The problem of the mounting of the missile is indeed a bit of a headache for both of them.

However, the R-27 series missile, which has four small stable wings in the front of the body, four large inverted triangular rudder surfaces in the middle, and an exaggerated four-piece skirt-like tail in the tail, is the main over-the-horizon weapon of the Su-27 at present, and it is not possible to use it if you want to.

Therefore, in the discussion, he and Kamenev both felt that if they want to give full play to the advantages of the Su-27S's large bomb load and long range, it is necessary to further increase the cruising altitude, increase the speed in thinner atmospheric conditions at high altitudes, and launch missiles downward to intercept NATO fighters, so that the R-27 missile, which has a rather perverted aerodynamic layout, can increase the range and increase the engagement distance as much as possible.

“…… You're right, of course. However, flying to such an altitude, our N001 radar has limited downward vision, and it is useless not to see enemy aircraft. ”

Hearing Long Yun's construction, Kamenev muttered a few words in a bit of difficulty, which made Long Yun a little helpless.

As ace pilots, both of them are well aware of the actual performance of the N001 pulse Doppler radar, and the ability to filter clutter can only be said to be average, if it is overlooking from a high altitude, it is difficult to distinguish the low-altitude invading enemy aircraft from the chaotic echo of ground objects.

Modern fighters mainly use missiles in air confrontation, but missiles also require pilots to use fire control systems to indicate the direction of the target in order to lock on to the target before or after launch. In other words, "you can only hit when you can see it, and even if you see it, you may not be able to hit it": If you can't even intercept enemy planes, then no matter how long the range of missiles is, it will be useless.

Although the final agreed result is a specific arrangement, such as high-altitude interception can be attempted on water surfaces and flat terrain with less ground echo interference, such an approach can only be said to be better than nothing.

"It seems that what you said about valuing martial arts is not unreasonable. R-27 missile...... I've shot down six enemy planes so far, but I've used up close to fifty, which is quite a waste. ”

Listen to him, that is, like throwing a gun, planting a wide range of crops and harvesting to hit the enemy?

Kamenev's words seemed to be still in his ears, Long Yun reached out and stroked the full seeker radome of the R-27R missile in front of him, and his evaluation of this missile was probably unsatisfactory. The weapon combination of N001 and R-27 can be said to be not backward in performance, but compared with the dazzling and powerful air-to-air missiles in the real world, the "cross axe" in front of you is simply as outdated and outdated as a rocket.

- Hey, it would be nice to get a new radar for the Su-27, at least a digital processor, a flat slit antenna, and a cross-linked fire control system!

I don't know when such improvements will come in this parallel world; Or not to mention the radar, even a couple of R-77s with active radar guidance; However, thinking that in this parallel world, he has never been attacked by an active radar-guided missile, Long Yun feels that if the American AIM-120 has not been put into actual combat, then the Soviet R-77 has no hope to be counted on.

Thinking of this, a bold idea suddenly poured into Long Yun's mind.

Long Yun is familiar with the R-77 missile, which has low resistance, a maximum range of 70 kilometers, and active radar guidance, and its performance can be said to be quite excellent. Even if in this parallel world, the Soviet Union's technological level has not yet come up with the R-77, can he try to cheat and find a way to give birth to this missile?

With the performance of the R-77, fighting against the existing enemies in this parallel world can be said to be a complete killing weapon!

But the idea appears and disappears quickly; Long Yun thought about it and felt that it was very difficult to implement.

Not to mention anything else, he had previously provided the Soviet military scientific research department with drawings of jammers for jamming semi-active radar-guided missiles, and later met Colonel Andrei of the "pennant" in Moscow, but until now he has not made this thing.

It is so troublesome to build a jammer, and it seems even more unrealistic to say that the development of an active radar-guided missile that requires a small radar embedded in the head of the missile!

There is no way, it seems that this idea can only be put on hold for the time being: for the time being, we can only use the existing combination of fighters and weapons to maximize their combat effectiveness.

……

That night, tossing and turning on the iron tube bed in the dormitory, Long Yun's thinking became a little chaotic.

He hadn't fallen asleep for a long time, and he thought for a moment of yesterday's fierce battle, and for a moment of that strange Belenko; The Red Seventeen, which had landed on the deposit, Valentina's face, and the slender R-77 missiles appeared in front of him one by one, and the complicated ideas made him think a little dizzy.

Recalling the battle report he had seen at the regimental headquarters, Long Yun thought about the recent battle again.

As he had anticipated, after the baptism of the Red Stream, the European theater was now locked in a massive aerial standoff over the English Channel.

In rugged southeastern Europe, the Warsaw Pact had occupied most of Greece, cooperated with the Greek Communist Party to form a provisional government, and declared the NATO-backed Greek government illegal; It seems that it is only a matter of time before the Warsaw Pact army continues to attack western Turkey and seize control of the western side of the Bosphorus.

And in the Caucasus, where a major war should not have broken out in the first place, NATO's air offensives are very active and increasingly frequent; Although no one can see what the strategic intention of this is, in any case, the grim reality that NATO continues to increase its troops in various parts of Turkey and northern Iraq, sharpening its knives and preparing for an offensive, has made Long Yun realize that he and the 237th Regiment will face an even more sinister shape in the future.

NATO's air pressure, the threat of spies in the shadows, and the mysteries that seem like fog; To say that Long Yun's thinking will not become a mess because of this, I am afraid it is also impossible.

But after a while, Long Yun gradually cleared up his thoughts.

Putting aside those irrelevant details, he realized that his current dual experience is actually very simple: whether it is time travel or reality, as long as he fights again and again, game by game, he may be able to gradually get closer to the truth of the matter and solve the core problem that he has been puzzled about.

――It's his bizarre time-traveling experience, what is it all about?

The so-called "boat to the bridge is naturally straight", rather than the headache of thinking like this, it is better to face the current life; With such considerations, Long Yun calmed down and fell asleep, and at the same time vaguely thought of a thought:

Probably, it's time to get back to reality and continue the race.
