Chapter 1203 Anti-Radiation Generation
Having dealt with the reception of the Su-27P42, in addition to the fierce battles in the air every day, Long Yun has also been busy with other things related to the war or not directly related.
All this time, he has been running back and forth in the Far East of the parallel world, and he has never ended his time traveling back to reality.
The tense war situation in the Far East, the intelligence coming from Burma, and even the follow-up investigation of the "dead city" -- of course, he was not alone in all the things he had to deal with, and first of all, the most important, and even related to the overall situation of the war, was the battle plan he put forward at the secret meeting of the Irkutsk base, which was approved by the National Defense Committee and the General Staff a few days ago.
Viktor Rezenov, a super-ace pilot of the Soviet Red Air Force, reported that he "wanted to participate in the ocean-going battles of the Red Navy." This kind of absurd and even somewhat whimsical application, even submitted by a vice admiral of the Air Force, would probably be regarded by the commanders and staff officers as fantasies.
However, since it was proposed by Viktor Rezenov himself, the weight is naturally completely different from that of ordinary people.
Is there anything strange about the fact that a battle plan, even the most unexpected one, was put forward by Comrade Viktor Rezenov, the number one air killer of the Soviet Union and nicknamed too many to count, and who has already been awarded the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union" three times, and whose battle legend has always been talked about, now proposes to "participate in the decisive battle of the Red Navy in the oceans"?
Viktor Antonovich Rezonov. A man with a brilliant record and countless kills. A super-ace pilot who terrifies Americans. A terrifying killer who recorded twelve planes in a single sortie, let alone fighting in the depths of the ocean, even if he handed in a "Mars low-orbit combat plan", the generals of the General Staff would read it in detail before drawing conclusions!
Because of this, the war decision-making body of the Red Empire attached great importance to the application submitted by Long Yun, and for this reason, the situation was verified by multiple parties and a secret discussion was held within the National Defense Committee.
Of course, the mention of Victor. The discussion was not necessarily about whether Comrade Lieutenant General's proposal was feasible, but focused on the battlefield situation after the implementation of this plan and whether it would have a substantial impact on the Red Navy's ocean-going contest. In this regard, although the participants of the Red Navy did not know much about the VVS ace, after some reflection and evaluation, they still concluded that if Viktor could really participate in the war, the impact on the war situation would probably be "very critical, even decisive".
Since the conclusion has been reached, although it is only some theoretical analysis, the General Staff has consulted the Supreme High Command and obtained the approval of Commander-in-Chief Malenkov and others. An order was issued to "approve the plan in principle".
Getting such a copy of the article is for Long Yun. The path to participation in the battle has already been paved.
In order to submit a detailed plan to the above, Long Yun worked overtime for two nights and wrote a document so that the senior management could understand his tactical plan and send it to the Red Navy for coordination by the way.
Long Yun did not study much of the Red Empire's entire military command system, although he knew the general command level of the Far Eastern Theater, and the Theater General Headquarters in Irkutsk had under its jurisdiction the three military district commands, the air force units under the military region, and the Pacific Fleet of the Red Navy.
However, it is conceivable that in any campaign-level operation during wartime, the theater command organ must act in accordance with the instructions of the Supreme High Command and the General Staff Headquarters.
So, for the current Viktor Rezenov, it is of course good to participate in an ocean-going group fight, but before that, there is really a lot of preparation and coordination in all aspects.
In the recent period, in addition to the air sortie, Long Yun took the Su-27K fighter materials obtained by the IAPO, as well as the Pacific Fleet tactics and campaign planning materials provided by the General Headquarters to study and study, these materials are top secret, but he may not land at which forward base after the sortie, for which the 239th regiment also specially received a Su-27UB, responsible for transporting these materials and KGB agent Comrade Valentina Kurtonova.
As the division commander and political commissar of the 210th Aviation Division, Long Yun thought of the frame division he was in charge of - saying that the "frame division" was all wrong, and it was simply a shadow division, he thought it was quite funny.
Su-27M,Su-27M2,Su-27M2K,Su-27UB,Su-27P42,MiG-29N……
The 210th Aviation Division only has one fighter aviation regiment under its jurisdiction, and there are as many as six types of fighters in the regiment.
A small fighter aviation regiment, there are too many types of fighters, it is definitely an endless nightmare for ground support and logistics personnel, fortunately, the huge red empire is such a combat unit full of personality, since it is the exclusive team of the number one ace, it doesn't matter how you toss it.
There are many types of warplanes, and accordingly, the situation with onboard weapons is also extraordinary.
Compared with ordinary VVS and PVO front-line combat units, the supply of weapons and ammunition of the 239th regiment is nothing special, in addition to the more abundant ammunition reserves and the availability of any number of supplies at any time, the "pennant" design bureau, which has not been contacted for a long time, also came with a little unexpected news, Major General Andrei Ushakov sent a note through the KGB system, telling Sù Viktor that the miniaturization of the improved seeker of the design bureau 9B-1032 is basically completed, that is, It is possible to achieve a good match between the seeker and the body of the R-77 missile, and the R-77P will soon be available to him.
The R-77P, as the name suggests, is an anti-radiation missile based on the R-77 design, which is of course good news for Long Yun.
Radiation-guided air-to-air missiles, typically like Long Yun's previous participation in the research and development, and later defeated the NATO coalition forces in the Caucasus, the R-27P/EP is a product of replacing the seeker on the basis of the R-27R/ER and making corresponding supporting improvements, and it also belongs to the R-27 family, so while it has excellent anti-radiation capabilities, it also inherits the characteristics of the R-27 series of missiles such as large size, limited range, and low usable overload, which are basically determined by the missile body, in a war environment. It is difficult to improve in a short period of time without affecting high-volume production.
Because of this, for R-27P/EP, Longyun's use strategy is actually a little conservative.
R-27P/EP, a stout missile similar to a cross axe, is large and heavy, the aerodynamic drag is really not small, and the number of launches that need to be launched at one time is also large, and the tactical value is really limited; At the beginning, when he slashed at the American troops in the Caucasus, he had never used such weapons to make sorties, and now that the enemy knows the existence of such a weapon, he will not carry too many bulky and cumbersome anti-radiation missiles when he takes off to attack.
Now, since Andrei Ushakov gave the R-77P such a thing, the situation is much different.
R-77, of course, Long Yun is very familiar with this, in the parallel world he not only participated in the development of this missile, but now he will carry several of them every time he fights.
Compared with the previous generation of R-27 series air-to-air missiles, the technological progress of solid propulsion allows the R-77 to achieve a satisfactory range despite the reduced size, the diameter of the projectile has been reduced from 230 mm to 200 mm of the R-27, and the weight has also been reduced from 254 kg to 175 kg of the R-27R; The R-77 has a longer range than the R-27R despite the reduced size and greatly reduced payload requirements, and in addition to the guidance method and ballistic optimization, the overall design improvement driven by the thruster replacement is also an important factor.
With a new generation of missile platforms such as the R-77, it is conceivable that the anti-radiation missile improved to the R-77P is superior to the R-27P in terms of weight, size and range; Two R-77Ps weigh as much as one R-27EP, which is obviously very helpful for fighters to increase the number of payloads.
The situation is probably like this, but such a good news, Long Yun learned from the person in charge of the "pennant", and he quickly understood the reason, probably this kind of missile will not be provided to ordinary troops for a while.
As for the reason, it is not difficult to understand.
As a replacement weapon with advanced technology and higher combat effectiveness than the R-27 series missiles, the demand for R-77 active radar-guided missiles is of course very urgent, and the production capacity of R-77 and 9B-1103 seekers in sufficient quantities is important, and the R-77 missile body with high total impulse, that is, the whole including thrusters, servos and servo mechanisms, must also be produced in large quantities.
Compared with high-precision active radar seekers, missile bodies seem simple, but they may not be easy to build.
Especially in the context of the world war, all weapons and equipment must be produced under the wartime system, and it is not realistic to update all the R-27 and even older R-23/24 series missiles of the front-line troops into R-77 in a short period of time, and for anti-radiation missiles, the number of launches at one time is very large, and compared with the R-27 projectile body with mature technology and safe mass production, the more valuable R-77 projectile is of course not convenient to be squandered in large quantities as the base body of anti-radiation missiles.
