Chapter 124: The Eve of the Storm

Of course, the so-called "squander" may not be used by ordinary troops, and the 239th Regiment does not have such concerns.

The size and weight of r-77p has a smaller range but is close to the large firecrackers like r-27ep, and can be overloaded higher than the latter. This means that when it is necessary to mount anti-radiation missiles, the su-27 series fighter can be mounted many times at a time through a composite pylon, which is of course a very good tool for the subsequent battle.

In a few days, we received a series of good news from all parties, and we can plan the next long-sea combat strategy based on this. On the one hand, Long Yun continued to make careful preparations, and on the other hand, he also learned about the long-distance movements of the Red Navy through the top-secret intelligence channels exclusively by Victor Rezenov. At the same time, he maintained close contact with IPO and paid attention to the improvement of the An-124 aircraft and the Su-27m2.

If he really wants to participate in an ocean-going naval battle, then both "fighter jets" and "carrier jets" are essential.

In terms of "fighter", considering the combat power of the US Navy carrier-based aircraft units, it is often better than the UAF fighter units with the same weapon platform. It is about to face the "Tomcat", and Long Yun of the "Super Hornet" fighter will naturally choose the Su-27m2 to meet the enemy. For this reason, IPO specially modified the fighter jets. This work is now close to completion.

Compared with the improved piloting of fighter jets, the "carrier" is almost an amateur. Long Yun still received a report from Comrade Sergei Koneshev. In the past week, the modification of the an-124b has also been smooth: the B-type transport aircraft was originally designed to carry a "blizzard", and can carry a large space shuttle with a total weight of more than 100 tons, and it certainly has no capacity restrictions on lifting on the su-27m2.

However, compared with the transportation "Blizzard" level, the former only needs to take off from one ground and land from another with a space shuttle on his back and complete the transition. The latter needs to release the carrier aircraft over the ocean to participate in the battle. It seems that they are carrying an aircraft on their back. The su-27m2 is much lighter than the "Blizzard". However, the stage of air separation can be said to be the most dangerous part of the entire plan. For this reason, Koneshev not only studied and calculated with the technicians of the Antonov Design Bureau, but also had to conduct several flight and air separation tests carrying the m2 aircraft.

Aircraft design and test flight. Even in the real world of the 21st century, theoretical analysis cannot solve all problems. Many things can only be determined by practice.

After knowing the progress of IAPO's research, Long Yun followed the trends of the Red Navy.

The secret modification of the platform, the latest trends of the Pacific Fleet, all of these things, the faxes he flipped through in his hands were highly confidential, especially the fleet movements on the ocean. Even for Victor Rezenov, the theater command and the information provided by the Fleet Command may not reveal the situation completely.

Through pages of browsing, young people gradually formed the overall concept of the Red Navy's activities in the Far East. Although they did not know the specific fleet formation and did not know where the ocean fleet composed of these large warships had gone, based on the intelligence of all parties, especially the movements of the US Navy, a long-established long-term battle between the two sides was indeed about to kick off somewhere in the vast ocean.

The attack request, coupled with some conjectures and speculations, can probably outline Victor's role in this contest.

Time passed day by day, with the cold wind and snowy Irkutsk, and in the huge factory of the Aviation Industry Federation, the skilled technicians responsible for the modification of the White No. 20 Su-27m2 fighter jet had finished their work. The Sukhoi fighter jet, which had just left IPO and went to a Red Air Force long-range aviation base in the vast forest with two Su-27m.

In the northern land where the cold wind was covered with snow, the two gray-white An-124b transport aircraft were flew to IPO in the previous stage to receive the modified two gray-white An-124b transport aircraft, and were on standby on the long runway on the side of the huge base. According to the project team's plan, the modified "Ruslan" B aircraft will first conduct flight tests without the fighter jet, and then carry the Su-27m2 for several long-distance flight tests. Finally, it overcomes the difficulty of this modification plan, that is, try to separate from the carrier in the air and let the fighter enter the battlefield alone.

The huge an-124b, equipped with a Sukhoi fighter, would obviously be impressive in such a test.

To keep the secret of the combat plan of Lt. General's Comrade's combat plan, the "fighter" and "carrier" that were modified in IPO were assigned to the Oryokminsk base, a small town located in the middle of the Lena River in the inland Siberia, completing a series of flight tests in a large sea of ​​less-petitive forests.

An emergency occurred, and the above-mentioned progress was "faster, the better". A few days before waiting for the arrival of the Su-27 fighter jet, the two An-124bs had completed regular tests and were preparing to conduct flight tests with fighters early this morning.

In the wind and snow, slowly sliding under the tall tower that had just been assembled, a huge "Ruslan" parked in the center of the tower span. The operator tried hard to stabilize the crane trajectory in a gust of wind, trying to place a color-blocking camouflage painted fighter that had been lifted to the bottom of the crane on the top of the transport plane.

It was the coldest season of the year, and the raging cold wind made this work extremely difficult, but in the end, the docking was successfully completed. The "Ruslan" equipped with a Su-27m was towed to the take-off position of the runway by a KZKT-537l tractor filled with iron blocks in the rear cabin. With the driver's control, the whistling of four D-18t engines gradually rose, even overshadowed the howling north wind. The "Ruslan" B-type aircraft carrying the fighter and the half-full fuel tank began to slide and accelerate, and soon carried the Su-27m fighter with its head raised to the grayish-white sky.

The first time the carrier fighter was launched, it was not equipped with the M2 type, but the Su-27m. This was naturally due to risk control considerations. If, just if, if, if something happens, "Ruslan" can also be urgently drawn from the aerospace base, but the su-27m2 cannot be replenished immediately.

“Oh,——Good, everything is going well at the moment!

Anatolly, keep the video data well, the data collected by the sensor may not be reliable, and you must compare it with the takeoff tracks taken back."

A whistling sound of the turbofan engine gradually faded away. He was wearing a heavy coat and standing far away on the side of the runway. The head of the IPO special team responsible for the secret modification mission looked into the distance, watching the main wing spread, and the majestic "Ruslan" gradually climbed up and disappeared from sight.

I was very satisfied with this test flight. I finally started to gain something after many days of busy days and nights. Although I had to conduct a more difficult air separation test in the airplane, I thought about my responsibilities and the proposer of this crazy idea, and covered my hands with leather gloves on my ears. The person in charge walked quickly towards the airport dispatch room with confidence on the snow. He always believed that this plan would be successful because it was a combat plan proposed by the "Caucasus Death".

Isn't that awesome super ace, even if it comes up with such a bold idea, it should be confident and can make it a legend of war again!

The project is orderly and is fed back to Long Yun’s desk day by day, and the confidence of young people is also accumulating.

However, even if you have confidence in the subsequent ocean-going battles, and take the latest news from the General Command every day, Long Yun cannot predict when the battle will break out, nor know the specific movements of the ocean-going fleet. After all, for the Red Navy, the whereabouts of the ship formations and submarines are the highest secret. Even if Victor Rezenov himself is absolutely reliable, the information cannot be guaranteed to be out of no way during the transmission process, so the news in this regard is naturally unmissible.

Of course, for Long Yun, who has formulated a plan to "carry 'Ruslan' into the battlefield", if he really wants to figure out where the fleet is going and prepare for battle in advance, it is absolutely okay to go directly to Vladivostok.

You can know the message by going to the Pacific Fleet Command, but he did not do so. Instead, he temporarily abandoned all distracting thoughts and focused on what VVS ace should do. After all, he chose to stand by on land. Once something happened, he took an-124b to attack to make full use of time. Before the navy issued a summon, he just needed to continue to take the air to kill the enemy.

Long Yun still doesn't know about the combat deployment of the Red Navy and the movements of the large number of combat ships in the Pacific Fleet.

However, he is obviously not the only one who is thinking about this issue.

In recent days, after mediocrity in the early stages of the war and a large-scale deployment adjustment, under the urging of the Pacific Command, which was deeply stimulated by the war situation and even the United States government, the two major fleets of the US Navy, which were in charge of the Pacific, finally began to operate. The gray-white U.S. Navy warships appeared in groups in the North Pacific, and the uncertain nuclear submarines patrol deep in the ocean. The two aircraft carrier battle groups dispatched from the home port of San Diego, all the way through the waves and marched towards the Northeast Pacific.
