Chapter 73: Ivanov's support
"Regiment commander, this spare parts warehouse is too messy, I suggest that our regiment carry out a thorough cleanup, and reclassify all kinds of items into a book, what do you think?" Andrei said to the regiment commander Ivanov. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Report to the head of the group, you don't have to worry about these little things, we can handle them." Akim said quickly.
"No need." Andrei glanced at Akim meaningfully: "Our aircraft maintenance is usually too busy, and we don't have time to maintain the fighters, where can I find time to sort out the backup warehouse, I still ask my superiors to send someone." β
Superiors please? Akim felt his body tremble, Andrei's words couldn't be more obvious, everything here, Captain Andrei in front of him must have already known, he wanted to stab it!
What to do? Akim slowly stepped back, quietly left the warehouse, and hurriedly went to the base commander Kozhidub to discuss!
"Found it!" Just then, there was a shout. In a large birch box, there is a backup cannon pod!
"Okay, push it to the hangar, and modify it now!" Andrei said.
Looking at several young aircraft attendants, pushing these boxes away in a trolley, Ivanov on the side whispered to Andrei: "Andrey, do you know what you are doing? β
Andrei nodded: "Yes, regiment commander, we are a combat regiment, there will be combat missions at any time, I don't want there to be a time bomb in our regiment, I have to clear it!" We must not let some people who only care about their own interests continue to stay with us! β
Andrei remembered that in later generations, after Gotu came to power, there was chaos everywhere in the Soviet Union, and some bold guys constantly sold the country's property to the detriment of the public, and such a situation could not happen again!
It is a war without gunpowder that is being waged by oneself, but it is more dangerous than fighting the Americans, and it is very difficult to turn the situation of the whole country on oneself.
Fortunately, I am not alone!
"Andrey, I support you!" Ivanov said: "It's time to straighten things out!" Blame me too, I used to always be conniving. β
The relationship between the flight regiment and the base is very delicate, and Ivanov has always been tolerant of the commander of the base, Kozhdub, including the other party inserting some connections into the maintenance group, and Ivanov agreed.
And after the Belenko incident, Ivanov also felt a little remorseful in his heart, because he also heard the content that has now been classified as absolutely secret, and Belenko's words before being shot down, he was dissatisfied with the status quo of the base! Including Andre almost had an accident, it was all because of the problem of machine maintenance!
Andrei is now going to straighten out, and Ivanov is supportive.
"Thank you, Captain." Andrei said: "Now, if we want to protect the side of the treasury, especially the records, to prevent accidents, I will contact the KGB agency in Vladivostok to come and help verify, investigate this matter to the end, and bring out a pot of people!" β
Contact the KGB agency in Vladivostok! The power of the KGB is huge, and the internal affairs of the army can also be interfered in, and AndrΓ© will of course get Andropov's affirmation by doing this, because, just before he came, Andrei received a call from Andropov again, if there is something, ask the KGB in Vladivostok for help!
And that Major Serov will not come to trouble him for the time being. What Andre is most worried about is that Akim is a person, if he knows that his ugly things will be exposed, will he jump off the wall in a hurry? For example, if you come over and steal the record and burn it, there will be no record, and it will be difficult to check.
Of course, if he did that, it would mean spending the rest of his life in prison, and the KGB would be able to find out everything.
These are small things, and the biggest thing for Andrei, of course, is to install the cannon and shoot down the Blackbird again! The higher-ups gave a death order, so the 513th Regiment was under great pressure to let the Blackbird fly in the Soviet sky.
The UPK-23 cannon pod was dismantled from the box, and with improvised lifting equipment, Victor and several crew members hoisted the cannon pod onto the wing pylons on the inside of the MiG-25.
Although the wing pylons are specially designed for the MiG-25, this pylon does not have a very special structure, and this time it is not a missile launch, it needs to have a detachment mechanism, as long as the cannon pod is fixed on the wing.
The installation did not take much effort, as suggested by Andrei, there was a cannon on the left and right, which on the one hand balanced the load on the wings on both sides, and on the other hand increased firepower.
Although it is more suitable under the nose of the fuselage, the cannon shells are easy to pass through the supersonic shock cone in front, but that will allow more gunpowder smoke to enter the air intake, and if it is prevented under the nose, it will be a major operation, and these tasks under his command will definitely not be completed.
"Commander Andrey, we need to add sights to the front of the cockpit." After installing the cannon, Victor said to Andrea, "But this will block all forward vision." β
Sights! It's not that you can just hang up the cannon and take to the air, if you want the fighter to hit the opponent, you must use sights!
Therefore, in the narrow cockpit of the USSR, the forward field of view was very small, because the front had to be equipped with sights! And on the MiG-25, the front is a little more open.
Because the MiG-25 was not intended to use a cannon, the only weapon was the R-40 missile, and the R-60 could only be launched later, and the way to fight was to launch the missile from a distance and then fly away, so there was no sight at all!
Now, with the addition of a cannon, it is necessary to install the corresponding sights, which just block the forward direction tightly.
"Yes." Andrei said, looking at the sights taken out of the box, still frowning.
Later generations of Andrei, in addition to flying Jianjiao VII in the aviation school, is to fly J-11, although it also comes from the Su-27, and the technology has not been thoroughly mastered, but in terms of avionics, Huaxia has surpassed Russia too much, and the replacement is advanced avionics equipment, and aiming and locking, mainly using the head-up display.
For example, aircraft artillery attack, J-11 has an enhanced envelope cannon aiming system that integrates radar, fire control system, inertial reference system, and head-up display, on the head-up display in front of the cockpit, it displays the cross line representing the trajectory of the shell and the two arcs that enclose the channel, the curvature of the arc changes with the flight action of the fighter, and when the target aircraft falls within the two arcs, it means that the target aircraft is on the same plane as itself, which is easy to pursue; When the wingspan of the target occupies the width of the arc, it means that it has entered the firing range, and if the cross line is above the target aircraft, the pilot only needs to keep the aircraft attitude stable, press the button, and the shell flow will go straight to the target.
