"Yes. Simonov said: "Our fighter has a total of 12 external hardpoints under the wing, with a maximum payload capacity www.biquge.info of eight tons. ”

Hearing Simonov's words, Andrei was completely relieved, and it seemed that the problems that plagued the Su-27 prototype had now been completely solved. If it weren't for the original radar drag, the Su-27 would never have been repeatedly modified in history, and now, the Su-27, which originally adopted an advanced flat-panel slit radar, has actually reached the level of the Su-27M in history.

"Yes, it seems that our big guy can also hang on the Su-27 in the future." Andrei said.

Among all the officers present, Andrey has the most abundant experience in actual combat, and now Andrey continues to fly a certain number of flight hours on the MiG-25 and MiG-31 every year, and last year, Andrey even successfully changed to the MiG-29 and flew more than a dozen sorties. And for the development of the Soviet military aircraft, Andrey, of course, had the most say.

The MiG-25 and MiG-31 can only be said to be on the edge of the sword, and in Andrey's hands, it is still possible to fight with the third-generation aircraft of the United States, but with the continuous improvement of American fighters, these aircraft finally rely on high altitude and high speed to gain living space, and close combat is absolutely not advocated. And these, when it came to the Su-27, finally made a breakthrough.

It can be said that the Su-27, a fighter with a long range, with a heavy interceptor style, is equipped with large air-to-air missiles, which can play the role of the MiG-31, and at the same time, the excellent close-range combat capability is not possessed by the MiG-31. The MiG-31 heavy interceptor is not suitable for a large number of equipment, and the Su-27 is the most suitable choice for the Soviets!

"Yes, our electronic systems have improved very rapidly in recent years." Hearing Andrei's words, Simonov sighed with emotion: "The radar contained in the nose of our fighter is comparable to the radar of the MiG-31 in terms of performance, and, after programming, it will be able to guide a big guy like the R-33, we are going to hang it on the fuselage pylons between the air intakes, and we can also mount improved R-37 missiles, specially prepared for sniping the enemy's AWACS aircraft." Moreover, our fighters can also carry various types of air-to-surface missiles and play the role of multi-purpose fighters. ”

The progress of electronic systems, which Simonov could not have imagined, and the dividends obtained from the war in the Far East played a decisive role in the development of the defense industry of the Soviet Union as a whole.

"Yes, our aviation forces finally have more advanced fighters capable of comprehensively overpowering the West." Andrei was impressed.

Until now, the West is still in the shadow of the MiG-25 can not get rid of, in fact, the MiG-25, the stainless steel fighter, has been completely outdated, except for high-altitude and high-speed, other performance is seriously backward, does not represent the future direction.

Watching this fighter continue to leave the production workshop, Andrei finally couldn't help it: "Comrade Simonov, can you let me come for the first flight of this fighter?" ”

As a newly manufactured fighter plane, it cannot be delivered to the troops immediately, and it must be tested in the factory for test flights, and after all performance indicators meet the requirements, it will be flown to combat units. In Shen Fei, Andre is a test pilot who does this, in fact, there are not many, basically just take a turn in the sky and make sure that there is no problem in control and other aspects.

Simonov was completely confident in this plane, but it was absolutely impossible to ask Andrey to fly around to verify it.

"General Andrei, this..." Simonov didn't know how to refuse, after all, without the support of General Andrei, there would be no Sukhoi Design Bureau now, there would be no Su-27, but, after all, General Andrei did not fly over the Su-27, and the most important thing is that if something happens to General Andrei here, he can't take responsibility!

"I'm going to change into a flight suit." Andrei didn't give him a chance and ran straight to the back.

"Marshal Ustinov, General Andrei is going to personally test fly this plane." As a result, Simonov could only look at Marshal Ustinov, who was the highest-ranking member of the group.

"Yes, yes." Ustinov has already stepped on the ladder, looked at the cockpit inside, while looking, while admiring, although I can't understand what is inside, but it looks so powerful, especially, the display in the upper right corner, so flat, not like a picture tube, is it the latest LCD technology?

Then, he reacted: "What? Andrey is going to test fly? ”

By the time Ustinov reacted, Simonov below had been waiting for five minutes, and in the distance, the pilot, who was wearing a helmet and a full body, had already arrived.

Judging from the number of the flight suit, it is his own test pilot, Simonov breathed a sigh of relief, the new one-piece flight suit, including the compensatory suit, is different from before, General Andrei must not even have found the pilot's preparation room now, fortunately!

Even if General Andrei scolds a few words for a while, it is better than General Andrei driving this Su-27!

Thinking of this, Simonov said: "Pugachev, ready?" ”

The other nodded.

"Then get on the plane, fly around for the leaders and come down." Simonov said that as long as Pugachev was put on the plane, Andrey would have no chance.

The other party still nodded, and then, in the eyes of everyone, stepped onto the gangway of the plane.

Somehow, Simonov always felt that something was wrong, and watching this Su-27 with the help of ground crew, start the engine and reach the take-off position, Simonov suddenly remembered.

Damn it! Wherever there is a helmet on the ground! Pilots generally carry helmets and wear helmets when they get on the plane! And now, the other party is clearly afraid that he will recognize him, not only put on a helmet, but also put down his goggles!

I didn't think of it just now!

At this moment, some people were already cheering, and on the runway, the Su-27 fighter was turning on the afterburner and taking off quickly.

Sitting in the cockpit, Andrei stabilized his breathing.

Of course, he knew about the pilot's duty room, and when he saw Pugachev, who was about to come out with his helmet, Andrei said, I order you, change your clothes to me.

The official level crushed people to death, and Andrei quickly put on the flight suit, because he was afraid that others would stop him, he also put on a helmet, and he didn't even say anything to Simonov, for fear of being exposed, and when the fighter plane slid away, finally no one could stop him.

Why? Andrei can't say it, over the past few years, he has flown many models, but what he misses the most is still the Su-27! Now, with the opportunity to fly the Su-27, Andrei can no longer control his mood, he can't wait.

As for flight safety? There is no need to worry, Andrei believes that he has absolutely more experience in flying the Su-27 than Pugachev. (To be continued.) )
