Chapter 264 Experience Exchange Meeting
"Yes, I suspect it was the infiltrated spies who did it. Fortunately, there was no danger, and I still came back. β
I don't know if the KGB has reported the details of his attack and the appearance of hidden agents in the group (with the KGB's secrecy style, there should be none), Long Yun didn't say anything else, but remembered yesterday's bullets and bullets and the soldiers who died for him, and he was still a little heavy.
But heavily, expensive, and the next battle will continue, and now he needs to face the following problems:
Is there still an airplane in the regiment for him?
This problem seems to be not optimistic, Long Yun has already calculated an account for the regiment before: when he first came, there were still nineteen single-seat Su-27S available in the regiment, and later he lost one in the sortie, and now he threw one outside. That is, there are only seventeen, can he still have his share in such a tense situation?
"That, Comrade Regiment Commander: You see that I forced the fighter plane into the mining area the day before yesterday and couldn't get it back for a while, and now there is no fighter available for the time being."
"Oh, don't worry about that! Listening to your description, it is impossible to repair and take off on the spot over there, and arrange a few pilots in the group to see the situation, whether they can be disassembled on the spot, and then contact the heavy vehicle to tow it back. - Well done, Victor, even if one for three, this deal is quite a good deal! β
Hearing the regiment leader's praise, Long Yun nodded a little embarrassedly, in fact, he felt that this calculation was not accurate.
To say that one for three, the Su-27S, of course, will not be higher than the F-15 in manufacturing man-hours, and this exchange ratio is certainly very good; However, first, his Red 17th was only slightly injured and should be repaired, and second, the Americans probably lost two or three pilots, and the consumption of aircraft in wartime was easy to replenish, and it was difficult to make up for the loss of pilots.
"As for the plane," the regiment commander's next words fully reflected the importance that the regiment attached to the number one ace of the Red Air Force, "the matter of the Red Seventeen, let's throw it there first." These days, you're going to use the wingman's red sixteen first! - Don't worry about Konstantin, there is finally good news from above: the newly replenished Sukhoi fighters will arrive soon, and our regiment will be able to attack at full strength in a few days! β
"-Really! That's great. β
I don't know if the military production in the rear has been smoothly transferred to the wartime system, in short, Korolev will be able to get a new fighter plane immediately, which is of course a good thing he can't ask for, and Long Yun accepted this arrangement.
Knowing that the ace lieutenant colonel had turned around from the line of death before returning, Samsonov's regiment had coordinated the matter of the fighter plane, and hurriedly told him to go and have a good rest, and stuffed him with a bottle of gin by the way; Carrying the wine bottle out of the regiment headquarters, Long Yun was escorted by the political commissar without saying a few words to his comrades, and was taken directly back to the dormitory.
Didn't say this, even the head of the regiment, who has never supported drinking, made an exception?
After a difficult combat mission, it is not uncommon for pilots to drink alcohol to refresh their minds and relieve tension; However, no one in the 237th Regiment knew that Long Yun, who had been through a hundred battles, had already passed that stage, and now even after a terrible battle, his feelings would not be affected much.
Anyway, there was nothing to do, and he didn't sleep well at Valentina's house last night, so Long Yun simply made up for sleep in the dormitory, and then got up to go to lunch.
That afternoon, Long Yun, who came to the regimental headquarters combat conference room, saw that the room was almost full of people, and knew that there was no combat mission in the regiment today. Of course, he did not know at this time that the day before yesterday his own single sortie had taken the Americans' Eighth Air Wing by surprise, and the Wing, which had been heavily damaged, had not dared to carry out large-scale activities in the past two days, and the sortie pressure of the Soviet aviation regiments stationed in the Caucasus, including the 237th Fighter Aviation Regiment, had also been greatly reduced.
Facing everyone's adoring and expectant gazes, Long Yun said some opening remarks, and then told his combat experience straight to the point.
"Let's just say that the day before yesterday's sortie, after taking off, I maintained an altitude of 6,000 meters and a direction of 100, and met the enemy at a speed of 900 kilometers......."
While narrating, while gesturing with fighter models, Long Yun briefly explained the process of receiving the enemy according to the ground guidance, and then described in detail the close confrontation with several F-15Cs; When explaining, he deliberately glanced at Korolev, who was sitting on the side of the front row, a few more times, and found that this little man was concentrating on holding a notebook, obviously listening and recording and trying to seriously comprehend his combat techniques:
"After circling for half a circle, I staggered the tracks of the F-15 twin aircraft and formed a tail bite at an angle of 45 degrees, but at this time the distance was a bit far and did not meet the launch conditions of the R-73. ββOh, don't wait for the missile's seeker to lock on to the launch conditions, you know this very well, right? Even if it can be locked and launched when tail-chasing, it is often impossible to catch up with the enemy plane, which requires a comprehensive judgment based on the position and velocity vector of the enemy and the enemy, and it will be too slow to wait for the results of the fire control computer.
Just as I was about to continue to chase and increase the afterburner to shorten the distance to attack, the F-15 in front of me began to climb at a high elevation angle - it seemed to be a very good infrared target, but I noticed the activity of the F-15 wingman, which was actually a rather clumsy trap......"
In this way, sometimes using fighter models to demonstrate the situation of the enemy at that time, and sometimes tracing a few times on the blackboard, Long Yun described the situation at that time as detailed as possible, and explained his understanding of combat air combat through the actual combat examples he had just experienced, so that the pilots of the 237th Regiment could strengthen their understanding of visual combat through real combat examples.
Although Long Yun's narration was not very professional as a participant in the crossing, and he was not good at teaching activities, the pilots present listened very carefully, including Kamenev, who had questioned him before.
Well, of course, it's not surprising at all.
If there were any ordinary aviation school instructor or a top pilot of the training regiment standing in front of them now, they would not necessarily listen so seriously. After all, everyone is a pilot who has participated in actual combat, who can be much better than whom?
But today, if you want to say that the F-15, which just achieved three results in one fell swoop the day before yesterday and is still a strong one, such a number one ace to explain air combat tactics to them, the credibility and authority are of course beyond doubt. If nothing else, just talking about the practicality of these tactics and combat strategies, is there a better practical combat guidance than this?
ββIf you're not convinced, you can check it out yourself!
With such considerations, all the people present listened very carefully, and the commander of the regiment Samsonov had also mentioned at the regular meeting that the regiment should strengthen close combat drills, improve tactical tactics, and deal with the increasingly severe combat situation in the future, and now the content that Viktor told them is particularly valuable.
In the process of explaining, there were still people asking questions from time to time, and they didn't quite understand Long Yun's dazzling, no fancy movements, but quite sharp mobile combat methods, so Long Yun was very patient to answer them one by one.
"Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, when you faced four enemy planes, didn't you first consider the raid operation?"
"You're saying that after turning, you disengage at high speed, then maintain altitude, kill back with speed advantage, and wait for an opportunity to attack?"
"Yes, yes."
"Well, it depends on what type of aircraft you are dealing with, and the approach of the enemy aircraft at that time," Long Yun felt that this question was very meaningful, "If it is an American F-16 that is performing tasks such as ground attack and escort, then of course we can do this." But in the face of the F-15, frankly speaking, it is dangerous to adopt plundering tactics: the F-15 has a good acceleration interception performance, what if the enemy catches up?
And then there is another question, that is, after turning and disengaging, how to find the target?
I suffered such a loss in the battle the day before yesterday, I could not receive GCI guidance information, and I did not know the situation in the nearby airspace, and my eyes were black in the vast sky. Therefore, when engaging the enemy, if you don't use radar to keep an eye on the target in front of you, wait for you to turn and break away, and then turn around and kill back, the target will not only run away long ago, but may also wait for the opportunity to run to your rear to carry out a sneak attack. In short, do not panic when engaging the enemy, but have confidence in the fighting ability of the fighter, and choose the appropriate flight state to enter the visual air combat. β
Hearing this explanation, the pilot who asked the question nodded, then sat down and went about taking notes.
As for Long Yun, through guΓ²'s subconscious thinking, he also knows that many pilots here are not very good at how to play the maneuverability of the Su-27, which is also a legacy of the 237th regiment's continuous use of interceptors, so he further explained the key points of the confrontation between the two by comparing the F-15 in detail:
"We all know that it is important to distinguish the aircraft type of enemy aircraft in visual air combat: knowing the aircraft type of the opponent can take appropriate countermeasures in a targeted manner. Just like the F-15 this time, this fighter has a smaller wing load than the Su-27S, and the power is also abundant, so the main advantage is in vertical maneuverability; At this point, you can compare the flight envelope of the two types in detail.
Therefore, in an air combat confrontation, if we form a tail chase after the enemy aircraft, but the distance is relatively far away, and the conditions for missile launch are not met, we cannot blindly climb and catch up, but give full play to the horizontal maneuverability characteristics of the Su-27S, predict the maneuver tactics that the opponent may adopt after climbing, and do the corresponding place-occupying treatment. Specifically......
In this way, he made a comparison of the two heavy fighters, and then explained several countermeasures against the vertical maneuver of enemy aircraft in air combat; While explaining, Long Yun would leak out from time to time, revealing the characteristics and parameters of the fighter he had mastered in the real world.
Speaking of the rise, Long Yun only realized after a long speech that it was a bit risky for him to say this; If someone finds it strange and asks him where all these parameters come from?
This is a very difficult question to answer.
