Chapter 1202 - A Farewell Ride
"Worried about the change in the shape of South Korea," the United States government has said something along the lines of the United States government.
However, for the US military, which has always liked to cause trouble and is not interested in geopolitical affairs, the reason why it can abide by the red line drawn by Washington and not use military bases in South Korea to support air strikes is not so much a strategic choice to take the initiative to restrain itself as a helpless move in the face of a tough opponent.
In this naval and air contest in the Far East, although the U.S. Army invested a large number of troops, plus all the forces of the two followers of Japan and South Korea to contend with Russia, until now, the United States side is still at a disadvantage; In the absence of a decisive battle on land between the two sides, the US military, which is invincible in the world in terms of naval and air strength, has not been able to gain control of the battlefield, not to mention the frequent appearance of the terrifying sky killer of the "Scythe" to stir up the situation, and the commanders of the Pacific Command are not only angry but also have some things to do, and naturally they are not even very energetic about the plan of rashly using the US military base stationed in South Korea to expand the flames of war and even risk the outbreak of a major war on the Korean Peninsula.
To put it bluntly, further lengthening the front when the war is raging is the patent of the superior side, and the Russians' war in the Far East is the embodiment of this strategic principle.
No, of course not, this assumption is a completely stupid choice!
With the relentless crushing of the wheels of war, cracks began to appear in the enemy's camp, and on the other side of the vast sea, Viktor Rezenov's war journey was a different story.
After the intense battle, he coped with the first thing. It is the engine surge problem of the landline.
Just after the first participation in the battle in the southern skies. Long Yun's white No. 20 Su-27M2 has made a great contribution. In the end, he landed on the runway of the field base on the west side of Ternyyi, but a dangerous air encounter during the battle made him feel uneasy.
Think about the situation at that time, if the fighter really lost power on one side, there were a large number of air fighters in the sky, even if he used his superpowers, he might not be able to get out of the encirclement, let alone accelerate away from the pursuers behind; As for the abnormal engine surge and working condition, after the fighter landed, the engineers sent by IAPO were invited to study it together, and the engineers listened to Long Yun's description. The device was used to read the record of the flight number of the White Twentie, and the next day he came to the conclusion that Lieutenant General Viktor Rezenov's judgment was basically correct.
The engine does not match the fighter air intake, and it is a bit unexpected to appear on the Su-27 series fighter body, but for the M2 aircraft with a new design and redesigned air intake for the installation of a larger thrust engine, there will be no problem in normal flight conditions, as for the danger that Long Yun encountered at that time, it was due to the sudden increase in engine fuel injection while the angle of attack was too large and the large sideslip was large, and the oil that poured into the combustion chamber was too much at once, and the working state of the core engine changed abruptly. In addition, surge occurs due to the strong change of intake turbulence.
This is roughly the case, and the specific quantitative analysis will not be able to be done for a while. But all in all, it is easy to avoid this situation, and after the technical personnel reported to the comrade lieutenant general, they proposed a new code to the flight control system of the M2 aircraft to temporarily block this flight attitude.
Long Yun, who is not an expert in this aspect, nodded as to the construction of technical personnel:
"Oh...... It should be possible, it is a good way to prohibit entering this state directly in the flight controller, after all, this kind of posture rarely appears in combat and will not affect combat effectiveness.
However, I have another question, if the situation really requires this flight attitude, I don't add more engine thrust - oh, well, of course it can't be, then the altitude drops really badly, I mean, this attitude limit is the same as the angle of attack limit, I can manually select it, I can turn it off if necessary, right? ”
"Yes, Comrade General!
If necessary, you can easily make a similar action by turning off the 'Flight Control Command Correction' on the panel. ”
"That's good, haha! Please set it up quickly, otherwise it will always be a hidden danger. ”
After some discussion and research, and figuring out the cause of the abnormal engine operation, Long Yun left the temporary hangar for overhauling the White Twenty and went to another hangar to check.
In the 239th Fighter Aviation Regiment, or the entire 210th Aviation Division, several forward bases are stationed, in order to support the needs of Comrade Viktor Rezenov's operations, the 10th Air Force provides very good station support conditions, although the scale cannot be compared with other aviation divisions, or even aviation regiments, the 239th Regiment has a total of less than 10 aircraft, but the vehicles, equipment and personnel supporting the Su-27 and MiG-29 series fighters in the base are very neat, and they can not only complete the support work of Sukhoi fighters. A number of personnel sent from the MiG Design Bureau were also busy at the nearby base, waiting on the two MiG-29N fighters, which had undergone a complete refit and required occasional maintenance of the absorbing coating.
In addition to the MiG-29N, the 239 regiment was recently replenished with fighters, including another old friend and old car of Viktor Rezenov.
"White No. 20", the Su-27S that first adopted this livery scheme, Long Yun previously requisitioned a heavy fighter from the 224th Fighter Aviation Regiment during the Black Sea War, and later lost weight twice according to his instructions, and also gave a new number of "Su-27P42" on his own initiative.
Sending fighter planes from thousands of miles away is a kind of support for the "Grim Reaper", but for Long Yun, he came to the hangar to meet his old friends.
Speaking of which, a lightweight-reduced version of the Su-27S without radar, even in the 239th Regiment composed of elite pilots, except for Viktor Rezenov, others probably can't use it skillfully, right?
Based on this consideration, the Su-27P42 is still the most suitable for him to be controlled by Long Yun.
But on the other hand, there is the M2 for comparison, and now it seems that this aircraft is ...... It's still a little too heavy overall.
He personally planned the two rounds of weight reduction plans for the Su-27S fighter, streamlining this twin-engine heavy fighter with a huge size and an empty weight of 16.8 tons, and the Su-27P42, which has not changed much in appearance but has some less structure, and the use of empty weight is reduced to an almost incredible 14.6 tons; This figure is very advantageous compared to the Su-27S/P and even the Su-27M, but compared with the 15.6 tons of the M2 type, the advantage is not outstanding at all.
Not only that, compared with the P42 type, the smaller size of the former is a ton heavier than the latter, but it is installed with N011 radar and fire control system, and the strengthened body structure has completely eliminated the "transonic trap", the air intake grille, parachute and air refueling system are a lot, and it is of little significance to simply compare the use of empty weight between the two.
In addition, the engines of the two fighters are also different, and the thrust and installed weight of the AL-31F-M2 are higher than those of the AL-31F.
The thrust-to-weight ratio is higher, and at the same time, there is also a complete set of perfect fire control systems, which can carry out various combat missions from BVR to WVR, and with such a secret weapon as the Su-27M2 at hand, Long Yun will certainly not fly the Su-27P42 to attack lightly, not to mention the Far East, where there are frequent battles at sea and are conducive to the use of radar by fighters, the P42 type with the radar removed has obvious disadvantages, and it is not a wise move to directly enter the combat without over-the-horizon.
Based on these considerations, after inspecting the white No. 20 Su-27P42 with the mechanic for long-distance transfer, Long Yun delivered the fighter to the regiment as a reserve aircraft to be temporarily mothballed.
Regarding the arrangement of the White No. 20 Su-27P42, although Long Yun felt that just like the perfect ending of a battlefield veteran, the best destination for a fighter should be the vast sky of fire and smoke, rather than a dusty combat readiness hangar, but when receiving the aircraft, the subordinate agencies of the National Defense Commission also sent an application letter, preparing to collect this VVS number one ace landline at an "appropriate time", and display it with the red No. 13 MiG-29 that had just begun to be prepared. The World War Memorial Hall, which was to be built after the war.
Long Yun was still a little embarrassed by this request, but he was relieved when he thought about it.
No, unlike in the real world, he's active here as Viktor Rezenov, a super air killer who has crossed the 200 mark.
"The cumulative record of 203 aircraft", such an achievement, far more than the Soviet Union's number one ace pilot Ivan Nikitovich Kozhdub during World War II, the war is not over yet, but the name of "Caucasian Reaper" has been famous all over the world, and the landline of such a legendary figure is displayed in memorials and museums, not only to let people remember the heroes, but also to record this magnificent period of war history.
Cannibalistic wars are naturally a tragedy for all mankind, but looking at the long river of history, how can it not be a profound memory full of faith and courage, sacrifice and conviction?
War itself is destined to be cruel, but it often reflects the spiritual brilliance of a country and a nation, and perhaps this is the other side of it, although for the dead on both sides of the battlefield with blood, they will never wait for the day when the war finally turns into history and the coffin is closed to determine the merits and demerits.
