One side attacks with all its might and the other side intercepts. The battle in the clear sky is both tense and fierce. Every fighter plane of the offense and defense is not fighting alone at this time, but is embedded in a complete confrontation system like a precisely operated module.

When the actions of each fighter no longer rely on the observation and judgment of a single pilot, but rely on the unified dispatch of the command center, the evolution of the air combat situation will become more complex and eventually approach the limit of a certain comprehensive game. Under such combat conditions, the most important factor in determining the victory or defeat of both sides is no longer the performance of the weapon system. To a certain extent, it is not even the number of combat platforms, but depends on the situational game between the two, and it depends on who can be better and launch a thunderous fatal attack at the right time and occasion.

In the morning, he drove the plane and returned after completing a comprehensive confrontation drill. Sitting in the cockpit of the su-27m2 that was falling lightly, Long Yun put his hands on the joystick, and his eyes looked at a vast white ground under his feet. This theory came to his mind, and he now agrees with it very much.

Yes, isn’t it these precious ideas and ideas that Victor Rezenov can gain from this training camp in the Red Air Force?

As a super combat hero of the Soviet Empire, the number one ace in this battle, during the secret training at the Irkutsk Air Force Base, Long Yun, who took off the air, performed well, but did not show any breathtakingly powerful combat power. The results in the simulation confrontation were not very outstanding.

Not only Long Yun knew this situation, but all the pilots participating in the training camp were also very clear. Lieutenant General Victor Rezenov Air Force, a super air killer with a total of more than 150 crashes. His strength is definitely beyond imagination. Now, maybe he is just focusing on studying tactics and tactics, or "call a little entertainment" after fighting. In short, it is obviously a reserved and low-key.

Otherwise, if you are famous as the "Caucasus Death God", even if you join in half the way and drive the su-27m, you will not be able to achieve a exchange ratio of more than one to ten in the confrontation drill, isn't this a strange thing?

Long Yun smiled kindly at his comrades' speculation. He knew that he was actually trying to figure out tactics. At this time, it was meaningless to pursue a simple confrontation and exchange ratio.

This secret training at the Irkutsk base was basically over a few days later. The elite soldiers and generals from various combat units of the Red Air Force, command agencies and engineering and technical departments completed the training and exchanges one after another. They left the snow-covered shore of Lake Baikal, just like the dandelion seeds in midsummer, spreading the new combat ideas of the Red Air Force to every front-line combat unit of the VVS. All preparations were laid for the next stage of the Far East battle.

The comrades left one after another, but Long Yun, who joined halfway, remained in the base. The changing situation in the Far East will not affect his actions for the time being. Just as the Red Empire was preparing to compete with the enemy in the East, Victor Rezenov's daily work was to cooperate with Koneshev and others to test the new fighter jets. On the one hand, the project was successfully concluded, and on the other hand, it was also ready to receive the su-27m2 next.

The new Sukhoi fighter jet is flying straight into the blue sky. Long Yun is now playing an identity that is not an ordinary test pilot. These tasks have basically been completed, which also reduces the risk of his next flight. What he wants to do now is mainly to test the effectiveness of the fighter tvc system.

After several flights, Long Yun concluded that this system is indeed helpful in improving maneuverability, but also found many problems. Based on the knowledge background of the real world, he soon discovered that the Sukhoi Design Bureau's understanding of vector thrust control is quite in place, but the actual control system design is not ideal. Due to the processing capabilities of the onboard flight control system, the thrust control in various flight attitudes and the running speed of the computer, it is currently impossible to automatically adjust the "fly fire thrust integration" of automatically adjusting the thrust vector.

Without an integrated design, such a thrust vector fighter is probably similar to the F-15s/mtd I encountered before. It is true that I have the tvc capabilities. However, how to perform it requires the pilot to do it cheaply.

Without automatic control capabilities, or simple and crude tvc, it will undoubtedly greatly increase the pilot's combat pressure. In the fight and death, in the fighting air battle that is life-and-death and death, if you still have to be distracted to consider the specific control of thrust, it will undoubtedly only make the battle more difficult than the opposite. For this reason, the Sukhoi Bureau adopted a simple follow-up vector control on the su-27m2, and the tail nozzle that can be deflected in the vertical direction is actually linked to the flat tail. This design is still relatively primitive in principle, which also makes Long Yun feel a little at a loss.

As a pilot who traveled through time and had some knowledge of Soviet tvc research, he was not surprised by the simplified design of the Sukhoi Bureau.

After all, at the time nodes of the 1990s, even the United States, where the thrust vector research was relatively mature, the corresponding f-22 had not yet been in service. Regarding the complete integration of vector thrust and flight control systems, this requires a lot of test flight work or simulation on large computers. The current Soviet Union has not yet achieved this step. The so-called "thrust vector control" is temporarily just such a primary state.

Once this was clear, while continuing to test the su-27m2, Long Yun found Sergei Koneshev to discuss whether he could simply remove the thrust vector control mechanism on the two prototypes.

Koneshev was originally a little surprised at Victor's suggestion.

However, since the two prototypes at hand have to be provided to VVS, as the actual user of the M2 model, the lieutenant general's words are naturally very important, so the designer agreed to such changes and told him that the Al-31f-m2 on the two aircraft cannot easily disassemble the tvc module; as for this engine that has been deeply improved based on the Al-31f, if the life of the vector nozzle is relaxed to a level similar to the prototype, the life of the vector nozzle will no longer be considered, then the pure M2 engine can fully reach the level of fourteen tons.

“Ah, is that true?

Then, Comrade Koneshev, please ask you about the replacement of the two planes."

When the designer heard the "the non-TVC version of the al-31f-m2 can reach 14 tons of thrust", it was completely corresponding to the al-31f-m2 in the real world. Long Yun read some explanatory materials with interest, and then he understood what the engines provided by the Soviet aviation industry were all about.

In this bizarre parallel world, since the Soviet Union still exists, the military industry of the Red Empire has also developed step by step year by year. The "Saturn" industrial complex, which is responsible for producing the Al-31 series engines, has not split, and the so-called "117s" is naturally gone; and the m-series engine, which was originally developed by the "Salute" engine factory under the consortium, became the main theme of the "Saturn" industrial complex in the parallel world.

Among them, al-31m, that is, al-31f-m1 is just a product under the wartime system. While reducing the manufacturing labor hours and production costs by 15% it still achieves a 12.8 tons of afterburning thrust and a nine hundred hours of operating life. In contrast, al-31f-m2 is a formal development type in the "Saturn" consortium roadmap, redesigning a low-pressure compressor, combustion chamber loop and a management control system similar to fadec (full_authoday_digital_electronic_control, full-authorized digital electronic control). Although there are still some problems to be solved, if life extension and tvc are not considered, it is no problem to reach 14 tons.

Since that's the case, look at the m2 thrust vector data. The engine weight after tvc has not increased much. However, once it is assembled on the su-27m2, the problem becomes more complicated. Long Yun pointed and poked the material and confirmed with Koneshev that the rear body resistance of the m2 fighter will be affected by the engine diameter, so he further confirmed the idea of ​​replacing the ordinary al-31f-m2.

For super aces like Victor Rezenov, as long as the manufacturer can guarantee production capacity, engine life is not a problem at all, and the TVC that follows the flat track is even more optional.

After confirming the engine choice, the ambitious young man proposed to the Design Bureau that he would reserve a larger ammunition space for the air cannons of the m2 fighter jets, so that he could carry 300 shells, so he basically determined the sky mount to use next. In addition, considering that he would probably still enter the fighter aviation regiment to fight, the Su-27p42 he was assigned to when he left the front line should still be there, so that he would have three available fighters on hand.

Of course, considering the battlefield environment in the Far East, there is no radar installed at all, the su-27p42, which has almost dismantled electronic equipment, may not be applicable, and it can only be used as an emergency backup method for the time being.

With a brand new and improved fighter, in the next few days, Long Yun waited for the orders above and replaced the fighter jets of the Koneshev team, while flying to restore his state and honed his skills, preparing to exert the powerful deterrence of the number one ace in the upcoming Eastern War.
