And our pilots, however, have to rise into the air under the threat of stealth aircraft, until they are shot down, there is no possibility of counterattack! Andrey said: "All this is because of us, because we did not pay attention to the huge threat that stealth performance brings to modern air combat!" The style of air combat will change dramatically! If we do not pay attention to it, and let our pilots have to fly fighter planes that have no stealth ability to confront the other side's stealth planes and achieve a miserable exchange ratio, this is something we absolutely cannot tolerate, and when the time comes, these people in our seats will all become Soviet sinners! ”

Although Andrei is not very old, however, Andrei's qualifications already allow him to speak in such a tone, if he does not pay attention to stealth performance, he is a sinner of the Soviets!

"It's not that we don't pay attention to stealth capabilities, it's just that we think that stealth capabilities shouldn't affect maneuverability excessively, and we focus on new technologies, such as our use of plasma technology for stealth, isn't it better to deal with the problem of stealth and maneuverability?" said the chief engineer of the Mikoyan Design Bureau.

The use of diamond-shaped nose, butterfly-shaped wings, and a large inclination tail does not meet aerodynamic standards, and the drag will become large, like the F-117, which focuses on stealth.

The F-117 is only an attack aircraft, and the new fighter, if too much attention is paid to stealth performance, resulting in poor maneuverability, then it cannot be the standard of fighters.

Mikoyan's designers, for this reason, simply dealt with the stealth problem, pinning more hopes on plasma stealth technology. (To be continued.) )
