The jammer, which is still in the testing stage, has a fairly high level of secrecy for filing with the KGB.

Unlike the intelligence services of other countries, the KGB organization in the Soviet Union had a number of general directorates, which were responsible for a much wider range of aspects than their Western counterparts, including the Sixth Bureau, which was responsible for the secrecy of various military scientific and technological research institutions.

After receiving the project report of the "pennant" design bureau, after careful evaluation and the convening of an expert seminar, the working group of the sixth bureau of the KGB agreed with the opinion of the design bureau, that is, the test and subsequent improvement of the "deception missile jammer" device cannot be done behind closed doors, but needs to be tempered and tested in the actual combat environment.

However, this kind of thing is easy to say, but difficult to do.

Although it is said that the great war between the East and the West is now in full swing, it seems that there is no shortage of actual combat environment for confrontation with Western fighters; However, in consideration of the need for secrecy work, the jamming aircraft itself must not suffer losses in combat, nor can it be accidentally or even intentionally lost outside the national border by the pilots.

All things considered, Colonel Ushakov, who was present at the meeting, thought of Viktor Rezenov and proposed the construction of the equipment with the participation of this ace pilot.

Of course, for Viktor himself, Andrei had only met him once in Moscow recently, and he did not know his subsequent whereabouts; Therefore, the KGB was in charge of the whole thing, and for this reason they specially sent agents who were proficient in electronic technology, and together with the experts of the design bureau, escorted the jammer and the necessary equipment to the Caucasus, thousands of miles away, and then transferred to a car, and met with Long Yun at the station of the 237th Fighter Aviation Regiment.

Even now, the KrAZ-6322 truck docked at the base already has two deceptive jamming pods that interfere with semi-active radar-guided missiles, and the parameters and radio frequency patterns are specifically aimed at the AIM-7F/M/P medium-range missiles widely used by NATO, which can be installed now and quickly put into combat tests.

However, the so-called actual combat only refers to the fact that it can be provided to Longyun to verify its usability in air combat, not that its design has matured.

The two jammers delivered this time, as highly classified electronic countermeasure equipment, can be predicted to be cracked and lose their effectiveness sooner or later if they are really mass-produced and intercepted by NATO during the war. Not to mention that this kind of component is the best of the best, some modules are still prototypes of single-piece production, and there are only one or two test products, and there is no possibility of large-scale production at present.

It is precisely because of this that the KGB, after learning of the progress of the work on the "pennant", also agreed with Andrei's opinion, believing that this jammer has no possibility of mass production for the time being, and that it is easy for the enemy to obtain and be countered, so it can only be secretly provided to the front-line troops for small-scale testing on the premise of ensuring the safety of the jammer.

As for testing such tasks, it certainly fell on the proposer of the scheme: Viktor Rezenov.

"So, these two jammers ...... Uh, jamming the pod, how the actual combat capability is still inconclusive? ”

"Frankly, so. The Americans' AIM-7 series of medium-range missiles, we have gotten some of them, and we have also read some of the parameters; However, if you want to say whether this jamming pod is really effective against missiles, you still need to go to the air to verify it, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel. ”

"Liftoff...... Verify it? ”

Well, if you want to say that you have just dragged out of the real yàn room and don't know if it will be good or not, you can take off into the air to attract the attacks of the Americans, and then try to tease the swarming "Sparrow" missiles - this kind of task that sounds like a pervert, probably only Long Yun can keep his mind calm after learning about it!

Of course, this kind of action is full of danger for ordinary pilots, but with Long Yun's combat capability, it is not a life-and-death adventure to put a few "sparrows" to test the jammer in the near future.

"Yes, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel! After all, the project was first proposed by you and you participated in the whole process; When it comes to this kind of secret test, you are also the most suitable person. ”

Hearing Kirilenko say this, and stretched out his finger to support the glasses on the bridge of his nose, Long Yun felt a little funny when he heard it: he only knew the principle of this jammer and provided the design drawings obtained from the real world, and he really didn't know anything about how the "pennant" was made.

However, since he said so, he just agreed to it:

"I dare not say that I participated in the whole process, I still know a little about it, and I have to ask for your support for the later tests."

"That's no problem! We are here this time to serve this thing, and it would be more secure if Comrade Lieutenant Colonel could serve as a tester. ”

Since he had obtained such important cutting-edge technology and equipment--of course, this is nothing in the real world, but in this parallel world, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is close to cheating black technology-Long Yun was very interested in this, and he even planned to call Kirilenko and a few KGB technicians to work in the hangar immediately after dinner; However, thinking that these people were all traveling and were quite tired now, he still pressed the idea of spying on the true appearance of the interference pod, and just asked Kirilenko for their final design drawings and some reference instructions, and planned to study them in the dormitory at night, and then go with them tomorrow morning to tinker with the installation of the machine.

Hearing Long Yun's request, Kirilenko opened the suitcase he was carrying, found a pile of printer paper and a 3.5-inch floppy disk from it and handed it to him, and told Long Yun to "pay attention to confidentiality", and then several people dispersed and left.

After sending the group to the accommodation arranged by the group, and returning to the dormitory to study the information for a while, Long Yun had a rough look at the design principle and internal structure of this jammer prototype.

If you want to say that the jammer's first impression of him is that the volume of this thing should be quite amazing, about the same as the ECM pod already equipped in the regiment!

The level of the electronics industry in the Soviet Union is also like this, and Long Yun has long known about it; However, he then found that the implementation of this jammer is quite complicated, and the overall set is still the analog signal amplification, phase shifting, and then feeding to the antenna. This design has quite high requirements for component parameters, and it is estimated that even if the test effect is good, there is no way to mass produce and apply it to the front line of combat on a large scale.

――It seems to be quite reliable, but what is the ability of this device?

There are still some expectations for this new equipment, Long Yun is still dreaming of air battles until he sleeps, and of course he can't remember whether there is a jammer in the dream.

……

Early the next morning, thinking about the jammer, Long Yun got up early.

After breakfast, he walked straight into the hangar where the Red Seventeen Su-27S was parked and now had a lot of electronic equipment, and Long Yun saw that the technician Vasily Kirilenko was already busy next to the fighter, but there was also a familiar ground crew pilot in the huge hangar, which made him feel strange at first.

- Last night I told him to come and keep it a secret; Why don't you shy away from people at all now?

Thinking of the previous experience of being ambushed on the road, Long Yun was not 100% at ease with the people in the group now; It's not that he's worried about some agents lurking, but that the news travels quickly from person to person.

If the people in the regiment knew that there was a jamming pod on his Red Seventeen, the news would probably spread quickly, and secrecy would become a joke.

Approaching the busy Kirilenko and taking the opportunity to help with the handle, Long Yun whispered a question to the man with glasses, but saw him smile and pointed to the ECM pod on the stand in front of him: "It's okay, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, you know this matter." ”

"Oh...... Is it? ”

Muttering quietly, Long Yun looked blankly at the electronic countermeasures pod on Kirilenko's finger, thinking to himself that his landline had never hung this thing, how could it appear here? Then he looked at it carefully for a moment, and then he saw the clue: the two dark gray cylindrical objects in front of him that looked exactly the same as the ECM pod should be the prototype of the jammer brought by Kirilenko and them.

Seeing this, Long Yun immediately understood what Kirilenko meant, and also received an affirmative answer.

"Well, that's it. The power supply required for this interference pod is quite staggering, and at the moment only the Su-27 and MiG-31 can bring it. So it was simply designed like this, also out of the consideration of versatility. -- So that we don't have to worry about being seen, but we take over the maintenance and everything: so now the identity of several of us is the new ground crew, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, what do you think of this? ”

"Uh...... Of course, it's okay to be so low-key. ”

Long Yun nodded again and again, thinking to himself if Kirilenko was a nerd type, why didn't he say such an arrangement yesterday? Hopefully he won't go wrong when he handles these electronic devices, but the people sent by Andre are generally not wrong.

Thinking like this, seeing that the pilots working next to the fighter plane had dismantled the wingtip missile launch slide of the Red No. 17 Su-27S and were ready to mount the jammer that looked like an ECM pod on the wingtip, Long Yun knew that he would inevitably take these two "cumbersome" into the air in the future.

The Su-27 series fighters are not too good for rolling, and now they have to be discounted a little, and now he can only secretly hope in his heart that these two jamming functions will really work.

But...... If the two jammers are hung up together, don't you need to keep a backup?

In case, just in case, if something goes wrong, wouldn't it be lost, and then how can the improvement be carried out later?

Kirilenko also immediately gave an answer to this question:

"Well, comrade lieutenant colonel, you see, there are two pods here, but one of them is just an empty shell, with a receiving antenna and counterweight. Now the installed system is a complete system, the jamming module is only in the pod on the left wingtip, and the receiving antenna on the right. ”
