Chapter 33 Discussion on Self-Directing Heads
Seeing clearly, General Secretary Malenkov was General Secretary Malenkov. Long Yun found that he was a little out of control, so he quickly bowed to say hello; but this was nothing, and in the eyes of others, he would probably only think that he was too excited.
"Congratulations on your extraordinary promotion again! How about it, is it still going well in the Caucasus?"
"Thank you, Comrade General Secretary! The battle went smoothly, the Americans' offensive was quite fierce, but the young men in the regiment were all good."
"Yeah, it's great! The war in the south is not easy now."
He greeted Petrov, the commander of the Land and Air Defense Forces who had walked by, and Malenkov knew that it was not the time for a long talk, although he had a lot to talk to the young Air Force Major General; so he glanced around and then said a long story to Long Yun with a happy look:
"The front-line combat is very difficult. Since we are here, we will rest here for two days." Thinking of the request of the Land and Air Defense Force Command, Malenkov instructed Long Yun: "Also, there will be new tasks for you in the past few days. Wait for about one or two days. There will be a meeting on the PV (Land and Air Defense Force) that needs you to participate."
"I understand, I will be on standby at any time! - Goodbye bye bye bye, Comrade General Secretary!"
"Goodbye, Victor! Relax."
The award ceremony ended, and the ace pilots from the Soviet Red Air Force, as well as combat heroes from various armies and soldiers took photos and chatted with guests. The lively cylindrical hall was really noisy for a long time before people gradually dispersed.
As the Red Air Force's well-deserved number one ace, Long Yun, who was eagerly surrounded by other VVS ace pilots, took a bus with them and came to the famous Kempinski Hotel in Moscow: Obviously, pilots from all over the Soviet Union would not have a residence in Moscow, so he was happy to stay in the hotel with these energetic and energetic young men. The people chatted very well along the way, and they also exchanged a lot of combat experience with their colleagues at the dinner party that night. The lively evening party turned into a heated tactical seminar, and everyone had a great time talking while eating.
The only regret is that this time, there were no comrades from the 309 Frontline Fighter Regiment who awarded the medal, and Long Yun didn't know what the situation of his old army was now. He planned to ask again when he went to the Air Force Command another day.
...
The next morning, after participating in a brief routine activity, he learned that the pilots were tempting to arrange the rest of the day. Long Yun originally planned to go to the Air Force Command, but the KGB agent who was accompanying him told him that someone had called.
Since coming to Moscow, the followers and protection of the KGB agents have been following each other. In this regard, Long Yun is not treated exactly like other pilots. Obviously, he attaches great importance to his personal safety. After taking the inconspicuous appearance and buying a somewhat thick old-fashioned mobile phone, Long Yun thought that not everyone can fight the KGB route, who could this be?
"Victor, congratulations!"
Hearing the familiar loud voice, Long Yun immediately remembered it.
"Andre!—Why did you know the letter when I called? I just came yesterday?"
"Hehe, I'm well-informed! I won't talk on the phone, and I'll talk to you at the lunchtime reception. Have you received the notification?"
After chatting with Andre for a pleasant conversation, Long Yun learned that at noon, there was a reception banquet for entertaining officers and combat heroes in the banquet hall of the Ministry of Defense Building. He was a little scared of such occasions of drinking and chatting, but knowing that Andre would also attend, he remembered the R-77 missile design information he submitted before. Isn’t this a good opportunity to talk to him?
Perhaps Andre was commended for his research and development achievements in jammers, missiles, etc.; it is not easy for him to come to Moscow, and it is also good to meet him on such occasions.
Near noon, in a Volga car sent by the KGB, Long Yun came to the annex building of the Ministry of National Defense Building and walked into the magnificent first-floor banquet hall. Before entering the main hall, he saw two oncoming local air defense officers in the lounge outside the corridor. The two of them greeted him happily, which surprised Long Yun:
"Comrade Rezenov! Hello, I'll be lucky."
"Uh, hello to Lieutenant General!..."
After saying hello and walking towards the banquet hall, Long Yun looked at the two people behind him with a little puzzled look. He didn't remember knowing them. General Secretary Malenkov said hello to him yesterday, but as an Air Force pilot, what would he have to do with PV?
Under the Soviet military system, although the equipment and combat methods are somewhat similar, VVS (Soviet Air Force) and PVS (Soviet National Air Defense Force) are two mutually duli branches. Generally speaking, as the name suggests, the National Air Defense Force is responsible for the important air defense of the Warsaw Pact Group countries, while the Air Force is responsible for combat tasks such as air closure, fighting for front-line air supremacy, strategic attacks; if it is true, PVS has to be ranked before VVS.
Since his time travel, as Victor Rezenov, Long Yun has been serving in the Soviet Air Force and has achieved numerous results in fierce front-line combat; after all, he was also flying fighter jets in the air, and his reputation is also well-known in the PV aviation force, which is not surprising.
Think about PV's responsibilities. Their mission is mainly to be responsible for interception operations of national air defense. Although such division of labor is already vague in the current war, he thinks it is unlikely to transfer his Air Force ace to conduct interception tasks.
"Hello! Comrade Major General!"
The greetings that interrupted Long Yun's thoughts were soft and very familiar.
Long Yun looked back and saw a young and beautiful girl in front of her, with big chestnut wavy hair and a pretty face painted with a pretty surprise look. Oh, Long Yun remembered that she was Yevgenia and Liu Jin, who had dinner together when she came to Moscow last time; the well-proportioned man standing beside her was Colonel Andre, Victor's old friend—
Oh no, I'm afraid it's more than that!
After seeing Andre's epaulette and military uniform clearly, Long Yun realized that this guy was now a technical major general, probably the one who had just been promoted.
"Hey, Victor!" Andrey also smiled happily when he saw Long Yun, and came over to raise his glass to celebrate: "Congratulations to our hero on his further and becoming the youngest major general in the history of the motherland!"
Picking up a glass of wine from the tray next to it, Long Yun raised his glass and touched Andre twice, but his mouth was not vague, "Don't say that, I don't think I can't support the general's uniform."
"Hey! This is the honor you deserve. Sixty-three results, be good!" Andrei exclaimed sincerely. The three old friends - perhaps not very familiar with Long Yun - did not exchange any more greetings, just sat down in the lounge and chatted leisurely.
But after saying a few words, he looked at the left and right. Major General Andre did not leave his own business. He took out a small notebook and came to Long Yun.
"Victor, the information you sent last time," he said intently. Andre looked around mysteriously, as if he felt that even in such a banquet venue, it might not be absolutely confidential. "It's okay to say anything else, how can you do the launch unit?"
Ah, is this guy really doing research on missiles and forgetting to eat and sleep?
Long Yun looked up at Liu Jin. The handsome woman stood up and left appropriately, and went to chat with other female guests. Then he hesitated to look at the simple hand-drawn drawings on Andrei's hand.
Compared with the memory of the R-77 missile self-conducting head in my mind, after looking at it for a while, Long Yun gradually discovered some problems. Looking at the design drawings drawn by Andre, it seems that they are still affected by the idea of semi-active radar-guided missiles: not to mention anything else, just look at the so-called launch unit design, or the set of Casegren antennas, but just trying to find a way to force a new module into it.
Although it is a graphic design sketch, Long Yun can fully imagine how huge the missile will be. In order to make such a head, the diameter must be thicker, and then to ensure that the head-on shooting range is not lower than the design indicators, and a larger and longer thruster must be installed...
Isn’t this a big-sized active r-27er, a monster with a size comparable to r-33 and "Immortal Bird"?
Oh, when it comes to r-33, Long Yun remembers it.
Isn't this "pencil flag" design bureau the unit that develops the R-33 active radar guided missile? In this case, is Andre's plan a little modified based on the R-33? Long Yun raised this question and received Andre's affirmative reply:
"Yes, although the seeker of the active radar guided missile is still confidential, it doesn't matter if you talk about it. Technically, it's similar to what I'm drawing now, but according to your ideas, just integrate the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna together."
"But in this case," Long Yun shook his head, "there is no way to significantly reduce the volume. If the size is the same as the seeker of r-33, then the detection distance is too short, which means there is no practical use."
Andre took the small notebook and looked at it. He grabbed his hair in a bit embarrassing way, as if he thought the problem was quite tricky.
"I have read the drawings you gave at that time. The principle is very advanced and advanced; but there is a problem. Our current process of this modular phased array antenna cannot be realized. So we can only change it to the current design, and there is also considerable loss in performance: You see, if you barely achieve the self-conducting distance you require is not less than 14 kilometers, you either need to increase the diameter of the receiving antenna or increase the transmission power - that is, you need to increase the battery capacity of the self-conducting head. No matter which method, the weight and volume of the self-conducting module are not small; not to mention that the anti-interference and other indicators you mentioned at that time were very high. Frankly speaking, I think this may not be possible."
