“…… A new type of fighter? ”

Although he was completely unfamiliar with air combat, and couldn't imagine whether it was a tricky thing, Valentina could still tell from Victor's look that this information seemed to bother him quite a lot.

Hearing the girl's whispered question, Long Yun, who was sitting at the table, did not say anything immediately.

Recalling the few words of the regimental staff officer, especially the few words of the so-called "new type of fighter" in it, as a traverser from the future, what he is most worried about now is, of course, the strongest air weapon of the NATO bloc, or the Americans: the F-22 "Raptor" in the nineties of the last century.

In the real world where Long Yun is located, this fourth-generation stealth fighter, which has almost become a symbol of US air supremacy, was determined as early as 1991 that the YF-22 prototype of the "Lockheed Martin" company was the winner, but because of the abrupt end of the Cold War, the project progress was greatly delayed, and the F-22, which first flew in 1997, was not mass-produced until 2005, and truly met the IOC (Initial-Operational-Capability) that met the standards of the US Air Force. initial combat capability) state.

As the world's first practical fourth-generation stealth fighter, although there are still many flaws and technical problems, it is undeniable that the "Raptor" is indeed the strongest air force in that era.

Because of this, Long Yun is now particularly worried that in this parallel world with a somewhat abnormal trajectory, if the Americans have maintained the research and development progress of the ATF (Advanced-Tactic-Fighter) project due to the continuation of the Cold War, does that mean that the F-22 "Raptor" will be put into active service earlier? Will it even appear in the vast sky above the Black Sea?

Think about it and want to confront this epoch-making fighter. Even if it is already experienced in a hundred battles. Long Yun couldn't help but feel a kind of nervousness under pressure. However, he sat in place and did not move his nest, he quickly thought about it, made a simple reasoning, and immediately denied his bold speculation about the appearance of the "Bird of Prey".

As for that, why is this idea not reliable?

Long Yun's first thought was that Viktor Rezenov, as a senior officer of the Red Air Force, had a particularly close relationship with the KGB, and the omnipotent First General Directorate of the KGB must be paying close attention to the YF-22 project, and if there is any information, it will definitely be reported to VVS and PVO as soon as possible, and it is indispensable that it will be copied to him separately.

And other than that. With his skillful understanding of the technical characteristics and tactical tactics of stealth fighters, if the F-22 really haunts the Caucasus theater, I am afraid it will be as silent as an assassin in the dark night. In the face of the "Raptor" with its radar stealthy and without the slightest vigilance, the Soviet fighter planes that responded to the battle were probably locked by the "Slammer" missiles flying from nowhere, and how could they return unharmed again and again, and then submit a report saying that "a new type of US fighter has been discovered"?

Well, in this way, it is unlikely to be a "bird of prey" in short!

After some intense thinking, the conclusion was quite optimistic: the aviation technology of the Americans, although it is really world-class. But as long as it is not the cross-era F-22 "Raptor", what other new fighters. It is not a concern for him Long Yun and the pilots of the Red Air Force.

Other models are easy to say, as for the "Raptor"......

For the F-22 "Raptor", this piece of cloud that has long shrouded the eastern sky and is simply a lingering cloud, Long Yun's previous nervousness and awe are not out of cowardice, but a hidden worry that will only arise after a comprehensive understanding of air combat in the stealth era.

After all, as an insider in the field of aviation, it is completely different from the so-called "ignorant and fearless", and only by truly understanding the horror of radar stealth fighters can we put forward practical defensive and countermeasure measures from a strategic and tactical point of view, instead of blindly underestimating the enemy and talking about it like many IDs in the cyber world, or directly being intimidated by the enemy's technological superiority and losing confidence.

Thinking about this, he raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and Long Yunhui's usual expression said a few words to Valentina. As he spoke, he remembered that the girl had been in the base for many days, and that he didn't know where she had been, so he invited her to go with him to the hangar for a while:

"Ah, that's not a big deal, the Americans aren't good enough to build Gundam. ――Now that I'm free anyway, how about I take you to the base? ”

"Okay, but 'Gandham'...... What is it? ”

There is a saying that the speaker has no intention, and the listener has a heart, and the sensitivity of the intelligence officer allowed Valentina to capture a familiar word, but for a while she couldn't remember where she had heard it; Seeing the girl's expression of concentration and thought, Long Yun covered his mouth with regret, and then remembered that this word should also exist in parallel worlds, and the historical background of these two worlds was almost identical:

"'GUNDAM', a humanoid combat weapon from a Japanese cartoon, do you remember? Tsk, is this a weapon...... From a scientific point of view, it is probably the same as the 'YAMOTO' class battleships, which are just a pile of waste wood that looks quite majestic, but in fact violates the laws of science. ”

"'GUNDAM', a cartoon show? I haven't, haven't seen it......"

It was supposed to be a strict battle conversation, but it turned out to be a "cartoon", Valentina blinked her watery gray-black eyes, and felt that the comrade major general in front of her was really a bit unfathomable.

How does this Viktor Rezenov, how does he seem to know everything and not care too much about anything?

And seeing the beautiful girl's blank face, Long Yun remembered that he was now in the Soviet Union in the nineties of the twentieth century, so Valentina's youth should not have many traces of Western cartoons, she probably belongs to the generation that grew up watching famous Soviet animation works such as "The Snow Queen" and "The Battle of the Kerzhets River", right?

So he thought about it for a while, and then changed his way of saying that this beautiful and capable KGB agent may not have seen "Gundam", but he must have seen some of the other works:

"It's complicated to say, it's actually like 'Transformers', a steel fighter with a human form."

"Well, I get it! Of course, it is impossible for the Americans to have the kind of armed forces that can be turned into fighters and fly in the sky, which is too outrageous. ”

"That's right! -- That kind of thing, if it is really studied by the Americans,"

For a while, he almost forgot that he was now a major general of the Soviet Air Force, Long Yun suddenly had a bit of a joking leisure, his eyes lit up and he talked to Valentina, and he barely stopped talking along the way, "...... All in all, nothing to worry about. When the Americans have 'Transformers', I think we will soon have Star Destroyers! 'Our journey is a sea of stars', this sentence sounds really exciting, doesn't it? ”

"Vi, Victor, what do I think you ...... It's kind of like a child. ”

After getting along with Viktor for a while, the first time she saw this ace major general so energetic, Valentina looked up and down the man next to her very suspiciously, with a hint of banter in her tone, "If it weren't for this flight suit, if you were a children's playwright in a theater troupe in Moscow, I'm afraid I would have believed it, hehe~"

"Hehe, is that so?"

While talking, the two came to the path, Long Yun tilted his head and looked at Valentina beside him, probably because he felt that his words and deeds were not quite consistent with his identity, so he temporarily ended the topic.

In fact, he now wants to tell the young girl in front of him: "Our journey is the sea of stars", this sentence is no longer a casual talk of animated characters in the real world, but is engraved directly above the building hall of the Space Command of the Eastern Alliance of Nations, and has become the ultimate dream of generations of unswerving astronauts.

The starry sky is indeed full of unstoppable mysterious temptation for countless Chinese people......

……

"Ah, Victor, are these two fighters yours?"

Walking and chatting along the way, the two young people came to the reinforced hangar shrouded in night with a smile and a smile, and stood and watched in the huge hangar space with bright lights and a little cool breeze.

Hearing the girl's question, Long Yun followed her gaze and looked at the two Su-27S in the hangar that were staggered one after the other:

"Sort of, the recent tasks in the regiment are not heavy, and the losses are relatively light. If the war were in a hurry, I wouldn't have so many planes waiting to strike at any time. ”

As he spoke, walking towards the metal giant bird that was quietly dormant in the hangar, Long Yun stood beside the red seventeenth Su-27S with great vigour, and raised his hand to beckon Valentina to walk to the red boarding staircase on the side of the nose.

With a bit of a proud greeting girl to visit the fighter plane, at this time Viktor Rezenov is quite a bit of a show off luxury sports car, but the real situation is naturally very different, will there be a production sports car in the world with a unit price of more than 20 million rubles (about 30 million US dollars)?

In the tall and spacious hangar, the red No. 17 and white No. 20 fighters that have undergone the baptism of war, anyone who stands in front of them can feel a layer of fierce murderous aura shrouded in the huge body full of mechanical beauty. Compared with the warplanes that defend the sky of the Red Empire, ordinary means of transportation are far from in momentum, not to mention that even the so-called "golden sports car" with a price of up to 280 million euros (in fact, it is just a rumor) is just a kind of ostentatious fantasy of the nouveau riche, even if the whole body is inlaid with diamonds.

Compared with the aircraft with great achievements, it will only be ashamed of itself. (To be continued......)
