Chapter Seventy-Four: Adjusting the Cannon

Advances in electronics have made it quite easy to aim artillery, and the hotline can do everything. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info However, the old-fashioned fighters are troublesome to aim, such as the Jianjiao VII, which uses the original active halo sight, codenamed Sight-7.

This is an optical sighting device, which relies on the light of the illuminator to pass through the condenser, through the overlap of the light shield and the leakage lithography line of the ring plate group, forming a prismatic light point and a ring center composed of a halo; Then through the reflector, through the gyroscope, the reflector is reflected to the objective lens for magnification, and then projected onto the scope, the pilot can see the aiming halo and distance number through aiming.

This kind of device is also extremely cumbersome to use, the pilot judges the enemy model according to the enemy situation report or visual contact, turns the wingspan knob, and selects the wingspan scale, because the enemy's wingspan is used as the benchmark for ranging; Then pull the ring selector lever to the active ring position; Press the ring stabilization button to make the aura follow the movement state of the machine; Turn the ranging handle to enlarge the aura; Estimate the elevation angle and advance angle, place the halo above the front of the target, release the ring stabilization button, reduce the aura, and slowly fall on the target as the aura moves backwards and downwards. And that's just the early stage!

In professional shooting terminology, there are sayings such as "follow", "wrap well", and "be sure". The central light point is basically aligned and pressed on the center or critical position of the target, firmly following the target, and the linear angular velocity of the target is measured; Rotate the ranging handle to reduce the aura, let the prismatic light point that makes up the halo surround the target with the inner tip, grasp the tightness of the encirclement according to the projection ratio of the enemy aircraft, and measure the target distance to form a comprehensive correction angle.

When all this is done, it can be regarded as a comprehensive correction, and after tracking for another second or so, it is ready to fire.

Such a complex action is not something that ordinary people can accomplish! Even experienced pilots don't have enough time to do this before shooting, so it's more common for pilots to use experience to estimate and fight bayonets in the air at the same time! Fight again when you get closer! There are often cases where enemy fighters are knocked out, and as a result, their own fighters are also scarred because they are too close.

Now, this sight is similar to the one that Andrei trained and used in his previous life, and Andrei knows that it will be too difficult to rely on this sight completely.

Because I hit a target with three times the speed of sound this time, the shooting window left for myself is too short!

In fact, the MiG-25 is already a relatively advanced fighter, with a pulse-Doppler radar and a forward-looking infrared search / tracking system. However, it is absolutely impossible for the existing maintenance personnel to link these systems, such as using Doppler radar ranging, directly outputting data to the sight, which can reduce the previous steps.

So what should I do? Watching the crew busily drilling holes and loading sights in the cockpit of his fighter plane, Andrei knew that he had to prepare in advance!

What to do? Andrei's mind was thinking rapidly, he didn't only have a disadvantage, but also an advantage! The biggest advantage is that the target you want to hit is not a flexible fighter, but a reconnaissance plane that flies in a straight line almost all the time!

Why are there so many steps? That's because it's quite difficult to hit a highly mobile fighter! This was already the case in World War II, only excellent pilots were able to get the opportunity to attack in constant tail biting, and in air combat, there should not be a second of straight flight! This is the lesson of blood!

But now, the target they have to deal with is a reconnaissance aircraft, and when the Blackbird flies to three times the speed of sound, it can only fly in a straight line, and even if it turns, it is impossible to turn with a large overload! Therefore, all kinds of data can be set in advance! When the time comes, your own interception can no longer be a head-on interception, you need to chase after you! Set a reasonable volley route and you can intercept it calmly!

Thanks to the advantages from later generations, Andre knows all kinds of data of the Blackbird, the wingspan of the Blackbird is 17 meters, the length of the aircraft is 33 meters, when the afterburner is turned on for supersonic flight, the fastest can reach Mach 3.35, although the maximum speed exceeds his own, but as long as the interception line is reasonable, he still has a chance to shoot down the opponent!

It doesn't take much, as long as one is shot down, the Americans' Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft will be completely honest!

Then, I still need to negotiate with the guide to plan the interception route this time!

"Report to the regiment commander, it has been modified and it is ready for test guns." Viktor said to Andrei.

"Okay, go find an open space outside and test the gun!" Andrei said.

Weapons are not ready to be used, they must be adjusted to determine the accuracy of the alignment of the sighting device with the weapon, and now, the test is only necessary to be completed on the ground.

032 was dragged out of the hangar, and a paper target was placed in the distance in a clearing outside.

"Boom, boom, boom." The cannon let out an earth-shattering roar, and the paper target three hundred meters away was smashed into pieces in an instant, and the smoke was filled, and the power of the 23mm double-barreled cannon was really too great!

"Yes, yes." Andrei said that as long as the shooting at stationary targets can be accurate, as long as the sights are adjusted, they can hit the moving target.

In Andrei's mind, he already has a complete plan, sets up the wingspan data, gets close from below, tracks stably for a second, and fires directly! Your own route planning is now the focus!

"Head Andre, it's so lively here." Just then, a voice came to my ears.

Andrei just doesn't look up, and he knows who it is, the commander of the base, Kozhdub!

"Commander Kozhidub, what's the matter?" Andrei asked.

"I heard that you are modifying fighters and preparing to intercept the Americans' reconnaissance planes again, so I came here to take a look." Kozhdub said: "There is a need for me, despite the orders, this mission is related to the glory of our Sokolovka base. ā€

"It's okay, Commander, you can get busy." Andrei said as he strode onto the plane, ready to adjust the sights on it in advance, and at the same time to get used to this ancient way of shooting.

Kozhdub stood awkwardly below, the sun shining overhead, sweat constantly falling. If it was before, such a little person, Kozhdub would not care at all, but now, people are Heroes of the Soviet Union! Even Kozhdub is talking happily now, and now he is caught by the other party's little tail!

Damn that nephew, he actually did something to sell spare parts in the warehouse! Just to get a few bottles of vodka! This kind of thing can be big or small, if it is solved within the base, then there is nothing, at most it is just to write an inspection. However, if the KGB were to intervene in the investigation, it would be troublesome! In case some spare parts flow out of the country and reach the hands of the Americans, even they will have to be unlucky!
