"Update all the fighter planes" seems to be a very luxurious idea. It is not difficult to do with the support of the huge production capacity of the Red Empire that completed the wartime system transformation.

With the help of the data link between two tight formation fighter jets, the Su-27ub that Zakharov was riding can receive scanning information from the radar system on a single-seat Su-27 at close range, and then use the onboard electronic system to process it, providing him, the air commander with enemy-to-we-stance information in the 70-degree conical airspace in front of the two-plane formation.

For a team of fans flying at low altitudes ahead, although IF recognition is still a problem, it copied the Red Air Force's ground-guided combat tradition and cooperated with the N011 radar's good multi-target tracking capabilities. The command team composed of "Fire Eye" and "Glount" can still command up to eight fighter jets to face the enemy. Although this processing capability cannot be compared with the A-50 early warning aircraft or the ground command center, it is sufficient for VVS that perform offensive defensive operations.

The enemy's traces have been revealed, and the performance of the young men on the frontline fighter gang!

Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes and tilted his head to look at the light-colored camouflage fighter piloting on the front side. Major Zakharov took a break from his busy schedule. He felt that the newly received Su-27m fighter jets in this group not only had excellent performance, but also looked much more pleasant to the paint plan.

While observing the battlefield situation on the display screen in front of me, I accidentally thought of the suffix number of "m". As a veteran pilot, the aviation major, I couldn't help but recall that the model "su-27m" seemed to have heard of the rumor in the regiment for a long time; but now I really saw it with my own eyes, it seems that it is different from the previous statements.

He was in the sky battlefield where the situation was changing at any time. He had no time to think about more. After discovering signs of an enemy plane launching an over-visual range attack, he immediately contacted White No. 20, which was on the edge of radar scanning, via radio:

"'Glountai' calls 'Cross Axe', and 'Glountai' calls 'Cross Axe', there are medium-sized targets in your ten o'clock direction, with a height of 6,800, and a quantity of 5 to 6; repeat, there are targets in your ten o'clock direction, please pay attention to searching and obeying, and it's finished."

"I received the 'Cross Axe'. Was it at ten o'clock? I haven't found the target yet, so I'm ready to go out and pick up the enemy; repeat, and get ready to go out and pick up the enemy, and it's over."

"Uh... the target distance is about one hundred (km) and the height is reduced to six thousand,"

Several high-speed targets coming on the screen were observed, and they suspected that these were American F-15s. Zaharov estimated that Victor's White No. 20 had not yet "see" the enemy. However, he naturally did not agree to the number one ace's request. "The target should have just carried out an out-of-visual range attack; - It has been confirmed that there are no friendly targets in the airspace ahead. Please keep the iff on and don't fight too much!

I wish you all the best. 'Cross Axe'."

"Haha, OK! No problem."

Pressing the caller button to respond, driving the White No. 20 Su-27s over the command team all the way forward. Before pushing the throttle to speed up, Long Yun looked back at the two su-27m and su-27ubs flying together in the sky below.

Today's launch attack is different from the single-machine dispatch that relies on ground guidance before. With the "Fire Eye" with excellent radar performance, the n011 radar is not as far as the a-50, but at least it can ensure that the airspace in the rear half of the ball is clean. Ensuring the safety of the tail rear direction is simply a matter of life and death for ordinary pilots. For a sky killer like Long Yun, which has perfect technology and intuition, it is not a problem that can be ignored at will.

After experiencing fierce battles in parallel worlds, he has killed his opponents without any warning many times. Long Yun, as a double ace of aviation competition and air combat, is naturally very clear that in more than 80% of the crash battles in air combat, the attackers were hit without finding the attacker at all. Even for the ace pilot, the proportion would be much lower, but no matter what, it would still be "the back of the head will not have eyes", otherwise the pilots would not have tried their best to fight maneuvers and would have to seize the opponent's direction at six o'clock.

Although as a super ace that dominates the sky, now with super powers as a support, Long Yun is very confident that no one can bite his six points, it is always right to be more careful about war. With this idea, he glanced at a group of Sukhoi dual-machines that gradually retreated in his sight. The light-colored camouflage brand new Su-27m looks quite neat, which makes him a little moved, who is used to flying in the VVS standard su-27s.

When this battle is over and the Americans are driven out of Türkiye, can he also change to a few new models to use? Maybe this improved model will work as well as the Su-35bm in the real world?

Just a few days ago, Long Yun had already known about a major event for the 237th Regiment. Although this matter seemed to be indifferent to him who had three fighter jets (and one was temporarily repaired at the Helsun base): that is, after a period of waiting, the latest batch of Su-27m fighter jets from IPO finally arrived.

Regarding the familiar number of "su-27m", Long Yun thought it was the old su-35 produced by Russia in the real world, which was a randomly changed the numbered su-27m for sales, and the enhanced version of the three-winged surface of the su-27. However, when he went to the hangar during the battle, he found that the situation here was different from the real world, because the Red Empire had always existed, and there was no funding and other constraints. Although the Sukhoi Design Bureau had proposed the three-winged surface improvement plan for the su-27, it did not waste too much time on it, but quickly embarked on the road of improving weight loss, strengthening, and thrust.

Because of this, unlike the so-called "su-27m" that the Sukhoi Design Bureau built the test aircraft in 1987, it has recently begun to appear in the Red Air Force equipment sequence. The number of su-27m is currently relatively rare. Although the number is similar to the old su-35 in the real world, many subsystems are in line with each other, but they are taking another development path in their bones.

Long before the launch of Operation Typhoon, like the other three Su-27 fighter aviation regiments stationed in the Caucasus War Zone, the 237th Fighter aviation regiment also began to replace the Su-27m fighter jets in small quantities. These were equipped with N011 flat-slit seam array antenna radar, upgraded the Al-31fm engine and rewrite some flight control codes. Although the appearance seems to have almost no change, it is not as fancy as the three-winged Su-27m solution proposed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau before, but its actual performance is greatly improved than the basic Su-27s. Later, it defeated the flashy three-winged Su-27m solution in the competition of the Design Bureau and finally won.

Long Yun was naturally a little overjoyed about this situation in the parallel world. He had long been familiar with the complicated past of su-27m, su-35 and even su-37 after the collapse of the Soviet Union in the real world. In contrast, the Soviet Union in the parallel world quickly found the correct direction of improvement for "hardly practicing internal skills" and launched a new model similar to the Soviet Union in the real world, which made him quite pleased.

Not to mention anything else, for the su-27m and su-35bm in the real world, the old and new generations of "su-35", one sentence can explain what is right and what is wrong here:

The performance shortcomings of the single-seat su-27 are mainly due to insufficient thrust-weight ratio due to the overweight body, resulting in poor vertical maneuverability and energy recovery speed. The su-27m on the three-wing surface has made no achievements in this regard due to excessive weight gain. It was not until the su-35bm that it finally made substantial improvements.

Of course, in addition to this, other disadvantages of su-27, such as rolling speed, cannot be solved by simple improvements, and Long Yun does not have too high requirements for this.

After thinking about changing the fighter plane for a moment, Long Yun secretly laughed at himself for being a little greedy, but for a super ace like Victor Rezenov, it would be a bit unnatural if he insisted on using the basic su-27s without switching to the m-type in time!

Just talking about the Su-27m dress-up this time, if it weren't for the busy war, he had no time to conduct adaptive training - of course, for Long Yun, who was full of simulator flight experience in the real world, he actually didn't need this step at all, but even in order to pretend, he would need several days of dress-up test flights. At a time when the Caucasus War Zone was full of smoke, he really didn't have that much time to do such things.

Okay, then let’s greet the Americans first, and wait until the war is almost over and then you will be busy changing your clothes!

Thinking of the further optimization of the aerodynamic appearance, the Su-27m equipped with the al-31fm engine and the n011 radar, Long Yun was unconsciously itchy; at this time, a prompt sound rang in the cockpit, and the fire control system had discovered that several head-on approaching targets in the sky ahead. He switched the lightning to achieve the multi-target combat mode, and confirmed that there were only these oncoming enemy aircraft in the sky at high altitude, so he further pushed the throttle valve forward and the pull rod entered to accelerate the climb.
