Chapter 343: The Participation of the Ace

"...... my thoughts?"

was asked so abruptly, Long Yun was really a little speechless for a while; Looking up at the projection screen, the longitudinal cross-border reconnaissance routes of Central Asia, which clearly had no rules to speak of, the dark red lines seemed to be woven into a messy giant net, this matter was obviously not as simple as one or two lift-off operations.

Although he is different from his previous status, he is now a real major general of the Air Force, and he also has a considerable say in the combat meeting, but he still has no clue when it comes to considering the combat plan as a whole.

When it comes to thinking about countermeasures, just from a technical point of view, he can still think about it:

How to deal with the SR-71......

In Long Yun's memories, in reality, this is an old model that was once unattainable, but has been returned to history; But to deal with it in this parallel world of the ninety-nineties, he is really a little difficult.

With the SR-71's long-term cruising capability at an altitude of 30,000 meters and a speed of more than Mach 3, such a high flight index can almost directly ignore all air defense fighters, surface-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft guns in the parallel world; Because of this, although this fighter is very cumbersome to maintain and use, and the price is almost fantastically expensive, it is still worth the money.

Therefore, it is by no means without reason that it was regarded by the United States as the most reliable and effective means of strategic reconnaissance before the emergence of reconnaissance satellites.

But even such a high-performance aircraft has times when it is outdated and out of date, otherwise it would not have been stopped by the Americans, put into storage and mothballed. However, in this parallel world, they have used the SR-71 for strategic reconnaissance, could it be that they have no fear, or have some special considerations?

Well, he can not speculate on what the Americans think.

But when it comes to dealing with SR-71, can he play any decisive role in such a matter?

Different from the complicated situation of the Air Force on the front line of operations, territorial air defense operations are a coordinated project that attaches importance to system coordination, and what is emphasized is not the superb skills of some ace pilot, but the mutual connection and close cooperation of various nodes in the automated air defense interception network. With the current equipment capabilities of the PVO, the Soviet Union has been equipped with excellent medium- and high-altitude surface-to-air missile systems such as the S-300, and also has a new generation of long-range warning radars such as the "Pechora River" and the "Don River", which are still like the S-75 and S-200 systems in the sixties and seventies, which cannot pose a substantial threat to the SR-71?

Taking a step back, even if ground-to-air missiles and antiaircraft artillery cannot be counted on, and the only way to try their luck is to use interceptors, what role can his ace's air combat technology play in a completely self-guided interception operation?

Speaking of interceptors, Long Yun remembered the MiG-31 equipped with PVO, a powerful high-speed model that was supposed to be responsible for intercepting high-performance targets, but it was not suitable for combat in itself. It is not necessary to let him drive his Su-27S to engage in some territorial air defense - the tall and long-legged MiG-31 cannot reach the target, and the Su-27 naturally has nothing to think of.

Thinking of this, Long Yun cautiously asked:

"This, Comrade Commander, has the PVO tried to volley with a MiG-31 before?"

Petrov was not surprised by Long Yun's reply, but showed a look of appreciation; Facing the general's calm gaze, Long Yun knew that his words seemed to be amateurish, but they hit the nail on the head. With a relaxed wave of his hand, the general motioned to a colonel sitting next to him to explain the problem to Long Yun:

"That's right, Comrade Major General. Ever since the SR-71 began to invade our airspace, the PVO has been doing its best to intercept it; The MiG-31, of course, made several sorties, and several times was successfully guided to the intended course of the SR-71, but not a single volley was successful. With regard to these failures, the specific situation reports - how to put it, the content of these reports is a bit bizarre; We will then provide you with a copy of the report, which you can take back and study carefully. In short, it is because of these reports that we are considering borrowing you, the number one ace, from the Air Force; If it were you, it might be able to bring a new twist to interception operations. ”

Hearing the colonel's explanation, coupled with the additional information brought by the snooping of consciousness, Long Yun roughly understood the true thoughts of the command structure of the Territorial Defense Force.

It seems that the high-speed interceptors in the PVO aviation regiment that took off to intercept the SR-71 must have encountered some trouble during the mission; After experiencing glorious operations since the start of the war, he is now regarded by the Soviet military as the number one air combat force, or VVS and PVO are a little bit regarded as a god, which is not an exaggeration. In this case, it is not too surprising that the PVO, who had been touched by the "Blackbird" because of his unfavorable interception, would think of borrowing his VVS ace to turn the tide.

However, when it comes to territorial air defense operations, Long Yun probably still has some understanding, basically approaching the target route under the guidance of GCI, relying on guidance instructions and airborne radar to intercept the target, and then launching the missile under the prompt of the fire control system, providing a certain period of target irradiation before leaving and returning. In the entire interception operation, regardless of whether the missile hits the target or not, there is no need or permission to enter the visual contact operation without authorization, and in particular, there is no possibility of a fierce combat scene -- nonsense, what kind of combat can those invading reconnaissance planes, such as the U2, have in combat at all?

In short, unlike the intense and fierce air force operations, the interception operations of the Territorial Air Defense Force are to fly fighter planes in all directions, accurately follow the command and guidance, and launch missile salvos at distant and invisible targets. Not only do you not need any trump card for this kind of thing, but even pilots with mediocre skills can do it.

said a thousand things and ten thousand, how could he be needed to appear in this kind of thing?

Long Yun intuitively thought that PVO's request must be related to the stack of photocopied materials sent to him, but now he didn't have time to look through it carefully, so he could only express the meaning of obeying the arrangement:

"Okay, I'll go back and study the information carefully."

"Then arrange it like this, if you don't have anything else to do in the capital, we want to arrange for you to leave, okay?"

"Uh......"

Long Yun thought to himself that he did have some things to do, and he did not plan to leave Moscow immediately; But thinking that SR-71 was still roaming the skies of Central Asia, he somehow sprouted a strong desire to fight.

Thinking of those "blackbirds" with strange shapes and flamboyant lines, in reality, they have completely lost their tactical value because of the appearance of the attack aircraft, and can only live in the aviation museum and aircraft cemetery; I didn't expect it to be so arrogant in a parallel world, really when the world's tightest anti-aircraft fire network is a deaf ear that comes and goes freely?
