In contrast, the practicality of multi-target capabilities is better with the "Tomcat" using the AIM-54 "Immortal Bird", and of course, no matter how much you toss for the machine-swept PD radar, it is just a makeshift of 50 steps and a hundred steps.

The problem of "multi-target engagement" was determined, and Long Yun said that.

He knew that for such a very obvious problem, the engineers of the Sukhoi Design Bureau and the Khmilov Instrumentation Research Institute could not have imagined that there were other factors to consider in the decision-making of the government and the military, and one of the most important but inconvenient to mention was the production capacity gap of the R-77 missile.

"Multi-target engagement", which seems to be a very beautiful tactical capability, is why it has not been fully rolled out in VVS and PVO during the war, even if the Su-27M that can use R-77 missiles has always followed the N001 "sequential irradiation" mode, this is of course because of the combat mode of the Red Air Force and the Territorial Defense Force, the demand for multi-target engagement is not very urgent, and the insufficient number of ARHM is also a constraint that cannot be ignored.

Battles that fully exert multi-target capabilities, on the one hand, require a large number of AHMs to be fired, and on the other hand, the hit rate must be lower than that of single-target engagements, which is actually a very expensive way to play.

The current war is in full swing, every day on the sky battlefield, hundreds of air-to-air missiles are launched, and the production capacity of R-77 missiles, especially the 9B-1103 self-homing head, is relatively insufficient, with a sky killer like Victor, the 210th Division and the 239th Regiment can of course get endless and enough ammunition supplies, and all front-line units are also eagerly looking forward to the arrival of more ARHM, but for the time being, they can only use a mixture of R-27 and R-77 series of missiles to fight.

To such a form shì. Even if it's not squatting on the front line of the military industry. Long Yun from the real world is also insightful. I also know how complex the production process of the 9B-1103 self-guided head is.

For each R-77 missile, the self-homing head needs a small radar and a supporting fire control computer, and after being launched, it is used up and pulled down at one time.

War, once it rises to the point of all-out confrontation of life and death, has a certain potential for war on the total amount. Exactly which directions should be allocated in order to give full play to the most powerful combat effectiveness is itself a kind of systems engineering that requires comprehensive consideration.

In the face of powerful U.S. Air Force and Navy fighters, ARHM and SARHM often mean a stark difference between life and death for pilots, this kind of thing, Long Yun knows it in his heart, but reason is also telling him, this is also an inevitability after all; In the face of an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, victory is the only victory. It is the highest pursuit of every defender of the Red Empire, even if it is a matter of using less advanced weapons. Suffering a relatively unfavorable exchange ratio is an irreplaceable contribution to the overall strategic situation of the Red Empire, and it is reflected in every soldier who forgets his life, and it has become a kind of fearless bravery and glory.

In such a magnificent war, attacking as Viktor Rezenov, Long Yun couldn't help but wonder, did he fulfill the responsibility of being the number one ace of the Red Air Force?

In this catastrophe that determines the future and fate of the whole world, as a traverser, did he do everything he could, do his best to help the entire socialist camp, and strive for complete victory in the war......

Immersed in reverie, he didn't speak in the chair for a while, and it took a while for Long Yun to gradually come back to his senses.

During this time, the computer network was used to receive the relevant information of the "Су-27К" transmitted by the project team, and Koneshev quickly asked people to print a copy and hand it to Comrade Lieutenant General, as for the number one ace of the Red Air Force, why he needed the details of carrier-based fighters, Koneshev did not ask anything, but left him a phone number of the design bureau, and told Sù Viktor that he could call directly if he had any questions.

"Yes, that's good!

Comrade Koneshev, does this require the signing of some documents? ”

Long Yun himself didn't know much about the secrecy regulations of the Sukhoi Design Bureau, or the Soviet military agencies, but he knew some of the rules, so he signed the register, pressed his fingerprint, and stuffed a thick stack of materials into his handbag, while thinking with regret how good it would be if there were such a thing as a "tablet" in this world.

Well, well, after all, it's not 1997 yet, and in the territory of the Soviet Union, the average laptop is naturally available, and for him, a general who flies planes and fights all day and is busy with affairs, maybe he should apply for the purchase of one?

After talking about the Su-27K, the discussion about the performance of the M2 fighter also came to an end, Long Yun did not delay Sergei Koneshev's time, before he said goodbye, he also asked the designer one thing, in addition to the two Su-27M2 he received earlier, IAPO now has one or two project verification machines for the facelifted Su-27.

"Verification machine? Well, I'll think about it,"

Hearing Victor's thrush shrug up and admonishing Dai ∫⊥ abandoned

"No, ahem——, or not yet.

Comrade General, regarding the M2 project, we have successively manufactured three prototypes, of which the No. 01 machine is used for static testing, that is, it has been basically reimbursed, and the No. 02 and No. 03 have been taken away by you, and now the project team only has some components and assemblies at hand, after all, the entire project has been stopped by the design bureau, ......

Comrade General, do you need more M2-type fighters?

Didn't say it! Ahem - in that case, we should go to Mikhail and coordinate an assembly line, I think IAPO can guarantee monthly mass production-"

"Oh, no, no!

Comrade Koneshev, I mean,"

Seeing Sergei Koneshev's eyes shining in front of him, sweeping away the listlessness caused by the cold just now, Long Yun knew that the designer was still obsessed with the mass-produced facelift Su-27, he quickly waved his hand, asked him to calm down, and helped the thin man to sit back in the chair, "The mass production of the M2 model, I personally look forward to it as eagerly as you, but we still need some time and necessary opportunities, don't we?" And now, yes,"

While speaking, he subconsciously looked left and right, in fact, there was no one else in the room at this time, and Long Yun's voice was a few points lower:

"It's more important to settle the Americans first, so I make a request, since the IAPO doesn't have other Su-27M2 for the time being, I will let the subordinates of the 239th Regiment fly over, and you, just try your best to contact the Novosibirsk Aviation Industry Complex and find a way to make some adaptable improvements to the Su-27M2, such as 'strengthening the main landing gear', 'adding a ship hook' or something.

How, are there any difficulties? ”

"...... 'landing hook'?"

Although he was still in the middle of a cold and his head was a little groggy, Sergei Koneshev was now in high spirits, his eyes widened behind his glasses, and his mouth opened in disbelief:

"What, Comrade General, do you want - to come a carrier-based aircraft, a facelifted Su-27M2K?

Ho, ho, I think about it, that's a great idea!

However, Comrade General, as you must know, it is not so simple to change a land-based fighter to a carrier-based aircraft, at least it needs to be - ahem, at least it needs to be redesigned in many places from the inside out, like the S type to the K type.

If nothing else, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the Su-27M2 is good, higher than that of the S and K, but it is impossible to take off from a heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser on the jumping deck - no, no, I thought about it, you are planning to use the 'third position', a heavy take-off site with a glide length of 195 meters, right?

Ah, ahem, ahem, what an exciting idea!

I think there is a great future, 'Ula', Comrade Rezenov, we must ......"

said a lot of things, and Long Yun next to him could only stand there with a big-brimmed hat in his hand, staring dryly, seeing Sergei Koneshev as if Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov was possessed, and he elaborated on "several opinions on the improvement of the depth of the Su-27M2 shipboard", which made the young man who had no way to interject listen to a cloud and a mountain of fog; He really didn't understand at all how a land-based fighter could have to do so much hard and meticulous work on board, and the Su-27K's empty weight of nearly nineteen tons was really not in vain, but ......

But this has nothing to do with his current plan!

Not to mention anything else, the Su-27M2, through the redesign of the fuselage, the replacement of radar and other subsystems and the replacement of AL-31F-M2, the thrust-to-weight ratio has been qualitatively improved compared with the Su-27S.

So, how could he move the idea of getting the M2 on the ship, and lift the empty weight that was finally lowered again?

For Viktor Rezenov's air combat career, most of the time he is fighting to the death with the enemy in the air, SEP is a very important indicator for Long Yun, now that he has the M2 aircraft, of course he will not give up lightly and return to the old way of driving the heavy original, and after all, he is not a highly trained carrier-based aircraft pilot, running to a heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser, isn't that a mess.

Having said that, seeing that Koneshev was so excited, Long Yun couldn't open his mouth to interrupt the speech, he waited next to him with a teacup for a while, took a few sips of water with a straw, and waited for the excited designer to talk a lot and end his speech with a few loud coughs, before nodding his head in agreement:

"Well said, Comrade Koneshev!

That one...... Well, in short, this matter is please, be sure to make relevant preparations,—— but folding wings, mouth cover seals and pipelines, circuits and these aspects are not taken care of for the time being, 'landing gear and landing hook', solve these two problems first, and the parachute still needs to be retained, so be it! (To be continued......)
