"Oh, OK, comrade Captain."

In the real world, Long Yun is already very familiar with the mystery in front of him, but he doesn't mind listening to the introduction more.

But to his surprise, Simonov's next introduction was as plain as water, obviously without any technical content. He just approached and pointed at the huge fighter plane in front of the two of them with some vague vagueness:

"Comrade Major General, the one parked in the hangar now is Mig-31m, and it is also the main force in the regiment to perform interception missions. The supporting weapon system is here." After saying the aircraft model, he walked towards the missile cart in the hangar a few steps and introduced the missile weapons used by the MiG aircraft to Long Yun:

"This is the r-33, which is the legendary 'Immortal Ski', of course that's all rumor; the two below," he pointed at the two warheads on the mount with red protective covers, which were significantly longer than ordinary missiles. "One r-40r and one r-40t. Well, in short, that's about it. Do you want to take a look at the radar and fire control system components of the fighter jet?"

"Radar and fire control...? OK, but-"

Seeing Long Yun standing there in surprise, Simonov thought he was saying something wrong. He rubbed his hands a little restrainedly, as if he didn't quite understand the meaning of the major general of the aviation army in front of him.

Seeing his appearance, Long Yun also felt very strange. Then he peeked through his consciousness and found out where the misunderstanding between the two people was: the captain who accompanied him did not receive the order of his superiors with a very high degree of confidentiality. He probably thought that the major general in front of him was sent to check the work, or investigate the unfavorable combat situation of the interception some time ago, so he spoke very carefully - this was a completely misunderstanding!

"Ah, Comrade Simonov, I still have some understanding of the G-31 and the supporting weapon system. After all, I will fly this kind of fighter jet to perform combat missions soon. Isn't the current mission to intercept American reconnaissance aircraft? Their superiors sent me here for this purpose."

"Flying a fighter plane?...driving it yourself?"

In other words, the trump cardinal major general in front of him is he going to fight in person?

It was a little confused by Long Yun's words. Simonov was surprised and opened his mouth until the regiment headquarters called him and asked him to lead the route to the regiment headquarters office for the major general. The Victor Rezenov sent from above was a star figure who was well known to everyone even in the remote Alarsk base. Everyone knew that the number one ace with amazing record was the top player in driving the su-27. How could he come here to fly g-31?

Even if he is the number one ace, it may not be possible to take all of any aircraft, unless he has passed the irritable G-31 before, but... as far as he knows, the Air Force does not seem to have many aircraft equipped in total. Can this guess be valid?

With suspicion in his heart, Simonov led Long Yun to the regiment office, saluted the military salute and waited outside the door.

Walking into the two-story building on one side of the base, in the office of the regiment headquarters with plenty of sunshine and dry air, Long Yun met Mikhail Levsenko, the leader of the 290 Land Air Defense Regiment, as well as the deputy regiment commander, political commissar and others next to him. Last night, the lieutenant colonel political commissar welcomed him at the airport. After a brief greeting, the regiment commander roughly introduced the situation in the base and then invited him to participate in the next combat discussion.

When they passed through the narrow corridor of the office building, the group arrived at the simple-decorated rectangular conference room, the chairs beside the long table were already full of people. It seemed different from the aviation regiment stationed on the front line. It was stationed in the inland hinterland and focused on national air defense. The 290th regiment, which was stationed in the hinterland and focused on national air defense, did not make frequent attacks, and pilots without duty missions basically came.

"First of all, let me introduce you to you. This is Major General Victor Rezenov who came to assist our group. Of course, everyone here knows our number one ace, so there is no need to introduce it more!"

As the leader Levsenko said, a burst of warm applause rang out in the conference room. It was obvious that the PV pilots were well acclaimed to Victor's name, and some people greeted him enthusiastically, "Hey Victor! - our genius!"

"Okay, okay," raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down. Levsenko picked up the battle report on the table, "You can say hello and then say it. I think we will learn from Comrade Rezenov seriously and complete our tasks more practically. - Ilia, I have roughly read this report. The attack the night before yesterday did not successfully enter the target route. Have you analyzed the specific reasons?"

"Well, I think it's the deviation of the automated guidance system; it may be that Americans are too cunning, and this is possible."

"Is that true? This is not possible. We have always emphasized the need to intercept head-on, but now it seems," the regiment commander flipped through the paper in his hand, took out one and gestured carefully, and asked the officer next to him to replace it with the slide. "The 'Black Bird'''s track is not fixed every time, and there is no regularity. - Well, we can see that it is not repeated investigations for certain targets, but seems to be specifically for harassment. In this case, the function of the ground guidance station can only provide pre-excitation. It is impossible to send us to the intersection of the target tracks every time. We should think of other methods."

I felt that the leader was right, and the young man named Ilya nodded.

As one of the participants in the meeting, Long Yun carefully observed the slide projection on the screen in his seat. On the Soviet Central Asia map outlined by the curved boundary line, the routes that represent the penetration of SR-71 are messy and dense, and it is indeed not regular. After only a few glances, he felt that Commander Levsenko was right. This was not like a strategic reconnaissance. What could be worth sending SR-71 to peek at repeatedly?

The brief battle summary will soon come to an end, and the pilots all got up and left; chatting with them for a few days at the door, Long Yun returned to the conference room to sit down. Seeing Levsenko and the political commissar both had serious expressions, he knew that the next small-scale discussion would touch the key to the problem, so he sat upright and straightened his back.

"Uh, Comrade Rezenov," took the folder brought by the deputy commander, and Levsenko's voice was quite low. "I wonder if I have seen all the materials sent to you before?"

Noting that Levsenko called himself "you", Long Yun felt a little awkward to think that his current identity was already a major general of the Air Force Air Force. In other words, he was the person with the highest rank in the entire Alarsk base. He was still a little uncomfortable with this role: "Yes, I have checked it carefully page by page."

"So, in short, what do you think about this?"

"What do I think?"

Facing the slightly anticipated gaze of Levsenko and others, Long Yun recalled the reports and analytical materials he had read before. There were many objective facts and relatively few subjective arguments. The stack of materials showed that every take-off interception operation carried out by the National Land Defense Air Defense Force since the invasion of the "Black Bird". In about half of the cases, the interceptors sent out had discovered the target and fired missiles, but there was no hit.

"Yes, Comrade Rezenov, this matter has become very difficult now, and the attitude above is becoming increasingly severe."

Perhaps affected by the adverse combat, Levsenko's statement was a bit slow. Obviously, the leader's mood was not too high. "Of course we also know that this matter is of great importance, but the recent battle has indeed not been smooth: According to the unified deployment of PV, there are now three national air defense regiments, including 290 regiments, who are now responsible for intercepting the "Blackbird". They are equipped with MiG-31 series fighter jets, and a total of sixty or seventy interceptors have been put into operation. In the past two or three weeks, the total number of attacks under the command of the automatic interception guidance system has exceeded one hundred, and the fuel consumed is almost thousands of tons, but there has been no gain.

As for why there was no missile hit? This matter is a bit inexplicable.

During the previous combat summary, we have also received reports from some pilots, and observed unusual electronic signals behind the missiles, and the radar has also been disturbed. Based on this, it is speculated that the Americans may have mastered the electronic frequency of the MiG-31 weapon system and installed an electronic interference device on the "Blackbird". This speculation is quite reasonable, but unlike the radar-guided R-33 and R-40r, the several R-40ts launched in many battles also fell off the target, which is a bit bizarre."

"Infrared type r-40t? - Will this also be off-target?"

Hearing this, Long Yun, who was sitting upright, also asked a question. He knew that the surface temperature of the sr-71 in the cruise state was very high, and it was basically the most ideal infrared target. Without the launch of jamming bombs, none of the infrared guided missiles hit. If the PV pilots had not made any mistakes in the missile launch conditions, or what was the name here.

"Yes! So we were confused for a time and we also sent electronic reconnaissance aircraft to collect possible electronic interference signals. You can also take a look at the records in this regard, but it seems that it is not very helpful to solve the problem."

Hey, this is a bit weird!

Hearing the introduction of the group leader, Long Yun looked at the materials in his hand and fell into deep thought.
Chapter completed!
