One side is attacking with all its might, the other side is intercepting on a large scale, and the battle in the clear sky is both tense and fierce, and every fighter plane on both sides is not fighting alone at this time, but embedding a whole set of confrontation systems like a module with precise operation.

When the actions of each fighter no longer rely on the observation and judgment of a single pilot, but on the unified dispatch of the command center, the evolution of the air combat situation will become more and more complex, and eventually approach the complexity limit of a certain all-round game. Under such operational conditions, the most important factor in determining the outcome of the contest between the two sides is no longer the performance of the weapon system, or even the number of combat platforms, but the situational game between the two, to see who can be superior in skill and launch a thunderous and deadly attack at the right time and occasion.

Sitting in the cockpit of the Su-27M2 that glided lightly, Long Yun put his hands on the joystick and looked at the vast white ground under his feet.

Yes, for this training camp of the Red Air Force, Viktor Rezenov was able to gain from it, and it was not these precious ideas and concepts?

As a super combat hero of the Soviet Empire, the number one trump card in this war, in the secret training camp at the Irkutsk airbase, Long Yunbiao, who took off the plane, was naturally good, but he did not exert a trace of suffocating combat power, and the results in the simulated confrontation were not very top-notch.

The emergence of such a situation, not only Long Yun himself knew it, but all the pilots who participated in the training camp were actually very clear. Lieutenant General of the Aviation Forces of Viktor Rezenov. This super air killer with a cumulative number of more than 150 downs. His strength is absolutely beyond imagination, and now, maybe he is just concentrating on the study of tactical tactics, or a "little pastime" after fighting, all in all, it is obviously a reserved low-key.

Otherwise, in the name of the "Caucasian Reaper", even the Su-27M, which was added halfway and piloted not very skillfully. Wouldn't it be strange if we weren't able to achieve a ratio of more than 1:10 in the confrontation exercise?

Long Yun smiled kindly at the speculation of his comrades-in-arms, he knew that he was actually figuring out tactics, and at this time, it was meaningless to pursue a simple confrontation exchange ratio.

The secret training at the Irkutsk base basically ended a few days later, and the elite soldiers and strong generals from various combat units, command organs, and engineering and technical departments of the Red Air Force completed training and exchanges one after another, leaving the snow-covered shores of Lake Baikal and, like dandelion seeds in midsummer, spread the Red Air Force's brand-new combat ideas to every front-line combat unit of the VVS. All the foreshadowing for the next stage of the Far Eastern campaign.

The comrades-in-arms left one after another, but Long Yun, who joined halfway, stayed in the base. The changing situation in the Far East will not affect his actions for the time being, and while the Red Empire is preparing to compete with the enemy in the East, Viktor Rezenov's daily work is to cooperate with Koneshev and others to test the new fighter, on the one hand, to complete the project smoothly, and on the other hand, to prepare for the next Su-27M2.

Piloting the new Sukhoi fighter plane straight into the blue sky, Long Yun is now playing the role of not an ordinary test pilot, these tasks have basically been completed, and his next flight is much less risky; What he has to do now is mainly to test the effectiveness of the TVC system of fighters.

After a few flights, Long Yun concluded that this system was indeed helpful for improving maneuverability, but at the same time, it also found many problems; Based on the analysis of real-world knowledge background, he soon found that the Sukhoi Design Bureau's understanding of vector thrust control is still in place, but the actual design of the control system is not ideal, limited by the processing power of the airborne flight control system, thrust control under various flight attitudes, limited by the operating speed of the computer, and it is not yet possible to automatically adjust the thrust vector "flying fire thrust integration".

Without an integrated design, such a thrust vector fighter, the situation is probably similar to the F-15S/MTD encountered before, and it is true that it has TVC capabilities, but how to play it requires the pilots to do it cheaply.

Without the ability to control the automatic, or simply brutal TVC, it will undoubtedly greatly increase the combat pressure of the pilot, and in the life-and-death combat air combat, if you have to be distracted to consider the specific control of the thrust, there is no doubt that it will only make the battle more difficult and not the other way around. For this reason, the Sukhoi Bureau adopted a simple follow-up vector control zhì on the Su-27M2, and the tail nozzle that can be deflected vertically is actually linked with the flat tail, this design is still relatively primitive in principle, and it also makes Long Yun feel a little confused.

As a cross-over pilot who knew something about Soviet research on TVC, he was not surprised by the simplified design of the Sukhoi Bureau.

After all, at the time node of the nineties, even if the thrust vector research is relatively mature in the United States, the corresponding F-22 has not really been put into service, about the complete integration of vector thrust and flight control system, which requires a lot of test flight work, or simulation on a mainframe computer, the current Soviet Union has not yet done this step, the so-called "thrust vector control zhì", for the time being, is just such a primary state.

Once this was clear, while continuing to test the Su-27M2, Long Yun approached Sergei Koneshev to discuss whether it was possible to simply remove the thrust vector control mechanism on the two prototypes.

For Viktor's construction, Koneshev was originally a little surprised.

However, since the two prototypes at hand had to be provided to VVS, as the actual user of the M2 aircraft, the words of Comrade Lieutenant General naturally carried a lot of weight, so the designer agreed to such a change, and by the way, he also told him that the AL-31F-M2 on the two planes could not be easily disassembled from the TVC module; As for this engine that has been deeply improved on the basis of the AL-31F, if the life is relaxed to a level similar to that of the prototype, and the life of the vector nozzle is no longer considered, then the afterburner thrust of the pure M2 engine can reach the level of 14 tons.

"Ah, is that so?

Well, Comrade Koneshev, about the reissue of the two planes, I please. ”

Hearing the designer say that "the non-TVC version of the AL-31F-M2 can have a thrust of up to fourteen tons", it completely corresponded to the AL-31F-M2 in the real world, Long Yun read some explanatory materials with great interest, plus Koneshev's explanation, and figured out what the engines provided by the Soviet aviation industry were.

In this bizarre parallel world, since the Soviet Union still exists, and the military industry of the Red Empire is developing step by step year after year, the "Saturn" industrial complex, which is responsible for the production of AL-31 series engines, has not been divided, and the so-called "117S" is naturally missing; The M-series engines developed by the "Salyut" engine plant, which was originally a subsidiary of the consortium, have become the main part of the "Saturn" industrial complex in the parallel world.

Among them, the AL-31M, that is, the AL-31F-M1, is only a product of the wartime system, which still achieves 12.8 tons of afterburner thrust and 900 hours of operating life while reducing the manufacturing man-hours and production costs by 15 percent. In contrast, the AL-31F-M2 is a formal development in the roadmap of the "Saturn" consortium, with a redesigned low-pressure compressor, combustion chamber loop, and a management control system similar to FADEC (Full_Authority_Digital_Electronic_Control, full authority digital electronic control), although there are still some problems to be solved, but if life extension and TVC are not considered, afterburner thrust of 14 tons is no problem.

In this case, looking at the information of the M2 thrust vector type, the weight of the engine after the TVC has not increased much, but once it is assembled on the Su-27M2, the problem becomes more complicated, Long Yun pointed and poked at the material, and confirmed with Koneshev that the rear body resistance of the M2 fighter will be affected by the engine diameter, so he is even more sure of the idea of replacing the ordinary AL-31F-M2.

For a super ace like Viktor Rezenov, as long as the manufacturer can ensure production capacity, engine life or something is not a problem at all, and TVC with flat tail follow-up is even more dispensable.

After determining the choice of engine, the ambitious young man proposed to the design bureau that a larger space be reserved for the M2 fighter's gun, which should be able to carry 300 shells, and basically determined the sky mount to be used next; In addition, considering that he will probably still enter the fighter aviation regiment to fight, the Su-27P42 that he was attached to when he left the front line should still be there, so that he will have three available fighters at hand.

Of course, taking into account the battlefield environment in the Far East, the Su-27P42, which has no radar installed at all and has almost dismantled electronic equipment, is probably not suitable, and can only be used as an emergency backup means for the time being.

With the new and improved fighter in hand, in the next few days, Long Yun waited for the orders from above and changed the fighters of Koneshev's group, and at the same time flew guò to recover his state and sharpen his skills, preparing to play the powerful deterrent power of the number one trump card in the upcoming war in the east.

Preparing for war in the snow-covered interior of Siberia, the development of the war did not make him wait long. (To be continued......)
