Chapter 691： Invisibility debate again

"Yes." Andre's answer was very straightforward: "Stealth, it can be said, is directly related to our victory in air combat in the next ten years. If we can't do the best in stealth performance, then, Our air force and air defense air force have no hope of winning. In the next-generation fighter aircraft, stealth is a hard indicator, and it must be determined. The forward radar reflection area of ​​our next-generation fighter aircraft cannot exceed 0.1 square meters. It is best to be on the order of 0.05 square meters, that is, about the size of a helmet."

What is the reflection area of ​​the current Soviet fighter jets? The forward radar reflection area of ​​the Su-27 is definitely more than 5 square meters, that is to say, it needs to be reduced by a hundred times!

"Stealth performance will affect the outcome of future wars. In this Middle East war, we have experienced the threat of stealth fighters. Even myself, I almost died under the bombing of American stealth fighters." An "Everyone should know what it means when the radar reflection area is reduced to the order of 0.1 square meters," Dere said.

"All our radars will become blind," said the commander-in-chief of the Air Defense Force on the side. In this Middle East war, the most important influence on the Soviet Homeland Defense Air Force is the American attack aircraft! He knew that the existing Soviet air defense forces would not be able to detect such fighter planes. If a world war really broke out, even if such planes flew over Moscow to drop bombs, they would have no countermeasures. At that time, his air defense force would Commander, apart from resigning, there is no second choice!

"The emergence of stealth technology will completely change the future war situation." Andre said: "Maybe, we thought all this was still far away, but when the US F-117 dropped bombs over Iraq, we You should be completely awake by these bombs. Stealth aircraft will change the future air combat situation, and if we want to catch up, we must develop the same stealth performance. For example, I will give you a simple tactical example. "

Andre stood up and picked up the two aircraft models next to him: "This fighter plane has poor stealth performance, and this one has very strong stealth performance. When both sides turn on the radar at the same time, this aircraft cannot be used within 50 kilometers. Find each other at a distance, and the other party has been able to find each other!"

The first one that Andre picked up was a MiG, and the second one that Andre picked up was a Sukhoi fighter. (For convenience of description, hereinafter referred to as m-machine and s-machine.)

"In this way, the M plane doesn't know what threat is ahead, and the S plane on the opposite side has completed the search and lock, and launched the missile. Everyone knows that our missile performance is constantly developing. The latest R-77, designed The overload is 35 to 40G, which is far greater than the overload of the fighter plane, so as long as it is locked by the missile and launches an attack, it will be easily shot down." Andre's two hands grasped the fighter plane and kept gesturing.

Although the R-27 has just been in service, the latest R-77 is already in the design stage. This is a medium-range air-to-air missile with an active warhead. Its performance is quite advanced. The twists and turns, the focus is on the problems of electronic technology, and now, with the injection of electronic technology in the island countries, the Soviet Union has made rapid progress in this regard. Relying on the excellent integration ability of Soviet engineers, there are few technical problems. The Soviet engineers have made A small active seeker of flat slot antenna has come out, which is much more advanced than the historical ones.

"Of course, for stealth aircraft, it is quite unwise to turn on the radar, which will cause the passive warning receiver of the opponent to trigger. Therefore, our stealth aircraft, more air combat plans, should be under the command of the rear early warning aircraft. , quietly approach, and then use photoelectric radar, that is, advanced systems such as the OEPS-27 photoelectric fire control system on our Su-27 to target, these devices do not radiate radar waves and will not be detected, such as now. "

Andre continued to use two planes to demonstrate: "M plane is cruising normally in the sky, while S plane, under the command of the rear AWACS aircraft, circled to the rear of M plane, occupying a position at a distance of 50 kilometers, and turned on The fire control system launches the missile. After the seeker enters the active guidance range, the missile is launched. During the whole process, the downed fighter plane is in a state of ignorance. Until it is shot down, he does not know where the missile came from. As for what he has The system, whether it is a ground radar station or an airborne early warning aircraft, cannot effectively detect stealth aircraft.”

"Are our pilots not brave? Absolutely not! Are our pilots too skilled? No! But our pilots have to take off under the threat of stealth aircraft, and there is no possibility of counterattack until they are shot down. Andre said: "All of this is because of us, because we have not paid attention to the huge threat that stealth performance brings to modern air combat! The style of air combat will change dramatically! If we don't pay attention, let our Pilots have to fly non-stealth fighters to fight against the opponent's stealth aircraft, and get a terrible exchange ratio. This is something we can't tolerate. At that time, these people we sit in will become Sinners of the Soviets!"

Although Andre is young, Andre's qualifications have given him such a tone of voice. If he doesn't pay attention to stealth performance, he is a sinner of the Soviets!

"It's not that we don't pay attention to stealth capabilities, but we believe that stealth capabilities should not unduly affect mobility. We focus on new technologies, such as our use of plasma technology to stealth, not to better deal with the issues of stealth and maneuverability. Is it?" said the chief engineer of the Mikoyan Design Bureau.

The use of a diamond-shaped nose, butterfly-shaped wings, and a tail with a large inclination does not meet the standard of aerodynamics, and the resistance will become large. For example, the F-117, which focuses on stealth, was originally developed. Doubt this thing can fly.

The F-117 is just an attack aircraft, and if the new fighter attaches too much importance to stealth performance, resulting in poor maneuverability, it cannot be the standard of fighter aircraft.

Mikoyan's designers, and for this reason, they simply dealt with the issue of stealth and pinned their hopes on plasma stealth technology.
