Chapter 280: Receiving New Fighters

For the covert operations on the intelligence front, Long Yun is still a little uncomfortable.

Knowing from Valentina that the order of the NATO intelligence system was to try to capture him alive instead of killing himself, Long Yun's thoughts were the same as hers, and he felt that this was not good news.

Let's just say that the attack on the way home a few days ago, judging from the attacks of those militants, even if NATO's sleeper agents will act according to orders, the rice bucket men they secretly recruited can not be able to control the proportions of their actions. Moreover, although NATO is a military bloc led by the United States, the intelligence agencies of each member state also have their own agendas in their actions: the Americans may want to get him to North America, but the spies of other countries do not necessarily think so.

"I think you have a point. However, "Feeling the trouble caused by these guys lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity, Long Yun really felt a little irritable, and he had the ability to consciously snoop on him, and he was not very afraid of these threats: "If they don't give up and continue to do such tricks, then I have to kill one by one." ”

"How, Victor?"

Seeing that Long Yun was obviously quite resentful, Valentina of course didn't know that he had no fear, just waiting for those blind NATO agents to come to the door and continue to send him to death, but felt that his high-spirited thoughts were quite unfavorable to his protection mission, so he raised his hand and put his hand on the back of Long Yun's hand, and looked at his face softly:

"Don't do that, okay? The number one ace like you should be spilling anger in the sky, and be calm on the ground. Besides, I'm going to carry out a mission too, and you're not going to be able to do that. ”

Hearing the beautiful woman's soft complaint, or rather the coquettishness with concern, Long Yun knew that she was worried about her safety, so he nodded in cooperation.

"It's a little angry, but it's not to the point of recklessness. Anyway, be careful, I see. ”

"Well, that's pretty much it."

After receiving Long Yun's consent, and thinking of the man's previous thrilling ambush encounter, Valentina felt that Victor seemed to be a lucky person with excellent luck, so she temporarily put aside her worries and continued the small talk between the two.

After having afternoon tea with Valentina, and wandering around the city streets like a pair of real lovers, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when Long Yun returned to the base.

Approaching the spacious take-off and landing area of the station, and walking along the cement road parallel to the runway, Long Yun from a distance found that the atmosphere in the regiment today was unusual, and in front of the tall half-buried hangar in the distance, there were not only a number of huge Su-27s parked in front of the door, but also many people moving nearby.

Thinking of the afternoon walk, he heard a faint roar from the sky, which lasted for a long time, could it be that it was the same as he had guessed before, that the fighter planes replenished from the rear had arrived?

Sure enough, when he approached the hangar, Long Yun saw clearly that these big guys with new paint and chic appearance had obviously just flown in the field, and there were almost no unsightly black runners and stains on the body, which should be a new force flying in this afternoon; Seeing that his partner Korolev, the small pilot, was busy with the ground crew pilot next to the fighter, Long Yun greeted them loudly.

"Konstantin! ――Is this your new car? ”

"Oh! Victor, you're here! Come and see my new plane, I've had a bit of an itch these days, hehe! ”

Since he had transferred his Red No. 16 to Long Yun for use, and had temporarily changed from a pilot to an idler without fighters, Korolev was of course extremely excited to see these heavy fighters piloted by members of the test flight regiment and transferred from Irkutsk to Karaganda to the station of the 237th Fighter Aviation Regiment. As for Long Yun, who has been using his partner's landline to launch an attack in the past two days, of course he knows that he is looking forward to the new fighter, so he patted him on the shoulder and back, and the two of them chatted with the ground crew pilots who were still busy picking up the plane for testing.

During the chat, Long Yun learned that this batch of Su-27 newly manufactured from IAPO is still the basic type whose structure, avionics and weapon system have not been significantly changed, but it has a very outstanding advantage: probably because there is no important task for the development of new fighters, the Sukhoi Design Bureau has carried out the integration of the Su-27 fighter fire control system and the ZSh-3UM helmet sight quite quickly, and this batch of eleven single-seat Su-27S has been equipped with helmet sights that can show their skills in combat air combat!

"Helmet sights, are they ready to use now?"

"Yes, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel! Although it is a new thing, the tactical manual and technical description of this thing have been sent down a long time ago, and it is already something that has been waiting for a long time to get. ”

Of course, the pilots were very serious about Long Yun, the number one ace of the Red Air Force, and some people showed him the tactical manual that he put aside.

Walking to the other side of the fighter plane, Long Yun probably glanced at the hastily printed but illustrated booklet with the help of the already dim sunlight, and knew that this helmet-mounted sight was similar to the first-generation product used in the Su-27 series of fighters in the real world, and almost the same as the test product he visited in the MiG Design Bureau.

The ZSh-3UM helmet sight itself is very well designed, but due to the drag of the Soviet Union's electronic level, it still only has the function of indicating the direction of the target, and cannot obtain the target parameter information, and these tasks still need to be handled by the fire control system of the fighter.

"How's it going, Victor? It is said that this system is powerful and can help pilots quickly capture targets in dogfights, is that true? ”

"Yes, that's right." After thinking about it, he felt that there was no secrecy involved, so Long Yun combined his experience in the MiG Design Bureau to briefly explain the principle and use of the helmet aiming system to the little pilot.

Of course, these things will definitely be organized in the regiment to study and train intensively, and then they can be put into actual combat, and he is probably doing literacy for his partner now; However, in connection with the recent combat style and dispatch rules in the regiment, Long Yun knew that his combat thinking had brought new changes to the 237th regiment, and now the appearance of helmet sights can be said to be a catalyst with promising effects, and it will be up to the young men to master and exert their power.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Sounds great! If you want to say this, then with the EOS system, you can really achieve an omnidirectional attack, at least it is close to an omnidirectional style of play, which is really exciting! - Uh, I said Victor,"

Deeply encouraged by Long Yun's introduction, Korolev remembered that the ability to aim at the helmet was only available to this batch of new fighters, so he was a little reluctant, but said from the heart: "Now that the new fighter is here, how about this brand new one?" Anyway, the helmet or something is still completely amateur now, so it's just right for you. ”

"Ah, no, this thing is easy to get started, and besides, the regiment will definitely organize training! Besides, I don't necessarily need this system, I can fly Red Seventeen. ”

Directly rejected his partner's suggestion, this is not that Long Yun is pretending to be modest, to be honest, he had seen this system in the rice pattern before, and he also realized that with his superior intuition and judgment, he could capture the fighter without the assistance of helmet sights in the ever-changing combat combat.

Of course, the reason for "continuing to use the original fighters" is ...... I have to say that there is also a bit of extra consideration.

To say that this batch of newly assigned Su-27S, after a transfer and thousands of kilometers of long-distance testing, although the fuselage structure and flight performance can already be ensured, but small problems in the electronic system are still inevitable.

With the level of the Soviet Union's electronics industry in the parallel world, in 1996 the main models of the Air Force, the MiG-29 and Su-27, were still using a large number of discrete devices and analog processors.

Because of this, it is really common for the onboard electronic equipment of new fighter planes to have electronic failures due to component failure or parameter drift, and although flight accidents will not occur due to the redundancy of the flight control system, the reliability of the fire control system related to combat effectiveness cannot be guaranteed.

For Long Yun, who has a win in every attack and never misses the plane, the loss of the chain of the fighter during the fierce fight is not only very dangerous, but also often means losing the fat in his mouth, which of course he cannot tolerate.

So, let's use the old plane first!

While thinking and chatting like this, when the pilots were busy with the inspection and the newly received fighters were successively stored in the semi-buried hangar for dehumidification and maintenance, Long Yun and his partner Korolev walked to the base restaurant.

In the dining room, tonight the regiment will hold a dinner party for the test pilots who have come to fly the fighters: tomorrow morning, these colleagues who will fly the fighters across the vast skies of the Soviet Union and between the aviation industrial complex and the forward bases will leave by transport planes, and it is they who have worked tirelessly to bring the fighters that the 237th Regiment urgently needs, and they will naturally be warmly welcomed and entertained by the whole regiment.

In this unprecedented scale and sudden war, it was not only the bloody soldiers on the front line who did their best for the motherland and victory, but also the countless soldiers and laborers who worked silently in the rear. Long Yun, who was walking on the road, had such a feeling because of what he had seen and heard in the afternoon, and he looked back at the vaulted hangar that was faintly shining with bright light and the light control was canceled because of overtime, and he deepened his understanding of this familiar and unfamiliar red country in his heart.

Such a country, probably, will still stand even in the face of any monstrous waves......

"Comrade Rezenov?"

"Ah, what's the matter?"

Thinking a little distracted as he walked, Long Yun was a little stunned when he heard someone coming from a distance greeting him.
