Long Yun's assertion is not speculation, but a memory of the past from the real world.

Recalling the late nineties of the last century, the Chinese Air Force, which was also facing the threat of active radar-guided missiles from Western countries, also had various ideas to try to find effective tactics to use semi-active missiles such as R-27 and PL-11 against AIM-120; But after careful theoretical analysis and several confrontation drills, what is the conclusion?

"The most effective tactic against active radar-guided missiles, or the only effective tactic, is to obtain their own active radar-guided missiles through self-developed or outsourced means."

The cold reality, perhaps a little cruel.

However, it is precisely because of this cruel and real reality that the Chinese Air Force has made up its mind, not only to support the Russian missile weapons research institute, and then to purchase a large number of R-77s in batches, but also to increase investment in scientific research to promote the domestic PL-12 to be finalized and put into active service as soon as possible.

The reality of the sky battlefield that took the initiative to pop up made Long Yun recall these not so distant pasts.

Unfortunately, however, these memories are of no use to him now: the progress of the research of the Pennant design bureau can hardly exceed the limits of the level of Soviet electronics, and the way of outsourcing is even more nonsense. In the face of the unprecedented threat of AIM-120, knowing in his heart that this technological generation gap is difficult to make up for with the number of fighters or the will to fight, his eyes stared at the pages of battle damage reports that seemed to be soaked in blood in front of him, and Long Yun's eyes gradually became as cold as a knife.

Yes, even if it's not in the real world you live in. Even if a single qiē in this world has nothing to do with oneself; But as a time-traveler, experience this world war on an unprecedented scale. From the moment the first fighter plane was lifted into the air. The desire for victory has always burned in his heart.

Wrapped up in the technological superiority of the crossing, in the face of the threat of the Americans' active bombing, could he not do something to guide the defenders of the Red Empire to save the situation?

But what can be done to "save the situation"......

Returning to the scene from the boundless reverie, Long Yun found that the atmosphere in the conference room was still a little dull; He looked at the commander of the Air Force, Sergeyev, at the end of the long table, the middle-aged general leaning forward with a frowning brow and a muffled cigarette in his hand.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was so depressing, Long Yun wanted to say something to open up the situation. One of the attendees sitting next to him touched him lightly with his elbow and spoke to him in a low voice:

"Comrade Rezenov, do you have any better ways to deal with the Yankees' new weapons?"

"Coping?"

Looking at the lieutenant general of the Air Force who was neat and full of anticipation beside him, Long Yun didn't know what to want, but at this time, he found that the participants around him were looking in his direction, and their consciousness was snooping on him, and these people were all looking forward to hearing his opinion as the number one ace of the Red Air Force, so he was a little speechless for a while: "Hmm...... Well...... this."

While hesitating and secretly organizing his thoughts, Long Yun thought to himself that of course he couldn't say anything discouraged. You can't just make a generous statement to them as a traverser and directly say that "active radar-guided missiles cannot be stopped, and the only hope is to wait for the R-77 to appear", right?

But to say a little constructive mentions. He really didn't think of it for a while, so he asked casually first:

"Regarding missiles, maybe we can think of a way, how is the actual combat table of the extended-range R-27 now?"

The so-called extended-range R-27 missile, numbered R-27ER/R-27ET, Long Yun had seen the real thing once or twice before on the Caucasian front; The missile was built on the basis of the original R-27R/R-27T design with a larger diameter and longer thruster, and he remembers that the maximum range of both extended-range missiles could exceed 70 kilometers, a figure that was theoretically farther than the AIM-120B, which was very impressive in the nineties in the parallel world.

"- You mean, the R-27E series?"

As one of the operational staff officers next to him took over the conversation, several people's eyes looked at Ushakov across the table, who cleared his throat, and his originally dim eyes seemed to become a little brighter:

"Regarding the R-27ER, the current hit rate and reliability are okay. Viktor, you mean to use its long range against the AIM-120? This may be possible, but there are still some problems: first, the long range of the R-27ER missile requires the target interception distance of the carrier aircraft to be long enough, so it can only be used by the Su-27 with better radar performance, and others, such as the MiG-29, are difficult to play the due performance of the missile; Secondly, this missile is too large, both VVS and PVO have proposed too many restrictions on carrier aircraft, and a Su-27 can only hang up to four. ”

"Oh......"

Hearing Ushakov's explanation, Long Yun muttered a little absentmindedly.

When he talked about the R-27 missile just now, he seemed to think of a very important thing, which was related to the problem he was facing now, but what was it? At this time, someone next to him also joined the discussion, and an officer was stating his opinion, saying that the existing combat tactics should be changed to avoid a head-on confrontation with enemy aircraft carrying active radar-guided missiles as much as possible; This idea immediately aroused the support or opposition of everyone, and the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became a little noisy.

At the venue that was gradually becoming lively, Long Yun, who was staring at the report in front of him, was still thinking, he knew that it was impossible for the Red Air Force to have active radar-guided missiles to deal with the opponent's challenge for the time being, but he did think that there was a means that could be used to save the emergency, what was that-

Range extender R-27......

A large number of models of the R-27 missile family......

Yes, in addition to the R-27R of the semi-active radar type, the R-27T of the infrared type, there are ......

Like a bright lightning bolt on a stormy night, the knowledge of air-to-air missiles that he was once familiar with once again came to mind, and Long Yun finally found the right direction from the chaos of thoughts, or saw a ray of light.

If you use that method, you should be able to neutralize the threat of active bullets!

Returning to reality from the joy of discovering a glimmer of light, he restrained the urge to rush out and tell everyone to shut up and listen, and at the same time pondered and pondered in his heart until he had conceived a set of basically feasible combat strategies and tactical arrangements, and then raised his hand slightly to signal to Admiral Sergeyev, who was sitting at the top of the table.

"-Oh? Victor, what do you have in mind? ”

Seeing Long Yun's inconspicuous gesture in the chaos, Comrade General raised his arms and waved them twice, so that the red-faced and red-eared participants were quiet first, and then poked his hand towards the position of the ace major general.

From just now, it was found that this young man with outstanding military achievements was thinking silently, and there was a hint of obvious expectation in the general's tone:

"If you have any good ideas, Victor, just say them!"

"Yes, Comrade Admiral. Regarding the new missiles to counter the Americans, let's start with the R-27 series......" (to be continued......
