Chapter 55 A ray of light

Long Yun's statement is not a speculation out of thin air, but a memory of past events from the real world.

Looking back at the 1990s at the end of the last century, the Chinese Air Force, which was also facing the threat of active radar-guided missiles in Western countries, also had various ideas to try to find effective tactics to use semi-active bullets such as R-27 and pl-11 to fight the Aim-120; but after careful theoretical analysis and several confrontation exercises, what are the conclusions?

"The most effective tactic, or the only effective tactic to fight active radar-guided missiles, is to obtain your own active radar-guided missiles as soon as possible through self-development or purchases."

The cold reality may be a bit cruel.

However, it is precisely because of the cruel and real reality that the Chinese Air Force has made up its mind to not only invest in support of Russian missile weapons research institutions, but also purchased a large number of R-77s in batches, but also increased investment in scientific research, prompting the domestic P-12 to be finalized and put into active service as soon as possible.

The reality of actively appearing on the sky battlefield made Long Yun recall these not-to-date past events.

Unfortunately, these memories are of no use to him now: the research progress of the "Pennant Flag" Design Bureau is difficult to surpass the limitations of the Soviet electronic technology level, and the purchasing method is even more nonsense. Faced with the unprecedented threat of the aim-120, I knew in my heart that this technological generation difference is difficult to compensate with the number of fighter jets or combat will. I stared at the pages of war damage reports that seemed to be soaked in blood in front of me, and Long Yun's eyes gradually became as cold as a knife.

Yes, even if this is not in the real world where you live. Even if everything in this world has nothing to do with you, as a time traveler, I personally experienced this unprecedented world war. From the moment I first drove a fighter, my desire for victory has been burning in his heart.

With the technological advantages that have come from time to time, facing the Americans' active threat, can't he do anything to guide the defenders of the Red Empire to restore this crisis?

But what can we do if we want to "rescue the crisis"?

Returning to the scene from endless imagination, Long Yun found that the atmosphere in the conference room was still a bit dull; he looked at the Air Force Commander Sergeyev at the long table. The middle-aged general leaning forward frowned and was smoking the misty cigarette in his hand silently.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was so depressing, Long Yun was about to say something to open up the situation. A participant sitting next to him gently touched him with his elbow and spoke to him in a low voice:

"Comrade Rezenov, do you have any better ways to deal with the new American weapon?"

"The technique of coping?"

Looking at the air force lieutenant general next to him who was looking forward to his face, Long Yun didn't know what to do, but at this time he found that the participants around him were looking in his direction, and his consciousness was spying on him, telling him that these people were looking forward to hearing his views of the Red Air Force's number one ace, so he was a little speechless for a moment: "Well... this..."

While hesitating and secretly organizing his ideas, Long Yun thought that he certainly could not say depressing words. He could not speak generously to them as a time traveler and directly said, "The active radar-guided missile cannot be stopped, and the only hope is to wait for the R-77 to appear"?

But if you want to give some constructive suggestions, he really didn't think of it for a while, so he asked casually:

"With missiles, maybe we can think of ways to see how the actual combat performance of the extended-range R-27 is now?"

The so-called extended-range r-27 missile is numbered r-27er/r-27et. Long Yun has seen physical objects once or twice before on the front line of the Caucasus. This missile was replaced with a larger diameter and longer thruster based on the original R-27r/r-27t design. He remembers that the maximum range of the two extended-range missiles can exceed 70 kilometers. This number is theoretically farther than the Aim-120b, and it was very considerable in the 1990s of parallel worlds.

“——You mean, r-27e series?”

As a combat staff member next to him took over the conversation, several people looked at Ushakov opposite the table. The latter cleared his throat, and his originally dim eyes seemed to have become a little brighter:

"About the R-27er, the current hit rate and reliability are OK. Victor, are you talking about using its long-range range to fight the Aim-120? This may be possible, but there are still some problems: First of all, the long-range of the R-27er missile requires the target interception distance of the carrier aircraft to be far enough, so it can only be mounted and used by the Su-277 with good radar performance. Others, such as the MiG-29, are difficult to perform the performance of the missile; secondly, the size of this missile is too large, and both VVS and PV have proposed too many restrictions on the carrier aircraft, and a Su-27 can only be mounted at most four."

"oh……"

Hearing Ushakov's explanation, Long Yun muttered absent-mindedly.

When he mentioned the R-27 missile just now, he seemed to remember a very important thing, which was related to the difficulties he was facing now, but what exactly was it? At this time, someone from the side joined the discussion. An officer was expressing his point of view, believing that the existing combat tactics should be changed and the head-on confrontation with enemy aircraft carrying active radar-guided missiles should be avoided. This view immediately aroused support or opposition from everyone, and the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became a little noisy.

Just in the venue that was gradually becoming lively, Long Yun was still thinking about the report in front of him. He knew that the Red Air Force could not have active radar-guided missiles in the hands of the opponent for the time being, but he did think of a means to use to rescue the enemy. That is—

Extended range r-27...

The family of r-27 missiles with numerous models...

Yes, in addition to the semi-active radar type r-27r and infrared type r-27t, there are also...

It was like a shiny lightning flash on a stormy night, and the knowledge of air-to-air missiles that I once knew once again emerged in my mind. Long Yun finally found the right direction from his complicated thoughts, or saw a ray of light.

If you use that method, it should be able to offset the threat of active blasting!

Returning to reality from the joy of discovering a hint of light, seeing that there was still a scene of heated discussion in the venue in front of him, he curbed the urge to rush out and let everyone shut up and listen. At the same time, he repeatedly pondered and thought in his heart until he had conceived a complete set of combat strategies and tactical arrangements that could be basically feasible, and then raised his hand to signal to General Sergeyev, who was sitting at the top of the table.

"—Oh? Victor, what are your good ideas?"

In the chaos, he saw Long Yun's inconspicuous gesture. The general raised his arms and waved it twice, allowing the participants who were blushing and spitting to calm down first, and then approached the position of the ace major general.

From now on, I found that this young man with outstanding military achievements was silent and thinking, and the general's tone also had a hint of obvious expectation:

"If you have any good ideas, Victor, just tell me!"
