Chapter 585: The Great Fool
Su-35! In later generations, this number has opened the eyes of many military fans, because the Su-27 has been developed until this model, and finally matured! And the Russian media is also constantly shouting, saying how many Su-35s Huaxia has ordered from Russia, in fact, it is just preaching, in a vain attempt to let the Su-35 take over the Su-27 class, but unfortunately, Huaxia, which has been on the job for so many years, will not continue to suffer in this regard, and it is true to develop it on its own, and it is true that it has developed it in later generations, and the difference between Huaxia's aviation technology and Russia is only in terms of engines, and in other places, Huaxia is even stronger, so at most, I like the Su-35 engine. And will not invest huge sums of money in the purchase of Su-35 complete aircraft.
And that was the Su-35 of later generations, which is different from the current Su-35. Only veteran military fans know that before the appearance of the Su-35 in later generations, Sukhoi used the number of Su-35 for his fighter, which is the current Su-27M, and the later Su-35 is the model of the Su-27BM, B stands for improved, and M means multi-functional.
However, the Su-27 in front of him, although it is a three-winged monster, coupled with a new thrust vector engine, will definitely be better in close combat, and Mhammad also guessed what these Soviets meant, in order to obtain a contract from Huaxia, it can be regarded as using blood, and even this perverted improved model has been given to Huaxia.
And the Soviets, will they be overshadowed, for example, now they are performing the latest models, and when they are given, they will be backward models? Or at most a body, engine or something, or do you have to import the Soviets?
Mhammad pondered in his mind as he walked towards the front. "We want to see the radar of this fighter," he said. ”
On the way here, what Mhammad wanted to see most was the radar, and now, attracted by the three-wing surface, the tail vertebrae and the engine, forgot to look at the nose for the time being.
"Our fighter plane. Radars made by the most advanced technology in the Soviet Union are used. "This all-weather digital multifunctional airborne radar uses phased array technology, which not only has air surveillance capabilities, but also ground surveillance capabilities, supporting terrain mapping, search and tracking of ground moving targets, and terrain avoidance, etc., completely surpassing the airborne radar on American F-15 fighters," the Soviet engineer said proudly. ”
As he spoke, a Soviet ground crew member turned on the nose of the plane, revealing a large circular radar antenna. There are no protrusions on the top, and small cylinders can be seen on the surface.
Phased array radar! Even Mhammad didn't expect that the Soviets were really fighting, and even this thing could be loaded on the Su-27?
The Soviets were the first country to put phased array radar on fighters, and the first carrier aircraft was the MiG-31, which gave the MiG-31 a powerful interception capability, with a search range of 200 kilometers for fighter targets, and could simultaneously track 10 targets and attack 4 of the most threatening ones. This radar has a strong downward view capability. It can intercept cruise missiles at low altitudes, and can also be used as a long-range airborne early warning radar. The backward airborne radar of the Soviets. Only on this can I regain my self-esteem.
Moreover, previous fighters usually used sideways to defeat the locking of the pulse-Doppler radar, which was ineffective in the face of phased array radars. Therefore, in later generations, airborne phased array radar has received more and more attention.
However, there is a downside to this radar. It's just quite expensive! Even the Soviet Union, which did not understand cost accounting at all, used this radar only on interceptors.
The main airborne phased array radars developed by various countries in later generations are almost all solid-state active phased array radars, and now the technology of the Soviets is still stuck in passive phased array radars. Even so, this radar is perverted enough.
If it were possible, Mhammad would really like to move back to the domestic Tomcat fighters. After all, airborne radar is constantly evolving, and its final form is phased array radar!
Pakistan still has a lot of roads to go, and the heritage of the old power is profound.
"Our forward-looking and rear-looking radars can be displayed on the display screen in the cockpit." The Soviets continued: "In the cockpit of our fighter plane, there are already two large display screens. ”
It seems that the Soviets have made a lot of progress in electronic systems in recent years, and Mhammad can't help but feel a little emotional.
Pedaling on the ladder, Mhammad also looked at the cockpit inside with great interest, and sure enough, two large LCD screens, it seems that the Soviets also knew about the integration of avionics. You must know that a single instrument, that is, each display its own, does not affect each other, and this kind of LCD screen display, that is the result of integration.
However, when Mhammad fixed his eyes and looked again, he found that the lower right corner of the LCD screen inside seemed to be printed with a logo, not pasted, but a sign that directly existed on the outer glass of the LCD panel, which was not in Russian, but in French letters!
Suddenly, Mhammad reacted, this plane, a lot of advanced electronic equipment in it, I'm afraid it was imported from the West, right? Especially France, which is not a NATO country, is okay to sell some electronic equipment to the USSR. This plane is getting it now, purely to fool Huaxia!
The Su-27M in history played such a role, at that time it had become the Sukhoi Design Bureau in Russia, introducing a large number of Western technology and finished equipment, and installing them on the Su-27M to improve the level of avionics, but because the time was too early, the performance improvement was limited, and a large number of equipment, functions and performance indicators were in the unfinished verification or even paper stage. So, this thing is actually a verification machine, and the Russians are selling it around, and as a result, even the Indians are not fooled.
Now the Soviets have also learned well, in order to receive orders from China, it can be said that they have spared no effort, Mhammad has begun to despise this when he thinks of this, isn't this fooling people to come? Where's Uncle Benshan? Fool these guys into a cripple!
However, the high-level leaders of the Chinese side were really tempted, and the tall phased array radar completely conquered them, and the cockpit inside was advanced enough, at least it was already a grade with the J-10, which showed that the Soviets had made significant progress in electronic technology.
"Our fighter, with an advanced airframe, first-class avionics, high-thrust engines, is the pinnacle of military aircraft in the world, and now, we will conduct an air show, and many maneuvers in this performance can only be done by our fighters." This was stated by the representative of the Soviet side, engineer B-K. Golishin.
The electronics are copied, the phased array radar comes from an improved model of the MiG-31, but the fighter's body, pneumatics and engines are all real things made by the Soviets themselves, especially the engine, with a thrust vector nozzle, the maneuverability must be better, Mhammad looked at the vertical tail of this fighter, and the number behind it is 711, as if this number is very familiar? It's been too long, and Mhammad can't remember it.
"This fighter must be very expensive, right?" Mhammad asked.
The topic of price is the most sensitive, it is said that the Su-27 contract that year was a group of people from the military who went to the Russians to drink, put them all down, convinced the Russians, and agreed to sign an agreement at the price of the Chinese side.
"Yes, the cost of this plane is about 50 million rubles." Gorishen said: "However, if the Huaxia side feels that the price is too high, they can reduce the requirements of the equipment above, and the price will come down." ”
Sure enough, as Mhammad thought, he first used this plane to fool Huaxia, and then when it was time to negotiate the introduction, Huaxia was too expensive, so it would need to replace some parts, and it would definitely be cheaper.
Mhammad couldn't help but laugh in his heart, these Soviets still want to fool the Chinese, it is simply impossible, the Chinese are the most shrewd.
They all moved to a lookout on the side of the tarmac, and through the binoculars, Mhammad could see a tall Soviet pilot, walking towards the plane.
"This flight show was performed by our meritorious test pilot, Ishakov, who was able to fully exploit the flight performance of this aircraft." Gorisin said: "Please enjoy our air show. ”
Ishakov, one of the important test pilots within Sukhoi, has been in contact with this aircraft almost since the beginning of the T-10 project, flying thousands of hours, and now, flying this improved Su-27 fighter, it is even more familiar.
He strode into the cockpit, closed the hatch, turned on the switches, and there was a roar from the tail, and the two AL-37FU engines had been successfully ignited.
This engine, which is improved on the basis of the AL-31, has greater thrust, with an afterburner thrust of up to 145 kN, which is almost 20 percent higher than the prototype AL-31, and the tail nozzle can also be steered, and by controlling the direction of the tail nozzle, more maneuvering actions can be made.
He is very familiar with this plane, and this flight show will definitely surprise these Chinese people!
Gliding, aiming at the runway, Ishakov turned on the afterburner, the throttle was fully open, and the fighter slid quickly on the runway.
Relying on these two high-thrust engines, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the whole aircraft has long exceeded 1, Ishakov pulled the operating lever back, and at the same time, the tail nozzle also deviated upward, and the fighter was immediately pried up from the nose and flew into the sky with its head held high.
