Speaking of the "Chenlong", the team is in good shape right now, and dozens of PL-12s and replacement thrusters are still piled up in the hangar.

Besides, if he Long Yun encounters this situation, how can he go to great lengths to think of what to do, just follow the RWR prompts to maneuver and avoid, and then rush up to fight?

After all, in this world, as long as the performance of the two fighters is not too different, then whether it is a competition or a real air combat, the person who can defeat him in a visual air battle is as rare as the person who can hit him in an over-the-horizon air combat - if not completely absent.

"I put forward the topic of 'confrontation with active bombs' when I was thinking about tactical tactics, and it can be regarded as a pastime. ――Ling, aren't you engaged in the study of the history of science and technology, and it is also beneficial to think about this kind of question, what do you say? ”

As he spoke, he unconsciously spied a glimmer of Shangguan Ling's thoughts, knowing that the eldest lady in front of him had really carefully studied the information he gave, Long Yun suddenly came to continue with interest; And he also happened to think that it was also a pleasant way to pass the time by popularizing weapons knowledge or literacy for girls on transoceanic flights.

Of course, the discussion is a discussion, taking into account the personal tendencies of the interlocutor, he did not directly put forward his own combat situation in the parallel world, but cleverly changed the background of the subject to a history of the real world, and then concisely retold it to the eldest lady next to him, that is, "in the early nineties of the twentieth century, on the basis of the introduction of the Su-27SK and supporting weapon systems by the Chinese Air Force, discuss how to deal with the threat of active radar-guided missiles from the Americans."

Sure enough, I heard a few statements from Long Yun. Shangguan Ling, who was quick-witted, was immediately aroused by the topic of "dealing with the Americans". The two quickly entered into a substantive discussion:

"Long Yun. You mean to take the level of equipment of the Chinese Air Force at the end of the last century as the background of the subject, at that time we did not have active missiles, right? ――Oh yes, aside, I think 'using the active bullet against the active bullet' is the most effective way to deal with it, right? ”

"Ah, yes; You've found that, and that's good. ”

The first sentence made Long Yun feel that "this woman is teachable". He nodded his head in acknowledgment.

Naturally, the best way to deal with enemy planes using active missiles is to use them to launch attacks in the same way, and this principle is applicable even today when air combat technology is advancing by leaps and bounds.

But having said that, when it came to the situation he had to deal with, in 1996, in the parallel world, based on the actual level of Soviet electronic technology to counter the American AIM-120, Long Yun did not pin his hopes on the "pennant" R-77 from the beginning; Although he also knew about the air-to-air missiles of the Pennant design bureau and the development of radar homing heads, there was a special agency responsible for the development of radar homing heads, and the delay in the progress of missiles could not be blamed on researchers such as Ushakov.

In the face of the threat of AIM-120, the same was true for the Chinese Air Force at that time; Since the introduction of active bombs is not expected for the time being. And what about other types of missiles?

Considering the complete topic in front of him, Long Yun felt that this was still a little too difficult for his young employer; So he was going to ask a different question. Try to communicate with her as plainly and concisely as possible.

His line of thought for discussion began with the analysis of missile weapons.

Regarding the air-to-air missiles involved in the subject, if you look at the genealogy of Soviet weapons and equipment in the real world, all kinds of air-to-air missiles can be said to be diverse and dazzling; From the early radio command guidance, the K-5, which looked like a fat fish, to the R-77, which was the final work of the Red Dynasty and was not accepted by the state until the collapse of the Soviet Union, it can be said that it is the only one in the history of the world's air-to-air missile weapons because of its variety of types, miscellaneous modifications, and unique creativity.

Seeing so many missile models, if a visitor has been confused, then you can set aside this seemingly flowery model map and explore an important part of the working principle of the missile, the guidance mode, and the problem will become very simple:

After decades of theoretical and actual combat tests, the air-to-air missiles put into actual combat in the Soviet Union or around the world generally only had two types: "semi-active radar guidance" and "infrared guidance" before the application of "active radar guidance" technology.

With such a big premise, the discussion that follows will be much easier.

"Well, Ling, then how effective is it against active missiles with other types of missiles in the absence of active bombs? I will give you two discussion points, 'infrared-guided missiles' and 'semi-active radar-guided missiles', which you can analyze one by one. ”

"Okay. But I'm still a complete layman, so don't laugh at me if you say something wrong, okay? ”

"Ridicule? How is that possible,"

Long Yun thought to himself that this was not only impossible, but to put it bluntly, he didn't dare, "Say whatever comes to mind." ”

"Well, okay."

Once the air-to-air missiles were discussed with Long Yun's train of thought, Shangguan Ling's speech and demeanor became a little more restrained, as if it was because it involved a field that she was not familiar with, diluting her original absolute self-confidence, and the eldest lady with a focused demeanor even spoke in a softer tone:

"As far as I've been thinking in the past two days, if I talk about finding a weapon to deal with active missiles, I think the 'infrared guided missile' should be able to play a similar role to the 'active radar guided missile'. Because after reading the information you provided, I found that infrared bombs also have a long-range over-the-horizon model, which is the R-27T imported from Soviet Russia, right? It also doesn't require the carrier aircraft to keep an eye on the target, which is not very similar to the active projectile? ”

"Oh, in theory, that's right."

Hearing that Ling's words were no longer completely layman's tone, Long Yun cleared his throat and whispered:

"Infrared-guided air-to-air missiles rely on the infrared radiation of enemy aircraft to track and lock, which is a passive guidance method, and generally does not require the participation of carrier aircraft in the process of engagement, which is somewhat similar to active bombs."

As he spoke, he called up the chart on the tablet to assist in the explanation, "Well, just like the R-27T you just mentioned, or the R-73, both have the same 'launch and forget' characteristics as active radar-guided missiles; theoretically, the carrier aircraft can go to other things after locking on to the target and launching the missile, and the missile itself will find and pursue the target."

――That sounds great, doesn't it? (To be continued......)
